212: Just open your mouth

Park Chaeyoung remembered her swollen face and went forward to grab her sleeve.

"Zoe, can you go tell the director to cut out my ugly photo? Please, I'm begging you."

"Powerless." After saying that, she lay back down. Xu Zhiyou used to care about her image when she first debuted.

Now, she's completely given up, resigned to her fate, because her goofy girl image is deeply ingrained in people's hearts.

Park Chaeyoung pulled her up: "No, if you don't help me..." She pointed at her bed, "I'll smash my head against your bed and die."

Xu Zhiyou pushed her away, lifted a corner of the bed, and looked at Park Chaeyoung: "Come, hit this right angle, remember to use some force."

"Aigoo, Chaeyoung, you've turned into a chipmunk." Lisa looked at Park Chaeyoung's puffed-up cheeks and couldn't help but pinch them.

"Yah!"

She kicked her butt: "Don't provoke me, I'm very annoyed right now."

"You have the guts to kick Zoe, but you blame me instead."

Lisa thought about it; she didn't have any embarrassing moments. After a moment of surprise, there was nothing else.

Xu Zhiyou grabbed a pillow and threw it at her: "Kick your big head, Lalisa, I think you want to hit it too."

"Aniyo, I..."

"Enough." Xu Zhiyou rubbed her messy hair: "Are Show Ge and Dumpling Ni awake yet?"

"They are."

Xu Zhiyou had completely lost her sleepiness. She looked at the time: "It's only seven-thirty. I've never woken up this early. What a sin."

"Is this the time to be talking about that? Go find the director..."

"Hold it." Xu Zhiyou covered Park Chaeyoung's mouth and dragged her out.

"Come on, you've even talked about pooping and washing your face on the show, why do you care about this stuff?"

"Mmm mmm..."

Bad memories instantly flooded Park Chaeyoung's mind. She glared at Xu Zhiyou, making muffled sounds.

Slap~

She slapped her on the butt: "Stop that look. If you glare again, I'll dig them out and stomp on them like light bulbs."

Park Chaeyoung gave up resisting. Digging out her eyeballs was unlikely, but getting a few more slaps on her butt was definitely going to happen.

Xu Zhiyou saw her swollen face: "Why do you look so tired? Did you go stealing?"

Park Chaeyoung rolled her eyes, removing the hand that covered her mouth: "You're the one stealing. I was researching songs."

"Sick!" Xu Zhiyou was speechless.

Seeing her half-dead appearance, she raised her hand and began to rub the intersection of her head's midline and the line connecting the tips of her ears.

"Ah! Lighter, lighter, it hurts."

"Bear with it, it'll be fine in a moment." After rubbing for about two minutes, the feeling of fatigue visibly receded.

"Oh my, my mind is so much clearer, amazing!" It was painful yet happy.

Kim Ji-soo heard the sound and walked out of the bathroom, toothbrush in her mouth: "Massaging so early in the morning? Are you that idle?"

"Ask her, she was singing all night instead of sleeping."

Kim Ji-soo heard the reason: "I thought it was a big deal. It's not surprising for Chaeyoung to do something like this."

She looked at the time: "It's already seven-thirty. Hurry and wash up. After makeup, we still need to go to the company to see President Nim."

Xu Zhiyou placed her hand on the Sishencong acupoint: "Now you press this spot yourself, use a little force."

"OK!"

Park Chaeyoung sat on the sofa, quietly pressing: "Tsk tsk tsk, those who practice martial arts are indeed doctors, amazing."

She rubbed for a bit, then went to get an ice pack for her face. Lisa saw her and gave her some chilled cucumber slices.

"I've seen Zoe do this before. You can try it and see how it works."

"Does Zoe's face also swell?" Park Chaeyoung had never seen her face swollen in the morning.

"She always applies this after being beaten by her Unnie. I've seen it several times."

"Oh~" Park Chaeyoung suddenly understood.

She took the chilled cucumber slices from her hand and placed them on her face: "It's so cool and comfortable."

By the time they were ready to leave, it was exactly eight-thirty. Kim Ji-soo glanced at the camera.

