Peninsula: Starting with a silly childhood friend!

Chapter 139 "Are you jealous?"

Kang Seulgi didn't lower her voice, so Bae Joo-beom, who was sitting on the other side of the sofa, naturally heard Kang Seulgi's sudden shout.

As for Bae Joo-hyun, who isn't very brave, or rather... is naturally easily startled, she jumped up in fright almost simultaneously upon hearing the sound.

"Hey! Kang Seulgi! Stop yelling in the dorm!"

As if terrified by a nightmare, Bae Joo-beom sat on the sofa in astonishment. After a couple of seconds of blank stare, she looked at Kang Seul-gi with a reproachful expression and complained to her.

What's wrong with this little sister again? She got all scared!

On the other side of the sofa, Kang Seulgi, who had been scolded by Bae Joo-fa, pursed her lips slightly, lengthened her philtrum, and looked aggrieved while trying to hide the fact that she was Kang Seulgi.

Why are those bystanders not getting scolded, while my honest and dutiful younger sister is pushed out to take the blame?

The problem is, she not only took the fall, but she didn't even understand what was going on, she's lost out big time!

"Yes, Mianeoni, I understand..."

Seeing Kang Seulgi's expression, the three people hiding behind her tightened their lips, their slightly trembling shoulders seemingly telling the world how painful it was for them to suppress their laughter.

On the other hand, Bae Joo-hyun looked at her teammates, one with her head slightly lowered and the other three secretly suppressing their laughter, and the puzzled expression on her face became even more serious. A thought quietly rose in her mind.

Are her four teammates stupid?

Son Seungwan, Park Sooyoung, Kim Yerin: No, only Seulgi unnie is stupid.

Kang Seulgi: Huh? ? ?

Bae Joo-fa subconsciously shifted her position, trying to get away from these "lunatics," but she found that even after moving, she was still too close. So she simply stood up and said, "I...I'm going back to my room."

With that, she turned and left without looking back.

Pei Zhufa's departure wasn't necessarily a bad thing for them; at least they could talk more boldly.

boom!

As the door closed, Son Seungwan, Park Sooyoung, and Kim Yerin breathed a sigh of relief. Kang Seulgi then turned around and asked her three disloyal sisters, "What are you talking about?"

Seeing that her older sister was still confused, Park Soo-young couldn't stand it anymore and said to her, "Unnie, haven't you figured it out yet? Joo-hyun unnie is up to something."

Kim Ye-rin followed closely behind. As the youngest member of the group, she had always been pampered by her older members since joining, so she spoke somewhat casually.

"After coming back from outside, I just sat down and started grinning like an idiot while holding my phone. And you can tell from my hands that I wasn't playing games or watching videos at all; I was obviously typing. Think about it, unnie."

As Kang Seulgi listened to these words, her expression grew increasingly serious. "Hiss... No way!"

This girl was known as an iron-willed woman during her trainee days. Countless senior trainees wanted to go on dates with her or ask for her contact information, but without exception, they were all rejected. And then... she debuted, but her "iron tree blossomed" (a Chinese idiom meaning she was unyielding and seemingly indifferent)?!

Park Soo-young and Kang Seul-gi shared the same idea, but she simply said it aloud.

"I never thought that unnie would have this day... Thinking back to the first time I saw unnie, when I saw her face, I lost all confidence in continuing as a trainee. For so many years, unnie never had any rumors with anyone." I never thought that now...

The two of them were talking back and forth, leaving Kang Seulgi bewildered. However, Son Seungwan, who was standing next to her, suddenly fell silent. Her silence made people wonder, as if someone had stolen her beloved toy.

If I had to say, she does bear some resemblance to Sana Minatozaki from before.

"Unnie, what do you think?"

Kim Yerin asked the silent Son Seungwan, who, hearing someone call her, immediately snapped out of her reverie and asked the group, "Hmm? What's wrong?"

"Unnie, why are you spacing out just like Joo-hyun unnie?"

Seeing Son Seungwan like this, Park Soo-young couldn't help but laugh and tease her, saying that the older sister has a little habit of suddenly "hanging up" and getting distracted while talking.

