Peninsula: Starting with a silly childhood friend!

Chapter 123 First Round of Clash!

Mina, who had been outmaneuvered, looked at Sana with a slight frown, as if she had choked on her words.

She didn't know when Sana Minatozaki found out; in her memory, she didn't recall Sana Minatozaki looking through her phone.

For a "homebody," a cell phone is practically her second life; carrying it with her at all times is a basic necessity. As the saying goes, "I'd rather lose my head than lose my phone!"

Then the problem arises: she doesn't remember ever putting down her phone.

She always tucks her phone under her pillow when she sleeps.

During the brief moment of hesitation that Mina hesitated, Sana Minato remained silent, and their silence caused the temperature in the room to drop sharply once again.

Only the roar of the hairdryer echoed in the room.

How did you know?

Finally, Mina, who was still a little puzzled, asked her question again. Upon hearing this, Sana shook her head to let the hairdryer reach the hair that was wrapped inside.

"Of course I saw it with my own eyes. When you were taking a shower, your phone received a message and the screen lit up. I happened to be sitting next to you at the time and noticed the screen saver on your phone."

"I'm fairly familiar with Liu Baiyuan, so recognizing him isn't difficult."

Sana Minato didn't hide anything from her. Since things had come to this point, it was better to be open about it.

When Mina heard her words, a look of realization appeared on her face.

So that's how it is. No wonder she didn't remember. But thinking about it, it makes sense; she only puts her phone down for a short while when she's taking a shower...

If I'm seen, it can only happen within this short period of time...

After finding out about her screensaver, Mina felt a little embarrassed. The two looked at each other and fell silent.

Of course, only Mina was embarrassed. On the other hand, Sana Minatosaki seemed quite relaxed, blowing her hair while her beautiful eyes darted around, seemingly lost in thought.

Perhaps she was also considering the relationship between Mina and Liu Baiyuan.

About half a minute later, Mina finally spoke again.

"Shatang, you...like Liu Baiyuan, right?"

"6

'

She knew Sana Minatozaki's personality. Don't be fooled by her usual carefree and smiling demeanor, which makes her seem heartless and easygoing.

But she also has her own sense of propriety, or rather, she has her own bottom line.

She would never joke about her partner; the only person who could make her say something like that is herself.

Upon hearing this, Sana Minatozaki did not speak, but silently put down the hair dryer in her hand, but did not turn it off, letting the roar of the hair dryer resound throughout the room.

Then, a thoughtful look appeared on her face, and she said slowly, "Do I like him... I don't know, but my feelings... do fluctuate because of his every word and action."

As she spoke, a slight smile appeared on her lips, and perhaps because she was talking about the other person, her eyes seemed to be filled with memories.

"Although we used to argue and play around a lot, strangely enough, I don't dislike him at all. In fact, he sometimes seems to be on the same wavelength as me. He understands what I'm thinking, and I think that's enough."

Sana Minatozaki recalled all the misunderstandings she had with him before, and now, looking back, she realized that it wasn't such a big deal after all.

If I had to put it into words, it did establish the dynamic between the two of them. Leaving aside what happened before, bickering with him has now become a passive skill for Minatozaki Sana...

She even felt that if one day the two of them stopped bickering, it would probably feel a little... strange.

Seeing this, Mina also made a plan in her mind. It seems that after getting rid of Zhou Ziyu, Bae Zhufa and Hirai Momo, she is about to face a new enemy.

"And you? Judging from your expression... you must like him, right?"

Sana Minato then asked Mina, "Using her phone as your screensaver, and you even went out with her before. This problem is much more serious than hers."

At most, it was just empty talk that led nowhere, and most importantly, she never went out with Liu Baiyuan!

But next time... maybe we can find another opportunity...?

When Mina heard Sana's question, she pursed her lips. But since Sana had already revealed her hand, there was nothing left for her to hide.

"Yes."

Mina's answer was very straightforward, even a bit concise, and this sudden directness surprised Sana Minato.

