Peninsula: The idol by the bedside refreshes randomly.

Chapter 123 You also want to call Chen Ran your husband?

Jin Ruanruan, who was standing next to Jessica Jung, noticed Jessica's gaze and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Did you send a food truck to Chen Ran's film crew?"

Upon hearing this, Kim Tae-yeon subconsciously raised her hand and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Oh, this? I did send one, you reminded me last night."

"But I reminded you to deliver a coffee cart, why did you deliver a food cart instead?"

Jessica Jung couldn't understand it.

Why is Jin Ruanruan thinking of food delivery trucks too?

That was something she came up with herself last night.

Jessica was thinking about herself.

He said he came up with it himself, and there was absolutely no problem with it.

Last night, she originally planned to just follow the trend and deliver coffee from the truck.

The main reason is that she couldn't think of anything else to give.

After all, idols have that status to speak of; if they do anything too outrageous, it will only attract unnecessary attention.

It would be better to find another opportunity to advance your relationship with Chen Ran privately.

Unexpectedly, Jessica suddenly messaged her, asking what she had prepared for Chen Ran's opening ceremony.

Jessica Jung didn't hide it either.

Then Jessica replied, "That's it? Can't you use your brain?"

Jessica Jung was immediately furious: Who are you calling brainless?

Jessica: Everyone else sends coffee trucks, so you send a coffee truck too. That's not very interesting. Can't you send something special?

Jessica Jung: Given my status, I can't be too high-profile.

Jessica: Duh! I told you to be special, not flashy! Listen to me, a food delivery truck, and that's how the posters are designed...

So, at her own suggestion, Jessica Jung switched to sending a food truck instead.

That's why she acted so confident when Krystal called her that morning.

Not to mention Park Ji-yeon and Ham Eun-jung, who are not even considered opponents at the moment, even Sulli would never have thought of this.

At that time, she will be the most dazzling person in the whole place.

But who could have imagined that Jin Ruanruan, who had been keeping a low profile, would suddenly make a big move?

Was her previous nonchalant and unassuming demeanor just an act?

Suddenly, a possibility occurred to her. Jessica Jung's eyes widened, and she leaned closer to Kim Yeon-yeon, whispering, "Could it be that Kim Tae-yeon asked you to deliver it like this?"

"Forehead"

Jin Ruanruan pursed her lips and finally nodded gently.

It was indeed Kim Tae-yeon who asked her to deliver the food truck.

Last night, after asking Yoona if she wanted a coffee truck delivered to Chen Ran, she originally planned to call and order one.

Before I could even press the call button, Kim Tae-yeon's message popped up first.

What are you planning to give Xiao Ran for her filming launch ceremony tomorrow?

Jin Ruanruan: A coffee truck.

Kim Tae-yeon: With Krystal and Ham Eun-jung from T-ara around, their members will definitely send coffee trucks. If you send some too, the whole crew won't be able to finish drinking it all.

Jin Ruanruan thought about it and realized that it did make sense.

Kim Tae-yeon then sent another message.

Listen to me, use a food truck. Others deliver coffee trucks, you deliver food trucks. That way you have both food and drinks, it couldn't be better.

A food cart wouldn't be a bad idea.

Besides coffee trucks, many people also ordered food trucks to show their support.

She replied: Okay, then I'll send the food truck.

Kim Tae-yeon: Yeah, and then on the food truck posters, we'll put a picture of your little smiling face, along with the words "Xiao Ran is treating everyone to dinner!"

Looking at the message, Jin Ruanruan imagined what the poster would look like in her mind, and couldn't help but frown her sparse eyebrows.

This seems a bit ambiguous.

If Soo-yeon delivers a coffee truck, then her delivering a food truck already seems a bit unusual.

Adding a poster like that, isn't that tantamount to a declaration of war?

That won't work; she doesn't want to get involved yet.

She shared her thoughts with Kim Tae-yeon.

This time, it took Kim Tae-yeon a few minutes to reply to the message.

