Peninsula: Starting with a silly childhood friend!

Chapter 118 "I Like You"

Sana Minatozaki's voice wasn't loud; in fact, it was even quieter than Mina's.

Mina: I've already been very loud!

This was only because Liu Baiyuan was completely focused, and he was close enough to her; otherwise, he might not have been able to hear her clearly.

However... after he clearly heard what Sana Minatozaki said, he had a feeling that he would rather not have heard it at all.

This topic... no matter how you answer it, it's a dead end.

"What do you mean by that?"

Liu Baiyuan pretended to be confused and asked her a question in return.

But since Sana Minatozaki was determined to get to the bottom of things, she wasn't going to let his few words bother her. So she asked again, "Literally, Tzuyu or Mitsuko, Oppa, who do you like more?"

Sana Minatozaki slightly curled the corners of her lips and narrowed her eyes as she glanced at the other four people on her left. She was on the far right, so she didn't need to worry about anyone being there. Seeing that the other four hadn't noticed them, she lowered her voice and said to Liu Baiyuan, "Oppa, don't worry, I won't tell anyone. On the contrary, if you tell, I can help you."

Sana Minatosaki winked at him, her expression somewhat playful at first glance.

But what she said made Liu Baiyuan feel like she was a devil from hell.

"What are you saying? Ziyu is still young, not even an adult yet. She was just playing around like a child. Why did you take it so seriously?"

Before he could even reply, he spoke again, "And Mina... it's just a lock screen, what does that prove? Besides, how can you be sure that's me?"

Liu Baiyuan's mind raced. He consciously ignored Minatozaki Sana's last words, "help," otherwise he would have fallen into her trap.

Seeing that Liu Baiyuan was still trying to deny it, Sana Minatozaki became a little angry and immediately said, "Isn't that you? I can tell!"

Liu Baiyuan shrugged, not engaging in further verbal sparring with her. He had seen that photo before; it was simply a picture of her back. Those familiar with him could indeed tell, but as the saying goes, a picture of someone's back doesn't prove anything, and Mina didn't even get a picture of her face.

So Liu Baiyuan felt somewhat emboldened and said to her, "Then show me the evidence."

"you!"

Sana Minatozaki bit her lower lip lightly, looking somewhat exasperated. She had considered that Liu Baiyuan would admit it directly, that he might try to make a fool of himself or argue unreasonably, and that he might try to evade the issue.

But she never expected Liu Baiyuan to act like a scoundrel.

Since that's the case, then she'll come too. Isn't that just being a scoundrel? She might not be good at other things, but she's good at this.

"I don't care, Ziyu kissed you, and Mitang patted you, so you must have done something with both of them. You have to choose one!"

"Tzuyu?! Or Mitang?!"

Upon hearing Sana Minato's words, Liu Baiyuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly, appearing somewhat troubled.

How can we choose? Choosing anyone would be troublesome, unless... we choose an outsider.

Chou Tzu-yu and Mina are definitely not candidates.

How about... choosing Hirai Momo?

Liu Baiyuan's gaze fell on that silly peach standing next to Mina, holding a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, stretching her neck out while hunching her back, trying to shoot the arrow but unable to draw the bow, and even closing her eyes incorrectly.

Actually, Hirai Momo is also a good choice. Given his relationship with Hirai Momo, it's perfectly reasonable for him to say that he likes her.

"I like flatness..."

But just as he opened his mouth, Sana Minatozaki, as if she had read his mind, said to him, "Don't mention Momo Zero!"

"On what grounds?"

"Because I asked about Tzuyu and Mitang!"

"6

'

Liu Baiyuan was speechless for a moment, looking at the little dog in front of him, and for the first time he felt that she was so difficult to deal with.

"Happy 10th anniversary of your debut. May you return and still dance to 'Mr. Tai'."

Liu Baiyuan uttered a vicious curse at her, which made Minatozaki Sana grit her teeth and look at Liu Baiyuan with resentment.

This scoundrel's mouth is getting sharper and sharper these days; he's practically the second Chou Tzu-yu.

Chou Tzu-yu: Huh? No, unnie, why are you swearing like that?

"Say it!"

Seeing that Minatozaki Sana was pressing him closer, Liu Baiyuan looked at the girl in front of him and said in a desperate move, "Since you don't believe me even when I tell you the truth, then I don't like either of them. I like you."

