Peninsula: The idol by the bedside refreshes randomly.

"Cut, this one's passed."

After watching the footage they had just filmed, Lee Eung-bok and Chen Ran, members of the "School 2013" crew, nodded in satisfaction.

"Take a break, we'll move on to the next scene soon."

Chen Ran looked down at the script in his hand, pondered for a moment, and wrote down some ideas for revision in the blank space next to him.

After the last online controversy, Chen Ran has been thinking about how to further improve the quality of the drama "School 2013".

In addition, the news of Kim Eun-sook and Jessica Jung visiting the set a couple of days ago has brought another wave of attention to the production team.

These past few days, he has been revising the script while filming.

To improve the quality of a script, the best approach is to selectively expand some plot points to increase the script's depth, and then selectively delete some meaningless scenes.

For example, the screen time of several supporting characters in the drama could be appropriately increased.

A self-conscious girl who loves to draw, a rich girl with a people-pleasing personality, a student who buries herself in her studies because she is weak in one subject...

These are reflections of a large segment of the population in reality, making it easy for the audience to resonate with them.

Chen Ran also cut some meaningless romantic scenes between men and women, shifting the focus to the innocent and confused feelings of high school students. This would prolong the story, extend the filming period, and increase costs.

However, after Chen Ran showed the revised script to Yin Helin and shared his thoughts, Yin Helin was very satisfied and expressed his support, telling him to follow his ideas.

After Chen Ran communicated with Li Yingfu, Li Yingfu also said there was no problem. So in the past few days, the actors in the entire crew have been receiving revised scripts frequently.

The cast and crew were all very happy to see the new script, especially the supporting actors who originally had fewer scenes.

The screenwriter actually gave them more screen time.

And it's not just a sentence or two, but a complete character storyline.

As Chen Ran was writing down his thoughts and raising his pen, a voice rang in his ears.

"Screenwriter."

Chen Ran looked up.

It's Jang Nara, the female lead in this drama.

At this moment, she had a sweet smile on her doll-like face, and she was less than a fist's distance away from Chen Ran. Chen Ran could clearly smell the orange scent on her body.

Chen Ran silently pulled them back to a more intimate distance. "Nara-xi, is something wrong?"

Jang Nara's eyes flickered for a moment, but her smile remained sweet.

"Oh, it's this scene below. I'm a little unsure about the character's psychology, so I'd like to ask you to explain it to me."

"it is good."

"Thank you, screenwriter."

The two sat on folding chairs explaining, while not far away, Krystal Jung watched them talk, her eyes slightly narrowed.

Here we go again, this senior is going to see Chen Ran again.

This was the fifth time she had seen it in the past two days.

Her intuition told her that this senior colleague had some kind of purpose.

Krystal Jung frowned.

This situation seems to have occurred after the day that teacher Kim Eun-sook and her unnie (older sister) came to visit the set.

Suddenly, she raised an eyebrow. It seemed the first person she had deliberately approached had appeared.

Having figured everything out, Krystal Jung's gaze towards Jang Nara turned somewhat unfriendly.

Chen Ran is the man their family has reserved; how could they allow an outsider to touch him?

Moreover, you were born in 81, nine years older than Chen Ran. Although you look young, the age difference is still there.

An old ox eating young grass, what a beautiful dream.

We need to find a way to stop it.

Remembering her unnie's instructions, Krystal Jung was like an imperial envoy holding a sword of authority, ready to draw it.

She thought for a moment, her gaze sweeping over the script beside her, and the corners of her mouth quickly turned up slightly.

We're discussing the script, right?

I can do that too.

Krystal Jung picked up the script beside her and got up, preparing to walk towards Chen Ran.

Just then, a commotion came from the entrance of the film set, and a support coffee truck slowly drove in. A poster of hers was hanging on the coffee truck.

Wishing our Krystal a smooth shoot, and may there be no NGs! — Sulli

Beside the coffee cart, a tall figure walked slowly forward, a sweet smile on her face, politely greeting each staff member she encountered along the way.

It's Choi Jin-ri.

Krystal Jung's eyes widened slightly.

Why did Shirley suddenly come?

"Hehe~ Krystal, I've come to see you~"

Choi Jin-ri walked over, smiling, and put her arm around Jung Soo-jung's arm, but her beautiful eyes unconsciously glanced to the side.

"Why did you suddenly come?" Jung Soo-jung asked suspiciously.

"Hehe~ I told you before that I would come to visit you on set. It just so happens that my crew has a day off today, so I came to see you instead."

