Peninsula: My Top-Tier Landlord

Chapter 103 Senior?

After returning to Seoul, Ye Fan finally felt much more at ease.

"Should we go straight back to my place?" While waiting at the traffic light, Ye Fan asked Bae Joo-hyun about her plans after she woke up.

"Let's go back to my place first. I need to get something." Bae Joo-hyun covered her mouth and yawned.

"Why don't you move to my place? It's bigger." Bae Joo-hyun suggested, rubbing her face. Her place has three bedrooms and is quite spacious. The one she rented to Ye Fan is only two bedrooms, and now it's filled with a lot of stuff, so there doesn't seem to be enough space.

"No thanks, I'm used to living there." Ye Fan shook his head and refused.

Moving is troublesome, especially since it's not that far away. He's been watching a lot of Korean variety shows lately, and many of them like to surprise celebrities by visiting their homes.

Although there are very few female surprise visitors, some regular MCs on the show might be thinking about doing some program tasks or visiting. Bae Joo-beol is also making a comeback and will be releasing a solo album, and she will also be appearing on variety shows.

Just in case.

"Okay, then I'll go back and get some changes of clothes, and then I'll go back to your place." Hearing Ye Fan's explanation, Pei Zhufa knew that Ye Fan was thinking of her, so she didn't insist. Anyway, they had two homes, so she could stay wherever she wanted.

She has some clothes with Ye Fan, but not many; she still needs to go back and get some more.

"OK.

Ye Fan nodded, first taking Pei Zhufa back to her apartment complex, then going upstairs with her and waiting for her to get ready in the living room.

When Ye Fan returned to his rented room, he felt refreshed and relaxed. After changing his shoes, he lay down on the sofa.

Pei Zhufa took the clothes she had changed out of over the past two days to the washing machine, and her underwear to the bathroom to be hand-washed. Ye Fan was tired after driving for several hours, so she told him to rest for a while.

Bae Joo-beom, the eldest member of the group, is also very experienced in taking care of people.

"It's definitely more comfortable to stay in my own little nest," Ye Fan sighed, getting up from the sofa and sitting down at his computer desk. He turned on his computer and logged into his Douyin account.

His fan base has now grown to 185 million, and he's just 15 short of breaking the 200 million mark, which is another milestone.

Now that he's with Pei Zhufa, Ye Fan has stopped doing those singing and flirting shows. He plans to just focus on singing and drop the flirting. It's okay if his fan base grows slowly; he still has a regular job and doesn't consider the internet his main occupation.

After glancing at the backend, Ye Fan noticed that several more merchants had contacted him. He reviewed the products and replied to each one.

Are you going to edit videos again?

Pei Zhufa came to the living room and saw that Ye Fan was no longer lying down, but was sitting in front of the computer as if he was working. She asked him a question.

"No, I've already finished editing the video, I'm just checking the backend messages."

After hanging up her clothes, Bae Joo-hyun came up behind Ye Fan, wrapped her arms around his neck and placed them on his chest, resting her chin on the top of his head. It was only because of the chair that she was lying on top of Ye Fan that she was practically leaning on him.

"What about replying to fans' messages?"

"More or less, and some news about GG merchants as well."

"Another GG merchant? How many are there?" Bae Joo-hyun stared intently at the dialog box on the computer screen, though she hadn't been studying much lately.

"There are four, but I haven't heard of two of them, so I can't agree to them." Ye Fan typed on the keyboard, replying to GG Merchant's message.

I've never heard of this brand, and I don't know anything about its quality. If it's a dishonest business, that would be terrible. They can't just lie to their fans.

"How is it? Can you still understand it?" Ye Fan asked with a smile.

Bae Joo-hyun was startled, like a student being checked by a teacher, and said embarrassedly, "I haven't been reviewing my lessons much lately, I almost didn't recognize you—"

Ye Fan had expected this to happen. Pei Zhufa had been playing around lately and hadn't been studying. Given that she hadn't been studying for very long, it was normal for her to have regressed.

"Now that you're back and have free time, do you still want to learn?"

"Of course I want it!" Bae Joo-fa said earnestly.

"Maybe we'll go back to your hometown for Chinese New Year this year? Once you've learned something, you can communicate with your aunt and uncle. Besides, there might be a trip to China later on."

"In that case, we'll have to start learning all over again."

"Okay, I'll try my best, Teacher Ye!"

