Peninsula: My e-sports dream shattered, I chose to become an actor.

"Knock knock".

A crisp knock on the door broke the silence of the corridor.

Chou Tzu-yu stood outside the dressing room, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes. Of course, she had a spare key, but since someone was inside, out of politeness and instinctive caution, she chose to knock.

Li Mingye assigned her a task... well, it wasn't really a task. He just said he wanted to introduce her to two friends.

Then we brought her here.

Chou Tzu-yu felt inexplicably uneasy. Under normal circumstances, someone with her social anxiety would never have agreed to such a completely unfamiliar social gathering, especially without even a middleman!

But Li Mingye was clearly worried that she would be lonely, so he specially introduced her to people and then had them keep her company in his place.

With such a heartwarming reason, Chou Tzu-yu felt too embarrassed to refuse.

"What kind of person would he be? Would he be a very serious senior?" Chou Tzu-yu couldn't help but let her mind wander, already rehearsing countless awkward opening lines in her head.

"The person oppa introduced me to can't be a bad person, right?"

Just as Chou Tzu-yu was caught up in a frantic brainstorming session, even planning how to escape if the atmosphere turned sour, the door clicked open.

"Eh!"

Sana Minatozaki recognized the figure at the door and exclaimed in surprise, as if she had discovered a new continent: "Amazing! So cute!"

Sana Minatozaki took the initiative and caught Tzuyu off guard, freezing her prepared bow in mid-air.

"Alright, alright, don't stand outside anymore, come in!" Seeing that Tzuyu was standing there blankly, not knowing what to say, Minatozaki Sana didn't mind. She naturally reached out and took Tzuyu's soft little hand, pulling her into the dressing room like a doll.

Entering the familiar lounge and smelling that familiar scent of incense, Zhou Ziyu finally felt a little more at ease. She breathed a sigh of relief, encouraged herself, straightened up, and nervously introduced herself:

"Aniyasyo! I'm Tzuyu, from China, and I'm currently a trainee at JYP Entertainment."

Watching Chou Tzu-yu nervously introduce herself, trembling like a frightened little penguin, Minatozaki Sana and Hirai Momo exchanged a glance and then gave each other a friendly smile.

"Don't be nervous, we've heard about you from Mingye oppa for a long time," Minatozaki Sana said with a grin, her big eyes blinking. "Just as he said, you're a super cute little sister!"

Actually, Li Mingye only mentioned Zhou Ziyu to them for the first time today, but at times like this, you have to rely on people who know both sides to build rapport.

"Really?" Tzuyu's face lit up with obvious joy, and her nervousness instantly lessened.

Following that, Sana Minatozaki and Momo Hirai formally introduced themselves to Tzuyu:

"My name is Sana Minatozaki, I'm Japanese, you can just call me Sana!"

"My name is Hirai Momo. I'm also Japanese. You can call me Momo."

The two chatted with Chou Tzu-yu back and forth while subtly observing the girl.

Actually, Li Mingye suddenly sent them a message today asking them to do something: help take care of one of his younger sisters.

Although the two were puzzled, they readily agreed, since they were such good friends and it was only right to help each other out.

Before they met, the two were discussing whether this younger sister was actually Li Mingye's girlfriend.

Now that we've met, seeing Chou Tzu-yu's youthful and innocent appearance, and knowing her age, we can pretty much confirm that she is indeed just a younger sister.

"If it weren't just my sister, I would have called the police." Hirai Momo thought to herself with a slightly darker tone, but looking at Chou Tzu-yu's innocent face, she felt that Li Mingye probably wasn't that heartless.

After chatting for about ten minutes, Sana Minatozaki was already sitting down next to Tzuyu without any sense of distance, and had her arm around her.

The group chatted and laughed, creating a harmonious atmosphere, and they even felt as if they had known each other for a long time.

The conversation mostly revolved around Li Mingye, since she was their only mutual friend. They all listened with great interest and shared their observations of Li Mingye.

"Wow, you never told me about this before, why are you only telling me now?" Hirai Momo gently patted Minatozaki Sana's shoulder and complained somewhat resentfully.

Sana Minatozaki leaned on Tzuyu's shoulder with a grin and said matter-of-factly:

"Because I feel a strong connection with Tzuyu."

Chou Tzu-yu blushed and smiled, feeling a surge of warmth from the warmth on her shoulder.

As expected, oppa's friends are good people too...

They talked for another half hour in the lounge, with a TV playing nearby. Suddenly, Sana Minatozaki seemed to have a brilliant idea, and her eyes lit up:

"Sitting here is so boring, let's go shopping! As we go, I want to buy some clothes!"

Hirai Momo nodded naturally and gave an "OK" sign.

Chou Tzu-yu hesitated for a moment, then looked at the expectant eyes of the two of them and finally nodded with a smile.

"OK! Go go go!" Sana Minatozaki said energetically.

……

Inside a high-end restaurant in Los Angeles, Li Mingye, watching Li Duoen chatter incessantly across from him, secretly took out his phone and sent a message to Minatozaki Sana:

"Sana, how are you?"

A few seconds later, her phone vibrated. Sana Minatozaki quickly replied with a smug puppy emoji, then added:

"Don't worry, Tzuyu is super cute! We're out shopping right now."

After reading Sana Minato's reply, Li Mingye nodded silently to himself, a smile playing on his lips.

Leaving this kind of thing to Sana will definitely solve the problem.

"Hey oppa, who are you talking to?" Lee Da-eun noticed his little action, her sharp eyes catching the smile on his lips. She looked a little dissatisfied and pouted.

"A friend is looking for me." Li Mingye remained calm, put away his phone, and poured her a glass of water.

Upon hearing this, Li Du'en immediately showed interest, her gossip-loving soul burning brightly, and asked, "Friends? Male or female?"

"It's a woman," Li Mingye answered truthfully.

"Eh?" Lee Da-eun grinned mischievously, leaning closer like a little detective. "Is she your girlfriend? Oppa, you're smiling so smugly!"

"no."

Li Mingye glared at her, about to say that his girlfriend was someone else, but then he thought about his younger sister's personality and stopped himself.

"What happened to that Japanese guy at school?" Li Mingye abruptly changed the subject.

Li Du'en was indeed swayed, her eyes instantly lighting up as she began to complain:

"She was so incredibly boring, that time..."
