Chapter 134: 134. Liu Xin’an: I really didn’t mean it (Thanks to all the readers who tipped! 1/5)

Although groggy, Liu Xin’an obediently returned to his own room.

After quietly staying there for ten minutes, he finally realized why Bae Juhyun had asked him to go back to his room.

Isn’t that a bit of an overreaction?

There’s still a wall between us!

What is she shy about?

Or is she worried that he might barge in?

What a joke!

Liu Xin’an felt his integrity was being doubted by Bae Juhyun, which left him somewhat helpless.

In fact, it was really Liu Xin’an who was overthinking things.

Bae Juhyun was just simply... embarrassed.

It takes a long time for girls to get ready, but since it was a hotel bathtub, Bae Juhyun didn’t use it, just showered and then started her skincare routine.

Maintaining such smooth, delicate skin at her age requires a long time of meticulous care.

After waiting in the room for about an hour, Liu Xin’an finally heard his girlfriend’s voice.

"You can come out now."

After freshening up, Bae Juhyun faced Liu Xin’an with a bright smile, her fair face blushing.

"Did you really think I was going to do something inappropriate while you were freshening up?"

Liu Xin’an’s comment made Bae Juhyun a bit stunned, but she quickly understood what he meant.

"What? Don’t think too much," she said with a laugh, patting Liu Xin’an’s arm before sitting down on the sofa and casually turning on the TV.

She definitely couldn’t understand the Chinese channels, but luckily, there was a convenient feature like screen mirroring from a smartphone.

After casting the variety show she was recently watching to the TV, Bae Juhyun raised her hand to organize her now-dry hair.

Usually, at night, she’d either tie her hair up or leave it loose... depending on what she needed to do the next day.

If it was for work, she would tie it up to make it easier to manage in the morning.

But there was no work tomorrow, so she decided not to tie her hair, just smoothing it out instead.

Her black, dense hair spread out, and the fragrance of the shampoo quickly wafted through the air.

It was then that Liu Xin’an sat down beside her.

"Aren’t you going to freshen up?"

It was late now, 10:30 PM by Huaxia time which was 11:30 PM back in their country. Normally at this time, Liu Xin’an would have already freshened up and be ready to rest.

"How can I freshen up if you don’t go back to your room?" Liu Xin’an replied cheekily.

"Ah!" Bae Juhyun exclaimed, "What are you implying!"

Liu Xin’an wouldn’t admit it. He just pretended to be dissatisfied and crossed his arms, remaining silent.

After a few seconds of silence, Bae Juhyun glanced at him.

"You..."

Liu Xin’an continued to be silent.

Bae Juhyun gave in, playfully twisting a strand of her hair in front of Liu Xin’an.

"Here, smell it."

Liu Xin’an took a deep inhale, almost like he would with his parents’ cat, then held his breath and pushed Bae Juhyun’s head away with disgust.

Bae Juhyun wasn’t sure why. Usually, he would have embraced her instead. Why today...

Could it really be because he wasn’t allowed to hear the sound of her shower, and now he was sulking?

That’s unlikely... Liu Xin’an shouldn’t be that petty.

As Bae Juhyun mulled it over, a purposely pretentious Liu Xin’an couldn’t contain himself any longer.

The main reason was that the adorably dazed expression on Bae Juhyun’s face was too irresistible.

"Alright, I’m done teasing. I’m going to freshen up now."

"Ah! You were doing it on purpose!" Bae Juhyun realized just then that he was playing with her.

Liu Xin’an laughed heartily, fending off his girlfriend’s playful punches before seizing a gap in her "attack" to plant a kiss on her tender cheeks and stood up.

He didn’t avoid Bae Juhyun while freshening up; he wasn’t that thin-skinned.

Moreover, not only did he not avoid her, he didn’t even lock the door!

Unfortunately, what he thought would irk Bae Juhyun didn’t work out as she seemed too enchanted by the variety show, and Liu Xin’an could hear her intense laughter all while he showered.

To be honest, it was really magical.

After Liu Xin’an finished his bath, he suddenly realized a somewhat serious issue.

That was that he hadn’t brought as many things into the bathroom as Bae Juhyun had prepared.

There were no change of clothes, but thankfully, there was a large bathrobe to wear.

Liu Xin’an considered for a moment that since the bathrobe was snug and he didn’t mind appearing in front of Bae Juhyun just wearing it,

so, after wrapping up in the bathrobe, he sauntered out of the bathroom in his slippers.

Upon hearing his footsteps, Bae Juhyun finally emerged from the "abyss" of her variety show. She excitedly turned her head, ready to share the story she just watched with Liu Xin’an, but upon seeing his attire, she instantly blushed.

"Ah!! Why aren’t you wearing clothes?!"

Bae Juhyun’s shout startled Liu Xin’an, who quickly looked down to make sure his bathrobe was still properly on, puzzled.

"I am wearing a bathrobe..."

Bae Juhyun lowered her head, "Does a bathrobe count? What if it falls off?"

"How could that happen? I’ve tied it, it won’t fall off."

"I don’t care! Hurry up and change, pervert!"

"...Is calling me a pervert a bit too much?" Liu Xin’an grinned, hurt by her words even though he knew she didn’t mean it.

"Hurry up!!"

Liu Xin’an shrugged, having no intention of staying longer in the living room where it was still hot, and preferred to wear less in the room.

Soon, Liu Xin’an, now dressed in a T-shirt and sports pants, casually sauntered out of the bedroom and sat down beside Bae Juhyun.

