Peninsula: Starting with a silly childhood friend!

Chapter 104 Zhou Ziyu's idea... *kiss*?!

Ok?

Liu Baiyuan was lying comfortably on the bed, but when he saw the message from Zhou Ziyu on his phone, he immediately sat up, his face showing indescribable surprise.

How did this "little black girl" know that she hugged Mina downstairs?

Was it said by Mina, that little penguin? Or...?

Liu Baiyuan frowned slightly, his hands hovering over the phone screen, unsure how to reply.

If you ask her how she knew, wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting it?

But if you don't admit it, then the other person has already told you the time and place, so it's obvious that they know.

At this point, stubbornness only makes it easier for others to question you; isn't this just blatantly trying to cover something up?

For a moment, he was in a dilemma.

But before he could type a reply to Chou Tzu-yu again, she sent him another message: "Bai Yuan oppa~ Did you forget that Kakao has read receipts?"

Pretending not to see it won't work~

hiss...

When Liu Baiyuan saw the message from Zhou Ziyu, he subconsciously glanced at the side of the message Zhou Ziyu had just sent. Sure enough, there was a line of small print there that read "Read".

"Tsk, who invented this feature? It's completely useless to the people!" Now he can't even pretend to be stupid anymore...

"But ultimately it's his own fault." He forgot about this. He should have known better than to open Chou Tzu-yu's chat box. That way, he could have seen her messages on his homepage without them being marked as read.

Miscalculation!

"No, I just went to get some water."

Liu Baiyuan initially gave a vague answer, but then his mind raced.

He decided to be a little more open and honest; since she already knew, there was no point in hiding it.

It would be better to be a little more honest and strike first!

"But I did hug Mina, how did you know?"

Liu Baiyuan planned to ask Zhou Ziyu how she knew.

"Of course I saw it, brother. Have you forgotten that our second-floor windows face the alley entrance?"

Upon seeing Zhou Ziyu's reply, Liu Baiyuan immediately recalled the time when he lived on the first floor and the deliveryman stood at the door.

The main thing is that after moving into a high-rise building, he no longer had this concern, and over time he gradually forgot about it...

When he saw Chou Tzu-yu mention it, he immediately remembered it again, but he was speechless.

Gan! You've forgotten about that too!

"Oh, I see."

Liu Baiyuan replied in a calm tone, as if he had just witnessed something insignificant.

"So why did you hug Mina, brother?"

In TWICE's dorm room, Tzuyu lay on the bed with her long legs crossed, her bare feet intertwined, her eyes crinkling with a smile.

Strangely, although the slightly upturned corners of her mouth looked like she was smiling, there was a hint of... cunning.

"Chaeyoung, look, what happened to Tzuyu this time?"

Kim Da-hyun, who was on the lower bunk of the double bed, asked Son Chae-young, who was on the upper bunk. Upon hearing Kim Da-hyun's question, the latter turned her head in confusion to look at the single bed.

"I don't know, but lately I seem to see Tzuyu chatting with someone quite often, but I haven't paid much attention to it."

This wasn't the first time Son Chaeyoung had seen Chou Tzuyu happily scrolling through her phone, but she didn't mind, as it was her privacy.

"I wonder who Tzuyu is chatting with..."

Kim Da-hyun craned her neck curiously, but there was an aisle between them. Unless Kim Da-hyun turned into a giraffe, seeing Chou Tzu-yu's phone screen from this angle was practically a pipe dream...

"Wait, be careful what you say. This wasn't my initiative; it was hers!"

Liu Baiyuan promptly spotted the flaw in Zhou Ziyu's words and corrected it, explaining that while "active" and "passive" may seem similar, their meanings are completely different.

"But it's not a big deal. In the end, it's all because of that director today. Mina was grateful that I stood up for you, so she hugged me as a small token of her thanks."

Liu Baiyuan gave both him and Mina a reason, and the reason... was actually quite good.

Although it still feels somewhat forced, it's better than nothing.

As Chou Tzu-yu lay in bed, she saw the message sent by Liu Bai-yuan, and her pink toes, which were like lollipops, instantly twitched and curled up into a ball.