[Do you find the poster design ambiguous, or are you overthinking it and interpreting it in a suggestive way? To a normal person, it's just a very simple poster. At most, they'll think you and Xiaoran have a good relationship.]

Jin Ruanruan was taken aback, then pursed her lips, unsure how to retort.

It seems...that's indeed the case...

Upon closer inspection, this poster design is actually quite normal.

It seems that she deliberately interpreted it in an ambiguous direction.

Or rather...

She was deliberately avoiding having more contact with Chen Ran.

Ever since she returned from meeting Kim Tae-yeon at the villa, she has been struggling with the thought that she might fall in love with Chen Ran in the future.

Given that Jessica Jung likes Chen Ran, she has been deliberately avoiding having more contact with him due to various concerns, all in order to prevent the possibility of her liking Chen Ran from happening.

So much so that now even a simple poster is filtered with an ambiguous layer of meaning.

"Adu"

The phone beeped, and Kim Tae-yeon sent another message.

The poster itself is fine; the problem seems to be with you. Are you and Xiaoran already in a flirtatious relationship? Or have you fallen for Xiaoran but are afraid to admit it, avoiding something?

Jin Ruanruan's face showed a look of absurdity, and she quickly replied: How could that be! There's no ambiguity, and there's no liking!

She admitted that she was deliberately avoiding contact with Chen Ran.

But there was absolutely no ambiguity, let alone any affection.

She and Chen Ran are innocent!

Kim Tae-yeon: In that case, do you still think the poster is ambiguous?

Jin Ruanruan pursed her lips, instinctively wanting to say a little.

But to prevent Kim Tae-yeon from saying anything that would confuse her further, she sincerely replied no.

But after thinking about it, she still stubbornly wanted to change something.

"But I think the copy needs to be revised slightly."

Kim Tae-yeon: You say it.

Jin Ruanruan: Change the two characters "Xiao Ran" to "Chen Ran". Xiao Ran does indeed sound a bit ambiguous.

Yes, changing "Xiao Ran" to "Chen Ran" was her last act of defiance.

On the other end of the phone, Kim Tae-yeon looked at the message that popped up in the chat interface and smiled.

I knew you'd avoid contact with Xiaoran. I know you too well.

Since you tend to overthink things, I might as well let you overthink them a little more.

However, the direction of this extra thought should be followed as I guide you.

In crucial moments, I still have to give them a little push.

You don't want to get involved, right? Then we'll just have to gradually and passively drag you into it.

Because one day you will realize that fate, to some extent, is predetermined.

Back to the present.

When Jessica Jung saw Kim Yuen-yeon nod, she understood everything.

Yes, she has Jessica, and Kim Yuen-yeon has Kim Tae-yeon.

only...

Jessica Jung frowned.

Does this mean she's officially joining the competition?

Seeing this, Jin Ruanruan seemed to know what she was thinking and quickly said, "But I just followed her suggestion and sent a food truck. She said everyone sends coffee trucks, so I can send a food truck. I think what she said makes sense, so I sent it."

Although she took Kim Tae-yeon's advice and sent a food truck, she really had no intention of joining the competition.

"oh..."

Jessica Jung understood and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought Jin Ruanruan was suddenly going to join them.

We finally managed to stall Yoona, so we can't let the situation get complicated again.

"click"

The door to the waiting room opened, and Lim Yoona, who had gone to the restroom, walked in with light steps and went straight to Kim Yuen-yeon.

"Unnie, the coffee truck I sent to Chen Ran has arrived."

"Okay."

Jessica Jung paused, stunned, as she listened to their conversation.

"Yoona, you sent a coffee cart to Chen Ran too?"

"yes."

Yoona nodded: "Today is the start of filming for his new drama, so I ordered a coffee truck. After all, we're friends, and he's the screenwriter, so we have to maintain a good relationship."

However, there was one more thing she didn't say.

That is, she planned to give Chen Ran a sweet treat first.

I'll find another opportunity to write some short articles or something.

She had to find a chance to get revenge on Chen Ran for deceiving her.

