"Why are you so beautiful today, unnie?" Gisele pushed her glasses and teased with a smile.

"Wow!"

Ning Yizhuo teased, "No matter who you are, get off my Jimin."

At the door, Liu Zhimin lightly tied up the ends of her hair, feeling a little embarrassed by the compliments, and said angrily: "Don't you dare to be more exaggerated!"

"That's not a compliment!"

Ning Yizhuo came over with a mirror in hand and said, "Quick, take a look at yourself. Aren't you clear about it?"

Liu Zhimin looked at herself in the mirror.

She wore a white shirt with a blue and white plaid cotton vest, and had a few pigtails in between her long hair. She wore a khaki knee-length skirt, white socks, and sky blue flat shoes. She had light makeup on, her eyes were watery and soft, and her temperament was elegant.

She subconsciously held her lower lip with her teeth, but when she thought of the other members around her, she immediately held back.

Liu Zhimin thought about it, half proud, half reserved, but still raised his head and said: "It's not bad."

"Ouni, you've changed so much that I almost don't recognize you." Ning Yizhuo joked in an exaggerated manner.

But actually, it is what I really think.

"Please don't always speak in such an exaggerated tone, it's too outrageous." Liu Zhimin was happy in her heart because it seemed that all the efforts during this period were not in vain, and even the members realized it.

And the relationship between her and Li Yang has actually been eased.
Aespa's performance is also growing day by day. The haze caused by the scandal with Dinosaur Brother in the early days has also disappeared, and the air is full of fresh air.
Life is full of hope in Liu Zhimin's eyes.

"That's outrageous. I've already been subtle enough."

Ning Yizhuo suppressed a laugh and said, "If you don't believe me, go ask others, or even your manager, Oppa. No one can recognize you anymore."

"real or fake?"

Liu Zhimin's eyes sparkled with a smile, and he looked at Giselle and said, "You say, is it that exaggerated?"

Giselle thought about it and said seriously, "It's even more exaggerated than this."

"Okay, I'm not going to mess with you anymore. I'm going to take a shower." Liu Zhimin thought they were joking, but the moment she took a step, Dongtian's words inexplicably emerged in her mind.

"Li Yang's love was never because of her appearance, but because Zhao Meiyan is Zhao Meiyan!"

Liu Zhimin inexplicably stopped, turned around, and asked, "Do you think this change is good or bad?"

"Of course!"

Ning Yizhuo was lying on the sofa, fiddling with his phone, and said lazily: "Although you had a good personality before, your appearance alone was full of dominance. I didn't even dare to watch you take a shower. It's not like now. I can rub you whenever I want. Hehe."

Just as he was saying this, he realized what was happening and quickly shut his mouth.

It's a pity it's too late.

Liu Zhimin's face popped out from behind the sofa, looking down from above, with a playful tone: "So, you were the one who was always hanging around outside the bathroom!"

For example, when I was taking a shower, I always felt like there was someone at the door, but I could never find him.

The case is now solved.

"Hehe, there's nothing I can do about it. Unnie is so well developed, it's inevitable that she'll be a little curious."

Ning Yizhuo smiled awkwardly, and quickly called for help, turned over quickly, winked at Giselle and said, "Am I right?"

Giselle took in the entire scene, and then, under Ning Yizhuo's rather desperate gaze, she shook her head with a stifling smile, "Only you can pay attention to it, don't bring me along."

“Yeah, it wasn’t you who suggested that.”

As Ning Yizhuo was talking, he felt a weight on his butt, as if someone was pressing on him. He also heard a voice that sounded like the hum of a devil, saying playfully, "Oh, now I remember. Every time when we were playing around, we would find a hand reaching towards our chest. It looks like it was you!"

"Unnie, Jimin unnie"

Ning Yizhuo looked innocent and laughed guiltily, "If I said it wasn't me, would you believe me?"

After saying that, he quickly added: "You will believe it, right?"

She has sincere eyes and a sincere attitude.

unfortunately
Before he finished speaking, Liu Zhimin had already extended his hand to hug him.

"Ouni. Hahaha, stop it."

"Clothes, clothes are falling off."

"No, I admit my mistake, hahahaha, isn't it okay if I'm wrong?"

Ning Yizhuo begged for mercy and resisted in the beginning, and then lay on the sofa with a blank look in his eyes. The surroundings were a mess, and he felt broken as if he had been humiliated by a bully.

"I told you that you are not small either, now it is proven."

Liu Zhimin clapped his hands and stood up, as if savoring the touch just now, with a smug smile in his eyes.

