Chapter 97 Light it up...
After seeing off the last table of guests for the day, Li Xiugen and his group were finally able to take a breather.
Just now, Lee Soo-geun gave Han Yoon-sung and Yun-ki 10,000 won each as pocket money so they could buy some ice cream, but the surrounding area is all farmland, so there's nowhere to buy ice cream.
The amazing thing is that there were no convenience stores nearby, but Han Yoon-sung and his companion stumbled upon a mountain view coffee shop while wandering around. The two hit it off and decided to buy all the coffee for the production crew. Since they had too much stuff to carry, PD Jung-woo was urgently called over to help.
The three people plus a photographer returned to Li's canteen and received a warm welcome from everyone.
Han Yunxing, carrying coffee in both hands, eased the strain on her arms and placed the items steadily on the table: "The vitamins are here."
Amidst a chorus of thanks, Lee Soo-geun and his staff rushed forward, each holding a cup of coffee and standing in a row.
Everyone chatted idly, and the topic eventually came up again about Han Yunxing's lucky draw.
"PDNim PDNim! It's Han Yoon-sung, our Yoon-sung~" Na Young-seok imitated the maknae PD's excited expression, gesturing wildly in a high-pitched voice.
Standing next to him, the maknae PD silently raised his cup to cover his face and moved away. In the end, he couldn't help but whisper in defense of himself, "I didn't jump that high."
Upon hearing this, Luo Yingxi stopped all his exaggerated movements and respectfully clasped his hands in front of him, saying, "Yes."
"Speaking of which, PD-nim once fantasized that GD would come to our show," Lee Soo-geun added from the side.
Luo Yingxi's respectful gestures turned disrespectful. His eyes widened like copper bells as he loudly protested, "Ani, wow, Lee Soo-geun-ssi!"
Lee Soo-geun grinned and said, "Who was so happy last time? It was GDxi praising his variety show on Instagram."
"Right, Yunxing?"
Han Yunxing sipped her coffee, secretly smiling to herself; she was completely absorbed in watching the variety show live.
Upon hearing Lee Soo-geun's sudden question, she nodded without hesitation, her eyes crinkling with a subtle light as she smiled.
When Yunqi excitedly shook her arm, Han Yunxing finally reacted, lowering her head shyly, but her smile only grew brighter. She looked up and answered in a drawn-out voice, "Right~"
Meeting Han Yoon-sung's sparkling eyes, Lee Soo-geun said, "I suddenly really want to play a game where I talk to my most recent contact."
"Is it okay?" A chorus of "oh"s rang out from around them. Na Young-seok, who was leading the group, rubbed his hands together and smiled broadly.
Han Yunxing blinked and said seriously, "I brought my work machine today."
Lee Soo-geun skipped this step, waving his hand dismissively: "Then forget it."
Then, remembering something, he exaggeratedly covered his mouth, and a frustrated voice came out: "Wait, I don't even have my daughter's private number?!"
Yun Qi took a deep breath: "You don't have Daughter B's number either!"
She feigned grievance: "Then I'll leave?" After saying that, she made a move to leave, but after taking two steps, she suddenly turned around and grabbed Han Yunxing's hand to "run away from home" together.
Han Yunxing was half-pulled along, leaning against Yun Qi, spreading her hands out to everyone and shrugging helplessly.
“Niece A! Niece B! Is this a game-changer?!” Upon seeing this, Luo Yingxi quickly clasped his hands together, his eyebrows curving into a V-shape: “You two are the reason why Lee’s cafeteria exists.”
"Anyway, life is a solitary journey." Han Yunxing turned her head and loudly proclaimed the program's slogan, then clenched her free hand into a fist and forcefully swung it upwards: "Soo-geun-nim, fighting!"
"I'll give you a raise!"
Yun Qi and Han Yunxing immediately stopped in their tracks, exchanged a knowing glance, and tacitly retreated to Li Xiugen's side.
Yun Qi cleared her throat: "Free wages plus three baskets of potatoes."
"Add two more baskets."
"Deal!" Yun Qi excitedly reached out and gave Han Yunxing a loud high five.
The next day, after peeling potato after potato, Han Yunxing and Yun Qi regretted it. Why did they ask for an extra basket of potatoes? They vowed not to see any potato products for the next week.
After preparing the ingredients, pour the rinsed rice into the iron pot and neatly arrange the potatoes on top.
During her last vacation with Han Daoen, Han Yunxing learned some tips on starting a fire. Now that she heard that Lee Soo-geun needed someone to help him marinate side dishes, she immediately volunteered to stay and start the fire.
After all, she might actually do more harm than good when it comes to pickling vegetables.
Customers began to enter one after another. Han Yunxing, who stood by the stove at the door and stared intently at the leaping flames in the firebox, had unknowingly become the mascot of Li's canteen.
Many guests, upon first seeing her, instinctively looked up to confirm the sign, even wondering if they had wandered into the wrong production crew. But the next second, they were warmly welcomed in by Han Yunxing, and then Lee Soo-geun, hearing the commotion, also came out with Yunqi to greet them.
After taking the customers' orders, Han Yunxing and Yun Qi were already working together quite smoothly. They expertly guided the guests to the potato field in front of the door: "You can experience the fun of digging potatoes in the potato field first. We will let you know when your meal is served."
Han Yunxing bent down, her gaze level with the child's: "You can take the potatoes you dig home!"
The call bell rang, and Li Xiugen jogged to the bamboo bed: "Guest, is there anything I can help you with?"
The customers at this table were a couple. The girl asked softly, "President-nim, we ordered Set Meal C." She hesitated for a moment, remembering the name of Set Meal C. Set Meal C cost 500 won; although she couldn't recall the full name, it was probably a drink.
