Peninsula: I, who was originally a camera, suddenly became an internet sensation.

Chapter 38 Light Fury

In the afternoon, Li Yuan wandered around the electronics market several times, picked out a relatively expensive webcam and a set of fill lights, and also bought a new microphone stand before heading home satisfied.

That evening, Li Yuan specially prepared some delicious dishes to wait for Huang Lizhi to return from practice.

Hwang Ye-ji is a weekend trainee. She usually comes to Seoul on Friday afternoons and returns to Jeonju to attend school on Monday mornings. So tomorrow morning is the day she will return to Jeonju.

"Ugh, this is amazing!" Huang Lizhi said, eating the shredded potatoes that Li Yuan had made.

"Eat more if you like it." Li Yuan said, putting a piece of braised pork into her bowl.

"It's a pity I won't be able to eat such delicious food when I go back tomorrow!" Huang Lizhi sighed with some regret.

"That's why I told you, why don't you just transfer to Hanlin Arts High School?" Li Yuan also sat down and picked up his bowl. "Why do you insist on studying there, running back and forth every week and causing so much trouble?"

He had made a similar suggestion before. Hanlim Arts High School is in Seoul, and many trainees have transferred there to make it easier to balance their studies and training.

However, Hwang Yee-ji rejected them all.

"I have friends over there too," Huang Lizhi said matter-of-factly, swallowing what was in his mouth. "And it hasn't been that long."

They'll be living in dorms soon after their debut, and they won't even be able to stay with Li Yuan anymore.

"Oh, right." Li Yuan then realized that Huang Lizhi would be living in the dormitory soon after his debut. "Then the spare bedroom can be freed up?"

"What's Oppa going to do with the empty second bedroom?" Hwang Ye-ji suddenly stopped picking up food and squinted at him.

"Of course..." Li Yuan looked at the small face in front of him that resembled Guang Sha's, and suddenly became playful. "A lot of girls want to move in. Look, Yuqi said she wants to move in, Meiyan too, and..."

"There's more!" Huang Lizhi finally couldn't hold back any longer. He put his chopsticks down on the table and jumped up from his chair.

"Just kidding," Li Yuan said with a smile, waving his hand. "Have you seen 'How to Train Your Dragon'?"

"Huh?" Huang Lizhi was taken aback, not expecting the topic to veer off in this direction. He shook his head. "No."

"Take a look when you have time; you look very much like that Light Fury in there."

"Light Fiend, what is that?" Huang Lizhi asked curiously.

Light Fiend, just hearing the name makes it sound really powerful.

"Hmm~ How should I put it, he's one of the most amazing 'people' in that movie." Li Yuan's lips twitched. "Like you, he's very kind."

And a bit cheeky.

"Then I'll have to go check it out when I have time!" Huang Lizhi said excitedly as he sat back down in his chair, picked up his chopsticks, and continued eating.

"Okay, let's eat." Li Yuan quickly ended the conversation there.

"I'm finished eating, I'm going to wash up!" Huang Lizhi ran straight to the second bedroom after finishing his meal to get a change of clothes. "Make sure to leave the dishes, I'll wash them after I finish washing up."

"Okay." Li Yuan finished off the remaining dishes and then put the bowl directly on the table.

Although Huang Lizhi isn't allowed to cook, he can still wash the dishes.

Moreover, if she isn't allowed to do any work, the girl will feel embarrassed.

Li Yuan took out his phone after getting onto the sofa in the living room.

I probably won't be able to have dinner with Zhao Meiyan tomorrow. I need to call ahead and let her know so we can reschedule.

At this time, there shouldn't be any scheduled activities, right?

To prevent any dramatic incidents, he decided to send a message first to test the waters.

He opened Zhao Meiyan's Kakao chat window and typed two words: "Are you there?"

Meanwhile, in a dormitory in Seoul, Zhao Meiyan had just returned from a trip and was curled up on the sofa waiting in line to wash up.

Her phone vibrated. She picked it up and saw it was a message from Li Yuan. She quickly sat up straight and typed a reply: "I'm here!"