Although she was in a very messy state, she had the advantage because she was riding on top.

Giselle was at the table, staring at the scene in amazement, not daring to make a sound, for fear of attracting the attention of the two and accidentally causing the fight to affect her.
Ning Yizhuo's eyes gradually regained focus, and he clenched his fists, muttering softly, "Damn it, it looks like I'll have to take the initiative in the future!"

Soon, she saw Liu Zhimin, who was sitting beside her, stood up vigilantly, turned over and got off the sofa, occupying an advantageous position.

but
"I won't make trouble anymore. I really won't make trouble anymore."

Liu Zhimin adjusted his hair and said sincerely, "I'm not joking this time. Do you really think this change is a good thing?"

"Seriously?" Ning Yizhuo asked subconsciously.

The attitude suddenly became serious, and she was a little uncomfortable with it.

"I don't think Jimin actually wants to ask about our feelings, right?" Gisele said meaningfully.

Then, he added, "If we tell the truth, Ernie should tell the truth too, right?"

"Yes!"

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Zhimin gritted his teeth and nodded.

Although the fact that she liked Li Yang was almost known to the team, it still took some determination to admit it openly.

As he said this, he looked at the two silent people, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and said, "I've finished talking, why don't you continue?"

"the words said"

Giselle subconsciously looked at Ning Yizhuo, and both of them hesitated a little.

"Say!"

Ning Yizhuo gritted his teeth and said seriously: "Actually, I don't think it's very good."

"Although this may sound harsh, I think if you like it, you like it, and if you don't like it, you don't like it. What's the point of changing yourself?"

Ning Yizhuo looked at Liu Zhimin seriously and said, "It doesn't matter if we're not together, but what about after we're together, do you plan to pretend to be Zhao Meiyan for the rest of your life?"

Liu Zhimin's eyes were shaken, and then he slowly lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Ning Yizhuo's eyes, or
It would be more appropriate to describe it as escape.

She was actually very clear about this in her heart, but what could she do?

This was her last resort.
At this moment, she was faced with the truth that she had always been reluctant to face.

"Ouni, have you ever thought about this: if the time comes to face Zhao Meiyan, will Li Yang choose you, the fake one, or the real one?"

Giselle looked sincere and sighed as she said, "You can change your pretense and tolerate your temper, but you are still a human being. Even if he can be with you, can you be sure that he likes Liu Zhimin, not Zhao Meiyan?"

After saying this, he paused and said, "If this continues, it's only a matter of time before problems arise." After he finished speaking, the atmosphere seemed a little depressing.

"We are actually just looking at things from our perspective, so just take it as a suggestion, Ouni."

Ning Yizhuo stepped out to adjust the atmosphere and said with a smile: "The future is still long, who knows what changes will happen, right?"

She winked hastily at Giselle.

But unexpectedly, Giselle pushed her glasses and said seriously: "I think that the most cruel thing for Ouni is to be unable to break up and give her the illusion of hope when there is no hope."

After saying that, the two stopped talking and looked at Liu Zhimin at the same time.

In fact, if they were just members, they shouldn't have said such things.

But after living together for a long time, they have already established a deep relationship with each other. From their perspective, Li Yang is like a bottomless cliff, and they can't bear to watch Liu Zhimin fall into the abyss.
"Yes, I already have an idea in my mind."

Liu Zhimin pursed his lips, forced a smile, and said, "I know what to do next."

After saying that, he said hello and got up and left.

Behind him, the two teammates didn't say anything either.

On the bed, Jin Dongtian's ears moved slightly and she noticed all this. She turned up the volume on her tablet so that the sounds from this side could be clearly heard in the corridor.

unfortunately
Liu Zhimin didn't seem to notice any of this and chose to walk straight back to the room.

"It shouldn't be!"

Jin Dongtian frowned slightly. Liu Zhimin has always paid special attention to Li Yang's affairs and would come almost every time he heard the news. Why is something wrong today?

After a while.
She thought about it and decided to take the initiative.

Jin Dongtian got out of bed carrying his tablet and walked to the corridor.
The door of the dormitory opposite was not closed. She clearly saw Liu Zhimin inside taking off the clothes that looked like those of a high school girl and changing into a long-lost black outfit.

She tied her hair into a high ponytail, and wore a black hot girl outfit on the upper body. The loose neckline revealed her fair shoulders, her slender waist, and her abdominal muscles were as shiny as ivory. Her lower body was a combination of a black short skirt and fishnet stockings, and she was wearing short boots.
The familiar Liu Zhimin is back.

