Peninsula's first chance encounter during my stay in Dali

"After Unnie finishes her shower, let's interrogate her thoroughly about the details. We must keep a close eye on Unnie!" Giselle instructed her two sisters.

"Yes! That scumbag, if he dares to make Unnie sad again, I don't care what kind of representative he is, I'll still yell at him!" Ningning said.

Dong Dong remained silent, her eyes constantly glancing towards the dining table in the living room. After all, she hadn't had her midnight snack yet, and her stomach was rumbling with hunger.

On the other side, Liu Zhimin, who had finally finished showering and skincare, opened the door to find three round heads staring blankly at her.

"Unnie, if you don't tell us the details today, you're not going to sleep!" Ningning said fiercely.

Liu Zhimin was reluctantly pulled to sit down in the center of the sofa by her younger sisters, and began to talk about what had happened that day.

As soon as Zhou Haoming drove home, he took a shower, because he was sweating and felt sticky and uncomfortable.

After taking a shower, Zhou Haoming found that he was starting to have the same sleep habits as people from the peninsula. He was sleeping less and less, but he was not sleepy and was still very energetic.

Zhou Haoming tried sending a message to his gaming partner, Sakura, and to his surprise, Sakura replied immediately.

"Wait, aren't you an idol? How come you always reply instantly whenever I message you! You're an amazing buddy!"

"Tch, our group's comeback is over. Now all that's left is the year-end stage with Won Young and Yoo Jin, isn't that still a long way off?" Sakura replied. Little did she know that it was because Sakura had changed Zhou Haoming's message notification sound to be different from everyone else's—a clever little trick.

"Still playing Go?"

"Okay, wait until I finish this Overwatch game! I'm coming right away!"

"Wow, you even play Overwatch? Tsk tsk tsk, your title of 'internet addict girl' is really well-deserved."

Sakura remained silent, simply dominating the game in Overwatch and ending the match.

"Okay, I'll log in right away. You set up the room!" Sakura rubbed her slightly swollen wrist.

As soon as she logged in, Zhou Haoming invited her into his room. Upon entering, she heard his voice: "Hello Sakura-chan, how have you been lately? Having fun?"

For some reason, Sakura felt a little like crying when she heard this. She thought about how the group had been preventing her from gaining popularity over the past two years, which had made her, who could have been a strong contender for the top spot among the five girls, now only able to stay at home and pick her toes every day.

This is the first time someone has ever cared so much about whether I'm happy or not.

"I'm doing alright, how about you? How's the new show planning going?" Her voice was choked with emotion.

The observant Zhou Haoming immediately noticed the difference.

"What's wrong? Did someone bully you? Why do I hear you crying?"

"Hey, what's wrong with your ears? I wasn't crying, I just saw a touching video while scrolling through videos, it showed that no one was bullying me!"

Seeing that Xiaoyinghua wouldn't tell him, Zhou Haoming had no choice but to keep it in mind for now and ask someone else later.

"Alright, let's get started. I haven't played in a while, and I feel like I've gotten rusty. You'd better guide me."

  

"Does even the great master Zhou need to be carried now?" Sakura teased.

"Sigh, when you get old, you have to accept it!"

The two then embarked on their GoGo journey. Zhou Haoming hadn't played in a long time and was a complete novice, so he was carried by Sakura.

"Sakura-chan, you're amazing! How can anyone be as good as you, Shikoku?!"

"Hey, why does your Japanese sound like something a colonel would say!"

"Is that all for today? I think it's getting late, it's time for Sakura-chan to go to sleep."

"Okay, that's all for now, goodnight!"

"Good night!"

After shutting down his computer, Zhou Haoming lay on his bed and recalled Xiaoyinghua's experiences in his previous life. The company's excessive suppression of her career caused her, who was originally a strong contender in the top five, to disappear from the public eye. Furthermore, she was later forced to use a stage name by a junior colleague in the company.

Thinking about this, Zhou Haoming was furious. Considering how his gaming partner was being treated, Zhou Haoming didn't mind using his privileges to help his gaming partner.

"I'm going to Hybe tomorrow, I refuse to believe it."

the next day.

At 9:00 AM, Zhou Haoming's alarm clock rang on time.

At 9:30, Zhou Haoming finished dressing and prepared to drive to the Hybe company building.

On the way, Zhou Haoming called Secretary Liu to inform him of his itinerary and asked him to schedule a meeting with Hybe's president, Fang Shihe, at 11:00 AM. He also bought some breakfast for the five members of Seraphim along the way.

Upon arriving at Hybe's building, Zhou Haoming took out his phone and called Jin Caiyuan.

"Hey! Is Sister Caiyuan still sleeping?"

"Oh, I'm not as lazy as you say! I've been practicing dance in the practice room!"

"That's perfect. Come pick me up. I came to your company to talk to your president, Bang Si-hyuk. I came early to see you and brought you some food."

"Honey? Why are you suddenly so nice? It feels weird!"

"Hey, hurry up and get down, why are you asking so many questions!" Zhou Haoming said, annoyed and embarrassed.

Zhou Haoming saw Jin Caiyuan looking around frantically downstairs, seemingly flustered.

"Hey, little leopard! Over here!"

Caiyuan turned around and saw Zhou Haoming sitting leisurely in a chair.

"Hey, I've been looking for you for ages, and you're still sitting here so leisurely??"

Jin Caiyuan immediately questioned Zhou Haoming.

"Oh! I just saw you too! And hurry up and take this, it's so heavy. Lead the way to your practice room!"

Jin Caiyuan glared at him fiercely, took the things, and walked ahead to lead the way.

Arriving at the Seraph's practice room, Jin Caiyuan heard rhythmic beats coming from inside. She burst through the door, shouting, "Kids, I'm back! Zhou Haoming brought you some delicious food, come on in!"

Nakamura Ichiyo, Heo Yoonjin, and Hong Eunchae spotted Joo Ho-ming following behind Kim Chae-won. "Oh my, are unnie and CEO Joo together?" maknae Hong Eunchae asked.

"Hey! What did you say! He just arrived at our company early and brought us some food!"

Sakura, who had just returned from the restroom, saw Zhou Haoming and spoke to him.

"Oh, what brings you here all of a sudden?"

"Hello Sakura Sauce, are you surprised?!" Zhou Haoming made a face.

The six of them sat together eating breakfast. It was the first time Zhou Haoming had been surrounded by so many women, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Xiaoying chuckled softly, stood up, and gestured for the children to take their food to the outdoor table. Zhou Haoming, seeing this, quickly gave Xiaoying a grateful look.

"Sakura-chan, your club president might be looking for you later," Zhou Haoming reminded Sakura.

"What? Why did he want to see me? I haven't been doing anything lately," Sakura asked, looking completely bewildered.

"Hey, can't you think of anything good? Do you think he can only contact you because of something bad? Have faith in yourself, okay?" Zhou Haoming said angrily.
