Peninsula: The Deepest Affection in Jiangnan

Chapter 121 Bitter Memories

Xu Youqing explicitly declined Shen Yu's invitation to participate in the live stream.

She came to see Shen Yu about work-related matters.

"The Grammys! Such a big Grammy, if it weren't for this, why would I have come all the way here to tell you right away!"

For most people in the music industry, being invited to the Grammys is indeed a rare and significant event.

The Oscars of the music world—you're just one step away from the trophy. Who wouldn't feel a mix of anxiety and excitement?

Shen Yu didn't feel anything.

Seeing that the man's expression didn't change much, Xu Youqing got a little angry again.

"You! Shen Yu! The Grammys have invited you to the awards ceremony and hope you can prepare for the opening performance. It's evening here, but it's morning in the US! So I rushed over to find you. The representative also asked what your thoughts were."

Shen Yu's indifference made it seem as if she had done something wrong.

"sure."

Looking at Shen Yu's expression, Xu Youqing didn't know what to say.

Shen Yu also took a sip of iced Americano.

"Nuna, relax, it's just the Grammys."

"Grammys, is that all? Do you know that Seoul has only ever had nominees, never a winner? Even putting aside the award, you're the first person in the entire country to have you perform the opening act!"

"————"

Well, it's a matter of national honor, so Shen Yu couldn't say anything.

It's just that times have changed, and even the Grammys need to embrace diversity. Shen Yu believes that this is the main reason he was selected.

Of course, putting aside political matters, purely from a musical point of view, Shen Yu's work is indeed excellent. However, setting aside the underlying politics, the award would not even be valid.

Shen Yu took it all in stride, but Xu Youqing didn't see it that way.

But that doesn't stop Shen Yu from easily dealing with her.

"Okay, Noona, thank you for coming all this way. I promise I won't ignore your calls next time."

He hugged Xu Youqing tightly, his eyes instantly turning red as he watched this petite woman blush. Then, he spun her around, supporting her shoulders.

Nuna is quite well-endowed; she feels like a big toy when you hold her.

"Let's go, I'll treat you to a late-night snack to celebrate this good news, okay?"

"Huh? Oh—okay, alright."

Caught off guard by the sudden attack, Xu Youqing forgot all these things and was led by Shen Yu to a food stall near Lunxian Cave in a daze.

While Shen Yu was out having dinner, Tian Guo was blocked at the door by his manager.

"Where are they?! Where is that woman?! What's going on with you?!"

"I—no, I didn't know she'd be here so early!"

"You don't know? If you don't know, who does?"

The agent was quite helpless. He had only released Tian Guo for a few days, and now he was causing trouble again.

"It's not my fault, it's all—I already broke up with her!"

"So, you're getting a mixed bag? Ugh! Look at you!"

Tian Guoguo felt helpless. He was about to enlist in the army and become a monk, so couldn't he at least let his cousin relax a bit?

It's rare for his ex-girlfriend to rekindle their old flame. He's been missing her scent for a long time, and on White Valentine's Day, he wants to have a happy night!

Whose fault is it? Shouldn't it be the company's? Why did they organize this WVS live stream and make me promote and sell light sticks? If it weren't for this, wouldn't I have been sleeping with Lee Mi-joo by now?

Even if they were at fault, putting aside the facts, didn't the fans and the company also make some mistakes?

Ido | Shouldn't the stage be the focus of attention?!

I abide by the law, yet you all insist on crawling under my bed to pry into my private life. You're just bored!

Tian Guo felt that he was already quite excellent as an IdoI, and was already at the top level in Ido|.

The solo stages were all high-level live singing and dancing performances, and you're still not satisfied?!

"Why don't you guys do anything about Kim Taehyung dating Jennie?! Why are you always interfering?!"

"————" The agent paused for a second.

"Taehyung and Jennie?"

"Yeah, he's doing so well! Why is it that all the news lately is only about me? Are they crazy?!"

At this point, Tian Guo became even angrier. Kim Taehyung was clearly not as handsome as him, but he managed to date a top female celebrity, while he was still having a rekindled romance with his ex-girlfriend, a tattoo artist.

Who can he complain to?

An angry Tian Guo slammed the corner bottle on the table, and the glass fell onto the carpet, but luckily it didn't break.

Just as he was about to go up and give him another kick, the phantom pain in his toe reminded him that he was still a patient.

If he kicks him again, he'll be in the hospital again.

"————" The stiff toes were still one centimeter away from the horn bottle.

Jeon Jungkook pulled his feet back and took a deep breath to calm himself down.

"Alright, the company will handle this matter cleanly for you. You'd better take care of yourself."

The manager didn't bother to say more. There had been rumors about Kim Taehyung and Jennie before, but HYBE basically didn't take them seriously.

However, HYBE's department recently received a blackmail charge from hackers regarding this very incident. If they didn't pay enough hush money, the hackers planned to release photos of Kim Taehyung's relationship.

The manager felt helpless. They were all about to enlist in the military, so why couldn't BTS members just give him a break?

The next day.

Shen Yu arrived at the studio carrying an insulated box.

Last night, I drank quite a bit with Xu Youqing. When it was time to leave, Shen Yu took a taxi to send Youqing home.

Fortunately, this Nuna had good drinking manners; when she drank too much, she would just stare blankly and smile foolishly, and nothing troublesome happened.

After moving Xu Youqing from the taxi into the apartment, Shen Yu found that she could take care of herself, so he turned and left.

Back home, perhaps because of the alcohol, Shen Yu couldn't sleep soundly in bed.

After thinking for a while, he rummaged through the refrigerator and found that the milk he had stored there was about to expire.

Shen Yu took out all the milk, combined it with egg whites and sugar, and used a set of eight unused small bowls to turn the milk into a milk jelly similar to double-skin milk pudding.

Unlike his Chinese predecessors who were time travelers, he wasn't an expert cook and would give Ido a thumbs-up, exclaiming, "Chinese food is so delicious!"

Then add some home cooking scenes, and he'll win over a female idol.

Shen Yu had read novels like this before, but unfortunately his life was different.

He is quite good at making desserts.

The reason is that when he still believed in love, Shen Yu pursued a beautiful girl who loved sweets.

He made a special trip to a famous local dessert shop, where the manager was said to be a senior pastry chef who graduated from Le Cordon Bleu.

Shen Yu studied under the shop manager for a period of time and learned how to make many desserts and breads.

Then I heard that the girl married a foreigner.

The memories of the past are truly bitter.

Shen Yu took a sip of the non-iced Americano he hadn't finished before leaving the house, and checked the time; it was almost 6 a.m.

I put bowls of milk pudding into the refrigerator, planning to buy some ready-made red bean paste or diced fruit before going to work to share with others at the office.

He himself couldn't possibly eat that much double-skin milk pudding.

I went downstairs for a run, then came back, washed up, and lay down for a short nap.

Shen Yu successfully arrived at the YG building during lunchtime.
