Chapter 104. He flirted and teased her, licking her like a dog. ...
April is still Coldy month, and the newly announced coffee endorsement is of high quality, giving fans plenty to brag about and making them very proud.
The Kim Soo-hyun incident not only affected Kwon Ji-yong's new variety show "Good Day," but also Disney, the investor in his new drama.
Kwon Ji-yong initially liked an Instagram post about Kim Soo-hyun getting off the bus, but quietly unliked it after Kim Soo-hyun appeared at the auction recording. Fans lamented, "Kwon Ji-yong is unlucky; his birth chart is like a mirror that reveals his true nature." However, Kwon Ji-yong didn't discuss this topic with Jiang Tinghan privately, perhaps because he's already used to it.
Jiang Tinghan didn't say anything, but promised that she would definitely clear her schedule to attend the auction and the recording shoot. As expected, her interaction with Kwon Ji-yong in the last episode caused the average viewership rating of "Good Day" to soar from 1.something to 3.something in the eighth episode. The audience is so easy to please; they like it as long as they are in the same frame.
Meanwhile, Disney's recently released film "Stitch" is doing well at the box office, and the theme song sung by Coldy has gained some popularity, especially in China and South Korea.
To match the style of the movie, the song is quite childlike, and Jiang Tinghan also performed the song in a very Disney style. It is enthusiastic, cheerful and exciting, and very popular. It ranked high on Spotify and Apple Music's Korean and American charts. A week after the movie's release, it even broke into the Billboard 200. No one expected that the movie theme song would achieve such good results, which in turn benefited the movie itself.
Because a significant portion of the audience consists of children, many of them started humming the catchy melody after returning home. This song, called "Circle and Circle," has become the battle anthem for a new generation of elementary school students. The Chinese version, "Circle and Circle," which is specially made for the Chinese market, also has the influence of a copy of "The Lone Warrior." Kindergartens have even started teaching the song "One, two, three, we ran around and around, never give up, gogogo."
Fans jokingly commented, "Kou Di has already taken Niannianbao into the nursery rhyme field, what circle can't you break into!" (Because circles are round and round, every day and every year.)
"Circles and Circles" was once used as the music for morning exercises in primary and secondary schools. The school's trend of following the trend made students both love and hate the song, but hate it more.
Another successful businesswoman is equally impressive. Upon her return, she became the new spokesperson for Asiana Airlines. Following that, she collaborated with a wine brand and has now taken on a new business deal with The Venti, a chain coffee brand that focuses on affordability while also offering other drinks such as milkshakes, making it very popular.
There hasn't been an official announcement yet, but Jiang Tinghan can already imagine the comments from fans—"This young couple is really eyeing everyone's wallets! They want it from high-end people, and they won't even let us poor folks go!"
Jiang Tinghan thought The Venti tasted better than Paul. Kwon Ji-yong liked strong flavors, but she couldn't stand bitterness and preferred milder ones. However, she couldn't say such rebellious things in public, so she could only express her feelings to her boyfriend in private.
Kwon Ji-yong's eyes were filled with laughter: "Then it seems I made the right choice in accepting this endorsement."
He was endorsing a milkshake, and on the day of the commercial shoot, he gave Jiang Tinghan a sneak peek at a selfie in front of a mirror. His face was slightly lowered, only one eye was visible, and the other eye was blocked by the phone. His gaze was looking up from below, making him look a bit fierce, but from another angle, it might give a completely different feeling.
Kwon Ji-yong wore a pink suit and a straw hat that he has been loving in recent months. The straw hat had already appeared in the "Too bad" music video, and it was inspired by Luffy's straw hat from "One Piece".
[kkk seems to be wearing suits a lot lately. I think the pink one looks pretty good. I wish I had worn a pink suit when promoting "Take Me" too. That way, the pink on my suit would have blended with the pink and purple of the stage background, like a flower stamen.]
