Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 441 Are We Really Just Friends?

"Xuan He told me on the phone before that he thinks you have great potential and he must choose you."

Kim Sang-seop smiled carefreely and was quite satisfied with Zhao Meiyan in front of him.

Her acting is just passable, but being a second female lead is no big deal, as long as she's not too stiff. The threshold for acting is not as high as the public imagines.

Hearing this, Zhao Meiyan felt something was strange in her heart, but she smiled happily and spoke very energetically.

"Thank you Director Nim, I feel okay again."

"Of course, Miyeon is just great."

After exchanging a few words with the director, Zhao Meiyan went to see the screenwriter Jin Zhiyun with a positive attitude.

"Writer-nim, thank you for your care."

Her attitude was very positive. It was her first time to join such a crew seriously, and she was very excited.

"Don't be so polite. You performed very well. The role was not chosen wrongly."

Jin Zhiyun looked at Zhao Meiyan in front of him with a very kind attitude. Zhao Meiyan was of course unaware of what he was thinking.

Zhao Meiyan was a relative who was inserted in the drama. This drama was adapted from a comic, so she did not have much say. In her opinion, the Zhao Meiyan in front of her was just unsatisfactory and there was no need to think too much about it.

"Kangsanmidha."

Hearing this, Zhao Meiyan smiled quite obediently.

After talking with the director and screenwriter, Zhao Meiyan packed up and prepared to leave.

She also made a dinner appointment with Quan Xuanhe tonight. She thought it would be difficult to make an appointment with him on his birthday, but she didn't expect that he had time today.

Zhao Meiyan walked out in a good mood. As she passed through the corridor, she could faintly hear the sound of conversation in front of her.

"Lee Do Hyun also knows Kwon Hyun Hyuk."

Zhao Meiyan inadvertently slowed down her pace and listened carefully to the conversation between the casting director and others in the crew in front of her.

Who knows about this kind of eavesdropping gossip moment? No one can restrain their curiosity.

"I don't think there's much difference. There must be a connection."

"Zhao Meiyan?"

"She was already chosen during the audition, and it was just a formality on the surface."

"Is it the director?"

"Quan Xuanhe?"

"what"

The sound coming from the front became a little vague and distant, and only a few words that were faintly heard could be heard clearly.

Zhao Meiyan bit her lip slightly, slowed down her breathing and listened to the discussions of others behind her. Suddenly, she heard her own name pop up among them.

She knew that the audition opportunity was secured for her by Quan Xuanhe, but why did he say that she was chosen through connections?
Isn't this too much of a rumor? Are the so-called gossips being distorted?
but.
On second thought, Zhao Meiyan suddenly remembered what the director said, and she felt uneasy again. The inexplicable hesitation made her heart fluctuate again.

"Mei Yanxi?"

Suddenly someone called out from behind, startling her awake. She turned around hastily, barely reacting when a smile appeared on her face. "To Xixi."

"Why are you standing here motionless? Are you waiting for someone?"

Li Daoxuan looked at her and asked politely.

"Ani, something suddenly occurred to me."

Zhao Meiyan kept smiling and shook her head, her words lacking confidence as she made up an excuse.

"Ah, okay."

Li Daoxuan nodded and was about to leave first, but Zhao Meiyan called him again.

"Have you heard any news?"

"what?"

“I just heard someone say.”

Li Daoxuan looked at her hesitantly with a little doubt, waiting for her to continue.

“I heard others say that about me.”

Zhao Meiyan was embarrassed to continue her speech and wanted to know what her reputation was in the group.

Li Daoxuan was not a fool, and he could immediately guess what she wanted to express.

But the first thought that came to his mind was whether Zhao Meiyan in front of him was really stupid or just pretending to be a green tea.

"There's no need to worry about gossip. Just do your job well."

Li Daoxuan didn't know Zhao Meiyan very well, so he said some polite words to fool her.

"Ok."

When Zhao Meiyan heard him say this, she temporarily gave up the idea of ​​communicating with him. After all, the two of them were not familiar with each other yet, so how could she say such things when they were not familiar with each other?

She joined the group based on her own strength!

Bar.?
Zhao Meiyan gathered her thoughts and quickened her pace.

She wants to meet Quan Xuanhe now and celebrate his birthday!

She wanted to repay him seriously at this meaningful moment.

As the lights come on, Seoul is brightly lit at night and the traffic is congested.

After running through the entire fan support area and completing the check-in, Quan Xuanhe stayed in the company for a while and then drove to his destination alone.

