when idols fall in love

Chapter 177 173. Would you call her sister-in-law?
Waiting room.

With the help of the assistant, Pei Xiuzhi gently removed the embellishment on the earlobe facing the silver mirror.

Her gaze flicked somewhere in the mirror, she paused slightly, and turned her face away in doubt.

"Zhien? Li Zhien? Li Iu?"

Pei Xiuzhi called three times before Li Zhien looked at her in a daze, "Huh? What's the matter?"

"No, I just saw you sitting there in a daze, so I called you," Pei Xiuzhi smiled at her, "Could it be that you fainted from hunger?"

"I'm not a pig." Li Zhien puffed her mouth and retorted angrily.

Pei Xiuzhi frowned.

Li Zhien only answered this briefly, and did not continue to bicker with her as usual.

this is a bit unusual
Moreover, it seems that Li Zhien has been a little strange since the recording of today's program started, as if he was hiding something on his mind.

But this is not an occasion for in-depth chats, Pei Xiuzhi temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart.

She chuckled, "Whether it's a little pig or not, you'll know when you eat later."

Simply removing the stage makeup and changing into light and casual clothes, Bae Suzy "wrapped" Li Zhien out of the KBS TV station building.

The barbecue restaurant that the two had discussed in advance was not far from Yeouido, and it was only a ten-minute drive including the traffic lights.

But because it was approaching the evening, and it was hitting the evening rush hour in Seoul, the traffic on the road continued until the sunset at the end of the line of sight.

In the back seat, Li Zhien was stunned for a while, then suddenly sat up jolted.

Taking out her mobile phone, she clicked on the memo and began to type text, her face was full of seriousness and concentration.

Her actions caught the attention of Pei Xiuzhi beside her.

Seeing Li Zhien's concentration, she subconsciously asked, "Zhien, are you writing the lyrics for a new song?"

"Lyrics?" Li Zhien quickly put the phone away, and said with a sneer, "Yes, I just had a little inspiration."

"Hmm?" Pei Xiuzhi's eyes sparkled, and she approached Li Zhien, "Does this new song have something to do with me? Last time you wrote a song for the truth, is it my turn this time?"

The song "Peach" in Li Zhien's last album showed a lot of girlfriend love.

Hearing this, Li Zhien was dumb for a moment, and suddenly regretted it.

She lowered her head, silently thinking about how to find a reasonable reason to give this song to the pigeons
"What's your expression?" Pei Xiuzhi narrowed her eyes.

"Cough, no, I'm trying to think about how to write better." Li Zhien has a sincere face, trying to use the acting skills that he has specially honed recently in order to join the group.

"That's about the same~" Pei Xiuzhi smiled with satisfaction.

During the frolicking, the nanny car slowly moved forward on the road step by step and turned back three times, and finally arrived at the entrance of the barbecue restaurant that the two had reserved after half an hour.

After simply putting on their hats and masks, the two of them went to a separate small private room under the guidance of the waiter.

After ordering the dishes, the waiter left the room and quickly served the dishes.

The pan was hot and oiled, and Pei Xiuzhi skillfully sandwiched a few slices of pork belly onto the board.

While waiting for the pork belly to swell, Pei Xiuzhi looked at Li Zhien who was at the opposite table with his chin, only to find that Li Zhien was also staring at him in a daze.

"What are you looking at me like that for?" Pei Xiuzhi was suddenly vigilant, "Aren't you going to sneak away while I'm not paying attention and let me stay and pay the bill?"

Li Zhien rolled his eyes, "I'm already 20 years old, but I'm not as naive as you."

Pei Xiuzhi reached out and pinched one side of Li Zhien's face, and said with a bright smile, "Why don't you take a photo of the two of us to the street and ask, who is more like a junior high school student?"

"Ah, let me tell you, Pei Tutu, there are still many people who choose me as their ideal type!"

"Isn't the host of "Strong Heart" Li Dongxu who chose you?"

Pei Xiuzhi first exposed it mercilessly, and then muttered, "That guy is really handsome, of course, he's not as good as that."

Although Pei Xiuzhi's voice was very low, almost like a whisper, Li Zhien, who was only a small table away from her, could hear clearly.

The mood is delicate for a while.

"Is Gu Heng oppa busy these days? I should have called him over, but I forgot." Pei Xiuzhi patted himself on the head.

"Oppa, he should be okay." Li Zhien twitched the corners of his mouth, and he had to tear someone apart in his heart.

"Then ask him out for dinner next week when you're free~"

"Next week," Li Zhien pursed his lips, slurring his words, "Maybe he wants to accompany someone else."

"Is there an appointment in advance?"

Pei Xiuzhi snorted, but without thinking too much, she took a slice of the pork belly that was already smelling wafting out of the board and gave it to Li Zhien, "Eat first, eh?"

Seeing Li Zhien's slightly tangled expression, she blinked.

"Zhien, what did you mean by accompanying others?" Pei Xiuzhi continued to put the barbecue into Li Zhien's bowl, and smiled, "Could it be that you have dated a daughter?"

"Um"

Pei Xiuzhi's withdrawn hand hovered in the air for a second, and the smile on his face faded a little.

"I just found out too." Li Zhien picked up a piece of barbecue for Pei Xiuzhi.

Looking down at the small bowl full of sauces, Pei Xiuzhi became quiet.

Li Zhien couldn't see her expression clearly.

When she raised her head again, Pei Xiuzhi had returned to her usual appearance, blinking her eyes and moving forward,
"Who is the other party? An outsider?"

Her tone was that of a full-blown gossip girl.

But Li Zhien knew that she probably wasn't.

After hesitating for two seconds, Li Zhien shook his head.

"People in the circle." Pei Xiuzhi's tone was a little strange.

"What happened to the insiders?" Li Zhien asked subconsciously.

"It's nothing," Pei Xiuzhi asked suddenly, with the corner of her mouth curled up, "By the way, you don't want to call her sister-in-law, do you?"

"What?" Li Zhien pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "I won't bark."

Pei Xiuzhi nodded approvingly.

Seeing her expression, Li Zhien was a little distressed.

Why doesn't it seem to have any effect?

Before she could come up with a new countermeasure, Pei Xiuzhi was already urging her, "Eat quickly, eat quickly, if you don't eat, you will burn soon!"

"Mmm, okay~"

Li Zhien sighed softly in his heart, and suddenly felt nostalgic for the Li Zhien who greeted Gu Heng with his fist more than ten years ago who dared to call him oppa.

How to say that sentence, oh, the years have smoothed my edges and corners
Night falls.

The colorful lights arranged on New Year's Day have not been completely removed, and they are still shining in the deep winter night.

The manager glanced at Pei Xiuzhi in the rearview mirror, and asked with concern, "What's the matter, Xiuzhi? Are you worried?"

Since Suzy Pei, the youngest member of the team, suddenly exploded in popularity this year, the internal atmosphere of the missA group has gradually changed, which is quite subtle.

A few days ago, the upper management of the company specifically told him to pay more attention to Pei Xiuzhi's state because of this.

Pei Xiuzhi looked away from the car window, shook her head and smiled softly, "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered the Taekwondo exam when I was a child."

"Ah, I remember Xiuzhi, you are a black belt." The manager clicked his tongue.

"After all, I learn Taekwondo for free~" Pei Xiuzhi's eyes curled up.

"Why did you suddenly think of this?" the manager asked curiously.

"I just thought that when I failed the black belt test many times before, my dad would always touch my head and say to me"

"say what?"

"Be patient, be patient."

Pei Xiuzhi whispered to herself.

The colorful lights outside the window reflected in her eyes, shining with colorful light and shadow.
