Peninsula: Starting with a silly childhood friend!

Chapter 153 Lim Nayeon, the One Being Targeted

Wow, it's huge!

As soon as Zhang Yuanying entered the stadium, her face was full of surprise.

Seeing a stadium on TV and seeing it in real life are two different experiences.

Its massive venue can make you feel your own insignificance.

Although you may have a seat of your own inside this venue, there are thousands of such seats in this kind of place.

"Alright, let's lament later. Let's find a seat first; there are still people behind us."

Looking at her younger sister's pathetic state, Zhang Duoya smiled slightly. Indeed, her younger sister was adorable no matter how she looked at her.

However, considering that there were many spectators following behind her, she gently nudged Zhang Yuanying, signaling her to hurry up.

Zhang Yuanying and Zhang Duoya had very good seats, right next to the entrance, or even in the front row.

This spot not only allows you to see your favorite idol up close, but also gives you a panoramic view of the entire event.

They could both imagine how high-definition their idols would look later, and thinking about it, the two of them were already getting excited.

Time passed slowly, and before long, the TWICE members had changed their clothes. They wore orange short tracksuits with white jackets over them, and a white cloth was sewn onto their chests with their stage names and group name written on it.

Next to them is a big "A", which means they are members of Team A.

Although this thing doesn't really mean anything...

TWICE, as currently popular idol groups, even have an additional flag in their hands, clearly indicating that they also have to act as flag bearers.

Once all the audience members were seated, the hosts and commentators in the commentary booth finally began the opening ceremony.

"Yo-ro-bu! Welcome to the grand sports extravaganza for idol stars, the 2016 Idol Star Athletics Championships!"

We are currently broadcasting live from Goyang Gymnasium!

Yes, it's a live broadcast. The Idol Star Athletics Championships can be broadcast in more than one format, such as car radio and regular radio. If you want to watch the TV broadcast, you'll have to wait.

After a string of meaningless ramblings, the commentator finally spoke up, "Alright, now, let's welcome our athletes!"

Upon hearing this, at the staff's signal, TWICE stepped outside, leading the way, while the flag bearers...

The person in question wasn't TWICE's leader, but rather TWICE's eldest member, Lim Nayeon, with Yoo Jeongyeon following closely behind, also protecting her silly older sister.

While it's undeniable that Hirai Momo is the silliest member of the team, this eldest sister is also a highly talented player. The two are like a pair of mismatched dragons and phoenixes, a perfect match.

Hirai Momo: You've been smuggling in too much of your own agenda lately!!!

Liu Baiyuan and one or two staff members followed behind TWICE, but they did not go with them to the main venue in the middle; instead, they sat on the sidelines to watch over them.

However, just as Liu Baiyuan stepped out of the backstage area, his gaze was suddenly drawn to an audience member in the audience in front of him.

"Tzuyu unnie!"

"Yay!"

Liu Baiyuan stepped forward, looked at the little girl who was peeking out halfway, and asked her with a smile, "Why did you come over?"

The first to react was not Zhang Yuanying, but Zhang Duoya. Looking at the handsome man with his piercing gaze and smiling eyes, a hint of doubt arose in Zhang Duoya's heart.

However, Zhang Yuanying also noticed Liu Baiyuan shortly after.

When she saw Liu Baiyuan, she was taken aback at first. After all, they had only met once. Even though she had never forgotten Liu Baiyuan, the unfamiliarity of not seeing him for so long prevented Zhang Yuanying from recognizing him at first glance.

Fortunately, Liu Baiyuan was quite handsome, and soon she merged Liu Baiyuan's face with the handsome uncle she had always missed in her memory.

"Oh my! Handsome uncle! What are you doing here!"

When Liu Baiyuan and Zhang Yuanying met and recognized each other, it immediately set off alarm bells in Zhang Duoya's mind.

When did my younger sister meet this kind of man?

