Chapter 98: Tzuyu really runs away when something happens

The recording of "Idol Sports Festival" is already halfway through.

After the women's wrestling started, as a member of JYP, Kang Do Hwan naturally went to cheer for his junior Twice.

The moment I saw Yu Jeongyeon shine in the preliminaries.

He was somewhat surprised at how hard these female idols tried not to reveal their weight.

As a new dark horse, Twice won one victory after another and finally made it to the finals.

However, when facing the female giant group EXID, they still succumbed to LE and Heo Sol-ji.

Halftime break comes again.

After Kang Do-hwan distributed the lunch boxes with GOT7, he prepared to return to the lounge to enjoy his grilled pork belly lunch box.

After simply filling my stomach, I encountered the same thing again in the same place.

But this time the person involved was not himself, but Chou Tzu-yu.

"Tzuyuxi, this is my personal number. Can you give me a chance to get to know you?"

After hearing this, Jiang Zhaohuan, who was standing in the men's restroom, did not open the door in time.

He still wanted to listen to Yu's answer before considering whether to show up.

Zhou Ziyu came to the bathroom to wash her face, but she didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

She suddenly regretted why she didn't ask her sister to accompany her.

Zhou Ziyu knew that the other party was a senior who debuted two years earlier than her, so she bowed quickly and said:
"Sorry, senior. Thank you for your kindness."

"Tzuyuxi, I'm working hard to learn Chinese for you, so just accept it."

Just as the male idol took a step forward and wanted to hold Chou Tzuyu's hand, the door behind him was suddenly pushed open.

He looked behind him with wide eyes, and was met with a pair of eyes that were cold and obviously haunted.

Jiang Zhaohuan glanced down at the male idol, as if he had not heard the previous conversation, and smiled:
"Senior, why don't you go in? There's no one inside."

After the male idol recognized Jiang Zhaohuan, he had no choice but to put the note in his pocket and said with a wry smile:

"Ani, I just want to wash my hands before going in."

Zhou Ziyu showed an embarrassed expression on her face. She guessed that Jiang Zhaohuan must have heard the entire conversation.

Jiang Zhaohuan looked at Zhou Ziyu naturally, with a hint of surprise in his tone.

But at this time, she didn't use her acting skills at all, and she just wanted to let the male idol know that she heard everything.

"Tzuyu, why are you here? Jihyo just sent me a message asking if I saw you."

"I'm just here to wash my face and I'll be back soon."

"Let's go together then."

Jiang Zhaohuan followed Zhou Ziyu half a step behind him, with his hands in his pockets like a bodyguard.

After he was some distance away from the toilet, he asked:

"Does this happen to you often?"

"what?"

Zhou Ziyu was stunned for a moment before she realized the meaning of this sentence. She nodded and admitted,

"Yes, but I received less. Sana and Mina received more."

Jiang Zhaohuan was a little absent-minded when he heard this. It seemed that all the popular members in the team would have such troubles.

His brain seemed to be out of control, and the man's figure gradually emerged.

Jiang Zhaohuan shook his head slightly. He wanted to ask Tzuyu directly about her recent situation, but he didn't say anything.

There are too many staff in the aisle, so it is not convenient to talk about this topic.

Let's wait until we have dinner together in the evening and find an opportunity to chat slowly.

After a short rest, the men's 60m preliminaries and finals began. GOT7 members and Kang Do-hwan who did not participate in this event were all playing badly in the lounge.

Anyway, there are no events for them to compete in later, so they just need to act as spectators when the women are shooting archery.

Kang Jo-hwan, who took a nap on the sofa, walked out of the lounge yawning.

Under the arrangement of the staff, we came to the back of the women's archery team competition.

When he saw Red Velvet versus Mamamoo, he felt that the former had little chance of winning.

On the way here, Kang Do Hwan heard that Mamamoo was the winner of the previous archery competition.

So he felt that Red Velvet, who were short and might not have strong arms, had no chance of winning.

However, the ending is always surprising.

The former champion's consecutive mistakes and the archery novice's extraordinary performance successfully reversed the situation. Jiang Zhaohuan raised his eyebrows when he saw this scene. He didn't expect that the small body could also have great strength.

Except for the occasional mistake, basically all three of them scored nine rings in archery, which shows that they must have practiced hard.

