Peninsula: My cheat code is unscientific

Chapter 33 The knocking sounded again.
"Holy crap!" Jiang Che jumped up in surprise. "Judging from the previous little movements, the transformation was equivalent to copying the original owner's body, so the little movements and voice also came along!"

He rubbed his hands excitedly, like a novice who had just acquired a peerless sword and couldn't wait to test its power.

But when he sang the later songs, he couldn't keep up with the breath, and there was no emotion in his singing! "Sure enough, there's no such thing as a free lunch. You can have the talent but not the skills; you have to learn the techniques and the emotions yourself." Jiang Che sighed deeply again. "Oh well, the focus isn't on singing anyway."

He strained to recall the complete song "I," but no matter how hard he tried, he could only remember parts of it, and the fragmented memories were far from enough to piece together the whole song. "Ugh—so annoying!" he irritably scratched Taeyeon's head.

"Sigh..." He sighed again. "Forget it, you can't force a relationship."

However, his frustration lasted no more than three seconds before he immediately cheered up again.

"Hey, forget it if you can't remember! Anyway, we said back then that if anyone wanted to kill or torture me, Yun'er, uttering a single word would be considered a disgrace. What does it have to do with me, Jiang Che?" The more he thought about it, the more sense it made, and his smile gradually became wicked.

My mood instantly brightened, and another idea popped into my head: if I can't handle Taeyeon's songs, what about Yoona's? Singing Yoona's songs with Taeyeon's voice... that combination sounds amazing!
He immediately went to the study, found the guitar he had seen before, picked it up, and started singing Yoona's Future song. He was surprised by his own performance after finishing the song.

"Wow... so Yoona's songs really can be sung by anyone with a good voice," Jiang Che said, both amused and exasperated. "It seems Yoona will have to rely on her acting skills to make a living in the future."

He tried hard to recall other popular songs, but no matter how hard he tried, he could only hum a few lines. "Sigh... it's really too much to ask someone like me, a club-goer, to think about these things..."

He sighed again, "Forget it, let's think about movies and TV shows instead."

Jiang Che began to ponder those hit Korean dramas and movies from his past life: "Goblin! The first encounter on Maple Leaf Avenue, the male lead slowly walking towards us under a black umbrella, Kim Go-eun's radiant smile; and the male lead pulling out that burning giant sword... 'So incredibly cool!'"

He slapped his thigh excitedly, but... he couldn't remember how the plot connected, how the male protagonist broke the curse, or what the envoy did.

PASS! "The Squid Game! Wooden Man, Doll Turning Head, Glass Bridge, but why did the protagonist participate? Who is the mastermind behind it all? How did the ending unfold?" Jiang Che scratched Taeyeon's head again in frustration.

PASS again! "Parasite! Oscar!" Rich and poor, a basement flooded by torrential rain... class conflict. Then what happened next? What was the ending again? Jiang Che felt like his brain's CPU was about to burn out.

Just when he was questioning the meaning of life.

"Knock, knock, knock! Knock, knock, knock!" A knocking sound rang out on the door.
Jiang Che froze instantly, the memory of bumping into Taeyeon last time he opened the door flooding back! Could it be her again this time?!

He held his breath and tiptoed to the door, pressing his eyes against the peephole.

Standing outside the door was a man towering over everyone else, casually dressed, with a slightly goofy look on his face—Lee Kwang-soo!

A string of question marks flashed through Jiang Che's mind instantly, "??? Lee Kwang-soo??? Why is he here? To see Yoona? Are he and Yoona that close?"

Jiang Che touched Taeyeon's face, thinking it best to avoid trouble, and decided to play dead. As long as the door wasn't opened, no one would be home. Perfect!
But Lee Kwang-soo outside the door was clearly a persistent guy. "Knock knock knock! Yoona! Yoona, are you home? Yoona, open the door!" Lee Kwang-soo's voice came through the door, carrying that characteristic shouting quality of variety shows.
"I clearly heard something inside! Please open the door! Something amazing is happening! Something incredibly good is coming your way! What happened that you didn't answer the phone or open the door?"

A voice?! Jiang Che's scalp tingled. He remembered how he had just yelled those lines of Yoona's song in Taeyeon's voice, and he felt like he was doomed!

Jiang Che felt like he was about to explode: "Lim Yoona! Is your phone a brick?! Is it just for decoration?! Last time it was the same, and this time it's the same! If you don't want it, donate it to someone who needs it!!! And this Lee Kwang-soo too!"

In my past life, I thought his idiocy on "Running Man" was just for show, but it turns out this guy really is idiotic?! A normal person knocks on the door and if no one answers, shouldn't they just leave?! Why keep knocking and shouting?! You're not the neighborhood committee checking household registers!!

Lee Kwang-soo, standing outside the door, showed no sign of giving up, and the knocking intensified: "Yoona? Yoona? You're really not here? Then I'll keep knocking! I know you're in there! I heard you!..."

Jiang Che was driven to distraction by this "idiot Li" and was about to call Yoona when—

"Dingling bell~Dingling bell~"

The sound startled Jiang Che, who looked down and saw that it wasn't his phone.

The bell was ringing from outside the door!
Jiang Che was somewhat relieved to hear the phone ringing from outside the door. "If I call him, he should have left by now."

"What? Yoona?" Lee Kwang-soo answered the phone, his voice filled with confusion. "Aren't you home?!"

Jiang Che, inside the door, was completely stunned. "Lin! Yun! A! You really donated the phone, please!"

Even the usually shrewd Yoona was a little stunned when she heard this on the other end of the phone, her voice filled with astonishment: "Oppa, where...are you?"

Lee Kwang-soo casually said, "I'm at your doorstep."

Yoona's voice was clearly tense and incredulous: "Kwangsoo oppa? You...where are you? At my doorstep?"

"Yeah!" Lee Kwang-soo's voice was incredibly loud, without any hesitation. "I called you before but no one answered, so I came upstairs to look for you. I heard some noises inside, but no one answered the door when I knocked. Are you home or not?"

Hearing this, Jiang Che, who was inside the door, broke out in a cold sweat. "It's over, it's over! I didn't coordinate my story with Yoona. If Yoona lets Lee Kwang-soo leave directly, won't Lee Kwang-soo think Yoona's family is Lee Seung-ji?!"
Thinking of this, Jiang Che suddenly opened the door.

After opening the door, Jiang Che forced a sweet, innocent smile, tinged with surprise and embarrassment. "Oppa?"

Outside the door, Lee Kwang-soo, who was talking to Yoona on his phone, was shocked when he saw Kim Tae-yeon open the door.
"Tae...Taeyeon?!" he blurted out in shock. "What are you doing at Yoona's house?!"
On the other end of the phone, Lim Yoona clearly heard Lee Kwang-soo's earth-shattering words, "Taeyeon?! What are you doing at Yoona's house?!" Her hand gripping the phone tightened suddenly, and she subconsciously looked at Taeyeon, who was sitting not far away from her, looking down at her phone!
Yoona felt like her heart was about to stop again. So, Lee Kwang-soo caught that imposter in the house again?! That brat is really something else! How dare he open the door?!