Liu Baiyuan subtly flashed the name tag hanging around his neck, a slight smile on his face, and said to her, "Of course I'm a staff member. As for you, you're so young and you're not in class, but instead you're chasing after people offline."

"Uncle, are you Pabong? It's Saturday!"

'

Upon hearing Zhang Yuanying's words, Liu Baiyuan seemed to suddenly realize that he had graduated too long ago and had long forgotten what day of the week it was; now he basically lived by the date.

"You think you're so smart."

Liu Baiyuan rolled his eyes at her, then ignored her and walked towards the staff rest area.

As Liu Baiyuan left, Zhang Yuanying smiled. Today, she not only met her idol, whom she had always admired, but also this handsome uncle she hadn't seen in a long time. She wondered if today was her lucky day!

"Oh, Zhang Yuanying, you've never told me you know someone like this."

Worried that her silly younger sister had been deceived, Zhang Duoya immediately began to question her. It wasn't that she was being arbitrary and insisted that everyone Zhang Yuanying knew had to get her permission.

But I must have heard that Zhang Yuanying is still so young and has almost no ability to fight back against scammers in society. So, as her older sister, I should naturally keep an eye on her.

Moreover, she had never heard Jang Won-young mention this man before, and he seemed to be a TWICE staff member.

Hmm... Zhang Yuanying suddenly came back and said she wanted to learn dance. Could it be that she was also influenced by this man in front of her?

Zhang Duoya's expression became even more serious, while Zhang Yuanying said nonchalantly, "She's an older man I met on my way home from school before, we just chatted briefly..."

"Oh, Zhang Yuanying, you're really carefree. What if he's a bad guy? You dare to talk to just anyone you see on the street."

"Hey, tell me, isn't that guy handsome?"

,handsome."

"That settles it."

Zhang Yuanying wasn't worried at all about what her older sister said. As far as she was concerned, as long as this handsome older man didn't cheat her out of her money or her feelings, she would be happy to just deceive him.

After all, he's much better looking than any of the idols I've ever seen!

Take these male idols coming in now, for example. I used to think they were pretty good, but now... I feel like I'd rather watch Liu Baiyuan on the other side than watch them.

On the other side, Liu Baiyuan looked at Zhang Yuanying in the stands and couldn't help but smile. He then looked at Zhou Ziyu in the crowd and a thought flashed through his mind.

In no time at all, all the boy and girl groups participating in the show had made their appearances.

Then came some opening performances, such as singing and dancing.

Finally, a few representatives were selected to take an oath.

This combination of punches was a disaster for Liu Baiyuan. He was initially interested, but after watching for a while, he took out his phone.

Clearly, based on his judgment, his own phone was more interesting.

Finally, the opening ceremony ended. Under the guidance of the staff, all the men's and women's teams were distributed in a large rest area in the middle of the track, sitting in a circle with a large open space in the middle.

Normally, the middle section is meant to be a football field, but this stadium has a 100-meter running track instead. While it's a bit unconventional, it does make the 100-meter event more convenient.

TWICE was seated on the side by the staff, which happened to be quite close to Jang Won-young's group.

"Tzuyu unnie!"

Seeing this incredible stroke of luck, Zhang Yuanying's little rabbit eyes almost popped out with hearts.

She shouted Chou Tzu-yu's name at the top of her lungs, trying to get her to look at her more, but it was no use. As mentioned before, the stadium was never short of people.

Especially when you can see your idol up close, it's no exaggeration to say that the place is packed with people.

If it weren't for the microphone and speakers, the commentator's voice might have been drowned out.

However... this is when having someone behind you comes in handy. Liu Baiyuan quickly noticed Zhang Yuanying, and looking at her, he made a decision in his heart.

However, with many viewers watching, helping Zhang Yuanying now would be inappropriate for either Zhang Yuanying or...

If it were Chou Tzu-yu, she would become the target of public criticism, so Liu Baiyuan didn't do anything at this time, but just sat quietly in place.