"6

'

what?

Sana Minatozaki was stunned for a moment. What kind of answer was that?!

"What did you say?"

Perhaps due to the shock, Sana Minato's voice involuntarily rose a few decibels before returning to its normal volume. Fortunately, the others didn't pay much attention to her, simply glancing in the direction of the two before continuing their practice.

At first I didn't think much of it, but after shooting a few arrows, I found that this sport is actually quite fun.

Of course, Hirai Momo didn't think so.

Because she hasn't fired a single arrow yet...

"Keep your voice down. Are you sure everyone can hear you?"

Looking at the bewildered puppy in front of him, Liu Baiyuan couldn't help but reveal a smug smile. The puppy's eyes were full of distrust. This big jerk must be lying to him. What an old liar!

"I said the person I truly love is you, did you hear me?"

"fraud."

"If that's how you insist on thinking, then there's nothing I can do about it."

Liu Baiyuan shrugged. Minatozaki Sana looked at his nonchalant attitude and gently gritted her back teeth. This guy is really infuriating.

Although her eyes were full of distrust, and she knew that this jerk was just being unreasonable, for some reason, hearing these words made her feel a little flustered.

A feeling of joy that was extremely inappropriate at this moment welled up in her heart, leaving her somewhat at a loss for words.

"I don't believe it!"

Sana Minato's cheeks flushed slightly, but fortunately the room was cool and the blush was inconspicuous, so Liu Baiyuan didn't notice anything unusual.

However... although Minatozaki Sana was being stubborn, don't forget, Liu Baiyuan is a man with a system. The moment she finished speaking, the mute system in Liu Baiyuan's mind rang out again: "Ding! Minatozaki Sana's favorability +1!"

Progress bar: 6%.

Hearing that Sana Minatozaki's favorability rating had increased a little, Liu Baiyuan finally smiled as he looked at the puppy again.

Is he saying one thing but doing another? That's interesting.

Seeing that Sana Minatozaki was ignoring him, he was happy to have some peace and quiet; at least this ordeal was over.

He turned to look at Tzuyu and Nayeon again, and seeing that they were also having a great time practicing by themselves, he went to sit down on the sofa and prepared to take a break.

He summoned the mute system in his mind and began to examine it after a long time.

He's been quite busy these past few days and hasn't had much time or inclination to look around in the evenings, so this is a good opportunity to take a good look at the surge in popularity he's gained over this period.

As soon as Liu Baiyuan opened the mute system, he immediately noticed that everyone's progress bars were almost completely different from before.

Hirai Momo is still at the top, ranking first with a 23% favorability rating.

Surprisingly, the second place went to Mina, the aloof little penguin, which surprised him a little.

I didn't expect this little penguin to have gotten second place in terms of popularity.

When he shifted his gaze downwards again, he was stunned for a long time by Zhou Ziyu, who was located south of Mingjing and whose favorability rating had reached eleven points.

Chou Tzu-yu has jumped to third place?

Wasn't she just "captured" a while ago when she was recording a music video?

"This 'dishonest' chocolate has increased in price a bit too quickly..."

Liu Baiyuan muttered something under his breath, but since the mute system had already shown it, he had no choice but to believe it.

The remaining two need no further explanation; they are Minatozaki Sana and Bae Joo-fa.

However, their favorability ratings were remarkably similar, both at 6%.

However, probably because Sana Minatozaki had just added a little bit, she was now on top of Bae Joo-fa, becoming the fourth person.

After watching the progress bar, Liu Baiyuan's gaze also fell on the progress bars for Mina and Tzuyu.

Both of them have a red dot on their progress bars.

This means they haven't claimed their binding rewards yet.

However, Liu Baiyuan wasn't in a hurry at the moment. There was nowhere to use these songs now, so he might as well leave them here for the time being.

After glancing at the progress bars of these people, Liu Baiyuan suddenly seemed to have thought of something. He put away the panel and looked at Lin Nayeon, who was still drawing her bow and nocking an arrow.

"Nayeon, come here for a second."

"Inside."

Hearing Liu Baiyuan's call, Lim Nayeon immediately came to his side and asked, "What's wrong, Oppa?"

