Peninsula: Starting with a silly childhood friend!

Chapter 110 The Uninvited Guest: MIMO's "Visit"!

Minami stared intently at the two figures by the second-floor window across the street, her face filled with disbelief.

If she wasn't mistaken, that was Liu Baiyuan, wasn't it?!

But why is he here, and who is that woman opposite him?!

A series of questions made Mina eager to know the answers.

Even an absurd thought crossed her mind. She turned to Hirai Momo, who was still examining the BMW, and asked, "Momo! Are you sure Nii-chan doesn't have a girlfriend?!"

???

Hirai Momo was momentarily stunned when she was suddenly asked the question. What happened? She was just in a BMW, and now she's talking about her girlfriend. Did the question change so quickly?

Despite her doubts, she answered truthfully, "No."

Of course Liu Baiyuan doesn't have a girlfriend; she's personally confirmed this, and Liu Baiyuan would never lie to her.

Since it didn't exist before, it's naturally impossible for it to exist again after I returned to Liu Baiyuan's side.

"Then... what happened?"

Minami raised her hand and pointed directly at the second floor across the street.

She didn't intend to hide it from Hirai Momo, because she had already decided to "go straight for him" later. She could tell that Hirai Momo had similar feelings for Liu Baiyuan, and in this situation, Hirai Momo was a good helper.

"What's wrong?"

However, what Mina overlooked was that, before she was provoked, Hirai Momo was practically devoid of intelligence...

She's already shown Hirai Momo the way, but this older sister still hasn't seen it...

Mina's lips twitched instantly, revealing a speechless expression. However, considering the current situation, she felt somewhat unjustified acting alone and needed to use Hirai Momo's childhood friend status. So, she patiently pointed to the second floor again and said to her, "On the second floor across the street, look at that person by the window, doesn't he look like Nii-chan!"

Ni-chan? Liu Baiyuan?!

Sure enough, the moment Liu Baiyuan was mentioned, Hirai Momo's entire demeanor changed. Her gaze sharpened, and her eyes, looking at the second floor across the street, seemed to be full of scrutiny.

Sure enough, she soon saw the figure by the second-floor window.

If Mina still has a chance to admit her mistake, then Momo Hirai has almost completely eliminated that possibility.

That expression, that gesture, that figure, and the person emanating a familiar feeling—who else could it be but Liu Baiyuan?!

"It really is him!"

Almost instantly, Hirai Momo shouted decisively that Liu Baiyuan recognized the person next to him.

I don't know if it's because Hirai Momo is a bit of a fool but lucky, or if she's really familiar with Bae Joo-hyun, but she actually recognized the woman opposite her.

"Mina, look at that person across from you... doesn't he look like Irene-senpai?"

Irene?

When Mina heard Hirai Momo's words, her head exploded.

Yes!

She said she felt a little familiar, and realized that it was none other than Bae Joo-hyun, the current "money tree" of SM Entertainment and the leader of Red Velvet!

"Walk!"

"Walk!"

The two were silent for a couple of seconds, then said the same thing in unison.

Unaware that he had been exposed, Liu Baiyuan was still chatting and laughing with Pei Zhufa on the second floor.

"Liu Baiyuan, how's the food at this restaurant?"

"Not bad. Although it's a little different from Chinese food in China, it's very faithful to the original."

It has to be said that the Chinese restaurant Bae Joo-hyun chose was pretty good. Although there were some inevitable localization adjustments, the taste was still pretty much the same.

It's much better than those Chinese restaurants on the Peninsula that simply cut corners to cater to local tastes.

At least this one still retains some of the original flavor, while those "one-cut Chinese dishes" have virtually no similarities except for the name.

For example, the black bean noodles on the Peninsula.....

When Bae Joo-hyun heard that Yoo Baek-won had said this, a hint of joy appeared on her face.

She found this place. Although Chinese food is delicious, she still prefers Korean food. As for why they met here tonight, it was of course because of the boy in front of her.

Secretly pleased with herself, she quickly focused her attention on the fried ribbonfish on the table, which was still steaming.

Her hometown is Daegu, an inland city where the aquatic industry is not very developed. As a result, she has loved aquatic products since she was a child, and even developed a skill for it: picking fish bones.

