Chapter 135: 135. "Just holding it, huh..." (Thanks to all the book friends for the tips! 2/5)

Lying in the same bed with someone of the opposite sex that she liked was something Bae Juhyun had never even imagined.

But now that scene was about to happen.

"Ah?"

Liu Xin’an was still playing dumb, scratching his cheek and putting on an embarrassed expression.

"This isn’t good, I’m really okay, just give me a blanket..."

"First go change out of your wet shirt."

"Oh..."

Liu Xin’an obediently nodded, turned around, and went into his own room, and soon came out with a pure white T-shirt on.

He was the kind of person who suited light-colored clothes very well, with fair skin, and a refreshing air about him, white suited him just fine.

Bae Juhyun glanced at her handsome boyfriend and sighed, folding her arms across her chest.

"Tell me honestly, did you do it on purpose?"

"Eh? On purpose? What on purpose?"

Liu Xin’an’s face was the picture of innocence, but the slight upward curl of his lips still revealed his true feelings.

Okay, he did it on purpose!

It’s not that he had been plotting to take advantage of Bae Juhyun all along.

It was just that he had recently come across a few videos of Bae Juhyun oversleeping on a show.

Honestly, he was smitten by the sight of his girlfriend nestled in bed in a tiny ball.

Cute not to mention, just one look at her peaceful sleeping face and he couldn’t help but feel his heart flutter.

The sofa that got wet with water today provided him a direction.

He was very "careless" in spilling water on the bed, he definitely did not directly pour water onto it.

Definitely not!

Bae Juhyun wasn’t blind; she saw this guy sneaking a laugh.

So, she had reason to believe that, even if she really let Liu Xin’an sleep on the floor or opened another room, he would definitely wet the bed again.

She did consider competing with this guy’s financial resources versus the number of vacant rooms at this hotel.

But on second thought, it seemed like a stupid thing to do.

The guy practically had his motive written all over his face... what could she do?

She couldn’t actually watch him being shut out, pitifully huddled on the ground for a night’s sleep.

This guy has work the day after tomorrow!

She had been manipulated, thoroughly schemed against by her own boyfriend!

Realizing this, Bae Juhyun gave this guy another resentful glance and eventually walked towards her own room.

But she didn’t close the door as before; instead, she left a crack open.

"If you dare to do anything, I’ll definitely kill you!"

She issued a dry threat and climbed onto the bed herself using hands and feet, taking up a spot closer to the inner side of the bed.

Then, Liu Xin’an pushed the door and entered, still wearing a grateful smile on his face.

"Thank you, Juhyun. I swear I won’t do anything."

"Don’t just swear." Bae Juhyun, leaning against the headboard, looked around and then spotted a pillow.

She pouted at the pillow, signaling Liu Xin’an to bring it to her.

After Liu Xin’an handed the cushion to her, Bae Juhyun positioned it across the middle of the bed.

Thankfully, the master bedroom had a very large double bed, which could easily accommodate both of them.

Moreover, she was quite petite and wouldn’t take up much space.

"If you cross this line, I’ll kick you off."

Her tiny feet peeked out from under the blanket, her rounded and smooth toes curled upward adorably.

Liu Xin’an quickly gestured his innocence with his hands.

Then, Bae Juhyun felt the bed beside her dip slightly.

The difference in physique between men and women became apparent; Bae Juhyun’s expression showed a moment of panic, but upon realizing that the person beside her was Liu Xin’an, her violently trembling heart gradually calmed down.

Bae Juhyun slowly settled herself down, shrinking into the blanket, only her beautiful eyes cautiously observing the man lying beside her.

"Liu Xin’an."

Liu Xin’an, who had been looking at the ceiling, turned to look at her; his handsome features carried a mix of confusion and tenderness.

This made Bae Juhyun quickly huddle into the blanket, leaving just her jet-black hair spread out on the pillow.

The room quieted down, and after a minute, Bae Juhyun cautiously emerged from under the blanket only to see Liu Xin’an’s handsome face again.

"Ah!"

Bae Juhyun was startled – not because he was making any strange expression, but because she didn’t expect him to remain in the same position as before, unchanged.

The shrill scream also gave Liu Xin’an a fright, and he quickly sat up.

The movement from his getting up caused Bae Juhyun to think he might lose control, so she continued to hide under the blanket, not daring to come out.

After a few seconds, Liu Xin’an’s somewhat awkward voice finally sounded.

"Uh... I’ll just go sleep outside then. You sleep, don’t mind me."

Before Bae Juhyun could gather her thoughts, she heard the sound of the door closing.

Now, she was panicked. She quickly crawled out from under the blanket and looked around, indeed not seeing any sign of Liu Xin’an.

In her flurry, Bae Juhyun didn’t bother to put on shoes; she hurriedly stepped barefoot onto the warm floor. The room’s floor heating meant it wasn’t very cold, so to suggest Liu Xin’an sleep on the floor... seemed to be no issue.

Uh... That’s not the point right now.

Quickly opening the bedroom door, Bae Juhyun went to the living room and immediately saw Liu Xin’an standing by the sofa, frowning.

"Hey!"

Her call was heard by Liu Xin’an.

Liu Xin’an turned and looked at Bae Juhyun, tilting his head.

"What’s the matter?"

"...Come in."

She took a deep breath, trying hard to keep her expression from seeming strange, and spoke softly.

"Uh... you’ll be very uneasy sleeping on the same bed, but I’m really fine. The floor heating is quite warm, and I just need to find something to cover with."

Bae Juhyun said nothing, instead walking barefoot to Liu Xin’an and forcefully pulling him towards her bedroom.

With some tugging and pulling, Liu Xin’an was brought back by Bae Juhyun.

