Chapter 218: 188. Surviving a Disaster (Please subscribe! Vote for monthly tickets!)

Bae Juhyun always had a strange competitive spirit in some odd places.

Just like now.

When Li Chenglu, truly worn out by the neighbor’s marriage pestering, went out to find the two, each of them were holding a pack of "Red Spiders," with several cans in front of them.

"What if mine goes higher than yours this time?"

Liu Xin’an furrowed his brow, crouching on the ground, staring at his Coke can thoughtfully for a long time before finally looking up at Bae Juhyun.

"I won’t nag about your drinking anymore."

"OK! No backing out."

"No backing out, but what if I win?"

"If you win, I still won’t nag about your drinking."

Liu Xin’an nodded subconsciously, then suddenly realized something was amiss.

He didn’t need Bae Juhyun to manage his drinking anyway; he wasn’t like this "one-bottle-down" girl.

But it was too late to change the terms now, Bae Juhyun swiftly lit the firecracker and then placed the can over it, excitedly running to the side with her hands over her ears, waiting expectantly.

A few seconds later.

Following a muffled "bang," the battered can shot up like a rocket, soaring high.

After tracing a beautiful arc in the air, it fell to the ground.

The height it reached made Bae Juhyun intensely excited; she looked at Liu Xin’an with urging eyes, signaling him not to cheat and to start quickly.

But seeing the can’s height, Liu Xin’an already regretted it. However, admitting his regret directly would be somewhat humiliating, so he decided to divert the topic.

Just then, Li Chenglu, walking by with her hands in her pockets, caught his eye.

Under Bae Juhyun’s astonished gaze, Liu Xin’an stepped forward and flattened his can, then as if realizing he had done something wrong, sheepishly lifted his foot.

"Ah! Sorry, Juhyun, it’s all because Li Chenglu came over, I wasn’t paying attention!"

Bae Juhyun was almost humorously infuriated by Liu Xin’an’s shameless excuse; she pocketed the box of Red Spiders that brought her honor and started marching towards Liu Xin’an, sleeves rolled up.

This startled Liu Xin’an. He quickly ran behind Li Chenglu, attempting to use her as a shield.

"Yah! Come out!"

Her usually sweet tone reverted to her real voice, as Bae Juhyun, suppressing her rage, chastised the shameless guy behind Li Chenglu.

"It really wasn’t on purpose, it’s all Li Chenglu’s fault. If she hadn’t come, I definitely wouldn’t have accidentally stepped on the can."

"Nonsense! What does Chenglu have to do with this, you clearly knew you couldn’t win so you purposely cheated!"

"It’s true!"

"Liar!"

Li Chenglu didn’t want to speak up because she was already numbed.

In the end, this small farce concluded with Bae Juhyun giving Liu Xin’an a few hard punches.

The coat was thick, Bae Juhyun’s punches actually didn’t even break his guard...

Calling it a massage might even be a compliment.

Bae Juhyun’s strange competitive spirit was well known to her fan, Li Chenglu.

She just didn’t expect that her childhood friend Liu Xin’an would also be influenced by Bae Juhyun.

And... to compete over such childish things.

She suppressed the urge to criticise internally, looking at the two playful figures beside her, sighed.

It’s the New Year’s, and we haven’t even eaten dumplings, yet we’re already filling up on dog food, huh?

"Why did you think of playing this again?"

She looked around at the scattered firecracker paper, asking in confusion.

"Juhyun is curious about firecrackers, so we played around with them a bit, do you want to try?"

Liu Xin’an would naturally avoid mentioning in front of Li Chenglu that his girlfriend was scared of firecrackers; he would surely preserve his girlfriend’s dignity.

"No thanks. Let’s go back; it’s freezing outside."

Li Chenglu disliked winter; she couldn’t stand the cold. Besides escaping the neighbor’s marriage talk, another reason she came out was to bring the two back for a meal.

The sound of bursting firecrackers no longer frightened Bae Juhyun; she lightly dusted off the smell of gunpowder from her hands, making a face of disgust, then stealthily approached Liu Xin’an... never mind, Liu Xin’an was also wearing a white coat, matching like a couple with hers. She decided to spare him.

She was too kind.

"Have you had lunch yet?"

"Ugh, my family is driving me crazy with marriage talk. I wish my mom could chill out like my godmom—such a headache."

Li Chenglu found this topic annoying, her family was much less liberal than Liu Xin’an’s in this regard.

Er... to be precise, her mom was too anxious.

Li Changhe, utterly devoted to his daughter, would naturally prefer Li Chenglu not to marry at all. He was willing to take care of his exceptional daughter for life. Why on earth would he hand her over to another man for no good reason?

But Wu Xiu didn’t think the same way.

Wu Xiu felt she had successfully married for love, had a wonderful husband, a well-behaved, excellent daughter, and even caring, close neighbors, and a handsome, cheerful godson.

A person overly blessed by happiness naturally wants to teach others about their own happy experiences.

Moreover, the person she wanted to teach was her own daughter.

So Wu Xiu always urged Li Chenglu to marry soon, as if she had already assumed that Li Chenglu would also marry for love.

But who decides these things?

"Is your uncle hurrying you to marry?" Bae Juhyun blinked, curiously looking at Li Chenglu.

She also knew what women of this age should typically be doing; being an artist made her an exception, but... Li Chenglu, almost turning 28, was indeed at an age to marry.