Mei Yan said she wanted to celebrate his birthday and even booked a place, and didn't let him worry about these things at all. She said that they didn't celebrate his birthday well last year, and she wanted to give him a good birthday this year and make up for last year's.

To be honest, Quan Xuanhe was a little touched.

At this moment, everyone else was wishing him a happy birthday or editing long messages and sending them to him, but Zhao Meiyan's response was so sincere and enthusiastic.
Not really.

Quan Xuanhe drove to the place alone, parked the car on the side of the road, put on a mask and a hat, got out of the car alone, and went into the restaurant.

This place is in Dongdaemun, Jongno District. It serves mixed Asian cuisine, has exquisite decoration, and has a strange name. Many high-end restaurants in Seoul are like this, neither Western nor Chinese. You wouldn’t even know it’s a restaurant just by hearing the name.

"I'm here, how about you?"

"I'm waiting for you up there, come on!!"

Hearing this, Quan Xuanhe put away his phone and entered the restaurant. The waiter took him upstairs, knocked on the door of a private room, and slightly moved aside to let him in.

Quan Xuanhe pushed open the door and walked in. Before he had time to take a look at the environment inside, a firework exploded at him, accompanied by Zhao Meiyan's happy birthday.

"Happy birthday!!!"

Quan Xuanhe was startled and stunned for a moment, then looked towards the direction where the sound came from. Zhao Meiyan was hiding at the door, holding a firework tube in her hand, with a bright smile on her face, looking at him with joy.

"Scared me."

Patting the fireworks on his body, Quan Xuanhe looked at Zhao Meiyan and said with a smile.

Zhao Meiyan is dressed very beautifully today, even better than she is on stage.

Her black wavy long hair is soft and smooth like silk and falls on her shoulders. Miyeon’s beauty is always the most radiant with her black hair.

Her almond-shaped eyes were bright and radiant, with a lively aura that belonged only to her. Her long eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, her nose was straight and straight, her rosy lips were slightly parted, and the dimples that appeared when she smiled added a touch of sweetness.

Regardless, Miyeon's beauty is undeniable.

She was dressed a bit boldly, with a low-cut dress that revealed a faint cleavage in front of her chest. Her smooth shoulders and straight collarbones looked rosy white under the light.

"You look so beautiful today."

Quan Xuanhe looked Zhao Meiyan up and down in front of him, praising her without reservation.

"Is it beautiful? Thank you~"

Zhao Meiyan said this with joyful surprise, and then accepted his compliment without hesitation, smiling with curved eyebrows.

But after the script reading, she went to the beauty salon again and picked out the clothes she would wear today in advance. She was dressed up from beginning to end today.

"There's still some on my head."

A few pieces of fireworks that had just been scattered fell on Quan Xuanhe's head. Zhao Meiyan saw it and stretched out her arm to help him pick them off. Quan Xuanhe also cooperated and lowered his head to let her help him pick them off.

The scent of her perfume permeated his nose, making him sniff a few more times.

It was the scent of his favorite perfume. His eyes naturally followed the downward direction, and the faintly visible ravine aroused an endless desire to explore and aroused curiosity in his heart.

"All right."

Zhao Meiyan gently helped him pick off a few pieces of broken fireworks and prepared to proceed to the next step.

"Don't move yet."

Zhao Meishen stretched out her hand in front of him, then turned around and suddenly took out a birthday cake and placed it in front of him with both hands.

"Dangdang."

"I wrote this with my own hand."

Zhao Meiyan raised her eyebrows at the cake in front of her with great interest, motioning him to look at the words written on the cake.

【Happy 25th Birthday-To Xuanhe.】

In Korea, the age is considered to be twenty-five, there is nothing wrong with it, and now he is half fifty years old.

"Should I make a wish first or after dinner?"

Zhao Meiyan looked at him with her big watery eyes, asking for his opinion.

"Wait until you're done eating, or your makeup will get smudged."

Zhao Meiyan blinked her eyes and was stunned for a moment before she reacted. Then she looked coquettish and said, "Ah~" Her soft lips pouted, with a look of dissatisfaction.

"Eat, eat."

Quan Xuanhe put the cake aside and pushed Zhao Meiyan to sit down first. Only then did he have the mind to look around the environment in the private room.

A large floor-to-ceiling window, marble floors, cool colors full of Instagram style, and warm yellow lights overhead.

It looks real and has atmosphere.

"To be honest, I didn't think you had time today at first."

