PNB Chapter 3 is truly a demon.
Chapter 3 is truly a demon.
Huang Lizhi stood at the front desk, her hands nervously gripping the hem of her skirt, carrying an ordinary backpack, looking completely out of place.
The receptionist had never heard of Lin Yuan, but Huang Lizhi's clear eyes still touched her, so she looked him up on the computer and actually found him.
"Found it. Do you have an appointment? Or can I contact them for you?"
"No... I didn't make an appointment." Huang Lizhi lowered his head, his fox-like eyes brimming with tears, looking somewhat disappointed. "He told me to come here to find him."
Just then, the elevator doors opened with a "ding".
"Mmm, little mmm~" Lin Yuan's cheeky voice came over.
Li Zhi'en walked ahead angrily. "Lin Yuan, if you call me Xiao En'en again, I won't talk to you anymore. Do you believe I'll confiscate your employee ID?" She waved her little fist and threatened with a smile.
"No, little...IU, senior?" Lin Yuan clasped his hands together, pleading with a fawning expression.
Upon hearing this voice, Huang Lizhi suddenly looked up.
It was the man who tricked her out of the sandwiches and cried his eyes out in the phone booth. He was playfully fighting with a woman wearing a baseball cap and whose face was half-covered by a mask.
"Oppa!" she called out instinctively.
Lin Yuan heard the sound and looked over curiously.
Huang Lizhi stood alone in the hall, looking at him with a pitiful expression.
"Lychee? You came so fast? I thought you'd be a while longer." Lin Yuan walked over in surprise, completely forgetting that Li Zhi'en was still angry.
Hwang Ye-ji smiled shyly, "Yes, I happened to be nearby. I came over as soon as I got the call." His eyes involuntarily drifted to Lee Ji-eun behind him.
Oppa just called her IU, right? This is Loen, and she's still called IU. So the only one is singer Lee Ji-eun, who is her idol.
Lee Ji-eun took off her sunglasses and looked at her with great interest.
Her eyes are long and narrow with slightly upturned corners. When she's not smiling, she looks a bit fierce, but when she smiles, she transforms into a beautiful and cunning little fox.
Lee Ji-eun walked up to Lin Yuan and teased with a smile, "So... you got chased all the way to the company for free food and drinks?"
Lin Yuan awkwardly touched his nose: "Don't talk nonsense. She's the dance teacher I hired. She's not someone your mediocre skills can compare to."
"Annyeonghaseyo, I'm Hwang Yeji, hello IU sunbaenim." Lychee bowed obediently, unconsciously addressing her as a sunbaenim because she wanted to become an artist.
Lee Ji-eun suddenly became interested in her. "Hello, I'm Lin Yuan's... creditor?" she said, raising an eyebrow at him. "You can just call me unnie."
Lychee grasped her hand, feeling its softness and smoothness. "Yes, Ji-eun unnie."
Seeing the two of them getting along so well, Lin Yuan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
One is a future top female solo artist in South Korea, a national-level artist who excels in film, television, and music.
One is a future monster rookie, the captain of the special forces girl group ITZY.
With these two together, it seems his good days are numbered.
"Um... Ji-eun, how about we go upstairs and talk about it?" Lin Yuan pointed to the elevator. "There are too many people coming and going downstairs."
The three then went to Lee Ji-eun's practice room.
Pushing open the door, Lychee was stunned by the spacious and bright practice room; her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"This...is this really a practice room I'm allowed to come to? It's way too big!"
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Of course you can come. You'll be teaching me to dance here from now on. Do you like it?"
Hwang Ye-ji nodded heavily: "I like it." She had thought all practice rooms were pretty much the same, either underground or dark and dilapidated.
Now it seems that it was simply because she had no access to high-end practice rooms.
Lee Ji-eun sneered from the side, "Litchi, this is something your 'part-time' oppa specifically begged me to get~"
Lin Yuan glared at her fiercely. She really knew how to bring up the most sensitive topics. It was just a part-time job; was it really necessary to bring it up again and again?
"Litchi, take a look at this yourself first. I have something to say to Ji-eun unnie."
Huang Lizhi was speechless. Why did everyone call her Lychee?
Lin Yuan pulled Lee Ji-eun to a corner and hissed, "Lee Ji-eun, what are you trying to do? Is it fun to ruin my reputation?"
Although Huang Lizhi couldn't hear what they were saying, she could sense the subtle atmosphere between them. She stood obediently to the side, not saying a word, just blinking at them.
Lin Yuan sighed helplessly, "Alright, we can talk about it later." Then he looked at Huang Lizhi, "Lizhi, I'm counting on you from now on."
Huang Lizhi nodded and said apologetically, "Okay, but I need to check your qualifications first. If they're not good, I'll have to charge you more."
"Sure, but...maybe I'm not so bad?"
Huang Lizhi thought for a moment after hearing this, and then said seriously, "In short, I will not charge money until I have taught him."
Why?
"Because that wouldn't be pure. I don't want to teach for money, but because I enjoy it."
Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't quite understand, he was still greatly shocked.
No wonder he's the future leader of ITZY, his ideas are just different.
"Okay, then you'd better watch carefully."
Lin Yuan took off his coat, revealing a white vest underneath, his strong arms exuding power.
He found a song he liked, a song he had learned on his own when he was bored in his previous life, called "My Sister is So Pretty".
As the music started, Lin Yuan took a deep breath, then opened his eyes and began to move his body to the rhythm.
Although her movements were still a bit clumsy, it was still passable. She had some basic skills, but not many. Especially her eyes, which seemed to electrify her. Lee Ji-eun blushed, thinking, "Damn, how come she's getting more and more charming?"
Huang Lizhi watched intently, his face growing increasingly grim.
Although she was young, she was very talented. She immediately saw the problem: her foundation was average, and she lacked coordination. Her only advantage was her confidence, which suited her personality perfectly.
As the song ended, Lin Yuan, panting, said, "How was it? Wasn't my dancing amazing? I'm definitely good enough to debut!"
*Pfft!*
Lee Ji-eun couldn't hold it in any longer. If there hadn't been outsiders around, she would have already been lying on the ground clutching her stomach. I really don't know where he got his confidence.
Huang Lizhi tilted his head and thought for a moment, then stepped forward and poked his waist.
"Oppa, your core strength is insufficient, and your movements are too rigid."
As she spoke, she reached out and pressed him down, saying seriously, "Now, do as I say, bend over backwards."
"Ah!!! No... no no no." Before he could finish speaking, he was pressed down again.
"ah!!!"
The entire practice room was filled with his wails.
Lee Ji-eun looked at them with a strange expression. It seemed... they were being a little too intimate!
Huang Lizhi pointed at him without any regard for his appearance, and even touched him directly. If it weren't for her young age, Li Zhi'en would have thought she was a perverted woman, given how skilled she was.
For the next two hours, Lin Yuan felt like he was in hell.
He was being forced to bend over backwards and do splits; if he couldn't go down, he would be pressed down, and if he couldn't be pressed down, he would be pulled down. He could no longer feel his limbs.
