Chapter 458: I feel at ease with you (two in one)
After three rounds of drinks, it was already getting late.
After drinking a bottle of high-proof sorghum liquor, except for Song Shihek who has a good alcohol tolerance, the others who drank felt dizzy and were slightly tipsy.
After Jiang Zhaohuan, who did not drink, sent the elders back to the hotel, he looked at the Pei sisters who stayed in the car and asked with a smile:
"You guys are staying in the car and not leaving. Do you have any other plans?"
Young people are at the age when they love to play. Bae Joo-hyun is busy with work on weekdays and does not have many opportunities to go out and play every year.
Bae Joo-yeon, who graduated from university, doesn't have much time to play on weekdays. She plans to take the postgraduate entrance examination recently, so in addition to preparing for the examination, she also has to help out at the fried rice cake shop run by her mother.
So after all, the two sisters rarely have time to travel overseas. Now that they are finally in Taiwan, they have to walk around and take in the night view.
"Yes, we were planning to go to Taipei 101 to see the night view. But I just checked online and it's closed at pm."
Bae Joo-yeon lowered her head in frustration. She was supposed to take a flight the next morning, but she didn't expect that she wouldn't be able to go to the place she wanted to go.
Jiang Zhaohuan thought about it for a moment, and thinking of Lao Song’s connections, he couldn’t help but lower his head and send the message.
[Kang Jo-hwan]: Dad, do you know anyone in Taipei 101? Joo-hyun and the others wanted to go there to take pictures of the night view, but it's past business hours.
Song Shi Hyuk had just returned to the hotel and hadn't even unbuckled his belt when he saw a notification pop up on his phone.
He picked up his phone and took a look at it, with a slight smile on his face.
[Song Shi Hyuk]: You just go there directly, I will help you contact Lin Hongming.
[Kang Do Hwan]: Thank you for your help. You have worked hard today.
[Song Si Hyuk]: You just need to be good to Joohyun and don't learn any bad things about the entertainment industry. The group's stock price increase will now be linked to your behavior.
When Jiang Zhaohuan saw the content of the reply, he felt a little helpless.
Since his identity was revealed, he did have to be more careful than before.
[Kang Cho-hwan]: I’m not a child anymore. I understand all these things, don’t worry.
[Song Si Hyuk]: Yeah, I had fun.
Jiang Zhaohuan put away his phone and directly searched the address of Taipei 101 using the car navigation. Pei Zhuxuan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, saw this and asked curiously:
"Hmm? How do you navigate here? Isn't it closed during business hours?"
"I just contacted Lao Song, and he told us to just go over there."
Bae Joo-hyun and Bae Joo-yeon couldn't help but look at each other. Only now did they realize that Kang Joo-hwan was a rich second-generation.
It turns out that the place is no longer in business hours, and the problem can be solved with just a few text messages.
"So can we just buy the tickets for tomorrow's viewing platform?"
"I don't think we need to buy it. I'll take you there... for free."
Bae Joo-hyun looked at Do-hwan with a puzzled look on her face, wondering what the last word meant and why he specifically said it in Chinese.
Pei Zhuyan, who only knew how to say "hello" and "thank you" in Chinese, became even more alert. She half-closed her eyes and asked:
"Why are you suddenly speaking Chinese? Are you talking about some encrypted conversation?"
"No, I didn't understand it either, so what does this 'eight bubbles' mean?"
Jiang Zhaohuan didn't know how to say "白嫖" in Korean, so he just said it in Chinese.
He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he heard his girlfriend's Chinese pronunciation, and explained with a smile:
"It's a Chinese internet term. You can understand it as me eating, drinking and having fun without spending a penny. This is the meaning of 'freeloading'."
"I see. That's quite similar to free dining."
"Well, that's understandable."
It doesn't take too long to get from the hotel to the Taipei 101 building. There wasn't much traffic and there weren't many red lights along the way.
After Jiang Zhaohuan parked the car, he didn't have to think about whether to wear a mask.
After all, it's not business hours now, so there's no chance of meeting other tourists.
When he arrived at the door, he noticed a uniformed security guard standing outside, who should be the person to pick them up.
Jiang Zhaohuan walked forward quickly and communicated politely in Chinese.
"Hello, I'm Kang Do Hwan."
When the security guard saw that the person he was waiting for had finally arrived, he smiled brightly and said in Chinese with a heavy Taiwan accent:
"Hello, Mr. Jiang, please follow me."
