Chapter 144 The Maknae's Romance
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Wenzhe kissed Cui Xueli on the forehead and said, "You can sleep a little longer. I'll make you breakfast and call you when it's ready."
"I'm not hungry."
Choi Sulli hugged Zhou Wenzhe tightly; she didn't want to be separated from him for even a moment.
"But I'm hungry."
Zhou Wenzhe's stomach rumbled twice, just as it was supposed to.
Upon hearing the voice, Choi Sulli laughed, "Then you go ahead, I'm going to take a shower first."
""
in the bathroom.
After taking a shower, Choi Sulli stood in front of the mirror, gently touching the faint mark on her neck.
Once again, those images that flashed through my mind during my final moments resurfaced.
In her short 25 years of life, there were happy times, sad times, and things she could not let go of and regretted.
What she regrets most is that she couldn't get married to Zhou Wenzhe.
Looking back now, she really shouldn't have made that choice.
After a long while, Choi Sulli took a deep breath and murmured to herself in the mirror, "The old Truth is dead. From today onwards, a completely new Truth will live in this world. She will live a wonderful, joyful, and... blissful life."
After taking a thorough shower, Choi Sulli changed into a brand new outfit, covered the mark on her neck with a silk scarf, and put on beautiful makeup before going to the living room on the first floor.
Seeing Cui Xueli's outfit, Zhou Wenzhe asked in surprise, "Are you going out?"
No, that's not it.
"Then why are you dressed like that and wearing makeup?"
"There's no rule against wearing makeup or nice clothes at home, is there?" Choi Sulli walked up to Zhou Wenzhe, turned around, and looked at him with a bright smile, asking, "Am I pretty?"
Zhou Wenzhe nodded and looked Cui Xueli over again. He could tell that she was different from before.
If there's anything different, it's that my energy and spirit are completely different from before. It's like I've unloaded a heavy burden, and my whole being has regained its radiance.
The two sat down to eat breakfast.
While eating, Zhou Wenzhe was thinking about how to get home. This was Seongnam City, and it would take more than half an hour to drive back to downtown Seoul.
Seeing Zhou Wenzhe looking preoccupied, Cui Xueli asked, puzzled, "Oppa, what's wrong?"
"Um... Shirley, could you give me the car keys in a bit?"
"Car keys? Okay."
Without asking any further questions, Cui Xueli walked to the door, took a car key from the rack, and handed it to Zhou Wenzhe.
Zhou Wenzhe took the keys and looked at her: "Aren't you going to ask me why I need your car keys?"
Choi Sulli shook her head. "I know you must have your reasons for doing this."
Sure enough, she now believes in herself unconditionally.
After finishing breakfast, Zhou Wenzhe grabbed his car keys and said to Cui Xueli, "Xueli, I need to go home. Do you want to come with me?"
"No need." Choi Sulli shook her head, her face darkening.
Zhou Wenzhe could tell what she was worried about, and said, "My mom has already gone back to America."
"Did your aunt go back?"
"Yes, she went back with my father yesterday."
Choi Sulli thought for a moment and nodded.
"Let's go then."
Zhou Wenzhe took Cui Xueli's hand and led her to the garage, where they got into her BMW 428i, a hardtop convertible that she had just bought last year.
On the road.
Choi Sulli kept her eyes on Zhou Wenzhe, who was driving, and her gaze never left him.
"I know you have a lot of questions to ask, so go ahead and ask."
Zhou Wenzhe glanced at Cui Xueli. Their intimacy level had reached 100, and the system said that she unconditionally trusted him, so he could tell her some things about himself.
He has had this system for over a decade, and during that time he has kept it a secret, not even daring to tell his closest family members, his parents, for fear that others would see him as an oddball.
Especially in the early days after he first got the system, he suffered a mental breakdown and endured immense pressure.
Now he finally has someone he can confide in.
"Oppa, how did you get here last night?"
After getting into her car, Choi Sulli realized that Zhou Wenzhe hadn't driven over the night before, which made her even more puzzled.
Her unconditional trust in him prevented her from asking, but now that he has brought it up, she naturally wants to know.