"That----"

"I just got back and I'm tired. Let's start again tomorrow and take a day off!" Seeing that Ye Fan was already thinking about giving her a lesson, Bae Joo-hyun quickly said in a coquettish tone. They had just gotten back, so naturally they wanted to enjoy some time alone together.

"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say."

When Bae Joo-hyun started acting cute, Ye Fan couldn't resist and immediately raised his hands in surrender.

Before they were together, he couldn't resist Pei Zhufa's coquettishness. Now that they've confirmed their relationship and even had sex, Ye Fan is even less able to resist!

Ye Fan told Bae Joo-hyun to step back a little, then pushed off with his legs, moving the chair back to create some distance between it and the computer desk. He then pulled Bae Joo-hyun into his arms and had her sit on his lap.

What are you doing?

"Let me hug you. Want to watch a movie?" He rested his chin on Bae Joo-hyun's shoulder, smelling her fragrance, and felt completely relaxed. It was only 4 p.m., and there was still plenty of time.

Bae Joo-fa nodded. There was nothing else to do right now, so she decided to go out for dinner after watching a movie.

Ye Fan chose a domestic film because he wanted to learn a language, and watching movies and TV shows was very helpful.

Fortunately, there were subtitles, and with Ye Fan explaining things from behind, Bae Joo-hyun was able to learn as she watched.

After watching the movie, the two tidied up and left the neighborhood. It was the second day of the Lunar New Year, and the streets were still deserted, with many shops not yet open.

Wearing a mask, Bae Joo-hyun strolled along with Ye Fan, arm in arm. It was nice to be alone; it was quiet and peaceful, not too noisy, and she wasn't afraid of being recognized.

"I have a feeling that you were just trying to get me to study when we watched the movie together. You were really planning this."

"That's a win-win situation. You watch a movie and learn something at the same time. Isn't that great?" Ye Fan said with a smile.

"If you really want to learn, you can watch more Chinese movies or listen to more Chinese songs later, which will help your studies."

"Okay, Teacher Ye~"

"But Teacher Ye, you're really strict." Bae Joo-hyun raised her hand and tapped Ye Fan's chest.

"This is for your own good. Now that you've renewed your contract and are coming back, you'll be very busy."

Bae Joo-hyun's solo project is expected to be released in the second half of the year. This will be her first solo album, and it's the focus of her work this year. In addition, she has other commitments, including a family concert next week.

"I'll definitely review it every day from now on."

"You haven't uploaded the photos and videos you took in London to your account yet, have you?"

"Not yet. I was thinking of posting yours first, and then posting mine about two weeks later. What do you think? When are you planning to post yours?" Ye Fan asked.

After returning from Europe, Ye Fan sent her the edited videos, and she had already sent them to her company assistant. She didn't know if the editing was finished yet.

He just took some photos and turned them into a video. Editing is much faster. He had already finished it and was just waiting for Pei Zhufa to post it first. It had been sitting in his album all along.

Bae Joo-hyun shook her head. "I don't know yet, but it should be released by the end of this month."

Ye Fan had already cut out a lot of the boring parts, saving the assistant in charge of editing a lot of work. Then, with some subtitles and background music added, the seven videos would be ready to be released in no time.

"Then I'll release it next month." Ye Fan calculated the time and decided that he could release it in the middle of next month, since he still had many videos saved up in his album.

Ye Fan felt a tap on his arm and looked down to see Bae Joo-hyun pulling his hand out of her pocket. "What's wrong?"

Although puzzled, Ye Fan still cooperated by taking his hand out of his pocket. The next second, a soft little hand appeared in his palm. Ye Fan subconsciously bent his fingers and intertwined them.

"What are you doing?"

With her eyes curving into crescents, Bae Joo-hyun shook her head. "It's nothing, I just wanted to hold your hand, to hold it tightly and not let go."

Ye Fan's previous concerns were indeed valid. As an artist, she had many commitments, and this relationship was not very fair to her, as she would be busy with her schedule and might not be able to see Ye Fan for a period of time.

After they got together, Ye Fan prioritized himself in many things, not wanting the relationship to affect his work, which touched Pei Zhufa but also made her feel a little guilty.

"It sounds like a lyric, why are you suddenly getting sentimental?" Ye Fan joked.

"It's nothing, just a bit sentimental."

"By the way, now that you're not doing that show anymore, will your fan base still grow?" Bae Joo-hyun shook her head and changed the subject.

