Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 519 A Continuous Stream of Ingenuity

"Looks like I was right. Are you two sulking? Neither of you is talking to the other?"

The conference room suddenly fell silent, with only the faint hissing of the central air conditioning blowing warm air from the ceiling.

At this moment, even the slightest movement would attract attention, so Ning Yizhuo and Gisele both kept quiet and even lowered their breathing.

Quan Xuanhe looked at the two of them from left to right, seemingly unaware that there was anything wrong with what he had said, or that the atmosphere was strange and oppressive.

"Why?"

"Which of you two can answer this for me?"

Asking knowingly.

Although Quan Xuanhe had the idea of ​​having Jin Dongtian as his wingman, he didn't want the two of them to really break up because of him. That would not be the result he wanted. Too much of a good thing can be bad.

So, sometimes it's better to put things out in the open than to use this method to directly address the unspoken issues between the two people. Of course, the key point is that he actually put these issues out in the open.

It's highly unlikely that the two of them will start arguing, because they both have pride and can't very well say that they hurt each other because of him.

This is just too low-class.

"Minjung is a little..."

Liu Zhimin smoothed her hair, feeling that she was Nuna but also that it was her fault, so she broke the sudden silence by glancing at Jin Dongtian before quickly looking away.

"I?"

"What's wrong with me?"

Before her words had even faded, Jin Dongtian seemed quite sensitive to the situation. The next second, she spoke up in rebuttal, her eyes widening slightly with displeasure in them.

A crisp, somewhat sharp voice echoed in the empty conference room, allowing one to clearly feel the emotions in Jin Dongtian's words.

Upon hearing Jin Dongtian's words, Liu Zhimin seemed to recall scene after scene of the outrageous things she had done. This attitude of doing things but not admitting them made her even more angry, but she couldn't lose her temper because Quan Xuanhe was in front of her.

"Then tell me, what do you think you did well?"

"What's wrong with me? Isn't it because I'm sometimes too sensitive, which makes others feel a bit burdened?"

Jin Dongtian wasn't just saying that randomly. She had been misunderstood by Liu Zhimin at the beginning, which made her very resentful.

They treat her like a tool, yet they're also wary of her—how can they do this?

"I?"

Am I being sensitive?

"If I were sensitive, I would have already..."

Liu Zhimin's eyes widened instantly, her chest heaved violently, her fair fingers clenched her palms, and her small face was filled with anger.

"Alright, let's go eat. Let's sit there and talk it out. We've already said it all, so let's sit there and get to the bottom of it."

Liu Zhimin was interrupted by Quan Xuanhe halfway through her sentence, the timing of which was quite precise.

"Don't say it."

"You don't need to say anything more."

"Don't actually start arguing, that would be a very ugly scene, and nobody wants to see that."

Quan Xuanhe glanced at the two women, both of whom were getting increasingly angry, and nodded at them, politely but without giving them a chance to refuse, thus ending the conversation.

"How many nanny vans do you have?"

Quan Xuanhe turned to look at Ning Yizhuo and suddenly asked a somewhat unrelated question.

Ning Yizhuo, who had been silently watching the show with her head down, looked up at him with a blank expression, gave a slightly embarrassed smile, and held up one finger.

"One."

"There is only one of us."

As Ning Yizhuo spoke, she couldn't help but glance at the two of them. As she spoke, she seemed to already be able to imagine the scene in the nanny van later.

She and Gisele sat in the back, while Yoo Jimin and Kim Dong-won were pulling each other's hair and cursing loudly in front of them, tearing each other apart until their heads were bleeding.

That scene must be beautiful; she doesn't want to see it at all.

"So, the two of you will sit with me."

Kwon Hyun-hyuk first looked at Kim Dong-won and Yoo Ji-min, then at Ning Yi-zhuo and Gisele.

"Why don't you two take one car first?"

"OK, no problem."

Ning Yizhuo readily agreed. Seeing that the method he proposed should not lead to that overly beautiful scene, he did not hesitate at all and directly took Giselle's hand.

Seeing this, Liu Zhimin and Jin Dongtian neither said anything, but just pursed their lips and ignored each other, but they had no objection to this distribution method.

"Let's go then." Quan Xuanhe clapped his hands, urging them on, and waved to them.