Even her stunningly beautiful face, which resembled Nuwa showing off her skills, wrinkled slightly, revealing a hint of doubt.

Even so, her face is still very beautiful.

But soon, her somewhat puzzled expression changed from doubt to understanding, and she even curled her lips into a meaningful smile, muttering to herself, "Since this is my brother's 'rule,' then I have no choice but to respectfully comply."

Chou Tzu-yu's little brain raced, and another idea popped into her head. She immediately came up with a brilliant idea!

"An idea that would make Liu Baiyuan shoot himself in the foot."

Chou Tzu-yu and Liu Bai-yuan didn't talk about this topic for long before ending the conversation by saying they needed to sleep.

When Liu Baiyuan saw Zhou Ziyu say she wanted to sleep, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally managing to get away with it.

This cunning little fishman is playing too dirty.

They were having a nice conversation, then suddenly he bared his fangs and caught you completely off guard.

Kakao's read-mark system left him with no way to avoid it, not even pretending not to see it.

"This little devil, I'll teach her a lesson later." Although Liu Baiyuan said this, his expression didn't seem angry; instead, it had a hint of spoiled indulgence.

However, just as he finished dealing with Chou Tzu-yu, another message came through on his phone.

"Are you there?"

Liu Baiyuan looked at the chat box on the homepage that had jumped to the top spot because of the message he received, and a hint of helplessness flashed across his face.

"This older sister... she was born in '91, not '19,' right? How come she's only three years older than me, but the way she talks to me is..."

It's not hard to guess who Liu Baiyuan is, since he calls her "sister" and even gives her his contact information.

Yes, the person who sent the message was Bae Joo-beom from SM Entertainment.

As for Liu Baiyuan's complaint, it was naturally about her somewhat outdated way of asking questions. These days, who starts a conversation with "Are you there?"?

"Yes, Anuna, what's wrong?"

Although he complained, Liu Baiyuan didn't really dislike this older sister; on the contrary, he had a good impression of her.

Although there was a slight misunderstanding at first meeting, she was much more composed than contestants like Sana Minatozaki who would directly hurl insults.

Immediately, Pei Zhufa sent another message.

"The company called a meeting today, and I heard your song."

Ok?

When Liu Baiyuan saw Pei Zhufa's letter, he was slightly taken aback, but then he immediately understood that Red Velvet was selecting songs before their comeback.

However, it has to be said that Red Velvet is still very favored by SM Entertainment; they are often involved in things like song selection.

"Judging from the way you contacted me in such a hurry, you must have been selected?"

He replied jokingly to Bae Joo-hyun, who seemed to have been waiting for his message and immediately replied: "It's hard to say. The company only said they would consider our choices, but how much they would consider or how much weight they would take is unknown. However, all five of us chose your song."

Red Velvet's choice is not surprising. Bae Joo-beom, needless to say, had already heard the song and was very satisfied with it.

As for why the other four people chose Liu Baiyuan's songs, it was mainly for comparison. As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. The other songs are not bad if listened to separately, but the problem is that they are directly put together for comparison.

Compared to Liu Baiyuan's song, the other songs immediately paled in comparison.

The other four members of Red Velvet aren't stupid either. Since it concerns their comeback, they naturally want to choose a song they like and that sounds good.

"Then I'll thank Nuna in advance."

Liu Baiyuan thanked Pei Zhufa. All five members of Red Velvet chose the same song, which was quite significant.

His politeness made Pei Zhufa on the other end of the phone smile unconsciously. Her slender hands slowly typed on the phone screen and replied, "Is a verbal thank you enough? I've done you such a big favor, it wouldn't be too much for you to treat me to a meal."

"Of course! You decide the time and place, and I'll treat you to whatever you want to eat."

Liu Baiyuan certainly wouldn't be stingy with the cost of a meal. After all, the food itself was secondary; as long as he could slightly improve Pei Zhuxuan's favorability towards him, the meal wouldn't be a waste, especially since this older sister's progress bar was currently at the very bottom of everyone else's...

After chatting with Bae Joo-hyun for a while, Yoo Baek-won slowly fell asleep.