I never expected this older sister to learn bad habits instead of good ones...

"I was just thinking about something. What did you ask me?"

"Guess who Joo-hyun unnie was chatting with on the phone? Soo-young unnie said she thinks it's Yoo Baek-won, but Seul-gi unnie and I think it's unlikely," Kim Ye-rin replied.

Upon hearing this, Son Seungwan stood up, stretched, and said languidly, "What's so hard to guess? Or rather... is there even a need to guess? Ever since that producer Liu Baiyuan appeared, this older sister has become increasingly abnormal."

As mentioned before, Red Velvet's dorm uses a 3+2 room arrangement, with the two maknaes (youngest members) living together and the three older members (older members) living together.

And she was the only one in the upper bunk. Although she had to bump heads with him every day, which made her a little unhappy, it has to be said that being "higher up" meant she could see further.

Pei Zhufa's unusual behavior had been noticed for a while. She was practically glued to her phone, grinning like an idiot. And before that, she'd been acting all mysterious, wearing headphones as if listening to some music. Then, shortly after, when they had a song selection session, she chose Liu Baiyuan's song without a second thought...

Don't all the signs indicate that there's always been a connection between this older sister and Liu Baiyuan, the producer, that they're unaware of...?

Upon hearing Son Seungwan's words, Park Sooyoung immediately straightened up. Just now, when she was fighting two against one, she was being completely dominated by those two. Now that she had finally turned the tables and was in a two-on-two situation, how could she not be arrogant?

"Did you hear that? Seungwan unnie is the smart one."

Park Soo-young's opinion is completely consistent with Son Seung-wan's. She is essentially a looks-obsessed person, and from her perspective, Liu Baiyuan's looks are among the top three she has ever seen.

With such a handsome guy by her side, she couldn't possibly look at anyone else.

As for Son Seung-wan, she ignored the three's bickering. She shifted her position slightly, creating some distance between herself and the three; they were too noisy, she'd rather watch TV.

Inside the room, Bae Joo-beom lay on her bed. She had taken off her shoes as soon as she entered, and now her beautiful feet were exposed to the air.

Her meticulously manicured nails were smooth and rounded, and her fair skin was perfectly showcased on her small feet, which were not exposed to sunlight. The white and pinkish base color paired with the beige toenails revealed Bae Joo-fa's maturity and intellect in her early twenties.

This woman is top-tier in every way except for her height.

At this moment, she gently swung her little feet, a faint, unconscious smile on her lips, clearly indicating that she was in a fairly good mood.

Her small hands typed slowly on the screen. Her typing speed wasn't very fast, so sometimes typing seemed a bit difficult.

"Noona's acting is pretty good, I feel like we can look forward to Irene, who is also an actress."

"Dear addition?"

Bae Joo-hyun looked at the message Liu Baiyuan sent and couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on her face. You know, the opinions on her acting skills on the Internet are completely different from what Liu Baiyuan said. Most of them are criticisms.

Because this was her screen debut, many Red Velvet fans had high expectations for her, but unfortunately the result was more like...acting, not very natural. Although it was a short drama, some people still criticized her acting skills.

This led to a significant lack of confidence in her acting skills, and unexpectedly... Liu Baiyuan actually praised her.

"Of course, although your acting still has a lot of immaturity and traces of performance, it is already quite remarkable for a newcomer."

Looking at the message Liu Baiyuan sent, Pei Zhufa couldn't help but recall the TV web series she filmed at the beginning of this year...

This "Hello Korean" is actually an educational short film, which she filmed at the beginning of this year. It was scheduled to air at the end of June, and it's been over a month since then. I didn't expect it to still be airing now. The TV web series she just thought of was also filmed at the beginning of the year, and its air date... was at the end of last month. She didn't know if Liu Baiyuan had seen it.

In fact, that was actually her television debut.

Even so, Liu Baiyuan's words were enough to move her. This younger brother always encouraged her when she was doubted; it was truly... impossible not to like him...

"Bai Yuan, you don't know me at all. I've already debuted as an actor."