She first pushed Liu Xin’an down where he was sleeping earlier, feeling annoyed, then clambered onto the bed herself and burrowed back into the covers.

Since she hadn’t been away long, the bed was still warm and cozy.

She tossed her blanket towards Liu Xin’an’s side; after all, the blanket was big enough to cover both of them.

She had simply forgotten about this earlier.

"Juhyun..."

"Stop, I’m already sleepy. Turn off the light, will you?"

"Oh, okay."

With a "click," the room plunged into darkness.

In the quiet bedroom, aside from the even breathing of the two people, there was only the occasional sound of clothes rustling.

After a while like this, Bae Juhyun, who had been lying awake in the darkness, slowly turned her head to look at Liu Xin’an, who was still lying on his back.

She murmured softly with her pink lips, taking a moment to think before she finally spoke.

"Are you asleep, Liu Xin’an?"

Her voice was so soft, as if she feared waking him up, that if you didn’t listen carefully, you might not even hear it.

But of course, Liu Xin’an had not fallen asleep.

For Bae Juhyun, this was the first time she had shared a bed with the opposite sex, and for Liu Xin’an, wasn’t it the same?

Well... he had shared a bed with Li Chenglu before, but truth be told, in his eyes, Li Chenglu didn’t count as a member of the opposite sex.

"Not yet, what’s up?"

Bae Juhyun seemed to have relaxed a bit from her initial nervousness. She turned over, propped her hand under the pillow to support her head, and then opened her pretty big eyes, looking at the familiar silhouette of the man she liked in the darkness.

Although she couldn’t see his face clearly, she could somehow magically fill in what Liu Xin’an looked like in her mind.

"I just suddenly felt like chatting with you."

"Chat with me? Is there something in particular you want to talk about?"

Bae Juhyun’s lips pursed, curling up into a slight smile.

"I’ve told so many lies, are you really not angry at all?"

This matter was still a thorn in Bae Juhyun’s side.

After all, she had told too many lies before coming clean about her identity.

Who would want their other half to be a liar full of deceit, right?

"Uh... Are you still lying to me now?"

"Now? Of course not!"

Bae Juhyun denied vehemently. The current her had nothing left to hide from Liu Xin’an, so there was no need to lie to him anymore.

"Then there you go. You had no choice but to lie before, and I can understand that, so I’m not angry."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Truly really?"

"...If you keep talking like this, we’re never going to sleep tonight."

"Hehe~"

Bae Juhyun let out a light giggle, her voice brimming with joy.

"I’m so glad I met you."

She murmured softly, then cautiously reached her hand out to the bolster pillow that separated them.

"I’m the one who should be saying that."

"Hand."

"Hmm? What hand?"

Bae Juhyun seemed to have touched the hem of Liu Xin’an’s clothing, grabbed onto it and tugged gently.

In the darkness, she clearly saw Liu Xin’an turn to look at her.

Even without seeing his face, she could feel his confusion at that moment.

She smiled silently, and then she felt her own hand being captured by a strong, larger hand.

This reassured Bae Juhyun, and she couldn’t contain her happiness any longer as her soft laughter "sneaked" out in the quiet bedroom.

"You’re crossing the line now, you know."

Liu Xin’an gently caressed the plump pads of the girl’s fingers with his thumb.

The curious sensation caused Bae Juhyun to curl up reflexively, and she let out a light hum: "Then I’ll take it back."

After saying that, she intended to pull her hand away.

But how could her strength compare to Liu Xin’an’s?

Her little hand was firmly held in his grasp, and trying to pull it back was not an easy task.

"If you’ve come over, don’t even think about running away."

To hold the girl’s hand more comfortably, Liu Xin’an subconsciously moved closer to Bae Juhyun’s side.

The dark outline became clearer and clearer until, gradually, Bae Juhyun could see Liu Xin’an’s face.

It was still that handsome face that made her heart race. It wasn’t the first time she’d seen her boyfriend’s face from such a close distance, yet she couldn’t hide the envy in her heart at that moment.

Her good skin was the result of prolonged care, but Liu Xin’an had hardly ever tended to his skin, doing no more than being a bit more thorough when washing his face.

His skin condition was even better than hers.

Thinking this, Bae Juhyun’s other hand involuntarily climbed onto her boyfriend’s cheek and, after feeling the smoothness of Liu Xin’an’s skin, she looked disgruntled.

"Have you really not secretly been using skincare products behind my back?"

"How could I? I never even bought any of those."

"Then how is your skin so good? It’s infuriating!"

"If you exercised more often, yours could be too."

"No way, I’d rather die than exercise."

Liu Xin’an was amused by Bae Juhyun’s petulant tone. He caught her wayward hand that was playing on his face, kissed it gently at the mouth, and looked earnestly at the girl who was looking back at him.

His tender gaze almost melted Bae Juhyun on the spot, and she couldn’t hold back her elation any longer. Blushing, she actively removed the bolster that had lain between her and Liu Xin’an.

What followed was the sensation of being encompassed by two strong arms wrapping around her waist.

With the pull of that strength, she was drawn into the embrace of the man beside her.

This close contact allowed them to hear each other’s rapid heartbeats with striking clarity.

Bae Juhyun’s head rested against Liu Xin’an’s chest, and after a few seconds of silence, she nervously raised her head to look at him as he looked down at her.

She took the initiative with a kiss, her arms hooking around the man’s neck.

After a long time, she breathed in fresh air with her face flushed red.

"Just holding, okay..."

Liu Xin’an didn’t take advantage of her any further, knowing this was already as far as Bae Juhyun was willing to go.

So, he suppressed the heat inside him, simply holding the one he loved, his voice hoarse.

"Yeah... let’s sleep, I won’t take advantage of you."

Her reply was a soft murmur from Bae Juhyun.

"Even though you already did..."
