Peninsula: Starting with a silly childhood friend!

Chapter 116 Tzuyu's First Kiss on Tiptoes?

While greeting Chou Tzu-yu, Liu Baiyuan also sat down and carefully examined the "black-hearted" chocolate in front of him.

Strictly speaking, her outfit is being "examined".

Perhaps because it was a holiday today, Chou Tzu-yu's outfit was completely different from what she usually wore at the company.

At that time, her clothing clearly showed a sporty style, prioritizing breathability and comfort.

But today she was dressed more casually, and she looked very energetic.

A pair of slightly tight jeans perfectly accentuated Chou Tzu-yu's tall figure and slender legs.

Her upper body was covered by a thin, long-sleeved crop top that was breathable while also effectively concealing her skin, allowing her to be protected from the harsh sunlight as much as possible.

Liu Baiyuan then noticed a striking feature: her skin, which wasn't originally very fair, was surprisingly plump and white on her stomach. Although it didn't have a muscular look, the plumpness made it look rather cute.

Not bad, not bad, this fish should feel nice to touch.

I'm in luck when I want to slack off from now on.

Chou Tzu-yu: I asked you which fish you want to touch! Neil Dorron?!

"It's clearly because you called out to Brother Bai Yuan too quickly. I was already very fast, okay?"

Upon hearing Liu Baiyuan's吐槽 (tu cao, meaning to criticize or complain), Zhou Ziyu's pink lips pouted slightly, showing a hint of helplessness.

You can be even faster next time.

Liu Baiyuan stepped forward, looking at the little girl in front of him with a slight smile. For some reason, seeing Zhou Ziyu always made him feel better.

Perhaps this is a sense of reassurance for his compatriots, or perhaps it's because he finds Chou Tzu-yu's face very pleasing.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ziyu showed a hint of disdain on her face and said to him, "Bai Yuan, sometimes going too fast isn't good either."

"6

"6

Upon hearing this, Liu Baiyuan opened his mouth slightly, his eyes widened, and he seemed both surprised and speechless. He was about to take back his previous thought.

Actually, sometimes seeing this "black-hearted" chocolate doesn't improve his mood; it might even make it worse. Zhou Tzuyu spoke in Mandarin, so Misamo and Nayeon couldn't understand her. Perhaps this was one of the few things that could comfort him.

Otherwise, his abilities as a man will be questioned once again, following in the footsteps of Bae Joo-bak.

No. Who is really corrupting the children?

Is that you, Sana Minatozaki?

Sana Minatozaki: What do you want? If not, can you just get lost?!

"Oppa, why did you call us over here?"

Seeing Liu Baiyuan chatting so naturally with Zhou Ziyu, completely ignoring her, made Hirai Momo feel a surge of jealousy.

She was clearly Liu Baiyuan's childhood sweetheart, not Zhou Ziyu!

Why is it that this oppa is so natural with Chou Tzu-yu now, he can even ignore her when she's right next to him!

Thinking of this, she squeezed past several people and came to Liu Baiyuan's side, looking at him with a smile and slowly asking him a question.

Yes, her oppa is still so handsome!

"Hmm... consider this a little test. I asked about your schedules and found out you're off today, so I thought I'd call you out for some fun."

Liu Baiyuan had already booked the venue, so he could simply lead the group inside. As for the manager, there was no way she could come in with Liu Baiyuan; not only would she be in the way, but he wasn't even familiar with her...

Soon, the group arrived at a room, and the TWICE members were amazed by the interior decoration the moment they opened the door.

A long platform was set up with all kinds of bows and arrows, and there were several arrow baskets filled with soft-tipped arrows. In front of it were long corridors, at the end of which was a paper target.

The walls on both sides are covered with the shadowy figures of various archers, which looks very intense.

They already knew this was an archery range when they arrived, but they didn't expect it to be so... luxurious.

"Come in and have a seat. Let me explain the whole story to you, and you'll understand what happened."

He called out to the people behind him, and after they all walked in and sat down on the row of sofas, Liu Baiyuan smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing big. To put it simply, this is just a personal test for me. As for why I chose archery, you can probably guess, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lim Nayeon was the first to raise her hand and ask, as if to answer quickly, "Is it because of this year's Idol Star Athletics Championships?"

