Chapter 47 - Exclusive Release...
When Kwon Ji-yong mentioned her boyfriend, Kang Ah-rin was clearly taken aback. It took her a while to realize that she had a boyfriend.
As for enthusiasm?
Clearly, there was nothing between them. Even their discussion about being together only happened over the phone. It was as if they officially became boyfriend and girlfriend after just one notification, and then...
But it's enough for me to know; there's no need to tell this guy in front of me.
"Your enthusiasm is different from mine. Your enthusiasm is geared towards breaking up, while our enthusiasm..."
As she spoke, Jiang Yalin revealed a meaningful smile. Quan Zhilong was so amused by this smile that he immediately forgot about the problems between the two of them and began to rack his brains about how to persuade Jin Zhen'er to break up.
Seeing him typing away with a worried look on his face, Jiang Yalin really wanted to laugh. Ever since Jiang Zhiyuan left that cleaning lady, things had been much calmer in the team these past few days.
The cleaning lady who was possessed by her had her family quit her job after she inexplicably fainted last time. They were worried about her health.
Actually, the cleaning lady was also baffled. She had no memory of what happened that day and didn't know why she was there. Because of this, she was afraid that she might have Alzheimer's disease, so she didn't object to her family's suggestion that she quit her job.
Actually, this was the first time someone had quit their job because of all the people Kang Ji-won had possessed. Kang Ya-rin couldn't help but think that if more and more things like this happened, would there be fewer and fewer staff at YG in the future?
However... Kang Ji-won used to come every day, but now she only comes once every few days. Is this related to me?
Jiang Yalin hasn't been sure about this yet, but even if it has nothing to do with her, she feels that things are developing in a positive direction.
Of the four female leads, the most uncontrollable is Kang Ji-won. She's so crazy, completely reckless and insane. Her idea of destroying what she can't have is truly terrifying.
Of course, Kim Jin-ah wasn't much better, but her madness was controllable. Although it might be temporary, as long as Kwon Ji-yong didn't separate from her, nothing serious should happen for the time being.
Lee Yeon-jin is like a humble secret admirer hiding in a corner, silently waiting for Kwon Ji-yong. Kang Ah-rin doesn't know what to say about such a person, so she just offers her blessings, since it's a personal choice.
As for Fang Zhixia, Jiang Yalin probably had the best impression of her. Of course, she wouldn't admit that her goodwill towards her stemmed from the other's cooking skills. It's just that her presence wasn't very strong. She just stayed at her Chinese restaurant, quietly waiting for the other's attention. But fortunately, she made money while waiting for him, so even if she didn't end up with him, it wouldn't be too much of a loss.
So far, only four female leads have appeared. Jiang Yalin is praying frantically in her heart that four is enough. If there are a few more, she is really afraid that Quan Zhilong will not be able to handle it.
"Haven't you finished sending them yet after all this time?"
After thinking through the questions in her mind, Jiang Yalin found Quan Zhilong still typing away, and she was speechless.
"Didn't you say you wanted hot violence? Now I'm going to let Nuna feel my passion, which is hotter than the equator."
As Kwon Ji-yong spoke, a smirk crept onto his face. He didn't look like he was texting his girlfriend; instead, he looked like he wanted to kill someone.
"Where exactly are you at now?"
Jiang Yalin had never inquired about his relationship with Jin Zhen'er, but since she last made her suggestion, a long time had passed, and their progress had remained stagnant, which made her doubt Quan Zhilong's speed.
"I can feel that Nuna dislikes me, but she just won't break up with me. Why do you think that is?"
Kwon Ji-yong, seemingly unconcerned about hiding anything, shoved his phone into Kang Ah-rin's hand. As she scrolled through their messages, she came to a conclusion—Kim Jin-ah actually wanted to kill him.
If I were Jin Zhen'er, with his clinginess and frequent text message bombardment, it would be hard not to have murderous thoughts.
"You really have to thank God that you're still alive." Or perhaps it's the authors of these novels who allowed you to live to this day unharmed.
Why do you say that?
Quan Zhilong was puzzled. Had he done something heinous that someone would want to kill him?
"Isn't what you've said enough? I think Kim Jin-ah still loves you quite a bit, otherwise how could she tolerate you so much?"
"You... can you please not tell scary stories so late at night?"
Kwon Ji-yong snatched his phone from Kang Ah-rin's hand with a displeased expression, then sent a long message to Kim Jin-ah before shoving his phone back into his hand.
Watching his departing figure, Jiang Yalin was reminded of his current obsession with breaking up, and suddenly found herself unable to sleep.
Kim Jin-ah was the girl he had always longed to be with, but after they got together, they couldn't last more than three months. He entered a period of relationship burnout because she was no longer the person he used to be, and then he wanted to break up.