Jiang Tinghan imagined the scene based on Quan Zhilong's description. The blooming flowers also represent the heart-fluttering feeling filled with pink bubbles, which should make many fans excited and scream. This man is indeed good at flirting.
Try it at your next concert!
After she finished typing, she opened the photo again, zoomed in to admire it, and saw half a strawberry peeking out from the corner. Judging by its size, it was almost as big as a person. Her mind immediately started to wander again.
With a light tap of her fingertips, she added a curved smiley face with slightly rosy cheeks.
The other person probably thought she was smitten by his handsomeness, so they immediately launched a heart attack, with heart emojis popping up in the chat box like they were giving him Instagram likes.
Jiang Tinghan didn't clear up the misunderstanding and continued sending: 【Oppa namu kiyo da】
A chicken carrying a big strawberry and dressed in pink... it would probably be so cute that people wouldn't care what it was babbling about, right?
Jiang Tinghan's casual remark made Quan Zhilong lose his mind, and he sent ten photos taken in quick succession. Few of them showed his face clearly; he was truly excited to the point of being blurry.
This reminded Jiang Tinghan of the elevator selfie that Kwon Ji-yong took at his home in Hannam-dong when he was promoting her new endorsement, Paul Coffee.
It all started with that cup of coffee. Drinking espresso late at night always keeps you alert, so G-Dragon dragged Jiang Tinghan, who was also having trouble sleeping, downstairs for a walk. Once you're tired, you'll feel sleepy.
The two walked out of the neighborhood in the still chilly April wind. As they strolled around, Kwon Ji-yong suggested that they spend the night in Hannam-dong, where they would definitely not hear any dogs howling in the morning. And just like that, they inexplicably returned to Kwon Ji-yong's 26 billion won villa, which was quite clean as it was regularly cleaned.
The two slept soundly through the night. When they got up to go to work, Quan Zhilong wanted to take a photo with Jiang Tinghan at his favorite selfie spot. Jiang Tinghan was moved but refused, so there was only Quan Zhilong in the photo.
So the logic behind Kwon Ji-yong's Instagram post should be: "That darn espresso forced me to walk back home to metabolize the caffeine."
Unfortunately, no fans could understand him. He even added "toooo bad!" to the caption, which was already a clear hint, but they still interpreted it as a homonym for "two beds," thinking he was making a joke about one person sleeping in Cheongdam-dong and the other in Hannam-dong sleeping in separate beds. They are truly hopeless.
The chicken, completely oblivious to the absurdity of its own logic, thought to itself, "I'm going to get out of here."
After finishing filming the advertisement, Kwon Ji-yong didn't get home until almost 10 p.m. Before he could even catch his breath, Jiang Tinghan forced him to continue filming short videos.
He became skilled with practice and was already an excellent photographer when facing Jiang Tinghan, gradually approaching the first impression. However, when shooting things that interested him, he still did things his own way. Even at state banquets, he could capture a different kind of quality, making fans exclaim, "Oppa, is this shit?"
Whether or not it was a South Korean state banquet is unknown, but it is certain that a large part of the reason why Kwon Ji-yong's devastating, Thanos-like photo is due to his fondness for blue-purple-black filters, piling on the most unappetizing tones.
Several times, Jiang Tinghan's father saw photos of Quan Zhilong. This sharp-tongued but kind-hearted father made international calls to ask Quan Zhilong if he was eating too poorly and had lost weight. Such concern made Quan Zhilong awkward and he pushed Jiang Tinghan forward to prove that he ate the sumptuous dinners prepared by his good daughter every few days, and that he was only thin because he wanted to work.
Of course, Dad trusted Jiang Tinghan's cooking skills, so he was much more at ease. He even generously said that he would treat Kwon Ji-yong to a big meal next time he came to China. Dad used to own a restaurant, and Jiang Tinghan learned his cooking skills from him. Just by looking at the dishes Jiang Tinghan usually makes, you can imagine how delicious Dad's cooking is.
