288: Choi Sulli

Kim Jennie ignored her, bent down to pull Kim Ji-soo, but found she couldn't budge her, and turned back to look at Park Chaeyoung: "Give me a hand!"

Park Chaeyoung was very depressed and asked in a muffled voice: "What for?"

Kim Jennie rolled her eyes and said speechlessly: "To throw her in a pot and boil her!"

"Uh???"

Slap~

Seeing her shocked little expression, Kim Jennie couldn't help but slap her own forehead.

"How can there be such an idiot in this world? Seriously... I give up, sigh!"

"Pfft~" Lisa, who was lurking at the doorway watching the show, couldn't help but make a sound.

This silly girl easily gets muddled whenever she encounters Xu Zhiyou; she can even take such nonsense seriously, you really have to hand it to her.

Hearing the stifled laughter, Park Chaeyoung glared at her unkindly and gritted her teeth: "Is it that funny?"

"Aniyo, it's not funny, not funny at all, hahaha~" She waved her hands while giggling foolishly, determined to annoy her to death.

"Yah!"

Seeing the two of them bickering, Kim Jennie said speechlessly: "Are you two crazy?"

"Jisoo has to go to Inkigayo to be an MC this afternoon. If she gets sick, are you going to take her place?"

Hearing about being an MC, the two immediately shut up and obediently went over to help.

In the Cosmic Girls dormitory, the members surrounded Cheng Xiao and Eunhee, who were reeking of alcohol, staring at each other with wide eyes.

"Does anyone know what they were doing last night?" EXY, as the leader, couldn't stand the silence and spoke up first.

Qiu Shaozhen was going crazy. Knowing clearly that the company forbids drinking, these two were still lying here drunk. This was making things difficult for her as the leader, it was heartbreaking.

Wu Xuanyi got the leader's helplessness and chimed in: "The pressure is too great, relieving stress or something should be understandable, right."

Seeing no one else speaking, Bona took over the conversation: "They didn't stay out all night, and they didn't miss work, so let it go."

Wu Xuanyi raised an eyebrow and quickly agreed: "Jiyeon is right, they greeted us when they left last night."

Seeing an out, Qiu Shaozhen interrupted Wu Xuanyi: "Jiyeon, go make some hangover soup."

"Nae!" Bona responded and walked out.

Qiu Shaozhen sighed, looked at the other members, and said seriously: "Making a big deal out of this small matter to the company won't do any of us any good, let's just leave it at that, OK?"

"Nae!" The others responded in unison.

Since the leader had spoken, they could only obey. Besides, Cheng Xiao is the top member of Cosmic Girls; there was no need to offend her.

In the BP dorm, Park Chaeyoung sighed endlessly while looking at the message Lee Ji-eun sent on her phone.

Seeing her drooping face, Kim Jennie put down her milk cup and looked at her in confusion: "Chaeyoung, what's wrong with you?"

Park Chaeyoung showed her the group chat with Lee Ji-eun: "Zoe isn't here, what should I do?"

After reading it, and thinking about her own suspended schedule, Kim Jennie got angry seeing her acting all miserable about releasing a collaboration song.

Looking at her, she gritted her teeth: "Lisa is right, without Zoe, you really would die."

"Uh???"

Lisa also expressed disdain: "It's just recording a song, right? You have to call her for this? You're supposed to be a main vocalist, how embarrassing."

"Yah!"

Without waiting for her to explode, Kim Jennie said dismissively: "Get lost."

"I..."

"I what? You need Zoe to hold your hand for such a trivial matter? What will you do when you reach your solo development period? Hurry up and get lost, do your own things yourself."

"Jennie-oni is right, hurry up and go." Lisa quickly agreed with her second sister; seeing Park Chaeyoung getting shut down, she felt very happy.

"Sigh~" Park Chaeyoung sighed, and could only change her clothes and set off alone.

Seeing the lonely expression on Park Chaeyoung's face before she left, Lisa couldn't help but look at Kim Jennie: "Oni, aren't we being too harsh?"

"You're telling me, someone whose schedule is suspended, that it's harsh for her to release a collaboration song? Lalisa, are you serious?"

"Uh???"

Lisa felt her immense resentment and felt it was better to just shut up.

By the time Xu Zhiyou woke up, it was already dark. She scratched her messy hair and came to the living room, where only Kim Jennie was watching TV.

She grabbed the mineral water bottle on the table, took a few gulps, and then looked at Kim Jennie: "Where are they?"

Kim Jennie didn't even turn her head: "Jisoo went to continue being her MC, Chaeyoung went to record the collaboration song, and Lisa is sleeping in her room."

"Have you eaten?"

Hearing about eating, Kim Jennie turned to look at her: "Aren't I waiting for you? Sleeping until seven or eight, you're really something."

Xu Zhiyou noticed the resentment in her eyes: "What's with that? It's just sleeping, is it that big of a deal?"

"Why didn't you call me when you and Jisoo were drinking last night?"

Xu Zhiyou's mouth twitched, and she said speechlessly: "Look at your weak little frame, and you still have the nerve to say that? Boring."

"Yah!"

"Stop." Xu Zhiyou interrupted her spellcasting, "Go call Lisa, we're going to find Yoona Eonni."

Kim Jennie paused, confused: "What for?"

Xu Zhiyou said helplessly: "To settle the debt I promised her a few days ago."

"What debt?"

"You'll know when we get there."

"Fine." Kim Jennie didn't ask further, put on her shoes, and went to Lisa's room to wake her up.

Lim Yoona was also heartbroken over Choi Sulli's situation and even dragged Kim Taeyeon, who was busy with her schedule, over.

At Lim Yoona's apartment, Choi Sulli couldn't help but ask out of curiosity: "Eonni, why did you call me here?"

"To find someone to talk to you." Lim Yoona said straightforwardly.

"Huh???" Choi Sulli had a completely confused expression.

Kim Taeyeon also knew her younger sister had a problem, and said: "Just wait, you and her should have something to talk about."

"Nae!"

Even though Choi Sulli was very resistant, she knew these two meant well, so she chose to accept it.

Lim Yoona and Kim Taeyeon looked at each other and shook their heads.

This younger sister suddenly announced her withdrawal from the FX group without even saying a word, making her four members furious.

She looked obedient and well-behaved on the outside, but was actually incredibly rebellious and couldn't listen to a word they said.

Helpless, they could only seek help from the omnipotent Xu Zhiyou, hoping she could change her perspective.

Not long after, the three of them, Xu Zhiyou, arrived at the apartment.

Just as Lim Yoona was about to introduce them, Xu Zhiyou raised her hand to stop her: "Yoona Eonni, no need, we already know each other."

"Huh???"

Lim Yoona and Kim Taeyeon both looked at Choi Sulli.

Choi Sulli was also stunned. When did she know Xu Zhiyou? She didn't even know it herself, and she looked back with a face full of confusion.

Xu Zhiyou just found it amusing. She did know Choi Sulli, but only from her funeral's grayscale portrait.

And a bunch of short videos that suddenly commemorated her after she passed away. She found it extremely ironic at the time, so the impression was a bit deep.

She thought that, but she couldn't actually say it, so she said: "Jinri-oni has debuted for so many years after all, it's not strange that I know her."

Several people, including Kim Jennie, all looked at her speechlessly. What kind of nonsense was that? What kind of knowing each other was that? Seriously speechless.
