Peninsula: It’s just a dream, are you serious?

Chapter 562 Krystal Jung's Plans Against Jessica Jung
Krystal looked at Chen Yan and pursed her lips: "I have something to tell you."

The two are now standing at a corner, out of sight of the production crew by the pool, while the other guests and MCs have already gone into the changing room a few meters away.

"What is it?"

Chen Yan asked a question, then, as if remembering something, a smile crept onto his lips. He leaned closer to the girl and whispered:
"Soojung, block me! The 'Ideal Type World Cup' you mentioned earlier was just a game."

Krystal Jung paused, a blush rising to her cheeks: "Oh, that's not what I meant."

That bastard, why did he suddenly confess his feelings for me?

They should have said those things when it was just the two of them at home. Now she has to suppress her joy.

"What's that?"

Chen Yan thought this little iceberg was because of the Ideal World Cup incident earlier.

"When you're recording the show later, try not to talk to me or look at me."

Chen Yan was slightly taken aback, but quickly realized: "Xiuyan noona?"

"Well, I plan to use this recording of the show to add some more evidence, so that I can better deceive Jessica."

This was something she had thought of while she was in the car, and she felt it would be very helpful in her plan to solve Jessica Jung's problem.

Her plan to solve Jessica Jung's problem was actually quite simple.

That is, she took the initiative to approach Chen Yan, and then made Chen Yan, who realized her feelings, keep his distance from her at the right time.

Finally, she pretended to be sad and upset in front of Jessica Jung, which made Jessica Jung feel sorry for her and thus accept her relationship with Chen Yan more.

The plan was simple, but Krystal Jung thought it would be very useful, since Jessica is a doting brother.

No one understands Jessica better than her.

Chen Yan nodded: "Okay, I understand."

"Okay, that's it. Just ignore me and don't look at me. Leave the rest to me. Remember that?"

"Yeah, remember."

Chen Yan smiled and glanced at Jung Soo-jung's wet hair: "Go dry your hair. We can talk later if there's anything else. Be careful not to catch a cold."

"Okay, I'm off then."

After their quiet conversation, the girl walked briskly toward the changing room.

Watching her retreating figure, Chen Yan couldn't help but chuckle softly again.

It's really impressive that this girl came up with such a strange idea.

A moment later, the group, having tidied up, regrouped by the swimming pool to collect their mission rewards.

The team that came in first place in the game segment just now was Kim Tae-yeon, Im Yoon-ah, and Yoo Jae-suk, who received a 100-second time bonus.

The three groups that tied for second place were Chen Yan (Li Zhi'en), Apink, and Girl's Day, who received a 90-second time bonus.

The third place went to Krystal Jung's group, which got 60 seconds, while the last place went to Suzy Bae's group, which got 50 seconds.

After each team received their time cards, PD Cho Hyo-jin looked at Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah.

"Girls' Generation's team won first place, and they can switch partners. Would you like to switch?"

Upon hearing this, Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah immediately smiled and exchanged a glance.

Then Yoona bowed to Yoo Jae-suk next to her and said, "I'm sorry, Jae-suk oppa."

Yoo Jae-suk reacted quickly to the joke, but his smile froze.

"Yoona, Taeyeon, I'm a SONE."

After some back and forth, Kim Tae-yeon looked at Cho Hyo-jin and said, "We need to switch Chen Yanxi from IU's team."

That's why they played the game so hard.

Lee Ji-eun pouted, looking unhappy, which was partly for the sake of the show, but also partly genuine.

Turning to look at Chen Yan, she found that this scoundrel was still smiling, which made her even more annoyed. She shouted loudly:

"Oppa, why are you smiling so happily?! It's so annoying!"

Chen Yan's smile vanished instantly: "I didn't."

After saying that, he immediately burst out laughing.

"ah!"

The people around immediately burst into laughter.

After the team members were exchanged, the writer on site raised the sign again, signaling Yoo Jae-suk to ask about the incident during the game where Tao and the others, along with Bae Suzy, cooperated with Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah to stop the others.

