Chapter 36

"Here, OPPA, I've wrapped this up for you."

Taking the wrapped grilled meat from Park Hyo-min, Liu Zaitian stuffed it into his mouth and started chewing, then gave her a thumbs up.

As they ate and chatted, with Liu Zaitian's continuous conversation, he and the few girls became more familiar, and the sense of distance gradually disappeared. Although it was impossible to become close friends right away, they were basically considered ordinary friends.

"OPPA Zaitian, can I ask you a question?"

Suddenly, Park Ji-yeon mustered up the courage to ask Liu Zaitian.

"Sure, as long as I can answer, I will definitely tell you." Seeing her expression, he knew she wouldn't be asking something simple, but Liu Zaitian still smiled and responded.

"That... when do you think we will debut?" Although she had only recently joined the company, the rumors she heard from the seniors around her made her somewhat anxious. Taking this opportunity, Park Ji-yeon finally voiced her question.

At this moment, Han Eun-jung, who had been sitting there, straightened up. Compared to the others, she, who had been waiting at JS for two years, was more concerned about this issue.

"Then, do you think you have the ability to debut now?" After taking a sip of tea, Liu Zaitian slowly put it down and gently asked Park Ji-yeon. "In the past two years, if you say there were no trainees in the company who could become artists, that would be a lie. However, the company did not launch any artists, not because they lacked ability, but because they did not want to."

"Let me put it this way, JS was established by pooling a part of the resources from the CJ Group, like a castle in the air. Although it is glorious, it lacks a foundation. President Kim Sung-woo spent two years building a solid foundation. And... this foundation has now been completed." Looking at the three girls in front of him, Liu Zaitian's voice, though not loud, had a convincing charm.

"Now, do you understand what I mean? So, I will ask again, you... do you have the ability to debut now? Remember, as a company with many resources, once JS launches an artist, it will not tolerate failure."

"That, OPPA Zaitian, we understand. We will definitely practice hard and reach the debut standard as soon as possible." With the foundation already laid, it meant that only trainees with the ability to debut were needed. Although they didn't know the specific standards for the debut ability, with this hope, Han Eun-jung felt her originally restless heart gradually calm down.

"Alright, you can tell the other trainees this when you go back. After all, there's no need to keep it a secret. As for now, let's continue eating the meat."

In the following time, Liu Zaitian told the three girls various interesting stories about his filming of "Infinite Challenge." By the time the meal was over, their relationship had improved even more.

In the evening, after sending Park Hyo-min and the other two, who were still preparing to practice, back to the company, Liu Zaitian drove home alone.

Liu Zaitian's parents were still sitting in the living room watching TV, which was broadcasting the variety show "Infinite Challenge" that he had planned and Liu Jae-jun had hosted.

Today's episode was a special program they had filmed before going to New Zealand, titled "Summer Special." As for the New Zealand special they had just filmed, it would be broadcast at the earliest on the next Saturday evening.

"Zaitian is back." Seeing Liu Zaitian open the door and walk in, his mother said happily. Although Liu Zaitian spent most of his time at home because he had no other shows besides "Infinite Challenge," his mother still felt she couldn't get enough of him.

"Um." After changing his shoes at the door, he walked directly to the sofa where his mother was sitting and sat down.

"By the way, someone came to look for you today, saying they were from KBS. But since you weren't home, I sent them away." After a while, his mother seemed to remember something and suddenly said to Liu Zaitian.

"KBS?" Liu Zaitian was a bit puzzled. He didn't remember having any connection with KBS.

"Um, they said they were from the KBS Entertainment Department, but I saw that guy had a shifty look, and he didn't seem like a good person, so I found an excuse to send him away." His mother nodded and said.

"Oh, then forget about it. I don't have any connection with them anyway." Since they had already been sent away, Liu Zaitian didn't think about it further and continued watching TV with his parents.

At night, with nothing to do, Liu Zaitian went to bed early, but he didn't sleep. Instead, he picked up a book and started flipping through it.

Ding... ding...

"Xiu-ying, what's up?" Picking up the phone and seeing the name displayed, Liu Zaitian answered directly.

"OPPA! Can't I call you when I have nothing to do?" On the other end, Choi Soo-young's voice came through instantly.

"Of course you can, but it seems like every time you call me, it's because you need something! The first time was to ask me to cook, the second time to buy something for you, the third time because you were busy and asked me to pick up your mail, and the fourth time..."

"Alright, OPPA, why are you, a big man, so picky with a little girl like me?"

"Go on, what do you want me to do this time?" Hearing Choi Soo-young's childish interruption, Liu Zaitian smiled and said.

"Hehe O(∩_∩)O~, OPPA~~~" She laughed awkwardly and then called out sweetly, "OPPA!"

"Stop! I'm getting goosebumps all over the floor. Just tell me what you want, as long as I can do it."

"Hehe (*^__^*), in a few days, it will be Eun-jung's birthday, so I want to invite you to come and celebrate with us." Although her coquettishness was interrupted by Liu Zaitian, Choi Soo-young was still in a good mood.

"Sure, tell me the time, and I'll come over."

"No, you have to come a bit earlier, OPPA."

"Earlier?" Why did he have to come earlier? Suddenly, Liu Zaitian's mind flashed, and his smile turned into a wry one, "Oh! You're not planning to make me cook for you, are you?"

"Good~~ not~~ good~~, OPPA~~~" Seeing this, Choi Soo-young continued to coo.

"Alright, alright, just send me the time, and I'll definitely come 'early' that day."

Finally, ignoring Liu Zaitian's slightly resentful voice, Choi Soo-young happily hung up the phone.

At this moment, in the dormitory where Choi Soo-young was, as the call ended, several girls who had been eavesdropping at the door quickly returned to their original positions.

"Alright, everyone, relax, the communication is complete! I've always said that OPPA Zaitian will definitely agree to come and cook for us, so don't worry." Opening the door, she looked at the people sitting in front of the TV and confidently patted her chest.

However, sitting on the sofa, Lim Yoon-a suddenly hugged the person next to her, Quan Yu-li, and said in a coquettish voice, "No, you have to come a bit earlier, OPPA."

And Quan Yu-li also used a very coquettish tone to say, "Good~~ not~~ good~~, OPPA!"

"Oh! You were eavesdropping on the call!" Although it was just a simple two sentences, after Lim Yoon-a and Quan Yu-li's performance, it was a passionate scene. Even the always declaring that she would get married before 24, Choi Soo-young, blushed involuntarily.

Next, there was naturally a burst of laughter. However, at this moment, Choi Soo-young, who was already furious, directly started to suppress Lim Yoon-a, who was the most mischievous.

Thus, a war had already begun in the small dormitory, and the spectators were naturally Zheng Xi-ka, Park Eun-jung, and Kim Hyo-yun, who had already grabbed their popcorn.
