13: Is Chapter 13 because of this girl?

At the same time, on the fourth floor of the mall, two women wearing masks and sunglasses looked down at the scene below and gasped softly in surprise.

"Oh my, oh my!"

One of the women said to the woman beside her, "That's f(x) down there, right? These antis are really detestable!"

The woman beside her, however, was clutching her handbag tightly, her heart in turmoil!

Busan, f(x), Choi Sulli.

So your target is this girl?

Damn it, that gentle look and those actions!

"Yejin, Yejin... what's wrong with you?"

Son Ye-jin snapped out of her thoughts, looked at Gong Hyo-jin beside her, took a slightly nervous breath, and said, "unnie, it's nothing! It's just that these antis are really too annoying!"

The two women had made plans to go shopping together this morning. In the afternoon, Son Ye-jin was busy with movie promotions.

Coming across this scene, they both watched the performance stage below.

Son Ye-jin stared intently at the man below. She had thought they really wouldn't meet again, but just a few days later, she saw this young man once more.

Liu Zijun suppressed the hostility in his heart, forced out a slight smile, turned to look at Choi Sulli, and saw her eyes reddening, lips tightly bitten, looking on the verge of tears. His anger transformed into heartache.

"It's okay! Continue your performance. Don't let these people ruin your good mood."

Liu Zijun finally reached out, gently wiping away a small splash of coffee from Sulli's cheek with his fingertip. His movements were tender, a stark contrast to the icy coldness he had shown the anti-fans moments before.

He didn't dare go too far. Choi Sulli was still a minor. Any further dating rumors wouldn't be good for her!

The fans on the scene also started cheering loudly, shouting, "It's okay! It's okay..."

Many fans also shouted, "bodyguard oppa is so handsome!"

Choi Sulli watched Liu Zijun step off the stage. Tears finally welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly held them back, refusing to let them fall.

Victoria Song steadied herself. As the leader and the big sister of the group, she indeed bore a lot of responsibility.

She picked up the microphone, led the members in apologizing to the fans below, and then started the performance again.

This time, the five girls danced even better, putting in even more effort!

Han Jaeran gave Liu Zijun a hearty pat on the shoulder and said, "Ji-Jun! Well done! Really impressive... but your suit is ruined. No good, I'll have to get the company to reimburse it when we get back!"

"It's just a suit. It's fine."

He took off the soaked suit jacket, unfazed by the cold, and continued standing at the side of the stage, watching Choi Sulli throw herself back into the performance.

The look on this girl's face was good. Unconsciously, the corner of his mouth lifted slightly.

Han Jaeran, however, said, "Ji-Jun! You'll catch a cold like this. Should I go to the car and get you one of my jackets to wear?"

Liu Zijun glanced at this Manager, then looked around, and suddenly said, "It's fine! This little chill is nothing!"

He watched Choi Sulli's glances drifting his way from time to time. After all, he had promised this girl they'd go clothes shopping together tonight!

After the girls' performance ended, the f(x) members immediately stepped down from the stage. Choi Sulli was the first to rush up to Liu Zijun. Holding a tissue, she carefully tried to wipe the coffee stain from his suit.

"Joon oppa, I'm sorry, it's all because of me..."

Her voice carried a sob and a sense of urgency.

Liu Zijun took the tissue from her and told her to stop wiping.

"Silly girl, what does this have to do with you? Don't blame yourself for everything!"

"It's just a little coffee. I'll wash it when I get back. Besides, clothes are meant to be worn. Getting dirty is part of it."

"But..."

Seol-ri wanted to say something more but was interrupted by Liu Zijun.

"Alright now, don't you start crying."

Krystal Jung suddenly said, "Joon oppa! Since we're in the mall anyway, why don't you go buy a jacket? Don't catch a cold!"

Liu Zijun looked at her, surprised that this Little Iceberg would show concern for someone.

Choi Sulli suddenly caught on and exclaimed, "Right, right! Oppa, let me buy you a jacket to wear. Don't get sick!"

With that, she started heading towards the men's clothing store upstairs.

Liu Zijun grabbed her and said, "Forget it! I'll buy it myself. You all rest for a bit. Don't you have another event to rush to after this?"

After speaking, ignoring the girls' reactions, he headed towards the third floor.

His retreating figure remained tall and straight.

"Seol-ri! Joon oppa is really good to you!"

Krystal Jung suddenly hugged Choi Sulli, saying this, which prompted nods from the other members.

On the escalator heading to the second floor, Liu Zijun saw the girls still watching him. He showed a smile and waved at them!

Arriving on the second floor, he took out his phone and dialed the encrypted number.

"Emily! I know you're definitely watching. Get me information on those two girls, and if possible, find out who's behind them!"

An electronic voice sounded: "Jayden! So your target in Seoul is this girl? Choi Sulli? She is a budding beauty, though perhaps a bit too young, no?"

Liu Zijun felt somewhat helpless. This Emily was clearly an introvert, so why was she being so gossipy now?

"Yes, she's the reason I'm staying in Seoul. But don't talk nonsense. She's just a younger sister! And you know, people like us... don't deserve..."

The electronic voice fell silent for several seconds before saying, "Although I don't know what love is, I hope you can have it."

Liu Zijun continued, "Let's not talk about that. Once you have the information on those two girls, send it to me."

Under Han Jaeran's organization, the girls also began signing autographs and taking photos with fans.

The life of an entertainer in The Peninsula is much harsher than that of celebrities in China. Everything depends on popularity, so fan service must be impeccable.

"Seol-ri unnie! What's the name of that bodyguard oppa from earlier? He's really so handsome!"

A girl of about sixteen or seventeen, holding Choi Sulli's autograph, suddenly asked nervously.

Choi Sulli was taken aback, then smiled and said, "That's our company's bodyguard oppa! His name is his private information, so it's not convenient to tell you. But I also think he's really handsome! I was about to cry earlier!"

Seeing the smile on Choi Sulli's face, the little girl suddenly said, "unnie! You're really so beautiful. Keep smiling like this always. We MeU will always support you all."

Choi Sulli quickly stood up and gave her a hug, expressing her thanks.

She couldn't help but glance back once more, feeling deeply fortunate!

Choi Soo-myung had inexplicably gone into the military. She heard he wasn't even in the country.

Then, he was inexplicably involved in a car accident, which made her feel as if her world had collapsed. And now, suddenly, Liu Zijun had appeared.

She was a girl who was extremely insecure and prone to feelings of inferiority.

Fortunately, this person had appeared.

The way everything had happened felt so unreal.

Thinking back to that terrifying phone call and the tacit approval of the company's higher-ups, her heart sank to the bottom once again!