Before you knew it, the next morning dawned as usual. The amazing thing about your biological clock is that no matter when you go to sleep, it will wake you up at that time.

However, it is clear that Sana Minatozaki has not developed this good habit.

"Unnie, wake up!"

In TWICE's dorm, Tzuyu was squatting in front of Sana Minatozaki's bed, waking her up.

"You guys go ahead, I'm going to sleep for another five minutes..."

Sana Minatozaki wanted to try and negotiate with Tzuyu, but she forgot one thing: Tzuyu wasn't someone who was so easy to talk to...

"Unnie, the early bird catches the worm. If you can't get up in the morning, you'll be listless all day. If this continues, you'll die very quickly, Unnie..."

"6

'

Hearing this, Minatozaki Sana slowly opened her eyes with a helpless expression. Sometimes, the maknae's words gave her a feeling of being forced.

Listening to it will be painful, but not listening will be even more painful.

However, Sasa is not one to give up easily.

"Tzuyu~ Unnie is out of energy right now and needs Tzuyu's help~"

Sana Minatosaki said to Tzuyu in a coquettish tone, and upon hearing her words, the latter reached into the blankets without saying a word to help her get up.

But what Chou Tzu-yu didn't expect was that this was exactly the moment Minatozaki Sana had been waiting for!

With the help of Tzuyu lifting her back, Minatozaki Sana sat up abruptly, then gently wrapped her arms around Tzuyu's neck, tilted her head, and gave her a big peck on the cheek.

mua

~

A triumphant Sana Minatozaki's face immediately lit up with a beaming smile, and she looked at Tzuyu with obvious affection.

The latter was also caught off guard by Sana Minatozaki. She didn't expect this older sister to want to kiss her so early in the morning without even telling her beforehand. It was obvious that she was going to ruin her reputation!

Oh no, will my brother think she's unclean?

"Hey~ unnie, what are you doing~"

Chou Tzu-yu looked a little unhappy, but Minatozaki Sana felt refreshed!

Nothing could sober her up more than letting her kiss her own little maknae.

"Hehe~ It's not the first time, what's wrong with letting unnie give me a kiss~"

Sana Minatozaki shook her little head, her face beaming with joy.

However, she didn't continue teasing her, but quickly got up to change her clothes and wash up.

They don't need to wear makeup today because it's a music video shoot. When they arrive on set, a makeup artist will do their makeup according to the requirements of the music video. They just need to apply some skincare products.

Seeing her older sister's unreasonable behavior, Chou Tzu-yu pouted slightly. She really couldn't understand why her older sister always tried to ambush her.

She's not the only one like this; girls like Lim Nayeon, Yoo Jeongyeon, and Park Jihyo are all like this.

However, Sana Minatozaki is just one of the best among them.

After packing up, the TWICE group headed towards yesterday's recording studio, but Liu Baiyuan didn't go in the same direction as them. Instead, he drove towards JYP.

Upon arriving at the fourth floor of JYP, Liu Baiyuan looked at the door of the conference room where he had been notified in advance, and his expression instantly turned serious.

After tidying himself up, he slowly pushed open the door.

Park Jin-young, Director Kim, Director Lee, and several others whom I had met at a previous meeting when I was a director, were all present, indicating that this meeting was of great importance.

Just as Liu Baiyuan was about to step inside, he suddenly noticed that there was another person in a corner of the conference room.

It's that same director who acted like he owned the place in the studio yesterday...

Liu Baiyuan glanced at him, his eyes filled with indifference. After just one look, he went straight to the seat next to Park Jin-young and sat down, which also reflected his status as the second largest shareholder of JYP.

"Alright, everyone's here, let's begin this shareholders' meeting immediately."

Park Jin-young sat in the main seat, his gaze sweeping over the people below. However, as soon as he uttered those words, Director Lee's hand suddenly clenched tighter...

"You may not be entirely clear on the purpose of this meeting, so I want to emphasize it: the purpose of this meeting is to address a deeply concerning and egregious incident—nepotism within the company!"

Park Jin-young spoke very harshly because he had followed the clues and investigated the director yesterday, only to uncover something he hadn't expected...
