Chapter 190: 174. The soon-to-be parting couple (Thanks to the Alliance Hierarch Saiya Yao! 7/8)

"Pretty, huh?"

Having put on Liu Xin’an’s T-shirt and shorts, Bae Juhyun excitedly spun around at the edge of the bed, but as soon as she finished speaking, she found herself frowning and lying down on the bed.

"So dizzy..."

Liu Xin’an was amused by Bae Juhyun’s childish behavior, though he still felt somewhat disoriented.

He could still vividly recall how Bae Juhyun had been seductively provocative just moments before.

And indeed, it was truly enticing—enough to make Liu Xin’an blush in Juhyun’s presence, which was a rare sight.

How should I put it...

Liu Xin’an had always been weak against women who occasionally exhibited a mature charm, otherwise, he wouldn’t have fallen for that senior during his university days.

And now, Juhyun had exposed the exact mature charm that he was powerless to resist. What could he do?

He simply nodded honestly and shared his thoughts, which were then rewarded with a light kiss from Juhyun that seemed to carry a hint of a "reward."

Today it tasted sweet like strawberries—she seemed to have changed her toothpaste.

However, Juhyun still felt a bit nervous about her cool and fresh outfit, so... she switched to Liu Xin’an’s clothes.

Also known as "boyfriend clothes."

At first, Liu Xin’an played a little trick by only giving Juhyun a rather loose T-shirt.

One of his T-shirts could almost completely wrap up Juhyun’s petite body.

But Juhyun knew exactly what this sly pervert was thinking.

Some scaredy-cat, all an act by Liu Xin’an!

Now she wasn’t going to fall for it.

Helpless, Liu Xin’an had no choice but to fetch another pair of his shorts.

Though called shorts, on Juhyun they completely transformed into capris that covered her knees.

But you know what, Juhyun, with her hair flowing loosely and hands tucked into pockets, sporting a smile on her face while dressed in men’s clothing, had a charm of her own.

At least, Liu Xin’an thought his girlfriend looked absolutely enchanting.

Juhyun, having recovered from dizziness, climbed onto Liu Xin’an’s bed.

Liu Xin’an tacitly lifted the comforter, letting the girl snuggle in.

Once again embraced by the arms that brought her a surge of security and happiness, Juhyun was immediately enveloped by fatigue.

Whether she was comfortable or not was set aside for the time being; right now, all she wanted to do was sleep honestly.

Not long after, the even breathing that ensued also started to make Liu Xin’an sleepy.

He tightened his arms around the girl, and after receiving a humming sound from Juhyun as if she were talking in her sleep, Juhyun broke free from his embrace, turned around, and faced away from him.

"...."

———

Finding a suitable excuse to go to Hua Xia for the New Year was a difficult matter.

Since seeing Liu Xin’an’s "cute" side the other day, time had unknowingly passed by a few days.

As the time for Liu Xin’an’s return to Hua Xia drew closer, Juhyun began to feel anxious.

These two days, she had completely stopped thinking about what it would be like without Liu Xin’an around; she decided to leave such troublesome matters for her future self to deal with.

As for the current her... it was better to just fully enjoy the time spent up close and personal with Liu Xin’an.

Naturally, it would be even better if she could go to Hua Xia with Liu Xin’an.

But this involved the problem of how to persuade her boss.

These past few days, she hadn’t thought of a suitable reason or excuse, just diligently showing up at the company repeatedly.

After all, she needed to show the right attitude before requesting leave.

"Sigh~"

Unsure which sigh this was for Juhyun, Kang Seulgi sitting across the dining table also sighed.

"Sigh~"

"What’s wrong?"

"Nothing, just feeling troubled because you look troubled,"

Kang Seulgi flashed an infectiously bright smile.

"Don’t tease me," Juhyun poked at the chicken in her bowl with her chopsticks, then propped her cheek with one hand, annoyed as she increased the force in her grip, "Thinking up an excuse is so hard!"

"Can’t help it, it’s just a special time,"

"The fans still want me to go back with Liu Xin’an, and then have me eat lots of Hua Xia cuisine,"

"Fans?" Seulgi was a bit confused; fans? Whose? Theirs?

Juhyun nodded, realizing she had been ambiguous, and hurriedly added, "Mine and Liu Xin’an’s fans, the comments under that small account."

These past days, she had maintained an intense schedule, updating two pictures a day on her account.

That account had been bustling under her management, even to the point where someone sent her a private message about advertising yesterday.

Of course, she definitely didn’t understand the private messages, and it was Liu Xin’an who translated them for her.

Even getting advertising offers made "Advertising Queen" Juhyun very proud.

"So, how did you reply?"

"How could I dare to reply? Honestly, I’m afraid of hurting the fans, but if I lie, then the fans might expect to see pictures later..."

"Impressive, as expected from Sister Juhyun, cold and handsome!" Seulgi playfully gave a thumbs-up, then got lightly smacked by Juhyun for her teasing.

"So have you given up on going back with Liu Xin’an?"

Juhyun pursed her lips, nodded, and slumped over the dining table as if all her energy had drained away.

It wasn’t that she gave up, but reality left her with no choice but to give up.

If she didn’t want to reveal her relationship with Liu Xin’an to the company, the most proper approach this New Year was to stay honestly at the company, at home, and in the dorm.

Exposure was absolutely not an option—as it stands, she was in an awkward period.

In her renewal year, she needed leverage to discuss her contract renewal with the company, and being known to be in a romance at this time would definitely not be good news for her.
