146: MV release

Seeing Park Chaeyoung's indecisive manner, Xu Zhiyou simply dragged her away, "If someone doesn't like you, it won't matter even if you become as thin as a stick."

"Tch! Stop PUAing me. I've heard enough of these unrealistic bullshit remarks."

"So are you coming or not? If not, I'm leaving!"

"I'm coming! Why wouldn't I? Let's go, let's go."

Lisa watched the two of them walk out arm-in-arm without even asking her, "What about me? Aren't you going to ask about me?"

Unfortunately, no one paid her any attention. "Ya! Wait for me." As she reached the door, she didn't forget to turn back and ask Kim Ji-soo if they were coming.

As Xu Zhiyou expected, she and Kim Jennie would only be eating grass once they returned, so they didn't even bother to call them.

After seeing them leave, Lim Yoona turned to look at Bae Joo-hyun and her, but before she could ask, Bae Joo-hyun shook her head in refusal.

"Yoona Eonni, we have something to do later. Next time!"

"Got it! See you."

Kang Seul-gi gave Bae Joo-hyun a resentful glance. If she wasn't going, she wanted to! What could be so busy when the MV was only being released tonight? Honestly!

"Seulgi! Is that little expression of yours a complaint against me?"

"Aniyo! I didn't."

"You'd better not be. Let's go, we'll come again next time."

Originally, she had some things to discuss with Xu Zhiyou, but since she was back, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

Kang Seul-gi's eyes darted around. "Irene, you go first! I still have something to talk about with Jisoo."

"Remember to come back early!"

Kang Seul-gi and Kim Ji-soo were already good friends, so Bae Joo-hyun didn't suspect anything. After a quick reminder, she left.

"Finally gone!" Before Kim Ji-soo could ask what was going on, she waved at her, "Jisoo, Jennie, see you!"

Kang Seul-gi waved and ran off, leaving a bewildered Kim Ji-soo and Kim Jennie staring at each other.

"Jisoo, what's going on?"

"She probably used me as a cover! Alright, let's go check out what Zoe wrote earlier."

"None of them are good people, sigh~" She sighed and went back to her room to attend to her own matters.

While Xu Zhiyou and her friends were eating, the internet was buzzing. Her sudden appearance in the live broadcast room made fans incredibly happy.

"My You, wuwuwu! You're finally back! Now we'll have new songs to listen to again. Allow me to cry for two minutes."

"Me too. I wonder if there are any new works. After all, it's been more than half a year. It can't be that there isn't a single new song!"

"Isn't 'As If It's Your Last' a new song? We'll hear it soon. Am I confused about time?"

"I'm talking about the four songs on the EP, the kind I personally don't like dance music. More songs like 'Far Away From Home' would be great."

"Songs of that caliber, do you think they're as common as cabbage? That song is still dominating various charts in Europe and America, a clear first place!"

"The most outrageous thing is that it's still steadily in first place after more than half a year. Everyone who has heard it says it's good. This is what you call a song that lasts a lifetime."

"What do you mean, one song for a lifetime? 'Heaven' is also super good, sweeping major single charts in the Peninsula, and the other two are also dominating in the Chinese-speaking regions."

"Other people's album sales get lower the later they are released, but Zoe's get higher the later they are released. I heard the limited edition is being resold for thousands of yuan a copy, sigh!"

"The person upstairs, how old is your news? It's already over ten thousand now. My personal experience, album photo.jpg"

"@Feiyangyang, do you still have any connections? Get me one, I don't care about the price."

"I also happened to find it on a second-hand platform. This is the only one."

"Selling it? I'll pay double, no, triple."

"Don't unwrap it! I'll pay quadruple."

"It's fine if it's unwrapped, I'll also pay quadruple."

"I'm not short on money, not selling!"

Those who were quick enough sold theirs back then. Now, those who have limited edition EPs are all well-off individuals. This is the value of a limited edition.

"They're all rich people! Poor me, shivering in a corner."

"Is it really necessary for just a broken disc? As expected, they're all brain-dead fans. Can't they buy something delicious instead of this broken thing? I don't understand."

"@EveryoneIsDrunkButI'mSober, holy cow! You're amazing. It's fine if you call it a broken disc, but calling them brain-dead fans, you'd better check who's trying to buy the limited edition EP before you say such things."

"Why bother with a private account? People who are ignored in real life come online to seek excitement. There's no shortage of such idiots anywhere."

...

Walking on the road after dinner, Lim Yoona saw the comments online and looked at Xu Zhiyou, asking, "Zoe! Do you still have your limited edition EP?"

"I kept fifty copies at the time, and gave away over thirty. There should be more than ten left. Yoona Eonni, why are you asking?"

"Then do you know what price your limited edition EP is being resold for online?"

"How much?"

"Over a thousand US dollars! Tsk tsk tsk! How does that feel?"

"I'll resell the rest too. By the end of the year, I'll make a proper album with twelve songs, keep over two hundred copies, and then I can rest next year..."

The more Xu Zhiyou spoke, the more excited she became, and Kang Seul-gi's eyes grew brighter, while Lim Yoona was speechless. Park Chaeyoung and Lisa, however, were used to it.

"Sell them to me! I'll buy them all for two thousand US dollars each."

"Seulgi Unnie, I was just kidding, did you actually take it seriously?"

Xu Zhiyou was genuinely shocked this time. No wonder her teammates called her Silly Bear. Could she really have a problem with her brain?

"Ya! Then why did you speak with such enthusiasm, making me happy for nothing?" Who made Xu Zhiyou such a money-lover? It wasn't strange for her to have such thoughts.

After she finished complaining, Xu Zhiyou curiously asked her, "Why are you collecting that stuff? Didn't I give you one already?"

"I'm giving them to friends, what else would I do?"

"That won't work! I have a use for those remaining ten-plus copies. Next time you want one, remember to say so in advance. I don't have a habit of giving them away proactively."

"Then just save them for me in the future. I'll pick them up myself when I have time."

"OK!"

...

Returning to the dorm, she saw Kim Ji-soo and her staring at the computer screen. "Show Ge, how are the results?"

"Not bad! First on the real-time chart, still a bit short of first on the weekly chart. We'll know about the others in a few days. MV views are also good..."

"Alright then! I'll make time tomorrow to reshoot a few scenes. After the new MV is done, I still have some things to deal with at home."

"You just got back, why are you leaving again? You're not allowed to leave."

"Chaeyoung! Whether I'm there or not for the music show promotions, it's pretty much the same. Don't bother yourself unnecessarily, it's tiring."

"Then you're not going on variety shows either?"

"I am! Call me then. It's almost been a year since debut and I've only been on 'Weekly Idol.' It's quite embarrassing to think about."

"That's fine then!" As long as Park Chaeyoung knew she would be back soon, she was okay with it. She didn't care much about other things.

...

"So good, so good! Eight months, a whole eight months! We finally waited for the comeback. If they didn't come back, my grandson would be old enough to buy soy sauce, wuwuwu~"

"Stop it! It doesn't count if he buys soy sauce himself."

"Hahaha! I'm here to listen to the song, don't make me laugh myself to death here, you funny people."

"A dance track characterized by an addictive chorus and romantic lyrics, I really love it, it's still that same vibe."

"It's not the same vibe anymore, the MV is missing someone. I want to see the full version."

"Didn't they promise to reshoot it in a few days? Besides, this MV is also very good! I quite like it."
