Peninsula Platinum Era

Chapter 319 The Burnt-Out An Dog
"Unnie, we're debuting before you guys this time. Are you going to have to wait until next year?"

An An pulled the thin blanket over her body and listened to her older sister complaining that the training was too hard and that all the young people nowadays were too much to handle.

“Yes, Yu-zhen, you have no idea how amazing young people are these days. Take Nakamura Ichiyo, who just arrived…”

Actually, at first, Minju thought it would be good to have a newcomer join him at the bottom, since the other person was a young man who had just entered the K-pop industry and was a foreigner who needed to adapt to everything.

But to her utter surprise, this young man, born in the same year as An An, displayed an astonishing adaptability. Just as she was exhausted and ready to rest, she saw Nakamura Ichiyo go back to practice without batting an eye.

When asked if she was tired, she said it was much easier than when she was practicing ballet, and that she was bridging the gap at a very fast pace. Minju was so nervous that she almost cried.

"Is she really that good? Unnie always exaggerates. Is she even more talented than me?"

An An was a little unconvinced. When she saw Chen Shijun also coming over, she thought that this oppa might know something and could give Minju unnie more help because of her.

"Of course she's not as good as our Youzhen. Our Youzhen is definitely the best."

Seeing that his younger sister was a little jealous, Minju on the other end of the phone gave a wry smile. This guy's competitive spirit was indeed extremely strong, even in such a small matter.

"You've practiced ballet for 15 years? That's amazing! You've found a new friend and are just praising her here, aren't you? You can't let her bully you."

The thought that Minju might have found a new dog, that she might be bullied by someone else, and that she might even be bullied by a Japanese man, filled me with sadness.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Why would I be bullied? Do I have some kind of disease that I'll die if I don't get bullied? You bad dog."

Minju vehemently protested against this guy's tyranny, but was also happy that he had become the captain. The second youngest sister at the time had now become a reliable woman who could stand on her own.

"No, no, I was just kidding. How have you been lately, unnie?"

Seeing Chen Shijun examining the small necklace, Youzhen panicked and, disregarding the risk of accidentally exposing herself, crawled over to try and snatch it, but the man naturally wouldn't let her have her way.

“I’m doing well lately. I’m facing the same pressure to debut as you, but we’re a few months behind. The treatment here is pretty good, and the dorms are much better than they were in IZ*ONE.”

It must be said that HYBE has fulfilled its promises quite generously, and has also given considerable courtesy to these artists who have already debuted and proven themselves.

“I called Xiaoyuan yesterday to celebrate her birthday. It’s so nice to have someone as capable as Director Chen as her strong support.”

Minju was unaware that the big dog was pouncing on Director Chen, but instead of getting the necklace, Chen Shijun kept trying to put it around her neck.

An'an blushed instantly and could only try to press her head tightly against the man's chest and gently bite his pectoral muscles to express her protest.

"Director Chen is a good person, you'll see later, Unnie. By the way, Director Chen didn't make things difficult for you later, did he?"

She traced circles on Chen Shijun's chest with her finger, where there was a small bite mark from her earlier bite. It seemed that this older sister had offended Director Chen with some minor misunderstanding last time. She wondered if the misunderstanding had been cleared up.

"Director Chen really didn't make things difficult for me, and I haven't seen him much since. But Youzhen, it's best if you don't have any contact with him."

Minzhou felt that this girl was too enthusiastic about Director Chen, which was not a good thing for a girl her age.

Chen Shijun's eyes widened in surprise. He hadn't bothered to cause trouble for this soft-spoken girl, yet she was meddling in his affairs. This was outrageous!

"Unnie, what are you talking about? When did I contact Wonyoung's oppa?" Yoojin felt a little guilty, but she was also somewhat dismissive. What's done is done, and it's too late to say anything now.

Besides, she didn't think there was anything wrong with her choice. When it comes to dating, feelings naturally come first. I don't know what this older sister is worried about.

"It's best not to have any contact with him. I've told you many times, this man makes me feel very dangerous, and I'm very afraid of him."

Minju's words were heartfelt to Yoojin, but Ahn Gou wanted to hang up. It wasn't because he was unhappy with the older sister's criticism of Chen Shijun, but because the man's expression was quite amusing.

"How can you judge a person based on your feelings? Can't you see Director Chen's good qualities?"

I was secretly hoping that you'd say something nice soon, otherwise I wouldn't be able to save you. This little soft girl would be completely melted down in Director Chen's hands.

She tried to end the conversation, but Chen Shijun told her to keep talking. However, An An decided that no matter what, she would plead for Minju Unnie.

"He is indeed very good to his sister, and Yuan Ying has been saying so, but have you noticed that Yuan Ying's feelings for him are a bit strange? Even if you just say it, she gets angry."

Youzhen felt that this time she wasn't just talking; it was a fait accompli, and even if Yuanying came, she would have no choice but to bite the bullet and step up.

But Minju unnie, you're really asking for trouble. I'll have to go through a lot of trouble to save you later.

"It's not that exaggerated. Yuanying is just a little jealous. Unnie, you're overthinking it."

Chen Shijun enjoys watching the drama of his sisterly bond with Yuan Ying, and Youzhen is happy to perform for him, but Minju is still putting on an act.

The petite girl had just finished showering and plopped down on the chair in front of the table, hugging her knees and curling up into a ball. On the table were her recent, densely packed schedule.

"I hope I'm overthinking it, but Yuan Ying isn't Director Chen's biological sister. She might have special feelings for him, and you should be able to sense that, right?"

Minju had no idea that he was jumping around in Director Chen's minefield, and even Yoojin closed her eyes in pain. Gritting her teeth, she obediently let Director Chen put the necklace around her neck, and this time she had no way to resist.

"No, no, I think Director Chen and Yuan Ying's relationship is very pure. How could you think that way, Unnie! I'll call you again when I have time, my mom is calling me..."

Feeling that letting this older woman continue would surely lead to trouble, she ended the conversation despite Chen Shijun's objections, hoping that her man was a magnanimous person.

"Oppa! Unnie isn't..."

"Who is she? Seriously, to talk such nonsense about me, just wait and see how I teach her a lesson..."

He glared fiercely at An An, as if that soft girl would soon suffer endless torment in his hands, making Youzhen, who had just become a woman, tremble.

"No, oppa! For my sake, please forgive unnie. It's all my fault."

However, Minju unnie said it herself, so she can't be blamed. Besides, she has already tried her best to make amends.

Gritting her teeth, she reached out and placed the short chain connecting the necklace into the man's hand, her face flushed. She was completely exhausted. Minju unnie, how are you going to repay what you owe me?
