Chapter 27 Girls' Generation will always have 9 members
After a long and tiring day, the Girls' Generation dorm was filled with an atmosphere of utter exhaustion, as if all their energy had been drained.
On the sofa in the living room, Lee Soon-kyu was sitting cross-legged, playing a handheld game console.
Choi Sooyoung rubbed her stomach and leaned closer: "Sun-kyu, aren't you tired? Is this stupid game really that fun?"
"It's precisely because my body is so exhausted that I need to use games to give my brain a mental massage."
Choi Sooyoung rolled her eyes, slumped weakly against the sofa back, and groaned, "Sun-kyu, I'm hungry..."
"Oh, almost dead..."
Seeing that she couldn't rely on the internet-addicted girl, Choi Soo-young suddenly sat up straight and shouted, "I want to order food! Anyone want to join? Don't play dead, or you'll come and steal mine when the delivery arrives!"
"Me, me, me! Sooyoung unnie, get me one!"
With a crisp response, Yoona poked half her body out of the room and raised her hand with a grin.
Choi Soo-young was stunned for a moment.
For some reason, Yoona was always depressed for a while.
He's finally recovered these past few days and has become that lively, mischievous troublemaker again.
However, looking at Yoona's overly bright smile, Choi Sooyoung felt that it was a deliberate attempt to overdo it.
"Don't worry, you'll get your share," Choi Soo-young continued shouting towards the bedroom, "Where's the others?"
Kim Hyoyeon came out and signed up.
Taeyeon, who was lying on the carpet with her chin resting on a cushion while looking at her phone, also raised her hand.
While drying her hair, Pani, who had just come out of the bathroom, shook her head to refuse.
"Eating right after showering is just too sinful!"
"Where's Seohyun?" Kim Hyoyeon asked casually.
"Oh, no need to ask her, the maknae will definitely say something again..." Choi Sooyoung waved her hand.
Before she could finish speaking, Seohyun poked her head out from behind the bedroom door, her face serious, and said, "Unnie, I'm not eating. Eating high-calorie food late at night will cause an imbalance in the stomach's acid-base balance, accelerate cell aging, and unnies will die faster!"
"Ah! Seohyun!!!"
A unified chorus of condemnation erupted from the living room.
Choi Soo-young pointed at the bedroom door, gritting her teeth: "Seo-hyun, go back to your room and read your book!"
"Oh..." Seohyun pouted, looking aggrieved, and pulled her head back.
She didn't understand why, even though she was thinking of her unnies, they never appreciated it.
Yoona sat cross-legged on the carpet, resting her chin on her hands and asking expectantly, "Sooyoung unnie, what should we order, fried chicken or pizza?"
Just as Choi Soo-young was about to speak, she caught a glimpse of Lee Soon-kyu finally putting down his game console.
Her eyes lit up, and she immediately changed her mind: "Let's order that Chinese restaurant! Soon-kyu, you make the call!"
Lee Soon-kyu and Yoona both paused for a moment.
Seohyun, who was about to close the door, also stopped.
"Hey, Zhixing oppa has already debuted, how could he still be in the store?" Lee Soon-kyu said somewhat reluctantly.
"Hey, just ask him, what if he happens to be there?" Choi Sooyoung leaned over and shook Soon-kyu's arm frantically.
Kim Hyoyeon, sitting on the armrest of the sofa, suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Seohyun, didn't you go to the preview screening of 'Haeundae' a few days ago? Did Lee Ji-hyung have a lot of scenes? Was his acting good?"
Xu Xian's heart tightened suddenly.
Why did Hyoyeon unnie suddenly bring this up?!
She glanced at Yoona almost instinctively.
She was watching Sooyoung and Soon-kyu make a fuss with a smile, her expression completely natural. She even joined in by shaking Soon-kyu's arm and making a ruckus with Sooyoung.
Seohyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief before turning around and answering seriously, "Senior's acting was excellent. He delivered the most tear-jerking scene of the entire film. I heard several professional film critics praising him that day."
This high praise immediately caught Choi Soo-young's attention.
"Is he really that good? Isn't he a complete newcomer? How come he wasn't overshadowed by so many senior figures in the industry?"
Just then, a voice drifted out from the shadows behind the sofa: "Not only are you not overshadowed, but you're actually quite eye-catching. And Li Zhixing's physique is amazing, the lines of his abs and back muscles, tsk tsk..."
The living room fell silent instantly.
Everyone suddenly turned their heads to look behind the sofa.
In the dim light, a dark face suddenly rose from behind the sofa, with only the whites of its eyes and a row of teeth reflecting light!
"Aaaaaaah!!!"
"A ghost!!!"
Tiffany plopped down on the ground, and Hyoyeon, who was sitting on the armrest, was so startled that her hand trembled and she almost slipped off.
"Oh, what's your name? It's me!" The ghost rolled her eyes; it was Kwon Yuri, who was wearing a black volcanic mud mask.
Lee Soon-kyu clutched her wildly pounding heart: "Hey, Kwon Yuri, when did you hide there?"
"I've been here the whole time!" Kwon Yuri pointed to the yoga mat at her feet. "I was stretching here before you started playing games on the sofa, okay!"
Just as everyone was preparing to gang up on this unreliable sixth brother, Choi Soo-young astutely caught the blind spot: "Wait a minute, what did you mean by that just now? When did you watch Haeundae?"
The other members also looked at them with confusion, before Choi Sooyoung quickly realized, "Oh! You secretly went to the movies by yourself?"