Without saying a word, Jin Dong walked out of the conference room. From behind, he looked like a child with a small frame. His short hair, which reached his ears, swayed with his steps and shone with a black sheen under the light.

Liu Zhimin looked at her back with dissatisfaction and rolled her eyes, but instead of walking angrily like her, she walked beside Quan Xuanhe.

Ning Yizhuo and Gisele walked at the very back, lagging far behind the two, covering their mouths and muttering to themselves.

What if they start arguing?

"What if they start arguing during dinner?"

"When the time comes, I'll grab one, you'll pull the other away, and we'll cover their mouths so no one can speak."

The two muttered to each other in hushed tones, talking about random things.

Quan Xuanhe seems reliable; the two shouldn't be able to argue under his control.

So, amidst this, a strange mix of worry and schadenfreude arose, a desire to see what would happen to the two women because of him.

The group arrived at the underground parking lot in this awkward atmosphere. The agent, who was standing next to the van, looked at them with a puzzled expression, wondering what was wrong with them and why they were so late.

"Let's go."

The agent pushed up his glasses, watching the group approaching. He seemed to have noticed the subtle changes in their relationship, his gaze shifting frequently between them.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk took the initiative to speak, "Since we don't have any plans for the rest of the year, we're thinking of having a meal together. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Uh-huh."

Although Yoo Ji-min had a falling out with Kim Dong-il, she was completely cooperating with Kwon Hyun-hyuk at this time.

The lights in the underground parking lot flickered on and off, and Liu Zhimin stood next to Quan Xuanhe in the shadows.

"Really?"

"now go?"

The manager glanced down at the time, then looked up at the members who didn't show any signs of fatigue, his tone slightly surprised.

What I really meant was that I didn't want them to go.

"It won't take much time, we won't drink, just a simple chat."

Kwon Hyun-hyuk, knowing his manager's concerns, smiled and explained to him, allaying his worries and putting his mind at ease.

Upon hearing this, the manager looked at the other members and found that no one spoke up; all of them were eagerly waiting for him to agree.

"Okay, let the driver take you there."

The agent had no choice but to agree in the end.

The group set off in a grand procession, splitting into two vans: Ning Yizhuo and Gisele in one, while Liu Zhimin and Jin Dongtian rode in Quan Xuanhe's van.

Jin Dongtian's bottom didn't move at all. She got into the car first and sat in the front seat.

Liu Zhimin sat in the back row.

There were two seats for each person, so it depended on who he sat next to. It was a choice that might be difficult, but for Kwon Hyun-hyuk, he didn't hesitate much and plopped down next to Kim Dong-won.

Sitting in the back, Liu Zhimin waited to see who he would sit next to, but to her surprise, he sat down next to Jin Dongtian without even thinking, which immediately angered her.

Are you on her side?
When Jin Dongtian saw him sitting next to her, she was surprised, but then her tense and stiff body relaxed a little, and she felt better.

Clearly, she knew that Kwon Hyun-hyuk actually favored Yoo Jimin more, so she didn't have much expectation in her heart.

He's only strong on the surface.

But to her surprise, Kwon Hyuk took the initiative to sit next to her.

At this sensitive moment, every subtle movement can attract the attention of both of them.

"It will take twenty minutes to get there now. Would you two like to calm down and tell us your story in a more measured way?"

Kwon Hyun-hyuk turned to the side, first glancing at Kim Dong-won, who was looking down at her phone but didn't know what she was doing, and then turning to look at Yoo Jimin in the back seat.

She sat there with her arms crossed, glaring at him sharply, expressing her displeasure at his deliberate attempt to carry the water.

Liu Zhimin knew, of course, that Quan Xuanhe was trying to be fair and didn't want things to get too ugly.

The problem is that this bowl of water should have been hers in the first place. It was Jin Dongtian who kept coming over and tapping it, poking at it, and even trying to take the water away.

She couldn't stand it for a second.

Why don't you go first?

Quan Xuanhe looked at Jin Dongtian and casually asked.

"I will not say."

Jin Dong coldly turned his head away, looking out the car window with a somewhat aloof attitude.

"And you."

Seeing this, Quan Xuanhe turned to look at Liu Zhimin and asked.

"What's there to say? He's just deliberately going against me."