Bae Joo-hyun thought for a moment, then decided to tell him herself, because she also wanted to see Yoo Baek-won's reaction to her first drama.

"What?"

Upon seeing the message from Bae Joo-hyun, Liu Baiyuan, who was leaning against the sofa, was also stunned for a moment. Bae Joo-hyun had debuted as an actress.

When did this happen?

"Oh, you really don't know me at all. Don't you know I already have a movie to act in?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Baiyuan blinked twice while stunned, clearly bewildered.

The next second, he stood up from the sofa and walked towards his computer room, intending to search online.

I turned on my computer and searched for Bae Joo-beol's name. Sure enough, under the list of shows she starred in, besides "Hello Korean," there was another drama titled "Female Employees of a Game Company."

Upon seeing the title of the show, Liu Baiyuan immediately recalled a stereotype of a "programmer".

Nearsighted, bowl cut, introverted woman in a plaid shirt.

Thinking this, Liu Baiyuan gently tapped the TV. Soon, a pixelated interface appeared on his computer. Then, the main program began. In a very small office, several programmers who looked tired and exhausted were still sitting at their computer desks, as if they were working overtime.

And among this group of people, Pei Zhufa was also present.

In the photo, Bae Joo-hyun has her hair tied in a high ponytail, and she wears thin-rimmed glasses. Her large eyes reveal a hint of bewilderment, giving her the look of a female college student just entering society.

The blue long-sleeved sweatshirt and tight-fitting ripped jeans do fit the look of a programmer.

But those are slippers on your feet... right?

Cotton socks and slippers—what a strange outfit...

However, these are all secondary advantages. What truly captivates the eye is Bae Joo-beom's beauty. Many people say that this woman has a large head, but looking at her like this, she doesn't seem to have one. Perhaps it's simply because this woman has a somewhat slender build.

So when you look at the overall head-to-body ratio, it appears rather large.

He took a picture of Pei Zhufa on the computer, and unexpectedly, the candid shot turned out to be a pretty good photo.

"Noona, you mean this one? The makeup and styling are great, Noona. I didn't expect glasses to suit you so well."

Watching the three women on TV run to the rooftop to vent their frustrations, the theme becomes clear: judging from the dialogue, these are three frustrated programmers who can't actually create a single game.

Just as he was feeling sorry for Bae Joo-beop on TV, the conversation suddenly shifted, and one of the female employees brought up the topic of 19+ content...

Just then, Pei Zhufa also sent back a message.

"Right, I also think the makeup and styling in this drama are very good."

Upon seeing Pei Zhufa's reply, Liu Baiyuan's face instantly revealed a meaningful smile. He hadn't originally planned to bring it up, but since you've come to this, you can't blame me.

"Noona, I didn't expect your show to have such heavy content, even discussing 19+ topics..."

","ah?"

"Lily, Noona, have you forgotten?"

As Bae Joo-hyun looked at the two words Liu Baiyuan mentioned, the memory of "death" instantly surged from the depths of her memory like a flood, and her face began to flush rapidly at a visible speed.

Recalling what she had said about alternating between offense and defense, and how taking off her glasses would switch the roles of top and bottom, she felt a pang of regret. She shouldn't have asked Liu Baiyuan to watch those shows when she had nothing better to do.

My lifelong reputation is ruined!

"ah!"

When Liu Baiyuan saw that Bae Joo-hyun's older sister only sent a short message of one word, he knew that the other party had "broken down again."

A slight smile played on his lips, and he stopped teasing her, instead quietly watching the show.

One of the main characteristics of web series is their speed: fast plot, fast pace, and fast duration.

Each episode was only a few minutes long, and Liu Baiyuan finished watching the first episode in no time. However, when he saw the end credits, where Pei Zhufa, dressed in pink, was exchanging smiles with the male employee in the elevator, he suddenly felt a pang of sadness. He picked up his phone again and asked Pei Zhufa, "Noona, it seems like you have a romantic storyline in this short drama..."

When Pei Zhufa, whose cheeks were already flushed red, saw the message Liu Baiyuan sent, she seemed to sense a hint of bitterness in his words, even through the screen.

Are you jealous?
