Chapter 40 Rare Characters
Not long after, the knocking sounded again.
Li Yuan stood up from the sofa and walked towards the door. Before he even reached the entrance, he was already certain that they were members of (G)i-dle.
The loud arguing between Song Yuqi and Zhao Meiyan could be heard through the door; each of them was louder than the other, and it was unclear what they were arguing about, but it sounded like it had reached a fever pitch.
He opened the door.
"Zhao Meiyan Pabu!"
"Song Yuqi, ya!"
"Zhao Meiyan Pabu!"
"Song Yuqi, ya!"
……
The two stood facing each other, talking back and forth, neither willing to stop first.
"Hey, if you keep making noise, don't come in." Li Yuan sighed.
Most of the kids' tantrums are caused by these two, and that's exactly what's happening now.
Upon hearing Li Yuan's words, the two quickly shut their mouths and obediently walked in.
"Oppa's words still have more effect." Tian Xiaojuan looked helpless and reached up to pick at her ear. "I've been talking to them for ages and they won't listen. I've even shouted myself hoarse. It's the same in the dorm."
Although Tian Xiaojuan is the most powerful captain in the girl group and the company gives her a lot of authority, she has to coax the older sisters and deceive the younger sisters in the group. She is often harassed by several troublemakers. Being the captain is more tiring than anyone else.
"I already told you you're a bit older than me, why are you calling me Oppa?" Li Yuan shook his head helplessly.
He had wanted to bring up this issue when Zhao Meiyan called him before, but he didn't have much of a chance to speak up.
He and Tian Xiaojuan were both born in 1998, but Tian Xiaojuan was born in August and Li Yuan in December, so logically Li Yuan should call her Nuna.
Although Li Yuan never called her that, he always called her "Xiao Juan" "Xiao Juan".
"Kenchana, I'm used to calling her that anyway," Tian Xiaojuan said with a smile and waved her hand.
When Li Yuan was teaching her how to create music, she didn't know it was his birthday and kept calling him "Oppa," which Li Yuan didn't notice.
Li Yuan mentioned it later, but she didn't change it. She just kept calling him "Oppa," and it became a habit. Changing her address now felt awkward.
"Hey, didn't you all come over?" Li Yuan looked at the four people standing in the living room, counted them, and realized that two were missing.
"Well, Minnie and Shuhua have variety show commitments, so they can't come," Tian Xiaojuan explained.
"Oh, that's a pity." Li Yuan nodded.
He said he felt like they hadn't ordered that many dishes; it turned out not everyone was there.
That's fine too.
His gaze slowly swept across their faces: Zhao Meiyan, Song Yuqi, Tian Xiaojuan, Xu Suizhen...
Wow, there's even a rare, discontinued character here!
Lee Won's gaze lingered on Seo Soo-jin for a moment longer, with a subtle expression as if he had "seen a rare animal."
Xu Suizhen was puzzled by his gaze and unconsciously scratched her head.
Why is Song Yuqi's brother staring at me? Is there something on my face?
She secretly rubbed her cheek with the back of her hand, but there was nothing there.
"The food is ready. Are you planning to eat while broadcasting, or finish eating and then broadcast?" Li Yuan turned around and went into the kitchen, starting to bring out the dishes one by one.
"Let me help you, Xiao Yuan!" Zhao Meiyan eagerly leaned over, took out a bowl, and began to serve rice.
"Aigoo, I never see you this diligent in the dorm, but now you're so attentive to Oppa." Song Yuqi pouted and started to expose him. "You leave the dishes piled up in the sink for three days without washing them, but now you're so eager to please my brother."
"I...I'm like this all the time!" Zhao Meiyan retorted, turning around while holding the bowl, her tone tinged with guilt.
As she walked past the sofa, her slippers slid on the wooden floor, causing her to lurch to the side.
"what!"
Fortunately, Li Yuan reacted quickly and reached out to support her waist, pulling her back to her feet.
Zhao Meiyan's waist was very slender, and you could feel the temperature of her skin through the thin fabric. Li Yuan's palm could almost cover most of her side.
His fingers landed precisely on the upper part of his waist, the pads of his fingers brushing against the soft curve below his ribs.
But Li Yuan didn't do it on purpose. After all, the incident happened suddenly, and he had no control over where he was.
Is such that.
After Zhao Meiyan regained her footing, her face flushed red.
"I'll take it..." she said, her head down, her voice barely audible.
She knew Li Yuan didn't do it on purpose, but knowing that didn't stop her from blushing.
"So what games did Oppa prepare?" Tian Xiaojuan asked curiously.
Li Yuan stopped caring when he heard that she hadn't changed her way of addressing him: "It's just some small games, like Truth or Dare, Of course, guess the song, and the like."
"Oh, I thought things would be different in China." There was a hint of regret in her voice.
"The games over there might not be suitable," Li Yuan shrugged, placing the last dish on the table. "This place isn't very big, and the preparations weren't thorough enough, so many games can't be played. I just chose a few that are common in Korea and that everyone knows how to play."
He took out several printed A4 sheets of paper and gave one to each person.
"I thought you'd all be here, so I printed a few extra copies," Li Yuan said. "Please check if there's anything you can't play or anything that's inappropriate to talk about. If so, let me know in advance and I'll cross it off."
The main issue is that there are a few questions in Truth or Dare that Lee Won felt were easy to get wrong, but these are topics that are frequently discussed in Korea, such as dating, team relationships, and resources.
It's a point that's easy to cause controversy, but Korean variety shows always seem to enjoy bringing it up.
"Seems like there are no problems." Tian Xiaojuan quickly glanced through it. "But why are the 'Game' and 'Guess the Song' sections blank?"
Tian Xiaojuan pointed to a blank line after the two games.
"Of course, isn't the game all about what you guys say?" Li Yuan frowned. "If you had to write it down, it wouldn't be called guessing anymore, would it?"
Li Yuanke didn't think they had the acting skills to portray that natural feeling.
"You mean a general area," Tian Xiaojuan sighed. "But that's fine too. We can improvise a bit later."
"So let's eat while we broadcast," Xu Suizhen said cautiously, glancing at Li Yuan. "Otherwise it'll be too late."
She still couldn't understand why he had looked at her so strangely just now.
"It's okay, we can just sleep at his place. Anyway, there are so many rooms in Lijiang." Song Yuqi said casually.
That's obviously a joke. It would be fine if it were just her alone, but there are so many members.
"Let's eat and broadcast at the same time." Li Yuan glared at her, then moved the equipment to the living room and opened the live streaming software.
"First!"
"Front row!"
"Holy crap, it really is Song Yuqi, alive and well!"
Many viewers had been waiting in the live stream for a long time, and as soon as the stream started, all sorts of comments flooded the screen.
"Good evening, everyone. Our special guest today is—(G)i-dle!" Li Yuan opened the show by handing the camera over to them.
"1, 2, I! Annyeonghaseyo, I-DLE 1mida!" Led by Jeon So-yeon, they started waving at the camera, but their gestures were a bit messy, with the four of them displaying two different hand gestures.
"Hey, you even forgot the hand gestures!" Zhao Meiyan turned around and roared at Song Yuqi.
"It's an 'i' too!" Song Yuqi gestured, "It's just lowercase!"
The two of them started creating entertainment even before the game had begun.
"Alright, alright, let's get ready to eat." Li Yuan had no choice but to step in and take control of the situation.
If these two keep arguing, they might go on until the broadcast ends.
