Peninsula: My Top-Tier Landlord

Ye Fan leaned wearily against his chair at his workstation, looking utterly listless.

"Something's not right. Is he completely drained?" He Zhonglei teased when he saw Ye Fan's appearance.

He's been working here for quite a while and knows what Christmas means here; for couples, it's like Valentine's Day.

Ye Fan had just said he had a girlfriend not long ago, and he already looked exhausted right after Christmas. It's easy to guess.

"It's not quite what you described, but it's pretty much the same," Ye Fan said. He was exhausted after a long day, and he had to get up early for work, so it would be strange if he wasn't in good spirits.

The phone screen lit up with a message popping up. Ye Fan picked it up and glanced at it; it was a message from Bae Joo-hyun.

Good morning, having breakfast.

The message was accompanied by a selfie in which Bae Joo-hyun winked and made a peace sign at the camera, looking quite good.

Ye Fan replied with a tired emoji.

Bae Joo-hyun replied to the message instantly, sending a comforting emoji of patting someone's head.

"I won't be coming over these next two nights. You should get some rest. I need to rehearse with Seulgi and Seungwan. We'll be leaving in a couple of days."

After replying to Ye Fan's message, Bae Joo-hyun exited the chat window with him and began replying to Seulgi and the senior brothers and sisters who had come over last night.

Kim Heechul and Kim Tae-yeon both sent congratulatory messages last night, but she was drunk at the time.

After finishing breakfast, Bae Joo-hyun tidied up the living room before putting on her coat and shoes, grabbing her car keys, and leaving. She planned to go home, take a shower, and then go to the company for rehearsal.

"Unnie, you left so early last night, did anything come of it?"

Upon seeing Bae Joo-hyun appear in the practice room, Kang Seul-gi immediately went up to her and asked what was going on.

Yesterday was Christmas! Something must have happened between those you're flirting with and those you're in a relationship with. It was a good day to confess your feelings, and on such a cold day, it was perfect for snuggling up and falling asleep together.

"No progress. Just like the previous two times, I only slept at his house." Bae Joo-hyun shook her head and put down her bag.

"That's it? Yesterday was Christmas, didn't you two go on a date?" Kang Seulgi was stunned; there hadn't been any progress yet!

"Hmm, it was a date, but it was just a normal outing like when we went to Jeju Island before, nothing special."

Kang Seulgi frowned, looking at the smile on her older sister's lips with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Then why are you smiling so happily?"

Despite the lack of progress during a holiday like Christmas, he wasn't discouraged at all; in fact, he seemed quite happy.

Bae Joo-hyun slightly raised her head. Although there was no progress, it made her even happier, as it proved Ye Fan's character and his seriousness about relationships.

"What a pity..." Kang Seulgi clicked her tongue. New Year's Eve would have been a good opportunity, but they had overseas trips, which would have separated them.

"Take your time. Okay, let's start rehearsing."

Dragging his tired body home, Ye Fan looked at the clean living room and chuckled softly. He sent Bae Joo-hyun a thank-you message, changed his shoes, and sat down at his computer desk. Ye Fan took out the figurine box that Bae Joo-hyun had given him yesterday and opened it.

I was too tired yesterday. After putting my things away, I went back to my room and didn't feel like unpacking anything.

It was a Wizard figurine. Ye Fan placed it next to Decade's. If Bae Joo-hyun gave him another figurine later, he would have to buy a storage box to put it in, as his computer case was almost full.

Since Bae Joo-hyun wasn't coming, Ye Fan simply cooked two dishes for a quick dinner and then sat back down at his computer. He still had some video drafts saved, and since he didn't have to teach Bae Joo-hyun and it was still early, he planned to do a live stream for a while.

After setting up the equipment, Ye Fan clicked to start the broadcast, and the computer screen switched to live streaming mode.

Ye Fan didn't send any notifications, and not many people joined the live stream. The number of viewers in the upper right corner remained at 0. After about two minutes, fans saw Ye Fan's avatar flashing red and knew he was live, so they clicked in, and the number of viewers started to rise.

"Damn, the Emperor didn't even notify us before starting his live stream!"

"Finally, the show's on! Answer me right now, what's going on between you and my sister?! (Angry)"

"Don't you dare lay a hand on my sister!"

As Ye Fan had expected, the fans kept asking about Bae Joo-hyun after they came in.

Ye Fan glanced at the top right corner; there were only a little over 100 viewers currently watching the live stream.

For a content creator with a million followers, this is a very small number of viewers for a live stream. Of course, this is also because Ye Fan doesn't stream often.

Some have hundreds of thousands of followers, but those who frequently go live can have thousands of viewers in their live streams.

"Welcome to the live stream." Ye Fan waved at the camera, greeted the fans in the live stream, and then glanced at the messages they sent.

"Cough, I didn't do anything to your sister. We're just friends who filmed a video together. It's not what you're thinking," Ye Fan answered a fan's question.

This shouldn't be considered a lie, right? He really didn't lay a hand on Bae Joo-hyun; on the contrary, it was Bae Joo-hyun who attacked him.

"That's good. I almost went to Seoul to get you!"

"So how did you two meet? My sister is really socially awkward, how did you manage to connect with her? You're really something!"

Will Irene renew her contract?

Some Red Velvet fans are asking about Bae Joo-hyun's contract status, since all of Red Velvet's contracts have expired, and only Seulgi has signed a renewal contract, while there's still no news about the others.

How could Ye Fan know about such work-related matters? And even if he did know, he would never tell anyone, otherwise SM would punish him.

Ye Fan shook his head and answered only the questions he could answer, leaving the rest unanswered. The fans didn't press him further and asked other questions, which Ye Fan answered one by one.

After chatting for nearly half an hour, the number of people in the live stream gradually increased, exceeding 500.

Chatting alone can get a bit boring. During this time, the boss gave him a gift, and Ye Fan sang a song. Then, the fans encouraged him to go online and play a PK battle.

After finishing practice, she had dinner with Seulgi and Seungwan and returned home. Looking at the deserted living room, Bae Joo-hyun felt a little uncomfortable.

After changing her shoes, she went to the living room, took out her phone to send a message to Ye Fan, and saw an unread message from Ye Xin.

"Xiao Xin?"

Bae Joo-hyun was a little surprised, as she and Ye Xin hadn't chatted for a while.

Curious, Bae Joo-hyun checked the messages Ye Xin had sent.

"Sister-in-law, my brother is chatting with a young lady, go and teach him a lesson!"

The message was followed by a screenshot. Bae Joo-hyun took a closer look and saw that Ye Fan was live streaming, and on the other side of the screen was a rather cute girl.

Bae Joo-hyun: ?
