Chapter 1288 Look at me
The codies all looked surprised and bewildered, but also couldn't hide their excitement and curiosity... especially Kim Eina.
Surrounded by everyone and stared at by countless eager, surprised, and expectant eyes, Zhou Ziyu felt her pores open up, as if her whole body was being wrapped in a warm net, immersed in warm water from head to toe.
The hairs on the back of my neck felt like they had been ironed with warm water, each one stretching out and bringing a slightly tingling itch.
The tips of her round ears warmed up first, the heat flowing down her neck, and even her chest, which was covered by her clothes, blushed slightly. It wasn't shyness, but a feeling of being filled with warmth, like having just drunk half a cup of warm rice wine, the warmth slowly circulating through her limbs and bones.
When I woke up in the early morning, all the fatigue and resentment I felt were swept away without me even realizing it, leaving me feeling refreshed and radiant.
That annoying Mr. Chi, he made me look like this when I woke up this morning!
"Oh, hehe."
Faced with Kim Eina's question, Chou Tzu-yu suppressed her emotions, gently brushed the long, wispy hairs by her ear, and smiled shyly, but did not say anything explicitly: "Special edition~ Maybe, my friend... just mentioned it without going into details."
As soon as she uttered those somewhat teasing words, before anyone else could react, the Twice members sitting behind her, especially Hirai Momo, immediately rolled their eyes.
"Maybe," pshaw!
Who was talking about the relationship between the "little fish zipper" and their name yesterday? If you hadn't mentioned it, how would anyone know that your name sounds like "little fish" in Chinese? Fireworks Guy is really old-fashioned; how old are you to still be doing this?
The dark-skinned maknae isn't cute at all now that she's grown up!
When the codies heard this, their expressions immediately changed.
Especially Kim Eina.
Although she had only seen the Eevee paw pad once in person, and had never seen the special edition, she had recently heard some rumors that this special edition was exclusively provided to high-end VIPs and partners, and was not sold to the public. The total stock was very limited. As far as she knew, her friend, the "rich heiress," coveted it and wanted it, but had never seen it even once.
Although the title of "chaebol" is a bit of a stretch, since real chaebols wouldn't go to this beauty salon... their strength is undeniable, definitely much greater than that of ordinary people.
Because of this lack of connection, no one else can get their hands on this special edition collaboration.
And this Chou Tzu-yu in front of me...
Whether it was Jin Yina or the stylist sisters next to her, a knowing glint flashed in their eyes, and their minds raced several times in a short period of time.
If you only manage to snag the regular edition, that's fine; at most, it's just good luck or you bought it privately. But the special edition...
Then they must have some unknown strengths or background.
They instantly realized that the seemingly pretty and innocent-looking foreign female idol with a short face was not as simple as she appeared.
Having worked with Twice for so long, they really didn't expect that the most unfathomable person was this seemingly harmless Tzuyu.
"Tzuyu, how did you get your hands on the special edition?" After a couple of seconds of processing, Kim Eina asked tentatively.
"Just a friend... helping out." Chou Tzu-yu smiled, her eyes crinkling, but the response was still perfunctory.
Although she enjoyed being photographed by these stylists, she's not stupid; of course she knows what she can and cannot say.
"..."
Seeing that Chou Tzu-yu was unwilling to talk about it, Kim Eina and the others tactfully stopped asking and quickly turned their attention back to the special edition paw pad in front of them.
This thing is extremely rare. Take a close look; you'll have something to brag about later, won't you?
"Aigoo, this color and leather are definitely better."
"Besides these few places, what other aspects are different from the usual ones?"
"Why is this zipper shaped like a little fish? Is there any purpose to it?"
The group chattered excitedly as they watched, asking questions enthusiastically, while Chou Tzu-yu smiled and answered whatever questions she could, her breathing becoming light and airy.
Why luxury goods? Why special editions?
That's exactly the kind of emotional value we're after!
However, one should not go too far and should know when to stop.
After exchanging a few words, Tzuyu took her bag back and reminded them with a smile, "Unnie, Nayeon unnie and Sana unnie are still waiting..."
These stylists are so engrossed in watching that they've left Lim Nayeon and the others waiting for several minutes.
"Oh yes, yes, Mia ne Mia ne."
Upon hearing this, the group immediately realized what was happening and quickly waved their hands while apologizing to Nayeon and the others. As Kim Eina picked up Nayeon's hair again, she turned back to Tzuyu with some reluctance and said, "Tzuyu, let's take a picture together after we're done."