As Choi Jin-ri spoke, her eyes glanced in another direction.

Seeing this, Krystal Jung refrained from rolling her eyes. Please remember the only official website address for this novel: www.deqixs.org. The website owner has only this one website; other websites may be discontinued at any time.

Did you come to see me?

Could you at least try to hide your true feelings before saying that?

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming to visit the set?"

Judging from the timing of their arrival and Li Yingfu's reaction, it's clear that prior notice had been given.

"Oh...I...I already told oppa yesterday, but you weren't in the dorm yesterday, so I forgot to tell you."

Choi Jin-ri blinked rapidly, her fingers unconsciously fidgeting with the seam of her jeans.

Krystal Jung couldn't help but secretly roll her eyes.

You've even found a reason to chat with Chen Ran.

Sure enough, I unknowingly became part of your two-person game.

"By the way, where's oppa?" Choi Jin-ri finally couldn't help but ask.

"Look, it's over there." Jung Soo-jung glanced at Chen Ran's location. Choi Jin-ri immediately looked in that direction, and her expression froze.

She only saw half of Chen Ran's profile.

The rest of his figure was blocked by Jang Nara in front of him.

No wonder I didn't see oppa earlier, he was being blocked by someone.

but...

Choi Jin-ri quickly frowned.

Why does Jang Nara look at oppa with such a strange gaze?

And why is she laughing so happily? Are she and oppa very close?

Beside her, Jung Soo-jung noticed Choi Jin-ri's expression, then glanced at Chen Ran, her eyes suddenly darting around.

"Aren't you going to say hello to oppa?"

She looked at Chen Ran, a strange smile appearing in her eyes.

Choi Jin-ri pursed her lips. "Oppa is chatting with someone. Would it be inappropriate for me to suddenly go over and disturb him?"

"They weren't chatting, they were just talking about the script, but..."

Krystal Jung paused, then suddenly leaned close to Jin-ri's ear and whispered:

"However, I feel that Jang Nara is acting a bit strange. She's been contacting oppa a lot more often these past few days, and every time it's to talk about the script, but it doesn't seem like there's that much content in the script to discuss."

Choi Jin-ri's eyes flickered.

After a moment, she said, "I'll go say hello to oppa."

Krystal Jung nodded: "Okay, go ahead."

Choi Jin-ri walked towards Chen Ran.

Behind her, Krystal Jung watched her retreating figure, her smile deepening.

Tsk, this is great, I don't even have to lift a finger, and I can even watch the show.

Shirley's timing was better than her early arrival.

In China, what's this called again? I think V-Mom mentioned it before... Oh... using someone else to do the dirty work.

Yes, it's about using someone else to do the dirty work.

Krystal Jung leisurely sat back down, switching her role to that of a bystander.

---

"Do you think... Chen Ran won't be bothered by anyone on set?"

Inside the villa, Jessica, who was sprawled on the living room sofa scrolling through her phone, suddenly spoke up.

Kim Tae-yeon, who was watching TV next to her, paused in her munching on potato chips and glanced at her sideways.

"You don't trust Xiaoran at all? Besides, isn't Xiujing watching over her? Didn't you already tell Xiuyan about that?"

"Of course I believe Chen Ran, but I'm worried that he's too young and might be misled by people with ulterior motives."

"Don't overthink it, Xiaoran is very smart."

"That's true."

Jessica muttered something, glancing at Kim Tae-yeon and the potato chips in her hand. "Why have you been eating so many potato chips lately? I've never seen you like them this much before. Aren't you afraid of gaining weight?"

Without turning her head, Kim Tae-yeon said, "Xiao Ran said I'm too thin, so I'm gaining weight."

"Gaining weight..."

Jessica glanced at her cheeks, which had indeed become a little chubby, her eyes unconsciously sweeping over a certain spot, and the corners of her mouth suddenly turned up slightly.

"Could it be that Chen Ran thinks you're too young, but doesn't want to hurt you, so he changed his approach? That place..."

She paused for a moment, then said, "You can't grow up just by gaining weight; you're already past that age."

Kim Tae-yeon paused in her action of picking up potato chips and slowly turned her head.

He didn't say anything, just quietly watched her.

"cough..."

Jessica felt a little uneasy under his gaze, and couldn't help but cough lightly and sit up straight.

"Stop joking, let's get down to business. It'll be next month in three days. What are your thoughts?"

Kim Tae-yeon looked away and continued watching TV. "Based on Krystal's previous predictions, Yoona is the most likely candidate next month, so I've already prepared Yoona mentally."

"That..."