The first event is women's rhythmic gymnastics.

TWICE's contestants are MISAMO and two others.

Therefore, right after the opening ceremony, TWICE's manager took them directly to the backstage dressing room to change clothes.

Following closely behind, MBC staff began laying carpets and using fences to separate the idols who were resting on the side from the performance venue.

Although it might sound harsh to them, the truth is that, apart from Mina, Sana Minatozaki and Momo Hirai were practically just there to make up the numbers.

Although Sana Minatozaki has good dance skills, she was specially trained by JYP and her style is fixed in K-pop.

Although Momo Hirai had studied dance before joining JYP, her dance style emphasized power and rhythm, which was a different style altogether.

Mina, however, possesses a unique advantage in this project due to her ten years of ballet training.

Unfortunately...

She encountered another "big devil".

"Next up is Cheng Xiao from WJSN!"

Watching the girls dancing gracefully on stage, Mina, who had just stepped off the stage, knew that her path to victory this time was probably in jeopardy.

"What's wrong?"

Just as she stepped off the stage and walked into the exit tunnel, Liu Baiyuan came up to her and asked her a question.

"Oppa, what brings you here?"

"I saw you standing here, so I came over to check on you."

Liu Baiyuan was not far from the exit passage, so it was only a few steps for him to get there.

"Oppa, I'm sorry, I'm afraid we won't be able to win the championship this time..."

Mina's expression was somewhat regretful. She had initially thought her performance was quite good and her score was decent, at least she hadn't embarrassed her brother. But now it seemed she had been too hasty in her celebration...

This junior, Cheng Xiao, is just like a professional gymnast; she might even get a perfect score.

"What does it matter? We came here not only to participate in the show and increase our exposure, but also to give you a rare vacation. Seeing that you have fun is enough. Anyway, we don't rely on this for a living."

They're not professional athletes. If it increases their exposure and allows them to relax and take a break, that's enough. It's all about participation.

However, seeing Mina's pouty lips and seemingly aggrieved expression, Liu Baiyuan couldn't help but laugh out loud. A look of sudden realization appeared in his eyes. No wonder she looked so regretful just now; she felt a little sorry for him.

It has to be said that upon hearing Liu Baiyuan's words, Mina's face changed from slight annoyance to a beaming smile, and she instantly became happy.

But even happiness can't be used as a measure of achievement. Unsurprisingly, Mina didn't get a good result in rhythmic gymnastics, not even making it into the top three, let alone Sana Minatozaki and Momo Hirai.

These two were more interested in participating than anything else...

When the results were announced, Liu Baiyuan and Zhou Ziyu were somewhat surprised to find that the first and second place winners had some connection to them.

Because Cheng Xiao, who came in first, and Cao Lu, who came in second, are both Chinese...

Back on the court, Liu Baiyuan and Zhou Ziyu exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of joy in each other's eyes.

After rhythmic gymnastics, the next event is archery.

This didn't bother Liu Baiyuan, but what really caught his attention was that a male celebrity not far from Lim Nayeon was keeping his eyes fixed on her.

Perhaps because Liu Baiyuan wore glasses, he keenly noticed this gaze that was different from his own.

"Could this be... the kind of person Zhenying was talking about, someone who likes to 'make friends'?"

Liu Baiyuan stood with his arms crossed, quietly watching the scene. In front of so many fans, he was staring at Lim Nayeon without any hesitation. Wasn't he afraid of being scrutinized by the fans afterwards?

Liu Baiyuan did not take any action, but the male idol did. He whispered something in the ear of his teammate, and then the two of them stood up and went straight to Lim Nayeon's side.

A polite smile graced his face, and his slight bow conveyed utmost respect, as if it were merely a simple greeting.

However, only Liu Baiyuan and the person involved, Lin Nayeon, noticed that the man secretly slipped a small note into Lin Nayeon's hand.