"It came right over like that," Zhou Wenzhe gestured.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Choi Sulli tilted her head, looking puzzled.
"Didn't you suspect I was an alien last night?"
"ah?!"
Choi Sulli stared in shock, not doubting at all whether what Zhou Wenzhe said was true.
"Haha, you actually believe that?"
"Oh dear, what exactly do you mean?"
"Actually, I'm a little different from ordinary people."
"What's different?" Choi Sulli's curiosity had reached its peak.
"I do have some superpowers; I can do a little bit of everything you see in movies and TV shows."
"Wow, is that amazing?"
Sulli was already imagining the scenes of him using his superpowers, and then eagerly asked, "Oppa, can you show me?"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhou Wenzhe with anticipation.
"Well, that's not an option for now."
"Huh? Why?"
"Because I used up a lot of energy when I came here last night, I can't recover in a short time."
Upon hearing this, Choi Sulli immediately thought of the pools of blood from last night. Only then did she realize why he was vomiting blood. A look of deep remorse immediately appeared on her face. "Oppa, I'm sorry, it's all because of me."
"Don't do that again. I can't always get there on time."
Zhou Wenzhe is still a little scared. He also wants to take this opportunity to dissuade Cui Xueli from her suicidal thoughts. In fact, if it weren't for the mission and the system's prompts, she would have really died this time.
"Hmm, I definitely won't. So, can you recover?"
"Yes, you don't need to worry."
S
"That's great! How do I recover? Can I help?"
"You don't need to worry about that, I have a way." Zhou Wenzhe glanced at Cui Xueli again. The fastest way for him to recover now was to win over Zheng Xiujing and get the elixir from the mission reward.
If Choi Sulli knew about this plan, she would definitely help, given her unconditional trust in him. However, given their current relationship, her help might backfire, so he should do it himself.
"All right."
Choi Sulli lowered her head, her mind filled with thoughts of whether Zhou Wenzhe had only said that to avoid making her feel uneasy or worried. If he had truly lost his superpowers because of her, she would never forgive herself.
"Sulli, only you know about this, so please don't tell anyone," Zhou Wenzhe said, noticing Sulli's low spirits.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Choi Sulli looked up in surprise, "Am I the only one who knows?"
"Yes, you are the first person in the world to know this secret of mine."
"I will absolutely keep it a secret."
Choi Sulli's mood instantly improved. The fact that Zhou Wenzhe was willing to tell her such a big secret meant that she was someone he could trust.
"Yes, I believe you."
Zhou Wenzhe gently patted Cui Xueli's hand, asking if she could unconditionally trust him as long as their intimacy level reached 100.
Could this be a deliberate arrangement by the system?
From this perspective, although the system often assigns him some challenging tasks, it is generally quite good to him.

back home.
Zhou Wenzhe opened the door and went in, then turned to look at Cui Xueli, who was standing hesitantly at the door. "What's wrong? Come in."
"Oppa, has Aunt really gone back?" Choi Sulli hesitated because she was worried that Zhou Wenzhe's mother would be unhappy to see her.
"Don't worry, I'll talk to my mom about our situation." Zhou Wenzhe hugged Cui Xueli tightly. He hadn't expected this girl to have such deep feelings for him, that she would make such a choice because of her mother's opposition.
"You'd better not tell your aunt. Let's just keep it a secret." Choi Sulli had made up her mind. Even if it was something she couldn't do in the open, she would never separate from Zhou Wenzhe again.
"What do you mean secretly? I'll make her accept you."
"What about Irene? What if she finds out?"
"Uh, this..." Zhou Wenzhe was speechless. If Bae Joo-hyun knew that he had other women besides Son Seung-wan, even if she wouldn't do what Choi Sulli did, she was sure she wouldn't let it go easily.
"So, let's just stay like this. I'm already content as long as I can be with you." Choi Sulli hugged Zhou Wenzhe tightly.
"I'll figure something out."
This problem isn't a big deal for Zhou Wenzhe. As long as he raises his intimacy level with them to 100, the problem will naturally be solved. It's just that it will take a while.