The two sat down face to face. Zhao Meiyan fiddled with her hair and looked at Quan Xuanhe with bright eyes.

"Originally I didn't have time. I had to eat at home with my uncle."

"But since it's Miyeon, I came out and had dinner with her."

Celebrate birthday together.

"qinjia?"

Zhao Meiyan was pleasantly surprised, then she immediately covered her mouth lightly, frowned slightly, and looked very touched.

"Of course, only Miyeon said she would treat me to a meal. No one else can compare to Miyeon."

This is true.

Zhou Ziyu's relationship with him is slowly recovering, so it is impossible for her to have dinner with him alone.

Minatozaki Sana was feeling uncomfortable with him, and it was impossible for her to leave Tzuyu alone to celebrate his birthday.

Since I just broke the ice with Liu Zhimin, this is unlikely.

Kim Ji Soo
Friends who just slept together are going to have a big fight when they meet on your birthday.

Our other relationships were not that deep, and I didn't say anything about celebrating his birthday. So, when you think about it, it was really Meiyan.

“I would be really touched by that.”

Zhao Meiyan's tone softened. "Please don't be like this. We just started eating, why did you make the atmosphere so weird all of a sudden?"

She felt a little embarrassed as she spoke. At the beginning, the atmosphere should have been gradually improved, but now that all this was said suddenly, she didn't know how to react.

"Didn't you start it?"

Quan Xuanhe laughed and stopped talking about this topic.

"You're really good at choosing places. They're delicious."

"Yeah, I was afraid you wouldn't be used to Japanese and Korean food, so I picked this restaurant specifically."

Zhao Meiyan couldn't help but take credit for it, with a relaxed smile on her face.

During the one year that the two of them worked together, they got to know each other better, such as he doesn't like cilantro, and although he is Korean he doesn't like kimchi, but he likes Chinese food, and so on.

She kept it all in mind.

"No wonder I smelled such an alluring scent right away. It turns out they were all the scents I like."

"moya"

Zhao Meiyan covered her mouth lightly, and the smile on her face became more and more intense.

"Actually, I just joined the team, and you were the one who introduced me to this opportunity. So I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you."

"Without you, it would be really hard for me to have this opportunity!"

Zhao Meiyan spoke very sincerely, her almond-shaped eyes looking at him seriously, and her tone was warm and sincere.

"Your efforts are also important."

Quan Xuanhe smiled and encouraged him.

Seeing his reaction, Zhao Meiyan recalled the incident after the script reading. She started to think about it and said what she had guessed.

"Ani, I know everything."

Ok?
Quan Xuanhe looked at her expression and it didn't seem fake, as if she really knew that he was helping her operate the role.

"You knew already?"

You knew already?

Zhao Meiyan's heart beat faster and her heart was pounding, but her thoughts suddenly stopped. In an instant, all the things were connected, as if everything could be explained.

These few simple words were powerful enough to make her heart begin to shake.

It turned out that her role had already been confirmed, and the so-called audition opportunity, or even the audition itself, was not important.

When she opened her mouth to talk to Quan Xuanhe and when he agreed, everything had already been decided.

Zhao Meiyan's mind became more and more confused. The previous scenes began to spin and overlap in her mind, and the voices seemed to ring in her ears again.

You were recommended by Xuan He

[Xuanhe called me before.]

【Don't worry, you can do it. 】

She suddenly felt a little confused, her lips trembling, and her expression became dazed.

"Miyeon?"

"what?"

Zhao Meiyan was suddenly called back to her senses by him, but her mind was not focused and she was still in a trance.

She didn't know how to react.

Should she thank Quan Xuanhe or blame him for deceiving her and keeping her in the dark?

But when she thought about the time when he taught her acting one-on-one and helped her find acting training classes, she didn't know what to do.

Why is this?

"Xuanhe ah"

Zhao Meiyan felt that he had done too much for her and her thoughts were very confused, but among these millions of thoughts, she seemed to know one thing, which was also the most core thing.

He does this for himself, and the starting point of all this is for himself.

I didn't let her know because I wanted her to pay enough attention to this matter and I didn't want to burden myself too much.

"Why are you doing this?"

Zhao Meiyan raised her head, her eyes were extremely serious at this moment, and her desire to know his true thoughts was extremely strong.

She knew the answer in her heart, but she wanted to know what the answer in Quan Xuanhe's heart was even more.

"Are we really just friends?"

Zhao Meiyan looked at Quan Xuanhe, her words filled with expectation, doubt, and even desire.
