Chapter 301: 226. What matters is who you are with (thanks to second sister, the Alliance Hierarch who reunited with the boss! 8.1.2/4)

Actually, sometimes Liu Xin’an found it quite hilarious.

The size of Korea really wasn’t substantial, at most it was comparable to the domestic province of Suzhou and Zhejiang.

In this country scarce in culinary variety, if you didn’t know the specialty foods of each place, you could just answer with "bibimbap" and it would never be a problem.

The so-called Suwon special bibimbap actually wasn’t any different from the takeout Liu Xin’an ordered in Seoul.

If there had to be a difference, I suppose it could be the name?

Ah, and it’s a bit cheaper than in Seoul, given that the prices here aren’t as high.

After the waiter had left upon serving the food, Bae Juhyun, seated opposite Liu Xin’an, finally carefully removed her face mask from one ear and gazed with sparkling eyes at the delicious-looking bibimbap in front of her.

There was no rush to eat even if she was famished; Bae Juhyun had to let her phone feast first.

After some thought, she ultimately decided to spare her members; if she snapped a photo and sent it to their group chat, Kang Seulgi would probably fight with her tooth and nail tomorrow.

That wouldn’t be good.

The phone having had its meal, it was finally Bae Juhyun’s turn to eat.

The reason bibimbap was called such is because it was meant to be mixed thoroughly with the rice and the vegetables before eating.

With the sauce acting as a binder, soon Juhyun had thoroughly mixed the bibimbap to a state where it could be scooped up with a spoon.

Liu Xin’an chose to go with the local custom; he mixed his rice as well and took a spoonful to his mouth.

As for the taste... it was alright. With vegetables, meat, crunchy bean sprouts, and soft, sticky rice, the texture of the bite was quite rich.

"Mmm~ This is super delicious, what do you think?"

There it was, Juhyun’s habitual, show-like exaggerated reaction.

Entertainers really have certain reactions ingrained deep into their bones.

Like the forced smile, the natural responses when faced with a camera, or... their exaggerated expressions when tasting delicious food.

Watching Juhyun, who was frowning in an effort to contain her admiration, Liu Xin’an inexplicably felt that the otherwise average-tasting bibimbap suddenly seemed much tastier.

Was it because Juhyun’s way of eating made the meal look appetizing, or was the presence of Juhyun herself a feast for the eyes?

Liu Xin’an found it difficult to give an accurate answer, but one indisputable fact was that the bibimbap tasted better.

After eating the bibimbap, there was no hurry to leave right away. Although they had planned to visit Suwon, this date wasn’t about going somewhere particularly beautiful to be considered a date. As long as they were together, whether for Liu Xin’an or for Bae Juhyun, it could be deemed a perfect date.

Clearly, this sparsely populated small town was a very good choice.

The town wasn’t large, but it wasn’t lacking in some tall buildings.

The roads were lined with greenery, and there weren’t many pedestrians, probably because many were at work at the moment.

In half an hour or so, those at work would have their lunch break and the town might get livelier.

So this half an hour was a rare moment of tranquility as Juhyun and Xin’an walked hand in hand, curiously surveying their surroundings.

"This looks familiar, I think I’ve been here before."

It’s no exaggeration to say that Juhyun had toured all of Seoul during her years of work. Even if she couldn’t immediately recall exactly why she had come here, she was certain she had been here before.

"If you can’t remember, let’s not dwell on it. Isn’t it better to pretend it’s our first time here?"

"That’s also true."

Listened to Xin’an’s advice, Juhyun decided not to search her memory for any recollections of the area.

She gripped his hand tightly, the gradually increasing strength causing Xin’an to look puzzled.

The next second, the woman he was looking at covertly pulled down her mask and flashed him a brilliant smile, like a garden in full bloom.

Xin’an’s breath hitched for an instant, but immediately after, he hastily pulled her mask back up and began to look around vigilantly as if watching out for wolves.

The overly cautious action made the woman beside him shake with uncontrollable laughter.

It was only after Xin’an was sure that no one was watching them that he gave Juhyun, still bent over with laughter, a baffled glare.

"You really have a death wish, don’t you?"

"What’s the big deal? If I’m exposed, would you feel pressured?"

"Er... pressure? Even if you don’t get exposed, I’d still feel it. If your fans ever find out about me, I’d probably feel just a tiny bit of pressure."

Xin’an showed a very tiny gap between his thumb and index finger, but he then paused and quickly loosened his hands while lowering his voice.

"If I make this gesture on the street, could it provoke some sensitive guys to come after me and beat me up?"

This gesture apparently had a mocking connotation on the internet towards Korean men’s manhood.

Xin’an often saw that some local celebrities, because of accidentally making such a gesture, got cyberbullied by the locals.

Frankly, Xin’an found it preposterous; one must be deeply insecure to react like that...

Anyway, he wouldn’t be sensitive about such a thing; he didn’t have anything to be ashamed of.

"Stop, don’t joke like that."

Such jokes that offended Korean men naturally didn’t offend Juhyun.

She pursed her lips, her voice trembling as she tried hard to hold back her laughter.

Xin’an, rather uncharitably, let out a sigh of relief and then teased, "Thank goodness no one saw it."

"Pffhahaha..."

After laughing for a while and strolling around with Xin’an, Juhyun suddenly remembered the bet she had made with Xin’an yesterday.
