Peninsula Asteroid

Zhou Ziyu's sudden appearance was like taking out a silencer. The room that was quite lively just now suddenly became silent. There was only the voice of Mingjing Nan telling a story that was still echoing in the ears.

Most of the members of Twice actually knew Zhou Ziyu's little thoughts. After hearing about Mingjing Nan and Chi Jingyuan's relationship, they were surprised and thought of this as their first reaction. They were still worried about what would happen when Mingjing Nan came back. Now the expected scene has really come true.

Several people looked at Zhou Ziyu and Mingjing Nan with some worry, their eyes were sad, and they wanted to say something but stopped. After experiencing Park Jihyo just now, they were afraid that the two would suddenly quarrel, which would make the team atmosphere that had already cracked worse.

Although they were in the same group with Mingjing Nan, to be honest, many of them had a good relationship with Zhou Ziyu. Not to mention that Sun Caiying was in the same dormitory, Minato Saki Sana had always been very close to this youngest. Seeing that there was obviously a problem between the two, they were very anxious.

Ming Jingnan looked at Zhou Ziyu, who was calm at the door, and their eyes met in the air, and she pursed her lips without leaving any trace.

She actually expected it before she came back.

"Ziyu... inside."

Ming Jingnan stood up and smiled at Zhou Ziyu. In the eyes of a group of people who were worried but curious, the two walked to the balcony at the back.

Minato Saka and the others looked at their backs, looked at each other, and looked at each other in silence.

With a "bang", the curtains closed, the balcony door was closed, and a transparent glass door seemed like a natural moat, separating the two silent rooms where even the air was frozen.

The horns and engine sounds of the traffic on the road in the distance lingered far away, and the sound of the cold wind passing through the gaps in the windows made the small balcony seem even more silent.

From the bright dormitory to the dark balcony, in addition to making the eyes of the two people darker and deeper, and unable to see the emotions inside, the suddenly cold temperature also made the bodies that walked in shiver uncontrollably.

Fortunately, it was not long since we returned to the dormitory, so Ming Jingnan had not had time to change clothes, which was fine. Although Zhou Ziyu was only wearing a coat over her pajamas, it didn't seem to affect her.

After they walked in, neither of them spoke. Zhou Ziyu stared at the night lights in the distance, and her pupils were not focused. Ming Jingnan did not speak, but she was not as oblivious as the youngest member next to her.

"Ouni..."

After a long while, the harsh sound of the engine of a street-blasting sports car gradually faded away, and Zhou Ziyu seemed to come to her senses. She turned around and looked at Ming Jingnan, hesitated for a moment and spoke. Her voice sounded calm at first, but after careful consideration, it seemed to carry a hint of expectation and prayer: "Are you really dating him?"

Looking at Ming Jingnan in front of her, Zhou Ziyu couldn't tell what emotion she had towards this familiar sister, anger, sadness, disappointment, surprise, or jealousy?

Maybe all of them.

When I heard the news in the car, I was really shocked. I was stunned for a long time.

In her heart, she has always been the closest to Chi Jingyuan, and their relationship is the most special. The other members of Twice also know this. They are waiting for the relationship to change slowly as they get older... How come a Ming Jingnan suddenly appeared?

After a moment of surprise, she couldn't control her anger... and panic.

Not long after coming to the Peninsula in 2012, she met Chi Jingyuan until now. It can be said that the person has accompanied her all the time after leaving home. He has been imprinted in every corner of her life. In the meantime, she didn't know when her feelings changed... It might be last year's "Rooftop", it might be the touching 2014, or it might be earlier.

Anyway, since the relationship deteriorated, Zhou Ziyu has never considered other people, whether now or in the future, and has never imagined what life would be like without Chi Jingyuan.

When she was young and in love, she met a very stunning Chi Jingyuan. She had a perfect person in her heart, so she felt that everyone was a little bit inferior.

Although she knew that Chi Jingyuan had been dating and his girlfriends were almost seamless, it might be because it didn't happen to her and she didn't have a personal experience. So Zhou Ziyu didn't feel any sense of crisis even though she knew it. She seemed a little naive and thought it wouldn't affect her.

