Chapter 138: 138. Bae Juhyun’s Chinese Food List (Please Subscribe! Please Vote!)

Bae Juhyun had slept for almost two hours.

When she woke up groggily, the pitch-black room left her dazed for a while.

It wasn’t until she saw the time on her phone that she realized she had only taken a nap in the afternoon, not slept until dawn.

"Liu Xin’an~"

She called out, and after a series of footsteps, the dark bedroom was finally lit by the light from the living room.

Liu Xin’an came in through the door at the same time.

"Awake?"

Maybe because her mind was still foggy from just waking up or perhaps because she had slept so comfortably in his arms the night before, Bae Juhyun remained snuggled in bed.

"Come here."

Her boyfriend couldn’t refuse her orders. He scooted over, sat down, and was immediately pounced on by the waiting Bae Juhyun.

With her soft, fragrant body in his arms, Liu Xin’an instinctively wrapped his arms around her waist. Just as he was about to say something, he was pulled down by the lying-down Bae Juhyun.

With a "thud," Liu Xin’an fell onto the bed, and Bae Juhyun comfortably leaned into his chest.

"What’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

"No, just wanted a hug."

Bae Juhyun replied lazily.

After a moment of quiet, Liu Xin’an remembered what he had told Li Chenglu earlier.

"By the way, I talked to Li Chenglu earlier. We’re going out for some skewers tonight."

"Skewers?" Bae Juhyun furrowed her delicate brows. For her, kebabs were a foreign concept, so when Liu Xin’an mentioned skewers, what flashed in her mind at the first moment was those large meat skewers from European countries.

"You’ve probably never had our country’s lamb skewers, have you?"

"Um... no. Is it lamb?"

"There’s also beef and pork. We can decide what to order later."

Bae Juhyun nodded, somewhat understanding, then raised her head to look at Liu Xin’an.

"When are we eating?"

"Uh... I need to check with Li Chenglu first to see if she’s awake."

"Go, hurry!" Bae Juhyun said with a smile, showing no intention of getting up herself.

For Liu Xin’an, Bae Juhyun’s weight wasn’t much at all. If he wanted, he could easily get up, either ignoring her or lifting her up effortlessly. It was just a matter of a thought for him.

However, he didn’t want to choose either.

Liu Xin’an lazily placed his hands behind his head, continuing to enjoy the cozy time with his girlfriend.

"Let her sleep a bit longer, no rush."

"Mm."

Bae Juhyun used Liu Xin’an’s chest as a pillow and grabbed her phone to scroll through recent news.

The members were quite unhappy with the various check-in photos she had posted this afternoon, but once she explained she’d be bringing back gifts, they all quieted down.

There wasn’t much big news in the entertainment circle recently, aside from the various award ceremonies and some comeback announcements.

None of it really concerned her, so Bae Juhyun tossed her phone aside and hugged Liu Xin’an, making some curious, meaningless sounds.

Though he couldn’t quite understand them, they were undeniably cute.

Despite her aloof appearance, Bae Juhyun’s personality was completely unlike the image she projected.

"What time do you have to leave tomorrow?"

Liu Xin’an, who was stroking the girl’s hair, thought for a moment after hearing Bae Juhyun’s question.

"I should be able to leave close to noon. It’s just a rehearsal, going through the motions."

"Oh, when will it end?"

"It will probably be very late, around nine or ten o’clock."

"I see."

If possible, Bae Juhyun would rather spend time with Liu Xin’an than go out with Li Chenglu.

She was introverted by nature. Even though she had grown closer to Li Chenglu, nothing could compare to her bond with Liu Xin’an.

"I’ll come back as soon as I can, don’t worry."

"Mm, get up! Go find Chenglu, I’m hungry."

Following his girlfriend’s orders, Liu Xin’an knocked on Li Chenglu’s room door.

Li Chenglu was already up. Knowing it was Liu Xin’an knocking, she didn’t stay in her room but followed him back to the suite with her phone in hand.

"Want a beer?"

"Sure!"

"No."

Faced with the beer, Bae Juhyun and Liu Xin’an gave contrasting answers.

The adorable couple exchanged a glance, and in the end, Bae Juhyun won.

"I want to drink."

Those three clean words made Liu Xin’an swallow any rebuttal.

"Not too much," he relented, making Bae Juhyun smile triumphantly.

"Well then, get a dozen beers..."

"Wait, wait, a dozen? Just the three of us?"

Li Chenglu blinked and looked at Bae Juhyun.

"Can we handle four bottles?"

A dozen is 12 bottles. For a normal adult, four bottles of beer aren’t a lot, right?

Plus, Bae Juhyun could handle three bottles of soju. As her fan, Li Chenglu clearly knew Bae Juhyun’s drinking capacity.

"I can drink."

"You passed out after just two U8s last time." Liu Xin’an revealed, which earned him a series of playful punches from Bae Juhyun.

Li Chenglu was startled: "U8? Bottles or cans?"

"Cans."

"That’s unlikely. Irene has a three-bottle soju tolerance. How could two cans of U8 knock her out?"

"It’s true."

Hearing this, Li Chenglu turned her puzzled gaze to Bae Juhyun, who averted her eyes.

Hmm... As a fellow woman, she seemed to get what Bae Juhyun was hinting at.

However, this time she guessed wrong. Though Bae Juhyun had pretended to be drunk before, the first time she really did pass out after just two cans of beer...