The security personnel were in a very good mood. Not only did they get to receive celebrities, but they also received a bonus from the big boss.
I was supposed to be on duty today and hand over my shift until dawn. How can I not be happy to receive unexpected income?
And the boss was obviously in a good mood, as the bonus was enough for him to buy a box of sorghum wine.
The security guard came to the area leading to the observation deck. He pointed to the location of the elevator and said with a smile:
"The elevator access is open. You can see a 88-degree panoramic view of Taiwan from the 360th floor, and you can go outside to see the night view from the 91st floor. There is a high enough hollow fence, so there is no need to worry about safety issues."
Jiang Zhaohuan took out his wallet and stuffed the pre-exchanged Taiwanese dollars inside directly into the security guard's hand. The thick stack of money was indeed very sincere.
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
"Mr. Jiang, thank you and have a good time."
Before leaving, the security guard glanced at the two girls who were accompanying him. Since he was not a fan of celebrities, he naturally didn't know their identities. He just thought the handsome men and beautiful women were very dazzling.
He returned to the security room, took out his cell phone and made a call, wanting to share the tips and bonuses he had received with his sister.
"Sister, guess how much tips your brother received today!"
"Huh? How come you're on night shift and still get tips? Aren't there only a few of you security guards left in the building?"
The security guard knew that his sister didn't believe him, so he just turned on the hands-free mode, crossed his arms over his chest with a smug look, and the words he said seemed a bit annoying.
"Today, the big boss called me personally and asked me to open the elevator to receive a celebrity. He's very handsome, about half as handsome as your brother!"
"...What star is so ugly?"
As expected of my biological sister, she is very harsh when she complains.
The security personnel were in tears. His nose was not straight enough, his eyes were not big enough, and his face was square.
He didn't want to dwell on the topic of beauty and ugliness, so he changed the subject:
"Sister, I remember you were a fan of celebrities, right? I heard from the big boss that they came from the Peninsula. The male star I received was called Jiang Zhaohuan. Are you familiar with him?"
There was silence on the other end of the line, causing the security guard to suspect that his phone had no signal.
He glanced at the full signal and muttered strangely:
"What's going on? Why aren't you talking?"
"Brother, do you still remember that I stole your wine money last year?"
"Why bring this up? I don't blame you."
"I stole the money so I could go to Peninsula to watch Kang Do Hwan's fan meeting."
The security guard stood there in a daze for a few seconds before realizing that the Peninsula artist his sister liked was the handsome guy he was receiving.
Hearing his sister on the other end of the phone eager to rush over from Kaohsiung, he hurriedly stopped her:
"No, don't mess around with me! I'll try to get you an autograph later. I think he has a good temper and will probably give it to me!"
"But I want to see him~Brother~~~"
When Taiwanese girls start to act coquettishly, they can really make a person's bones melt.
How could he, a man with a sister complex, endure this? He agreed with a wave of his hand.
Of course, it’s not about asking my sister to come to Taipei, but about finding a way to start a live broadcast later.
"I'll try it later, you stay with the phone first."
"Okay! Waiting for your good news!"
On the other side, Jiang Zhaohuan and others were completely unaware. After he pressed the elevator button for the 88th floor, the lights in the elevator suddenly became dim.
This frightened Bae Joo-hyun, who was used to sitting in bright elevators, so much that she hugged Do-hwan's arm.
Their younger sister, Bae Joo-yeon, said she couldn't bear to watch the two of them showing their affection in front of her all the time.
Oh my god, if she didn’t want to see the night view, she really wouldn’t want to eat this dog food.
Jiang Zhaohuan looked down at his girlfriend who was huddled beside him and said soothingly with a smile:
"Don't worry, this is just the style of the elevator. Look at the numbers over here."
Bae Joo-hyun looked up at the light screen that was particularly obvious in the dark environment. It displayed the floor number, height, speed and the seconds it took to reach the floor.
As the speed increased and the floors rose higher, her ears began to feel uncomfortable.
Just like the feeling when she was on an airplane, she had to swallow hard to get rid of the feeling of ear blockage.
After successfully arriving at the 88th floor, Bae Joo-hyun couldn't wait to walk out of the elevator and rubbed her ears with her hands.
She looked up at the situation outside the window. In order to better capture the night scene, the indoor lighting on the entire floor was relatively dim.
