Chapter 147: 147. Pei·Baigei·Juhyun (Subscribe! Monthly Votes!)

If Juhyun found Xin’an’s uninvited visit the previous night a bit absurd, today, when she saw Xin’an enter in his pajamas, she did not show any hint of surprise.

Humans have strong adaptability, and it seemed Juhyun had also grown accustomed to sharing a bed with this guy.

"Darling, is this matter very important to you?"

She felt a need to have a serious conversation with Xin’an.

She had been troubled about it since dinner.

Troubled about whether she should agree to Xin’an’s request.

The matter of meeting the parents... it really was daunting.

She knew her current thoughts were mean and selfish, but she really couldn’t bring herself to brazen it out.

She was naturally timid; otherwise, her fans wouldn’t call her "Bae Scaredy-cat."

At first, Xin’an hadn’t guessed what Juhyun was talking about, but after seeing her nervous expression, he caught on.

It was indeed very important, but he could also feel that Juhyun was so nervous she was almost trembling.

"It’s up to you, it’s okay if you don’t want to go."

"No, no, no, it’s not that I don’t want to..."

Juhyun frowned delicately, her face filled with conflict.

She did want to, but to do something, one must have the courage that matches the desire.

"I need to check if I’m free during that period. Since we’re going back, I guess we should stay for a while, right?"

"Hmm... For our celebration back home, you’d have to stay at least a week."

"A week?!"

Juhyun opened her mouth in surprise, then her face lit up with an excited smile.

She had only brought Xin’an home for four days! Now he was taking her to his place for a week.

Good, this alleviated much of her guilt.

The numbers didn’t match up! So they couldn’t be directly compared.

"Roughly, at least five days,"

He wouldn’t be released until at least the fifth day; his parents were persistent like that.

"Then... then..."

"Okay, okay, no need to hesitate so much, just follow your heart, don’t force yourself,"

Xin’an said lazily as he leaned against the headboard and stretched.

Yes, he didn’t plan to coerce Juhyun.

He had ways to get words out of his dad without bringing his girlfriend.

That was to find all of his dad’s hidden money.

He doubted his dad could keep quiet then.

An insignificant secret versus the money painfully saved over many months...

He believed his father would know how to choose.

Such a filial son!

"Ah, let me think, I do want to go with you, don’t get me wrong,"

Juhyun pushed away Xin’an’s hands that were trying to embrace her, hugging a pillow to her chest instead, her small body curling up.

She rested her chin on the pillow in her arms, her pretty face scrunched up in worry.

This expression gave Juhyun a certain charm, as Xin’an stared at her beautiful profile for a long while, until he felt her displeased gaze and casually pulled out his phone.

He didn’t have to shoot tomorrow, so he could spend the day with her.

Then the day after tomorrow, he would attend an awards ceremony.

After a peaceful sleep, he would fly to Korea with Juhyun the day after next.

The plan was already set.

So tonight, he needed to check his recent records to avoid any awkward moments tomorrow.

If possible, he wanted to shed this nickname "Freeloader."

Lying on his side, he watched a few videos on his phone until suddenly, he felt an unexpected weight on his body.

He put down his phone and saw Juhyun, who had somehow straddled him.

Her soft, smooth black hair brushed against her impeccable face, and just the sight of her expressionless gaze made Xin’an’s heart race uncontrollably.

But the awkward part was... with this posture, it might not only be his heart that reacted.

Feeling something amiss, Xin’an hurriedly sat up and wrapped his arms around her slender waist, about to lift her off him when she proactively looped her arms around his neck, holding him in place.

"Stop it; I have something to tell you."

"..."

Now things got really awkward, as their pose was a bit too intimate.

Xin’an sat up straight, while Juhyun straddled his waist.

Uh...

"So, Juhyun..."

"Seriously." Juhyun thought her boyfriend wanted to be affectionate; kisses were fine, but not right now.

Because she had something to say.

She put her hand over Xin’an’s mouth, ready to speak, then froze.

"What’s poking..."

Her voice grew softer, eventually turning into a murmur.

And her pale, pinkish cheeks turned completely red.

Xin’an was embarrassed too; some things he just couldn’t control.

The past two nights, he had deliberately avoided too much contact with Juhyun during sleep, and he always woke up first in the morning, so Juhyun wouldn’t see anything inappropriate...

But this time...

He really had no excuse.

"Ju..."

"Aaaahhhh!!!"

This time, it seemed not "Bae Scaredy-cat", but "Bae Petrified" had appeared.

———

"Bang!"

The closed bedroom door left Xin’an wanting to cry but having no tears.

Who made his girlfriend such a scaredy-cat?

Realizing how embarrassed Juhyun truly felt made her unable to lift her head.

But she was also quite funny, exploding into anger when she felt extremely shy.

Now that he was pushed out, Juhyun muttered while pushing him away, quite literally pushing her thoughts out with her words.

Xin’an felt wronged; it wasn’t his fault, as the girl herself didn’t realize how tempting she was.

He was the real victim.

Unconvinced, Xin’an knocked on the door, shouting, "I’m the victim here, let me in, Juhyun!"

"Yah! Quiet!"

The girl’s scream from within made Xin’an quiet down.

Well, it seems she really was embarrassed.

Tonight he could only guard the empty bed alone.

Resigned, he turned around like an abandoned child and listlessly returned to his room where he hadn’t slept all day.

