[Quick Transmigration] Reverse strategy

The activities of NCT127 continued until late at night.

The next day was a rare rest day, Pei Youli planned to sleep in, go to school to submit an assignment to the tutor, and find change for dinner.

But things backfired, a phone call disrupted her plan.

It's Park Hee Young.

It must be nothing good for a senior in the workplace to call during the holidays.

Pei Youli hesitated for a long time, but when the phone was about to be disconnected, she still picked it up.

"senior?"

"Well, you Li? Are you busy today?"

"It's a bit busy, the school has something to deal with."

"Can you take time to go to the company? Check the clothes and accessories needed for tomorrow's recording."

The clothes that the artist will wear for each event are already determined, including who will wear which and what accessories to match. There is a clear plan.

"Are you in a hurry?"

"Don't worry, there shouldn't be anything missing, I just want to make sure."

"Then... I'll go to the company in the afternoon."

"Thanks a lot."

It was exactly 7:04 when the phone hung up.

Pei Youli covered the quilt and sighed, it's really unlucky to go to the company in just one day off.

But... To become SM's chief stylist, she has to go step by step.

The most basic conversion requires not only Bai Zhiya's performance evaluation, but also a vote from a fellow stylist.

Pei Youli tossed and turned for a while, and then reluctantly got up from the bed, but then, she discovered an even more unfortunate thing - her menstrual period just happened to come.

The bright red color gave Pei Youli a premonition that today would be extremely difficult.

After stepping into the SM building, this premonition became a reality——

The brooch that was going to be worn on Kim Do-yeong's clothes disappeared.

Pei Youli searched through the room where the clothes were kept, but she didn't even see the broken diamonds on the brooch.

She looked for a few more commonly used offices, but still found nothing, and finally had no choice but to call Park Xiying.

"Did it land in the children's dormitory?"

There are usually illegitimate children who stay around the idol dormitory for a long time, so it is not good for her to go there rashly.

Pei Youli contacted NCT127's manager, Jiang Shibin.

He didn't live with the members, and when he heard about it, he sent her the address of the dormitory directly, and made an appointment to meet downstairs first.

Pei Youli arrived early and waited for a long time in the cold wind.

A few young girls stood on the lawn not far away, raising their cameras from time to time to focus on the upstairs. She looked in the direction, and the curtains were tightly drawn.

"drop--"

The sound of the car horn startled Pei Youli.

Jiang Shibin parked the car on the side of the road, raised his fingers to the girls, and said something before getting out of the car and walking towards her.

"Have you eaten at noon?"

"Not yet, not too hungry."

In fact, it is because I have no appetite during the menstrual period.

"If you're not hungry, you need to pack something. You can't eat on time when you work, and you still..."

Pei Youli raised her eyes and smiled, the tip of her nose that was not covered by the scarf was red, her eyelashes were curved and long, flickering.

Jiang Shibin took a few more glances and sighed inwardly.

I heard... this kid has a boyfriend.

When he arrived at the floor where the members were, he entered the password. The room was pitch black, and a few pieces of clothing were randomly thrown on the sofa.

"Maybe I slept too late yesterday and didn't get up yet," Jiang Shibin looked at the photo of the brooch and whispered, "Sit down first, I'll look for it."

Pei Youli nodded.

She was the only one left in the living room, and the too quiet environment made her heart palpitate inexplicably.

Pei Youli took out a piece of chocolate from her bag.

After a while, the phone vibrated suddenly, it was still Park Xiying.

"Youli, where are you?"

"...127's dormitory."

"It shouldn't be there. The brooch was sent by the brand just last month, and the children haven't brought it yet."

Pei Youli: Why didn't you say it earlier... She made a trip in vain.

"Maybe it was used by another combination, or the staff lost it? I will contact the brand later, and you can get another one." Park Xiying's tone was rarely apologetic, "I'm sorry, Xiao Li, to trouble you. "

Footsteps sounded on the stairs.

Pei Youli thought it was Jiang Shibin, but when she looked up, it was Li Tairong.

He was wearing nothing but a pair of baggy knee-length shorts, revealing his lean muscles and sleek arms.

