Chapter 27 I Don't Want to Lose It Yet The "Shy" Zhao Nian
As we all know, a woman's "goodnight" isn't really goodnight; she's just finding a plausible excuse to end the conversation.
Mina stared at the last two words Jiang Yongtai sent on the screen, clutched her phone to her chest, and pursed her lips into a tight line.
Goodnight? Have they ever said goodnight to each other before? Not even once.
Frustrated, she pulled the blanket over her head, burying herself completely inside.
Mina, what are you thinking?!
Jiang Yongtai is just your friend, a male friend who can be separated from the identity of Mina!
Maintain a proper distance in this relationship; you're not the kind of people who can say goodnight to each other!
Don't cross the line! Don't cross the line! Don't cross the line!
As Mina redefined the relationship in her mind, she pulled back the blanket covering her head. Minatozaki Sana was leaning against the bed, blinking at her.
"Mina, are you sulking because of the game?"
Mina was so frightened that she shrank back against the headboard, her voice unconsciously rising a little.
"Sa, Sana, why didn't you make a sound when you came in?"
Sana Minatozaki chuckled and stepped back a little, waving her phone around.
"If I called you, how could I have filmed Mina kicking off the blanket?"
She pressed play, and in the video, Mina was burying herself under the covers, kicking her legs restlessly several times.
Mina's face grew redder and redder as she looked at the phone, and she reached for it.
"Sana, please delete it~"
"We're friends, of course..."
Sana Minatozaki hid her phone behind her back, looked at Mina's expectant eyes, and chuckled.
"Of course I can't delete it! I'm going to save it carefully~"
Mina bit her lip, knowing she couldn't get it back for the time being, and then gave up.
"What do you want from me? You didn't just come here to take pictures of me without my consent, did you?"
Sana Minato made an unintelligible sound effect and jumped onto the bed.
"No, I just couldn't sleep, so I came to see you."
"Oh, I've seen it, you can go now."
Mina pushed Sana Minatozaki, who was pressing down on her leg, to the side.
Instead, Sana Minatozaki hugged her leg and started acting cute, rubbing her face against the blanket.
Mina knew that if she resisted at this moment, Sana Minato would only get more excited, so she let her make a fuss.
She picked up her phone and started searching for recent news about "Heartbreaking Trip," wanting to see who the guest Jiang Yongtai was talking about who almost got him fired was.
Sana Minatosaki made a fuss for a while, but when she realized that Mina was completely ignoring her, she immediately felt bored.
She released her grip, raised her head, and casually scanned Mina's room, a hint of doubt flickering in her mind.
Where's that hat? Where did Mina put it?
She sat up and looked around again. It wasn't on the bedside table, the clothes rack, or the desk.
Mina caught a glimpse of her peeking around and couldn't help but speak up:
"Sana, what are you looking for?"
"Huh? I wasn't looking for anything, hehe~"
Sana Minato looked away, not directly asking where the hat had gone, just in case she was overthinking it.
"I'm going back. Mina was really boring~"
Mina rolled her eyes at her and turned her attention back to the search results on her phone screen.
Four new guests: Jang Do-yeon, Narsha, Seohyun, and Cho Mi-yeon... Wait, Cho Mi-yeon...
I met Yongtai-san at the pop-up store last time. Could the guest he was talking about be her?
She frowned slightly.
Seeing that Mina's attention was drawn to her phone, Sana Minato pursed her lips, rolled out of bed, but her eyes caught sight of the rainbow candy wrapper on the bedside table...
It looks like the bag Mina ate in the practice room this afternoon?
She remembered seeing that the bag was empty, so why did she bring it back? Mina probably put it in her pocket and forgot to throw it away.
She picked it up casually.
"Mina, you forgot to take out the trash, I'll take it out for you."
"Oh, okay..."
Mina looked up, her pupils contracting slightly. "Wait, we can't lose this!"
Sana Minatozaki, who was almost at the door, turned around in surprise when she heard her call out so loudly, her face full of confusion.
"What's wrong, Mina? This is the first time I've heard you speak so loudly."
"……Well."
Mina realized she had overreacted, a hint of embarrassment flashed across her face, and she lowered her voice back to normal volume.
"I still need this packaging bag, so I don't need to throw it away."
Sana Minatozaki glanced down at the packaging bag in her hand.
It's so ordinary. The Skittles paper bag is crumpled and empty, with no sugar powder left. What's the use?
However, since Mina had said so, she went back and handed it to her.
"Sorry, Mina, I thought it was trash."
Mina took it, opened the bedside table drawer, put it inside, and looked up at Sana with a smile.
"It's nothing."
Sana Minatosaki still felt a little strange, but it wasn't anything important worth asking about, so she shrugged.
"I'm going back to sleep now. Mina, you should go to sleep early too."
Minami nodded. "Okay."
