Peninsula: Superpowered Daily Life

Chapter 37 The joke went a little too far.

Zhou Wenzhe thought carefully about who he could invite to his birthday party. He didn't have many friends in Korea, just Lim Nayeon, Kim Jisoo, and Son Seungwan, maybe with Choi Sulli at most, or his relatives.

Forget about relatives, Nayeon is abroad and can't come back, so inviting Jisoo would be a bit inappropriate. And Sulli isn't that well-acquainted with them, so inviting her would be even more inappropriate.

After thinking it over, he realized that apart from Son Seung-wan in front of him, he had no one else he could invite to his birthday party.

This is so tragic.

"Have you thought it through?"

"Forget it, I'm not going to do it anyway, it's just me alone."

"What do you mean, 'alone'? I'm here too."

"Didn't you have work that day?"

"Yes, but it ended in the afternoon."

"Oh, then come over here."

"How about this, I'll ask Joohyun unnie and the others if they want to come."

"That won't be necessary."

"It's more fun with more people, so I'm just asking. If they don't want to come, then forget it."

"Okay, then let me know in advance so I can prepare the things." Zhou Wenzhe believed that Bae Joo-hyun would definitely not agree, but others might come.

"Okay, is there a gift you'd like?"

"No, you don't need to prepare anything." Zhou Wenzhe lacked nothing, and he had no material desires.

"That won't work. I'll figure something out."

"Whatever you want."

Just then, Zhou Wenzhe's phone rang. He thought it was a reply from Cui Xueli, but when he picked it up, he saw that it was from his cousin, Li Caiyan.

He opened the message she sent, and it turned out to be a reminder to watch "Produce 48" and vote for her.

Zhou Wenzhe turned on the TV and switched to M-net.

The program had just begun, and the host was speaking.

"You watch this?" Son Seungwan was very surprised that Zhou Wenzhe would watch a female talent show. Although she hadn't watched many episodes of "Produce 48", she knew that the show was very popular.

"My cousin is a contestant here, and she just messaged me asking me to vote for her."

"Cousin? Who is that?" Son Seungwan looked at the group of girls on TV.

"Lee Chae-yeon is currently a trainee at WM Entertainment."

"It's her."

"Do you know her?"

"I don't know her, but I know she used to be a trainee at JYP Entertainment and even participated in Twice's debut auditions."

"Yes, she also has a younger sister who is currently a trainee at JYP Entertainment."

"Really? How come I've never heard you mention having a cousin before?"

"I just found out myself. A few days ago, when my mom came back, she had a meal with some of our relatives, and that's when I met them."

"oh."

"If they debut in the future, you, as their senior, will have to take care of them."

Don't worry.

The two then started watching the program.

Let's watch and discuss.

With a professional like Son Seung-wan, Zhou Wenzhe had many questions answered.

However, Li Caiyan's performance in this episode was not so good. As the team leader, she only received 18 votes, while her teammates all received more votes than her, which is a bit dangerous. There are only two episodes left before the final competition.

"Seungwan, do you think Chae-yeon has the ability to debut?" Zhou Wenzhe was thinking about whether to help his cousin. There must be some behind-the-scenes manipulation in these kinds of shows, it's just a matter of spending some money.

As a small entertainment company, WM Entertainment certainly wouldn't spend too much money on trainee Lee Chae-yeon.

"Her skills are among the best of these girls, but her weaknesses are also very obvious."

"What are the drawbacks?"

"She lacks confidence, which was evident in her performance just now. She didn't fully utilize her strengths due to nervousness, and..."

"And what?"

"Don't overthink what I'm saying."

"Why are you being so cautious with me? Just tell me."

"Chae-yeon is quite pretty, but among these girls, her appearance is not the most advantageous. When it comes to audience voting, besides talent, appearance is a key factor in attracting votes. Look at those who got the most votes, aren't they all very pretty?"

"They're alright, I don't think they're that pretty." Zhou Wenzhe said honestly. Although the girls in this group were all quite good-looking, it depends on who they were compared to.

The female idols he knows now are all incredibly beautiful. Kim Jisoo, Bae Joo-hyun, Choi Sulli, Im Yoon-ah, and Im Na-yeon might be slightly less so, but they are still prettier than the female trainees from "Produce 48".

Of course, Son Seung-wan is also very beautiful, but her beauty is different from these girls. Her beauty has a sense of approachability, unlike the distance that others have.

"They are still young now, but judging from their current appearance, they will definitely be very beautiful when they grow up."

"What if he grows up to be ugly?"

"How could that be? Don't you know that South Korea has the most advanced plastic surgery industry in the world?"

"That's true." Zhou Wenzhe nodded. He had to admit that when it came to plastic surgery technology, South Korea could rank among the top three in the world, or even number one.

The cosmetic surgery industry brings South Korea an astronomical amount of revenue every year, attracting tens of thousands of foreigners who come specifically to South Korea for cosmetic procedures. This has even led to the creation of cosmetic surgery tour groups, a unique phenomenon in the world.

Zhou Wenzhe looked at Son Seungwan's face, then suddenly reached out and pinched her face, asking with a smile, "Did you have plastic surgery? Is this nose real?"

"I only had my teeth straightened, nothing else was done."

"What about them? Has Bae Joo-hyun had plastic surgery?" Zhou Wenzhe asked curiously.

"We've all had our teeth straightened, and then had some minor adjustments made."

"Minor adjustments? Isn't that just plastic surgery? And you're making it sound so nice, haha."

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. We just made the double eyelids more obvious, and slightly adjusted the eyebrows and lips. We didn't do any surgery at all."

"Okay, fine, if you've had the surgery, then go ahead and do it. Why explain so much? As long as you look pretty, that's all that matters." Zhou Wenzhe didn't mind if a girl had plastic surgery. Loving beauty is a woman's nature. No one is born perfect, as long as it's not a complete makeover.

"Hmph, it's a shame you're not an entertainer with that face." Son Seungwan cupped Zhou Wenzhe's face in her hands. Each of his features was very handsome on its own, and they looked even better together. Most importantly, they were all original, without any alterations.

"Hehe, envious, aren't you? Want to get it done like mine?"

"Get lost!" Son Seung-wan punched Zhou Wenzhe, then said, "Do I have to get plastic surgery to become a man?!"

"Haha, look... if you cover your head, who can tell if it's a man or a woman?"

Zhou Wenzhe smiled and pointed to Son Seungwan's chest. This kind of joke is only made by very close friends.

Otherwise, we would definitely break off the friendship on the spot and never see each other again.

Sun Shengwan was dumbfounded. She stared incredulously at the spot Zhou Wenzhe was pointing at, her face instantly flushed with anger and shame. She shouted, "Hey! Zhou Wenzhe! I'll bite you to death!"

Then, she actually took a bite.

"Oh no!" Zhou Wenzhe thought to himself, realizing that this joke had gone a bit too far.