She wondered if all men were like that, and what about herself and Lee Joo-hyuk?
Admittedly, the reason she wants to be with the other person is entirely because she wants to find a good-looking person to be her first love. This person could be Lee Joo-hyuk, or of course Park Joo-hyuk, or any handsome man she finds pleasing to the eye.
But that doesn't mean she's willing to be disliked and dumped. If that's the outcome, then maybe she shouldn't have invested in it in the first place.
Thinking it over, she took out her phone, looked at the name marked as her boyfriend, hesitated for a long time, and ultimately decided not to send him a message.
He didn't send it to her, so she didn't need to either.
Unaware that his girlfriend had mentally reenacted a breakup scenario, Lee Joo-hyuk has been incredibly busy these past few days, and has completely forgotten about Kang Ah-rin, who recently became his girlfriend.
It wasn't until a female model who was also there for closed training stopped him and asked him shyly if he had a girlfriend that he belatedly remembered his girlfriend, whom he had forgotten about.
Ignoring the somewhat disappointed look on the other person's face after hearing that he had a girlfriend, Lee Joo-hyuk ran back to his room, covered in sweat, and took out his phone to call Kang Ah-rin.
The moment he dialed the number, he regretted it—not because he regretted calling Jiang Yalin, but because he hadn't paid attention to the time.
It's already 11 or 12 o'clock, maybe they're already asleep. What if they're asleep when he calls so rashly?
Fortunately, Jiang Yalin was having trouble sleeping because of Quan Zhilong, so when Li Zhuhe called her, the call was answered quickly.
"I'm so sorry, I've been so busy these past couple of days that I forgot to call you. I'm really sorry, but I didn't mean to."
"It's okay. You didn't call me, and I didn't call you, so we're even, right?"
The eerie sense of fairness momentarily choked Lee Joo-hyuk on the other end of the phone. The comparison was indeed fair, but that's not how things are calculated.
"Jiang Yalin, you're not going to regret this, are you?"
Do you want the truth or a lie?
Jiang Yalin felt that ever since she met Quan Zhilong, this phrase had often come from her mouth.
Lee Joo-hyuk was once again speechless by his girlfriend's words. At this moment, he felt only helplessness. He didn't want to do anything anymore, so he simply chose to tell the truth.
"I want to hear the truth."
"Congratulations, you made the right choice and are now eligible for a buy-one-get-one-free offer."
It's not something to celebrate.
But his thoughts couldn't sway Jiang Yalin's will, and he figured she didn't want to listen anyway, so he kept quiet and didn't say anything that might annoy her.
"The lie is, of course I don't regret it. She's so good-looking, I fell in love with her at first sight. She's the first love I chose for myself, so of course I don't regret it at all."
Listening to her so-called lies on the other end of the phone, her eyes slowly closed and her heart finally died. She had only been officially dating for three days, and her first love was already regretting it. If Quan Zhilong knew about this, it would definitely be a dark history that he would laugh at in the future.
Of course, the reason he can think about this in this way now is because he hasn't fallen in love with the other person. He's simply been persuaded by what the other person said. But if he still had a little bit of genuine affection, his feelings wouldn't be like they are now.
"Hello, are you listening?"
After Jiang Yalin finished speaking rapidly, there was silence on the other end of the phone. She thought that he had just brushed her off and put the phone to the other side.
"I'm listening. I'm so sorry that you regret it. It's my fault for not letting you experience the beauty of love. I'll make it up to you after I'm done with this busy period."
"That's another matter. Now I'm going to tell you the truth. Do you want to hear it?"
Lee Joo-hyuk took a deep breath. No wonder Kwon Ji-yong's expression was always so inexplicable when he talked about Kang Ah-rin. Now he finally understood.
"you say."
Hearing those two words, which seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, Jiang Yalin didn't care and continued to speak her so-called truth.
"I regret it. I don't regret being with you, but I regret even trying to date. As for why I regret it? Well, it's because of Kwon Ji-yong. You said he loved Kim Jin-ah so much back then, but look at him now. So I'm wondering if we'll end up like that someday..."
Jiang Yalin rattled off a long speech, and Li Zhuhe was quite annoyed to learn that his girlfriend had such thoughts because of this guy.
"Yalin, wait a moment, something's come up here. I'll call you back later, okay?"
"All right."
Although there was still a lot to say, Jiang Yalin, who considered herself an understanding girlfriend, readily agreed. Then, this understanding girlfriend took Quan Zhilong's phone and answered the call from her boyfriend who had just said he had something to do.
"Hello, is there anything I can help you with? My boyfriend just had something to do."