"It seems Nayeon is quite smart."

"Haha, it's alright, Oppa~"

Lim Nayeon waved her hand coyly, but her face was full of smugness.

However, the other four people looked down on their eldest sister's "affected" expression. They were only fooling Liu Baiyuan because they knew that this was the result of the manager's idea.

However, they didn't expose her; the important thing now was to see what Liu Baiyuan had to say.

"I'll be going to the Idol Star Athletics Championships with you this time, and I'll also be in charge of your registration. So I want to test your archery skills and select the best ones to represent TWICE."

At this point, Liu Baiyuan suddenly seemed to remember something and asked the group, "By the way, is there any program you'd like to participate in? If you don't want to participate in archery, you can choose something else."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chou Tzu-yu raised her hand first and said to Liu Bai-yuan with a sweet expression, "Oppa, I want to participate in women's archery!"

Hearing Zhou Ziyu's words, Liu Baiyuan's lips couldn't help but curl up a little, and he smiled at her, "Oh my, it seems that we two are somewhat on the same page. Actually, I originally wanted you to participate in women's archery. Your height is an advantage for participating in this event."

Chou Tzu-yu and Liu Bai-yuan exchanged a glance, both seeing the joy in each other's eyes.

With Chou Tzu-yu taking the lead, the others also shared their thoughts. However, to his somewhat amusement and dismay, none of the people present chose to go for a run.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. It's not easy to have this kind of free choice opportunity, so who would bother to go running? Not to mention whether they'd get results, it would just be too tiring.

"Alright, you guys should stop now. This is the Idol Star Athletics Championships, not some kind of official sports meet. Don't even think about those things. It's not that I don't want you to go, the point is there isn't one."

Today's Idol Star Athletics Championships didn't have much to offer. For example, the wrestling and other events that Hirai Momo and the others mentioned were canceled for this year's Mid-Autumn Festival special. The only event that was still somewhat interesting was archery. Events that test physical abilities, such as wrestling, fencing, and high jump, were all gone. The only event left for the boys was soccer.

The remaining events in the girls' group—running and rhythmic gymnastics—are basically just for fun.

Running is popular because it's suitable for all ages and lacks visual appeal, while rhythmic gymnastics is popular because it's very selective; firstly, you need to have a good physique, and secondly, the movements need to be aesthetically pleasing.

"Peach, don't even think about wrestling. Although you did well at the beginning of the year, this event has been removed from the Idol Star Athletics Championships. Now you can only choose running, archery, and rhythmic gymnastics."

Liu Baiyuan smiled helplessly at Hirai Momo, shattering his silly little sister's fantasy.

He then said to the group, "If it were up to me, I would like Tzuyu to participate in women's archery. And if I remember correctly, Mina has a background in ballet, so rhythmic gymnastics would be perfect for her. As the team's main dancer, Taozi's coordination skills have been approved by Brother Zhenying, so she can also work on rhythmic gymnastics."

"As for Nayeon and Sana..."

These two are a bit difficult. It seems like there aren't any others suitable for them. How about having Sana Minatozaki form a Japanese team through rhythmic gymnastics?

"Nayeon."

Liu Baiyuan called her name, and the latter opened her cute little rabbit eyes and looked at Liu Baiyuan. Her slightly protruding front teeth seemed unable to be retracted, and a little bit of white edge was exposed, which looked very cute.

"Yes, Oppa~"

Liu Baiyuan looked at the rabbit lady in front of him, and then at the little dog beside her.

In terms of height, Minatozaki Sana is definitely a tiny bit taller than her older sister, Lim Nayeon. But the key issue is that this little dog isn't as stable as this big rabbit sister.

After weighing the options, Liu Baiyuan decided to trust Lin Nayan one more time.

"If you ask me, I actually think you're more suited to archery than Sana. Would you like to give it a try?"

"Inside!"

Lim Nayeon readily agreed, her face beaming with a smile, clearly showing her confidence in herself.