"Okay Unnie."
With a sweet reply, Chou Tzu-yu returned from the crowd, glanced around, found an empty seat on the sofa, and sat down, maintaining her usual posture with her back straight.
Her choice of position was also quite interesting. To her left was Hirai Momo, and to her right was Son Chaeyoung, but they weren't standing close together; there was a little distance between them.
With her intelligence and keen perception, how could she not sense that the atmosphere within the team had been somewhat subtle these past two days?
Especially now.
Of course, she could sense some of the members' thoughts and understand their feelings... Which girl could calmly watch someone else steal the spotlight? Which girl wouldn't want to be the one in the limelight?
However... Chou Tzu-yu placed her beloved bag on her lap, gently stroking it, and occasionally touching the soft pads of her skin. Feeling the soft, springy texture of the pads, she couldn't help but grin, revealing her tiger teeth, and happily played around with them, her eyes crinkling.
never mind.
If women don't have these little thoughts among themselves, are they even women?
…………
After everyone from Twice finished getting their hair and makeup done and left, the beauty salon was quiet for a few seconds before the stylists immediately gathered together:
"I really didn't expect there to be such a talented person in Twice?"
"She said her friend helped her steal it, do you believe her?"
"Who would believe that? If it's really that amazing, why haven't I heard of it before? Which friend is so generous? The regular version is already asking for 3000 million, how much can this special edition with its high collectible value sell for? It could be hundreds of millions or even millions. Would an ordinary friend give away something this expensive?"
"This little girl is quite tight-lipped~"
"She's an idol, after all. No one in this industry is simple. She may look young, but she's got a lot of tricks up her sleeve."
"Tsk tsk, that's not easy."
"Oh right." One of the cosplayers seemed to suddenly remember something as she spoke: "Seeing this today, I suddenly remembered, do you guys remember what happened with ZICO before?"
"ZICO? Oh, I remember now, you mean the one at the beginning of the year when he said he was sick and stopped his activities, but it's said that he was actually beaten up badly and had to be hospitalized?"
"Yes, many people in the industry know about this. At the time, there were rumors that he had offended someone, such as being disrespectful to other female idols and getting reprimanded."
"I've heard about it too. It's been circulating among quite a few people, but they haven't specified who it is."
"Do you guys remember when people said ZICO was dating Twice's Tzuyu? I didn't take it seriously at the time. ZICO has a lot of connections. What could a new female idol from Twice, especially a foreign one, possibly do? But seeing this bag she has today, I'm starting to believe it..."
"I've heard of this too... Hmm, looking at it this way, Tzuyu isn't a simple girl at all?"
"He must have a powerful background."
"Nonsense, I could have let it go before, but how could I still think that way after seeing it today? Do you think an ordinary idol can get that special edition bag? Even many rich kids can't get it."
After chatting for a while, when she heard the newcomer speculating about Tzuyu's background and gossip, Kim Eina chimed in with interest. Today, she was truly impressed by this seemingly harmless maknae of Twice.
After saying a few words, Jin Yina suddenly remembered something, immediately took out her phone, dialed a number, and strode out, starting to boast as she went: "My dear, I'm telling you, you might not believe it, but you have no idea what I got today..."
The remaining two codies watched her leave, exchanged a glance, and quickly took out their phones.
…………
After getting ready last night, it was another busy day. After lunch, Twice got into the car to head to their next TV station.
In the back seat of the van, Chou Tzu-yu was sitting by the window chatting happily with Minatozaki Sana. Minatozaki Sana didn't seem to have any sour or sentimental feelings; instead, she kept chatting and laughing with Chou Tzu-yu, and kept playing with her bag, looking very interested.
"It feels amazing, softer than a pillow!"
"It feels better the more I touch it!"
"Onie~"
"Hehe, let me touch you just a little bit more."
Enjoying the soft, bouncy cushion of the special edition bag, Sana Minatozaki exclaimed with a grin, then asked curiously, "I remember Jingyuan oppa gave me several collaboration gifts, like gloves and shoes... Were they all specially made special editions?"
“I don’t know either, he didn’t tell me at the time… and I don’t know if some styles have special editions.” Chou Tzu-yu glanced ahead and said softly, “But if there are any, then it should be one.”
"Tsk, you two are really close... Didn't he tell you when he gave it to you?"
"No, he didn't bring it to me. He's been extremely busy these past few days and hasn't been in Seoul. It was his assistant, Ji-chang oppa, who brought it to me. He even texted me later to say that this bag was a special edition..."