Jessica pursed her lips: "What if the houses stop connecting?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the living room froze.

Kim Tae-yeon's eyes darkened slightly, and after a long while, she said:

"Then I can only say that fate is fickle, but... I have no regrets about having the opportunity to see Xiaoran again and even live with him for a month."

Jessica pursed her lips upon hearing this.

No regrets?

If the house really isn't connected next month, you'll be heartbroken.

The past has been made up for, but new regrets have arisen.

She will most likely revert to being the same melancholic Kim Tae-yeon.

Humans are always greedy. Once they have the opportunity to make up for their regrets, they want to keep having it.

"Besides... the worst outcome is that the houses aren't connected. Even if it's not Yoona, as long as it's someone from 2025, it's a good outcome for us. Xiaoran will definitely find a way to contact us."

Kim Tae-yeon then spoke again.

"Indeed, but I still prefer someone I know, so it will be easier for them to come into the house later."

Kim Tae-yeon glanced at her: "Then why don't you pray that the person you connect with next month is Krystal? That way, it'll be like you're the owner of the house too."

"No!"

Jessica sat up straight instantly: "We can't include Krystal!"

The moment this was mentioned, an image flashed into her mind of Chen Ran and Krystal waking up in the same bed one morning and sharing a pillow.

Krystal has a bad sleeping posture and tends to move around a lot while sleeping at night.

If she accidentally ended up in Chen Ran's arms, with his chest muscles so comfortable, she would definitely just continue sleeping.

Chen Ran also developed a habit with Kim Tae-yeon: when sleeping at night, he liked to keep his hands in the same position.

If Krystal were the person next to her... Just thinking about that scene made Jessica feel a slight tingling sensation, like an electric current flowing through her body, and even her heart felt a faint thrill.

She snapped back to reality and quickly banished the images that had crossed her mind.

No, no, the house absolutely cannot be connected to Soojung!

"No, the house isn't connected to Soojung's."

"Tch, as if you're the one who gets to decide." Kim Tae-yeon muttered under her breath.

Actually, she really wanted to see the house connected to Krystal.

The two sisters on the opposing lane are so interesting.

However, she couldn't possibly bring up this topic in front of Jessica, who was a die-hard sister-obsessed girl.

It would be bad if the conversation went too far.

"So it's better to connect with Yoona."

"Of course, Yoona is one of us. Whether it's Chen Ran asking her to contact us or us moving into the house later, it will be very convenient."

Jessica responded and looked at Kim Tae-yeon. "If it really is Yoona next month, what are you going to do? Will you just move in?"

"How could that be? We need to give Yoona her personal space. If I move in, wouldn't Yoona become a third wheel?"

"What if Yoona moves out and the house disappears?"

"That's what I think too, but aren't you afraid something might happen when Yoona and Chen Ran live together?"

Kim Tae-yeon glanced at her sideways upon hearing this.

Before you ask this question, you should ask yourself what you think first.

Jessica paused, speechless.

The two tacitly skipped the topic, and the living room fell silent again.

After a moment, Jessica seemed to remember something and said to Kim Tae-yeon:

"By the way, did you talk to Yoona about... um... Chen Ran's sleeping habits at night?"

Kim Tae-yeon was taken aback, realizing that Jessica was referring to Chen Ran's habit of placing his hand on the chest of the person next to him while sleeping at night.

"I didn't say anything. Go ahead and say it if you want." "I'm not saying anything. If I do, who knows what tricks Yoona might come up with to deal with Chen Ran? What if something unexpected happens? We don't even know if it will affect the house's connection."

"and..."

Jessica said, glancing down at the screen.

"Yoona's area is so small, maybe Chen Ran wouldn't feel anything when he put his hand there, and he would just take his hand away before Yoona wakes up, then Yoona wouldn't know."

"Or perhaps, Yoona herself won't feel much, as long as Chen Ran wakes up before her."

Kim Tae-yeon opened her mouth upon hearing this.

"If Yoona hears you say that, you'll be remembered for the rest of your life."

Thank goodness, I'm still better than Yoona.

It's not just a little bit stronger.

Jessica laughed it off.

"Yoona isn't here, otherwise I wouldn't have said anything."

"Achoo, achoo!"

Meanwhile, on the other side of Seoul, Yoona, who was resting backstage at an event, suddenly sneezed twice.

"That's strange, I have a feeling someone is talking bad about me again."

She frowned, rubbed her nose, then moved her hand down to her chest, twitched it slightly, and murmured:

"Why does it still feel so loose? I've padded it quite a bit..."
