Peninsula: My cheat code is unscientific

Chapter 58 Heartbeat
After Jiang Che finished shouting, seeing the shocked expressions on the faces of the two women and several fans, he immediately followed up with the second half of his sentence, shouting again:

"From now on, it's Girls' Generation!"

"Forever—Girls' Generation!"

The fans were clearly caught up in the excitement and joined in the chanting, their disappointment vanishing instantly. They obviously hadn't expected to be able to chant this slogan alongside the Girls' Generation members.

Both Yoo Jae-suk's and Haha's teams looked over in surprise, completely unprepared for Kang Cheol's team to suddenly unleash such a strong momentum.

"Third set! Ready—"

The whistle blew again!

"One! Two! Pull!!"

Jiang Che saw himself as a nail, firmly nailed to the back of the line, leaning back so far he was almost lying on the ground, veins bulging on his forehead, shouting commands at the top of his lungs, feeling the muscles in his arms howling and his palms aching from the rough ropes.

Taeyeon and Sunny stood in the middle of the line, their faces flushed red as they strained with all their might, completely disregarding any attempt to control their expressions, yet their eyes shone with an astonishing brightness.

Then a miracle happened—

The red ribbon in the middle of the rope, unlike the previous two times, did not move to the left or right, but instead stopped in the middle.

"Oh my? It stopped?" Yoo Jae-suk's surprised voice came from behind.

"Hey, they've gotten stronger?!" Haha also noticed something was wrong.

Girls' Generation fans, seeing a glimmer of hope, cheered even more enthusiastically. Meanwhile, onlookers and fans were drawn to this stark contrast. The previously scattered cheers began to converge.

"Yoona! Fighting!"

"Taeyeon! Fighting!"

"Sunny! Fighting!"

Fighting Girls' Generation!

It's unclear who started it, but the shouts began to unify, eventually merging into a deafening roar:

Fighting Girls' Generation!

Upon hearing this shout, Jiang Che felt a surge of power welling up from the depths of his body, and he roared:
"Ah—pull it over here!"

The entire team understood each other perfectly and, taking advantage of the rhythm of the audience, suddenly exerted their strength simultaneously.

The red ribbon actually moved a bit towards their direction.

However, the difference in strength is still a difference. After the red ribbon moved a short distance with difficulty, it was eventually pulled back little by little by Yoo Jae-suk's team.

"clang--!"

The bell rang again. Yoo Jae-suk's team won.

The whistle blew, and everyone instantly relaxed.

Jiang Che was the first to collapse from exhaustion, panting heavily as he fell backward to the ground. He felt as if his arms no longer belonged to him, and his fingers trembled uncontrollably. The other team members were in a similar state, slumped on the ground, too weak to even speak.

When Yoo Jae-suk, Lee Kwang-soo, and the others released the ropes, their first reaction wasn't to celebrate, but to look at Kang Cheol and the others in disbelief.

Yoo Jae-suk strode over and, instead of joking as usual, sincerely said:
"Yoona, really... I never expected this. You guys are really amazing. We almost lost."

Jiang Che waved to Yoo Jae-suk, indicating that he needed to catch his breath. He then looked up and saw Sunny lying on the ground without any regard for her image, struggling to give him a thumbs up. Her eyes were filled with some indescribable emotion.

Jiang Che couldn't help but wonder after seeing this:
"What's wrong with this woman again?"

He then turned to look at another woman, and the good news was that this woman finally stopped avoiding his gaze.

The bad news is that it's better to avoid it. Taeyeon was slightly out of breath, her hands on her knees, her gaze fixed on him, her eyes almost too bright, as if she wanted to devour him.

Taeyeon's undisguised, intense gaze made Kang Cheol feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, constantly on edge. Fortunately, the production team announced the final rankings and prizes at that moment. The prize was a donation to a coal bank in the name of the winning team.
As soon as the production team announced the end of filming, Jiang Che immediately felt liberated and thought he should ask Lin Yoona to give him more money.

But looking at Taeyeon's bright eyes and Sunny's thoughtful gaze, he inwardly groaned—these two formidable figures were still here. Jiang Che cleared his throat, trying to make his voice sound natural:
"Um... unnies, you guys go back to Seoul first? I plan to stay in Macau for another day and just wander around."

Just kidding, he finally got out for some fresh air, it would be a shame not to let him have some fun after all that fright! If he goes back, it'll be back to being confined to the room, so let's prolong this as long as possible!

"What?" Taeyeon asked, "Yoona, you're staying by yourself? Then I'll stay too."

Seeing this, Sunny narrowed her eyes and immediately replied, "Hey~ playing with just two people isn't fun, is it? I'll join too, unnie will keep you company."

She put her arm around Jiang Che's shoulder, her tone enthusiastic:
"Perfect! We can stay one night and see the night view of Macau!"

Jiang Che just wanted to know what this older sister ate to grow up like that, so he quickly tried to struggle:
"Ani ani! Unnies must be so tired, how could I trouble you to keep me company..."

“No trouble at all!” Sunny interrupted him, looking at Taeyeon:

"Taeyeon, you won't mind if I'm included, will you?"

Seeing this scene, Taeyeon could only nod helplessly.
"Well... let's do it together then."

Seeing that the two bigwigs had already finalized their agreement, Jiang Che could only accept it with tears in his eyes. At the hotel reception, Sunny cheerfully suggested:

"How about we book a suite? We can chat together."

Jiang Che felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this. What kind of international joke was this? Chatting was tantamount to self-destruction! He immediately spoke to the receptionist:
"Oh my god! Three rooms! Thank you! We need plenty of personal space!"

Taeyeon glanced at Kang Cheol, who seemed lost in thought, and then remained silent.

Sunny was much more direct, asking out of curiosity:

"Why? Don't we often sleep together? Yoona, when did you become so distant? Or is it that you just don't want to sleep with me?"

Jiang Che panicked for a moment, then quickly transformed into the obedient Yun:

"Ani, unnie, I don't want to be with any of you. I just... I haven't been sleeping well lately, and I'm afraid that tossing and turning will disturb your rest!"

Sunny stared at him for two seconds, seemingly wanting to say something more, but Taeyeon beside her grabbed her arm. Taeyeon shook her head at her, and seeing that the leader had spoken, Sunny didn't press further, indicating "OK."
After finally getting their room keys, Jiang Che rushed into his room, locked the door behind him, and then let out a long sigh of relief.

"Phew...that was terrifying..." He threw himself onto the soft bed, took out the spare phone Yoona had given him, and prepared to report Taeyeon's situation to the person in charge, and also ask if he could use this excuse to lie to Sunny.

The phone was answered after two rings, and Yoona's slightly cool voice came from the other end:
"Hey? Is it over? Did you get into trouble?"

"Am I that kind of person?" Jiang Che instinctively protested, then immediately got to the point:
"Yoona, let me tell you, Taeyeon... she seems to have made up her own logic!"

"Mo?" Yoona didn't understand.