Upon receiving the instruction, Yoo Jae-suk immediately asked, "But there's something I'm curious about. Why were Sulli, Krystal, and Suzy helping Taeyeon and Yoona stop the others?"

He himself was also very curious about this matter. He had just gone to discuss the game's pacing and highlights with the writer, and he didn't know what had happened in between.

The attention of the others was also drawn to this, as they were also quite curious about it.

The three's teammates, Lee Kwang-soo, Haha, and Ji Suk-jin, all said they were unaware of their alliance.

The two had anticipated this question. Lim Yoona explained with a smile, "Because Taeyeon unnie and I just analyzed the other teams and found that our team doesn't actually have any advantages. Taeyeon unnie is actually at a disadvantage in this kind of competition."

Kim Tae-yeon, standing next to her, nodded in agreement.

"So after playing two rounds, we discussed it and decided to form an alliance. Then we went to Sulli, Krystal, and Suzy, and they finally agreed."

Yoo Jae-suk then looked at Tao and Jung Soo-jung: "Why did Sulli and Soo-jung agree?"

Before the two could answer, Kim Tae-yeon took Jung Soo-jung's arm and said with a smile, "They are my and Yoona's juniors."

The two nodded with smiles.

A look of realization dawned on everyone's faces.

Lee Kwang-soo, who was on a team with two other players, immediately shouted, "So you guys abandoned me and made our team second to last?"

Peach pouted: "Oppa, even if we don't ally with Yoona unnie, it'll be hard for us to win with you around. Krystal and I have watched quite a few episodes of the show."

Krystal Jung covered her mouth and smiled in agreement.

Lee Kwang-soo: "."

The others burst into laughter upon seeing this.

After the laughter subsided, Yoo Jae-suk looked at Bae Suzy and asked, "Suzy, why did you agree to form an alliance with Yoona and Taeyeon?"

Peach and Krystal Jung are juniors in the same company, but Bae Suzy is from JYP.

Bae Suzy had already prepared her explanation; the real reason was definitely something she couldn't reveal.

She muttered with her hands behind her back, "I saw that Haha oppa has already passed, and it's just me and Seokjin oppa left. We definitely don't have a chance of winning. I thought about it and decided that I might as well agree to Yoona unnie and the others. That way, it will be more fun."

The others looked enlightened again, but Ji Suk-jin, standing next to Bae Suzy, visibly stiffened.

Bae Suzy's words clearly implied that he was too weak, leading the girl to decide to give up the competition and choose to play something more interesting.

Haha noticed this, laughed, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him:

"It's okay, bro. Everyone knows this, no one will blame you."

His words were undisguisedly sarcastic.

Ji Suk-jin flung his hand away and yelled, "Hey, I can be really strong sometimes, you know!"

The interaction between the two made the others laugh again.

After the swimming pool segment ended, everyone prepared to go have lunch.

At this moment, a staff member jogged up to Chen Yan and asked, "Director Chen, we're preparing Korean food for lunch. Do you have any dietary restrictions?"

This was something Zhao Xiaozhen specifically asked him to come and ask.

Given Chen Yan's status and position, the way he was treated was naturally different.

Playing games is one thing, but in private, you must also do your job properly.

If someone is easygoing and polite to you, it's because they have a good personality and respect others, but you can't take advantage of their kindness and treat them casually.

"I don't have any dietary restrictions."

"Ok."

The staff member bowed respectfully and then left.

After a brief incident, everyone split into pairs and boarded the nanny vans.

Now Kim Tae-yeon, Im Yoon-ah, and Chen Yan are in one group, and Girl's Day is in the same car as them.

The van headed towards the place where they would have lunch.

The atmosphere on the bus was initially somewhat quiet.

Girl's Day's Ahyoung and Minah were a little nervous, as they had never met Girls' Generation before and weren't as natural as when they were riding with Apink. At that moment, Kim Tae-yeon took out some gummy candies from her small bag and handed them to the others.

