Peninsula: My cheat code is unscientific

Chapter 65 Confrontation
Just then, a female shop assistant approached, her face brimming with barely suppressed excitement, yet she still tried her best to maintain professionalism. Jiang Che saw through her immediately and simply asked in Cantonese with a smile:
Are they our fans?

The shop assistant immediately broke down, nodding excitedly and covering her mouth to keep from making a sound.

Jiang Che spoke in a conciliatory tone, his voice gentle:

"Then we'll sign your autograph, but please don't tell anyone where we're going later, okay?"

The shop assistant nodded frantically and quickly handed over paper and pen. Jiang Che signed smoothly, then very naturally passed the paper and pen to Taeyeon and Sunny next to him.

Taeyeon: "..."

sunny: "..."

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing the same speechless expression in each other's eyes:

'This person is really... handing it over so easily, huh? Has the airport assembly line moved to a high-end clothing store?' But they still cooperated and took the pen, signing their names one by one.

Jiang Che pointed to his own suit, then gestured to Taeyeon's, and said crisply to the shop assistant:
"I'll take both of them."

After saying that, he took out a bank card with 30 million won in it from his wallet and handed it over. Taeyeon, who was standing next to him, instinctively tried to stop him and prepared to pay the bill herself.

Jiang Che reacted quickly, gently putting his arm around her shoulder to stop her from speaking and moving.

Taeyeon choked instantly, forgetting the words that were on the tip of her tongue. She obediently shut her mouth and even subconsciously moved closer to Kang Cheol.

Sunny's eyes darted back and forth between Kang Cheol's arm around Taeyeon's instantly docile face, making the scene before her feel more and more like an idol drama.

Shouldn't I be standing outside the store instead of inside? Also, Yoona speaks Chinese, and now she speaks Cantonese too?

Jiang Che was completely unaware of the impact his casual action and words had on Sunny. After paying, he carefully wrapped up the two pieces of clothing.

He then casually asked the excited fan in Cantonese if there were any authentic local restaurants nearby, rather than tourist hotspots.

The shop assistant kindly gave him directions, and Jiang Che thanked him with a smile. He picked up his shopping bag and said to his two teammates, who were still processing the information:

"Let's go, unnies, it's all sorted out. I heard there's a nice restaurant up ahead, shall we go try it?"

After they left the store, Sunny casually leaned over and asked:
"Yoona, your Cantonese is so fluent?"

Jiang Che was a little flustered, but he remained calm and casually replied:
"Unnie, you don't understand, Cantonese is also Chinese. As the saying goes, if you understand one thing, you understand everything."

Upon hearing this, Sunny narrowed her eyes suspiciously and muttered to herself:

"Huh? Is this how Chinese is spoken?"

She felt something was off, but since she knew absolutely nothing about Chinese, she couldn't seem to refute it.

Afterwards, they found a tea restaurant based on the shop assistant's recommendation. When they sat down, Taeyeon naturally sat next to Kang Cheol, leaving Sunny alone opposite, looking quite lonely.

After the dishes were served, Taeyeon ate happily, and when she found something she liked, she naturally used her chopsticks to put it into Kang Cheol's bowl.

"Yoona, try this, it's delicious!"

Jiang Che looked at the extra food in his bowl, his heart skipped a beat for no reason, and he subconsciously glanced at Taeyeon before quickly looking away. Sunny, holding her chopsticks, looked at the two people opposite her and felt that although it was a movie for three people, she didn't even deserve a mention.

An invisible pink bubble seemed to fill the air, isolating her, an outsider, from the outside world.

She finally couldn't hold back any longer and spoke, her tone tinged with resentment:
"Taeyeon, why didn't you put some on my plate? I want to eat that too."

Taeyeon was enjoying her meal when she heard this. She looked up at Sunny blankly, her cheeks still puffed out, and asked instinctively:
"Huh? You want some too?" Her expression was innocent and naive, as if she didn't think there was anything wrong with her behavior.

Sunny was speechless upon seeing this scene. The differential treatment was too obvious! Or was Jin Xiaochou simply unaware?
Seeing this, Jiang Che quickly smoothed things over and hurriedly started eating:
"It's delicious, it's delicious! Everyone should eat, everyone should eat!"

Sunny felt extremely uncomfortable during the meal, as if she were the only one shining brightly beside her.

After dinner, the three of them passed by a high-end jewelry store, where Jiang Che was drawn to an exquisite five-pointed star necklace in the window. The design was unique, unlike ordinary jewelry; instead, it possessed an indescribable sense of mystery.

He stopped and glanced at him a couple more times, almost unconsciously. Taeyeon noticed and immediately leaned closer, pressing almost her entire body against his arm, trying to see where his gaze was falling.
"Yoona, what are you looking at...?"

Jiang Che felt as if in the blink of an eye, she was suddenly close to him from all sides, and her body stiffened almost imperceptibly. 'This sister is always like this, getting close without warning, catching you completely off guard!'

Sunny stood a short distance away with her arms crossed, and seeing this scene again sent alarm bells ringing in her mind. The more she thought about it, the more terrifying it became.
"If Girls' Generation's two major mountains are absorbed internally... not only will this news shake up Korean websites, it will definitely ignite the entire Asian entertainment industry!"

She felt like the sky was falling; she just wanted to retire peacefully!

So she immediately decided to just be Pikachu and, if she saw any signs of the two of them having any more contact, she would immediately unleash a 100,000-volt attack—no, I mean forcefully insert herself!
The subsequent shopping trip truly became a battle of wits for Sunny. Whenever Taeyeon and Kang Cheol got too close, Sunny would immediately squeeze between them.
Just as Taeyeon was about to take Kang Cheol's arm again, Sunny grabbed her hand and pulled it away.

"Taeyeon, you should take my arm!"

Once or twice was fine, but after it happened a few times, Taeyeon sensed something was wrong. She frowned and looked at Sunny, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction and doubt:
"Sunny, what's wrong with you today? Why do you keep getting in the middle of us?"

Sunny remained unfazed:

"I'm afraid I'll get lost! Macau is so big, what if I get lost?"

When Taeyeon heard Sunny's flimsy excuse, her gaze towards Sunny gradually turned cold.

Jiang Che suddenly felt the air pressure around him drop sharply.

He turned his head and his heart skipped a beat—the Taeyeon in front of him, exuding a powerful aura, was no longer the soft and affectionate girl who had been clinging to him just moments before.
This is clearly a switch to Empress Captain mode!
Sunny felt a little uneasy under Taeyeon's gaze, but when she caught a glimpse of Kang Cheol watching with great interest out of the corner of her eye, she immediately became furious. She abruptly turned to Kang Cheol and said:

"Hey! Yoona! Go to the bathroom!"

Jiang Che was taken aback by the sudden roll call and subconsciously replied:
"Huh? But I didn't say I wanted..."

Before he could finish speaking, he noticed the warning in Sunny's eyes was almost overflowing.

Another glance at Taeyeon's profile, which was almost frozen with coldness—the atmosphere was clearly off. These two definitely had something to talk about in private, but didn't want to involve him.
