Peninsula: These female celebrities are all so neurotic.

Chapter 97 Girls' Generation, Unfamiliar with the Business (5K)

After Bae Joo-hyun's emergency training, which was tinged with her own ulterior motives, Liu Zimu's performance improved slightly.

He stood in front of the mirror, staring at the man in the image wearing the same hoodie as him.

I've memorized all the movements.

He raised his hand when he was supposed to, and turned around when he was supposed to, hitting every beat perfectly, but something just didn't feel right.

But for other people, it's just funny, it's just cringeworthy.

"Oppa." Kim Ye-rim got up from the ground and walked to his side, "Do you know who you're mimicking when you dance?"

Who does he resemble?

"It's as funny as when Kwangsoo sunbaenim dances." She'd lost count of how many times she'd laughed. "We're trained; we don't usually laugh unless we really can't help it!"

"Hey! Kim Ye-rin, shut up." Liu Zi-mu interrupted her.

Kim Ye-rin didn't shut up; instead, she turned to look at Kim Qiu-tian: "Qiu-tian, you be the judge. Am I right?"

Jin Qiutian stood on the other side of the mirror, still panting.

After jumping several times, her bangs were a little wet and stuck to her forehead, and her face was flushed.

She couldn't afford to offend either of them, so she didn't dare to respond to Kim Ye-rin. Instead, she focused her gaze on herself in the mirror, looking at herself from left to right, and then looking at herself again.

"Autumn?" Kim Ye-rin called out again.

"Huh? Yerin unnie," Kim Chul-gu pretended to hear and turned to look at her, "Oppa..."

'

She glanced at Liu Zimu, then looked away, her voice lowering: "It's fine."

Kim Ye-rin rolled her eyes. "Your 'family-friends' filter is way too strong."

Park Soo-young leaned against the wall and said, "Oppa, just ignore him. He's just there to make us laugh. But Qiu Chui has really improved a lot. From the first time to this time, he's a completely different person."

She was telling the truth.

During her first attempt, Jin Qiutian was so nervous that her whole body was stiff, and she started making mistakes halfway through the movements.

The second time I loosened up a bit and started to dare to make bigger movements.

By the third time, she was completely relaxed. Her shoulders opened up, her neck stopped hunching, and even her expression was right.

In the round that just ended, she was able to temporarily replace Kang Seulgi.

Liu Zimu looked at Jin Qiutian in the mirror. She was bending down to adjust her cuffs. Her movements were quite natural, and there was even a slight smile on her lips. She seemed much more confident.

"Little Autumn".

"Oppa, what's wrong?" Jin Qiutian looked up.

"You turned around even more cleanly than Yerin did."

Kim Ye-rin was unhappy and jumped up from the ground. "What?! Oppa, what did you say? Where am I not clean? Open your eyes and look carefully..."

'

She walked to the mirror and repeated the turn she had just made, her movements perfectly executed.

After finishing, he turned around and glared at Liu Zimu: "Did you see that clearly?"

Liu Zimu didn't look at her, still watching Jin Qiutian: "Who danced Seulgi's part during this last take?"

Jin Qiutian paused for a moment, her lips moved slightly, but she didn't say anything.

Bae Joo-hyun grinned and raised her hand next to Liu Zimu: "Autumn, don't you know?"

She and Liu Zimu were barely more than a meter apart, and this woman made no attempt to hide her ulterior motives.

"That's right, that was just right." Liu Zimu walked to the camera, bent down to watch the playback, swiped his finger across the screen a few times, and dragged the progress bar to the second half. In the picture, Jin Qiutian was standing in the center position, doing the chorus movements.

The angle of the outstretched arms, the range of hip rotation, and even the flicking of the hair were all perfectly timed.

"If this is posted, it should get 50,000 likes without any problem, right?" he muttered to himself.

Because he wanted to call it a day and really didn't want to jump anymore.

It wasn't just to reduce contact with Bae Joo-beom, but also to reduce her screen time.

Jin Qiutian came over at some point, stood behind him, and stood on tiptoe to look at the screen.

The camera just happened to capture her doing that wave motion, flowing smoothly from her chest down to her hips.

She looked at him for two seconds, then blushed slightly: "Oppa."

"Huh? You scared me."

"Oppa, is that me?" Her tone was a little uncertain. "I can't believe I can dance so well."

Liu Zimu turned to look at her. Jin Qiutian's eyes were bright. She no longer felt the shame she had felt before, but was quite excited.

"That's it, the end!"

