Peninsula: I, who was originally a camera, suddenly became an internet sensation.

Chapter 25 Should I tell you I'm a genius producer?

Because they didn't have a car, they had to walk to the subway station and then transfer to another train to go shopping.

Li Yuan dragged his legs, which were still wet from eating noodles with soybean paste, behind the three girls, his steps clearly showing a sense of passive resistance.

"I didn't expect we'd have to take the subway to go shopping with you." Song Yuqi walked in front, glanced back at Li Yuan, and said with a hint of disdain in her voice.

"I never intended for you to come along." Li Yuan rolled her eyes at her, not stopping in her tracks. "Our Lizhi wouldn't say something like that, would she?"

Huang Lizhi walked next to Li Yuan and, upon hearing the question, glanced cautiously at Song Yuqi.

Her gaze swept quickly between the two of them, but she ultimately didn't respond to Li Yuan's words.

I need to maintain a good relationship with Song Yuqi, so I can't possibly undermine her right now.

"Look, even Lychee isn't helping you!" Song Yuqi snorted, raising her chin slightly, looking smug.

The two bickered all the way to the Hyundai Department Store.

This high-end shopping landmark, located in Gangnam District, spans from the basement level to the eighth floor above ground, encompassing every fashion category you can imagine.

This place is synonymous with Seoul fashion; you can find almost anything here, from international brands to niche designer items.

Huang Lizhi originally suggested going to the Gangnam Station underground shopping mall—it's cheaper, more down-to-earth, and a place frequented by young people—but Li Yuan refused.

He's not short of money, so he can't keep making himself suffer, can he?

Back in Beijing, he could dress casually, but now that he's in Seoul, and he'll be doing live streams and traveling between various entertainment companies, he should dress more presentably.

The saying "clothes make the man" is not just a joke; in South Korea, they take this very seriously.

If you dress inappropriately, people won't even bother talking to you.

Inside the elevator, the metal doors slowly closed, and the floor numbers changed one by one.

Song Yuqi suddenly clapped her hands and exclaimed in surprise, "Ah! I suddenly remembered something!"

"What's wrong?" Li Yuan was startled, almost dropping his phone. "Did you forget something?"

"No." Song Yuqi shook her head, first looking at Li Yuan, then at Huang Lizhi, her gaze meaningful. "You're back, so doesn't that mean... you're going to live with Lizhi?"

Huang Lizhi was stunned for a moment when he heard this. His fox-like eyes blinked, and then his face turned red in an instant.

She lowered her head and stared at the tips of her shoes, as if trying to see the shoes through a lens.

"Please don't say such ambiguous things," Li Yuan sighed helplessly. "The house has three bedrooms, what's the difference between it and a dormitory? We're just like roommates at best."

"Then I want to share an apartment too!" Song Yuqi's eyes lit up. "I want a room too! I don't care, just save one for me."

Zhao Meiyan, who was standing next to her, opened her mouth as if to say something, but then closed it again.

"You have your own dorm, what are you doing here at my place!" Li Yuan couldn't help but complain. "My house is so far from your company, do you come here every day? Getting up at 3 a.m. to rush to your gigs, can you even make it this far?"

"I'll keep an eye on you and make sure you don't do anything weird with the lychee!" Song Yuqi puffed out her chest confidently and said righteously.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Li Yuan couldn't help but lightly tap her on the head, making Song Yuqi cry out "Ouch!" and rub her head. "What strange thing is this?"

Huang Lizhi's anxiety, which had been hanging over him, finally eased a little after hearing those words.

She secretly glanced at Li Yuan, then quickly looked away.

Actually, in a small corner of her heart, she quite hoped that Li Yuan would do something "strange" to her.

It's a pity that Oppa is such a blockhead.

"Who knows?" Song Yuqi pouted, rubbing the spot where she had been knocked, her tone still unconvinced. "What if something comes up and they need to stay here? Like, the dorm's water and electricity are cut off, or I get kicked out..."

"Then let's wait until 'what if' to talk about it," Li Yuan interrupted her impatiently. "Don't think about those things now."

"Hmph, he even cursed me!" Song Yuqi snorted twice. Just then, the elevator doors opened, and she grabbed Huang Lizhi's wrist, walking out without looking back. "Lizhi, stay away from him."

Li Yuan watched the two figures walking ahead, shook his head helplessly, and stepped out of the elevator.

At this moment, Zhao Meiyan, who had been walking beside him, came closer:

"Xiao Yuan, how did you meet Xiao Juan? I've never heard Xiao Juan mention you."

In her memory, only Song Yuqi would mention Li Yuan, and every time she would start with "my brother" and talk about embarrassing things.

She was incredibly curious about Li Yuan and Tian Xiaojuan's affair.

"Hmm..." Li Yuan thought for a moment and decided to say a little bit, since Zhao Meiyan could just ask Tian Xiaojuan instead. "Actually, I'm a producer. When Yuqi went to CUBE, Xiaojuan and I had some exchanges about song creation."

"You're also a producer?" Zhao Meiyan's eyes widened in surprise, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.

"I guess so," Li Yuan nodded.

"So, what kind of works do you have?" Zhao Meiyan pressed. "Are they songs from your region, or K-pop songs?"

"It's a K-pop song." Li Yuan glanced at Huang Lizhi and Song Yuqi walking ahead, making sure they weren't looking this way, before lowering his voice to say, "They're all songs written for some unknown small groups, you definitely haven't heard them before."

"Oh." Zhao Meiyan nodded earnestly.

Indeed, if it's a song by a popular group, she should have heard of Li Yuan.

She had a vague recollection of the producers of those hit singles, and there were very few people with the surname Li on the list, let alone Chinese people.

"I, Rain, Cheer Up, What is Love?, aren't these famous?" Song Yuqi, who was walking ahead, slowed down at some point and began reciting the names one by one, as smoothly as reciting a menu: "Dumb Dumb, Red Flavor, BooMBAYAH, DDU-DU DDU-DU—what about these?"

She knows all of Li Yuan's aliases, and now she's going to expose them without missing a single one.

As Song Yuqi rattled off one famous song title after another, Zhao Meiyan's expression changed from surprise to shock, until her mouth was agape in a perfect "O" shape, unable to close for a long time.

These songs—each one a top hit on the year charts, each one a significant chapter in K-pop history.

And they were all made by this seemingly ordinary young man in front of me, who was just fairly handsome?

Li Yuan isn't exactly the kind of handsome guy who's stunning at first glance; among a group of handsome male idols, he'd probably just be considered average.

Although there are fewer and fewer handsome guys in boy bands nowadays.

Thinking about it this way, Li Yuan might be able to compete for the top spot in a current boy band.