But in the final, they still failed to beat EXID and only won the silver medal.

Jiang Zhaohuan wanted to go up and say hello, but when he thought about the fans in the stands staring at him, it seemed a bit strange for him to walk over alone.

I simply left with the members of GOT7 and returned to the lounge to wait for the most exciting closing ceremony.

After the closing ceremony, Kang Do-hwan fulfilled his promise and took his own nanny car to a Korean beef restaurant in Apgujeong.

There weren't many seats in this restaurant, and since reservations had been made in advance by phone, there were only seventeen artists and their respective team staff in the entire restaurant.

Kang Do Hwan originally planned to sit at GOT7's table, but when he thought about having something to say to Chou Tzu-yu, he simply sat next to Twice's manager, with Tzuyu on his left.

Lin Nayeon and Park Jihyo, who were sitting opposite each other, exchanged glances.

When they saw the price of the barbecue on the menu, they were hesitant and asked:
"Zhao Huanxi, can we order all of these?"

"Inside?"

Jiang Zhaohuan guessed that they were a little embarrassed, so he smiled and said,
"Don't worry, the salary of an actor is different from that of an idol. I have never been a trainee, but I have earned quite a bit of money."

Actors and idols are indeed different.

Trainees like these who debuted as idols, even if they are popular enough when they first debut, still have to repay the training costs of all those years.

Not only that, costs for album shooting and promotion are often borne by the idol groups themselves.

After all miscellaneous expenses have been deducted, the profit sharing agreement with the company will be finalized.

After paying taxes, the salary you receive can be said to be greatly reduced.

Of course, this is a treatment only enjoyed by idol groups that gain high popularity right after their debut. Most groups may not have any income at all in the first two or three years after their debut.

As an actor, Kang Do-hwan did not go through a trainee period, so he received the income directly with zero debt.

After hearing what Kang Do Hwan said, Lim Nayeon breathed a sigh of relief.

She boldly ordered a single meal of black pork and cold noodles worth 39900 won.

Compared to GOT7's blunt way of ordering, Twice's can be described as "subtle".

Basically, everyone orders the cheaper pork neck or black pork belly.

As for Korean beef, I only chose the cheapest brisket in the store.

In order to be full, I even ordered several bowls of stone pot vegetable rice.

Jiang Zhaohuan guessed that they were still hesitant to order, so he simply picked up the menu and ordered ten servings of the most expensive Korean beef set meal.

I also reduced the portion of staple food so that they would enjoy their meal.

When the Korean beef was served, the members of Twice also realized that it was Kang Do Hwan who changed the menu.

I don't know who started it, but they came to express their gratitude with liquor in hand.

Kang Do Hwan, who has reached adulthood this year, has naturally reached drinking age. He picked up the wine glass and clinked it with the adult Line of Twice. Not knowing anything about drinking culture, he had no choice but to drink it all.

Uh, the wine is really hard to drink.

Why does it feel like I'm secretly drinking medical alcohol in the infirmary?
Of course, he had never drunk medicinal alcohol.

Zhou Ziyu picked up a piece of Korean beef, dipped it in a little sesame salt and put it in her mouth. Before she had time to chew, she felt something on her shoulder.

She turned her head and saw Kang Jo Hwan with one hand on her shoulder and the other hand covering his mouth.

Haven’t you ever drunk alcohol or seen an older sister who got drunk, went crazy and vomited?

Zhou Ziyu leaned towards Minatozaki Sana next to her as quickly as possible, causing Jiang Zhaohuan's hand to suddenly fall empty.

He lost his balance and fell off the chair.

"Oh, are you okay?"

Lim Nayeon, who witnessed all this, turned the barbecue in front of her and said with concern.

It’s obviously concern, but I feel that the high-quality barbecue on the grill is more important.

When Minatozaki Sana saw this scene, she stood up immediately, squatted down and wanted to check if Kang Do-hwan was injured.

Twice's manager also quickly put down his chopsticks and tried to help Kang Do Hwan, who was sitting on the ground and unresponsive.

What I didn’t expect was that the person on the ground had his eyes closed.

Twice's manager looked up at Zhou Ziyu in confusion, his voice out of tune with surprise:
"Sleep...Zhao Huanxi is asleep?"

"?"