After hearing what Yoona said, Jessica Jung's initial wariness vanished instantly.

It turned out to be the case.

She knew it! Yoona is such a sensible person, and she's not even that close to Chen Ran, so how could she suddenly have feelings for him?

It was she who thought too much.

"What are you talking about?"

Lee Soon-kyu appeared beside the three of them at some point and asked with a curious expression.

Her beautiful eyes secretly swept over the three of them, then narrowed slightly.

Something's getting increasingly wrong.

Why is Yoona now showing signs of joining these three?

Suddenly, another person squeezed into their world, and the three of them seemed to get along quite well.

So what secret do the three of you share?

Could you let me know too?

Sunny is really curious.

"Oh, Sunny unnie, we were talking about Chen Ran's new drama starting filming."

Yoona smiled and hooked her arm around Sunny's shoulder: "Taeyeon unnie, Jessica unnie, and I each sent a coffee truck."

"I see."

Lee Soon-kyu's eyes widened slightly.

Chen Ran, right?

She finally managed to find a clue.

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something.

"Wait, I think I just saw a news report."

She took out her phone, found the report she had just seen, and opened it.

"Look."

Jessica Jung and the other two gathered around, looking at the report on their phones.

It's a perfectly normal news report about the start of filming for a TV series.

It mentions the story outline of "School 2013" and the main cast and crew.

The comments section below is mostly filled with fans of the various actors.

[Our Jong Suk is so handsome! He looks like a perfect high school boy in a school uniform. I can't wait to watch his new drama!]

[Woo Bin oppa is awesome! He's back to filming a new drama. Looking forward to his new work!]

Krystal is so beautiful! She's like a high school beauty queen! Hurry up and show us her new drama!

Why is our Eunjung still sporting short hair? Is she going to play a tomboy character in the drama too? (doge)

Lee Soon-kyu scrolled down a bit of the comments.

"Besides the comments from fans, there were also some people asking Chen Ran questions."

Wait a minute, who's that guy on the far left in the front row? He's so handsome! Is he some new actor?

[Upstairs, how could a new male actor be standing in the front row? Judging from the introduction above, that seems to be the screenwriter.]

[Huh?! A screenwriter?! Are there really screenwriters this handsome? And they look so young too!]

Wow! This is the kind of look a screenwriter should have! He looks just like my husband!

[@Hu Meijun, Secretary Hu, I need all the information about this screenwriter in three minutes.]

Indeed, there were quite a few people discussing Chen Ran in the comments section, and many were asking for news about him.

However, because Chen Ran is a new screenwriter, there is no trace of him online.

All people know about this screenwriter is that his name is Chen Ran; they know absolutely nothing else.

"Tsk, Chen Ran's face really stands out. Look, someone's already calling him 'husband'."

Lee Soon-kyu put his phone away and made a joke.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Jessica Jung's indignant voice rang out.

"Tch, shameless, all you do is shout nonsense."

Lee Soon-kyu blinked, as if she understood something.

"Why don't you say it yourself? Your sweet little voice would definitely sound better than hers."

"Hey! Lee Soon-kyu!"

"puff"

Im Yoona, who was standing next to her, immediately burst out laughing.

Jin Ruanruan was also smiling, but her smile seemed somewhat unnatural.

For some reason, the thought of her future self liking Chen Ran, coupled with the fact that Kim Tae-yeon had led her to overthink things last night, made her feel strange when she heard this joke.

It's not exactly uncomfortable, but something just feels a little strange.

Lee Soon-kyu ignored Jessica Jung's glare and continued jokingly, "If you don't want to call me that, that's fine. Once Chen Ran becomes famous, plenty of people will be willing to call him that, don't you think, Taeyeon?"

"what?"

Jin Ruanruan was pondering why she had this strange feeling when she was suddenly prompted. She instinctively replied, "May I call out?"

As soon as the words were spoken, Yoona, Jessica, and Soonkyu all paused for a moment, stunned.

Lee Soon-kyu blinked, looking bewildered.

What do you mean? Do you also want to call Chen Ran "husband"?
