293: Chapter 193 A Trip to the Zoo

"Kiddo, stop with the 'cutting and editing.' What's the deal with your comeback? Give me a timeframe so I can pick... er, no, write a song, haha!"

Xu Zhiyou realized she had slipped up and quickly changed her words, but if she hadn't, no one might have even noticed.

Unsurprisingly, Park Chaeyoung and the other two who knew her well all rolled their eyes at her simultaneously.

They all complained in their hearts: "What kind of person is she? Seriously, we told her our psychological endurance is strong. Speechless!"

"What? You three, don't stare at me like that, I'll get shy." Xu Zhiyou cupped her cheeks and pretended to be bashful.

Park Chaeyoung looked at her act and felt only disgust: "Can you stop rubbing our IQ into the ground?"

"Besides, our psychological endurance really isn't that weak, okay!"

"And another thing," Kim Jennie took over, "It's not that I'm picking on you, but every time we need a certain style of song, you always happen to have one in your library."

"Just say it's written on the spot, so what? We've long been used to being hit by your talent; we really won't lose our balance. You can rest assured about that."

She finished with an OK gesture and gave her a confident little look.

"Jennie-oni is right, I also..."

"Lisa, stop with the 'also' for a moment."

Xu Zhiyou raised her hand to interrupt her, smacked Kim Jennie on the head, and then casually pushed her over to Park Chaeyoung's side to keep her company.

"You overthinker, go play somewhere else."

Even though she was the second oldest, she was pushed around like that without any face being saved. It was infuriating!

"Ya~!"

"Jennie, wait a second." Park Jiyeon quickly stopped her. This was about their comeback; they couldn't be careless.

Kim Jennie went to the side pouting and sulking, making Lisa and Park Chaeyoung giggle behind their hands.

Park Jiyeon didn't care about her and slid over to Xu Zhiyou, grabbing her hand.

Excitedly, she said: "Wooo! Zoe, you finally remembered our comeback, wooo~!"

Xu Zhiyou looked at her fake crying and said with disgust: "Kiddo, are you sure I forgot, and not that you guys didn't mention it?"

"Uh???"

Park Jiyeon thought about it and realized it was true. Her expression returned to normal instantly, and she withdrew her hand.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Ji-yeon, it had to be you!" Lee Ji-eun commented as if she was meeting Park Jiyeon for the first time.

Park Jiyeon followed Xu Zhiyou's move and gave Lee Ji-eun's big head a smack: "You go over there and cool off too."

After that, she looked at Xu Zhiyou, stopped playing around, and said seriously: "We've already discussed it; you decide."

"No suggestions at all?"

"None."

Park Jiyeon wasn't crazy. Xu Zhiyou's tracks had all been hits since her debut. Listening to her was definitely the right choice.

Seeing her firm expression, Xu Zhiyou nodded: "That's fine then, saves trouble. I'll send it to you within a week."

"Whenever it's convenient for you." Park Jiyeon made an OK gesture and agreed decisively.

Lee Ji-eun, who watched the whole thing, was speechless.

She sighed inwardly: "As expected, birds of a feather flock together. No wonder they get along so well. Speechless!"

...

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day, 10 AM, at the zoo entrance.

Lim Yoona grew impatient and dialed Xu Zhiyou's number.

Xu Zhiyou, still lying on her Simmons bed, felt extremely guilty when she saw it was Lim Yoona calling.

No matter how much she didn't want to answer, she had to. She cleared her throat and answered in her most gentle voice.

"Yeoboseyo, dear Yoona Eonni, I was stuck to the sheets. It took me two hours to pull myself away. I've been working hard..."

Lim Yoona rolled her eyes. It was the same excuse again. She was used to it. She rubbed her brow, calm but speechless.

She asked cheerfully: "Then when can you arrive, my dear beautiful Zoe?"

Only Xu Zhiyou could describe oversleeping in such a refined and unconventional way.

"I'm almost there, but there's some traffic. Please understand, dear little Yoona Eonni..."

Xu Zhiyou's attitude was very mild and her tone was cloying, making Lim Yoona feel quite comfortable.

Besides, she already knew Xu Zhiyou's character, so Lim Yoona wasn't really angry.

Lim Yoona said with a smile: "You've worked so hard. I'm flattered that you'd make time for me amidst your busy schedule!"

To Xu Zhiyou, this sounded mostly like sarcasm. It made her blush rarely, and she quickly got up to get ready.

Not long after, she arrived at the zoo entrance.

"Yoona Eonni, I'm here!" Xu Zhiyou started waving from afar, focusing on providing emotional value.

Squatting in a small corner, Lim Yoona felt speechless seeing the curious and inquisitive looks from the surrounding crowd.

The zoo was already crowded, and that shout completely exposed her. It was simply brainless.

"Yoona? The one squatting over there is Yoona..."

As the visual of Girls' Generation, Lim Yoona's status was quite high. There wasn't a single person in the Peninsula who didn't recognize her, and they all flocked toward her.

What could Lim Yoona do? She could only start signing autographs with a smile, but her gaze toward Xu Zhiyou was anything but friendly.

Not far away, Xu Zhiyou watched this scene and felt it was surreal. She muttered to herself: "Oh my, I'm definitely going to be resented now. I'm doomed!"

Beside her, Kim Ji-soo saw her dazing and gave her a poke on the back of the head.

"Ya~!"

"Show Ge, try hitting me again, and I guarantee I won't kill you."

Kim Ji-soo wasn't intimidated at all and pointed toward Lim Yoona: "You're the one who invited her. Are you just going to watch?"

"I...!?" Suddenly, Xu Zhiyou had nothing to say.

To the side, Park Chaeyoung, Kim Jennie, and the other two were impressed by their eldest sister's move.

Regardless, as long as they could make Xu Zhiyou suffer, it was great in their hearts and had to be supported.

Xu Zhiyou didn't understand their thoughts, nor did she care. She bolted straight into the zoo.

Adhering to the principle of "staying away from things that don't concern me, and pushing away things that do," she ran first.

Park Chaeyoung watched Xu Zhiyou sprinting away and sighed: "Tsk tsk, as expected, she's still the Zoe I know, not a single bit of change."

Kim Jennie noticed more and more people gathering around and urged: "Let's catch up, stop sighing."

After saying that, she quickly followed.

"Jisoo, we..."

Before Park Chaeyoung could finish, Kim Ji-soo was the second to zip after her, leaving Park Chaeyoung speechless.

Despite her internal complaints, she had to slip away too. Without waiting for Lisa to speak, she zipped after them.

Lisa and the surrounded Lim Yoona looked at each other. What kind of people were these? None of them had any loyalty.

This scene was also posted online by a passerby.

"Hahaha, our Zoe is still as wicked as ever. This is hilarious, wahahaha~!"