Let’s just say, drinking capacity depends on one’s state.

She wasn’t drunk after three bottles of soju that one time, possibly because she was in peak condition.

"Let’s get half a dozen then. Two cans per person should be fine."

"I can drink!" Bae Juhyun felt her drinking prowess had been doubted and protested loudly.

"How about 20 lamb skewers?"

"We should get some beef skewers too, don’t let her eat too much lamb, it’s fattening."

"Oh, right. How about some tendon slices, do you want those?"

"Of course."

Seeing these two chatting in a language she could understand but ignoring her, Bae Juhyun became anxious.

"Hey!! Why is everyone ignoring me?"

"Do you want chicken wings?"

Bae Juhyun paused, looking at Liu Xin’an. After thinking for a few seconds, she nodded.

"Yes."

Good, the beer issue was glossed over.

Of course, it was also because Bae Juhyun graciously didn’t bother with him. Otherwise, did he really think it would be forgotten so easily?

What a joke.

After placing the order, Li Chenglu got up and stretched before strolling over to sit on the sofa. Liu Xin’an and Bae Juhyun’s suite was much larger than her room. She only had a bed and a bathroom; there wasn’t even a living room, and the TV was in the same room as the bed.

"Don’t forget to go downstairs to pick up the delivery later, Liu Xin’an."

It was difficult for food deliveries to be sent up at this hotel. Yesterday’s soup dumplings had been collected by Liu Xin’an downstairs.

"Sure, let me know when it arrives."

Liu Xin’an responded and looked down at his phone. Several content creators were asking to collaborate on videos, and he was thinking of an excuse to decline.

About 40 minutes later, Li Chenglu was sitting on the couch watching a variety show with Bae Juhyun when her phone’s vibration caught her attention.

She didn’t pick up, but instead tossed the phone to Liu Xin’an.

He caught it smoothly and answered it, walking out and taking the elevator down to get the delivery while talking.

Li Chenglu had ordered quite a bit, but luckily he was strong.

He carried the bag of grilled skewers in one hand and a small basket with six cans of beer in the other, quickly returning to the suite.

As soon as he entered the room, the fragrant aroma of the skewers made Bae Juhyun’s eyes light up.

"Wow! Smells so good!"

"Of course it does. In our country, especially in summer, the streets and alleys are filled with stalls selling this kind of barbecue."

"Really?"

Liu Xin’an nodded, looking pained: "So in our country, especially in summer, never go out at night. It’s very unsafe."

"Unsafe?" It couldn’t be possible. She thought China was supposed to be a very safe country.

Liu Xin’an spread his hands and smiled: "For your wallet, it’s very unsafe."

"What... I thought it was something serious."

Okay, Bae Juhyun didn’t get the joke.

Liu Xin’an didn’t bother to explain further. He placed the bag on the table, took out a meat skewer that made Bae Juhyun’s mouth water.

It was unlike the large meat skewers she had abroad. The lamb skewers in China... or specifically from the place they ordered from this time had smaller pieces of meat and didn’t look as impressive.

But the rich aroma that kept wafting into her nose was undeniable, leaving Bae Juhyun, who was having her first taste of lamb skewers, momentarily puzzled.

"This one is lamb. Just have a taste of it."

"Oh... I don’t want the fatty parts."

"Just eat the lean meat on top; I’ll take the fatty parts."

Bae Juhyun nodded. She took the lamb skewer and bit off the top piece of lean meat.

The unique cumin flavor made Bae Juhyun’s eyes widen in surprise. She chewed the lamb carefully before her mouth curled into a smile.

"It’s delicious!"

It tasted totally different from the large meat skewers she had had abroad.

If those were about the tenderness and freshness of the meat, then Chinese lamb skewers were about the aroma and tenderness.

The meat was grilled to be slightly dry, but inside it was very tender and refreshing to the palate.

Combined with the strong taste of spices that stimulated her senses...

Bae Juhyun looked at the beer next to her, and Liu Xin’an perceptively opened one, poured a cup, and handed it to her.

She took a sip, letting the foam outline her beautiful lips, then raised the meat skewer in her hand.

"Wow! This is even better than soju with barbecue!"

Bae Juhyun’s praise made the two Chinese people present show a proud smile.

What a joke, no one in this world can refuse lamb skewers with cold beer!

Absolutely no one!

After finishing a skewer, Bae Juhyun tied up her long hair first. Confirming it wouldn’t get in the way of her meal, she looked down at the meat skewer and sighed.

Maybe it was because she had been a leader for so long... she kind of missed her sisters still in Seoul.

"What’s wrong?"

"If Seulgi could eat this, she would be so excited."

As a closer older sister to Kang Seulgi, she knew her taste very well.

This would absolutely excite Kang Seulgi to the point of dancing around.

"Uh... when you and your group come to perform in China, you can eat it then."

Liu Xin’an’s words made both Bae Juhyun and Li Chenglu roll their eyes at him.

Clueless Liu Xin’an had no idea what he said wrong.

"There should be lamb skewer places in Seoul too. I saw it when looking up travel guides before."

Li Chenglu didn’t bother to reply to Liu Xin’an. Instead, she thought for a moment and gave Bae Juhyun some hope.

"Really?"

"At least I saw it a couple of years ago, but I can’t guarantee the taste."

"Oh! I have to try it with Seulgi when we get back."