Pei Youli was stunned for three seconds, then lowered her head: "I see, Miss Xiying, please send me the address."

Li Tairong didn't react at first, thinking that he had hallucinations because he hadn't woken up. Hearing her voice, he suddenly came back to his senses.

He immediately turned around and returned to the room.

"Morning..." Pei Youli, who wanted to say hello, only saw someone's back passing by.

A few minutes later, it was Jiang Shibin who came back.

"I didn't find it, how about..." He thought for a while, "I'll send you to the company, so you can look for it carefully?"

"I won't go to the company anymore, I'll go directly to the store to get another one," the girl stood up politely, her voice soft, "I'm sorry for your trouble, Brother Shibin."

Jiang Shibin followed behind her: "Where is the store? I'll take you there."

Pei Youli opened the phone, her eyes fixed on the screen.

The address written on the text message is about two hours away from here by car.

"...It's a bit far away, I can just take a taxi by myself, it's finally a holiday, you should rest." Pei Youli declined.

Jiang Shibin didn't insist anymore, watching her hesitate to speak.

"That...You Li."

"Ok?"

"...Don't be too sincere." Jiang Shibin still said more.

Pei Youli was startled, then smiled: "I know."

The moment the elevator closed, he heard a very sincere "thank you".

Back in the dormitory, Jiang Shibin saw an extra person in the living room.

Li Tairong stood on the small stairs neatly dressed.

"Wake up so early?"

He answered irrelevantly: "Youli came just now?"

"Have you seen it?"

"Ah."

"I lost something, she came to look for it."

"Ah...that's it." Li Tairong concealed his disappointment and sat down on the sofa.

"Isn't there people rushing to ask for the top students of Seoul University? I don't know why they suffer with us..." Jiang Shibin opened the refrigerator and paused, "But it's the same everywhere. Alright... the little girl's face is flushed from the cold, she looks pitiful..."

Li Tairong frowned.

Is this brother a little too concerned about her?

Suddenly, his sight fell on a trash can not far away, where a familiar chocolate package was lying quietly.

She didn't eat again.

"Didn't you just buy your clothes a few days ago?" Jiang Shibin planned to fry some eggs for the children who didn't get up, "Where are you going?"

There was a bit of inquiry in his eyes, like a parent worried about their child's puppy love.

Li Tairong replied calmly: "Go to the company's composition room."

Jiang Shibin: ... Another person who has to go out to work, is he the only one who wants to lie flat during the holiday?

the other side--

After more than two hours of drowsy driving, Pei Youli finally arrived at the store that Park Xiying mentioned.

When the waiter heard that she belonged to SM, he immediately understood why she came.

"This brooch is a limited edition, and the quantity is not large. The last time it was given to your company, this time I can only borrow it."

Maybe it was because she was really cold, so he handed over a cup of hot tea: "Although we also have a store in downtown Seoul, this is the only one left for this brooch, thank you for making a trip."

Pei Youli took a sip of hot water first, then opened the box to have a look, the brooch was obviously new, colorful under the light.

"It's us who should thank you for being able to help."

The waiter smiled: "We often work with SM, especially Ms. Bai, she called just now."

Miss Bai?Why is it Miss Bai?

Pei Youli froze.

Almost instantly, she figured out the whole story.

It was Bai Zhiya who called the brand.

That is to say, Park Xiying pushed the things that sister Ji Ya originally entrusted to her to herself, and also acted as a "dutiful" middleman in it.

If it wasn't for the waiter's extra politeness, she and sister Zhiya would have been kept in the dark.

Pei Youli's abdomen began to ache again.

But there were strangers in front of her, so she could only force a smile: "Thank you, I will definitely send it back when it is used up tomorrow."

Pei Youli returned the disposable paper cup filled with hot water to the waiter and bowed politely.

After going out the door, the cold wind rushed into the neckline again, the tip of her nose felt inexplicably sour, and even her eye sockets seemed to be covered with a layer of moisture.

Pei Youli waved to the road, tears fell down uncontrollably, and fell on the scarf, feeling cold to the touch.

It is relatively remote and there are not many people coming and going.

