Peninsula: My cheat code is unscientific

Chapter 23 Praise Yun Online

When Jiang Che saw that look in his eyes, his excitement vanished, and he started to feel guilty, like a thief:
Did Yoona have a stomachache that caused her to have a terrible headache? I'm a man, and it's one thing for me not to know how to put on makeup, but you, a female idol, forgot to remind me?!
"Yoona, I'm sorry, it's not that I didn't want to act shy and well-behaved!" Jiang Che thought of a desperate solution, suddenly raised his head, and instantly transformed into the flattering Yoon, using his skills from his past life.

"Oh my unnie!" Jiang Che's voice rose a octave, filled with exaggerated yet genuine amazement, and he leaned forward slightly, as if trying to peer over the seat to get a closer look:

"Unnie, your outfit today is absolutely stunning! The cut, the quality! It makes you look incredibly elegant! And your hairstyle too, no one but you could pull it off! It suits you perfectly!"
Also, did you change your perfume today? Just smelling it makes me feel so incredibly good, like I'm basking in the winter sun, feeling warm and cozy all over!

His tone sounded so sincere that his manager was completely taken aback by his overwhelming praise. Her eyes started to wander, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up in a smile.

Although I know that Yoona might be trying to sweet-talk me so I won't keep bringing up the fact that she wasn't wearing makeup, it was still a compliment from Yoona!

"Oh dear, you're so sweet-talking today..." The agent gave a reproachful glare at the rearview mirror.
"Alright, alright, it's fine if she didn't wear makeup. Our Yoona is naturally beautiful, she looks great even without makeup! Buckle up, we're heading to the radio station!"

She started the car in high spirits, completely forgetting her earlier doubts.

Jiang Che leaned back in his chair and silently exhaled.

Yoona, oh Yoona, your manager's defense level seems to have been set a little off!

Close your eyes and pretend to rest, but actually silently repeat in your mind:
Be well-behaved! Be shy! Speak little! Smile often! Never cause trouble!
After the car came to a stop, Jiang Che took a deep breath, opened the car door, and immediately transformed into the obedient Yoona.

As soon as I walked into the lobby with my agent, Caishen Tai rushed over.

"Yoona! Over here!" Taeyeon grabbed his wrist and spoke rapidly:
"Why are you so late? It's about to start...wait?!"

She abruptly stopped talking, looking at Yoona's face as if she had seen a ghost.

Jiang Che suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Taeyeon's voice was filled with shock:

"Hey! Yoona! You! You actually came without makeup?! Are you crazy?!"

As she spoke, she leaned closer, as if trying to confirm if this was some new type of "no-makeup" makeup effect:
"Today's a live broadcast! A live broadcast!! Your face... well, you're naturally good-looking... but you can't just let yourself go like this, can you?!"

Jiang Che's innocent smile froze instantly, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
Holy crap! Is this ever going to end?! I just managed to smooth things over with my manager, and now I've run into this money-grubbing guy, Tai!

It's all Yoona's fault! Yoona, you might as well stop calling yourself Little Deer Yoona and start calling yourself Little Pig Yoona instead!
Seeing that Taeyeon looked like she needed an explanation today, Kang Cheol's excitement about leaving the house completely vanished. Explain what? Let's just keep using our skills.

Jiang Che instantly transformed into a radiant smile, even brighter than the one she had shown in the van. Her doe-like eyes shone with an astonishing sincerity.

"Unnie!" Jiang Che's voice instantly became eight degrees sweeter:
"Your hair color today! Oh my god! What an amazing color!!"

She looks like an elf who has wandered into the mortal world, so incredibly beautiful! And your skin! So white, tender, and radiant! Milk-skinned Kim Tae-yeon! Fairy descended to earth Kim Tae-yeon! Peerless beauty Kim Tae-yeon! He spoke at a machine gun speed, showering her with praise as if it were free, his eyes so sincere that it was as if Tae-yeon were Venus descended to earth.

Taeyeon was completely stunned by his sudden and barrage of sweet words. She was first taken aback, then her eyes slowly curved into crescents, her lips uncontrollably curving upwards in a wide smile, and finally, she couldn't hold back any longer…

A series of slightly mesmerizing laughs erupted from the middle-aged woman:
"Aigoo! Hahaha! Hey! Yoona! Did you take the wrong medicine today or did you put on honey? Hahaha! Your mouth... hahaha..."

She laughed so hard she almost fell over, and she let go of Jiang Che's hand.

Jiang Che sighed silently: Yoona, Yoona, you've misplaced the defense points you've allocated to Taeyeon unnie!
After Taeyeon finished laughing, she looked at Yoona's bare face. Although she was in a great mood, her professional manners still made her wrinkle her nose.

"Going live without makeup is too risky! Even if Yoona is naturally beautiful, it's still not okay!"

As she spoke, she quickly pulled a lipstick from her bag.

"Come here!" Taeyeon grabbed Kang Cheol's chin without saying a word, her movements extremely practiced, giving Kang Cheol no chance to react, and steadily applied a few swipes of lipstick to his lips. "Tsk, perfect!"

She took a step back and nodded in satisfaction.

"Just a touch of color is enough! Our Yoona has a great complexion, she doesn't need any other makeup!"

Jiang Che was still in a daze from having lipstick forced on him, frozen in place. The sweet scent wafted from his lips, causing him to unconsciously purse them.

Seeing his silly expression, Taeyeon recalled Yoona's goofy laughter in the kitchen earlier, and felt both amused and exasperated. She raised her hand and smacked him on the bottom with a "smack."
"Hey! Snap out of it! The live stream is about to start! What are you daydreaming about? Let's go!"

The slap brought Jiang Che back to his senses. Watching Taeyeon's retreating figure, he subconsciously raised his hand to touch his lips: He, a man, had actually been raped? Not just his lips, but his buttocks too? This is outrageous!

The red light in the radio studio came on, and Kang Cheol sat next to Taeyeon. Although he had been using his skills a little too often, he still had to try his best to maintain the image of the well-behaved Yoona.

The first half of the live stream went smoothly. Taeyeon, with her years of experience in radio, had excellent control over the pacing. Kang Cheol only needed to nod and smile appropriately to indicate that he was listening.
Occasionally, she would chime in with a "Yeah~" or "Is that so~", her obedient demeanor making Jiang Che even mentally give himself a thumbs up: I'm definitely going to be the Azure Dragon Film Emperor!
But everything changed when the director signaled to connect to a viewer's hotline.

The call connected, and a male voice, tinged with a hint of probing and a certain obsession, answered:

"Taeyeon-ssi, Yoona-ssi, this question may be presumptuous, but I really want to know, what is the truth behind the 930 incident? Why did Jessica suddenly leave the group? Is it really true, as Jessica said, that she was forced out of the group?"

Taeyeon's smile froze instantly, and her eyes became complicated. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just pursed her lips, silently lowered her head, and unconsciously twisted her fingers together.

"Damn it! You know it's presumptuous of you to ask! Didn't you see I've become Yoona and you haven't asked me anything?!" Jiang Che was already itching to drag the other person out of the phone line and manually mute them.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Che's mind raced:
Yoona, I'm sorry again!
