Xu Xian and Lin Yuer seemed to realize something was amiss as they came back to their senses, and the team members standing nearby were also stunned.
However, they soon started to criticize Lin Yuer. Lin Yuer explained that she had originally planned to send a "Happy April Fool's Day" message and reveal her identity afterward, and that she really didn't mean to cause any trouble. Seeing Lin Yuer's sincere explanation, Xu Xian's mood improved somewhat.
But looking at Lin Yuer, Xu Xian said with a serious tone, "Oppa, don't play such jokes in the future. It can easily lead to misunderstandings!"
"I know, I know, I won't do it again!" Lin Yuer quickly promised, thinking to herself that she really shouldn't play such jokes in the future. If such misunderstandings happen again, it would be hard to resolve, especially with the oppas looking at her with such wary eyes. Lin Yuer was almost in tears.
"By the way, why hasn't Hyoyeon Oppa come back yet?" Xu Xian suddenly remembered her phone and asked anxiously.
Choi Sooyoung said, "I'll go check!"
"Bang!"
"I'm back, Xiao Xian. I've already explained for you, but it seems I was a bit late. Lee Huanle has already replied to your text, but I believe she will understand after seeing my follow-up message!" Kim Hyoyeon happily returned the phone to Xu Xian and then went to the sofa to tidy up her things.
Xu Xian's heart raced as she took the phone, and she felt a bit worried. She had great respect for this senior who was like a teacher to her, especially after learning that Lee Huanle was the leader of the Peace Guardians. She even had a small sense of admiration, though she didn't know that the true founder wasn't Lee Huanle, who had been dragged in by her friends to be the spiritual leader.
The others, including Jeong Seoyeon, watched as Xu Xian looked at her phone, and they all took small steps. Lee Sunkyu stood behind, tiptoeing to see the content of the text message.
Xu Xian: "Senior, I really like you..."
Lee Huanle: "Xiao Xian, you're only eighteen, and you're an entertainer. It's too early to be in a relationship. Of course, this is definitely not a rejection of your charm. A girl as kind, upright, and pure (omitted many words) as you, I definitely like. But you should focus more on your work and studies. Aim to get into Seoul University. Work hard, and we can discuss this issue again after your coming-of-age ceremony in two years!"
Xu Xian (Kim Hyoyeon): "Senior, I'm sorry, I'm Lin Yuer. I just used Xiao Xian's phone to send you a prank message because it's April Fool's Day. I'm really sorry!"
Lee Huanle: "I understand. But this is definitely not a rejection. Don't be sad and let it affect your mood. We can discuss this issue again in two years. Study hard and make progress every day!"
...
"Cough, cough, hurry up and pack your things. The manager oppa will be here to hurry us soon!" Kim Tae Yeon coughed lightly and said, then decisively went to pack her things.
Lin Yuer walked to Xu Xian's side, a bit embarrassed, and whispered, "Maybe I should call Lee Huanle senior to explain. I'm sorry, I didn't expect her to be so... innocent!"
Xu Xian's face was red with embarrassment. She replied softly, "No need, I'll explain to the senior. Oppa, just don't play such jokes in the future!"
Lin Yuer was now very awkward. She thought that sending such a message on April Fool's Day would definitely not be believed, and she could explain it later. But she didn't expect Lee Huanle to actually believe it.
Seeing Xiao Xian with her head down and her face red, Lin Yuer felt a deep sense of guilt.
As for Kim Hyoyeon, who was sitting on the sofa, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
...
"April Fool's Day confession method, I've seen it before. I didn't expect that just through text messages, someone could fall in love. This charm..."
Back in the living room, Lee Huanle said to herself with a bit of narcissism, but she wasn't worried. From what she had learned over the past period, Xiao Xian definitely wasn't the type to prioritize love. Although her response was a bit awkward, Lee Huanle was a very decisive person when it came to feelings.
Then Lee Huanle walked to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator door with some anticipation. Why was she so excited? Of course, it was because she had given the password to her home to someone else. Besides Kang Min Kyung, there was now a third person who knew the password.
Opening the refrigerator door, Lee Huanle smiled, looking at the food neatly packed in plastic containers. She thought, "Ji Hyun is such a good person, sending you a thousand good person cards!"
Seeing a note on one of the containers, Lee Huanle curiously took it off...
"Lee Huanle!! After you eat, don't always leave these containers in the sink. Is it that hard to wash them? At the very least, can't you soak them in water? Do you not know that solidified oil is hard to wash off? If you do this again, I won't come here anymore!"
Lee Huanle touched her nose. This was the second time Ji Hyun had come to cook for her, and the note was the first time she had left one. Seeing the words, Lee Huanle felt a bit embarrassed.
"I guess I need to learn how to wash dishes!"
"Ding, you have a new message!"
"Lee Huanle, I like you!"
...
"Did you send it?"
Lee Ji Hyun and the others were sitting on the floor of the practice room. Seeing Joo Bora with her phone, they asked in surprise.
Joo Bora nodded and said casually, "What's so strange? It's April Fool's Day. That guy wouldn't believe it, right?"
"Ding!"
Lee Choujui: "Child, eat a few more years of 'beep' before discussing this with Uncle!"
"Oppa, how did Lee Huanle oppa reply?" Park Hyomin sat next to Joo Bora, curious and wanting to see the content of the message.
Joo Bora's face was a mix of embarrassment and anger, but she was too embarrassed to show the message. She could only laugh dryly, "Ha~ Ha~ That's a message from someone else, not a reply from Lee Huanle. My stomach is a bit uncomfortable, I'll go to the bathroom!"
Seeing Joo Bora leave the practice room as if fleeing, Park Injeong, sitting nearby, said softly, "Could it be that Lee Huanle oppa really believed it and rejected her?"
Lee Ji Hyun thought for a moment and laughed, "I don't think so. She probably said something annoying again. After all, Lee Huanle likes to tease Bora!"
...
"Tsk, as if I would fall for your trick!" Lee Huanle quickly replied to Joo Bora's message and then started preparing dinner.
It's worth noting that Lee Huanle treated people differently. In her view, Xu Xian, such an honest child, wouldn't play jokes. When she said she was Lin Yuer, it was probably because she was upset by her reply.
As for Joo Bora... Lee Huanle didn't hesitate for a second, firmly believing it was an April Fool's Day prank.
"I am indeed a genius!"
Lee Huanle said with a satisfied look, then happily started preparing dinner, completely unaware that a girl was standing in front of the bathroom sink, wiping her eyes.
Sometimes the truth is so complex. What you think is false is actually true, and when you think it's true, it turns out to be false.
So this proves... a man is iron, and food is steel. Without a meal, one gets hungry.
"Delicious!"
Sitting at the dining table, Lee Huanle enjoyed a happy and fulfilling dinner. A man who can have someone cook for him is truly happy, even if it's just occasionally.
After dinner, Lee Huanle returned to the computer room and started copying the movie script, thinking that after this period of hard work, she needed to take a good rest.