Occasionally, someone would give her a strange look, but Pei Youli had no time to take care of it.

After a long time, a taxi stopped in front of him.

She immediately wiped away her tears with a scarf and returned to her usual appearance.

It was almost evening when Pei Youli arrived at the SM building.

She mechanically entered the door, got on the elevator, put the brooch into the item box... and finally sat on the ground without a trace.

My stomach hurts, my waist hurts, and I don't want to get up.

Why can't Zero One add a "teleportation" superpower to her?

Pei Youli buried her head on the box and stayed quietly for a while.

"Boom boom boom——"

Someone knocked on the door.

Pei Youli cheered up and looked towards the door.

It was someone completely unexpected - Li Tairong.

He was wearing a black sweater, tall and deep-eyed, thin and handsome. When he saw her looking up, he smiled very warmly: "It really is you."

Pei Youli straightened her messy hair: "Aren't you..."

Dorms.

Could it be that he is the one who teleports?

Her voice was extremely low, and she looked weak as if she was sick.

"Are you uncomfortable?" Li Tairong suddenly worried.

"No." Pei Youli blushed.

He wanted to reach out to feel the temperature of her forehead, but felt that such an action was too intimate and disrespectful, so he finally withdrew his hand.

"What do you come to the company for?"

"Miscellaneous."

The joke-like words summed up her current situation.

Li Tairong laughed softly.

It turns out that she also complains and loses her temper.

"Take you to dinner?"

"Where to go?"

"anywhere is fine."

"How about...just stay at the company, I haven't eaten at the company yet." Pei Youli recalled Li Tairong's sensitive identity.

Li Tairong stared at her for a few seconds, then compromised: "It's okay... I still have a lot of points that are useless."

SM has its own restaurant, and every employee can get points for consumption every month.

"I don't have any points yet."

"I invite you."

"Thank you, I'll treat you to something else another day." Pei Youli agreed very simply.

She wanted to stand up holding the box, but after sitting for too long, her legs felt numb and she almost fell down.

Li Tairong quickly reached out to support him: "Are you really okay? Do you want to go to the hospital..."

"It's okay." Pei Youli shook her head, after getting used to it for a while, she gently broke away from his hand, "Aren't you in the dormitory?"

"Come out to compose." Li Tai didn't change his face.

"..." Pei Youli said softly, "You have comforted me."

Li Tairong laughed.

The two walked slowly side by side, and when they arrived at the restaurant, they found a seat in the back.

Tuna bibimbap, golden pork chops, light beef noodles, hot coffee...he ordered a bunch.

Now it's time for lunch, and there are staff and trainees coming to eat one after another.

Pei Youli was wearing a pale pink plush sweater and a light-colored knitted dress. Her combed ponytail revealed a smooth milky white swan neck. It was clean and tidy with a soft and charming taste, attracting countless attention.

"It smells delicious."

"It's also delicious to eat."

Pei Youli drank a few mouthfuls of noodle soup first.

The taste is not heavy, very fresh, which whetted her appetite.

Sitting opposite Pei Youli, Li Tairong watched her eat intently, only moving his chopsticks once in a while.

He didn't know why he waited for her all afternoon at the company.

But just now... when he found her curled up in a ball in the room, he suddenly understood.

"Thank you, Tyrong."

Li Tairong came back to his senses, and gave a light "um", his beautiful eyes were like glass beads.

Pei Youli's cell phone vibrated again, it was a message from Park Xiying: Did you get it?

She put down her chopsticks and tapped the screen twice, and a photo of the brooch intact appeared in the dialogue between the two.

Then, Pei Youli sent the same photo to Bai Zhiya.

[Sorry, sister Zhiya, I sent it to the wrong person. 】

Park Xiying and Bai Zhiya replied "hard work" one after another.

"You don't like coffee?" Li Tairong looked at her untouched cup.

"Bitter," Pei Youli pushed with her fingertips, a little disgusted, but then, she found that this thing could have another purpose, "It's good to warm your hands."

Li Tairong: ...

Her fingers were slender and fair, but her knuckles were slightly pink.

He stared at it for a while, and took a sip of the iced Americano.