"Your part isn't good enough yet." Pei Zhufa walked over from behind and stood on Liu Zimu's other side, clearly displeased. How could she let him run away like that?

She even deliberately stayed very close to Liu Zimu.

"What's wrong with me?" Liu Zimu took half a step to the side, pointing to himself on the screen. "Didn't I do all the movements correctly?"

"Doing it right and doing it well are two different things." Bae Joo-hyun bent down to look at the screen, her hair slipping down from her shoulders and hanging above the screen.

She tapped the screen with her finger, pointing to the spot where he had made the initial gesture: "Look at this spot, it's not right."

Moreover, you weren't handsome at all in the entire video; you were just plain funny.

Liu Zimu stared at the screen for two seconds, then looked up at Bae Joo-hyun: "I don't care."

Bae Joo-beom stood up straight, took two steps back, raised her right hand to her chest, kept her wrist still, and pushed her elbow outward, performing a set of movements.

The movement wasn't large, but the arc and rhythm were more pleasing to the eye than his: "Did you see it clearly?"

Liu Zimu didn't answer, but also raised his hand and tried it.

He just used too much force, and his whole arm swung out, like he was swatting a fly.

Kim Ye-rin chuckled again from behind.

Liu Zimu was immediately provoked: "Alright, alright! That was perfect!"

Kim Ye-rin stopped laughing: "That's it? Don't you want us to do it again? Your expectations are too low. I'm not laughing at you anymore."

Liu Zimu glanced at the three people sitting beside him, watching the spectacle unfold, and firmly shook his head: "I'm not coming!"

Then he pointed to the ribbon on his head: "Autumn is the main character, I'll just be the comedic relief. And wasn't my lip-syncing solo just now cool? I'm the lead vocalist, Yoo Seung-wan."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening, and then burst into laughter.

You know, that's the funniest place!

Finally, if they had to do it one more time, only Bae Joo-hyun was still persisting.

She quietly placed her hand on Liu Zimu's waist and pinched it, getting quite close: "Oppa~ really not going to do it again?"

Beside them, Kim Tae-yeon and Sunny were holding up their phones and laughing non-stop, oblivious to Bae Joo-fa's subtle actions.

However, this scene was spotted by the sharp-eyed Lim Yoona.

She was laughing, but her laughter was extremely dangerous.

Liu Zimu actually knew that she was trying to figure out what this scumbag of a man was up to.

Especially when Bae Joo-fa interacted with him, her eyes would flash with cold light, full of discomfort and disgust.

"Oh! Kids, we've been waiting for ages!" Sunny laughed, clutching her stomach, then gestured with her chin toward Liu Zimu. "Are you and Girls' Generation still going to dance? Noona came all this way."

Liu Zimu glanced at Lin Yoona and then at Jin Qiutian.

Jin Qiutian stood there, her hands behind her back, her fingernails digging into the seams of her jeans, and she started to get nervous again.

"Jump!" Liu Zimu clenched his fists. For the sake of his future senior Qiutian, he had no choice but to give it his all. "Just wait a moment, I need to go to the restroom first."

Everyone was speechless.

In the corridor.

Liu Zimu leaned against the wall, and Jin Qiutian stood next to him, rubbing her feet together.

"Aki-senpai, are you nervous?"

"Hey! Oppa, why are you calling me Autumn Senior?"

"Because I always watch you demonstrate my dance moves, you're my senior, so please take good care of me later!"

"I wasn't nervous before because I was already quite familiar with Joo-hyun unnie and the others." Kim Qiu-tian looked up. "But now, they... are Girls' Generation."

Liu Zimu looked at her. There was nervousness in Jin Qiutian's eyes, but not just nervousness, there was also longing.

"Autumn, you actually wanted to dance with them, didn't you?"

Jin Qiutian was stunned for a moment: "What? I..."

"6

Liu Zimu affectionately ruffled her hair: "Don't waste time, I just want to ask you which Girls' Generation song you want to dance to."

She lowered her head, her feet shuffling several times before she finally spoke: "Oppa, can I dance 'Into the New World' with my seniors?"

Liu Zimu paused for a moment.

This was Girls' Generation's debut song, and Jin Qiutian was only five years old at the time.

But she also hopes to debut and realize her dream.

"Sure," Liu Zimu smiled. "Just remember to be polite when you say it yourself later."

Jin Qiutian raised her head, her eyes widening slightly.

Should I say it myself? I'm afraid!

Unbeknownst to the two, a pair of eyes were fixed on them from the doorway of the practice room.