Kwon Ji-yong also said that he would definitely go, and that he would be able to have this reunion dinner this year.
"Filming this? 'Lion'?" Kwon Ji-yong asked knowingly, glancing at the song title playing on the playlist.
Jiang Tinghan: "Yes."
Kwon Ji-yong was somewhat surprised: "But this isn't (G)I-dle's song, Hearts & Colors. I don't think I've heard it before."
Jiang Tinghan: "I hadn't heard it before. I found it when I was searching for the song with the same name. This song, 'Lion,' is quite nice. I choreographed a dance for it during the day and it turned out pretty good."
Kwon Ji-yong let out a suspicious "humph" from his nose: "Bae, why didn't you hire professional staff to help you film in the practice room? Why did you come back to me?"
"Wow, my skills are that good? So good that you want to stay longer?"
Jiang Tinghan gave Kwon Ji-yong a hard flick on the forehead, trying to expel all the lewd thoughts from his head: "Oppa, the way you talk is so greasy. Your fans will drop by half if they hear that."
Kwon Ji-yong let out a silent "woof," then changed his strategy: "Aigoo, our Tinghan is really amazing. She was already very versatile, and now she's even starting to choreograph her own dances. There's no end to learning. One day she'll surpass Oppa."
Jiang Tinghan added, "His tone of voice sounds a bit like an old man's."
Kwon Ji-yong's face immediately fell, and he muttered under his breath, "Basically, whatever I say is wrong, and I just have to be a tool for cosplaying as a camera."
Jiang Tinghan gave him a light kiss on the cheek, and Quan Zhilong's expression instantly changed, as smooth as Dove chocolate. His eyes went from dim to bright in an instant: "Miss, when do we start filming? I'm all ready. Can I have another kiss as a reward after we finish filming?"
Upon hearing this title, Jiang Tinghan immediately thought of the hit Korean drama "Goodnight Miss" from last year, and felt a chill run down her spine. She forced herself to remain calm and said, "If it's well-made, then it is."
Kwon Ji-yong started fiddling with his shooting angles professionally, and then added, "It's quite a coincidence that we're both Leos."
Jiang Tinghan watched him squat down, stand up, turn to the side, and bend over, his movements resembling a character dodging a max-level skill in a game, and couldn't help but find it a little funny: "Oppa, you should actually be a dog, right?"
Very enthusiastic and good at expressing love anytime, anywhere, but completely pabo.
Kwon Ji-yong immediately put down his phone and stared intently at her. The next second, he took a few steps forward and kissed Jiang Tinghan on the cheek.
He seemed to have only brushed against me briefly before separating, but the slight upturn of his lips as he took a step back suggested that he must have just done something bad that no one knew about, as if an invisible tail was swaying behind him gleefully, or perhaps, a fox's tail.
Jiang Tinghan felt the fleeting dampness on his cheek, with a slightly sticky warmth, and was immediately stunned. A hint of surprise flashed in his dark eyes, which also reflected the increasingly intense smile on the face of the person opposite him.
The initial sensation was just a tiny spark, but it quickly spread like wildfire, causing her to instinctively raise her hand to cover the spot where she had been kissed.
This person—actually stuck out their tongue and licked her like a puppy?!
Jiang Tinghan pursed her lips and slipped a piece of chocolate from the box on the table into Quan Zhilong's hand.
Kwon Ji-yong immediately put on an incredulous expression: "Ting Han, you've gone too far! I confessed my feelings to you with a kiss, and you're trying to poison me..."
Dogs cannot eat chocolate.
Jiang Tinghan: "..."
She asked her boyfriend a genuine question: "Oppa, do you remember what people give when they confess their love?"
Kwon Ji-yong made a "cut" gesture: "OK, just now it was dog G-Dragon, now it's human G-Dragon, I accept your confession."
Jiang Tinghan: "".
This year is the perfect age for Gigi Leung to sing "Circle Round".
Mom, the guy I'm dating doesn't seem to be a normal person, oh dear?