Li Xiugen smiled and asked, "Excuse me, is this the Cloud Star Special Mix from 37 Degrees North Latitude?"
"Ah, yes, that's it, the Cloud Star Special from 37 Degrees North Latitude." The girl repeated the tongue-twisting name.
"They're here." Lee Soo-geun caught a glimpse of the person pulling the home karaoke equipment toward them out of the corner of his eye and took a step back to the side.
"Did you order the '37 Degrees North Latitude Cloud Star Special'?" Han Yunxing winked playfully at the girl.
The girl nodded blankly at first, and the next moment the mini Bluetooth speaker played the accompaniment of "Can't Help Falling in Love with You".
The special arrangement turned out to be a performance. After a brief moment of surprise, the couple's shoulders unconsciously touched lightly. They smiled at each other, their eyes sparkling with delight, and their bodies relaxed, immersing themselves in this unexpected romance.
Han Yunxing and Yun Qi tapped their fingers lightly on the microphone handles, keeping time. Their bright, clear voices and husky, smoky voices intertwined as they sang a gentle melody.
“wise men say
Only fools rush in
but i can't help falling in love with you
......”
The equipment was rudimentary, and the accompaniment even had some background noise, but that only gave it a sense of returning to simplicity, like the tireless flames leaping in a stove fire, with genuine emotions rising in the musical notes. After it aired, the clip from Package C quickly surpassed one million views.
—What kind of weird name is "kkk North Latitude 37 Degrees Cloud Star Special"?
——Our rabbit line~Remembering their pre-debut days
—Number one in listening to my gossip! Number one in helping me out of trouble! Number one in being the best match for me! May Yunqi and Yunxing walk the flower path together forever!
—Let's have more collaborations between Yuqi and Yunxing! Their voices are kissed by angels!
—500??? Oh my god! You can hear Yoon-sung sing for just 500 won? Jealousy is making me unrecognizable. I want to be there too TT
—Additional Set Meal No. 1, our delicious Set Meal C, hehe...
—Uncle Gen's competitive spirit is number one, he even released a special package, hahaha!
—Is kkk the special drink that "I guess you'll definitely order"?
—This person with an alternate account definitely has a keen sense of style.
—But I declare "Can't Help Falling in Love with You" the best. My lips are curving upwards in a crazy smile; I feel so happy. These two goddesses are so gentle...
—I'll say it a million times, I want to hear Yunxing sing love songs, they're perfect for her.
—I'm going to join the fun at Cube's new draft; I want to see the two guys' actual condoms in person.
—I'm so touched, time flies so fast, our Yunqi will have a junior sister soon!

Clothes were piled up haphazardly on the sofa in the walk-in closet. Han Yunxing held a clothes hanger and hung a black oversized suit jacket in front of her. She looked at herself in the mirror from left to right, but was still not satisfied.
Kwon Ji-yong, seizing the opportune moment, handed over a white dress, the one he had just chosen. Han Yoon-sung, holding the white dress in one hand and the black suit jacket in the other, switched them back and forth, comparing the effect in the mirror. She turned to Kwon Ji-yong and pouted, "Oppa, should I be more serious or gentle on our first meeting?"
In Cube's latest girl group survival show, Light It Up, Han Yunxing will become the general producer of the debut girl group and will naturally participate in the debut project assessment. Today is the first group assessment in Light It Up. Han Yunxing is taking the first meeting very seriously and is so overwhelmed with choosing clothes that she doesn't know what to wear.
Han Yunxing was so serious about the upcoming assessment that she was a little nervous. Quan Zhilong had some experience, but not much. He just thought she looked particularly cute: Who is it that is going to take the assessment?
Despite his thoughts, Kwon Ji-yong still carefully helped Han Yoon-sung choose clothes. He rested his chin on his hand and thought for a while before finally pointing steadily at the white dress.
The white dress won one vote, and Han Yunxing is now struggling with the black suit again. This may be a sudden case of decision paralysis.
Noticing Han Yunxing's conflicted expression, Kwon Jiyong stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her from behind, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Because you're very pretty."
The warm breath on Han Yunxing's ear made it slightly hot. It was clear that the "pretty" comment wasn't directed at the clothes. Han Yunxing relaxed and leaned against Kwon Jiyong, raising the hand holding the white dress high: "It's good to leave a friendly impression on our first meeting."
Having decided what to wear, Han Yunxing turned around and happily threw herself into Kwon Ji-yong's arms, giving him a tight hug. However, this tenderness lasted only a moment; the next second, Kwon Ji-yong was asked to leave.
At the corner of the corridor, several heads were huddled together furtively, tiptoeing, trying to peer through the slightly open door.
"Hey! Did you see that?" one of them asked urgently in a low voice.
"I saw it! Teacher Yoon-sung is wearing a white dress today, and her hairstyle... looks like a side braid. Her face is so small, is it even the size of my fist? Amazing! God, how can there be such a perfect woman in this world?" Another voice, though lowered, was still very excited: "Next to her is Eun-ji, they get along so well, they've been smiling the whole time."
"Friends, is this the legendary celebrity?!" The owner of the voice also saw the face of the person inside the door, and his voice was full of amazement.
"Shh—keep your voice down, Yunxing is looking over here."
"Ahhh, the door's open! Run!"

Author's Note: Background music: "Can't Help Falling in Love with You"
Lee's Kitchen sang the original version, but I personally love Quan Long's version too [upright rabbit head emoji]
Yunxing will be the producer for Dengmei. The process of the group's formation and the album's style differ from reality.
