Chapter 155: 155. ’For example, I am a pervert’ (Please subscribe! Please vote monthly!)

Planning to completely decorate the room, prepare a surprise, and buy little sparkler tubes for the surprise in such a short time was unrealistic.

So, without a choice, Li Chenglu had to hastily order a cake and asked the store for some confetti cannons, thus a simple celebration ceremony was prepared.

They couldn’t help it; she and Bae Juhyun had both forgotten about this...

All they thought about was how to sneak into the venue safely and then ensure they weren’t discovered by Liu Xin’an.

By the time they remembered, they had both already returned to the hotel.

The delivery guy Liu Xin’an encountered was actually there to deliver their cake and the celebration confetti.

Of course, Liu Xin’an definitely didn’t know about this.

He just felt warmth in his heart, smiling as he reached out to gently hug Bae Juhyun, thanking his girlfriend in his own way.

"Thank you."

"Where’s the trophy? Let me see it quick."

Bae Juhyun was clearly uninterested in hugging Liu Xin’an; she half-heartedly hugged him back and then promptly took the backpack off Liu Xin’an’s back, unzipped it, and started searching through it.

Li Chenglu, who had initially hidden in the restroom, also slipped out; she was more outrageous, barely giving Liu Xin’an a glance before going to look at the trophy with Bae Juhyun.

"Oh! It’s so cool, take a photo for me, Chenglu."

"You hold it up."

Bae Juhyun held the trophy for "Most Popular Broadcaster" in one hand, then made a flying kiss pose and winked at the camera.

Li Chenglu’s breath quickened at the close-up wink, excitedly snapping photos of Bae Juhyun in all sorts of poses; then they switched places.

Liu Xin’an didn’t get angry or interrupt them; instead, he wandered off to his room by himself.

He obviously needed to change his clothes; the hotel room was very warm, and he was overheating in his current outfit.

When he walked out of the room, comfortably changed into a T-shirt and casual pants, sliding into his slippers, the trophy that had just been the center of attention for the two girls was now sitting lonely on the table while they busied themselves with their phones.

"Hey, be nice to my trophy, don’t just throw it aside after using it!"

No matter what, Liu Xin’an still cherished this honor he had received.

Since he had planned to stay in Korea for a while, he was now contemplating whether to go back and have a display case made to show off his "100,000 Fans" plaque, "1 Million Fans" plaque, and the awards he had received over the past two years.

It would all have to be on display anyway, it might be nice to put them all out there.

It could add a bit of flair.

Realizing she might have neglected Liu Xin’an a bit, Bae Juhyun set her phone aside, coughed, and casually grabbed a paper cup, squashing it to use as a makeshift microphone.

"May I ask Mr. Liu Xin’an, how do you feel about winning this award?"

The presence of the beautiful faux reporter made Liu Xin’an swoon; he cleared his throat, utterly serious, "First of all, I want to thank my fans and my bosses. Without their support, I wouldn’t be where I am today."

"Is it just your fans and bosses you want to thank?"

Bae Juhyun thought Liu Xin’an should also thank the website, the leaders, the partners, and so on.

And wasn’t Li Chenglu Liu Xin’an’s room manager? Shouldn’t he thank Li Chenglu too?

But Liu Xin’an misinterpreted his girlfriend’s intention; his eyes shifted, his gaze locking onto the "beautiful reporter" currently interviewing him, "Of course, the person I should thank the most is my girlfriend, Miss Bae Juhyun."

This statement made Bae Juhyun, who was not very thick-skinned, blush instantly; she tossed aside the paper cup and stood up in shock.

"Did you really just say that?"

Seeing Bae Juhyun’s cute reaction, Liu Xin’an decided to tease her; his expression feigning innocence, "Yes, why? Shouldn’t I say that?"

"Ah! Crazy!"

Bae Juhyun, taken aback, grabbed Liu Xin’an by the collar, pretending to be angry.

Okay, she wasn’t dumb; she knew he was joking.

And her uncontrollable smile betrayed her true feelings.

These little staged scenes between the couple were still quite effective at enhancing their relationship.

However, the close intimacy between the two increasingly erased the smile on Li Chenglu’s face standing nearby.

These days, it wasn’t the first time she felt like she might be the third wheel.

She felt like she shouldn’t even be there.

"That’s enough; can you wait till I’m gone before you get all mushy?"

Li Chenglu’s muttered remark made Bae Juhyun unconsciously let go of Liu Xin’an, her cheeks reddening as she cleared her throat and hastily changed the subject.

"We also prepared a cake, Chenglu, where is the cake?"

"Um... in the restroom."

"The restroom? Why would you put the cake in the restroom?" Liu Xin’an’s face turned green. Could they still eat that cake?

"I just carried it in there by instinct. Don’t worry, it wasn’t on the toilet or anything and it hasn’t even been opened yet."

Li Chenglu responded, then walked into the restroom and brought the cake out.

As the cake was being unboxed layer by layer, Bae Juhyun’s eyes shone brighter and brighter.

She quite liked sweets, so she had been looking forward to the cake since it was ordered.

The dreaded cake fight didn’t happen, as both Liu Xin’an and Li Chenglu highly disapproved of wasting food, so when the cake was cut, the first piece was handed to Bae Juhyun by Li Chenglu.

"Wow~ there are so many fruits on it."

The cake was a traditional fruit cake topped with loads of strawberries and grapes.

