Peninsula: The idol by the bedside refreshes randomly.

"Nuna, what are those things in the living room?"

Inside the villa, Chen Ran, who was having dinner, glanced at the things in the living room, turned to Kim Tae-yeon, and asked.

"Oh... I bought that for you, Xiaoran, to use for self-defense."

Chen Ran was taken aback: "For self-defense?"

"Yeah, next month will be here soon. I was thinking that if it's not Yoona who gets in touch, but someone else, I should prepare something for self-defense."

Chen Ran paused in his chewing motion.

Indeed, next month will be here soon.

I've been busy with filming and script revisions lately, and I completely forgot about this.

He looked up at Kim Tae-yeon.

"Nuna."

"Um?"

"Even if it's not Yoona next month, I'll definitely find a way to contact you and Jessica." Kim Tae-yeon smiled gently. "I know, I'll wait for your news."

Chen Ran returned a smile, without deliberately mentioning the possibility that the house might not be connected next month, and the three of them might never see each other again, thus ruining the atmosphere.

He believes the house will be connected next month.

After dinner, the two sat down in the living room.

Kim Tae-yeon introduced the things she had bought to Chen Ran.

Looking at the pepper spray, pepper spray, stun gun, and metal baseball bat in front of him, Chen Ran's lips twitched slightly.

He suddenly realized that the house might be connected to a bend next month.

Realizing what was happening, Chen Ran quickly banished the terrifying thoughts from his mind.

This is a peninsula, not Chengdu, so the probability should be very low.

Moreover, the house is unlikely to treat him that way; that possibility is negligible.

"Nuna, isn't this a bit of an exaggeration?"

"Really? I think these are all normal, and they all seem quite useful. Anyway, Xiaoran, you must put all these things in the bedroom the night the house is reconnected." "Okay."

These are all gifts from Kim Tae-yeon, though she probably won't need them.

After putting these things back into the box, Chen Ran thought of something else.

"Noona, did you tell Yoona about the possibility of contacting her next month?"

Kim Tae-yeon nodded: "Yes, I did. This afternoon, Jessica and I invited Yoona to our house and talked to her about it."

"Okay, that's fine then."

Since everything was agreed upon in advance, if the house really is connected to Im Yoona, some awkward situations can be avoided.

For example, physical contact.

At least Yoona definitely wouldn't wear lace pajamas that night.

"Hmm...but it's just..."

Kim Tae-yeon glanced at Chen Ran: "Jessica and I didn't tell Yoona about where you put your hands when you sleep, so you might have to be careful. It's best to set an alarm or something to wake up before Yoona so she doesn't find out."

"Ahem... I understand, Nuna." Upon hearing this, Chen Ran's expression became somewhat unnatural.

This is something we really need to pay attention to.

There are some things that Kim Tae-yeon and Jessica can do, but Lim Yoon-a absolutely cannot.

He always felt that Lim Yoona was a very vengeful person.

Maybe because of his past deception of Yoona for 12 years, she's already made a mental note of it.

If it really happens to be Yoona next month, it would be better to treat her with respect and keep my distance.

"Adu"

A message notification tone suddenly sounded.

Chen Ran reached out and picked up his phone, which was lying to the side.

It's Jin Ruanruan.

[Chen Ran, will you be home tomorrow morning? Could you open the door for me? I need to talk to Kim Tae-yeon about something.]

"Whose message is this?" Kim Tae-yeon asked curiously from beside him. Chen Ran immediately turned the phone towards her.

Upon seeing the message, Kim Tae-yeon raised an eyebrow and then smiled:

"Xiao Ran, you can have her come. I don't have anything to do tomorrow."

"it is good."

Chen Ran nodded and replied to the message.

[I'll be home until 9 AM tomorrow, noona. Taeyeon noona will be home too, so you can just come over.]

Jin Ruanruan quickly replied: Okay, I will arrive before nine o'clock.

Chen Ran put down his phone, and Kim Tae-yeon, who was standing next to him, said, "Xiao Ran, go take a shower. I'll tidy up these things."

"it is good."

Watching Chen Ran go up to the second floor, Kim Tae-yeon withdrew her gaze, a thoughtful expression on her face.

Jin Ruanruan has something she wants to talk to me about.

A moment later, as if remembering something, Kim Tae-yeon's lips curled into a slight, enigmatic smile. Please remember the only official website address for this novel: www.deqixs.org. This is the only website; other websites may be discontinued at any time.

Let's chat, as long as we can understand each other.

---

Meanwhile, on the other side, in Girls' Generation's dormitory.

Jin Ruanruan, who had arranged a time with Chen Ran, put down her phone, a thoughtful expression on her face.

In the afternoon, Jessica Jung suddenly told her that the month was almost up and the house should be reconnected in a couple of days.

It's uncertain who will be connected next month, or whether the connection will even exist.

Upon hearing this news, Jin Ruanruan's first reaction was:

That means that Kim Tae-yeon is no longer here, and I basically won't have to go to Chen Ran's house anymore.

This also means that I won't have to have much contact with Chen Ran anymore.

The problem that I had been worried about—the potential conflict with Jessica Jung—has now been resolved.

But...should I tell Kim Tae-yeon about my decision? After all, she's leaving soon.

Moreover, her decision to avoid Chen Ran and no longer like him as originally planned will more or less affect Kim Tae-yeon, right?

I should tell her about it, and ask her about the future and if there's anything else I should be aware of.

