98: Nanny You

Kim Ji-soo woke up too early this morning and had used so many brain cells, so now she just wanted to lie down properly.

“Lower your voice, let go quickly, be careful or Jisoo will hit you.”

Xu Zhiyou let go, stopped bickering with Kim Jennie, and went to think about her solo.

Whether to gather a few more songs and directly make an EP, or just release one song like this, she needed to ponder this carefully.

She thought about it the whole way but couldn't come up with a clear answer.

...

While they were shooting the magazine, many artists were also discussing Xu Zhiyou's solo.

“Taeyeon Eonni, you said they dominated November, and now they’re not even letting go of December, it’s a bit insane!”

Lim Yoona had never seen a rookie with such fierce momentum; their plays breaking a hundred million at the drop of a hat made her feel like they were already old.

“I just want to hear the full version now, but I still have to wait several days, it’s annoying!” Kim Taeyeon wanted to ask her for the original track to listen to.

But reason told her that doing so would definitely not work; they were all people in the industry, and she knew these rules.

“Her singing is indeed very good, and the song is also great, but those comments don’t seem to be very favorable to her.” Lee Sun-kyu was also following Xu Zhiyou’s solo.

“Sunny Eonni, do you think it could be…?” She gave her a knowing look to let her figure it out.

“Yah! Alligator Yoona, what do you mean by that look?” Lee Sun-kyu was annoyed by her shifty little eyes.

“It’s exactly what you’re thinking!”

“I’m not thinking anything, Alligator Yoona, I warn you, don’t make me fix you.” Lee Sun-kyu was really fed up; she hadn’t enjoyed much of Lee Soo-man’s convenience.

She was constantly made fun of by them, and of course, she knew there was no malice, but it still made her very angry.

The angrier she got, the more her members loved to tease her, forming a perfect closed loop.

“Tsk, you’re getting worked up!”

If this continued, in at most a year, Red Velvet would be rubbed into the ground by BLACKPINK; given Lee Soo-man’s nature, he would really hire internet trolls.

“Yah!”

Choi Sooyoung also laughed as she looked at Lee Sun-kyu and said, “It’s really possible. Other comments are fine, but those telling her to leave the group, well, haha?”

“Poisonous Choi, try looking at me like that again.”

“Stop, what’s the fuss? This won’t have much impact on her; a good song can overcome it.” Kim Taeyeon didn’t think Xu Zhiyou would be affected by such dirty tricks.

“Taeyeon Eonni, we’re not talking about whether the song is good or not, but rather, ahem~”

“Alligator Yoona, even if it is, what does that have to do with me? Why are you being sarcastic to me? Do you believe I’ll rip you apart?”

Lim Yoona looked at Choi Sooyoung, puzzled, and asked, “Was I, Poisonous Choi?”

“I don’t think so!” Choi Sooyoung shook her head and shrugged.

“Yoona Eonni, you guys are a bit much, always joking with Sunny Eonni about this.” Seohyun couldn’t stand it; it was her uncle’s business, what did it have to do with her?

“Oh my, Seohyun, is your skin itching, huh?”

“No, it’s not!” When her alligator mouth opened, nothing good ever came out.

“Hehe~”

“Yoona Eu…”

...

“Right, right, this is the strength she should have!” Minnie had finally seen Xu Zhiyou at full power and was sitting, waiting for her solo.

She used to have no hobbies, and her phone was optional, but now that she had a hobby, she would secretly hide one from time to time.

She was definitely going to debut; her family background was there; the little princess of Thailand wasn’t just talk.

“Aren’t you afraid of being discovered? You’re getting a bit too confident.” Song Yuqi didn’t expect Minnie to be so bold, secretly hiding a phone; she would definitely be in big trouble if caught.

“It’s fine! CUBE won’t fire me. I just find it troublesome, otherwise, I’d dare to use it openly.”

“Hehe! What I hate most in my life are you second-generation rich kids.”

Minnie glanced at her and said, “Except for those you’re good friends with, right?”

“How did you know? It has to be you! Come here and give your Grandpa Song a kiss.” She pecked Minnie’s forehead.

“Didn’t you say your Old Song family was counting on you? You’re bent by me just like that? That won’t do!”

“I’m doing it for the phone’s sake. Put on your headphones and watch, don’t be so arrogant.” Although Song Yuqi also had some family wealth, she wasn’t arrogant to this extent.

“Tsk tsk tsk, her piano skills are obviously very solid, I’m envious.” Song Yuqi looked at Xu Zhiyou quietly playing the piano and truly fell deeply in love.

“Hehe! Then why don’t you focus on her fingerwork? You’re drooling over her face and then telling me her piano is good?”

Minnie felt that Song Yuqi, this person, was really like her voice, especially like a boy. It was better when they first met, but unfortunately, they couldn't go back.

“These are minor details. She’s starting to sing; she’s got me hooked from the first note.”

“Rainie, do you really not know her? You were in high school together; is there any chance you could get to know each other?”

“We’ll get to know each other after debut. If we don’t debut, then let’s not get to know each other. We’re not in the same circle; it’s fine to admire from afar.”

“What if she’s not in this circle after we debut? With her strength, it wouldn’t take long for her to become a superstar, right?”

“The gap is even bigger now. She has over twenty million Instagram followers; do you think that’s a small number?”

“Finishing an ordinary idol’s entire career in three months of debut, why does it feel a bit heartbreaking, boohoo~”

“She has the configuration of a sports car; don’t compare yourself to her. People really can’t be compared to each other, just like you make my eyes green with envy.”

“I…” Minnie always felt that Song Yuqi was mocking her, but she had no evidence.

“Right! Let’s listen to the song first.”

“Alright!”

...

After finishing promotions and returning in the evening, she immediately collapsed, not physically tired, but mainly mentally exhausted.

Park Chaeyoung remembered Xu Zhiyou’s massage technique, ran in front of her, and lay down, saying, “Rub my shoulders for me; they’re so sore.”

Xu Zhiyou looked at her smooth movements, truly treating herself as a masseuse. She slapped her on the butt, then changed positions and continued to lie down.

Before debut, they had promised to massage her shoulders and back, but it hadn’t happened, and now she even wanted a reversal. Women’s words really couldn’t be trusted.

Park Chaeyoung smoothly lay down beside her again, “That last hit was just interest; my shoulder hurts a bit, help me rub it.”

“Chaeyoung, you said you guys would rub me; what does this mean now?”

“That slap on my butt was the interest, hurry up!”

“Your butt is truly precious.” After saying that, she started rubbing her. Perhaps it was too comfortable, and she fell asleep while being rubbed.

“Sigh! How did I become a nanny? This isn’t the life I wanted.”

She carefully carried her to the bed. She didn’t feel tired, but these four with their weak physical fitness were probably exhausted.

Lisa looked on enviously, wondering why only Park Chaeyoung got to enjoy it, “I want it too; my shoulders are also very sore, help me rub them.”