Liu Baiyuan didn't reply. Instead, he picked up his coat, took out a photo from his pocket, and said to her, "Here, the autographed photo I promised you. I got it from SM. Here you go."

When Lim Nayeon heard Liu Baiyuan's words, she was slightly taken aback. She looked at the photo in her hand and sure enough, there were nine people in the photo. They all looked beautiful, which made her feel at ease.

Wait, nine people?

Lim Nayeon blinked. She couldn't believe her eyes; something seemed off about the number of people.

I counted them again carefully, and sure enough, there were nine people.

Looking at the outfits again, something's not right, this isn't Girls' Generation's comeback from last year.

Liu Baiyuan seemed to have guessed Lin Nayeon's thoughts, and said with a slightly embarrassed tone, "Ahem, well... when I went there that day, they didn't have the new version, so..."

"It's okay, Oppa. The nine of us from Girls' Generation are an unforgettable memory."

Lim Nayeon smiled. Although she didn't know what had happened to Girls' Generation, for fans like her, a nine-member Girls' Generation was clearly more in line with the memories of their era than an eight-member one.

Liu Baiyuan nodded. Since she didn't mind, he didn't care either.

Anyway, this autographed photo was obtained by Bae Joo-beom; he didn't contribute anything, so naturally he wouldn't have any objections.

Lim Nayeon returned to the archery area with a radiant smile, carefully placing the autographed photo in her small bag before continuing her practice.

Her actions were clearly witnessed by the other four.

However, they didn't say much, or rather, everyone present already had autographed photos of Girls' Generation given to them by Liu Baiyuan, so this wasn't surprising to them.

Having finished his business, Liu Baiyuan watched the others shoot arrows and suddenly felt a little itchy to join in.

He stood down in the empty spot next to Tzuyu, reserving the last place, and then picked up the composite bow placed on the table.

He hadn't played this sport in a long time, so much so that he was a little rusty when he picked it up again.

But before he could even try his hand, Chou Tzu-yu, standing to the side, arrogantly raised her little head and said to Liu Baiyuan, "Oppa, want to have a match?"

Hearing her words, Liu Baiyuan was stunned. Had he heard her correctly? This "black-hearted" chocolate wanted to challenge him?

Perhaps it was the intense, questioning gaze of Liu Baiyuan that made Zhou Ziyu blush slightly, and she said to him, "I'm really good now, okay? Look at me, two arrows, seven rings!"

Chou Tzu-yu slightly turned her body to give way to her small screen. Liu Baiyuan also looked over, and sure enough, there were two arrows with seven rings, one arrow with six rings, and three arrows with four rings on Chou Tzu-yu's target.

Although the results weren't particularly outstanding, for Chou Tzu-yu, who had only been practicing for about half an hour, this was certainly something to be proud of.

"Alright, alright, let's give it a try and see if I, this half-teacher, am better, or you, this student, are better."

He had no reason to refuse this request.

"Each person shoots five arrows, and the winner will be determined by the total score. Do you understand, Ziyu?"

"Inside!"

The two didn't lower their voices as they had when chatting with Sana Minatozaki earlier, so the other four could hear their conversation clearly. When they heard that the two were going to have a showdown, their human instinct for watching the drama unfold instantly kicked in, and they all gathered behind the two.

"Tzuyu, you can do it!"

"Go maknae! Don't let oppa win!"

"6

Hearing these words, Liu Baiyuan was speechless. He said to the group, "I said, aren't you guys going too far? Nobody's cheering me on?"

No.

"6

'

Although he has already explained what happened when Tzuyu kissed him, they clearly don't intend to forgive him so easily. Their current coldness is part of their counterattack.

Liu Baiyuan glared at the others, then composed himself and stared intently at the target in front of him. He slowly drew an arrow, nocked it, and aimed the arrow directly at the bullseye.

boom!

The moment he released his grip, the taut bowstring snapped, and the arrow shot rapidly toward the target. The next second, the arrow was already on the target.

only...

Although Liu Baiyuan's tactics seemed incredibly aggressive, the results were...

"Pfft~"

Suddenly, someone in the previously quiet room couldn't help but burst into laughter, and then, as if it were an unstoppable burst, everyone started laughing.

Liu Baiyuan looked at the people around him, his face growing increasingly dark, almost as dark as Zhou Ziyu's.

Chou Tzu-yu: ? ? ?