She had assumed that Mina would be a little shy when she asked her question, but she underestimated Mina's seriousness.

As someone who was just one step away from winning Liu Baiyuan's first kiss, her feelings for Liu Baiyuan were even more serious than those for Minatozaki Sana.

Of course, the main reason is that Mina sensed a faint sense of crisis from Sana Minatozaki.

Minatozaki Sana's passion was all too clear to her. Now that she had developed a slight attraction to Liu Baiyuan, looking at Minatozaki Sana's stunned expression, Mina repeated it again.

"I like Liu Baiyuan."

'

Sana Minato looked at Mina with a hint of disbelief in her eyes. What was going on with this little penguin?

She's usually an extremely reserved and introverted person, so why is she suddenly so direct today?

The latter stared back at her without any hesitation, and the scene became somewhat tense for a moment.

They had this "neither of them will give in" attitude.

Finally, it was Sana Minatozaki who spoke first: "Mina, do you know what you're saying?"

"certainly."

"We're idols who've only been around for a short time!"

"I know."

"How...how are you going to explain this to the members? What if the company finds out?"

"When you were at the archery range today, did you think about what to do about this?"

Despite her usually serious demeanor and quiet nature, Mina is quite the talker.

Sana Minatozaki is the complete opposite of her. Although she is very lively every day and seems to have something to talk about with everyone, she is just a pushover when it comes to arguing.

What is a "little dish"? It means a small thing that turns into a dish as soon as it's served.

Sana Minatozaki, whose questions had all been debunked by Mina, was now at a loss for words.

"It seems we've both fallen for the same person."

Mina glanced at the somewhat silent Sana Minato and pointed out the problem the two were currently facing.

"I....

'

Upon hearing this, Minatozaki Sana lowered her eyes slightly. In fact, she... hadn't decided yet whether she really liked Liu Baiyuan.

Her feelings for Liu Baiyuan were still somewhat complicated, although she was very happy when she heard Liu Baiyuan say that he liked her.

But a voice deep inside her, or rather, a subconscious reaction, was suppressing her joy and telling her that this was wrong.

Seeing her like this, Mina quickly understood what she was thinking and said bluntly, "Actually, whether you like Liu Baiyuan or not, it doesn't matter to me. To be honest, even if you say you like him now, I'm not too worried that you can actually steal Liu Baiyuan away. You were so proactive in confessing today, but Liu Baiyuan didn't agree. That shows that Liu Baiyuan treats you and me differently."

Mina's lips curled slightly as she chuckled and said something.

She was still quite confident in herself. Firstly, it was the confidence she gained from their trip to Namsan Tower in Seoul. Secondly, it was also because of a remark made by Liu Baiyuan today.

This afternoon, when Sana Minatozaki asked Baiyuan Liu about her relationship with Tzuyu, he said that they got along very well.

This proves her special place in his heart.

Although she spoke slowly and softly, every word seemed to resonate in Sana Minatozaki's mind.

Yes.

She had taken the initiative to confess her feelings today, but Liu Baiyuan didn't seem inclined to agree.

No agreement means no agreement!

She's Sana Minatozaki, TWICE's Sana! She confessed to someone and got rejected! If word gets out, she'll lose all face.

Even if she were certain that she truly liked Liu Baiyuan, was she confident she could win him over?

Just as she was thinking this, a sentence suddenly flashed through Sana Minato's mind, and this sentence gradually restored a bit of shrewdness to her slightly dim eyes.

"It's definitely different. After all, I asked him two or three times today, and he always said that I'm his favorite person!"

"6

'

Tsk, I forgot about that.

Mina's face froze instantly, and the confident look in her eyes seemed to be frozen in place.

As the saying goes, lies don't hurt, but the truth is the sharpest knife.

If she hadn't overheard, she could have easily dismissed that statement as a lie, but she did hear Liu Baiyuan say he liked Minatozaki Sana...

This made her feel somewhat jealous.