Bae Joo-hyun has always been a little afraid of the dark, and she is also a little afraid of heights. After walking a few steps independently, she hugged Do-hwan's arm again and was unwilling to let go.
After Jiang Zhaohuan noticed his girlfriend's timid look, he remembered that there was a check-in spot called "Infinite Sky" here.
A cunning look appeared in his eyes, and he took out his cell phone and walked towards the sign.
Sure enough, I noticed a suspended panoramic glass sightseeing platform in a corner. It takes some courage to stand here.
"Joo Hyun, do you want to come over and stand there so I can take a picture of you?"
After hearing her boyfriend's suggestion, Bae Joo-hyun turned her head and looked in the direction he was pointing.
After seeing clearly the peculiarity of that piece of ground, she shook her head like a rattle, and the sound could not help but become shrill.
"No! I don't want to take pictures here!"
The resistance index directly reaches MAX.
Pei Zhuyan, who was fearless, was a little excited. The two sisters had very different personalities. She trotted directly to the observation deck, squatted down and knocked on the glass, and couldn't help but sigh:
"Wow~ This is the first time I've seen this. It feels like any shot would be a blockbuster!"
"This is a place where internet celebrities check in and take photos. Do you want me to take a photo for you?"
Upon hearing this, Bae Joo-yeon simply waved her hand. In her heart, she still disliked Do-hwan's photography skills.
There are older sisters here who are better at taking photos, so she will naturally choose the better one.
But who would have thought that when Pei Zhuxuan heard that she was going to take a photo, she actually shook her head to refuse.
"Why? Unnie, don't you love me anymore?"
"...I can't love you standing there, I'll take pictures of you somewhere else."
Bae Joohyun secretly glanced at the glass below Jooyeon, and she could feel her heartbeat speeding up.
Even though I'm not the one standing there, I still feel worried for the other person.
Jiang Zhaohuan had no intention of making things difficult for Pei Zhuxuan. He walked over to her, leaned over and asked:
"Are you really not going to give it a try? I can accompany you."
When Pei Zhuxuan heard this, she felt a little conflicted.
She also hopes that she will be less timid. Although she cannot correct her easily frightened personality, she can grow in other aspects through challenges.
Bae Joo-hyun bit her lower lip in confusion, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded slightly.
Jiang Zhaohuan walked up to him with a smile, opened his arms and asked:
"Would you like to walk over there by yourself, or should I carry you over there?"
Bae Joo-hyun is not that brave. Maybe she would feel better if her feet didn't touch the ground.
She didn't even think about it and just jumped.
The two of them have done this many times, so there is no need to worry that Do Hwan will not be able to support himself.
Jiang Zhaohuan easily lifted up Bae Zhuxuan, who weighed less than 100 pounds, and walked towards the suspended observation platform.
He came to the nearest window and reminded a coward who had closed his eyes to open them.
Bae Joo-hyun frowned and opened her eyes a little carefully. She didn't know if it was because the night view was too beautiful or because of the familiar smell on his body that slowly calmed her emotions.
I didn't feel scared at all and was able to appreciate the scenery seriously.
Bae Joo-hyun looked at the city night scene with flashing neon lights. After looking around, she actually found some familiar buildings.
She pointed her index finger at something and asked in surprise:
"Huh? I think I saw the hotel we're staying in? Is that right?"
"Yes, it is indeed the hotel we are staying in. Your eyesight is quite good."
Bae Joo-hyun shook her head proudly. She didn't feel any fear at all. She simply stepped on the glass herself.
She just held onto Zhao Huan's hand tightly and didn't want to let go; this was the source of her courage.
Bae Joo-yeon, who was standing by, looked at the loving couple in front of her in confusion. She really wanted to fall in love.
How great it would be if I could find a boyfriend like Do Hwan.
She never thought that Ouni would change his mind and actually dare to stand in such a "dangerous" place and overlook the beautiful scenery so closely.
There really was a change in her that Zhao Huan had brought about.
And these changes are all good.
Pei Zhuxuan was very tired after the concert today. She took a few steps and said in a coquettish tone:
"Diaohuan, I'm a little tired. Can you carry me for a walk?"
Jiang Zhaohuan didn't reply. He squatted in front of her and motioned her to come up.
He easily carried Bae Joo-hyun on his back and walked slowly forward, circling the entire floor.