She was putting on makeup in front of the mirror, applying the eye shadow she hadn't seen in a long time.
Liu Zhimin stood up and looked at himself in the mirror. He was still full of aggression. Everything seemed the same as before, except that there was a little more complexity in his eyes.
"Will he fall in love with me like this?"

Liu Zhimin murmured, her tone full of uncertainty, she had no confidence at all.

To her, Li Yang's thoughts were like the boundless ocean. She had not received any response after repeated attempts, and she had no idea of ​​Li Yang's thoughts.
Yet every time I close my eyes I see his shadow.

"This guy is causing a lot of harm to others!" Liu Zhimin whispered, with a hint of anger.
It's not that she hasn't thought about giving up, but every time she thinks about giving up, the image of Li Yang in her mind becomes clearer.
Just as he was thinking, he seemed to realize something was happening, looked towards the door, and said in surprise: "Winter, why are you standing at the door all the time?"

Soon, his attention shifted to the tablet in Jin Dongtian's hand. He collected his thoughts and jokingly asked, "Are you planning to tell me about the ambiguity between Li Yang and the new female guest again today?"

Then, he sat on the bed and said jokingly, "Come on, I'm ready."

In her eyes, Jin Dongtian's behavior was like a child who was reluctant to give away his favorite toy to others, so she could understand it very well.

"I"

Jin Dongtian was a little hesitant. She did plan to take the conventional route at first, but at this moment she suddenly discovered that Liu Zhimin seemed to be immune to this mentality.

You can say something else.
She hesitated even more.

Jin Dongtian was very worried that Liu Zhimin would get hurt because of this.

But if you don't say it, then...
"Go ahead, there's nothing we can't talk about between us." Liu Zhimin said with a smile.

Although she was still in a low mood, her overall condition had improved somewhat.

"Then I really said it?"

Jin Dongtian's hesitation eased a little.

"Go ahead."

Liu Zhimin joined in the fight and complained, "This bastard flirts with beautiful women every day. Women who are not blind should not fall for this scumbag."

"Actually, this is not what I want to talk about today." Jin Dongtian shook his head.

"what is that?"

Liu Zhimin was slightly startled, then quickly teased, "Could it be that Dong Tian is planning to make a Jedi transformation and act as a matchmaker?"

"I heard something in the company today, and I don't know whether I should say it." Jin Dongtian hesitated for a moment, but still said it.

"What?"

Liu Zhimin had a bad feeling in his heart, but pretended to be calm and asked, "About Li Yang?"

"Inside."

Jin Dongtian nodded, still hesitating.

She wanted to break up with him, but breaking up in this way was too cruel.

"Say!"

Liu Zhimin gritted his teeth and said seriously: "With the relationship between us, is there any need to hesitate?"

Her eyes trembled, as if she had guessed something, and continued: "Is it related to the Idol Card?"

The news that Director Nam So-young used the idol card to attack President Kim Young-min had long been widely spread, and everyone in SM was aware of it.

Jin Dongtian was surprised for a second, then nodded and said, "I heard an employee chatting today saying that Director Nan Suying had privately contacted Li Yang, and in the end the two sides seemed to have broken down. An employee passing by heard Director Nan Suying say that Li Yang seemed to be threatening the company with his relationship with Eunnie."

As soon as the words fell, it was as if a bolt of thunder fell into Liu Zhimin's ears. His brain was buzzing. After a while, he pursed his lips, raised a self-deprecating smile, and said, "It was the last time he came to see me, right?"

"Yes."

Jin Dongtian nodded, like a child who had done something wrong, and whispered, "They said that Director Nan Suying was so angry that she smashed the computer."

"I understand." Liu Zhimin interrupted gently with a calm expression.

“Ouni, I think this might be a misunderstanding.”

Jin Dongtian was a little scared, worried that Liu Zhimin would be upset, and thought about getting some back.
But before he could finish, he found that Liu Zhimin had already stood up and walked out.

"Ouni, why are you going out so late?" Giselle's surprised voice was heard in the living room.

"I'm going to go out and get some fresh air."

"I also want to go for a walk." Ning Yizhuo planned to follow and see.

"Sorry, I want to be alone for a moment."

After Liu Zhimin declined, he closed the door and left alone.

"Ouni." Jin Dongtian chased out and in his anxiety, the tablet fell to the ground.

But hearing the determination in Liu Zhimin's tone, he stopped again.

"What did you say to unnie in the room?" The two looked over and seemed to notice that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

"I"

Jin Dongtian pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then recounted the conversation in the room.

On the floor, Lee Yang and Kang Hye Won’s shrill laughter echoed through the room via the tablet.