Ye Fan initially gained a million followers by doing that singing and flirting show. Now that he's stopped doing that show and is only singing, I'm afraid many fans won't accept it.

If his fan base stops growing and he doesn't get much traffic, then no more GG merchants will come looking for him, and Ye Fan's income will decrease, right?

"Why don't you open an account with us too?" Bae Joo-hyun suggested.

Many celebrities now run their own blog programs, so she could ask some friends to let Ye Fan appear on their blogs to increase her popularity.

Ye Fan shook his head. Why would he bother showing his face to increase his popularity? He wasn't involved in this circle, and besides, the benefits of increasing popularity here weren't much.

"No need for that, just let things take their course."

"Are you sure you don't need to?"

"No need. Asking others for favors would both incur favors and financial costs. There's no need for such trouble. I appreciate your kindness," Ye Fan said.

"Besides, what role will I play on their blog program? And wouldn't that count as my blogging debut?"

"If that's the case, then wouldn't I become your junior? Don't you think so, Irene-senpai?"

"Irene-senpai?"

Hearing this title, Bae Joo-beom became interested, feeling that she was not only talking about a younger man, but also the thrill of talking about a junior.

Ye Fan keenly sensed this, and said with a strange expression, "I have a feeling you're expecting something?"

"I didn't know you had this kind of fetish?" Ye Fan leaned down and whispered in Bae Joo-hyun's ear, "So, tonight I'll call you Irene-senpai?"

Bae Joo-hyun blushed and gave Ye Fan a coquettish glare, but did not utter a word in rebuttal.

"If you don't want to, then forget it. But if you have other plans, you can tell me."

Ye Fan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll ask you for help if I need it. But I'm quite satisfied with my life now, and I don't have that many ambitions."

He earns a good salary at his job, and he also earns some income from making short videos as a side hustle. If he has more time later, he's thinking of doing something else.

With a decent income and a fulfilling life, that's good enough. There's no need to squeeze into the entertainment industry or the online world.

"Will this make people think I'm not ambitious?"

"No, life can be just as simple and happy. Besides, you're already very ambitious. It's just that you have different goals." Bae Joo-hyun quickly shook her head and squeezed Ye Fan's hand even tighter.

They went to a Western restaurant and had a candlelight dinner, or as people say online these days, a fancy meal. Afterwards, they went to the cinema to watch a movie, just like any other couple.

Seulgi and the others were all busy and didn't have time to watch the movie. After that, they went home and didn't have any other activities.

"Go take a shower first, I'll sit for a while."

Back in her room, Pei Zhufa patted Ye Fan on the shoulder, telling him to rest for a while and reply to some messages.

Ye Fan had been driving for several hours today and was more tired than her, so she told him to go wash up first. As for herself, she had things to do later.

Ye Fan nodded, picked up his pajamas, and went to take a shower.

As soon as he left, Pei Zhufa turned on the air conditioner in the room, then opened the wardrobe and took out a floral dress. Everyone said that boys like this kind of outfit, and she had seen Ye Fan's eyes light up when she wore it before.

Bae Joo-hyun thought for a moment, then took out a pair of round-framed glasses.

Having made preparations, Pei Zhufa put everything away, picked up her phone to continue replying to messages, and waited for Ye Fan to return after his shower.

"It's your turn to wash."

A dozen minutes later, Ye Fan returned to his room and casually patted her on the butt as he passed by.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

After taking the prepared items, Pei Zhuzi took small, quick steps out of the room, while Ye Fan lifted the covers and lay down inside, picking up his phone to read a novel.

In the bathroom, after taking a shower, Bae Joo-beom changed into a floral dress, styled her hair, and put on her glasses.

"Okay, that should work."

The door opened, and Ye Fan glanced up, then immediately paused, staring blankly at Bae Joo-hyun's outfit.

"You—you are—"

Bae Joo-hyun lifted her skirt and twirled around, playfully asking, "Looks good, right?"

"That's natural."

Ye Fan was about to ask why she was dressed like that, but then he suddenly remembered telling Bae Joo-hyun a couple of days ago to wear a skirt.

So that's what happened!

Ah Pei, are you serious?!

Ye Fan got off the bed, walked quickly to Pei Zhufa, kissed her on the forehead, and then picked her up in his arms. "Senior Irene, you look so beautiful in this outfit."

""

Bae Joo-hyun wrapped her arms around his neck and said emotionally, "Love me~"

How can you disobey your girlfriend?