The large bed made his heart feel cold.

He decided to cover himself more tightly with the quilt.

As for Bae Juhyun, who was currently in a state of extreme shyness...

She had already curled up completely under the covers.

After all, she was already 30 years old.

She understood quite a few things that she should.

Not to mention she had seen some movies that dealt with this matter, like "A Frozen Flower"...

Cough, she watched it with the members, a gateway to a new world.

But having watched movies did not mean that she would become an expert when actually facing these situations.

It was somewhat suffocating under the covers and after shrinking back for a while, Bae Juhyun suddenly popped her head out, then held her little face with both hands.

Though it was dark, the warmth from her palms let her know she was still in a ’cooked’ state.

She tried to empty her mind, aiming to think of nothing, and after a few minutes, Bae Juhyun somewhat recovered from her extreme shyness.

She lay on her side on the bed, looking toward the spot where Liu Xin’an had been staying these last few days.

Today, in the darkness, she couldn’t see Liu Xin’an’s blurry figure.

The warmth still in her palm wasn’t provided by Liu Xin’an anymore...

After the shyness, Bae Juhyun started to regret.

It seemed she was the one who had really gotten used to sharing a bed.

Now that Liu Xin’an wasn’t lying beside her, she felt somewhat uneasy.

And...

Bae Juhyun turned over, lay on the bed, and then used the pillow as a cushion.

The phone screen lit up in the darkness.

Being a novice in theory and practice, she planned to thoroughly harness the power of the internet.

Perhaps because she searched with a learning mindset, although the answers she found were embarrassing, Bae Juhyun braced herself and read through them.

Then, she finally understood something.

That was why Liu Xin’an’s sleeping posture while holding her these past nights had been so strange.

She really hadn’t considered those aspects before!

Realizing that her boyfriend had been patiently enduring for her emotions the past few days (just found out)...

Bae Juhyun felt that sending Liu Xin’an away earlier was somewhat unkind.

He wouldn’t be angry, would he?

The internet says men in an excited state can be quite peculiar...

Normally, Bae Juhyun wouldn’t worry about these things, but now...

The more Bae Juhyun thought about it, the more uncertain she became. She took her phone, found her boyfriend’s chat, and pondered what to say.

After a long time, until the phone screen gradually turned off due to inactivity, she still hadn’t figured out what to say.

It’s Liu Xin’an’s own problem that he can’t control himself! Why should she blame herself?

Bae Juhyun, oh Bae Juhyun, you must be sick—she brainwashed herself, then put the phone aside ’righteously’ and closed her eyes.

Although she hadn’t been running around with Li Chenglu today, she was still very tired.

She should be able to fall asleep quickly.

Ten minutes later.

Bae Juhyun rolled over, lying on her back on the bed, and casually picked up her phone.

"It’s only been ten minutes!"

She collapsed and started rubbing her long hair, successfully making herself look like a bird’s nest, then began to zone out.

Big trouble was brewing.

She was now more than just used to the feeling of Liu Xin’an lying beside her, holding her hand as they slept.

It seemed she had become dependent on this feeling.

Bae Juhyun took a deep breath, twisted and turned on the bed to vent, and finally, with disheveled hair, she sat up, got out of bed barefoot, and stealthily walked to the door.

With a creak, she opened the door a crack.

Bae Juhyun cautiously observed the hallway, looking for Liu Xin’an.

But the pitch-black living room made it impossible for her to see where Liu Xin’an was.

It was a cloudy night with very little moonlight.

She tiptoed out of the room and first went to the couch.

Liu Xin’an wasn’t on the couch, so Bae Juhyun turned her gaze to the door of another bedroom nearby.

He should be in there.

She held her breath.

Hoping that Liu Xin’an was already asleep, she sneaked over to sleep for just five, six, seven hours!

Then she would need to run back to her own room before Liu Xin’an woke up.

This way, she could ensure rest while still protecting her pride.

It was she who had pushed him out, sneaking into his arms in the middle of the night—how could she justify that!

With such a mindset, Bae Juhyun slowly grasped the bedroom door handle.

Then she gently pressed it down.

The bedroom door opened with a sound.

Bae Juhyun held her breath, wishing she could even stop her heart from beating.

Her bare feet gently stepped on the floor, moving toward the bed step by step.

Despite the darkness, she managed to reach the bed using her eyesight.

Good.

Next, she would sneak into Liu Xin’an’s arms unnoticed... forget that, it’s too difficult; just holding hands would do.

She took a deep breath, gently pressed down on the soft edge of the bed, and successfully climbed onto the bed with the least noise.

Then, she reached out her little hand in the darkness.

She remembered how Liu Xin’an slept; he liked to sleep on his side, stretching out his hand.

So, the position of the hand... ah! Found it!

Bae Juhyun’s face lit up with a delighted smile, gently flipped over that big hand on the bed, and then placed her small hand on his.

She found the gaps between his fingers and interlocked them.

The feeling of their fingers intertwined filled her with joy.

But before she could lie down, the next second, the motionless big hand suddenly tightened around her small hand.

"Ah!"

"Coming to me on your own?"

Liu Xin’an’s voice, suppressing a laugh, made Bae Juhyun blush.

"Let... let go of me!"

"Once you’re here, don’t even think about leaving!"

"Bad, you’re so bad..."