Of course, the most important thing is that he's handsome!

Hehehe, from now on, who will dare to say that she doesn't look like her older sister? This time, I'll show you the coolness that belongs to the older sister!

You little devils, I'll charm you all!

According to his group assignments, only Minatozaki Sana is left. Seeing that Mina and Momo were assigned to rhythmic gymnastics, Liu Baiyuan thought that Minatozaki Sana, whose dance skills are also quite good, might be able to achieve a good result there as well.

"For Sana, going to rhythmic gymnastics with Momo and Mina would actually be a good choice. It's a new event this time, and maybe if you Misamo go together, you'll get a bonus."

Sana Minatozaki pouted, looking somewhat reluctant. To be honest, she would rather participate in archery and rhythmic gymnastics, which sounded like a rather difficult event.

What if she doesn't do a good job and drags the team down?

Although this is for entertainment purposes, fans will still watch it. What if she sees that she dragged the team down and prevented them from receiving the honors they deserved? Then she...

Seeing Minatozaki Sana's worried expression, Liu Baiyuan couldn't help but smile and said, "There's no need to be so nervous. Didn't I just say that this is just my prediction?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he went to the archery area, picked up a compound bow placed in front of the platform, and said to the group, "I called you all here today for this purpose. I want to see who shoots better and more accurately so that we can decide which event she will participate in and give her more practice. Otherwise, she will just be left to fate on the platform."

Rhythmic gymnastics and running are things you can learn by practicing day after day. Even if you don't have any foundation, you can quickly get the hang of them. At most, the movements just aren't that difficult.

However, archery is more dependent on talent; the learning process is completely different for someone with talent and someone without talent.

A talented person can guarantee they won't miss the target even without practice, but for someone without talent, just shooting the arrow will take a lot of effort.

Upon hearing this, Chou Tzu-yu and Lim Na-yeon were the first to stand up. As the two people who were favored by Liu Bai-yuan and were interested in him, they were naturally the two who most wanted to prove themselves.

As for Mina, Momo, and Sana, they seemed more curious than serious.

Seeing this, Liu Baiyuan didn't say anything more. Since they didn't want to put in the effort in this area, he wouldn't force them.

However, if that's the case, then the rhythmic gymnastics program should be finalized.

As for the four remaining TWICE members who didn't make it, let's see how Tzuyu and Nayeon fared.

If neither of these two is up to par, then we'll consider replacing them from the remaining four. After selecting the archery team, the rest of the team will have to go straight to running.

Therefore, his attention was focused on Tzuyu and Nayeon.

At this moment, Chou Tzu-yu had already picked up a bow and arrow, and then another, and began to draw the bow and nock the arrow, just like she remembered from TV dramas when she was a child.

Meanwhile, Lim Nayeon watched as Tzuyu began to try drawing the bow, her face full of surprise. Her mouth slightly agape, she stopped her own movements and exclaimed, "Wow, Tzuyu can shoot arrows! So cool!"

Nayeon is someone who loves her youngest member no matter what.

Besides, Tzuyu is really cool!

"It's alright. I just watched some period dramas when I was little, and there were archery scenes in them, so I imitated it a little..."

Chou Tzu-yu explained somewhat shyly that she had never actually played it before; she was like someone who had only seen pigs run but never actually tried it.

Upon hearing Zhou Ziyu's words, Liu Baiyuan smiled faintly and said to her, "Not bad, there's really no major problem. Just relax your shoulders a little, and try to keep the bow and arrow in a straight line so that the arrow will shoot straight."

As they spoke, Liu Baiyuan gently placed his hand on Zhou Ziyu's arm and held her small hand with his other hand. The two of them moved closer and closer under the gaze of the other four people, to the point that it could even be described as intimate.

On the other hand, Chou Tzu-yu was also somewhat distracted. She had originally wanted to practice properly, but Liu Bai-yuan's behavior made it difficult for her to concentrate.

Because he was so close that I could feel his breath.

Looking at Liu Baiyuan's lips, so close yet subtly red despite not wearing lipstick, Zhou Ziyu seemed to lose control and stood on tiptoe in front of her four older sisters.