"Ya Rong, Min Ya, have some candy."

Kim Ah-young and Bang Min-ah quickly accepted the gifts with both hands, saying, "Thank you, unnie."

Kim Tae-yeon smiled and waved her hand: "You're welcome."

Seeing this, Kim Jong-kook smiled and said at the right moment, "Ah-young, Min-ah, don't be nervous. Taeyeon and Yoona are both very nice people."

Kim Ah-young and Fang Min-ah nodded quickly and smiled.

After Kim Jong-kook finished speaking, he glanced at Chen Yan again: "But Ya Rong should indeed be a little shy, after all, Chen Yan just chose you as his ideal type."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan smiled helplessly: "We've brought up this topic again. Sigh, I should have dragged Kwang-soo over and given him another beating. What have I become?"

A burst of laughter immediately filled the car.

After laughing, Kim Jong-kook turned to Kim Ah-young and asked, "Ah-young, what was your feeling when you first met Chen Yan-xi?"

This wasn't him deliberately creating a love line between the two; rather, he and several other MCs had just received instructions from the writer to try and find opportunities to talk more about Chen Yan.

Today's episode can be considered a special episode featuring Chen Yan, and Chen Yan was indeed one of the biggest highlights of the recording.

Jin Yarong glanced at Chen Yan in the front row, and after their eyes met, she smiled sheepishly.

"When I first met PD Chen, I felt that he was a very warm person. I arrived last because I had an upset stomach."

Kim Jong-kook, Kim Tae-yeon, and Im Yoon-ah nodded.

Chen Yan mentioned this earlier as well.

Kim Ah-young continued, "At that time, I was thinking, 'Oh no, I'm late for my first meeting with PD-nim.' So when I went into the recording studio and saw PD-nim, I immediately apologized nervously."

"But then PD Chen said something that made me pause in surprise."

"What did Chen Yanxi say at the time?" Kim Jong-kook asked at the opportune moment.

"PDnim said at the time, 'Why apologize? It's normal to have an upset stomach, there's no need to apologize.'"

Kim Ah-young recalled her feelings at the time: "When I heard those words, I immediately relaxed, which made me feel that PDnim is a really warm person."

Kim Jong-kook, standing to the side, looked enlightened and nodded in agreement: "That's right, it's quite normal to have an upset stomach."

Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah raised their eyebrows slightly; it was the first time they had heard of this matter either.

Fang Minya, who was standing next to her, then spoke up, "When PD Chen saw that we were very nervous, he took the initiative to chat with us and help us relax. He was really kind."

"Yes, Xiaoyan is indeed a very warm-hearted person."

Kim Tae-yeon smiled and replied, exchanging a glance with Lim Yoon-a beside her, their eyes flashing simultaneously.

This scoundrel doesn't even realize he's flirting with people.

If it were a scheming scumbag, he would have already taken the opportunity to win over Kim Ah-young.

Although they knew that Chen Yan's personality was like that, they still couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

Kim Tae-yeon glanced at Chen Yan, who had been silent since the beginning and was looking out the car window at a 45-degree angle. When she saw the smile on his lips, she became even more annoyed and slapped him.

"Why aren't you saying a word, Xiaoyan?"

She hit a little too hard, and it was clearly driven by her personal emotions.

Startled by the sudden, forceful slap, Chen Yan turned and stared blankly at the woman.

Seeing the displeasure in her and Im Yoona's eyes, she quickly realized what was going on, and immediately gave the two of them a fawning look before turning to Kim Ah-young and Bang Min-ah, and smiling:

"You can say a few more compliments, I don't mind."

There was a brief moment of silence inside the car, followed by another burst of laughter, instantly brightening the atmosphere.

The other two cars were also filled with conversations about Chen Yan. The people who came were all familiar with Chen Yan or had worked with him before, so naturally they had plenty to talk about.

Amidst the chatter, the nanny vans arrived one after another at the entrance of a Korean restaurant a dozen minutes later.

