Peninsula: Starting with a silly childhood friend!

Chapter 127 Sana Minatozaki's puzzling sexual orientation

Releasing his embrace, Liu Baiyuan looked at the small hand that was now around his waist, feeling as if he wanted to cry but had no tears.

This woman really knows how to use a feint attack effectively...

No wonder he always felt this older sister was a bit strange. Even with two points of increased affection, she shouldn't have just hugged him like that. Turns out she was hiding something...

"Noona, you were wrong, you were wrong! Let go!"

Feeling the pain in his waist, Liu Baiyuan quickly begged Pei Zhufa for mercy.

This woman may look chubby, short, and old, but she has a surprisingly strong grip.

Bae Joo-beom: Do you believe that tomorrow there will be another unidentified male corpse in the Han River?

Seeing Liu Baiyuan's pleading expression, she felt instantly relieved, and even the boredom of practicing every day for the past few days subsided somewhat.

"See if you dare make fun of Nuna again next time!"

Pei Zhufa released her hand, and Liu Baiyuan immediately rubbed the soft flesh on his waist.

Looking down, the spot where Pei Zhufa had pinched was now bright red, showing just how strong she had been.

This woman really went all out...

Liu Baiyuan glanced at the woman with a hint of resentment. When they first met, she was unsmiling and aloof.

But now he seems to be showing signs of being cunning and scheming, unlike his usual aloof demeanor towards others!

Is Daegu some kind of place comparable to Northeast China? Or... who are you anyway, and where did you switch Bae Joo-hyun's noona to?

Bae Joo-hyun accompanied Yoo Baek-won to his car. Yoo Baek-won glanced at the darkening sky and asked her, "Are you sure you don't need to take me back, noona?"

"No need, I'll just walk back in a couple of steps. Our dorm isn't far from here."

Liu Baiyuan had driven her home before and remembered the way a little. He knew she was telling the truth, so he didn't insist. However, just as he opened the car door to get in, Pei Zhufa suddenly called out to him, "By the way, Baiyuan."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Liu Baiyuan, who had just opened the car door, stopped when he heard Pei Zhuxuan's voice and looked at the older woman with a puzzled expression.

Pei Zhufa was also a little unsure how to start the conversation: "Are you free in a while? Probably... around the middle of the month."

Upon hearing this, Liu Baiyuan subconsciously began to ponder. If it were the middle of the month, he wouldn't have much to do. TWICE also didn't have time to rest, because they were going to participate in JYP's family concert in a couple of days, and the company's music video wouldn't be finished anytime soon.

So if he had to say something, it would be that he would go to the family concert in a couple of days, and he would also go with them to record the "Idol Star Athletics Championships" at the end of the month.

Aside from that, nothing much happened this month.

"Hmm... there shouldn't be anything happening in the middle of the month. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Bae Joo-hyun shook her head and said, "I don't need your help, but we're having our first Red Velvet concert in the middle of the month, so I'd like to invite you to come and watch our concert."

As soon as she finished speaking, a glint of light flashed in Bae Joo-hyun's eyes. She wanted Liu Baiyuan to go over, but she was also a little worried that it would trouble him...

"Of course! I'll definitely be there to support you guys, noona, at the right time and place."

Upon hearing Liu Baiyuan's agreement, Bae Joo-hyun's face immediately lit up with a beautiful smile. Although he could only see the curve of her eyebrows, he could sense that the atmosphere around Bae Joo-hyun had changed from tense to happy.

"The 18th is the first day, held in the Olympic Park!"

"The 18th? Don't worry, I'll definitely be there to support you guys."

Liu Baiyuan repeated the sentence a couple of times and memorized the time and place.

Pei Zhufa was overjoyed to see that Liu Baiyuan had agreed.

"Ding! Bae Joo-hyun's favorability +2!"

Progress bar: 10%.

When Liu Baiyuan heard the notification sounds from the mute system in his mind, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes as he looked at Pei Zhuxuan.

It took a lot of effort for this older sister to increase her favorability at the beginning.

But now, we've reached a point similar to when Hirai Momo was.

