110: Zhao Meiyan

Song Yuqi, on the other hand, didn't mind. Everyone else was in pairs or groups of three, and she was all alone, which indeed looked a bit pitiful.

"The YG style is so strong. What if she ignores me? I heard YG artists are all very cold."

"Where did you hear all of this?" Minnie was skeptical of Song Yuqi's intelligence-gathering abilities.

Song Yuqi stared at her after hearing that. "Then why don't you go?"

"I'm shy. Otherwise, why would I rely on you?"

"Yah! I'm telling you, talking like that will get you beaten," Song Yuqi now really wanted to punch her to death.

She was indirectly calling her thick-skinned, and no Miss would be happy to hear that.

"The album, hehe, she definitely knows BLACKPINK's members. Even if she doesn't, she has friends, right?"

"Making friends with an ulterior motive, that's definitely you, Minnie."

Minnie was too lazy to argue with her further and said directly, "I'll give you free leg massages to relax your muscles in the future. Is that good enough?"

"Why didn't you just say that earlier? You argued with me for ages." She tossed Minnie's foot aside and walked over.

Minnie puffed out her cheeks and glared at Song Yuqi's retreating back, muttering, "She won't act without seeing a benefit first. Bah!"

After venting, she scurried to catch up with her.

Cho Mi-yeon also saw Song Yuqi coming straight towards her. Why was she so sure? Because she was the only one in this corner.

"Annyeonghaseyo!"

"Annyeonghaseyo!" Cho Mi-yeon responded to Song Yuqi in a dazed manner, who seemed very familiar.

"My name is Song Yuqi, born in '99, from China. It's nice to meet you..." She began to chat cheerfully with Cho Mi-yeon.

Initially, she was after Minnie's free massage, but after interacting with Cho Mi-yeon, she felt that she was more than just her looks; she was cute and quite fun.

Cho Mi-yeon tucked her hair behind her ears and bowed, saying, "My name is Cho Mi-yeon, born in '97, from the Peninsula. It's nice to meet you too."

Song Yuqi was even more certain: stripping away that YG vibe, she was definitely a sweet girl. As expected, first impressions can be misleading.

"You're so cute!"

"Huh???" Cho Mi-yeon hadn't expected someone to describe her as cute and didn't react for a moment.

Song Yuqi thought, this naive look is even cuter.

Minnie was very displeased to see Song Yuqi busy teasing the Miss, so she pinched her lower back.

Song Yuqi then remembered the main task, pulled Minnie over, and said, "Her name is Minnie, from Thailand, also '97. What month were you again?"

"I'm January!"

Cho Mi-yeon was very happy inside; finally, someone was talking to her, so she answered quickly, not caring about the so-called honorifics.

"Then she's October. From now on, we'll call you Meiyan Ouni. Is that okay?"

"Of course!"

...

After some communication and interaction, Cho Mi-yeon also began to unleash her 'E' personality, and they quickly became familiar.

Cho Mi-yeon initially took the initiative to chat with people, but after being rejected several times, she became a bit intimidated, otherwise, it wouldn't have been like this.

Only a fool is not envied; coming from YG and being so good-looking, she was definitely a contestant with both looks and skill.

For such a strong contestant, it was already good enough if they didn't try to trip her up; who would befriend her?

Minnie asked curiously, "Who are you sharing a dorm with?"

"Jeon Soyeon, ..."

After hearing that, both of them felt sorry for her. In her dorm, besides Jeon Soyeon, everyone else was like a robot, completely emotionless. No wonder she was so pitiful.

"Ah! You'll be fine when Jeon Soyeon comes back in a few days," Minnie comforted her.

"Jeon Soyeon?"

"Oh! That's another name for Jeon Soyeon. We all call her Jeon Soyeon. You can call her that too. She's a very nice person. She's currently participating in 'Unpretty Rapstar'."

"Really? Will she find me annoying? Several people at YG used to say I talked too much and had ADHD. She won't dislike me, will she?"

"Uh! Probably, maybe, most likely, not!" Minnie recalled Jeon Soyeon's quiet personality.

"Definitely not. She's a super ACE, but she's so busy with various shows that we don't get much chance to talk to her properly."

Song Yuqi admired Jeon Soyeon's resilience; she got stronger with every setback and also understood songwriting. Anyway, she really admired her.

Seeing Song Yuqi praise Jeon Soyeon so highly, Cho Mi-yeon asked curiously, "Are you very close to her?"

"Ah! We'd like to be, but she's so busy! We chat when we meet; we're acquaintances, but not that close. Friends, I guess."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. You'll be with us from now on. If Jeon Soyeon comes back, we'll just tell her."

Cho Mi-yeon wasn't that concerned; being able to get to know Song Yuqi and Minnie was enough for her. She wasn't that greedy.

When the conversation seemed to be winding down, Minnie still couldn't hold back and asked, "Meiyan Ouni, did you know Zoe when you were at YG?"

"I left YG in 2015, Zoe hadn't come yet. Uh, also, after I left YG, I studied at a music academy for a year and met a CUBE scout, so I came here."

She explained the situation in a few sentences.

Minnie felt it was a pity after hearing that. "Meiyan Ouni, don't misunderstand, I just wanted a deluxe edition EP."

"I do know the other four!" She had said goodbye to them when she left; it wasn't like they were completely out of touch.

"Really? Then can you introduce Rainie to them?"

Song Yuqi's jaw almost dropped to the floor. What was this girl thinking about all day? There's no one like that.

Not just her, even Cho Mi-yeon's brain almost short-circuited.

"Uh, Rainie and Zoe are from the same hometown, even the same city. You know she's a bit thick-skinned, uh, no, I mean, she has strong social skills."

Seeing Song Yuqi's murderous glare, she quickly changed her wording.

"Hahaha! The four of them have great personalities, especially Jisoo, and your compatriot Lalisa, she's a mischievous bundle of joy. No need to worry."

"Are you very familiar with the four of them?"

"We're in the same dorm, so of course, we're very familiar. I'll introduce you to them if there's a chance." She didn't think Kim Ji-soo and the others would ignore her after their debut.

"Alright, it's settled then." Minnie skipped the topic. If this one didn't work, then the next one. She would get it eventually.

...

Minnie wasn't the only one planning to get her limited edition EP. Over here, Red Velvet's Kang Seul-gi was also urging Bae Joo-hyun to get it for her.

Bae Joo-hyun wasn't in a hurry. Xu Zhiyou had said that she would always save a limited edition for her whenever she released an album. Nothing else, this was the treatment a goddess should receive.

She wasn't in a hurry, but Kang Seul-gi was. She had asked Kim Ji-soo for it, but where would Kim Ji-soo find one for her? She only had one herself.
