Peninsula: Superpowered Daily Life

Chapter 21 My Neighbor is a Big Star

Sun Shengwan wasn't a good drinker. Before Zhou Wenzhe even realized what was happening, she was already drunk, her face flushed, talking nonsense. However, what she said was disjointed and incoherent, leaving him completely confused.

Finally, he helped Son Seung-wan to the guest room and let her sleep there. She was drunk and had just returned from the United States and was still jet-lagged, so she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

Zhou Wenzhe glanced at the sleeping Sun Shengwan, smiled slightly, then covered her with a blanket, drew the curtains, turned off the light, left the room, and closed the door.

Back in the restaurant, Zhou Wenzhe waved his hand gently, and the messy scene instantly became clean and tidy, with even the pots, pans, bowls, and chopsticks lying neatly in the cupboard.

Just as he was about to go back to his room to take a shower and go to bed, he heard a cell phone ringing from the living room.

The ringtone wasn't coming from his phone.

Zhou Wenzhe walked over and took out the constantly ringing cell phone from the bag that Son Seungwan had brought. The caller ID on the screen read "Joohyun unnie".

Should I answer or not?

He hesitated.

After much deliberation, he finally answered the phone.

"Seungwan, when are you coming back?" Bae Joo-hyun's voice came through the phone, her tone gentle.

"Uh... well... Seungwan is asleep." Zhou Wenzhe hadn't expected Bae Joo-hyun to have such a gentle side, which really impressed him.

When Bae Joo-hyun heard Zhou Wenzhe's voice, she was taken aback at first. Then, after hearing what he said, a romantic scene quickly flashed through her mind, and she blushed immediately.

These two...

Surprisingly...

When he heard no sound from the other end of the phone, Zhou Wenzhe glanced at the screen. The call hadn't ended, so he asked again, "Did you need something from her?"

"fine."

After saying that, Bae Joo-hyun hung up the phone, but her expression was very unpleasant.

Looking at the phone that had been hung up, Zhou Wenzhe curled his lip. She really had no manners, and her personality was terrible. Then he checked the intimacy system, and sure enough, his intimacy with Bae Joo-hyun had dropped by 3 points, from 19 to 16.

"I want to see what happens when it drops to 0," Zhou Wenzhe thought indignantly.

Just now.

With a "ding," the system's voice rang out.

You have a new task. Please check it.

Another new assignment?

Zhou Wenzhe quickly checked.

Damn~

He was just complaining; he didn't really want to see what the effect of the intimacy level dropping to 0 would be.

The task the system automatically assigned him this time was called "Freezing Point," which required him to reduce his intimacy level with Bae Joo-hyun to 0 points for three months.

Although this task is a bit far-fetched, the reward is very good.

[Free Intimacy Points +10, Free Attribute Points +5, Gold Coins +500, Random Skill +1]

The reward of "random skill +1" is extremely rare. In the past ten years or so, Zhou Wenzhe has only encountered a mission with this reward five times.

He failed the final mission twice out of the five missions and didn't receive the reward. In the other three missions, he obtained some very good skills, such as the [Spatial Teleportation] skill.

It's strange, though. Why did their intimacy level drop again this time, and by a whole three points? He only answered a phone call. Could it be that he was unhappy just because he heard his own voice?

That strange woman, one day I'll teach her a lesson she won't forget.

. . .

The next day, Son Seung-wan slowly woke up from her sleep.

When she realized she was in an unfamiliar environment, she sat up abruptly, but quickly realized she was at Zhou Wenzhe's house, and her heart slowly calmed down.

Suddenly remembering something, she lifted the blanket and looked at herself. She was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, except for some wrinkles, and not a single button was undone.

"Hmph, am I really that unattractive? Even after all this, can't you just not..." Son Seungwan muttered, but slowly her face turned red.

At that moment, the door was suddenly opened, and Son Seung-wan, who was still in a fantasy, quickly lay down and covered her head with a blanket, which felt a bit like being caught doing something wrong.

"You're awake. Your agent called you just now, but I didn't answer." Zhou Wenzhe walked over and threw his phone on the bed. After last night's lesson, he decided that he would never answer other people's calls again.

"Oh." Son Seungwan sat up again, picked up her phone, and sure enough, there were two missed calls, both from her manager.

"Breakfast is ready. Come out and eat after you finish your call." Zhou Wenzhe turned and walked out of the bedroom.

"Um."

Son Seungwan called her manager back. After hanging up, she saw in her call log that there was another call with Bae Joo-hyun from the previous night.

When was this played?

She had absolutely no recollection of it.

Did he hit himself while drunk?

Forget it, forget it.

Son Seung-wan got out of bed, but instead of having breakfast, she opened the bathroom door and went in. She hadn't removed her makeup last night and smelled of alcohol, so of course she had to wash herself clean first.

Only after taking a shower did she realize that she didn't have any clean clothes to change into, and the outfit she was wearing was no longer suitable for her.

After putting on a bathrobe, Son Seungwan walked out of the bedroom and into the living room, where she said to Zhou Wenzhe, who was eating breakfast, "Wenzhe, do you have any clothes that fit me?"

"Wait a minute, let me go find it for you." Zhou Wenzhe looked at Sun Shengwan without makeup. This was the first time he had seen her without makeup since they reunited. Although she was prettier with makeup, she was more approachable without it, more like a girl next door.

Back in the bedroom, Zhou Wenzhe browsed through the walk-in closet. The two had a big difference in body size, but luckily it was summer, so it didn't matter if the T-shirts were a bit big. As for pants, sweatpants would be fine; he could just roll up the cuffs.

She came out with the clothes she had chosen and handed them to Son Seung-wan.

Son Seung-wan took the clothes and looked at them, then said, "You also need to find me a coat."

"It's so hot outside, why are you wearing a jacket?"

"You can't just give me a white T-shirt, can you?"

"What's wrong with the white ones? They're all new."

"Hey, look at this." Son Seungwan held up her T-shirt, pointing it at the sunlight streaming through the window. "Don't you think there's something wrong with this?"

Now Zhou Wenzhe understood. It was just that the T-shirt was a bit see-through, so the color of the underwear underneath could be seen.

"Okay, I'll go find some more for you."

. . .

After breakfast, Sun Shengwan was about to go home. Zhou Wenzhe offered to take her home, and she didn't refuse. The two of them walked out of the house together and took the elevator downstairs.

Just as the elevator descended two floors, it stopped, the doors opened, and a girl was standing at the door, about to enter the elevator.

This is a chance encounter with a neighbor, but it's the first time Zhou Wenzhe has met this neighbor either. He moved in a bit to make way for the doorway.

However, Son Seung-wan, who was standing next to him, looked at this woman with surprise and a little guilty.

The girl at the elevator entrance looked equally surprised and astonished when she saw Son Seungwan. She walked in and asked, "Hey, Wendy, what are you doing here?"

After asking the question, the girl looked at Zhou Wenzhe, and then at Sun Shengwan. Only then did she notice that Sun Shengwan was wearing a set of men's clothes.

This is... I stumbled upon their relationship?

"Hello, Yoona sunbaenim." Son Seungwan bowed very politely in greeting.
