Chapter 197: 177. Bae Juhyun’s Notebook (Please subscribe! Vote for monthly tickets!)_2

The laundry detergent at home always had this scent, so as soon as Liu Xin’an smelled it, he relaxed.

He casually took off his jacket and tossed it aside, then put on his headphones and sent a message to his girlfriend.

"Are you free?"

After quietly waiting a few seconds, he received a reply from Bae Juhyun.

"I’m free, have you gotten home?"

Liu Xin’an didn’t type out a response but instead clicked to start a video call.

After a few seconds, Bae Juhyun’s face, which could make flowers pale in comparison, appeared on the screen.

Her palm-sized, exquisitely pretty face caused Liu Xin’an’s heart to beat uncontrollably. His lips curved upward as he spoke with a light tone.

"I’m home, Juhyun."

"Wow, you’re home already? Show me around!"

At this moment, Bae Juhyun, who was sitting on the dormitory sofa, sat up straight with an excited voice.

On the other side, Kang Seulgi, who was looking down at her phone, suddenly lifted her head, equally curious.

Liu Xin’an would naturally not refuse his girlfriend’s request, and since the room was neat and tidy, he stood up and switched the camera to the rear view to give Bae Juhyun a brief tour of his room.

The first thing to introduce was of course the large bookshelf that had held Liu Xin’an’s many years of study.

As mentioned before, Liu Xin’an was someone who was willing to work hard. All the books on the shelf next to the desk had been read by him.

From study guides and textbooks to novels and comics, it had everything.

However, the dazzling array of books made Bae Juhyun, who had always been indifferent to studying, feel somewhat sleepy...

"These are all the books I’ve read before."

Liu Xin’an felt a strong sense of achievement for having collected these books, but Bae Juhyun wasn’t curious about them.

"Wait, what’s that?" she suddenly spotted something strange.

Liu Xin’an paused and his hand holding the phone froze.

"Which one?"

"The second row of the bookshelf, that thing that looks like a photo album."

"Uh..."

Liu Xin’an fell silent for a few seconds, then the camera switched back to his face.

Bae Juhyun blinked her beautiful eyes, feeling a twinge of annoyance at her boyfriend’s handsome face for the first time.

"Let me see! That’s a photo album, right?"

"No way."

"Liu Xin’an~ Please~ Let me have a look~"

That album recorded the life of Liu Xin’an!

For Bae Juhyun, who had missed the first 28 years of Liu Xin’an’s life, it was a treasure trove.

Of course, her coquettish voice made Kang Seulgi, who was equally curious, get goosebumps all over.

But seeing her sister’s current state, Kang Seulgi felt that if she teased her at this moment, she might die a horrible death.

So she chose to be silent from the heart.

"No way, no way, this one is absolutely not okay."

"Ah."

Bae Juhyun’s face grew cold, planning to use this tactic to force Liu Xin’an into submission.

But Liu Xin’an frowned slightly, "Juhyun, we’re going to be apart for quite a while these next few days, I don’t want a little thing like this to lead us into an argument."

The man’s serious tone caused Bae Juhyun’s expression to change a lot. She hummed unhappily; of course, she knew all this. The last thing she wanted during a long-distance relationship was to argue over something trivial. She had no intention of fighting, she was just trying to scare him a bit.

"It’s your fault for not showing me."

"This one is absolutely not okay."

"Then bring it back with you."

"No."

"Why not! Can’t I see what you looked like before?"

Liu Xin’an shook his head vigorously. What a joke, that album recorded so many of his embarrassing moments.

Looking at it himself was actually okay, as he would even smile warmly when he saw some of the photos since it documented his childhood.

But to show it to his girlfriend...

Please, who doesn’t wish to be seen as perfect in the eyes of their significant other forever?

So this is absolutely out of the question.

"This is definitely not okay."

Bae Juhyun took a deep breath, suppressed her dissatisfaction and annoyance, alright, she wouldn’t look at it, but she was certainly not going to give up on getting that photo album.

Right!

She even had an inside agent!

It was wonderful that Li Chenglu was her fan!

"Then I just won’t look."

The girlfriend’s aggrieved voice made Liu Xin’an feel a bit guilty inside, but it was quickly erased.

Now was not the time to be soft-hearted, or he would be fooled.

Liu Xin’an then earnestly introduced the rest of his room to Bae Juhyun, but at this point, her mind was full of thoughts about the album; how could she possibly be interested in those other things?

Nevertheless, she still gave very good reactions until Liu Xin’an said he was going downstairs, at which point she finally snapped back to reality from her thoughts about the album.

"Ah? Are you hanging up now?"

"Mm... because I just came back, I haven’t gone down to greet Li Chenglu’s parents yet."

"Oh, right, you said that your two families are very close... but speaking of which, if both of your families are together and you call for Dad, would your dad, Liu Xin’an, turn his head, or would it be Chenglu’s dad?"

"..." Liu Xin’an really wanted to reach through the phone screen to the other side and tap Bae Juhyun’s head lightly, curious about what she usually thought to ask such a bizarre question.

How could she ask such an odd question?

"When they’re both there, I would definitely call him ’Uncle,’ are you silly?"

"Yah! Do you think just because you’re so far away from me now, there’s nothing I can do?"

Liu Xin’an raised an eyebrow, curious about what method she could possibly have.

"What are you going to do?"

"I have it all written down, and when you come back, I’m going to give you a big one!"

Bae Juhyun ran back to her room with her phone, pulling out a notebook from somewhere, and then she waved it at the phone screen with a look of triumph.

This cute and smug look once again made Liu Xin’an smile. He gazed tenderly at the person on the other end of the line and after a few seconds of silence, he softly said, "Alright, I really have to go now. Feel free to call me anytime, I will answer right away."

"Mm... go ahead, don’t worry about me, I won’t be bored in the dorm."

"That’s good then."

With a "thud," the video call ended.

The screen returned to the chat interface that Bae Juhyun was most familiar with.

She reached out to touch the phone screen a bit absentmindedly, as if by doing so she could stroke the cheek of that man who had just appeared on the screen.

Then, this woman who had just been smiling brightly pursed her lips, tried to smooth out the sourness in her heart, and spread the notebook out on the table.

"Damn jerk, making me miss you again..."

She muttered to herself while fiercely adding a mark behind the word "missing."

And before this latest mark, there were already two neat "permanent" marks in front...

（Korean people also use the character for "permanent"）

———

"I’ll go say hi to Uncle and the rest."

Liu Xin’an went downstairs, mumbled a word to his parents, and after getting a reply, walked straight out of the house.

Since they lived in the suburbs, there weren’t those oppressively tall buildings nearby.

Most of the residents here were elderly people, but with the approach of the New Year, many young people had finished their work for the year and returned home, injecting the slow-paced little town with the renewed vitality of youth.

Li Chenglu’s house was right next to his, close enough that one could jump over the wall and right into Li Chenglu’s yard.

Of course, the nearly 30-year-old Liu Xin’an would certainly not make such an immature move as he was not a child anymore.

He left through the front door and then entered through Li Chenglu’s front door. Approaching a two-story building, he gently knocked on the door.

After a few seconds, the door opened, and a woman who looked about eighty percent like Li Chenglu appeared before him.

Upon seeing him, the woman was first startled and then showed a surprised smile.

"Xin’an, when did you come back?"

Liu Xin’an revealed an obedient smile, letting the excited woman embrace him.

"Auntie, long time no see."
