Peninsula: Starting with forming a group with the nation's little sister

Chapter 61 Top-Tier Green Tea and Cabbage

Bae Joo-hyun followed Lee Ji-eun for a long time, her high heels making a crisp sound on the smooth ground.

The two stopped when they reached a small garden.

Lee Ji-eun looked up at the cherry blossom tree, and petals drifted down in the wind, one of which landed right in her palm.

After gazing at it for a moment, she blew on it, and the petal finally fell to the ground.

Bae Joo-hyun lowered her head slightly, clasped her hands in front of her, and remained silent.

Do you really like him?

Lee Ji-eun suddenly spoke, her tone calm, as if she were just having a casual chat.

She had privately inquired about this rival and found that she was virtuous, came from a clean family, and had no flaws except for her height.

If she hadn't taken the initiative to confess her feelings using her childhood friendship as a pretext, she believed that the woman in front of her would have been Lin Yuan's official girlfriend.

However, love is like a battlefield, and in the end, she had the upper hand.

Bae Joo-hyun's heart skipped a beat, and her pupils instantly contracted.

Has the president's order been discovered?

But then I thought about it again and realized it was impossible. From beginning to end, only the two of them knew about this. Every time they talked, they turned off their phones in front of each other, and even their secretaries weren't there.

Then there's only one possibility... it was just a simple test.

Yes, I like him!

Sorry, Xiaoyuan, I used you as a shield again.

Lee Ji-eun nodded; the answer was as expected.

"So what do you like about him?"

Bae Joo-hyun thought and thought but didn't know how to answer.

She had met Lin Yuan less than a handful of times, so she had to continue using lies to cover herself up.

"Xiao Yuan is very cheerful, and it's very comfortable to be with him."

Since Lin Yuan appeared, she has made up many lies and deceived many people, which made her feel bitter.

A lie can take a lifetime to make up for. She didn't dare to think about what would happen if Lin Yuan found out one day. Could she bear the consequences?

Lee Ji-eun listened and thought about it carefully.

This seems to be Lin Yuan's greatest strength: he has a cheerful personality and always shows a positive attitude. Although he is usually carefree, he is very meticulous in small things.

For example, he remembers her preferences, massages her when she's tired, keeps a glass of warm water by her bedside, and covers her with a blanket at night.

"He is indeed a good person, but his current girlfriend is me, and you... are just a blind date, and will only ever be a blind date."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Even if you're secretly terrified, you still have to pretend you don't care on the surface, after all, you're a senior.

Bae Joo-hyun clenched her hands tightly, her eyes filled with resentment.

You're my girlfriend today, but you can't be my girlfriend forever.

Everyone here is a celebrity, and fans will never accept their favorite idol being revealed to be in a relationship. The more popular the celebrity, the greater the resistance.

I have a company backing me up, so even if I get exposed, I can switch to working behind the scenes and retire comfortably. But you, senior... I don't know what you'll do then?

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt relieved.

In the ward, Lin Yuan was awakened by a sharp pain.

Hiss~

He reached down and groped his lower body, completely unaware of where he was.

"Ouch, that hurts so much!"

Lin Yuan lifted the blanket and was about to pull down his pants to check when a fragrant breeze wafted over, followed by a figure standing in front of him. Startled, he shuddered and quickly stopped what he was doing.

"Zhi...Zhi En? What are you doing here?"

He looked around again, completely stunned.

The ward looked familiar; it seemed like this was the same room I stayed in last time.

Godmother Li Fuzhen sat on the sofa, watching him with a mocking expression.

Even Bae Joo-hyun, whom he saw before he fell into a coma, was here, her eyes filled with unconcealed worry.

Lee Ji-eun quickly pulled the blanket over him, adjusted the hospital bed to a comfortable height so he could lean against it, and said, "Xia Yuan notified me." She crossed her arms and glanced at that spot. "How are you feeling? Is there anything uncomfortable?"

Lin Yuan shook his head vigorously, as if he could say that nothing was wrong, even if something was wrong, because this concerned a man's dignity.

There are two girls and one woman here; no matter what, they shouldn't show any abnormality at this time.

Little did they know that he had been thoroughly examined while he was unconscious, as the location of his injury was somewhat unusual, and the three of them happened to be nearby when the doctor examined him.