This time, Bae Juhyun seemed a bit more at ease. She frowned and glared at Liu Xin’an discontentedly.

"Did you do that on purpose?"

"Don’t slander me; I just forgot to bring a change of clothes into the bathroom."

"Oh... Then you shouldn’t hang your clothes in the bathroom!"

"I’ll hang them in my room."

Bae Juhyun was relieved, she instinctively leaned against Liu Xin’an.

Long hair cascaded over his shoulders, bringing a ticklish sensation along with its fragrance, which made Xin’an feel a bit itchy.

He reached out to scratch it, then lifted Bae Juhyun’s head with one hand and smoothed her hair with the other.

"Don’t mess it up, I like it this way."

Bae Juhyun playfully shook her head, breaking free from Xin’an’s hold, then leaned back against Xin’an’s shoulder.

Faced with Bae Juhyun’s cheeky behavior, Xin’an couldn’t really say much. He sighed and stood up from the couch.

"Want some water?"

"Mm, go get it for me."

"Alright."

Getting water was no big deal, the hotel fridge was already stocked with drinks and liquor. Xin’an took out a bottle, habitually twisted off the cap for Bae Juhyun but this time he did not twist it back on, and handed it to Bae Juhyun with the cap still loose.

However, Bae Juhyun was still focused on the TV, unaware of this.

She instinctively reached out to take the water bottle from Xin’an and, aiming to grip it securely, she clasped the body of the bottle.

"Wait..."

"Ah!"

As Bae Juhyun yelped, the bottle’s mouth sprayed out a stream of water, evenly soaking a large area of the couch.

Luckily, Bae Juhyun dodged in time, otherwise she would have gotten wet too.

Both stood at each end of the couch, synchronously looking at the wet couch and eventually both could not help but laugh.

While laughing, Bae Juhyun didn’t forget to playfully slap Xin’an.

"Why didn’t you twist it back on?"

"I thought it would be easier for you to drink, who knew you’d squeeze it first."

"I was just afraid it would slip out of my hands, haha... Now the couch is all wet, can’t sit here anymore."

Bae Juhyun regretfully glanced at the couch, though there were some chairs available, none were as comfy as the couch.

"Sorry, sorry."

"Hmph, I’m going back to sleep first. You should rest early too, aren’t you supposed to take me out tomorrow?"

Last time she had a great time wandering around Daegu, and this time she was looking forward to where Xin’an would take her tomorrow.

She reached out to gently hug her boyfriend, tiptoed and sweetly planted a goodnight kiss. Just as Xin’an was about to deepen the kiss, she pushed him away.

"Good night~"

Leaving a suggestive phrase behind, Bae Juhyun smiled, stepped back two paces and turned to go back to her room.

With a "bang", Bae Juhyun’s bedroom door closed, leaving Xin’an standing alone in the living room, touching his lips and trying to recall the sensation.

After a while, he slapped his forehead, laughed at his own foolishness, and turned to go back to his room.

But just as he was about to take a step, the still-damp couch caught his eye.

He froze in place, stared at the couch, arms crossed, deep in thought.

———

"Knock knock knock"

The knocking sound had Bae Juhyun, who had just laid down, sitting up reflexively, looking puzzled at the door.

"Xin’an?"

"Yes."

"What’s up?"

"...Open the door first, I have something to tell you."

Bae Juhyun was a bit confused by Xin’an’s reply, but without overthinking it, she casually grabbed a pillow from beside her to hold in front of her.

"I didn’t lock the door, just open it."

Indeed, she hadn’t locked the door—not that she lacked a sense of security, but she knew her boyfriend wasn’t a bad guy.

The door opened accordingly, and there stood Xin’an at the doorway, still dressed in his T-shirt and sweatpants. However, the T-shirt he was wearing was dripping with water.

The next second, Xin’an awkwardly flashed a smile.

"So... I was drinking water on the bed just now and accidentally spilled it."

"Then change your clothes...Wait, where did you say you were drinking water?"

Xin’an blinked, smiling innocently, "On the bed."

"Huh? Then your bed..."

"Uh...it’s quite wet."

Bae Juhyun was stunned, she hurriedly threw off her blankets, slipped on her slippers and walked up to Xin’an, frowning and looking him straight in the eyes.

His gaze was still as innocent and guileless as ever.

Feeling something was off, she declared, "I’m going to check."

She pushed past Xin’an, skirted around him, and headed straight for Xin’an’s bedroom.

The sight of the still-dripping wet comforter on the bed left her gaping in shock.

Is this really just drinking water on the bed?

Or is it a bath?

Realizing what Xin’an was up to, Bae Juhyun turned her head back expressionlessly and stared at Xin’an relentlessly.

Xin’an coughed awkwardly, sauntered next to Bae Juhyun.

"Do you have an extra comforter in your room? Just give me one; I’ll make do on the living room floor."

"..."

Bae Juhyun had reason to suspect that he was trying to gain sympathy, now she wanted to take back what she said earlier about her boyfriend not having ulterior motives.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Err...should I just book another room then? It’s okay, really."

"..." Bae Juhyun silently continued to watch Xin’an’s charade.

Eventually, when Xin’an moved towards the door to pick up the phone, she burst out with a curse, quickly ran up to Xin’an, grabbed his arm, and forcefully left her own teeth marks on it.

"Ah! That’s really painful."

"Bear with it!"

"Wow, I’m already this miserable, and you still bully me."

Bae Juhyun let go of Xin’an, glared at him, then huffily turned her head away, not wanting him to see the blush on her face.

"Come with me!"
