39: Chapter 39 The Battle of Ideal Types

Im Yoona sat on Liu Zijun's right side; she wasn't as clingy as Choi Sulli, but she always looked after him in the smallest details.

For example, if his water glass was empty, she would silently refill it with warm water for him.

If he wanted to reach for green vegetables further away, she would rotate the plate in front of him beforehand.

Even if he accidentally dropped a tissue, she would be the first to bend down and pick it up.

These small actions were very subtle, and no one else at the table noticed; only Liu Zijun saw them.

He glanced sideways at Im Yoona and found her peeling shrimp with her head down; the peeled shrimp were placed on a plate, and she seemed to be hesitating whether to hand them to him.

Liu Zijun said softly, "Im Yoona, you don't have to do this."

Im Yoona's hands suddenly paused; when she looked up, her cheeks were slightly flushed, and she hurriedly placed the peeled shrimp onto his plate, pretending to be calm as she said, "It's nothing, just thank you for saving me."

Many of the girls had drunk some alcohol, making the atmosphere even more lively.

Liu Zijun wanted to have a couple of drinks, but he was rejected by all fourteen women.

Then he was even sternly lectured and educated by Choi Sulli.

Lee Soon-kyu Sunny's eyes suddenly flickered, and she acted spoiled in a delicate voice, "Joon oppa, with so many beauties surrounding you, tell us, who is the prettiest here?"

The atmosphere suddenly went quiet; was this little one trying to stir up trouble?

Under the table, Im Yoona couldn't help but clench her fist tightly.

Without even considering it, Liu Zijun said directly:

"Of course it's our Jin-ri!"

Choi Sulli's expectant little eyes got the answer she wanted, and she instantly burst into a loud, honking laugh, wishing she could give Liu Zijun a kiss.

She lightly held Liu Zijun's shoulder and said, "Oppa, saranghae! I also think oppa is the most handsome."

Everyone instantly felt it was boring!

Sunny was very dissatisfied and immediately said, "No! Sulli doesn't count; she's your sister, so of course you'd favor her. You have to set Sulli aside!

Girls Generation and f(x), the second round of Liu Zijun's heart's most beautiful woman! Action!"

Liu Zijun looked around and saw the women looking at him with some anticipation; he looked at the Im little deer by his side and still slowly said, "From my personal aesthetic point of view, it should be Yoon-ah-xi."

The blush on Im Yoona's face suddenly deepened, and then she grinned with an alligator mouth, laughing happily.

"Hey! Mr. Liu Zijun, am I not pretty enough?"

"Exactly! Joon oppa, I'm also very pretty, okay?"

...

Sunny followed up by asking, "Then who's the second prettiest?"

Liu Zijun felt the pain of someone pinching and twisting the side of his waist, but he didn't get angry; instead, he rubbed Choi Sulli's little head.

The pain hadn't even faded yet, and Sunny was stirring up trouble again.

Liu Zijun said with a smile, "Everyone is very beautiful!"

He didn't want to have his waist pinched and twisted by Choi Sulli again.

This answer caused strong dissatisfaction among the girls, and even Choi Sulli urged him to answer quickly.

Liu Zijun looked around and then said, "It should be Victoria Song and Jessica-xi. In my opinion, Victoria Song is a standard good woman of our Huaxia, and Jessica-xi's looks and temperament are also good."

"What if you had to choose one?"

"Then Victoria Song!"

These words received strong support from the f(x) members and also met with strong dissatisfaction from the Girls Generation members.

Among the top three, they only occupied one spot!

They were about to make a fuss when Liu Zijun's phone suddenly rang.

He pulled it out and saw it was actually Son Ye-jin.

Choi Sulli on the left didn't see it, but Im Yoona caught a glimpse with her peripheral vision.

Liu Zijun looked at Choi Sulli, and since there were so many people in the private room, it wasn't very convenient.

"Jin-ri, I'm going to take a call."

Choi Sulli didn't think much of it, only telling him to be careful with his wound.

Seeing Liu Zijun leave, Im Yoona suddenly moved closer to Choi Sulli and said in a low voice, "Sulli, I'm sorry. Because I got distracted, Joon oppa got hurt."

The smile on Choi Sulli's face vanished, and she pressed her lips tightly together without speaking.

Seeing this, Im Yoona felt even more desolate inside, but she forced a smile and withdrew.

Seeing her, Choi Sulli suddenly said softly, "Yoona Unnie, I don't blame you! That was oppa's job."

Im Yoona let out a laugh, her eyes turning slightly red.

Choi Sulli's words were exactly the same as Liu Zijun's.

Liu Zijun walked out of the private room to a remote and quiet corner before answering the phone.

"Yejin! What's up?"

Son Ye-jin on the other end of the phone was almost roaring, "Hey! You're still asking me what's up? Something so big happened to you, and you didn't even tell me, and you're asking me what's up?"

Liu Zijun moved the phone a bit further away and waited until Son Ye-jin calmed down a bit before saying, "It was just a small matter, nothing worth mentioning."

Son Ye-jin's voice even sounded a bit tearful.

"This is a small matter? I was terrified when I saw the news! If Sooyoung hadn't told me, I wouldn't even have known it was you!"

"Weren't you in charge of f(x)'s security? Why did you follow Girls Generation to Japan?"

Liu Zijun had to explain; it seemed Choi Sooyoung hadn't revealed too much to this unnie yet.

"And you shouldn't be short on money, so just following Sulli should be enough, right? Don't tell me you've taken a fancy to someone else in Girls Generation?"

Liu Zijun quickly said, "That's not the case, it was just arranged by the company! Besides, it was just an accident!"

Hearing his voice, Son Ye-jin felt a little more at ease; she also knew this man was very capable.

She suddenly changed the subject, "Then where are you now? I'm coming to find you!"

Liu Zijun said, "I'm still out eating with the members of Girls Generation and f(x); they insisted on thanking me."

Son Ye-jin felt somewhat helpless; this man was surrounded by young and beautiful girls.

She snorted and waited two seconds before saying, "Then when will you be finished? Do you want me to pick you up?"

Liu Zijun was half-full, but he still said, "No need! I think Jin-ri will send me back!"

Son Ye-jin on the other end of the phone curled her lip slightly, suddenly feeling a bit jealous.

"I don't care! Send me your address when you get home, and I'll head over. You wouldn't keep Choi Sulli at home, would you?"

Liu Zijun simply replied with a "good."

This unnie really knew how to care for people, but he had never called Son Ye-jin noona, always speaking to her in the tone of a peer.

Although Son Ye-jin always knew Liu Zijun stayed in The Peninsula for Choi Sulli, she never took the initiative to ask about other matters.

She was very open-minded now; as long as she could get a sliver of warmth that belonged to her from this young man, it was enough.

This was a tacit understanding between the two, or it could be said to be a subtle rule they both followed.

But saying is one thing; when you know the man you like cares too much about another woman, there will always be some discomfort in your heart.

This is possessiveness, a part of human nature!

After chatting with Son Ye-jin for a few more sentences, he hung up the phone.

Just as he sent his home address to Son Ye-jin, he noticed a gaze quietly watching him.

"Joon oppa, your relationship with Senior Son Ye-jin seems very close."

Liu Zijun looked at Im Yoona, feeling a bit helpless; how did this girl like eavesdropping on other people's phone calls so much!

"She just found out from Sooyoung that I was injured, so she called to ask about the situation."

Im Yoona believed him because Liu Zijun hadn't said anything too ambiguous.