"Um.

Actually, Choi Sulli really wants to meet Bae Joo-beom. As for beauty, she believes she is just as good, and her figure is even more advantageous. There is also a coincidence that the two of them share the same birthday.
It wasn't that she wanted to compare or was unwilling to accept it; rather, she wanted to know what charm this older sister possessed that made Zhou Wenzhe take her home to meet his parents.
. .
Two days later, at Incheon International Airport.
Chou Tzu-yu, who had just gotten off the plane, went through customs and pushed a luggage cart toward the exit. The cart had three large suitcases on it, making it a bit difficult for her to push.
At the exit, Zhou Wenzhe saw her come out and walked over to take the luggage cart from her.
Although Tzuyu was bundled up tightly, two girls nearby recognized her as the two of them pushed their luggage cart toward the parking lot and whispered, "Hey, isn't that Tzuyu from Twice?"
"Yeah, it does look quite similar."
The two quickly took out their phones to take pictures, but because it happened so suddenly, they only managed to take one side profile picture; the rest were just their backs.
"Who's that guy next to her? Is he also a celebrity?"
"I haven't seen him before, he must be his manager."
"No way, what manager would hire someone this handsome? Doesn't JYP Entertainment worry about problems arising from this?"
"That's true. But since they dared to come to pick her up so openly, I think even if they're not her manager, they must be a staff member of JYP Entertainment, or perhaps a relative of Tzuyu."
"Hmm, that's possible."
The two girls then shared the photos they had taken in their chat group.
Sisters, do you think this girl is Tzuyu from Twice?
There happened to be a die-hard Twice fan in the chat group. Although her bias was Nayeon, she recognized Tzuyu from the only side profile photo she saw because she was so familiar with the members.
Yes, this is Tzuyu. She's back from Taiwan?
This fan has all the schedule information for the nine members of Twice, so they also know that Tzuyu went back to Taiwan for the Lunar New Year.
[It should be her. We met her at the airport. Do you know the guy next to her? Is he her manager?]
【no. 】
The fan gave a very affirmative answer, but after carefully examining the photo, she felt like she had seen him somewhere before.
Does anyone in the group know them? Are they celebrities or trainees?
I don't know him, but he's so handsome.
[Yeah, he's really handsome, and so tall! Tzuyu is already over 170cm, and she was wearing heels today, so he must be at least 190cm or taller.]
[She's too tall, she can't be an idol. I wonder if she's an actor from JYP Entertainment.]
Idols really can't be too tall, because if they are too tall, their limbs will look uncoordinated when dancing, and it will make shorter teammates look even shorter.
Therefore, in all boy bands nowadays, there are basically no members who are over 190 cm tall; most are around 180 cm tall, and a considerable number of them are exaggerating their height.
[Stop speculating. If he were a celebrity, why would he pick Tzuyu up from the airport? Wouldn't that cause rumors? He must be a JYP Entertainment employee.]
"Ah, I remember who he is." A fan suddenly posted a message in the chat group.
Who is it?
Tell me quickly!
If I remember correctly, he's Chris, the one who wrote ITZY's debut song.
[Oh? Really? He wrote "DALLADALLA"?]
How did you know?
[Because I was also on set when he filmed the music video for ITZY.]
[He directed the music video too? He's so talented! I love it!]
Given this, do you think these two might actually be dating?
If it's an idol and their manager, the chances of them dating are very low, but if it's a composer, the probability is much higher.
One is beautiful, the other is talented; they are a match made in heaven.
Moreover, this composer is not only talented, but also has a handsome appearance comparable to a male idol. Who wouldn't be attracted to him?
At this point, even that die-hard Twice fan dared not refute it, because when she looked at the photos more closely, she found that the two were indeed behaving quite intimately.
Is the maknae (youngest member) really dating?
Unexpectedly, she was the first in the group to be in a relationship, which made the other older members feel quite inadequate.
This speculation quickly began to spread among fans.
Meanwhile, Chou Tzu-yu, one of the parties involved, was asking another party for clarification.