After she came back, she specifically talked to Tian Xiaojuan. Before, she had always thought that Li Yuan and Tian Xiaojuan had a relationship of exchanging music, but Tian Xiaojuan told her that it was not exchanging music at all. It was all Li Yuan talking and her learning.

I heard that Lee Won's influence was in the group's debut song.

"Are you available to take this call now?"

"Um."

Zhao Meiyan had just sent the message when she noticed a call from Li Yuan.

"Hey, Xiao Yuan." Zhao Meiyan didn't know how to address Li Yuan anymore.

She used to call him "Oppa" so easily, but then Lee Won told her he was younger than her, and now she feels awkward no matter what she calls him.

Calling her Li Yuan was too formal, and calling her A Yuan was too affectionate, so she simply called her Xiao Yuan.

You know what, Zhao Meiyan's name is actually quite easy to pronounce, because she used to have a dog named "Xiao Yuan".

"Hehe." Zhao Meiyan couldn't help but laugh when she thought of the puppy and Li Yuan sharing the same name.

Li Yuan, on the other end of the phone, was a little confused by the sudden laughter.

Moreover, that laugh sounded rather malicious.

"It's like this, I'll be busy with enrollment matters on Monday, so I probably won't be able to have dinner together," Li Yuan said apologetically. "We can arrange another time."

"Really!" Zhao Meiyan was a little disappointed. She had wanted to ask Li Yuan about creative matters.

Moreover, when Tian Xiaojuan heard that she was going to meet Li Yuan on Monday, she insisted on coming along, even though she hadn't had a chance to tell Li Yuan yet.

"Are you going to be busy until very late?" she asked, unwilling to give up.

"Yeah, we'll probably be busy until tonight," Li Yuan said. "We can't exactly go out for dinner together so late at night, that wouldn't be appropriate."

He emphasized the words "late at night" and "inappropriate," making the implication quite clear.

"Who said that? Sure." Zhao Meiyan suddenly blurted out this sentence.

"I'll have dinner with you tonight..." Li Yuan repeated, as if afraid she wouldn't understand, and added, "Isn't that a little inappropriate?"

"How about we eat at your place?" Zhao Meiyan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she had a good idea.

"You..." Li Yuan really didn't know what to say.

You've already given such obvious hints, and you still come to my house for dinner. If the paparazzi take pictures, there'll be no way to explain it.

Moreover, once Huang Lizhi leaves tomorrow, he will be all alone at home. If this is photographed, he won't even have a witness to explain.

"I really want to eat Oppa's cooking too!" Another voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone.

"Xiao Juan?" Li Yuan was taken aback.

"Yes, Oppa, it's me!" Tian Xiaojuan's voice grew closer and closer, clearly as she spoke while moving closer to Zhao Meiyan.

She had just finished washing up and came out of the bathroom when she passed through the living room and heard Zhao Meiyan talking on the phone with Li Yuan.

"You all come together..." A thought suddenly popped into Li Yuan's mind, "Why don't you all come over?"

"Dear?" Tian Xiaojuan's voice was a little excited.

"Yes, I'm doing a live stream tomorrow, so I can promote it for you guys, how about that?"

This way, he can fulfill his dinner promise to Zhao Meiyan and also promote (G)i-dle's new song, killing two birds with one stone.

"Okay!" Tian Xiaojuan readily agreed. "Then shall we all go tomorrow?"

CUBE's management of (G)i-dle can be described as giving members a high degree of freedom and power, but to put it bluntly, it's a laissez-faire approach.

Therefore, Tian Xiaojuan, as the team leader, can make decisions on this kind of "cooperation" herself, without having to report it to higher levels.

"Sure, just send me a message with what you like to eat, and I'll cook and wait for you."

"Yay!" Tian Xiaojuan shouted on the other end of the phone, followed by the sound of her running around, probably to tell the other members the good news.

"Can we all go?" Zhao Meiyan asked.

"Sure, come on over." Li Yuan chatted with her for a couple of minutes, then hung up the phone.

He then opened his Bilibili account, posted a status update saying "Live stream tomorrow, welcome the new monster" and then turned off his phone.

This will definitely increase my followers!
