Chapter 64 APink
Chapter 64 APink
He awkwardly touched his nose. "Senior, please don't be so polite. After all, I'm still a fan of APink."
The group immediately perked up; they were just bored and had no one to talk to. Since they were fans... well, they wouldn't hold back!
The next second, twelve eyes stared at him curiously, as if they wanted to strip him bare.
Lin Yuan couldn't help but shiver.
Especially Jung Eun-ji, who was still licking her lips as if she were some kind of delicacy.
"Seniors, I...I don't sell myself!"
.....
The room fell silent, and the few people exchanged glances.
"Pfft!"
"Hahaha!"
"Oh dear, I... I can't take it anymore, Lin Yuanxi, you're so funny."
Lin Yuan awkwardly dug his toes into the ground.
Park Chorong realized something was wrong. No matter what, she shouldn't laugh at someone, especially not to their face, even though it was indeed very funny.
"Lin Yuanxi, please sit down and talk."
There happened to be a seat next to Park Chorong, and Lin Yuan didn't stand on ceremony and plopped down on it.
"Oh dear, we were just chatting about this. Today's dinner party was truly eye-opening."
Jung Eun-ji, with her outgoing personality, nudged Lin Yuan with her elbow in a familiar manner. "But speaking of which, you just said you're our fan, was that just for show? Come on, take the organization's test, which of our songs do you like the most?"
All twelve eyes focused on Lin Yuan once again.
Lin Yuan sat up straight and cleared his throat: "How could this be just polite talk? I can hum most of your songs. But my personal favorite is 'Hush'."
Upon hearing "Hush," even Son Naeun, who usually maintains a cool and elegant demeanor, turned her head slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
As their debut song, this song is of great significance to APink, representing that their years of hard work have finally paid off.
"Daiba...looks like a true fan!" Yoon Bomi chuckled, her unique smoky voice ringing out.
As she spoke, she moved closer to Lin Yuan, "Since you're a true fan, Lin Yuan-xi, tell me honestly, who's your bias? Don't give the standard answer like 'I like them all'!"
Wu Xiaorong and Jin Nanzhu, who were enjoying the spectacle, chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes, choose one of six, hurry up!"
Lin Yuan suddenly felt immense pressure. No matter how he answered this life-or-death question, the glares from his five older sisters could devour him whole.
He subconsciously tilted his head and saw Park Chorong sitting next to him.
At this moment, Park Chorong was looking at him with a smile. Perhaps because she had drunk some red wine, her fair cheeks had a slight flush, and her bright eyes were full of tenderness and curiosity.
"Um..." Lin Yuan touched his nose and shrank closer to Park Chorong. "My bias... is of course Captain Chorong sitting next to me. After all, Chorong was the gentlest person in the whole room just now, and she even invited me to sit down."
"Tch!"
The other five people let out a unified chorus of disgust.
"Unnie, look at him, he's using such an old trick to please you!" Maknae Oh Hayoung teased, pouting.
Park Chorong covered her mouth and laughed shyly, then gently patted Lin Yuan on the shoulder: "Hey, Lin Yuan-ssi, don't listen to their nonsense. But... thank you for liking me."
The slap wasn't hard; instead, it carried a sense of intimacy, completely easing Lin Yuan's initial tension.
"But Lin Yuan-xi, are you really a second-generation chaebol?" Jung Eun-ji couldn't suppress her gossipy nature and asked with her big eyes.
"The commotion tonight has even alerted the president and his team. With just a wave of your hand, tonight's bill will probably cover half a year's comeback budget for our company, right?"
"It's not that exaggerated. It's just that the conditions are a bit better. We can't really be called 'chaebols' or anything like that." Lin Yuan chuckled vaguely. He couldn't very well say that they weren't called chaebols in their area, but rather aristocratic families, that would be too pretentious.
"Today is mainly to celebrate Ji-eun's birthday. I'm just taking this opportunity to do something special and also to satisfy my own selfish desire to get closer to my idol."
"Stanning?" Yoon Bomi keenly caught the key phrase, her eyes sweeping over Lin Yuan and Park Chorong with a playful glint. "Oh~ so you're not planning to invite unnie for a drink?"
"Bomi, you're talking nonsense again." Park Chorong gave Yoon Bomi a warning look, then turned to Lin Yuan and said, "Lin Yuan-xi, don't mind them. They're used to making a ruckus in the dorm. Thank you so much for your hospitality today. We rarely get to enjoy a big meal together like this because of our body management."
Looking at these six lively and down-to-earth "pure girl group" in front of him, Lin Yuan felt a surge of emotion.
"I'm glad you all enjoyed your meal," Lin Yuan said sincerely, raising his glass. "This toast is for everyone; I wish you all continued success!"
Lin Yuan spoke these words with utmost sincerity, and even Jung Eun-ji and Yoon Bo-mi, who were usually fond of joking, stopped laughing and their eyes showed emotion.
"Okay! I acknowledge you as my junior, cheers!" Jung Eun-ji was the first to raise her glass.
"Hey, Jung Eunji, drink less. Lim Won-ssi said 'long-lasting success,' not 'increasing your alcohol tolerance!'" Park Chorong muttered as she raised her glass with a smile.
The six exquisite wine glasses and Lin Yuan's glass clinked together in the air, making a crisp sound.
Lin Yuan downed his drink in one gulp. Just as he put down his glass, he looked up and saw Wang Jiaer at the next table holding a wine glass, giving him a sly wink and a thumbs-up.
He was saying something, something like, "Wow, you're awesome, wanna tag along?"
Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow in a pretentious manner, which made Wang Jiaer so angry that his teeth ached. He turned around and gave Lin Yuan the middle finger.
Unfortunately, Lin Yuan didn't see it. He was exchanging contact information with APink. Who had time to pay attention to him? Wasn't the delicious milk tea fun enough?
At 11 p.m., everyone got up one after another to prepare to leave.
Park Chorong helped the members into the car, then walked over and bowed to Lee Ji-eun. She then smiled and looked at Lin Yuan, saying, "Thank you, IU sunbaenim, and thank you, Lin Yuan xi, for your hospitality. Everyone had a great time tonight."
I think Nalong is the real "human peach," as for Shirley... I haven't seen her, so I'll temporarily revoke her title.
Lee Ji-eun nodded, and taking advantage of a moment when he wasn't looking, she stepped on Lin Yuan's instep and whispered in his ear, "You like watching that so much? Should I call you back so you can try it out?"
"hiss!"
They always seem to like using this trick.
Could it be something you were born with?
Lin Yuanqiang replied calmly, "Of course, be careful on the road!"
He doesn't have time to argue with anyone right now, not even Nailong.
"Goodbye, senior! Goodbye, Lin Yuanxi!"
When Park Chorong turned around, Lin Yuan quickly pulled his foot out and secretly rubbed it back and forth on his calf, hoping to feel more comfortable.
Lin Yuan and Li Zhi'en saw everyone off before returning to the hall, where only Jiang Huiyuan and Huang Lizhi remained, fast asleep on the table.
