Peninsula: Starting with a silly childhood friend!

"Nayeon, could you please send this to your staff for me?"

Liu Baiyuan called out to Lin Nalian and handed the task over to her.

Of course, it wasn't that he was lazy and insisted on ordering Lin Nayeon around; in fact, it was a good way to win people's hearts.

When it comes to sending "warmth," it's not important who buys it, but who sends it.

Who bought the coffee? Nobody cares, and even if they did, they'd probably forget about it sooner. But if TWICE delivered the coffee to them and thanked them for their hard work, they'd remember it for at least a year...

That's why Liu Baiyuan asked Lin Nalian and the others to take care of this matter.

Of course, things that can increase one's popularity only work if the person doing them personally.

"Nei~"

Upon hearing Liu Baiyuan's words, Lim Nayeon immediately understood, nodded, and took action. Or rather... all nine members of TWICE took action.

Liu Baiyuan sat on the sofa, watching the busy group of people, a faint smile on his face.

A moment later, Mina returned to the sofa. Seeing Liu Baiyuan sitting alone, she sat down next to him and said again:

"Thank you, Bai Yuan oppa~"

Mina thanked Liu Baiyuan again. She was touched that he had specially given her one of the four autographed photos he had given her.

However, the latter simply waved his hand and smiled:

"It's alright, no need to be so polite."

As he spoke, Liu Baiyuan turned his head and stared intently at Mina, whose face was slightly flushed.

At first, Mina didn't think anything of it, but when she sensed that Liu Baiyuan's gaze showed no sign of leaving, she forced herself to speak, suppressing her embarrassment:

"Baek Won oppa... is there something wrong with me?"

Liu Baiyuan nodded. "It is indeed a bit strange..."

Upon hearing this, Mina's face froze instantly, and a hint of panic flashed through her mind.

At this moment, in her heart, Liu Baiyuan was not just a handsome childhood friend's older brother, but also held a... unique position.

Therefore, Mina really took his "feedback" to heart.

"Huh?! Is something strange?"

Mina took out her phone, pretending to open the camera, ready to check her face with the front camera.

But before she could even begin the examination, Liu Baiyuan spoke again:

"I find it strange... You have such a cute and pretty face, but you don't smile much usually. I think you look better when you smile. There's a saying: 'A smiling girl is lucky,' so smile more."

These words of encouragement were undeniably touching, and Mina was indeed moved by Liu Baiyuan's words. However, just as the atmosphere between the two was warming up, a sarcastic remark suddenly broke the mood from behind them:

"Bai Yuan oppa, there's something wrong with what you said. A girl with bad luck wouldn't be able to laugh either..."

"..."

Liu Baiyuan and Mingjing Nan were stunned for a moment, then turned their heads to look at the newcomer at the same time.

Sure enough, the voice and tone that Liu Baiyuan found somewhat familiar belonged to Chou Tzu-yu...

"Tzuyu, your mouth..."

Liu Baiyuan looked at Zhou Ziyu with a helpless expression. Why does Zhou Ziyu always have such a venomous mouth?

Was the main point he was making about whether he was lucky or not?

This is like someone claiming they slashed their way from the Southern Heavenly Gate to the Heavenly Palace with two watermelon knives without blinking, and then you turn around and ask them if their eyes were dry or not...

"What's wrong?"

Chou Tzu-yu stared at him blankly, and seeing that 'dull' expression, Liu Baiyuan's words got stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them.

"It's nothing, I just think it's pink and pretty, and she's taken good care of herself..."

"Oh, thank you~"

"..."

Liu Baiyuan and Ming Jingnan were amused by Zhou Ziyu's insensitivity. They knew that talking to her would be useless and would only make them angry. So, they tacitly ignored Zhou Ziyu.

"Oppa".

A short while later, Hirai Momo returned to the sofa and saw Liu Baiyuan surrounded by Zhou Ziyu and Mina.

A strange sense of crisis suddenly arose in her heart.

So he hurriedly went over and sat down on the other side of Liu Baiyuan.

She linked arms with Liu Baiyuan as if asserting her sovereignty.

As she hugged him tighter, Liu Baiyuan felt a peculiar sensation in his arms.

It was July, and the members were dressed quite lightly, showing off their great figures. Hirai Momo, as the tallest member of TWICE, was naturally one of the best among them.

Of course, Liu Baiyuan now deeply understands this as well; however, how he came to understand it is none of your concern...

"Tsk... peaches..."

Liu Baiyuan glanced at Mina Minami, then at Sana Minatozaki. Yes, it was indeed the highest mountain.

Mina and Sana: Kuroko, speak up!

"What did you and Mina talk about?"

Hirai Momo smiled and asked Liu Baiyuan.

Liu Baiyuan didn't hide anything and spoke the truth directly:

"People say she's too introverted, but I think she looks better when she smiles, so I just encourage her to smile more."

Ok? ? ?

Upon hearing this, Hirai Momo's face immediately showed a look of confusion. No, what's going on?

You're my brother! I'm right here, how can you praise my best friend's looks in front of me?!

Don't I need to smile more? Why don't you ever tell me to smile more!

Do I look bad when I smile?!

That's why she didn't say it aloud. If she had, Zhou Ziyu would probably have treated her before Liu Baiyuan even opened his mouth.

"Unnie, we're talking about how good-looking you are, not how silly you are. Your smile only makes you look wise; you're the goddess of wisdom."

Hirai Momo pouted, and said in a jealous tone:

"Yes~ Oppa, you're right, Mina is indeed very beautiful~!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Baiyuan, Zhou Ziyu, and Mina all smelled a sour scent.

like...

Something was spilled.

Liu Baiyuan quickly realized that his silly peach was jealous...

"Ahem, of course our peach is very pretty too."

Hirai Momo turned her head away haughtily, refusing to look at him again. Did she, Hirai Momo, think she was so easily coaxed?!

At least one... oh no! Two pig's trotters!

Seeing Hirai Momo's 'angry' expression, Liu Baiyuan smiled helplessly. He'd started the fire, so he had to put it out himself...

After finally managing to appease Hirai Momo, time had been ticking by. Soon, it was four o'clock, and there was still an hour before their performance. Their fan meeting was scheduled to start at five o'clock. Shortly after, a staff member carried in an insulated box.

This is TWICE's dinner today.

However, just as the staff placed the box of dinners on the ground, Mina and Momo simultaneously took out a portion from the insulated box, but they didn't eat it themselves; instead, they handed it to Liu Baiyuan at the same time.

"Here you go, Oppa!"

"Baek Won oppa, dinner..."