Kwon Yuri was stunned for a moment after being exposed on the spot.
She chuckled awkwardly to cover her guilt, and said as she backed away, "Um, Xiuying, order one for me too. I'm going to wash off my face mask first!"
After saying that, he rushed into the bathroom like a thief.
The remaining people in the room looked at each other in bewilderment.
Kim Hyoyeon muttered, "I knew Yuri was deliberately hitting on me in the waiting room that day. Lee Ji-hyung is definitely her type!"
Seohyun looked at Yoona with concern.
Yoona seemed not to hear, still sitting cross-legged with a faint smile on her lips.
Tiffany finally caught her breath and patted her chest, concluding, "So, Yuri really is going to steal Sunkyu's man?"
"Hey, you silly Tiffany, are you never going to stop?!" Lee Soon-kyu grabbed a cushion and threw it at her.
Seeing that the topic had completely veered off course, Choi Soo-young, whose stomach was growling, finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Hey, hey, hey, are we going to eat or not? Sun-kyu, hurry up and call!"
Lee Soon-kyu, driven to a headache by the noise, had no choice but to dial Lee Ji-hyung's number.
The phone rang twice before being answered, accompanied by Li Zhixing's voice and the clear sound of a wok stirring.
"Hey, Sun-kyu, are you ordering food again?"
Lee Soon-kyu's eyes widened: "Oh my god, Oppa is really still at the Chinese restaurant? Isn't he afraid the fans will follow him there?"
"Haha, it's not that exaggerated," Li Zhixing laughed. "Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll make it for you."
Lee Soon-kyu covered the microphone of her phone and turned to look at everyone: "Hurry up and sign up!"
Sooyoung and Hyoyeon quickly ordered their portions.
When it was Yoona's turn, Lee Soon-kyu glanced at her hesitantly.
Unexpectedly, Yoona remained calm and said in a light voice, "I'd like a seafood stir-fried noodle dish, extra spicy, the spicier the better!"
Lee Soon-kyu breathed a sigh of relief and was just about to read out the menu when Tiffany next to her suddenly raised her hand timidly: "Um, I'd like a bowl of jajangmyeon too."
"Oh, you just said it was sinful!" Sooyoung was speechless.
Tiffany blinked and answered matter-of-factly, "That was before, made by Zhixing Oppa himself. What's wrong with me eating a little?"
Choi Soo-young immediately retorted, "Why are you calling each other so affectionately? You've only met once, okay?!"
Lee Soon-kyu handed over the menu, then said somewhat apologetically, "Oppa, why don't I go get it myself? It's too much trouble."
"It's alright, I was just about to go to your area anyway."
"That money..."
"No need to pay," Li Zhixing seemed to chuckle on the other end of the phone, then called out to someone, "Sika, tonight's meal is on you, you pay the bill."
Lee Soon-kyu was stunned.
Yoona, who was unconsciously tying the straps of her pajamas with her head down, stopped in her tracks.
Just as everyone was completely bewildered, a piercing scream suddenly came from the other end of the phone:
"Hey, why should I pay?"
The air froze instantly.
Tiffany covered her mouth: "Oh my god, how come Jessica is with Zhixing oppa?"
Kim Hyoyeon was also dumbfounded: "So Jessica went straight to find Lee Ji-hyung as soon as her schedule ended?"
Choi Soo-young gasped, "These two are hanging out together in the middle of the night, could they really be on a date?"
Seohyun's heart sank, and she instinctively looked at Yoona.
The moment Yoona heard Jessica's voice, the forced brightness on her face vanished completely.
Those once lively, doe-like eyes now held only an undisguised sadness.
Amidst the shocked discussions of the surrounding members, Yoona stood up and walked silently toward the entrance.
"Hey, Yoona, where are you going?" Choi Sooyoung called out as she watched her retreating figure.
Yoona's voice was completely flat: "It's a bit stuffy in here, I'm going downstairs for a walk. Sooyoung unnie, could you finish my stir-fried noodles?"
"Bang."
The dormitory door was closed.
The room was left with a group of members staring at each other blankly.
Xu Xian sighed and walked quickly towards the door.
"I'm going to check on Yoona unnie."
......
Forty minutes later, a food delivery motorcycle stopped downstairs in front of Girls' Generation's dormitory.
Jessica had just handed the helmet to Li Zhixing when two packing bags were immediately stuffed into her hands.
Li Zhixing straddled the car and raised his chin: "Carry it up yourself, so I don't get kicked out by Lin Yun'er again."
"Ugh, it's so heavy, and you expect me to carry it myself!" Jessica protested, clearly annoyed.
Li Zhixing ignored her complaints, his gaze falling on her cheek, and then a wicked smile appeared on his lips.
He cracked his knuckles, got out of the car, and approached Sika step by step.
Seeing the familiar, mischievous smile on his face, Jessica felt a sense of foreboding.
She took two steps back, her tone fierce but her voice weak, and warned, "Hey, Li Zhixing, I'm telling you, if you pull my face again, I'll really get angry! Get away from me, oh!"
As Li Zhixing reached out his hand, Jessica closed her eyes in fear and shrank her shoulders.
However, the expected pain of my cheek being pulled did not come.
A warm hand landed on her head, gently smoothing her hair, which was a little messy from wearing a helmet.
Jessica paused for a moment, then slowly opened her eyes.
Under the dim streetlights, Li Zhixing's eyes became gentle and serious.
He looked into Jessica's eyes and said softly, "Don't worry, Girls' Generation will not disband. It will always be the nine of you."