Sana Minatozaki walked out of the room, then poked her head back in, leaning against the door frame and tilting her head to look at Mina Mina.
"By the way, Mina's new hair color looks really good!"
Mina smiled slightly at her, "Sana's is also very pretty."
Sana Minatosaki reached out and touched the ends of her hair. For this comeback, she had dyed it an orange-copper color, and the ends of her hair shone with a warm glow under the light, like a ripe persimmon in autumn.
She nodded in satisfaction and closed the door for Mina.
The room fell silent again.
Mina lowered her eyes, reached out and pulled open the bedside table drawer a crack, revealing a crumpled rainbow candy wrapper inside.
The first rainbow candy he gave himself, he didn't seem too keen to just throw it away...
The drawer was gently pushed back in.
Mina pulled the blanket up to her chin, turned to the side, picked up her phone, the screen still showing the guest list for "A Heartbreaking Trip".
She looked at those names, ran her fingers back and forth along the edge of the screen a few times, then turned it off and placed the phone next to her pillow.
Those beautiful eyes stared at the ceiling, and only slowly closed after a long time.
……
As the clapperboard fell, the final scene of the Jeju Island special episode of "A Heartbreaking Trip" officially came to an end.
Sun Changyu stood up from behind the monitor, clapped his hands with a smile.
"Thank you for your hard work these past two days, Du Lianxi, Narshaxi, and Miyeonxi."
The three of them smiled and bowed slightly to the production team.
Sun Changyu turned around and raised his voice to the FD and VJs, his tone serious.
"Pack everything up, and whatever you do, don't lose any of the materials. If we lose them again this time, we're really finished!"
"Yes! Got it, PD-nim!"
Everyone responded and began packing up the equipment.
Zhao Meiyan moved closer to Zhang Dulian, stared at the gold badge on her collar, and reached out to touch it.
"Unnie, is this real gold?"
"Of course, the production team is very generous."
Zhang Dulian straightened his badge smugly and glanced to the side.
Although this was a special episode with only four guests, the production team still prepared a gold badge for the captain with the highest final score, as is the show's tradition.
Currently, only Zhao Meiyan is giving scores to Zhang Dulian and Narsha, and she unhesitatingly cast her vote for Zhang Dulian, who has been taking care of her these past two days.
Narsha stood beside her, arms crossed, looking at the badge with a resentful expression.
"Sigh... If Joo-hyun hadn't been injured and had to withdraw, this gold badge would have been mine!"
Zhang Dulian gave her a disdainful look.
"Unnie, if Joohyun were still here, you wouldn't be the leader today, would you?"
"Aish!"
Narsha cursed and reached out to tear the badge off her collar.
Zhao Meiyan watched the two of them bickering again, her shoulders shaking with laughter. She glanced to the side and spotted Jiang Yongtai squatting on the ground helping FD collect cables.
His profile was outlined cleanly by the afternoon sunlight, and Zhao Meiyan couldn't help but swallow.
She glanced at her agent, who was making a phone call not far away, with his back to her.
She cheered herself up and walked towards Jiang Yongtai.
"PD, nim..."
Jiang Yongtai straightened up, saw that it was Zhao Meiyan, and smiled, "Oh, it's Meiyan-xi. You've worked hard these past two days."
Zhao Meiyan quickly shook her head.
"No, no, it's PD-nim who's working hard."
Jiang Yongtai noticed the unease in her tone and softened his voice.
"Miyeon-xi, there's no need to be so nervous. You seem quite outgoing on the show, so why are you so shy in private?"
"Huh? Shy? Me?"
Zhao Meiyan pointed blankly at herself.
"Yeah, we've met several times already, and you always seem like this. Am I really that hard to get along with?"
So that's how he saw me...
Zhao Meiyan's neck turned slightly red, and she anxiously looked up and stared into his eyes.
"PD-nim isn't here, PD-nim is a really nice guy!"
Her reaction surprised Jiang Yongtai for a moment, then he laughed.
"Okay, that will make things more convenient for us from now on, right, Miyeon?"
"Inside!"
Zhao Meiyan paused for a moment, then flashed a big smile.
"You can just call me PD-nim."
Jiang Yongtai shook his head inwardly.
Isn't this girl a little too easy to understand? All her emotions are written on her face.
"Oh, right, Miyeon, I have something for you to take back."
Before she could react, he walked to the van and returned carrying a box, which he handed to her.
"Hey, didn't you say these steamed buns were delicious when we were filming? I bought a few boxes too. Take this box back and share it with your teammates."
Zhao Meiyan looked down and saw that it was the most famous red bean bun from Jeju Island that they had eaten during the filming. The outer skin was soft and fluffy, and the inside was filled with a red bean paste filling that was as smooth as chocolate.
She was just thinking to herself whether she should buy some to take back to the dormitory for her younger sisters to try.
"That's not appropriate. I'll transfer the money to PD-nim."
