es to enhance his charm, keeping him at the top of his popularity. 。His debut video still gets a considerable number of views every day, keeping him relevant. 。And no one knows who uploaded it online..." Tzuyu, where are we eating"

"No today, I have a friend coming to visit me."

Chou Tzu-yu was packing her things while politely declining her friend's usual invitation.

"Friend, are they trainees from our company"

"Well... it's not our company."

Chou Tzu-yu didn't seem very eager to talk much. After a moment of thought, she didn't even grab her bag, just tucked her phone into her pocket, turned to smile at the other person, and said, "I'll go first, let's eat together tomorrow," before quickly walking out and leaving the practice room.

Several friends looked at her back, some curious and some puzzled, exchanging glances with each other.

After walking out of the company building, Zhou Tzuyu jogged all the way to the agreed place. Her small boots made a steady tapping sound on the ground. Her originally neat long black hair bounced up and down as she ran. The cold wind blowing towards her tousled the few strands of bangs on her forehead, making her have to run while also bending over to smooth her hair.

Turning a corner, she arrived at the agreed-upon spot. From about ten meters away, she saw a rather eye-catching white two-door sedan parked there. Its distinctive model was quite noticeable. Zhou Tzuyu walked to within two or three meters of the car and stopped, hesitant to confirm. She even took out her phone to check the license plate number that Chi Jingyuan had just sent her. After confirming it several times, she slowly walked over.

It's just that the exterior of this Mercedes-Benz is really eye-catching. Even after confirming the license plate number, Zhou Ziyu was still a little hesitant. She walked around the car for most of the circle and hesitated to open the door. She tried to look inside from the window, but her vision was blocked by the dark tinted film. When she reached the passenger door, she was just about to hesitate, when suddenly there was a soft sound. The door handle that had originally been embedded in the car door automatically extended, directly attracting Zhou Ziyu's attention.

After receiving the signal, she tentatively reached out and grasped the doorknob. With a gentle tug, the special gull-wing door swung open upwards. She stared in amazement as the car door opened, her head rising slowly with the door in perfect synchrony.

"Come in, what are you looking at" A voice called from inside the car, familiar but clearly impatient. Zhou Tzuyu hurriedly replied with an "Ah" and hopped inside.

……

"Hey, a, look at that car, it's so cool."

Across the street, about ten meters away, several trainees in neon outfits were gathered at a shop’s entrance buying fish cakes and stir-fried rice cakes. As they were bored, Momoko Saigō spotted a rather conspicuous sports car parked not far away. She hurriedly tugged on Minami Nagi next to her, pointed across the street, and became quite excited.

"Well, he is quite handsome... It looks like a Mercedes SLS AMG, but I don't know which model." Minami Minami, who was originally looking at her phone, looked up and glanced at him twice before nodding in confirmation.

“How do you know” Ping Jing looked at her in surprise.

"You probably saw it in a magazine," Minami said, barely glancing at her. She didn't seem very interested.

“Really, I love this car model so much…” Her companion’s lack of cooperation couldn’t dampen Pingjing Tao's enthusiasm. She stood there, staring intently at the car across from her. Just as she had been looking for a few seconds, a figure suddenly ran from afar to the side of the car. Under their gaze, it circled once before opening the door and getting in directly.

A friend I've known for ten years recommended this app for reading, Huanyuan App! It's really good, I use it to listen to audiobooks while driving or before bed to pass the time. You can download it here: .huanyuanapp

Her eyes flashed, and she pointed hesitantly in that direction, probingly asking, "Hey, wasn't that just a summer trainee from our company, named Zhou..."

"Her name is Zhou Tzuyu."

Minami also saw her. The other party didn't hide it at all, she recognized her at a glance. They were trainees who occasionally met at the company, and they even had a few words together during the monthly assessment before. Although they weren't familiar, she at least recognized her.

"Yeah, that's her. I didn't expect her to be a rich girl either" Pingwei Tao looked over there and smacked her lips, feeling a little surprised.

Perhaps...

Naomi glanced at it and quickly looked away, glancing at her phone with some boredom: "It has nothing to do with us. Let's just finish buying and go eat."

"It is... However, this car model is really handsome. Take another look."

…………

Silver and white hair gently swayed, meticulously styled to appear messy yet layered. Pool Jingyuan might have been working before arriving, a light layer of makeup still visible on his face. The boy who countless girls screamed for was just sitting casually beside her.

Even though they had known each other for a long time and had probably met countless times in private, at this moment Zhou Tzuyu still felt an indescribable, intense shock. Her mouth slightly opened involuntarily, her heart pounding rapidly, yet she couldn't utter a word, as if her voice was stuck.

"Close the door."

"...Oh."

Just when she was also a little dazed, a grumpy voice suddenly came, making Zhou Tzuyu jolt awake. She reflexively replied with a sound and hurriedly turned her head, feeling her face getting a little warm.

Chi Jingyuan relaxed his grip on the straw and turned his head, giving her a strange look.

