Peninsula: My cheat code is unscientific

Chapter 31 Taeyeon, it's Taeyeon again.

"No...no! It's not funny at all!" Jiang Che immediately sat up straight and shook his head frantically. "I...I just think your pronunciation is very unique!"

"Something special?" Yoona slowly stood up, stretched her wrists, and a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips. "Give it to me!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Che shook his head so hard it left afterimages.

"Give it to me!" The next second, the pillow that Jiang Che was holding in his arms, trying to use as a shield, was snatched away by Yoona with lightning speed! Then, it slammed down on her!
"Let you laugh!"

"Make you stand out!"

"I'll give you four languages!"

"You can speak basic everyday phrases!"

"Give me a tongue twister!"

"Damn it! Those eight hundred standard-bearers!"

Yoona transformed into a human pile driver, and even the pillow danced in her hands, leaving afterimages.

Jiang Che wanted to resist, but he was in the wrong.

Yoona felt a little uncomfortable seeing that Kang Cheol didn't resist, and her raised hand ultimately didn't fall.

"Damn it..." she cursed under her breath, resigned, and sat back down on the sofa, picking up her iPad to continue watching "Eight Hundred Model Soldiers".

Jiang Che secretly glanced over and saw that Yoona's brows were furrowed, her doe eyes were filled with resentment towards knowledge, and her lips were moving silently, obviously she was competing with the "800 standard soldiers" again.

"What are you looking at!" Yoona didn't even look up, her voice muffled. "Come here! Keep teaching! And—" She suddenly looked up, her eyes sharp as knives, "Don't laugh again! I'll hit you every time you laugh!"

Jiang Che jolted, moved his buttocks closer, and plastered an extremely sincere smile on his face: "I won't smile anymore! I absolutely won't smile! I swear on... on my status as the future island lord!"

Yoona rolled her eyes at him and continued her painful study in a bad mood. A fine layer of sweat appeared on her forehead from the intense exercise, a few strands of hair clung to her temples, and her cheeks were flushed with a healthy blush.

Looking at her current state, Jiang Che, as if possessed, pulled out a tissue and naturally reached out to gently wipe the sweat from her forehead.

The moment the tissue touched her skin, Yoona froze. She abruptly looked up again, startling Jiang Che, who almost reflexively flashed his signature Locke Yoona smile.

"hey-hey…"

Upon seeing that smile, Yoona's heartbeat gradually calmed down. She slapped away the hand that was still resting on her forehead and looked at Kang Cheol with an expression as if he were an idiot. "Hey! Kang Cheol! Don't smile like that with my face on your head! Teach me properly!"
Jiang Che: "Understood!!"

So, for the rest of the time, Yoona repeated it over and over again, and finally, before going to sleep, she was able to recite fluently, "The artilleryman is afraid of bumping into the standard-bearer." As for the various bumping and collisions that followed, let's not go into that...

Yoona collapsed onto the sofa, feeling as if her head was filled with the battle between standard-bearers and artillerymen.

The next morning, Yoona, sporting dark circles under her eyes, prepared to leave. Jiang Che, seeing this, felt uneasy and couldn't help but lean closer and whisper, "Um... Yoona, what if someone actually asks you to recite that tongue twister... what should we do?"

Yoona glared at him fiercely. "What to do? Just let it be!"

That's what he said, but Jiang Che was still restless at home. He didn't even feel like looking at the graphs anymore. He kept checking online for news about Lim Yoona, and his phone was practically smoking from all the searching before a video that looked like it was filmed by a fan finally popped up:
[Exclusive Coverage! Yoona Shows Off Her Chinese Skills on Set!]

Jiang Che tapped the video with his finger.

In the video, fans surround Yoona, saying, "Yoona unnie!? Can you show us that tongue twister again?!" Yoona tilts her head slightly, acting cute, and says, "Ah~ that one~" She pauses, then pronounces the phrase "the artilleryman is afraid of bumping into the standard soldier~" perfectly, with clear and distinct pronunciation!

The first half of the sentence was delivered perfectly! Jiang Che's heart jumped into his throat when he saw this.

Then we saw Yoona continue in the Korean language in a natural and fluent tone:

"...Then, the model soldier said, 'Wow, there are so many people!' and they all happily ran away together!"

???

Jiang Che's eyes widened like copper bells.

What the hell?! "So many people, they just happily ran away!"

However, the fans at the scene didn't seem to notice anything amiss! The second half of the sentence was explained in Peninsular language, and coupled with her adorable expression, the effect was explosive!

[The barrage of comments instantly took off]:
—Ahhh! Yoona unnie is so cute!
—"She ran away happily" Hahaha, unnie is so cute!!
In the video, after Yoona finished speaking, she blinked and then waved to indicate that she would see him later.

Jiang Che stared at the phone screen for three seconds, then exclaimed with genuine admiration, "Wow, that's amazing... You can do that?! The Azure Dragon Film Queen truly lives up to her reputation!"

As evening approached, the sound of a key turning came from the doorway. Jiang Che immediately jumped up from the sofa, a fawning smile plastered on his face, ready to welcome the triumphant Yoona.

The door opened.

Yoona walked in, her movements a little slow. She didn't kick off her high heels as usual, nor did she toss her bag carelessly onto the sofa. She just stood there in the entryway, head slightly bowed, her expression unreadable, shrouded in a... low pressure.

Jiang Che's smile froze. Sensing something was wrong, he silently prepared to return the way he came.

Before they could take two steps, Yoona's voice rang out softly, "Kang Cheol, tell me honestly, besides the four languages, was there anything else that happened that day?"

Hearing this, Jiang Che panicked. Was he about to be exposed? "No...nothing happened? Oh right...what about Byun Baekhyun? Didn't we talk about it before?" He gave a well-behaved smile, trying to cover it up.

Yoona didn't reply. After taking off her shoes, she slowly sat down on the sofa, just staring at Jiang Che, who was pretending to be clueless. That look in her eyes seemed so familiar to Jiang Che. "Holy crap, isn't that the look Kim Tae-yeon gave me in the car?"

Jiang Che felt as if he were back in that car. Just as Jiang Che was about to give in and was about to confess, Yoona finally spoke, her voice low and gloomy: "Today, Taeyeon unnie... gave me strange looks all day long."

Jiang Che's heart skipped a beat.

“During the break,” Yoona continued, her tone as flat as if she were talking about someone else, “she suddenly came over and asked me… if I remembered who dropped the lollipop in the ‘Kissing You’ music video.”

"Huh?" Jiang Che was a little confused. He'd been watching others all day, and this was all they asked? Seriously, "Kissing You"? When was that song released? Lollipop? Dropping a lollipop? What on earth is this? Completely bewildered, he blurted out, "Why are you asking me this?"

Yoona gave him a disgruntled look: "I only figured it out afterward, but at the time I was completely dumbfounded. Who remembers something that happened in 2007?"

"Pfft..." Jiang Che almost choked on his own saliva, his eyes widening in disbelief. "Holy crap! 2007?!"

He was captivated by the story and couldn't help but ask, "So... how did you answer?"

Yoona sighed and rubbed her temples. "What else can I say? Since she specifically asked me about this, logically speaking, either she dropped it herself, or I dropped it. It's one or the other."

Jiang Che nodded repeatedly, finding the reasoning sound: "And then? Guess who?"

　There will be another chapter at 10 PM tonight, everyone, let's go!
