Peninsula: Superpowered Daily Life

Chapter 85 Saving Choi Sulli

After changing into comfortable pajamas, Zhou Wenzhe went to the kitchen, took some fruit from the refrigerator, squeezed two glasses of mixed juice, and then took them to the media room.

After turning on the audio-visual equipment, he began selecting movies to watch from the movie library.

A short while later, Choi Sulli arrived wearing his clothes, and she had removed her makeup.

She looked much more haggard after removing her makeup, but her skin was still fair, and she had a more approachable, girl-next-door feel to it.

"Have a glass of juice to sober up first," Zhou Wenzhe said, pointing to the juice on the table and handing her the remote control. "Choose what you want to watch."

"Um."

Choi Sulli held the remote control, sipped her juice, and selected a movie. In the end, she chose a classic film, "Titanic".

"Is this okay?"

"Sure, I haven't seen this movie yet."

When this movie was released, Zhou Wenzhe was just a little kid. Although the movie was re-released and available online, he didn't have time to watch it. He only knew that the movie topped the box office for many years until Avatar came out.

"That's perfect. Actually, I haven't watched the whole thing either, just some clips."

"Is that so?"

"Okay, turn off the light."

Choi Sulli lay down on the sofa, picked up the blanket next to her, and covered herself with it.

Zhou Wenzhe turned off the light and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, Choi Sulli leaned over and rested her arm on his shoulder.

The movie then begins.

A giant cruise ship slowly revealed itself, the clamor on the dock and the excited faces of the people reflecting each other, unaware that disaster was about to strike...

In the first half of the movie, the two watched very attentively, with virtually no interaction between them.

This source material has no cuts, so some explicit scenes in the film have been preserved.

Just like the scene Jack drew for Rose in the cabin, and what happened afterward as a matter of course.

If it were a couple watching the movie together, it would be a great opportunity to flirt. However, Zhou Wenzhe and Cui Xueli are just friends, and their current posture while watching the movie is quite ambiguous, so it's a little awkward.

The following plot becomes very tense and emotional, especially the ending where Jack gives Rose the hope of survival and chooses to perish at sea.

From that moment on, the two were forever separated by life and death.

Many years later, Rose, holding the "Heart of the Ocean" in her hand, lay peacefully on her bed and passed away to another world, where she and Jack were reunited.

Zhou Wenzhe originally thought that Cui Xueli would be very moved when she saw this, but to his great surprise, she remained quite calm and only let out a soft sigh.

"Wen Zhe, do you think people really go to another world after they die?" Choi Sulli asked in a low voice.

"I think so." Zhou Wenzhe gave a sorrowful smile. He had thought about this question before, and he had once firmly believed in this hypothesis.

Otherwise, how would I explain the miraculous things that happened to me?

"What would that world be like?"

When Choi Sulli said this, there was even a hint of longing in her expression.

When Zhou Wenzhe saw her like this, his brows furrowed, a condition that, in psychology, is indicative of severe depression.

Because of the nature of their profession, entertainers often face all kinds of slander and foul language, so a considerable proportion of them suffer from mental illness.

Some people can use other methods to adjust, but others get stuck in a rut. Once this psychological problem develops to an irreversible point, it is easy to go to extremes.

Judging from Choi Sulli's condition, her psychological problems are nearing their limit.

This is quite dangerous; we need to help her adjust her mindset quickly.

Zhou Wenzhe quickly searched the system for the best treatment for depression.

The system's best treatment plan surprisingly included dating, which would allow the patient to feel loved, accepted, and needed, thus helping them gradually emerge from their repressed state of mind.

The second option is travel, but this method cannot be done alone; the patient must be accompanied by someone, otherwise it may worsen the patient's depression.

The third option is drug treatment, which is the slowest to take effect and the method that patients are most resistant to.

Which method is better?

Just as Zhou Wenzhe was considering which method to use, the system's task prompt came again.

Saving Choi Sulli

Accept or not?

Looking at the mission details, Zhou Wenzhe was somewhat shocked. The system actually said that she would end her life within the next year.

That won't do.

He absolutely cannot let this tragedy happen.

At this point, he didn't care about the reward at all and immediately accepted the task.

Drug treatment is not an option; it takes too long and there's no guarantee it will be effective.

fall in love?

But she already knows he has a girlfriend. If he confesses to her, they might not even be able to stay friends.

Find someone else?

Forget it then, who knows if this person will make her condition worse.

Then we can only use the second option provided by the system: travel.

"Shirley."

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Cui Xueli looked at Zhou Wenzhe, wondering why his tone was suddenly so gentle.

"Is there anywhere you'd like to go?"

"Huh? Why are you asking that?"

"I want to travel again, would you like to come with me?"

"Don't you have a girlfriend? Why are you looking for me? Doesn't she keep you company?" Choi Sulli asked with a hint of sourness.

"She's too busy with work and it's hard for her to find the time."

"Alright then, where are you going?"

"I haven't decided yet, and I wanted to ask if you have any places you'd like to go."

"Hmm... let me think." Choi Sulli bit her finger and started thinking about where to go.

Looking at Cui Xueli like this, Zhou Wenzhe wouldn't have believed she had such serious psychological problems if he didn't know the system wouldn't make mistakes.

After thinking for about a minute or two, Choi Sulli made up her mind, "I want to go to Africa, or Antarctica would be fine too."

"Okay, when are you free? I'll make some plans."

"I'll have time after my show is finished recording, which will be around January next year."

Two more episodes of "Jinri Shop" have been recorded.

The second phase is next month, which is November, and the third phase is from December to January of next year.

"Okay, let's set off next February. That's the best season to travel to Antarctica."

"Yes, I've seen your travel videos of your Antarctic expedition. I think you went alone back then."

"Yes, I went to all the places by myself."

"Really? How do you film your videos? That's amazing." Choi Sulli had previously thought Zhou Wenzhe had a team, but she didn't expect him to be a one-man operation.

"The footage was shot using drones, personal cameras, and some cameras that were set up in advance."

This wasn't the first time this question had been asked, so Zhou Wenzhe had already prepared an answer.

"Wouldn't that mean you'd have to carry a lot of things?"

"yes."

"Then you take this picture for me, make it look really good, and when I get back I'll show it to Ji-eun unnie and Hara unnie, they'll be so jealous, haha."

Choi Sulli's face was beaming with a happy smile. She was already imagining the stunning scenery and animals of Antarctica, as well as the surprised look on her best friend's face when she saw that she had gone to Antarctica.

"Haha, okay."

Zhou Wenzhe looked at Cui Xueli with a gentle smile, hoping that she could always keep that smile.