Today Tzuyu is wearing a long, emerald green down jacket. The hat brim is lined with fluffy raccoon fur, making it look incredibly warm. Her black hair is slightly messy and draped around her collar, giving her a more lively appearance. She didn't wear her beloved blue headband today.

Beneath the slightly long hemline were black fitted casual pants, the lines stretching down to the shins where they met a pair of deep blue fleece snow boots.

The fluffy snow boots stepped on the chassis, looking cute and soft. Coupled with Zhou Tzuyu's somewhat dazed expression at this time, her whole person exudes a silly air.

She looked up for a long time, not knowing how to close the door…

Just as she was getting a little anxious, Chi Jingyuan behind her sighed and said with an exasperated voice, "Sit up slightly. See that handrail at the edge of the door Grab it and pull down."

“Oh…”

"Bang"

With two consecutive clicks, the gull-wing car doors rose and were finally shut. The chilly air and somewhat boisterous sounds outside were instantly cut off, leaving an eerie silence within the vehicle.

Zhou Ziyu sat in the passenger seat, glancing around the car's interior before retracting her gaze and lowering her head slightly. She pursed her lips and felt a little awkward and uncomfortable.

... just doesn't know if this feeling of tension is brought on by the car, or by the people in it.

"What, speechless Still haven't recovered"

Ji Jingyuan glanced at Zhou Tzuyu and pointed to the plastic bag hanging beside the car door: "I bought you a drink just now, have it while it's hot."

"..." Tzuyu looked at him, her eyes blinked once before reaching out to take the bag. She inserted the straw and took a small sip, a slightly sweet, warm current flowing into her body. It seemed to ease the inexplicable tension that had just appeared, making her slowly become more natural.

Putting down her drink, Zhou Tzuyu looked over. "Why did you suddenly call me out here"

Yesterday, Ji Jingyuan called to ask if she was free in the evening. She said that she would send her a message when the time came and then hung up hurriedly. Although Zhou Tzuyu guessed something, she still wanted to confirm it.

"Didn't we say that if you were selected, I would treat you to a meal"

Qi Jingyuan shrugged his shoulders and said very naturally, then raised his chin at her: "Seatbelt."

"Oh."

Chou Tzu-yu responded again with a sigh, turning over to fasten her seat belt while mumbling under her breath, "But I wasn't selected anyway."

The tone was pitiful, like someone who had been wronged.

"Didn't you say you were popular and well-liked I think you're definitely going to be selected, so let's celebrate in advance." Chi Jingyuan saw her flipping back and forth for a few times without finding the seatbelt. He felt a little tired, shook his head and reached out proactively, pressed the button, and pulled the seatbelt from her right side.

But she only fastened the seatbelt halfway and then loosened it, handing it to Zhou Tzuyu to buckle herself.

"Sit back in your original position, Chi Jingyuan added: “And then comes the Chinese New Year, after which we are going to be very busy and there won't be much time.”

Buckling up his seatbelt, Zhou Tzuyu pouted at the words. Ji Jingyuan's confident and mystical expression gave her no reassurance whatsoever.

"What would you like to eat"

"Well... whatever."

I knew it.

Ji Jingyuan shot her a glance, engaged the gear and started the car. The roar of the engine blasted out, the white coupe sped away like the wind, generating a strong pushback that made Zhou Tzuyu shrink back and lean against the chair, slightly nervous.

This car is actually quite satisfactory in terms of both its appearance and driving feel, the only thing is that the engine sound when it starts up is a bit loud, which can be quite eye-catching when there are a lot of people.

"Then how about that Western restaurant I've been to before It's in Cheongdam-dong and pretty close to your company. I've been there a few times and the food is pretty good."

Although he had only just gotten his driver's license, Chi Jingyuan was quite talented behind the wheel. He skillfully maneuvered the Mercedes-Benz on the road, moving smoothly back and forth. However, traffic in Seoul at this time was not good. There were many cars on the road, so he could only drive slowly, stopping and going.

At a red light, Ji Jingyuan noticed Zhou Tzuyu always sneakily glancing at his hair with her peripheral vision. Every time she looked in that direction, she would immediately retract her gaze and pretend nothing happened. The corner of his mouth twitched, feeling a little amused: “This is my new hairstyle for our comeback this time, I just dyed it a few days ago.”

Having been discovered, Zhou Tzuyu stopped pretending and gave a sly smile. Then, she looked over curiously, staring at Ji Jingyuan's profile and hair. "What color is this Silver"

"Ash gray, dy said so." Chi Jingyuan shook the bangs in front of his forehead and glanced at her: "Think it looks good, when you debut later, let your jyp's dy dye one for you too."

"Not a chance!" Zhou Tzuyu hummed softly, turning her head and looking out the window at the street scene.dae in the process. They immediately scrambled to their feet and rushed towards Ji-yeong.It seems like they also want to hug Ji Jingyuan just like before and give him a kiss after."..." Please provide...