The sweet taste immediately made Bae Juhyun’s cheeks rise.

It had to be said, watching Bae Juhyun was a truly pleasurable sight.

Her already lovely appearance coupled with her cute eating ways made everyone’s appetite surge.

Liu Xin’an, who was not so fond of sweet cakes, couldn’t resist eating a piece.

———

The flight was scheduled for the next morning, and Li Chenglu would not be returning with them. Thus, after eating the cake and casually ordering a Western meal provided by the hotel, their "last supper" ended abruptly.

"When will you come again?"

After all, they had spent quite a few days together. During the busy times for Liu Xin’an, it was always Li Chenglu who kept Bae Juhyun company, which quickly advanced the relationship between Bae Juhyun and Li Chenglu.

Bae Juhyun held Li Chenglu’s hand, feeling reluctant to part.

"It might not be soon, but I think we’ll meet again pretty quickly."

Li Chenglu smiled slyly; for her, this trip was the most exciting travel experience in a while.

Not only did she get to interact closely with her idol, but she also spent quite some time with her.

Moreover, seeing Liu Xin’an step out of his comfort zone and revert to the hardworking guy she knew made her very happy.

Li Chenglu’s response was in a very low voice, and Liu Xin’an, who was standing beside them with his arms folded, didn’t hear clearly.

However, Bae Juhyun obviously misunderstood something.

The girl’s pretty face flushed red instantly, and she dodged their eyes, her beautiful eyes filled with shyness: "I... I haven’t thought about it yet."

"Thought about what? I mean that I still have to take you two to the airport tomorrow."

Li Chenglu revealed a wicked smile, instantly freezing Bae Juhyun, who had misunderstood her.

Realizing she had been teased by Li Chenglu, Bae Juhyun couldn’t help but smack Li Chenglu’s shoulder in annoyance, but seeing Li Chenglu’s smile, she too broke into laughter in a second.

"Alright, alright, let’s go. Whenever you decide to come, just say the word. Old Wang can’t stop you."

"I’ve got things scheduled after the new year; I don’t have the time to run around. You better focus on your live stream," Li Chenglu shot Liu Xin’an a glance, then coughed. Her always aggressive eyes unusually flickered with a hint of worry, "You okay?"

"Don’t worry about it."

"Fine, I won’t disturb you anymore. I’m going to sleep."

Li Chenglu turned away gracefully, leaving Liu Xin’an and Bae Juhyun with a carefree view of her retreating back.

Unfortunately, the door to the room behind her closed right after she left.

Which meant that neither Liu Xin’an nor Bae Juhyun were particularly interested in her departing figure.

Well... at least Liu Xin’an wasn’t, since he was the one who closed the door.

"Your attitude towards Chenglu is pretty bad. Are you really childhood friends who grew up together?"

Bae Juhyun didn’t have childhood friends like that; nowadays, the people she knew the longest and was closest to were actually the group members.

As an entertainer, sometimes there really isn’t time to maintain normal social interactions.

Moreover, she couldn’t even attend casual get-togethers with some friends.

It’s not that she didn’t have non-celebrity friends, just that... she really didn’t contact them that much anymore.

"Of course, it’s because we are close that we can tease each other without any pressure. This is male friendship, you wouldn’t understand."

"Bang"

Bae Juhyun couldn’t grasp Liu Xin’an’s Chinese-style humor. She felt it was rude of Liu Xin’an to call Li Chenglu a man, and somewhat felt treated like a fool.

"Juhyun, getting more violent."

"Who made you always treat me like a fool, does it hurt?"

Bae Juhyun dragged him to sit on the sofa. Knowing she hadn’t hit him hard, she still nervously asked Liu Xin’an.

Hearing this, Liu Xin’an nodded cooperatively, putting on a pained expression.

"This, this really hurts."

He pointed to the spot Bae Juhyun had just hit, putting on a pitiful look.

Probably because the exaggerated expressions were too cute, Bae Juhyun was amused by Liu Xin’an.

The girl chuckled and picked up the gold trophy with a small TV image on it again.

She had received many similar trophies, but such a unique trophy was a first for her.

She had already sent a photo with the trophy to the group members since they had asked her to congratulate Liu Xin’an after learning about his award.

Playing with the trophy, Bae Juhyun made Liu Xin’an raise an eyebrow; this person was getting harder to fool.

"It hurts, Juhyun."

"Nice try; I hardly exerted any strength."

Liu Xin’an sighed, "In our culture, there’s a concept called ’smart power.’ It means that sometimes you use very little strength, but the effect on the other person is surprisingly good because your force precisely hit the person’s pain threshold, so the person feels a heartfelt pain."

He seriously rambled on then pointed to the spot where Bae Juhyun had hit him.

"And just now, you happened to hit a very vulnerable spot; so when I say it hurts, I’m not lying to you."

Bae Juhyun put down the trophy and stared expressionlessly at the rambling Liu Xin’an.

Not until he sheepishly closed his mouth, looking obedient, did she chuckle.

"When did I ever realize you could be so glib, you hid it well!"

"Of course, I’ve already won you over; now I can reveal a bit more of my true self."

"True self?"

"Mmm, like..." Liu Xin’an’s eyes shifted, then he reached out to wrap his arms around his girlfriend’s waist and swept her into his arms before she could react.

"Ah!"

"Like the fact that I’m a bit of a wolf."