Anyone who frequently enjoys battling fish bones in their throat knows that fish bones are truly impossible to avoid.

Even if you remove the large bones, there are still small bones. And even if you remove all the small bones, there might still be broken bones in the fish meat.

Therefore, picking out fish bones is indeed a skill that is extremely practical.

Pei Zhufa placed the fish on her plate, and then, as if possessed, her hand holding the chopsticks began to manipulate them to break down the fish.

This scene also slightly shocked Liu Baiyuan. He had seen people pick fish bones before, but he had never seen anyone like Bae Joo-hyun who could do it without using her hands or mouth, just with chopsticks.

In no time at all, Pei Zhufa had broken down several large chunks of pure fish meat. It has to be said that this older sister is indeed quite skilled when it comes to food.

Just as Liu Baiyuan was about to praise her, he noticed that she hadn't stopped what she was doing. She picked up the largest piece of fish and, instead of putting it in her own bowl, placed it in Liu Baiyuan's.

"this...

""

Liu Baiyuan was caught off guard by this sudden turn of events. He looked at the fish in his bowl and then at Pei Zhuxuan in front of him.

"You try it first. When I was in the dorm, I often picked fish bones for Park Soo-young and Kim Ye-rin. I haven't been eating much lately, so I don't know if my skills have gotten rusty. If there's a bone in it, it'll be you who gets stuck, not me."

Bae Joo-fa awkwardly offered herself an excuse, her eyes darting around.

When Liu Baiyuan heard her words, he was first stunned, and then he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Noona, you've really got a good plan."

After making a few minor complaints, he put the fish meat directly into his mouth without any hesitation and began to chew it openly. Judging from his appearance, he didn't seem to care at all whether he would get a fish bone stuck in his throat.

Perhaps this also reflects their trust in Bae Joo-fa.

"Hmm~ It seems your skills haven't declined; there wasn't a single fish bone."

As soon as Liu Baiyuan finished speaking, Pei Zhuzi smiled, seemingly delighted by Liu Baiyuan's approval.

"Ding! Bae Joo-hyun's favorability +1!"

Progress bar: 3%.

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Liu Baiyuan also glanced at the other person. When he saw the slight smile on the other person's lips, he seemed to be infected as well, and his eyebrows and eyes gradually curved up.

I originally thought this older sister was a bit violent, but I didn't expect her to also have a bit of a tsundere personality.

Just as Liu Baiyuan was thinking this, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

This immediately caught their attention, and they both turned to look at the door. However, instead of a waiter, two girls walked in...

The two girls were wearing short sleeves and masks, so their faces were not visible, but Liu Baiyuan recognized them by their figures.

"Peach? Little penguin? What are you doing here?"

Liu Baiyuan's tone was full of surprise. Shouldn't these two little guys be in the dormitory right now? How did they end up here?

For some reason, Liu Baiyuan suddenly felt a sense of guilt, unsure whether it was because he had sneaked out to eat without paying attention to them, or because he and Pei Zhufa had met and been discovered...

When Hirai Momo and Mina saw that Liu Baiyuan recognized them, they slowly took off their masks, revealing their delicate faces. At just over twenty years old, their faces were full of collagen, a hallmark of their age.

"Of course I came to see you, Oppa! You and... I never expected you to cheat on me like that!!!"

The first to speak out was naturally Hirai Momo, but just as she was about to question them, her gaze suddenly fell on the huge pile of food on Liu Baiyuan and Pei Zhufa's table. Her little brain momentarily went blank, and when it restarted, her tone suddenly changed.

However, the words "stealing food" momentarily stunned Liu Baiyuan and Pei Zhufa. They both thought simultaneously, "The 'stealing food' she's talking about probably isn't the kind I'm thinking of, is it?"

Liu Baiyuan quickly pulled himself out of the "bug" in Hirai Momo's words and said to her with a helpless expression, "Well, there's nothing I can do. I just wanted to call you, but you can't eat. Won't you gain weight tomorrow if you eat?"

Sure enough, after hearing Liu Baiyuan's words, Hirai Momo's anxious mood was instantly cooled down, and she calmed down.

However, she still pouted, as if expressing her dissatisfaction.