She gritted her teeth and said, "You dog of a man, why don't you have such good patience with me?"

Liu Zimu and Jin Qiutian returned to the practice room.

When Jin Qiutian lowered her head and said the song title somewhat shyly, the practice room fell silent for a moment.

Kim Tae-yeon stared at Kim Qiu-tian, then turned to look at Sunny, her eyes conveying the question: What did she just say?

Sunny leaned against the wall, arms crossed, a twitch at the corner of her mouth, and finally managed to stammer out, "Into the New World?"

That was their debut song in 2007.

Eleven years have passed.

They went from being naive young girls to becoming industry veterans, from sharing a bed in a dormitory to living in their own mansions, from performing on the street with no one to seeing their concert tickets sell out in seconds.

It's not that they can't, but they haven't danced this dance in a long time.

It's been so long, the details are all blurry. Is it really okay to be so embarrassing?

"Autumn." Sunny stood up straight, ran her hand through the ends of her hair, her expression conflicted, revealing the embarrassment of an elderly person being called upon to perform a talent. "Do you have some misunderstanding about us? We need to go back and review that song before we can dance to it."

"Okay, then we can dance something else too." Jin Qiutian immediately compromised, and lowered her head shyly and self-reproachfully, her ear tips turning so red they could bleed.

Liu Zimu crossed his arms, looking like he was watching a good show: "You Girls' Generation members are so unprofessional, you don't even dare to dance your debut song."

Then he deliberately waved his hand and said, "Zhenghua, pack your things and leave. Those three can't even dance their own dance."

Sunny jumped up suddenly: "Hey! Liu Zimu, who can't dance? Dance this!"

Liu Zimu's lips slowly parted into a smile.

Yoona shook her head helplessly: "Unnie, he's playing a trick on you! Aren't you usually the smartest one?"

"Damn it. Liu Zimu, I'll remember you!" Sunny also realized what was going on. "Yoona, this is just for the variety show..."

""

Then he looked at Liu Zimu and rubbed his thumb and forefinger together.

Liu Zimu held up three fingers: "Go to my coffee shop, three times for free!"

"Deal!" Sunny held out her hand to sign the deal, afraid he might change his mind!

Bae Joo-hyun stared intently at the two clasped hands, gritting her teeth again: You dog of a man, who gave you permission to hold another woman's hand?

Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah exchanged a glance, how embarrassing!

The matter was settled.

Kim Tae-yeon suddenly asked, "Oh? I've completely forgotten the moves for the second verse of the chorus."

Sunny rolled her eyes: "I only vaguely remember the first verse."

"Hey!" Kim Tae-yeon roared at her little lamb, "Who told you to agree!?"

Lim Yoona didn't say anything, leaning against the wall with her hands in her coat pockets and a smile that was hard to decipher.

Her gaze shifted from Jin Qiutian to Liu Zimu, then back to Jin Qiutian, and finally settled on the three members of Red Velvet.

"Aren't Yerin and the others here?"

She didn't say "they can dance" or "let them teach," but the meaning was clear.

Bae Joo-hyun leaned against the mirror, and when she heard this, she looked up and her eyes met Lim Yoon-a's.

The two stared at each other for 1.8 seconds.

This Yoona is no ordinary person.

Bae Joo-hyun looked away and gazed at Kim Qiu-ti: "We've practiced this song before, and I still remember quite a bit of it."

Red Velvet are Girls' Generation's juniors. Before their debut, they used the songs of their seniors as teaching materials to practice, which was the foundation.

Moreover, "Into the New World" is a classic among classics. Which girl group hasn't danced to it during their trainee days?

"But we haven't done it in a long time," Bae Joo-hyun said casually, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Our movements might not be perfectly correct, it's been too long since we've done it. How about we watch a video first?"

Kim Tae-yeon breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to take Bae Joo-hyun's hand: "Joo-hyun, you're right."

Kim Ye-rin suddenly burst out laughing: "Unnies! What are you afraid of? Anyway, Oppa is here, he will attract all the attention."

"Even if he's worse, could he be worse than him?"

Sunny chimed in, "That's right! It's not like they're debuting; it's just dancing. They just need to choose between being funny and being professional!"

Kim Tae-yeon turned around and glared at her, saying, "You're hilarious."

Then, with a quick glance around, she smiled at Bae Joo-hyun and the other two, saying, "By the way, Joo-hyun, you guys come with us too."

Sunny smiled, took out her phone and started searching for dance videos, then held the phone up to Kim Tae-yeon, their heads close together.

"Let's review it first."

