Chapter 182: 170. The Thing Bae Juhyun Forgot

"If you can’t meet the fans’ demands, won’t they think you’re putting on airs?"

Liu Xin’an’s gaze fell on Bae Juhyun’s beautiful face, where her shiny black eyes hid, darting away guiltily as he looked over.

Perhaps due to nervousness, Bae Juhyun’s fair cheeks were flushed with a pink hue, and her small feet, covered in white socks, curled up uncomfortably.

This person was nervous and was putting on an act, Liu Xin’an could tell.

Moved by a thought, Liu Xin’an decided not to expose her, but instead to go along with it.

"Hmm, I can’t control that. If they think I’m putting on airs, let them think that."

From the term "putting on airs," Liu Xin’an knew that Bae Juhyun still didn’t understand that being an up master and being a celebrity were two entirely different concepts.

In Bae Juhyun’s mind, she probably thought she was a public figure just like herself.

Little did she know he’d hardly ever appeared on TV twice.

That made Bae Juhyun’s eyes light up, but her voice was still very tense, "How can that be okay? It’ll affect your work. You can’t do that, Liu Xin’an. I have more experience in this area, you need to listen to me."

Look, the little fox’s tail was showing.

Liu Xin’an didn’t understand why so many female fans liked to call Bae Juhyun "Bae Bunny," when she was clearly a little fox.

Sometimes she was cunning enough to leave him at his wits’ end.

"So what do you suggest we do, Miss Bae?"

"Based on my experience, it’s still necessary to go along with what the fans want."

Bae Juhyun spoke with gravity, and after finishing, she didn’t forget to nod her head in approval of her own idea, looking very self-satisfied.

"Oh?"

"Let’s do a video collaboration together!"

After beating around the bush, the conversation eventually came back to collaborating on a video.

Liu Xin’an smiled without responding and simply grabbed his phone.

"What do we eat tonight?"

"Liu Xin’an!"

After realizing she’d been played by him, Bae Juhyun stomped on Liu Xin’an’s leg in annoyance.

She was venting her dissatisfaction, but these sorts of things were actually more like a boon for Liu Xin’an.

Quietly letting Bae Juhyun step on him for a while, Liu Xin’an still looked at his girlfriend with a smile.

"How about Korean BBQ?"

"...Okay."

Bae Juhyun temporarily gave in, but that didn’t mean she had completely capitulated.

Ever since Liu Xin’an last treated Bae Juhyun’s teammates to Korean BBQ, the grill had not been used again at his house.

Today, it was being used again after many days.

Perhaps because it wasn’t too late, the usually unhelpful delivery guy actually managed to deliver the pork and beef Liu Xin’an ordered within half an hour.

After courteously thanking the guy with a "thank you for your hard work," Liu Xin’an closed the door and walked into the dining room with a full bag of meat.

Bae Juhyun was already sitting with her hands supporting her cheeks, waiting, with her phone beside her, ready to take pictures of the barbecue and post them on their account.

Seeing Bae Juhyun fully prepared, Liu Xin’an, who was unwrapping the meat, couldn’t help but laugh.

"I suggest you better not post it. If you post about BBQ now, everyone will be upset."

"Why?"

"Posting about delicious food during mealtimes is just asking for people to get mad at you."

Liu Xin’an used the tongs to separate and place the meat on plates, not in a hurry to grill as the hot plate wasn’t warm yet.

He ordered a lot of meat today and not many vegetables.

There was also the kimchi Bae Juhyun had brought.

Despite Bae Juhyun always looking like she enjoyed her food on shows and variety programs, her figure was so well-maintained that she actually ate very little.

Most of the meat on the table would likely end up in Liu Xin’an’s stomach.

"I’m just sharing our life. I didn’t mean to make everyone envious."

"That’s not how everyone sees it."

Bae Juhyun sulkily set down her phone, propping up her face with one hand, pouting her pink lips, looking very disappointed.

The almost 30-year-old Bae Juhyun, putting on such a young girl’s demeanor, made Liu Xin’an unable to contain his smile. He picked up some chopsticks, took a piece of kimchi, and held it to Bae Juhyun’s lips.

Bae Juhyun glanced up at him, obediently opened her mouth, then bit down on air.

The kimchi ended up in Liu Xin’an’s mouth instead.

"Liu Xin’an!"

"I thought you didn’t want it."

A beauty frowning was quite a sight.

But to ensure he could hold a delightfully scented little body in his arms to sleep tonight, Liu Xin’an honestly offered another piece of kimchi to his girlfriend.

This time Bae Juhyun didn’t bite the air, chewing contentedly on the crunchy kimchi.

"Tsk~"

The moment the beef touched the sizzling grill, the pleasing sound of caramelization made one’s mouth open slightly in anticipation of the meat, slowly changing color.

Both not strapped for cash, the meat they ordered was naturally of decent quality.

Such high-quality beef didn’t need to be fully cooked; 60-70% doneness would yield the best texture for the meat.

However, Liu Xin’an’s BBQ skills were still quite unfamiliar, and observing him grill a piece of meat till fully cooked made Bae Juhyun restive.

She pushed Liu Xin’an back into his seat, took over the grill tongs, and began to adeptly roll the meat across the grate.

As one piece of tender beef gradually changed color, she neatly picked it up with the tongs, used scissors to cut the meat, and placed it on the small plate in front of Liu Xin’an.

"How’s the taste?"

"It’s absolutely perfect."

Bae Juhyun’s smile lifted, but before she could revel in the satisfaction for too long, she suddenly felt like she’d forgotten something.

After searching around the table, she finally realized what she had forgotten.
