Because it was outside at that moment, Liu Xin’an’s cheeks were chilly to the touch, feeling icy cold, which was quite pleasant.

Bae Juhyun’s small hands were very warm, so having her cheeks pinched by him wasn’t too uncomfortable.

Finally, the string of firecrackers ended, and Bae Juhyun relaxed, releasing Liu Xin’an’s cheeks.

"Will these sudden firecracker sounds continue?" Bae Juhyun asked, still feeling the aftershocks.

The answer, which brought tears to her eyes, was Liu Xin’an nodding.

"To be precise, it will last for several days, and tonight should be the loudest."

"Ah? What should I do then?"

Bae Juhyun felt as if she would die from the anxiety. If these abrupt explosions continued, she genuinely believed they might scare her to death.

This was indeed a frustrating situation, but fortunately, Liu Xin’an came up with an idea.

"Juhyun, have you ever set off firecrackers?"

"Me? No."

"How about you give it a try? Maybe if you set off a few yourself, you won’t be scared anymore?"

Liu Xin’an thought this ’fight fire with fire’ approach might work, at least to show Bae Juhyun that firecrackers were not to be feared.

However, aside from "Bae Scared", Bae Juhyun had another nickname given by the fans.

"Bae Cherishes Life"

Simply put, she wouldn’t put herself in jeopardy.

Everything she subjectively considered to be dangerous or scary was mercilessly rejected by her.

Firecrackers... Exploding?!

"I won’t!" Bae Juhyun backed away two steps, standing next to a utility pole, her beautiful eyes full of refusal, her usually sweet voice becoming firm.

"It’s really fun, Chenglu and I used to love setting off firecrackers when we were little, it’s not as exaggerated as you think."

"What if it explodes on me? I won’t, absolutely not!"

"How could it explode on you? It’s really simple."

"Ah!" Bae Juhyun screamed because Liu Xin’an, this scoundrel, was already grinning as he walked towards her with his hand outstretched.

No, it was too scary, absolutely not, Bae Juhyun could not accept it.

Unfortunately, her short legs were lagging behind again at this moment.

As Liu Xin’an grabbed her hand, she struggled vigorously, but her strength was indeed no match for Liu Xin’an.

Having no choice, Bae Juhyun squatted down, planning to use her body weight to forcibly stop Liu Xin’an from dragging her across.

But...

"Yah!!"

How could her slight weight stop Liu Xin’an’s actions?

After being dragged across the ground for a distance, Bae Juhyun screamed in horror.

Liu Xin’an stopped, feeling it wasn’t right to keep dragging her towards the store.

Falling and getting injured would be troublesome, so he simply came beside Bae Juhyun, who was squatting and covering her head, and bent down to support his girlfriend’s legs.

Then, under Bae Juhyun’s dazed expression, he directly lifted her up.

Indeed, lifted...

Just like carrying a platter, he lifted her up.

Jokingly, the weights he lifted at the gym were much heavier than Bae Juhyun, who weighed less than 90 jin; her weight really couldn’t cause much trouble in his hands.

"Liu Xin’an, put me down!"

"Then don’t think about running away."

"I won’t run, just put me down, this is so embarrassing!"

Even with the cover of a mask, Bae Juhyun still felt the mocking gazes of the passers-by on the roadsides blushing her cheeks.

Bae Juhyun would rather die a physical death than a social one if she had to choose.

Never underestimate the protective instinct of a woman over her self-image, especially if she’s a celebrity!

Liu Xin’an put his girlfriend down, and Bae Juhyun quickly straightened her waist, pretending nonchalantly to brush off the nonexistent dirt on her jacket, then with a flick of her eyes, she turned and ran.

A minute later, Bae Juhyun was squatting again, being dragged by Liu Xin’an in a very embarrassing posture towards the store.

"Ah~ I really won’t run anymore, please stop dragging me."

"Really?"

"Really, really."

"Alright then."

Liu Xin’an released his grip, and this sudden release caused Bae Juhyun to fall bottom-down due to momentum.

Fortunately, she had been squatting all along, so sitting down unintentionally wasn’t painful.

But perhaps because her actions were indeed too silly, silly enough to make her laugh herself, she covered her mouth with both hands and couldn’t help but start laughing.

Her infectiously cheerful laughter also made Liu Xin’an, squatting in front of Bae Juhyun, start laughing with her.

Only after they had laughed enough did they ignore those well-meaning glances and hold hands again.

"I won’t set off firecrackers anyway. You could kill me and I still wouldn’t do it."

"Ha... then you watching me do it is fine, right?"

"Hmm... that works, I’ll try." Bae Juhyun nodded.

In the end, they both compromised, but Liu Xin’an was still quite confident, as setting off firecrackers was irresistible for people of all ages.

At least after buying several boxes of ’Red Spiders’, the excited smile never left Liu Xin’an’s face.

Bae Juhyun also held a box of ’Red Spiders’, inspecting something completely foreign to her, but just thinking about the explosive sounds that startled her made her face scrunch in disgust.

"What’s fun about this?"

Liu Xin’an grinned, showing his disdain for Bae Juhyun’s naivety.

He didn’t answer, but instead pulled Bae Juhyun behind him and opened one of the boxes of ’Red Spider’ firecrackers.

The firecrackers were black, with a red flammable fuse on one side.

The other side of the package had sandpaper that could be used to strike a fire. After looking around to make sure no one was there, he turned his head to look at Bae Juhyun, who had shrunk behind him.

"I’m going to light it."

"You! How are you going to set it off?"

"Just light it and throw it."

"Light it? In your hand?" As if hearing an unbelievable answer, Bae Juhyun couldn’t stop repeating Liu Xin’an’s words.

"Yes, what about it?"

Bae Juhyun fell silent, released her grip on Liu Xin’an’s coat, and found a corner to cover her ears while watching him from afar.

She certainly didn’t want to be affected.

"You can do it now."

"Ah, it won’t hurt me, why are you running so far away?"

"I don’t trust you, you’re definitely thinking about throwing the firecracker near me and watching me panic!"

It must be said, Bae Juhyun knew Liu Xin’an too well. She believed this was something he could do.

However...

This time she really was overthinking it.

And not only was she overthinking, her thought process enlightened Liu Xin’an.

So, under Bae Juhyun’s horrified gaze, he shifted on the balls of his feet, turning from facing the open area to facing Bae Juhyun.

This made the already nervous Bae Juhyun tremble even more.

"You... Liu Xin’an! I’m your girlfriend!"

Although reason told Bae Juhyun that Liu Xin’an definitely wouldn’t do something to truly bully or scare her,

But what can I say... seeing this guy’s mischievous expression, she couldn’t help feeling genuinely nervous and scared.

What if, right?

This guy had shown her many sides she had never seen before over the past few days.

Maybe after getting home, Liu Xin’an would reveal a devilish side?

That was entirely possible, undeniable!

Fortunately, Liu Xin’an indeed wouldn’t do something unscrupulous like scaring his girlfriend too much. He wouldn’t actually light the firecracker and throw it at her feet.

He used to play like this with Li Chenglu, but as for Bae Juhyun...

With a "sizzle", a flame soared under Bae Juhyun’s nervous yet curious gaze. Liu Xin’an, holding the firecracker in his hand,

didn’t throw it but just held it in his hand.

This action made the watching Bae Juhyun incredibly anxious.

"Throw it! Throw it Xin’an!"

Liu Xin’an, confident, waited another second or so before finally throwing the firecracker far away.

With a "bang", the firecracker exploded, making Bae Juhyun flinch.

But...

It seemed indeed as Liu Xin’an had said, it wasn’t as scary as she had imagined.