The screen showed the stage from the last performance. The picture quality wasn't very high-definition, but the movements of the eight people were clearly visible.

Yoona also came over and stood on the other side of Sunny. The three of them squeezed together to look at their phones.

She didn't want to lose face in front of the man who dared to pinch her chin.

Pei Zhufa and the others also took out their phones to look.

Liu Zimu stood next to the camera, watching the group of people huddled together studying the dance steps, and suddenly couldn't help but laugh.

Girls' Generation and Red Velvet, representatives of two generations of girl groups, squeezed into a practice room, cramming for exams in front of a tiny mobile phone screen.

If this scene gets out, fans will laugh for a year.

After a while, Kim Yerin got up from the ground, dusted off her pants, and walked over to Kim Qiutian: "Qiutian, whose part are you dancing?"

"From Hyoyeon-sunbae."

Liu Zimu pursed his lips, but didn't say anything.

Kim Yerin nodded, then turned to her two unnies and called out, "Unnies, you dance to Seohyun unnie's song, Sooyoung unnie, you dance to Yuri unnie's song, and I'll dance to Tiffany unnie's song, okay?"

Park Soo-young was about to drink some water when she heard this and choked a bit. She coughed twice before recovering and wiping her mouth. "You arranged things pretty quickly."

"What else? It's too late to learn it now." Kim Ye-rin said matter-of-factly, turning to look at Liu Zi-mu, "Oppa, you're dancing to Sooyoung's style."

Everyone agreed upon hearing this!

Liu Zimu's lips twitched: "Wait! Kim Yerin, did you ask for my opinion? Can I not dance?"

"No." This time, seven voices said it at the same time.

After more than ten minutes, Sunny walked to the middle of the practice room, clapped her hands, and said, "Everyone, come over here for a moment. Let's go over the blocking first."

She spoke naturally, with a great deal of excitement.

Lin Yoona followed behind, standing next to Jin Qiutian.

She glanced at Jin Qiutian and lowered her voice, "Nervous?"

Jin Qiutian's fingers tightened around the hem of her clothes, but she still nodded: "Yes."

"Don't be nervous." Lim Yoona smiled, her smile genuine. "You should be prepared; you might even dance better than us."

Jin Qiutian glanced at her and nodded vigorously: "Yoona sunbaenim, I will do my best."

Lin Yoona smiled. There are countless trainees like Jin Qiutian who haven't debuted.

But what was that man's reason?

He could be so doting on Choi Sulli, and he couldn't bear to refuse Bae Joo-beom, yet he could also disgustedly lay hands on himself.

But why was he able to go to such lengths with this little girl?

Before she could think any further, the music started playing.

When the piano intro began, everyone in the practice room fell silent.

The melody was so familiar that it suddenly brought tears to Kim Tae-yeon's eyes.

Of course, she didn't cry. Instead, she lowered her head, took a deep breath, and when she raised her head again, her expression had returned to that gentle and adorable look.

"Come on," she suddenly said, her voice a little hoarse, but her tone firm.

Liu Zimu suddenly raised his hand: "Wait!"

"Hey!" This time it was the voices of the other six people, except for Jin Qiutian.

The emotions that had been carefully cultivated instantly crumbled.

Liu Zimu took out three ribbons from his bag and handed them to the three members of the group: "Give me some face?"

, 7

Kim Tae-yeon looked embarrassed; Kim Qiu-tian had really messed up again. She quickly grabbed him, saying, "Oppa, no more!"

Sunny happily took the straps and tied them on: "Great! Now that's more like a team!"

Yoona and Taeyeon had no choice but to accept it and tie it up.

You know what, it's actually quite good-looking.

Jin Qiutian was almost in tears, and quickly bowed, saying, "Thank you, everyone! Oppa... he's such a jerk."

Stand still again, ready to begin.

Liu Zimu raised his hand again: "Can I ask to stand in the corner?"

"Oh my god! Liu Zimu, are you trying to die?" Sunny started cursing.

Bae Joo-hyun didn't scold him. Looking at this man, she noticed he was different from before.

This is completely different from the last time I came to be their assistant.

Liu Zimu's humor had Park Myung-ho, Kim Eun-jin, and others watching in stitches!

This kid is sure to be hilarious if he goes to record a variety show!

"You're already standing in the corner." Bae Joo-hyun glanced at Im Yoon-ah, then gently pulled him aside and said, "If you keep standing in the corner, you'll end up in the hallway."

Then, in a very soft voice, he said, "Be good! Listen to me!"
