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

Li Mingye applied slight pressure with his palm, causing the little rabbit in his arms to let out a series of whimpering sounds of pain.

"Stop pinching... you're going to break it if you keep pinching it..."

Lim Na-yeon protested softly, her voice gentle and weak, carrying the exhaustion of a battle. Even her pushing movements seemed feeble and powerless, more like a playful attempt to resist.

"I'm helping you develop, you should understand my good intentions."

Li Mingye continued his actions, even mischievously teasing the object with his fingertips.

Whether massage can actually make you bigger is another matter; he was just using any excuse to take advantage of you.

Lim Nayeon trembled at the sudden stimulation, her back arching slightly.

After hearing what he said, she showed a somewhat dissatisfied expression and pouted her lips high.

"Are you saying I'm too young?"

How could this even be mentioned?

Lee Myung-yeop was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and rubbed his nose against Lim Na-yeon's nose.

"Where is Nayeon too small? You're the perfect size, and you feel the best."

After saying that, as if to prove his point, he scratched his left hand.

"Well……"

Lin Na-yeon, embarrassed and annoyed, moved away the wolf's mischievous paw, her eyes like those of a wronged little wife.

"You can't dislike me..."

Li Mingye's heart softened, and he gently kissed her forehead, giving her a direct sense of reassurance.

Because of the inequality in status and identity, Lim Na-yeon sometimes falls into self-pity and constantly compares herself with others.

She trusted everything Li Mingye said without question, but she couldn't help worrying that he would be lured away by other women. Especially since Li Mingye was an actor, and he was always flirting with so many beautiful women, it was hard not to overthink it.

She also watched episode 15 of "The Heirs" which aired a few days ago. The kissing scene between Lee Myung-yeop and Kim Ji-won in the episode was discussed and flooded the internet by countless people. It made her feel so angry that she almost threw her hair out.

Even so, she never mentioned this to Li Mingye, for fear that he would think she was jealous.

Li Mingye felt a surge of tenderness as he watched Lin Nayeon nestled against his chest like a devoted wife.

"Nayeon is going to be a top idol, how could I possibly look down on you?"

"What TOP idol? They might not even debut yet..." Lim Nayeon gently poked his chest, her tone still revealing uncertainty about the future and worry about the company discovering their relationship.

Li Mingye grabbed the little hand that was poking around and intertwined his fingers with hers.

"Nayeon will definitely debut, I promise you."

He wore a nonchalant smile, but his eyes were deep and resolute.

Lim Nayeon stared blankly at Lee Myung-yeop's smiling face so close to hers, completely mesmerized.

No matter what it is, she feels that as long as it comes out of Li Mingye's mouth, she will believe it without a doubt.

Without continuing the discussion of this somewhat serious topic, Li Mingye rolled over and covered the helpless little rabbit with his broad body.

"Have you rested well?"

"...Aren't you tired?"

Lim Nayeon's voice sounded somewhat helpless, yet also sweet.

……

"Hyunseok hyung, could you talk to Director Choi and ask him to express his opinion on someone, and to be firm in his stance? The name is..."

Lee Myung-yeop leaned back in the car seat and gave instructions to Kim Hyun-seok, who was driving.

Kim Hyun-seok nodded, a slightly gossipy expression flashing in the rearview mirror.

After Li Mingye finished speaking, he asked with great interest:

"Girlfriend?"

He had watched Li Mingye grow up, so he was still somewhat curious about this kind of thing.

Especially since Li Mingye had never cared about these things before, it was clear that this woman was extraordinary.

Li Mingye didn't evade the question and answered directly, "Yes."

Kim Hyun-seok rarely interfered in his private life outside of work, and always maintained a considerable amount of private space for him, so he basically knew nothing about Lim Na-yeon's affairs.

Kim Hyun-seok nodded knowingly, and without asking any further questions, said instead:

"But if that's the case, Junyuan will probably find out."

Director Cui was a representative sent by his second brother, so he would most likely inform his second brother about this matter.

Li Mingye waved his hand dismissively: "So what if you know? It's okay."

Even if his second brother was curious, he would at most investigate Lim Nayeon's background and wouldn't do anything else.

No matter what, it's just dating, nothing serious.

Kim Hyun-seok stopped dwelling on personal matters and got down to business:

"After GG finishes filming, there's a magazine interview about his student days. You can think about how to answer beforehand."

Li Mingye nodded, his gaze fixed on the fleeting street scene outside the window.

Since the airing of "The Heirs", he has taken on a lot of gigs and endorsements, but the gig he is going to shoot today is a bit special.

—It's OLENS.

He has a deep connection with OLENS. After his recent surge in popularity, OLENS quickly extended an olive branch, wanting to continue their collaboration and even directly offering him the role of their spokesperson.

The brand has a suitable style that doesn't look cheap, GG has good taste, it can provide good publicity for him, and he's not stingy with money. Previous collaborations have been very pleasant, so there's no reason not to accept it.

Of course, another important point is that their collaboration again is a great story to tell, and many people's first impression of him is still "a man with the ocean in his eyes".

Adding a story to the existing connection will double the promotional effect.

As soon as I got off the bus, the person in charge, whom I had met before, greeted me warmly with a smile brighter than the sun.

"Mingye is becoming more and more dazzling; he's got the makings of a superstar!"

The person in charge's expression and tone were as exaggerated as ever, but his smile was friendly, and he shook hands vigorously when they shook hands.

Li Mingye maintained a polite smile in response.

This person in charge reaped the full benefits after GG's success and is now the head of the GG department. He can be said to be riding high lately.

They complemented each other well and maintained a good relationship.

"This time, GG doesn't need to be unconventional, in a little while..."

……

GG's filming ended in the evening.

The reason for this speed is twofold: firstly, Li Mingye's acting skills are now highly proficient, resulting in very few takes; and secondly, the filming difficulty is very low.

It's basically just shooting in an indoor studio, with no plot or depth, and doesn't require much emotional outburst. Just give him a few close-up shots and that's it.

It seems that the person in charge has become quite conservative after his successful promotion, prioritizing stability.

After politely saying goodbye to the staff, Li Mingye got back into his car and took out his phone to check his messages.

The screen lit up, and a Kakao Talk message popped up.

The sender was Chou Tzu-yu.

"Oppa, are you free tomorrow?"