The two said goodbye and then parted ways. Pei Zhufa insisted on walking back, and he couldn't stop her.

By the time Liu Baiyuan drove home, it was already 7 p.m.

After taking a quick shower, Liu Baiyuan prepared to lie down and rest in bed.

Many people think that going to school is good and working is tiring, but Liu Baiyuan has a different opinion.

Going to school is good because you don't have to worry about too many things. Sometimes Liu Baiyuan misses his school days when he just went to class every day and didn't have to worry about so many things now. He could also learn some music skills from his old teacher from time to time.

But most of the time, Liu Baiyuan still felt that leaving campus would be better, because he could stay at home without having to think about what classes he would have a few hours later or the next day.

Of course, the root of all this lies in a very real issue: money.

With this, you'll naturally have plenty of free time.

But will he really have time to rest?

That's not necessarily true, because the moment he lay down on the bed, his phone was bombarded with messages.

"Oppa! Do you remember what day it is in two days?!"

"Bai Yuan oppa, are you free in a couple of days?"

"Liu Baiyuan! What are you doing!"

Looking at the several messages that arrived almost one after the other, a helpless expression appeared on his face...

While Liu Baiyuan was lying in bed, preparing to enjoy this hard-won rest time while replying to messages from several people, a family meeting was also beginning in Longshan District, not far from Jiangnan District.

"Yuan Ying, are you really sure about this?"

"Neoni".

In the living room, a couple who looked exceptionally young, and a girl who resembled Zhang Yuanying and appeared to be a junior high school student, sat together, exchanging glances with Zhang Yuanying.

But the focus of their conversation was this youngest child.

Zhang Yuanying's expression was very serious, which surprised her sister Zhang Duoya.

My younger sister rarely makes that kind of expression...

"Yuanying, practicing dancing is a very tiring thing, and you are about to graduate from elementary school now, which will interfere with your studies."

Zhang's mother tried to persuade her youngest daughter with some earnest words. They didn't know what was wrong with her. As soon as she got home from school today, she started shouting that she wanted to go to dance class, and it seemed like they couldn't stop her.

There was nothing Zhang's mother could do but delay, saying she would wait until her father came home. But who knew that when her husband returned, Zhang Yuanying would take the initiative again and start to act coquettishly towards her father, which led to the current situation.

"It's okay, Mom, I promise it won't affect my studies."

Zhang Yuanying believes she can balance her studies and dance. While her academic performance may not be top-notch, it is still quite good. Under these circumstances, she feels she can develop her hobbies.

Besides, on the peninsula, it's quite common to take extracurricular classes while in school.

Zhang's father, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke slowly when he saw the serious expression on his youngest daughter's face: "Yuanying, it's fine if you want to learn to dance, but Dad doesn't want you to give up halfway. Can you do that?"

Although the Zhang family can't be considered a wealthy and powerful family, they can still afford to send their daughter to extracurricular classes without any problem.

Of course, anyone who has raised children knows that money is not the problem when it comes to extracurricular classes; the real concern is that children might give up halfway through, wasting time and distracting their attention.

"Inside!"

"Okay, since you can do it, your mom and I will support you. But if you give up halfway, you have to promise your dad that you will focus on your studies from now on."

97

"Inside!"

Looking at his little daughter who was starting to laugh uncontrollably, Mr. Zhang's originally serious face couldn't help but show a smile.

Soon, the family meeting ended, and on the topic of Zhang Yuanying taking dance classes, the head of the family, Zhang's father, made the decision that Zhang Yuanying would attend dance classes for two hours every day after school.

After Mr. and Mrs. Zhang returned to their room to rest, Zhang Duoya and Zhang Yuanying, the two sisters, also went back to their room.

However, Zhang Duoya went to Zhang Yuanying's room instead.

"What's wrong, unnie?"

"Yuanying, why did you suddenly want to learn to dance?"

Zhang Duoya had no objection to her parents' decision, nor was she there to persuade Zhang Yuanying not to learn dance; she was simply curious about Zhang Yuanying's thoughts.

This wasn't happening last night, and everything was fine when I left home this morning. How come after a day of classes, I'm now saying I'm going to dance class?