After agonizing over this for a long time, Jin Ruanruan finally decided to contact Chen Ran and prepare to meet with Kim Tae-yeon the next morning to have a chat.

She's only free tomorrow morning; the next time she'll be free won't be until next month.

By then, Kim Tae-yeon had already left.

After a while, Jin Ruanruan refocused her eyes and let out a soft sigh of relief.

I'll go talk to Kim Tae-yeon tomorrow and tell her my thoughts and decisions, so I can put my mind at ease.

Jin Ruanruan picked up her phone, checked the time, set an alarm for early morning, and lay down on the bed.

I closed my eyes, thinking I should go to sleep early, but my mind was a jumble of thoughts. I don't know how much time passed before I finally drifted off to sleep.

When I regained consciousness, I was awakened by the alarm clock.

Jin Ruanruan quickly turned off the alarm clock and sat up in bed. Li Shungui had gone home yesterday, so she was alone in the room, which avoided anyone discovering that she had gotten up early.

She got out of bed, slipped her delicate white feet into slippers, and opened the door with a yawn.

Just as I was about to go into the bathroom to wash up, the bathroom door opened first.

Jessica Jung squinted as she came out from inside. When she saw Kim Yuen-yeon at the door, she suddenly opened her eyes and her consciousness instantly became clearer.

"Taeyeon..."

Jin Ruanruan never expected to run into the person she least wanted to see.

She smiled somewhat awkwardly.

"Oh... Good morning, Soo-yeon."

"Weren't you supposed to be off work this morning? Why are you up so early?"

"Um, I made an appointment with Chen Ran last night to go to his house today to talk to Kim Tae-yeon about some things. Didn't we say she wouldn't be here in a couple of days?"

Jin Ruanruan had no intention of hiding this matter.

If Jessica Jung finds out, it will only deepen the misunderstanding and wouldn't be good. She and Chen Ran are completely innocent; she only went to his house to see Kim Tae-yeon and had absolutely no intention of sneaking into his house.

"Oh...okay...go ahead then."

Jessica Jung's eyes flickered slightly, she nodded, and turned to go back to her room first.

Jin Ruanruan watched the door close, subconsciously letting out a slight sigh of relief before going into the bathroom to wash up.

In the closed room, Jessica Jung returned to bed, but she was wide awake.

Jin Ruanruan is going to Chen Ran's house.

She wouldn't do anything with Chen Ran, would she?

Thinking about this, she felt an urge to go with Jin Ruanruan.

but...

Jin Ruanruan has already made it very clear that she went to talk to Jin Taeyeon about something, and she didn't hide it from me.

If I suggest going together at this point, wouldn't that be a clear indication that I don't trust her and am afraid that something might happen between her and Chen Ran?

Jessica Jung pursed her lips. She wasn't afraid of Kim Yuen-yeon at all.

Furthermore, Krystal Jung said last night that she was going to the film set to film this morning, which means that Chen Ran is also going to the film set this morning.

In other words, Chen Ran only opened the door for Jin Ruanruan; the two did not have a chance to be alone together.

Thinking of this, Jessica Jung's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, eased a little, and she lay down completely on the bed.

But hearing the faint sound of water outside the door, my heart still couldn't be completely at peace.

It wasn't until the sound of the dormitory door opening and closing again that Jessica Jung completely gave up the idea of ​​going with them.

Forget it, let's be magnanimous. Anyway, there's no chance between these two.

Jin Ruanruan drove towards Chen Ran's house.

A dozen minutes later, the car arrived at the villa.

Jin Ruanruan got out of the car and walked to the front door. She took a deep breath before pressing the doorbell.

The door opened quickly, and Chen Ran appeared before her with a smile.

"Nuna." "Chen Ran, sorry to bother you."

"Don't bother me, Nuna, you can go in now. I'm heading to the film set anyway."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

"Um."

Chen Ran and Jin Ruanruan went in and out.

As they passed each other, Jin Ruanruan suddenly smelled a very pleasant scent of sandalwood.

Her eyes flickered slightly, and she subconsciously turned to look at Chen Ran's back before closing the door, changing her shoes, and going inside.

Kim Tae-yeon was still eating in the restaurant when she saw her come in and greeted her naturally.

"You're here! Have you had breakfast? Would you like to sit down and have something to eat with us?"

"No need, I won't eat it."

"Oh, okay, shall we eat and chat?"

"Okay." Jin Ruanruan thought for a moment and nodded.

She sat down opposite Kim Tae-yeon, and just as she was about to speak, she suddenly noticed that Kim Tae-yeon seemed to be in a different state than when they last met.

Her face has become noticeably fuller, and her complexion is very rosy; she no longer has that weak and feeble look she had before.

Watching her eat the congee with preserved egg and lean pork in front of her, Jin Ruanruan subconsciously asked:

"Aren't you afraid of gaining weight if you eat like that?"

Kim Tae-yeon paused in her porridge-drinking motion, looked up at her, and smiled:

"Don't worry, I'm not at my peak like you are now, so some things don't matter to me anymore."

"Most importantly, Xiaoran likes me to be a little chubby. She thinks I was too thin before and it wasn't healthy, so I've been eating more lately."

"How do I look? Do I have a bit more fat on my face now, and do I look healthier overall?"

Jin Ruanruan looked into her bright eyes and nodded silently.

But in his mind, he was thinking about what Kim Tae-yeon had just said.

Because Chen Ran liked her to be a little chubby, she started eating more, but not because she wanted to be chubby herself. It seems she really likes Chen Ran.

Will my future self like Chen Ran that much?
