Peninsula's first chance encounter during my stay in Dali

Hearing Liu Zhimin's words, Zhou Haoming sat down on the sofa in the practice room, crossed his legs, and replied, "What's wrong? Did you call me here just for this?"

"Are you insecure about your own abilities and afraid you can't interpret my song well, or do you have doubts about my song?"

"No one questioned it, and we also thought it was bound to be a huge hit, but is it really worth risking your career for this one song?" Liu Zhimin continued to ask.

"If you're confident, I'm confident too. Why wouldn't I gamble with a 100% win rate? Only a fool wouldn't gamble!" Zhou Haoming analyzed slowly and methodically.

"With my song, your performance and interpretation, plus Kakao's promotion, I really can't see why it wouldn't be a hit!"

"But!" "Alright! Stop talking. I have my own considerations when I do things. As artists, what you should be thinking about now is how to perfectly interpret the definition of this song!" Zhou Haoming rudely interrupted Liu Zhimin.

Just as he was about to get serious, he looked up and saw that Liu Zhimin's eyes were already glistening with tears because he had been rudely interrupted while he was speaking, and he couldn't be serious at all.

But considering their current relationship, Zhou Haoming could only suppress his heartache and pretend to be tough, saying, "I hope you can think about how to better express this song, instead of just gossiping all day long. I also don't want the song I wrote to end up not being expressed in the way it should be."

The other three members of aespa lowered their heads and were being scolded, but Liu Zhimin stubbornly raised his head and looked at Zhou Haoming.

She had just realized from Zhou Haoming's subtle actions that he still had feelings for her. Since that was the case, what was mine, I must take back!

Zhou Haoming stole a glance and saw a blazing fire burning in Liu Zhimin's eyes. He assumed it was his words that had inspired them, and thought to himself with smug satisfaction, "I really am suited to be a leader. I can ignite their fighting spirit in just two games. Amazing!"

"Ahem! Alright, aren't you guys supposed to be recording a song? Let's go, I'll go check on you." Zhou Haoming then led the way out of the practice room.

The group arrived at the elevator entrance and waited for the elevator. Once inside, the three of them huddled together, leaving Liu Zhimin and Zhou Haoming standing alone to the side.

Zhou Haoming was helpless at the sight. "Hey, what are you guys doing? Are you ostracizing me and your captain?"

"Yes!" the three said in unison.

The group stepped out of the elevator and into the recording studio. The SM producer was already prepared, but Zhou Haoming had only copied it verbatim in his previous life. He had never seen this equipment before!

Seeing that Zhou Haoming was not sitting down for a long time, the SM producer next to him also became nervous. Could it be that this representative thought the equipment was not good enough?

At this moment, Zhou Haoming realized that he had gone too far in showing off and started brainstorming solutions. Liu Zhimin, who was standing to the side, spoke up to defuse the situation, saying, "Maybe Representative Min wants to stand and listen to our singing first. Let's go in and sing a song for the Representative to see how it goes." After saying that, he was the first to go in.

Zhou Haoming, who was unfamiliar with the place but not the people, snapped out of his panic when he saw Liu Zhimin, who was in charge of importing the audio, produce the bubbly sound.

Since I didn't understand any technical terms, I decided to offer my evaluation from the perspective of an audience member. Once I figured that out, I sat down in the head seat without any pressure.

After the four girls finished their performances, an SM producer asked Zhou Haoming how he felt.

"Yes, very good. Jimin's introduction was excellent, Ningning and Dongtian's high notes were very stable, and Gisele's rap was also very good." Zhou Haoming's strategy was to praise everyone one by one. Anyway, that's it.

  

"Alright, let's stop recording here for now. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now." Zhou Haoming said, getting up to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Zhou Haoming, who was about to take the elevator, stopped and turned to look at Liu Zhimin who had chased after him.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Haoming asked with concern, looking at Liu Zhimin, who was panting heavily.

"Come with me, I have something to tell you!" After saying that, she pulled Zhou Haoming into the stairwell.

The two arrived at the stairwell, and Zhou Haoming stared at Liu Zhimin with a puzzled look, wondering what she wanted to say to him.

"Zhou Haoming, I still love you, I love you so much that I think about you every single moment!" Liu Zhimin looked up at Zhou Haoming.

This completely baffled Zhou Haoming. "Mo, do you know what you're saying?"

"I know I've thought a lot since we broke up, and I've realized that the more I try to forget you and hate you, the more unforgettable you become!"

"Only now am I facing my true feelings. I still love you!" she said, hugging Zhou Haoming and crying. "I've been trying so hard to numb myself with work, trying to forget you, but do you know how many memories you've left me with? My solo songs, the group's comeback song, and all the little things we shared—I can't bear to let go of any of them!"

At first, Zhou Haoming was at a loss as to where to put his hands, but after hearing what Liu Zhimin said, he gently patted her back to soothe her emotions.

"Jimin, but it's over between us. I'm with Nuna now, you know that?" Zhou Haoming calmly stated this cruel truth.

"You were the one who pursued me last time, this time it's my turn to pursue you!" Liu Zhimin looked up at Zhou Haoming.

Zhou Haoming was stunned by Liu Zhimin's words. What did he mean by "you come and pursue me"? Just as he was still in a daze...

When he felt a wet touch on his lips, Zhou Haoming realized that Liu Zhimin had already stood on tiptoe and kissed him forcefully.

Good heavens, how come Zhou Haoming, a dignified eight-foot-tall man, is being forcibly kissed every day?

While the two were kissing passionately, the three sisters in the recording studio were waiting for their unnie's good news. "Unnie should be fine, right? After all, she has such a great figure!" the little one said enviously.

"I believe in unnie." Ningning, on the other hand, had a look of amused enjoyment on her face.

"Trust Gisele, this is her home turf!" Gisele said. After all, she was the mastermind behind the plan.

Zhou Haoming was drinking milk in the stairwell; it seems men really do like milk.

"Oppa!" Yoo Ji-min's face flushed.

Seeing this, Zhou Haoming couldn't continue drinking his milk, so he scratched his head and said, "Hey Jimin, sorry, I got carried away."

Liu Zhimin looked at Zhou Haoming with a shy expression, then put away her weapon.

"Let's go, I should head back too!" Zhou Haoming suggested.

"Okay!" Liu Zhimin lowered his head and let Zhou Haoming lead him out the door.

After dropping Liu Zhimin off at the recording studio, Zhou Haoming said apologetically, "Then Zhimin, I'll be going now."

"Oppa, be careful on the road!" Yoo Ji-min replied, bowing his head.

Zhou Haoming then took the elevator downstairs.

Liu Zhimin pushed open the door, but the producer had already left, leaving only the three sisters to see Liu Zhimin return.

"Unnie, how did it go? Did you win her over?" Kim Dong-won asked with a curious look.

"Yes!" Liu Zhimin said, bowing her head and blushing.

"I told you so!" Giselle, the project's creator, said confidently.

On the other side, Zhou Haoming, who had just gotten into the car, gently patted his handsome face. "Damn it, how come I have no self-control!" He then thought of comparing Liu Zhimin's arsenal with Lin Yun'er's arsenal.

It's not entirely his fault; the other side had more advanced weapons.