However, when she knew that the person standing next to Chi Jingyuan had become a member of the same group she had been with day and night, Ming Jingnan, she had a strong sense of reality for the first time, and for the first time she had the fear of "possibly losing him" and "he no longer belonged to me".

From the evening until now, after calming down a little, the anger in her heart has actually been suppressed a lot, and her heart is filled with other complicated emotions.

But when she saw the face of the sister who she usually felt very close to, Zhou Ziyu felt a little awkward at this time.

"Well..."

Ming Jingnan heard the distressing pleading in Zhou Ziyu's voice, but she was silent for a few seconds and nodded gently.

At this time, Ming Jingnan's expression and voice returned to their usual gentleness. She was no longer aggressive as she was when facing the captain just now. She was even softer than usual, and had a little bit of guilt.

She had already gone against her nature to quarrel with Park Ji Hyo, but she just got angry in public because she couldn't bear it anymore.

But now, facing Zhou Ziyu, who was usually as quiet and gentle as her, and facing this youngest who didn't speak Korean fluently but still habitually stuttered with the honorific "smecta" after every sentence even when confronting this love rival, she really couldn't find the sharpness and strength just now.

Moreover, she knew that her boyfriend and this youngest were very close, and she knew that if she quarreled with Zhou Ziyu, Chi Jingyuan would be unhappy.

However... although she felt a little guilty, she might give in to Zhou Ziyu in other aspects, but when it came to her boyfriend...

"..."

After getting Ming Jingnan's affirmative answer, Zhou Ziyu was slightly stunned, and the last bit of hope was shattered. She bit her lower lip unconsciously, and in order to maintain her self-esteem, she tried to make a calm expression and looked at Ming Jingnan: "Ouni, when did you and him... get together?"

"It's been more than three months..." Ming Jingnan didn't hide it.

"That was in July or August, so early, I didn't know anything about it..."

Zhou Ziyu silently calculated the time, her expression darkened without a trace, and then she perked up and asked: "Ouni, do you know that I have known him for a long, long time?"

"Well, Tzuyu, you just happened to meet him when you came to the Peninsula."

The members of Twice also knew the general situation later, and Mingjing Nan heard from Sana that she wanted more details, and even knew that the tickets for Zhou Ziyu to watch EXO's concert were given by Chi Jingyuan in the early days.

"Ouni, you are obviously dating and have such a close relationship, why are you pretending not to know each other at all during this period?"

"Because..."

"Then Ouni, before you dated him... did you know that I actually always... liked him?"

"...I know."

Although sometimes I pretend, but I don't pretend thoroughly, and anyone can see it.

"So, unnie..."

Zhou Ziyu's speech speed was getting faster and faster. After asking a few questions, it seemed that her anger had reached a peak. Then she showed her sharpness directly. She interrupted Ming Jingnan, looked at her, and said stiffly word by word with a mocking tone: "So, unnie... do you like to steal other people's things?"

Although she was still stumbling in Korean and using poor honorifics, the emotionless "smecta" at the end of the sentence could not suppress the suppressed anger and questioning. It was the first time that Ming Jingnan saw this youngest member of the team who never blushed at any time and was only unhappy when encountering things.

However, this seemed to be her limit... This well-behaved youngest member still couldn't do such things as tearing her face and cursing.

Facing Zhou Ziyu's questioning, Ming Jingnan paused for a moment. Even though she felt guilty, she still couldn't resist the nameless fire growing.

She really didn't like the word "steal".

She didn't like it, she didn't like it very much.

Hearing this, her harmless look suddenly changed. She pursed her lips and tried to keep a calm tone. She looked at Zhou Ziyu with a soft voice, but it sounded inexplicably tough:

"Then... does he know... he is your thing?"

"..."

Hearing this, Zhou Ziyu, who had just suppressed her anger, was stunned, and her body froze there, as if she was fixed by an invisible force.

Yes, does he know... he belongs to me?

Does he know... I have always liked him?

Maybe because they have been together for too long, or maybe the relationship is too close, Zhou Ziyu has always been accustomed to the special close relationship between her and Chi Jingyuan, and she naturally regards him as her own thing.

But now thinking about it, she found that she had never expressed her feelings and thoughts to Chi Jingyuan directly, and had always been with him as a friend or even a sister. The only time she crossed the line was when she was watching a movie at his house, and she secretly kissed him... But Chi Jingyuan was asleep at the time and didn't know about it.

