Please! My relationship with the girl group leader is purely platonic.

Chapter 29 Mom, this person is so white they practically glow.

I just received a message from Kim Tae-yeon on my phone. It contained an address and a question about breakfast.

Trainees do have dormitories, but the conditions are average, and they are shared dormitories.

Kim Tae-yeon asked the question because there was a breakfast shop she frequented near her dorm.

Besides, it's still quite early. She hadn't planned to contact Jiang Youzhen so soon, but several pairs of eyes were watching her in the dormitory.

There was really no other way, and besides, she was the junior among these people, so naturally she didn't dare to resist.

Just Choi Soo-young and Kwon Yuri alone are taller and more imposing than her.

Fortunately, Jiang Youzhen understood what she meant and replied that he would set off immediately.

Although SM Entertainment provides dormitory accommodation for trainees, it is located in Gangnam, which is not far away, and Seoul is not that big.

In terms of prosperity, it certainly can't compare to New York, but Seoul's advantage lies in its high level of entertainment culture, where almost everyone is an entertainment enthusiast.

Jiang Youzhen drove Jiang Jingshu's black Range Rover away from the community. He really liked this kind of spacious SUV and planned to buy a similar one when he returned to New York, at least more comfortable than Mads Wu's sports cars.

When passing a flower shop, Jiang Youzhen stopped the car to pick out a bouquet that caught his eye. Several purple roses were wrapped in light-colored paper and surrounded by small white daisies, which looked very pleasing.

Half an hour later, Jiang Youzhen drove into a relatively clean and quiet community alley and slowly drove to the location on the text message.

He called the girl and told her he was downstairs.

Within minutes, Kim Tae-yeon emerged from the building. Perhaps it was a current trend, or perhaps it was a tacit agreement, but she was also wearing jeans and a dark sweatshirt, with two undershirts underneath, and carrying two hand warmers.

The outfit is very suitable for a young person her age, and combined with her still youthful face, she looks like a student who has just entered high school.

I don't know if it's because we made plans to go out today, but the girl wore light makeup, which made her look even more radiant and sunny.

Jiang Youzhen really liked her relaxed and comfortable outfit, especially when he saw her walking slowly towards him, the sunlight shining on her seemed to form a bright glow.

Mom, this person is so fair they're practically glowing!

He didn't even blink, taking a few more glances at that radiant white skin as he opened the passenger door.

"Anders, sorry to have kept you here early. Have you had breakfast? It's on me."

As she walked to the car, Kim Tae-yeon greeted Kang Woo-jin with an apologetic smile, but her mood remained cheerful. When she saw Kang Woo-jin's car approaching, her eyes sparkled.

It's a very nice car, but it's a bit too tall.

"I should be treating you. It's a good opportunity for me to escape my parents' clutches. I also need to ask you to help me adjust my accent today." Jiang Youzhen's lips curled into a noticeable smile as he gentlemanly opened the passenger door.

Seeing that Kim Tae-yeon seemed to really like the car, he felt secretly pleased. Luckily, he had considered this, otherwise, like last time, he would have been disturbed by the noise.

Although he had already eaten breakfast, he didn't mind having another meal, and he couldn't bring himself to refuse.

After Kang Woo-jin got into the car, he didn't immediately deliver the flowers. Instead, he drove out of the alley and followed Kim Tae-yeon's directions to the breakfast shop she had mentioned.

It's almost 10 o'clock now, and there are hardly any customers left at the breakfast shop. They arrived late, but luckily there's still food available.

There aren't many breakfast options in China, and this shop is very popular among SM Entertainment trainees, mainly because it's near their dormitories, so they can easily buy breakfast as soon as they wake up.

It's also convenient to carry, and they offer sandwiches, dumplings, and pancakes.

Of course, the breakfasts mentioned here are more in line with local Seoul tastes.

"The best dishes at this restaurant are actually the beef and seaweed soup and the abalone congee. The owner gives out lots of side dishes. Anders, do you like the food?"

When choosing breakfast, Kim Tae-yeon enthusiastically recommended the restaurant's signature dishes. She also made sure to check on Kang Woo-jin, since the tastes of those who had studied abroad didn't quite match those in China.

Two of her roommates had returned from studying abroad, so she knew a little about this.

Jiang Youzhen stood next to her and quickly scanned the contents of the menu. To be honest, he didn't like the food at all.

Even if the side dishes this restaurant gives you include something as good as braised beef.

But he really couldn't get used to the food in China.

Who would be so kind as to serve pickled vegetables as if it were a state banquet?

...

"I'm just as good as you."

Out of consideration, Jiang Youzhen didn't say anything about being picky about food, so he gave a very standard but vague answer.

He eats whatever the girl eats.

"But I don't need the fried fish, I don't really like fish."

Jiang Youzhen specifically pointed to the name of the fried fish on the menu. He likes to eat shrimp, but he doesn't like to eat fish.

"Don't you like fish? But isn't fish high in protein?"

"Shrimp can also provide protein, but the bones can be a bit difficult to remove."

Kang Woo-jin explained the reason in a low voice. Upon hearing this, Kim Tae-yeon had no choice but to order the breakfast set meal she usually ate.

A bowl of abalone congee, a bowl of beef and kelp soup, a series of side dishes, and...

The fried fish was a gift from the owner!

Looking at the plate of fried fish that had been delivered, Jiang Youzhen was completely baffled. Had the restaurant owner overheard their conversation?

Was this intentional?

Kim Tae-yeon gave an awkward laugh and said, "Sorry, Anders, I usually come with my friends from the practice room. Some of them like to eat fish, and the owner often gives it to us for free, so..."

"It's okay, it smells nice, it's just a bit hot." Eating porridge and soup is quite suitable in winter, but Jiang Youzhen just touched the abalone porridge with his spoon.

It was a bit too hot for him, so he gently reminded the girl, "Be careful, it's still very hot. Blow on it before you eat. If you get burned, you won't be able to enjoy those delicious foods for the next couple of days."

The tone, which sounded like coaxing a child, amused Kim Tae-yeon. She smiled, pursing her lips, and relaxed even more.

Just like when she suddenly bumped into Kang Woo-jin at the amusement park that year, her tense emotions suddenly relaxed. She had been regretting why she had separated from her family.

Fortunately, she met him. At least that day brought her happy and wonderful memories, which she still remembers clearly.

The gentle smile on the face of the person in front of her reassured her a lot, and the fatigue that had accumulated over a long period of time also subsided.

Although Kang Woo-jin doesn't like eating fish and dislikes the many fish bones, he uses conversation to attract girls' attention.

Let the girl focus on the topic while you pick out the fish bones for her, and then slowly pick out the fish meat and put it into her bowl.