She looked at Xu Zhiyou and asked curiously: "Zoe, why didn't Leah Unnie tell us about the camera?"

"Maybe she was too busy and forgot."

Xu Zhiyou was going to release a regular album, and the four members of BP were going solo. She had to be responsible for all the promotions and publicity, so she was incredibly busy.

Park Chaeyoung heard this and looked at Kim Ji-soo with a puzzled expression: "Jisoo, so you also knew about the camera?"

Kim Jennie looked at her in surprise: "Chaeyoung, the blinking red light was so obvious, didn't you see it?"

"Uh???"

Park Chaeyoung wanted to say that her attention was completely on the song, and she hadn't noticed at all.

Park Chaeyoung didn't answer, instead looking at Lisa: "I didn't notice, why didn't you notice either?"

"If you know it's embarrassing, then shut up. Why so many questions? Is this 'One Hundred Thousand Whys'? I'm fed up!"

"Yah!"

"Let's go, let's go, we're going to be late." Kim Ji-soo grabbed one with each hand and started running.

She looked back at Xu Zhiyou and the other one: "Hurry up and follow, we need to arrive early."

Xu Zhiyou put her arm around Kim Jennie's neck: "We'll wait at the parking lot exit."

"Me too... Ouch..." Lisa didn't finish speaking, as Kim Ji-soo forcibly dragged her away, "Why are you trying to join in on the fun?"

"Why can those two slack off, but I can't?"

"One of them is a patient, and the other is the leader. Who do you think you are? Hurry up."

"Uh???"

Park Chaeyoung saw Lisa being put in her place and teased: "Aigoo, isn't that just heartbreaking?"

"Hmph~"

They arrived at YG exactly at nine o'clock. Kim Ji-soo glanced at the conference room, seeing only staff and a few cameras.

She didn't see Yang Hyun-suk, and patted her chest in relief: "Luckily, President Nim isn't here yet."

"I haven't had breakfast yet. You all sit down, I'll go to the cafeteria..."

"Eat what?" Kim Ji-soo quickly grabbed her, "Go after we see President Nim."

"I..."

Bang~

The door suddenly opened, and Yang Hyun-suk walked in with a stack of documents. The four of them, including Kim Ji-soo, quickly bowed and greeted him.

"President Nim!"

The several camera PDs behind him followed suit and shouted. Yang Hyun-suk waved his hand casually: "Sit down."

Yang Hyun-suk's arrival completely crushed Xu Zhiyou's idea of sneaking off to the cafeteria.

"Sigh~"

Kim Ji-soo heard the sigh and kicked her heel, signaling her not to cause trouble. She was really afraid of her.

Yang Hyun-suk handed the document to Xu Zhiyou: "Zoe, this is the plan for your group's reality show."

"Although the plan is written that way, you can use your own discretion for the specific implementation."

Yang Hyun-suk knew that he couldn't restrict Xu Zhiyou too much. If he let her play to her strengths, she might even turn the group reality show into a phenomenon-level variety show.

Xu Zhiyou quickly glanced at it. The budget was quite generous, so it seemed she could have some fun.

"President Nim, Kamsahamnida~"

Yang Hyun-suk waved his hand: "If you really want to thank me, then help the company's other groups..."

"President Nim, I forgot to tell you, CL, Dara, and I are planning to release a collaboration song."

"The song is already being created. Remember to have the company's publicity department help promote it."

Xu Zhiyou immediately used her distraction technique. She was also fed up with him constantly thinking about her little bits and pieces.

"Collaboration song? Where's the song? Let me see." Yang Hyun-suk's attention was indeed diverted.

"Only the lyrics have been written, the music hasn't been composed yet. I've hit a bit of a bottleneck. If you want to see it, I can write it out."

Kim Ji-soo bit her lower lip hard, afraid she wouldn't be able to hold back her laughter.

Lisa and Park Chaeyoung lowered their heads, picking at their fingernails, trying to divert their attention.

Kim Jennie pretended to yawn, raising her hand to cover her mouth, almost suffocating her old self.

"Really? You're not lying to me?" Yang Hyun-suk had been tricked by her once, so he was skeptical of Xu Zhiyou's words.