"No need, it's just a small gift. I had a lot of fun with you and Yuqi at the pop-up store last time. I really like Yuqi, she's a very lively child."
"Yes, Yuqi is very lively, or rather, too lively."
Zhao Meiyan felt a little embarrassed. Last time, Song Yuqi kept pushing her towards Jiang Yongtai in the pop-up store, and she shyly kept the distance between herself and Jiang Yongtai.
This self-deceiving little trick caused her to be laughed at for a whole week after she got back!
"Take it." Jiang Yongtai stuffed the box into her hand.
"It was a pleasure working with you this time. You're very suited for variety shows. Let's film a show together again if there's a chance next time."
"Yes, I will try my best!" Zhao Meiyan solemnly assured him.
Jiang Yongtai chuckled and made a joking remark.
"Gidle's performance is very good. I should work harder, otherwise I wouldn't be able to invite you to the show."
"No way!"
Zhao Meiyan raised her eyes and looked intently into his eyes.
"If PD-nim calls me, I'll definitely go on PD-nim's show!"
Jiang Yongtai smiled and nodded.
"Okay, then the agreement from last time still stands. I'll invite you first after I start my own show."
"Thank you, PD!"
After she finished speaking, she was about to bow again when Jiang Yongtai reached out and stopped her.
"It'll be more convenient if you tell me. Your agent seems to be looking for you. Go over there."
Zhao Meiyan glanced back; her agent had already hung up the phone and was looking around for her.
She quickly turned to leave, then turned back, hesitated for a moment, and spoke.
"PD-nim...can I have your contact information?"
Jiang Yongtai nodded.
"Of course, I almost forgot. Give me your phone number."
Zhao Meiyan's eyes lit up, and she recited a string of numbers, which Jiang Yongtai saved on his phone.
"Alright, I'll contact you once the show starts."
"must!"
"must."
Zhao Meiyan carried the box and jogged briskly back to her manager. Jiang Yongtai watched her retreating figure, smiled, and shook his head.
"Brother, does Mi-yeon have feelings for you?"
Kim Sung-woo suddenly appeared from nowhere, lowering his voice and making faces.
Jiang Yongtai glanced at him sideways. "Have you finished packing?"
"no."
"If you don't have it, hurry up and collect it."
Kim Sung-woo looked at Kang Young-tae, whose expression had instantly returned to blank, and felt a deep sense of grievance.
He's all smiles and kindness towards pretty girls, but so cold to me. What happened to equality?! Will he ever be able to stand up again?!
But to avoid angering Jiang Yongtai and being assigned more physical labor, he slunk away.
Jiang Yongtai helped FD load the last few props into the car, then straightened up and stretched.
Sun Changyu walked over and patted him on the shoulder. "Yongtai, you've worked hard this time."
"No, Changyu-ge, I wasn't of much help."
"No need to be modest. The ideas you came up with today were all excellent, and they allowed Mei Yanxi to shine."
Jiang Yongtai smiled. After chatting with Mina last night, he stayed up for a while and found a point in the process that he could use.
Having the local female divers speak Jeju dialect with the members, and the somewhat naive yet cheerful reactions of Jo Mi-yeon, produced a great effect.
"We have to do something to make up for yesterday's mistakes."
His voice lowered a little.
Sun Changyu sighed.
"Don't overthink it, you did nothing wrong... However, General Manager Nam Seung-ho already knows about Seo Hyun's accident and specifically asked your secretary to have you see him when you get back."
Jiang Yongtai frowned slightly; as expected, what was bound to happen would happen.
"I understand, Changyu-ge. Thank you for telling me in advance."
Sun Changyu patted him on the shoulder again, but suddenly changed the subject.
Have you been in contact with PD Na these past few days?
Jiang Yongtai paused for a moment, then shook his head.
"no."
Sun Changyu nodded without saying anything, only saying, "Get in the car, we're going back to Seoul," before turning and walking towards the van.
Jiang Yongtai stood there, his brows furrowing even more deeply.
Having been with tvN for so long, Son Chang-woo must know a lot. He suddenly reminded Nam Seung-ho that he would be looking for him after they returned, and also mentioned Na Young-seok.
The meaning of these two sentences together is crystal clear.
It seems that Sun Changyu has already become Nam Seung-ho's man. Asking him if he had been in contact with Na Young-seok is to see how deeply he is bound to Na Young-seok...
He stood there for a moment, zipped up his jacket, and walked toward the van.
Before I even got on the bus, my phone vibrated in my pocket.
Jiang Yongtai took it out and glanced at it—it was Luo Yingxi.
The message is very short.
"Yongtai, come see me when you get back."
Jiang Yongtai raised an eyebrow. Sun Changyu had just mentioned Luo Yingxi when Luo Yingxi's message arrived.
Things seem to be getting interesting...
He put his phone in his pocket, opened the car door, and got in.
