Peninsula: Starting with a silly childhood friend!

Although Liu Baiyuan's glance was only for a moment, it still stirred up a great deal of shame in the woman's heart.

She wore these shoes to save time and effort, especially since it's June and the weather is hot. Wearing slippers is convenient and keeps her feet warm.

Who knew I'd become the subject of everyone's attention...

As he pondered, a certain reaction suddenly occurred in Liu Baiyuan's mind. It wasn't the same stinging pain he felt when he encountered Minatozaki Sana, but that voice, both familiar and unfamiliar to him, rang out once again.

"Found a character that can be bound: Bae Joo-hyun (Not yet bound!)"

"Start the progress bar!"

Liu Baiyuan was slightly taken aback. It wasn't because the voice suddenly appeared, but because... how did he suddenly become associated with Bae Joo-hyun?!

Yes, the woman sitting next to Liu Baiyuan at this moment is none other than Bae Joo-hyun, the leader of Red Velvet, SM Entertainment's current top girl group.

Liu Baiyuan was aware of this, although he genuinely didn't know it when they first met...

Just as his thoughts were drifting further and further away, Liu Baiyuan quickly came back to his senses. Now was not the time to think about binding.

He immediately turned to look at Bae Joo-hyun beside him, only to see that although she was wearing a mask and hat, her exposed skin was a striking pink, as if she was feeling a little shy.

Liu Baiyuan felt a little strange, but he immediately thought of his subconscious glance just now, and a pair of fair and tender little feet appeared in his mind, which made him unconsciously look down again.

But then they saw that the other person's toes were already curled up...

Just as Liu Baiyuan was about to say something, the saleswoman who had gone to get him the tablet returned to his side, handed it to him, and said:

"Sir, please take a look. These are all the models in our store. If you have any special needs, or if you want to upgrade any parts, we will arrange it for you as soon as possible. Your car will be delivered to you within a week at most."

The saleswoman's appearance undoubtedly relieved Bae Joo-hyun from her predicament. Feeling awkward initially, she now took the opportunity to speak softly:

"Um... my car should be finished with maintenance, I'll be going now!"

After saying that, she left without looking back, leaving Liu Baiyuan standing there.

"Eh!"

Just as Liu Baiyuan was about to say something, he looked at Pei Zhuxuan who seemed to be fleeing and couldn't help but feel speechless.

Why do I feel like I'm having a bad run of luck lately...?

"gentlemen?"

Seeing Liu Baiyuan's dazed expression, the saleswoman called him again with a hint of confusion. This time, Liu Baiyuan snapped out of his reverie, smiled apologetically at the saleswoman, and said:

"Oh, sorry, I was lost in thought. Could you please repeat that?"

Since things had come to this point, and Bae Joo-hyun had already left, and he couldn't possibly chase after her, he decided to finalize the car purchase first.

As for Bae Joo-hyun...

I'll find a chance to visit SM Entertainment sometime and explain it to her then. Anyway, he's a producer, so visiting... well... visiting a company shouldn't be too difficult.

Besides, it's not a big deal. This misunderstanding should be cleared up quickly. Isn't it mainly because we didn't have time to say something...?

With that in mind, he focused all his attention on buying a car.

For men, although buying a car is a serious matter, they generally have some understanding and expectations about what kind of car to buy.

Therefore, even though it was Liu Baiyuan's first time buying a car, it didn't take long. He bought a BMW 5 Series and didn't choose to add anything; he just chose a color scheme.

Fortunately, the service center had a car in stock, so he picked it up on the spot with full payment.

License plates are processed very quickly on the peninsula. In mainland China, it might take one to three days due to peak season, but on the peninsula, as long as the paperwork is complete, it can be done in about an hour.

That's quite fast.

Two hours later, he was already driving his new car on his way home.

It has to be said that having a car and not having a car really feels different. At least when you drive yourself, you have a lot more freedom.

He soon returned to the apartment building.

When he rented the apartment, it came with a parking space, but he didn't have a car at the time, so he never bothered with it. Now it seems that he was quite prescient!

After parking the car, he went home.

Almost simultaneously, two nanny vans arrived downstairs.

However, when they saw an extra car downstairs, a hint of doubt appeared on their faces.

"Huh? Why is there another car here?"

Lim Nayeon blinked, looking at the car curiously, while Kim Dahyun came to her older sister's side, looked her over, and said:

"Judging by its condition, it looks like a new car."

Even Park Jihyo, as the leader, couldn't help but smile and said:

"Alright, you're all so concerned about an extra car? Instead of worrying about whether it's new or old, or who owns it, you'd be better off going back to your dorms to rest, unless... none of you are tired!"

Hearing Park Jihyo's complaint, the others also pursed their lips and obediently headed upstairs.

Sana Minatozaki and Tzuyu, who were walking at the back, seemed to have guessed what was going on and glanced at the first floor in unison.

This building is actually JYP's own building, but due to some reasons, the first floor was rented out before, while the second and third floors are still in JYP's hands. That's why they looked at the first floor, since Liu Baiyuan, who lives on the first floor, is an "outsider".

As for why this is a JYP building, and why Yoo Baek-won would live here, even on the floor above TWICE, it's not really hard to understand. After all, when JYP started renting out buildings, TWICE hadn't even debuted yet...

JYP has had trouble renting out the space due to its location, which is why it's only because Liu Baiyuan is wealthy; otherwise, the place would probably be empty by now...

"I didn't expect that uncle to be so rich..."

Sana Minatozaki sighed and said something, and Tzuyu, as if she'd been stabbed in the back, retorted:

"It's okay, unnie. If you work hard for ten years, you'll be able to afford it too..."

"..."

Upon hearing Tzuyu's words, Sana Minatosaki's face also showed a speechless expression as she looked at Tzuyu.

She swore that if her youngest member were cut open, she'd definitely be black...

Just as the two were dawdling over the last bit, Lim Nayeon, who was walking in front, suddenly remembered something and shouted loudly:

"Kids, the last one to enter the dorm will have to treat everyone to ice cream at the supermarket next time!!!"

As soon as Lim Nayeon said this, the other eight members of TWICE instantly became excited and rushed back to the dormitory. Even Zhou Ziyu and Minatozaki Sana, who were last, were no exception. They couldn't compete for the top few places, but they couldn't be last place!

Just as Sana Minatozaki was about to start running, Tzuyu suddenly grabbed her and pushed her backward, allowing Sana to run ahead of her...

"Ah!!! Chou Tzu-yu!!!"