Bae Joo-hyun, who was lying on his back, also took out her mobile phone to record the scenery outside the window and the two people reflected in the glass window.
Jiang Zhaohuan suddenly noticed that the mobile phone was stretched out in front of him, and it was turned on the selfie mode.
He was just about to ask Bae Joo-hyun if she wanted to take a photo together, but he saw her leaning over his ear in the picture.
The sensitive earlobe was bitten lightly, which felt like an electric shock.
The panic in Jiang Zhaohuan's eyes was recorded by the camera. He looked helplessly at Bae Zhuxuan who was looking at the photos again and again on his back with a happy smile, and sighed softly.
Does this guy really not know what terrible thing she is doing?
"Stop laughing. If you continue laughing, I won't let you laugh at night."
Bae Joo-hyun's laughter stopped abruptly. After she realized what he meant, she couldn't help but pat his shoulder.
"What are you talking about? I won't stay in a hotel with you..."
"I didn't say anything."
"ah!"
Bae Joo-yeon squinted her eyes and looked at the two people who circled the field and returned to the starting point. She noticed the blush on her sister's cheeks and immediately winked.
"Oh my god, you two aren't going to talk about adult topics anymore, are you? The flight tomorrow is quite early, don't play too late~Ouni~~~"
She really relied on the fact that her sister was still on Do Hwan's back and acted lawless.
"Ah! Bae Joo-yeon!"
Bae Joo-hyun tried to jump down, but found that Do-hwan was holding her firmly and she was unable to move at all.
She twisted her back and said anxiously:
"Zhaohuan, put me down!"
"Well, run slower. If you can't catch it, I can help you."
"Then help me!"
Bae Joo-yeon saw that Jiang Zhaohuan caught her easily with just a few steps, and her head was full of question marks.
No, that’s how you play it, right?
Are you bullying me for not having a boyfriend?!
Pei Zhuxuan looked at her sister who was arrested on the spot with a smug look on her face, smiled and raised her eyebrows and said:
"How about it? Do you still dare to say something like that?"
"...I don't dare anymore."
"Then you wash all the dishes at home this year, okay?"
Pei Zhuyan didn't expect that Ouni would go so far. She puffed her lips speechlessly and said in a muffled voice:
"Got it! I'll wash it!"
"Hey~ be obedient, I'll buy you the notebook you wanted last time."
Pei Zhuyan's eyes sparkled with gold when she heard this, and she asked excitedly:
"Really? Jingjia?!"
"Do I have to lie to you? Come on, it's almost time for us to go back."
"Hehe~Ouni, you are really the best, mua!"
"Ah! Your saliva is all over my face, it's so dirty!"
After the three of them took the elevator down again, they noticed that the security guard looked embarrassed.
He looked at Jiang Zhaohuan a little embarrassedly and said:
"Um, Mr. Jiang, my sister is your fan, is it possible to have a video call with her?"
"No problem, of course you can."
The security guard didn't expect Do Hwan to be so easy to talk to, so he quickly made a video call to his sister.
"What's your sister's name?"
"Chen Xinyi."
"Ok."
The video call was connected quickly. The girl who appeared on the screen was very cute. The moment she saw Do Hwan, she disappeared from the screen.
Jiang Zhaohuan blinked in confusion and asked:
"Ms. Chen Xinyi? What's wrong with you?"
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
The picture in his hand began to shake violently, which frightened everyone present. Could something have happened suddenly?
Jiang Zhaohuan frowned and looked at the security personnel, and asked:
"Is your sister suffering from any illness?"
"No, my sister is very healthy! Xinyi? Xinyi, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Xinyi realized that she was too excited to see her idol and caused them to misunderstand her.
She quickly got up from the bed, tidied her messy hair, and said with a wry smile:
"No, I just...I was just so happy that I went crazy, not sick!"
"..."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhaohuan couldn't help laughing. How could someone say that he was crazy?
He interacted with fans on his phone for a few words and then hung up.
The reason why Bae Joo-hyun was not allowed to appear on camera throughout the whole process was to keep a low profile. After all, the official announcement was just to let everyone know that the two of them were in a relationship, not to show off by dancing in front of fans and passers-by.
"Mr. Jiang, thank you so much for meeting my sister's request."
"It's okay, thank you for your sister's support, we'll be leaving first."
"Okay, I'll take you there!"