After everyone had arrived, Zhao Xiaozhen said, "Everyone, you must be very hungry now, right?"

"Yes~"

I came here early this morning to dance, and just now I played such an energy-consuming game, how could I not be hungry?

"Next up is our lunch competition game, a five-second quiz."

The five-second quiz game is also one of the classic games of Running Man.

Each of the six groups present sent one representative to participate in the game. They competed against each other, asking and answering questions back and forth. The person being asked a question had to give three answers within five seconds, and if they exceeded the time limit, they would lose.

"The team that wins first place will receive a deluxe lunch with five dishes, the same amount of time as the previous round, and the right to switch partners. The team that wins one place will have one less dish, and the team that wins last place will only have seaweed and rice."

As Zhao Xiaozhen spoke, he pointed to the dishes already laid out on the table next to him.

Upon seeing the sumptuous lunch that the first-place winner would receive, especially the large beef patty in the center, several people subconsciously swallowed hard.

Haha then spoke up: "Ji-hyo's group has a big advantage. Ji-hyo is the queen of this game."

Lee Ji-eun's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this: "Unnie, I'm counting on you."

Yoo Jae-suk, standing next to her, smiled and affirmed, "That's right, Ji-hyo is really good at this game."

Zhao Xiaozhen spoke again: "Because we're worried that everyone might not be clear on how to play this game, we'll have Jae-seok and Ji-hyo demonstrate it for us."

Chen Yan and the other female guests nodded; they genuinely weren't quite sure how to play the game.

Yoo Jae-suk and Song Ji-hyo sat on two small stools prepared by the production team in the middle.

Zhao Xiaozhen announced the start of the game.

Yoo Jae-suk asked the question first. He glanced at Song Ji-hyo across from him, thought for a moment, and then asked:
What are the three reasons why Ji-hyo likes Gary?

Gary, who was suddenly called upon, smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

The female guests next to them couldn't help but smile like doting aunts; they had all more or less enjoyed the sweet moments of the Monday Couple.

Song Ji-hyo smiled and quickly replied, "Humorous, talented, and thoughtful."

Answer within five seconds, then you're approved.

Now it was Song Ji-hyo's turn to ask: "What are the three lies you told your wife?"

Yoo Jae-suk was visibly taken aback: "Uh, I'll go home early, uh..."

"Ding"

If the time exceeds five seconds, it will fail.

Song Ji-hyo wore a smile that suggested she had won effortlessly.

Haha and the others nearby swarmed around him, teasing Yoo Jae-suk about lying to his wife.

"So Jae-seok hyung also lies to his wife, hahaha."

"Jae-seok, is this really all? Haven't you told your wife any other lies?"

"Sister-in-law, are you watching a TV show? In the future, if Brother Shi says he will go back early, don't believe him."

The female guests on the sidelines widened their eyes slightly, realizing that this was how the game was played.

Chen Yan also raised an eyebrow.

It seems this is a game that tests who dares to ask more questions and whose reaction speed is also a challenge.

Zhao Xiaozhen called a halt at the right moment: "Alright, now each team please select one representative to participate in the competition."

Chen Yan turned to look at Kim Tae-yeon and Lim Yoon-ah. Before he could speak, Kim Tae-yeon said, "Xiao Yan, come and play."

Yoona nodded as well.

They all knew that the production team wanted to give Chen Yan more screen time in this episode.

"it is good."

Chen Yan nodded. He really wanted to play the game; he thought it was quite interesting.

After discussing it, the other teams also decided on their participants.

The group represented by f(x) is led by Lee Kwang-soo.

Neither Tao nor Jung Soo-jung are good at this kind of game, so having the more experienced Lee Kwang-soo obviously gives them a better chance of winning.

Miss A's team sent Bae Suzy, who is just as witty as Haha and is also a female guest.

Apink's team sent Jung Eunji, Girl's Day sent Kim Ah-young, and Lee Ji-eun's team sent Song Ji-hyo, who is clearly very good at this game.

Once each team has selected its members, the game officially begins.