Since Quan Xuanhe was present, he no longer needed to worry about his responsibilities as captain.

Since no one else was around, I didn't need to worry about what others thought.

"cut!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Dongtian snorted coldly. Her short, black hair, reaching her ears, seemed to tremble slightly with her voice, enhancing her aloof and mechanical appearance.

"Tch? Tch!"

Liu Zhimin glared at Jin Dongtian with disdain, then slashed even louder.

The white sweater that was bunched up in front of her chest became even more prominent, and it trembled slightly with the rise and fall of her voice.

"childish."

Kim Dong-won suddenly blurted out this comment, criticizing Yoo Ji-min's childish behavior.

I don't want to say who's being childish.

Liu Zhimin retorted without backing down.

Quan Xuanhe watched from the side and thought it was like elementary school chicks pecking at each other, without much anger, but rather quite interesting to watch.

"Alright, I think you two are both pretty childish."

"What are they all thinking about?"

"Do you really have to put yourself on camera for interpretation and cause fans to have a huge argument about your relationship?"

Quan Xuanhe stopped the two from bickering and spoke more strongly, trying to make them take it seriously.

"Especially you."

"You are the captain."

Quan Xuanhe looked at Liu Zhimin, who was about to retort, and stopped her from speaking, first labeling her.

"And you."

"Be careful not to overdo it."

Kwon Hyun-hyuk turned to look at Kim Dong-won, who seemed to have some ulterior motives. In fact, her subtle actions were even more worrying.

"What's wrong with the captain?"

"Where did I play?"

After he finished speaking, the two of them refuted him in unison, which showed their tacit understanding.

The two finished speaking at the same time, glanced at each other, and then quickly looked away.

He deliberately ignored this damned tacit understanding.

"OK, very good."

Quan Xuanhe waved his hand and gave each of them a thumbs up.

Neither of them spoke anymore; they sat there silently.

And so, they arrived at their destination.

Seoul at night isn't exactly cold, to be honest. They weren't in the downtown area, but there were still some shops open on the street.

"Have something light to eat, then you'll all be busy again."

The group of people were standing by the roadside, all wearing masks, but anyone who knew them would recognize them at a glance.

Top-tier actors and rising girl groups.

This combination is quite an attractive gimmick.

At two o'clock in the morning, there were still quite a few diners in the store. Five people sat down in a corner, then took off their masks, revealing their true faces.

Fortunately, Koreans are used to seeing celebrities, so even if some people recognized them, they didn't rush up to ask for autographs or photos, and naturally blended in with the other diners.

"You can order now."

Kwon Hyun-hyuk handed them the menu. Yoo Jimin and Kim Dong-won sat on either side of them, while Kwon Hyun-hyuk sat in the middle.

The menu was circulated around before being handed to the waiter, and what was served on the table was a seven-person serving of roast meat.

The waiter recognized Kwon Heon-hyuk, but didn't recognize the Aespa members.

Please have a meal.

The waiter glanced at Quan Xuanhe, said something politely, and then walked away.

They were wondering whether to ask him to sign his autograph after they finished eating, since Kwon Heon-hyuk was a big star and they could use his popularity to attract tourists.

"Eat, eat, eat! Let's start eating!"

Quan Xuanhe glanced at the four beautiful women and a hearty smile appeared on his face. He had already taken off his suit jacket, leaving only his shirt underneath, which he had unbuttoned and loosened.

The group started eating, and the crisp clinking of the metal chopsticks against the metal plate filled the air.

Liu Zhimin had just put a piece of meat in her mouth, and the more she chewed, the more fragrant it became. Feeling the aroma of the meat filling her mouth, she turned her head and glanced at it, then suddenly stopped. She felt that the meat in her mouth no longer smelled good, and she was a little dumbfounded.

Kim Dong-won said nothing, but silently picked up a piece of lettuce with a few water droplets on it, put a few slices of meat on it, then added a few slices of kimchi, and finally handed it to Kwon Hyun-hyuk with both hands.

He could clearly sense that Jin Dongtian's actions were not right, and Liu Zhimin's gaze beside him felt like thorns in his back.

Jin Dongtian remained silent, her cold, wintery eyes gazing at him quietly. Her gaze seemed pure at that moment, as if she were not thinking about anything else.

This scenario has occurred yet again.