"Not in Seoul? Well, Kyungwon oppa has been really busy these past few days. I saw news about him working in Hong Kong Island the other day..."
Sana Minatozaki nodded and pouted slightly, her bright eyes darting around as she casually asked, "If Tzuyu hadn't told us, we wouldn't have known there was a special edition of this collaboration... Did Jingyuan oppa give it to anyone else besides you?"
"I don't know either... I didn't ask."
Chou Tzu-yu gently shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.
...But in fact, she was also aware that, based on her understanding of Mr. Chi, those women must also be involved.
However, watching her constantly touching her bag and muttering "Sana Minatozaki" to herself, she suddenly felt that Sana Minatozaki had a lot of problems...
But Sana unnie has always been like this. She's usually very talkative and witty. Sometimes, even if she doesn't have much to say, she'll initiate awkward small talk. She's used to it.
While the two were chatting and laughing, Yoo Jeongyeon and Lim Nayeon, who were sitting in the front row, seemed rather quiet.
Lim Nayeon, who was also by the window, didn't seem to be in a good mood. She would occasionally sneak a peek at the two smiling members in the rearview mirror, then look out the window and unconsciously pout slightly.
"what's wrong?"
Yu Dingyan, who had been watching her every move, chuckled to herself and leaned closer to ask in a low voice.
"It's nothing~" Lim Nayeon pursed her lips slightly, trying to appear nonchalant but she couldn't quite pull it off... She's not good at hiding her feelings.
"Do you like Tzuyu's bag?" Yoo Jeongyeon whispered in his ear.
"No, not really~" Lim Nayeon shook her head in denial.
This is absolutely true. Compared to Eevee or something, she prefers Tyranitar. If Tzuyu were willing to trade her Tyranitar plushie for that paw pad, she really wouldn't.
Lim Nayeon glanced up at the rearview mirror again.
Hmph, my Tyranitar dinosaur plushie is fierce and imposing. Over the years, when the members aren't paying attention, she suddenly jumps out with the plushie, letting out a strange howl, scaring countless people in an instant. I have no idea how majestic she is.
...Although it's been used so many times, this trick isn't very effective anymore.
But she still loves it. She feels safer hugging it while sleeping at night, and when the giant dinosaur Tyranitar opens its mouth, its front teeth match her rabbit teeth so well!
Not to mention, this pillow was a gift she won through her own hard work!
Nayeon is not envious of Tzuyu's bag at all.
But... I envy that feeling, the feeling of being surrounded by people exclaiming in amazement, the feeling of having something delivered to your door before it even goes on sale.
Seeing her expression, Yoo Jeongyeon roughly understood what Lim Nayeon was thinking and couldn't help but offer a suggestion: "Hey, if you really want one, why don't you just ask Kyungwon oppa to send you one?"
"I'm not going. What's the point of wanting something for myself?"
However, Lim Nayeon frowned upon hearing this and pouted in disgust: "Besides... that way, it won't feel the same."
Indeed it is.
Although the Twice members have actually been quite envious of Tzuyu these past few days, who wouldn't want such a popular fashion collaboration in luxury leather? It would make them look more impressive when going out with friends.
What happened at the beauty salon today has perfectly proven that... Can't you see that Chou Tzu-yu is in much better spirits than everyone else?
Even so, no one in Twice went to Ji Kyung-won to ask him for anything, even though most of the members of Twice, except for a few who were not close to him, were quite familiar with him.
But still, no one spoke up.
After all, Chou Tzu-yu set a high bar, and she gave us a special edition on her own initiative. It's one thing to be envious, but to go out of your way to ask for it is just ridiculous.
No matter what, everyone still cares about their image, especially within the group.
Moreover, even if Chi Jingyuan gave it to you, it wouldn't feel the same as something you had to ask for yourself, and it would just make you look down on.
"Yes, it's really not good."
After hearing what she said, Yu Dingyan thought about it and nodded in agreement.
She looked at Lim Nayeon, who was both envious and awkward, and gently shook her head.
She had completely figured out what this older sister was thinking.
After thinking for a moment, as Lim Nayeon looked up at the rearview mirror again, Yoo Jeongyeon leaned over and whispered, "If you don't want to ask for it, why don't you just let Kyungwon oppa take you? That way it won't be a problem."
“Why would he offer to give me a ride? I only remember Tzuyu from the whole group~” Lim Nayeon pouted.
Yoo Jeong-yeon chuckled and gave her a cool eyebrow raise:
"Look at me!"