Looking back now, when Chi Jingyuan was with her in private, and when they were in contact on the phone, whether they were laughing or scolding or habitually complaining about people, it felt like he was treating her like a friend, or even a sister. What he complained about most was that Zhou Ziyu was still a "little brat", and he treated her like a child every time he talked about it.

Moreover, he often talked to her about his relationship with men and women, and he didn't shy away from saying things like "I went out to eat with my girlfriend yesterday".

Now it seems that there is no ambiguity between the two of them.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ziyu's face became paler.

She knew Chi Jingyuan very well. She knew that Chi Jingyuan was very perceptive and could easily guess a girl's thoughts through observation, so the other party should not be completely unaware of her little thoughts, but should know some of them.

But the more she understood, the sadder she felt.

...Because, knowing but pretending not to know, isn't that equivalent to showing an attitude...

Her mind was in chaos after Ming Jingnan asked her a question, as if countless voices were clamoring and laughing at her. The anger in her heart was instantly extinguished by cold water. She always felt that Ming Jingnan had stolen her man, and that she was on the high ground of justice, but her strong feeling was instantly wiped out.

She was so angry just now because she tacitly acknowledged her relationship with Chi Jingyuan. She also knew that the members of Twice knew about it, so she was disgusted and angry about Ming Jingnan's sneaky behavior and felt betrayed.

But at this moment, the point that had been supporting her heart collapsed. Many words, questions, and ridicules that she had prepared before suddenly could not be said. She was at a loss and didn't know what to say.

Seeing that Zhou Ziyu suddenly became depressed and sad, Ming Jingnan paused slightly, and a little guilt was brewing in her heart.

She and Zhou Ziyu are actually somewhat similar, whether it is personality, way of doing things, or the style of not competing or fighting in the team. Both of them are relatively quiet, gentle and introverted.

Maybe only when it comes to love, will two girls with such personalities blush each other.

But when it comes to feelings, she will never give in.

Ming Jingnan sorted out her thoughts, her voice fluctuating with obvious fluctuations: "No one is anyone's private property, you are not his, and he is not yours. You may have known each other for a long time and may have a good relationship, but as long as there is no formal relationship, there is no reason to stop me, or others' feelings about him."

"In fact, if we talk about the time of knowing each other, I am not much later than you. Maybe we haven't known each other for a long time like you and Yuanjiang. There are many trivial daily lives in between, but the moment he appeared in front of me, he instantly filled my world."

"But Tzuyu, there is no first come first served in love. It is not about who knows each other earlier and who knows each other later."

In a trance, Ming Jingnan remembered her first meeting with Chi Jingyuan in the club in 2014. It was one of her most profound memories so far. Maybe they didn't know each other for that long, but in terms of fate, she didn't think she was worse than Zhou Ziyu.

As she spoke, she looked at Zhou Ziyu who was sluggish and silent. She paused for a moment as if she was hesitating about something, and then she said, "Since you have known him so long ago, you should have realized his excellence earlier and more deeply than others."

"Everyone cares about excellent men. Why do you think that such an excellent person will not have others discover his advantages, will not have others like him and take action? Why do you think he will stay there and play house with you?"

"Ziyu, you are not a child anymore..."

The familiar word "child" came into her ears, and Zhou Ziyu's body trembled. She felt as if a huge rock was pressing on her chest, and it was difficult to breathe.

After saying this, Mingjing Nan seemed to be aware of the shock to the youngest member, and did not continue to speak. She slowly moved forward and stood in front of the window, looking at the tall and magnificent skyscrapers in the distance. Listening to the noisy tire friction and horn sounds in her ears, she fell silent for a while.

Although she seemed to have the upper hand and easily dealt with the youngest member's questioning, she still felt a tightness in her chest and a messy mood.

She didn't want this to happen, but...

"I'm sorry..."

After a long silence, Mingjing Nan exhaled lightly, pursed her lips hard, turned around and looked up at Zhou Ziyu who was in a daze, and whispered:

"But I'm not sorry about the fact that Yuanjiang and I are together."

"I'm just sorry...I kept it from you before."