Lee Boo-jin, however, remained unfazed; at her age, she had seen it all.

Lee Ji-eun is the official girlfriend, and that thing is just a toy in her eyes; she's already used to it.

Except for Bae Joo-hyun, who blushed a little after the doctor took off his clothes, but quickly covered it up.

"Um... Godmother."

Lin Yuan wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground.

He pulled his pants off in just one second, almost one second.

"It's good that you're awake. The doctor said it was just a minor cut, and some medicine will do the trick."

He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that his brother was alright.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you to make this trip, Godmother. If you have something to do, please go ahead and take care of it. I can handle the discharge myself later."

Lin Yuan said impatiently.

It's really stressful for Bae Joo-hyun and Lee Ji-eun to be here at the same time. If they start arguing in front of their godmother, it would be a disaster. It would be a good thing if they each had a major argument.

Lee Boo-jin nodded to Lee Ji-eun, and before leaving, she glanced at Bae Joo-hyun with a meaningful smile.

"Okay, I'll be going now. Come visit me sometime."

"Okay, godmother!"

The door clicked shut.

The atmosphere in the ward began to become heavy.

Lin Yuan pulled the blanket tighter around himself; he was a little cold.

Lee Ji-eun sat on a stool peeling an orange, her fingers applying gentle pressure as if she were peeling its skin, while he stared blankly at her.

Bae Joo-hyun stood there awkwardly for a while, but finally came over and straightened his blanket.

Open your mouth.

Lee Ji-eun spoke calmly, holding a segment of orange in her hand.

Lin Yuan swallowed it, his brows furrowed.

This orange... is a bit sour.

"Sometimes people are like oranges; they may not look very appealing, but people still rush to peel them and eat them."

???

Lin Yuan was completely confused by what she said.

What does that mean? She stopped singing and started studying philosophy?

Bae Joo-hyun paused for a moment, then sat down on the edge of the bed as if nothing had happened.

Seeing that she remained unmoved, Lee Ji-eun felt a surge of anger. "Aren't you leaving? If it's because you can't wait for the nanny van, I can help you call one."

"I've taken leave and will go back after Xiaoyuan is discharged from the hospital."

Bae Joo-hyun spoke softly, shutting down Lee Ji-eun with a single sentence.

"you....."

Lee Ji-eun's face turned bright red with anger.

Lore!

Being two years older makes a difference; even young people can't match my verbal skills.

Seeing that Lee Ji-eun was about to lose her temper, he quickly spoke up.

"Please peel another apple for me, I want to eat it."

Lin Yuan immediately interjected.

He originally wanted to watch the show, but Lee Ji-eun was already about to make a move, and it would be too late if he didn't stop her.

He doesn't want to be on the front page tomorrow.

The title is: "[Two women fight over one man, resulting in a brawl in the hospital room]", and the main characters are two top celebrities.

"snort!"

Lee Ji-eun eventually obeyed and sat down, proceeding to thoroughly crush the apple.

You stinky man, you womanizer! Go home and tell Mom you bullied me!

A short while later, a pitted apple, almost reduced to just a core, appeared before Lin Yuan's eyes.

He picked it up and examined it. "This..."

"Hmm? What's wrong with this apple?"

Lee Ji-eun glared at him fiercely, the small knife in her hand radiating murderous intent. It was as if she would peel him like an apple if he dared to speak.

Forget it, a good man doesn't argue with a woman; my life is more important.

"No...nothing, this apple is really sweet."

"You're smart to know what's good for you!"

The tiny apple was devoured in just a few bites, leaving Lin Yuan wanting more, but he dared not speak.

Lee Ji-eun was clearly angry; she sat there without saying a word, just staring at Bae Joo-hyun across from her.

Looking at Bae Joo-hyun again, she had an apple in her hand that she was carefully peeling.

"Here you go." She handed over a perfect apple, then looked at Lee Ji-eun, "I hope you're not angry, senior? I was just concerned about Xiao Yuan because he seemed like he hadn't eaten enough. If you mind... then I'll apologize?"

!!!

Holy crap! This is expert! This is what you call a top-tier green tea b*tch!