Jang Da-ya leaned against the door frame, looking at her younger sister who was sitting on the bed. Jang Won-young did not answer her older sister's question directly, but instead looked at the album on her desk, which was the physical album of TWICE's debut song, "Gracefully".

There was also a physical copy of "CHEERUP" next to it.

It's easy to see from this that Jang Won-young is indeed a loyal fan of TWICE.

"I just... want to get started."

Zhang Yuanying thought of what the handsome uncle she met that afternoon had said: "Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared." She thought this made a lot of sense. Since that was the case, she might as well start preparing now, so that at least she wouldn't be standing still, but would be one step closer to her dream.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Duoya immediately understood what was going on. She knew that her younger sister's wish was to debut as an idol because she wanted to bring joy and strength to others.

Thinking of this, she didn't say anything more. She simply stood up from the door frame and said to Zhang Yuanying, "Get some rest. You'll start dance class tomorrow."

As she spoke, she turned and left, closing the door to Zhang Yuanying's bedroom behind her.

Inside the room, Zhang Yuanying didn't care about her sister's departure. She quietly looked at the album on the desk, and couldn't help but recall the handsome uncle she had met earlier that day. She muttered to herself, "I wonder if that handsome uncle really knows Tzuyu unnie. If I really debut, he'll be shocked, won't he?"

As she spoke, Zhang Yuanying couldn't help but chuckle, clearly imagining the scene.

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, three days later, on August 6th, arrived.

Today, Liu Baiyuan didn't slack off at home or go to the office. Instead, he drove to Jamsil Stadium in Seoul.

This place has been booked out today, and the person who booked it is naturally JYP Entertainment.

However, Liu Baiyuan did not rush in. Instead, he sat in the car and waited for a while. Unlike the previous fan meeting, this time Liu Baiyuan had done his homework.

I learned a little about what exactly the fan support is all about.

But the more I learn about him, the more outrageous it seems. From small-scale offline group support activities to medium-scale support activities like subway "GG" signs or coffee truck support, to large-scale support activities like spending money to put LED screens on buildings.

He compromised slightly and called over a few coffee trucks to offer some support.

Soon, the coffee cart he ordered arrived. After confirming each other's identities with the owner, he asked the barista to bring him a dozen or so freshly made iced Americanos, which he planned to show to the girls.

With his work badge, Liu Baiyuan only gave him a brief check before letting him through. As soon as he entered the backstage area, he saw staff members bustling about.

This year's family concert was unprecedented, featuring not only all the current artists, but also Park Jin-young himself.

However, Liu Baiyuan wasn't very interested in this older man's stage performance...

He quickly found TWICE's waiting room and knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

"Open the door!"

Liu Baiyuan was carrying two bags of coffee in both hands, and he simply didn't have a free hand to open the door.

Fortunately, as soon as he made his voice, someone came in and opened the door to the waiting room.

"Brother Bai Yuan!"

As Liu Baiyuan had predicted, the person who opened the door was TWICE's maknae, Zhou Ziyu.

"Ziyu, quickly help me carry one bag inside."

Liu Baiyuan handed her the coffee bag in his left hand, and she was surprised by its unexpected weight when she took it.

"Brother Bai Yuan, how many cups of coffee did you buy? They're so heavy."

"Not many, maybe a dozen or so cups."

"Huh? Why did you buy so much coffee?"

What do you think?

As he spoke, Liu Baiyuan tapped her forehead with a look of utter disappointment, as if he were looking at her as if she were an idiot.

This coffee isn't just for TWICE; their staff should have some too. Otherwise, even if no one says anything, they'll definitely be a little unhappy.

"Chou Tzu-yu is a bit slow, but she's not as stupid as Hirai Momo."

After a little thought, she understood.

Hirai Momo:? ? ?

After Liu Baiyuan and Zhou Ziyu brought the coffee into the waiting room, before he could say anything, he saw Minatozaki Sana sitting on the sofa, turning her head slightly to look at Kim Dahyun with a charming and alluring expression.

The latter has already transformed from plain tofu into Mapo tofu.

First it was Mina, now it's Kim Da-hyun, could this guy really be...?