Mina, who was standing next to her, was speechless. This older sister was too unreliable. Did she forget the purpose of their visit just because of a meal?

Can't you even look at Pei Zhufa sitting across from Liu Baiyuan, besides the food?

There was nothing she could do; since her teammates were unreliable, she had to rely on herself.

She first greeted Bae Joo-hyun: "Annyeonghaseyo, Irene sunbaenim, I'm Mina from TWICE."

"

Although Mina seems very well-behaved and sensible, if there were a fifth person in the private room at this moment, they would easily notice her little schemes.

Because she was standing next to Liu Baiyuan when she greeted her, Bae Joo-hyun, who was originally facing Liu Baiyuan, was subtly pushed out by Mina simply because of her position.

The main character of this dinner has now become the one who is "isolated".

After hearing Mina's greeting, Bae Joo-hyun stood up, nodded to her, and smiled, "Yes, Mina, you guys are celebrities. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say you reached your peak right from your debut. But we're in private now, so there's no need to be so polite."

Bae Joo-fa is actually quite easygoing. She doesn't really like the peninsula's set of mandatory rules, but she is also within those rules and can only choose to comply.

However, when she meets juniors or friends, she usually asks them to be more easygoing, which makes her feel more comfortable.

At this moment, Liu Baiyuan stood aside, looking at Mina, Momo, and Bae Joo-fa. For some reason, a bad feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.

He had a feeling that something big was about to happen today.

The very next second that he had this thought, Hirai Momo suddenly turned to Liu Baiyuan and said, "Oppa, I want to eat too..."

'

Looking at the food on the table in front of her, Hirai Momo's mouth watered uncontrollably. In the end, she couldn't hold back any longer and said to Liu Baiyuan.

However, when Liu Baiyuan heard her say this, he shook his head and said, "No, you have to film tomorrow. If you eat now, you won't be able to digest it tonight, and how will you film tomorrow?"

It's true that Liu Baiyuan would protect her, but that doesn't mean he would allow her to indulge. When Hirai Momo heard Liu Baiyuan's words, her face was full of grievances. You know, making a foodie look at a table full of delicious food, but in the end, she can only watch, is simply torture.

"Joo-hyun unnie is eating too, so why can't I eat...?"

When Bae Joo-beom heard Hirai Momo bring up the topic of herself, she smiled slightly and shrugged, saying, "Hmm...maybe it's because I don't have to record tomorrow..."

Upon hearing her words, Liu Baiyuan reached out and lightly flicked her forehead, saying, "There's a reason I had dinner with Irene. She helped me, so of course I had to treat her to a meal. As for you... let's talk about it after your event ends."

Hirai Momo clutched her forehead in pain. It wasn't that it hurt too much, but she was a little annoyed by the empty promise her brother had made.

After making a face at him, she sulked and ignored him.

"Help? What kind of help did Oppa Irene sunbaenim do for you?"

Mina isn't like Momo; she focuses on the key points. When she heard Liu Baiyuan say that Bae Joo-hyun had helped him, she noticed that the two seemed to be closer than she had thought.

When did the two of them meet?

Could it be the time Liu Bai went to SM and got his autographed photo back?

Mina's gaze was filled with intense vigilance, and her eyes seemed to be on guard against something as she looked at Bae Joo-fa.

"Shouldn't I be able to say?"

Liu Baiyuan hesitated for a moment, then asked Bae Joo-hyun. He had mentioned this to Hirai Momo before, but back then it was still uncertain. Now it was a done deal.

So he wasn't really sure whether he could talk about it publicly.

"It's okay, we're all family, there's nothing we can't talk about."

Bae Joo-fa smiled generously and said that Mina and Momo Hirai were both insiders in the industry, and Momo Hirai also had a relationship with Liu Baiyuan. She trusted Liu Baiyuan, so she was willing to give him face.

Upon hearing this, Liu Baiyuan nodded to Pei Zhufa, then turned to Mina and told her about writing a song and submitting it to SM Entertainment.

But somehow, after Liu Baiyuan finished explaining, a hint of doubt appeared in her beautiful cat-like eyes. She looked at Liu Baiyuan suspiciously and said, "So... Oppa, you wrote a song specifically for Irene-senpai, and it was used as the title track?!"
