Peninsula: 72 Hours of Blind Dates

It's even more exciting than falling in love.

To Xue Lun'e, Han Xijun was an angel.

It is an honor to await the arrival of angels.

Dormitory building lobby.

Behind the access control.

Wu Haiyuan did not understand why Xue Lun'e wanted to "hide".

After the agent dropped them off at their dorm, they had already driven away. If other residents in the same building saw them sneaking around behind the access control, they might get a fright or be mistaken for weirdos or lunatics.

Wu Haiyuan tried to persuade her, but Xue Lun'e didn't listen at all.

She just kept staring at the roadside by the door, occasionally asking Wu Haiyuan, "Hasn't brother-in-law arrived yet? When will he be here? Didn't you say a few minutes? Unnie, haven't a few minutes passed yet?"

Wu Haiyuan was very patient.

The main reason is that it's the first time I've seen Xue Lun'e so "different".

Xue Lun'e's state at this moment cannot be simply described as excitement; it must be described with adjectives such as thrill, anticipation, and eagerness. It was perhaps the first time in her life that Xue Lun'e had felt such an urgent desire to see a man, or rather, a need for one.

Is it really that important that Wu Haiyuan doesn't understand games?

Although she wasn't interested in games and didn't know how to play LoL, she did know that Faker was a very famous player with many fans. It's no exaggeration to say that in South Korea, regardless of industry or whether they were students or children, almost everyone knew Faker, just like everyone knew BTS.

The car headlights flickered.

Xue Lun'e asked again, "Unnie, unnie, is my brother-in-law here?"

"Crunch"

Wu Haiyuan pressed the access control switch directly.

The glass door unlocks.

Wu Haiyuan flung open the door and said, "Why don't you move it out and take a look?"

"I'm nervous, unnie."

"So what are you so nervous about? Faker isn't going to get out of his car."

"Yeah, I know." "You've seen Han Xijun before."

"It's different, unnie."

Wu Haiyuan sighed.

What could be different?

Han Xijun in a polo shirt and overalls, Han Xijun in a white shirt, suit, and tie—it's the same face. What kind of magic can he pull off?

A white Volvo SUV was parked in the open-air parking space in front of the apartment building.

Han Xijun, wearing a gray polo shirt, got out of the driver's seat.

Han Xijun saw Wu Haiyuan before parking, but instead of calling out to him, he lifted the bag he was carrying.

in the past.

Like the other members, Xue Lun'e only cared about the bag Han Xijun was carrying, guessing what kind of food was inside.

Han Xijun walked to the apartment door carrying the bag, and the first thing he said was, "Lilyxi told me you wanted to eat hagfish tonight, so I went to Xincun before coming and got a six-person serving."

Wu Haiyuan said, "I didn't really want to eat it. Did you buy enough for six people? That must have cost a lot of money." Han Xijun shrugged and said smugly, "I have plenty of money. You don't want any gifts, and I'm afraid you'll scold me if I buy you one. I got my bonus yesterday. What do you think about buying a house as a real estate investment? I'm not interested in stocks or cryptocurrencies."

Wu Haiyuan said, "Don't ask me. I don't really know how to manage your money."

"Unnie, brother-in-law, are you finished talking?"

Xue Lun'e has always been there.

However, neither Han Xijun nor Wu Haiyuan truly "ignored" Xue Lun'e's presence during the conversation.

Xue Lun'e stepped forward from the corner of the access control area, staring intently at Han Xijun in front of her.

His gaze was too intense.

This forced Han Xijun to look to Wu Haiyuan for help.

Wu Haiyuan explained, "She went crazy because of LoL and Faker. She just happened to see the news when you called Lily."

"Yeah?"

"But why did you call Lily unnie?"

Han Xijun said, "I'm afraid you'll sit in the passenger seat." Wu Haiyuan immediately understood.

She usually sits in the passenger seat most of the time, which is a privilege of the group leader. It's like the company's rule that the group leader can stay in a room by themselves during overseas activities. It's a way of making up for the sacrifices she makes as the leader.

Xue Lun'e waved her hand and said, "Unnie, brother-in-law, I'm here. Whether you call Lily Unnie or anyone else, the most important thing is that brother-in-law is calling for me, right brother-in-law?"

Han Xijun smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right. I immediately thought of you after I learned about an offline gaming event with SK and the upstream cooperative. Wu Baiyuan said you really like playing games. You play LoL too, right?"

"Brother-in-law, you're not just good at having fun, I really am... never mind, let's go upstairs first, brother-in-law, go to your dorm first, I'll show you."

"Okay, let's go upstairs."

In the elevator, Xue Lun'e cautiously asked, "Brother-in-law, is that offline event by invitation only? Are there fans who can participate?"

Han Xijun answered honestly, "I don't know either, I didn't ask."

"Can I ask? I saw in the news that it's at the training base, but what if it's by invitation only, meaning some lucky fans can be invited to participate? I feel very lucky to be able to join nmixx, to meet Hae-won unnie, and to meet my brother-in-law. What do you think, brother-in-law? Aren't I very lucky?"

Han Xijun could easily understand.

Wu Haiyuan said speechlessly, "Wow, this is really the first time I've seen Xue Lun'e like this. Cheer up! Although I'm not asking you to be Xue Yun forever, you can't become a stranger like Xue Lun'e."

Han Xijun chimed in, "I'll ask tomorrow. If I can invite people, I'll let you know, but you might not have time."

Without a second's hesitation, Xue Lun'e shouted, "Yes!"

Ding

The elevator has arrived.

Xue Lun'e stepped out of the elevator first, and then waited for Han Xijun to come out at the elevator door with an exaggerated gesture of invitation.

Wu Haiyuan raised his hand to cover his forehead.

Han Xijun was amused.

nmixx isn't just known for Wu Haiyuan's ability to make people laugh; the other members can too.

"Don't exaggerate like that."

"Is that an exaggeration? I didn't even lay out a red carpet."

Wu Haiyuan called out "Xueyun," trying to make Xue Lun'e transform into the aloof Xueyun.

Unfortunately, it didn't work. Xue Lun'e led the way, still remembering to tell Han Xijun, "I've thought of a reason. I'll ask the company for leave and say I have something to do at home. I'll try to make a round trip between Daejeon and Seoul in one day. Don't worry, brother-in-law, I'll be fully disguised and won't be exposed. It's just that if I have the opportunity to meet Faker alone..."

"Brother-in-law, the training base also has many training rooms and rest rooms. Before the competition, there should be a waiting room to rest and adjust, just like when we participate in music shows or record other programs."

"I can be my brother-in-law's agent. I'll do a great job. I'll take good care of him and even prepare some cookies to bring with me."

"Brother-in-law, trust me, I won't do anything to put you in a difficult position. If there's really no chance for a photo, but if I could get an autograph, or a signed training jersey, do you think that's possible?"
