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

Chapter 52 Why aren't you wearing clothes?

The next day, while Li Yuan was still asleep, he heard rustling sounds coming from the living room.

He groggily opened his eyes, casually threw on a coat, and went to the living room, where he found Huang Lizhi.

She was squatting in the entryway changing her shoes. Behind her was a bulging backpack on the floor, and next to it stood several tote bags, large and small, looking like she was moving house.

"Oppa!" Hearing footsteps, she looked up, her fox-like eyes flashing for a moment when she saw Li Yuan, then the light turned into panic.

Li Yuan was wearing a jacket casually draped over his shoulders, the zipper undone, revealing his stomach, and dark shorts that were so short they looked like boxer shorts.

"You..." Huang Lizhi's face turned red from her neck to her ears. She turned around abruptly, her back to Li Yuan, her mind filled with the conversation she had with her mother yesterday.

What are your feelings towards Li Yuan?

"I like him."

"Why aren't you dressed?" she asked, her voice a little urgent.

"What do you mean, not wearing clothes? Don't say such ambiguous things." Li Yuan looked down at himself, looking completely innocent. "I'm wearing clothes, aren't I? It's not like I'm some kind of pervert."

"Oppa's such a pervert!" Hwang Yeji pouted, his ears turning bright red. "He has girls at home, yet he dresses like this!"

"How was I supposed to know you'd be here so early?" Li Yuan yawned helplessly, his gaze falling on the pile of luggage. "What are all those bags and packages you're carrying?"

There looked like there were bottles and jars inside.

"My mom asked me to bring these. They're homemade things, like kimchi and stuff." Huang Lizhi turned around, but deliberately avoided looking at Li Yuan's upper body. "My mom said that things bought outside aren't healthy, and only homemade things are healthy and delicious."

So oppa has abs...

As she spoke, a hint of indignation crossed her face, then she hesitated before adding, "My mom also told you to prepare the ingredients so as not to waste them."

"Pfft!" Li Yuan couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard this.

It seems that Huang Lizhi also showed off her "cooking skills" to her family at home, and the results were obviously not ideal, probably because she was warned by her mother.

"I certainly won't waste the ingredients that Li Zhi went through so much trouble to bring," Li Yuan said with a smile.

The fact that Huang Lizhi's mother told Li Yuan to cook instead of Huang Lizhi, who was staying at her house, suggests that Huang Lizhi must have dealt a significant blow to her kitchen this time he returned home.

"Oppa, are you free this afternoon?" Hwang Yeji put her backpack into her room and then skipped out.

Her emotions came and went quickly; the shyness she felt earlier had already been forgotten.

"I don't seem to be free this afternoon. Is there anything I can help you with?" Li Yuan asked after a moment's thought.

I'm going out with Ahn Yoo-jin and the others at noon, so I probably won't be back in the afternoon.

"Oh~" Hwang Ye-ji's tone carried a hint of disappointment, "I was hoping Oppa would come with me to buy clothes..."

I don't have many summer clothes to begin with, and one of them got torn yesterday at home.

Although she could still wear it after mending it, she suddenly didn't want to patch it up anymore when she looked at the hole.

Based on her usual personality, she would probably just patch it up and wear it anyway, since no one would be watching.

But things are different now; Li Yuan has arrived.

Huang Lizhi, who was at the tail end of puberty, felt for the first time that he could no longer be so "sloppy".

She wanted to buy a new one, not one of those loose, oversized T-shirts she wore during practice, but something that would make her look different.

"The day after tomorrow is fine," Li Yuan thought for a moment. "How about we go together the day after tomorrow? I was just thinking of going to look at cars."

"Looking at cars?" Hwang Ye-ji's face lit up with surprise. "Oppa, are you buying a car?"

"Yes, it's really inconvenient not having a car in South Korea." Li Yuan nodded.

With the signing of the contract with SM Entertainment, Lee Won finally received his first payment.

Although that amount of money wasn't much—after all, the subsequent copyright royalties and revenue sharing are the main part, and what we're giving now is just the production fee for the work, so the number doesn't seem that scary.

However, buying a car for commuting is enough. I don't need to buy any luxury cars; as long as I can drive it, that's fine.

Huang Lizhi's originally happy face suddenly darkened again.

"What's wrong? You're not happy that I bought you a car?" Li Yuan reached out and patted her head. "How about you drive it?"

"I don't even have a driver's license." Hwang Ye-ji pouted, her voice filled with a sense of self-deprecation and grievance. "We clearly agreed that I would come to buy a car for Oppa, but..."

"Your settlement will take a while." Li Yuan chuckled, finally understanding why Huang Lizhi had that expression. "Besides, how could I let our Lizhi 'take care of' me? If anyone's going to be taken care of, it'll be me taking care of you."

"Oh my!" Huang Lizhi blushed again upon hearing this, this time even more red than before.

What do you mean by "sugar baby" or "sugar baby"? Oppa always says such strange things!

However, keeping an oppa as a sugar daddy sounds pretty good...

Huang Lizhi has added another goal to his list.

"I'm going to wash up first." Huang Lizhi turned and ran towards the bathroom.

"So early?" Li Yuan glanced at the clock on the wall; it was only a little past six.

"I'm about to debut, so I'm definitely going to be nervous." Hwang Yeji poked half his body out of the bathroom door, holding a toothbrush in his hand. "My vocal skills are still too poor."

Hwang Ye-ji was initially quite confident in her abilities, but after meeting Lily and Oh Hae-won through Lee Won, and later having Choi Ji-soo join her group, she suddenly felt immense pressure.

However, it was precisely because of this pressure that her singing skills improved significantly compared to her previous life; at least she no longer resorted to shouting at the top of her lungs.

He has made progress at each stage in terms of breath control, emotional progression, and handling of high notes.

"And, Oppa..." she mumbled, biting her toothbrush, "when will the choreography for our debut song be released?"

She heard from the person in charge of their group that their debut song only has a melody and no dance yet.

This part was naturally also Li Yuan's responsibility.

"Let's wait a couple of days," Li Yuan said, leaning against the living room wall with his arms crossed. "I've been busy with Red Velvet lately and haven't been able to get away. You guys haven't even debuted for a while yet, why are you in such a hurry?"

"I also want to see Oppa give me...our group's work soon." Hwang Ye-ji said with anticipation.

Could it be a hit song like "What is Love?"?

"You can look forward to it," Li Yuan smiled. "It's definitely going to be a fantastic debut song. You'll see when the time comes."

Huang Lizhi's eyes shone even brighter.

"I'm leaving now, see you tonight, Oppa!" After washing up, Hwang Yeji slung her small bag over her shoulder, walked to the entrance to change her shoes, and waved back at Lee Won.

"See you tonight." Li Yuan yawned and waved at her. "I need to go back to sleep for a while, I'm so sleepy."

I stayed up really late last night, and I only got three hours of sleep in total.

I don't know how they managed to stay together during their comeback; just thinking about it makes me tired.