She wasn't a mind reader like Liu Baiyuan, so how could she know how much of his statement was true or false, whether it was a genuine expression or a lie to appease him?

But even just hearing it on the surface was enough to make her feel terrible...

Even so, Liu Baiyuan still didn't agree to your request, and it's still unknown how much of his statement was true and how much was false.

Mina quickly composed herself and organized a counterattack.

At some point, the simple questioning between the two began to subtly take on a hint of hostility.

Mina relied on her wit to retort to Sana, while the latter used her "advantage today" to counterattack Mina.

The two engaged in a back-and-forth exchange.

"Mitang, sometimes you don't need to worry about what's true or false. What matters most is what you say. What do you think?"

"Sometimes what you say isn't what you truly mean..."

Who knows the truth that can't be spoken?

"6

'

Sana Minatozaki couldn't help but smile as she realized she had managed to suppress Mina for a moment.

Sure enough, as the older sister, she still managed to keep her younger sister in check!

Mina gritted her teeth. Just as she was about to say something, the door to the room was suddenly opened from the outside, and the person who pushed the door open and walked in was Momo Hirai.

"What are you two doing here? Aren't you going out to play?"

Hirai Momo had a towel wrapped around her head because she had washed her hair, and if she didn't wrap it with a towel, the water would drip onto the floor.

Mina saw Hirai Momo walk in, then glanced at Minatozaki Sana beside her, picked up her phone, and went out.

Looking at that back view, there was even a hint of loneliness.

Of course, all of this is from Minatozaki Sana's own perspective, because Mina didn't go out to run away in a panic, but rather to prepare to use her phone to torture Liu Baiyuan.

Save up more ammunition for the next time.

Previously, it was because she didn't have such a sense of crisis. Although Hirai Momo and Chou Tzu-yu were also her enemies, these two enemies were not as proactive as Minatozaki Sana. One of them was an idiot and the other was a minor, so she and Liu Baiyuan were in a stage of taking things as they came and gradually improving their relationship.

But the situation is different now.

Judging from the way this puppy is acting, it's clearly about to get involved.

As Mina walked out of the room, Momo Hirai gave her a puzzled look.

Something about this little penguin looks a bit off.

She sat down in the spot where Mina had just been sitting, looking slightly puzzled, and waited for Sana to finish using the hairdryer.

"What were you two talking about inside just now?"

She asked Minatozaki Sana again, explaining that she hadn't heard their conversation, mainly because the room was filled with the noise of the hairdryer, which she found a bit too noisy. How could she have heard their conversation?

Sana Minatozaki picked up the hairdryer again, dried her half-dry hair, and said to Momo Hirai, "It's nothing, but... I do have something to ask you."

"Hmm? You go ahead."

"You've known Liu Baiyuan for so long, you should know what he likes, right?"

"Hmm...that's a tough question for me. I do know what he liked when he was little, but now...I'm not so sure."

Hirai Momo's words are true; what you like as a child may not be what you like as an adult.

However, Sana Minato didn't care much. She just wanted to know more about Liu Baiyuan, so she shook her head, handed the hairdryer to Momo Hirai, and said, "It's okay, just tell me. I mainly want to know... what Liu Baiyuan likes and dislikes."

Sana Minato took off her slippers and lifted her pair of delicate white feet onto the bed.

Perhaps because she had just taken a shower, Sana Minatozaki's feet were surprisingly fair.

Her pink nails, clearly defined toes, and slender figure made even her small feet appear somewhat thin, revealing a delicate bone structure that added a touch of charm to her small feet.

The specks of water on her little feet seemed to act as highlights, reflecting a faint glimmer under the room's light.

All of this seemed to mean nothing to Minatozaki Sana, but for some reason, Hirai Momo was suddenly drawn to the scene, staring intently at Minatozaki Sana's small feet, seemingly lost in thought.

However, what Hirai Momo didn't know was that Minatozaki Sana also noticed her strangeness. She also looked down at her feet, blinked, and a thought popped into her mind: "Could it be that Liu Baiyuan... likes feet?"
