Chapter 41: 41.The plan has a slight hiccup.

Seeing Bae Juhyun about to enter that state of diminished clarity, Liu Xin’an hurriedly got up to fetch a cup of water for Bae Juhyun.

"Here, drink some water."

But Bae Juhyun, immersed in her own acting, naturally wouldn’t just obediently take the water. She "struggled" to open her eyes and then flashed an innocently foolish smile at an obviously concerned Liu Xin’an.

Although it was a bit of a dazed smile, her high level of attractiveness ensured that she didn’t come across as silly but rather incredibly cute.

"Are you still conscious?"

Bae Juhyun remained silent. Pretending to be drunk not only forced Liu Xin’an to engage in unintentional physical contact with her, but it also answered a question that had troubled her for a long time.

That was what she actually looked like when she was drunk.

She hardly ever got drunk in front of the other members of her group, and outside, she steered clear of alcohol except when absolutely necessary.

Meaning that the only ones who had actually seen her drunk were Liu Xin’an himself and her family.

But the last time she had been drunk in front of her family was a very long time ago. She felt it was necessary to update her own information database.

So, she was genuinely curious about these past two experiences of being "drunk" in front of Liu Xin’an.

This time, she took the opportunity to observe Liu Xin’an’s reaction when she was drunk, so she could deduce what her own drunken behavior was like.

It must be said that a woman’s intelligence tends to multiply after falling in love.

She felt like she was at the height of her intelligence now!

"...Are you really drunk?"

"Mmm..."

With a soft hum, Bae Juhyun responded to Liu Xin’an, successfully deceiving him with her superb acting skills.

Of course, it was mainly because Liu Xin’an never considered that she was pretending to be drunk.

Looking at Bae Juhyun, who was frowning and appeared uncomfortable, Liu Xin’an had no choice but to do as he had done the previous times, getting closer to her, bringing the cup to Bae Juhyun’s lips, and he didn’t care if she could hear him or not, but he softly instructed the girl, "Don’t suddenly hug me again, my back still hurts from last time because of you."

Bae Juhyun, who was listening closely, was taken aback. Injuries? Hugs?

Wait...Wait a minute? That was a lot of information, and she was a bit slow to react.

However, the cool touch of the glass at her lips brought her back from her daydreaming, and she obediently drank the water Liu Xin’an handed her, then slumped back on the sofa, waiting for Liu Xin’an’s next move.

Truthfully, Bae Juhyun was nervously drumming in her heart at that moment. It was true that she trusted Liu Xin’an, but no matter what, Liu Xin’an was a man.

What if he misconstrued her getting drunk at his place three times in a row?

But the foolish act was already done, and for her to suddenly sit up now and declare that she was actually fine would be even stranger.

The water cup was taken from her lips, and Liu Xin’an’s gentle voice rang out again, almost causing Bae Juhyun, with eyes tightly shut, to curl up her lips in a smile.

"This time you’re quite well-behaved."

She really had no resistance against this kind of man who seemed indifferent to the world yet was sometimes incredibly meticulous and tender.

Just as she was trying to calm her excited emotions, an arm slipping around her knees caused a jolt in her heart.

Was it coming? Was she about to experience the princess carry at Liu Xin’an’s place once again?!

Immediately after, Liu Xin’an’s other hand wrapped around from her back, pulling her shoulder into his embrace.

Next, she felt her body lighten, and the sense of weightlessness made her involuntarily let out a shriek, but she didn’t completely panic; her eyes remained firmly closed, not letting Liu Xin’an discover that she was pretending to be drunk.

Of course, her somewhat shrill scream made Liu Xin’an subconsciously frown.

Receiving such a "scream attack" from Bae Juhyun at close quarters wasn’t really good news for his eardrums.

But how could he take these things seriously with a drunk person? At most, he reminded himself again that under no circumstances should he drink with Bae Juhyun ever again.

Absolutely! Not even if she acted cute or coquettish.

Walking steadily, Liu Xin’an carried Bae Juhyun towards the bedroom.

After pushing open the bedroom door, he came to the side of the bed and gently placed Bae Juhyun on his bed, also making sure to unfold the neatly stacked blanket on the side to cover her up.

Today, she was wearing a skirt, and while carrying her, he had avoided touching the girl’s skin, even going as far as not using his hands to touch her legs but rather wrapped his arms around her legs over the layer of clothing.

Although the room was warm, it wouldn’t be good if she caught a cold, so covering her up with a blanket... at least her legs needed to be covered.

After all this, Liu Xin’an didn’t immediately leave but sat quietly beside the bed, watching "sleeping" Bae Juhyun.

Perhaps because she had only had one bottle? Bae Juhyun was much quieter now than the previous two times she had been drunk.

It was just uncertain whether she would stay this quiet later on.

Last time, Bae Juhyun’s pained expression was still vivid in his mind, and to be able to comfort this friend with many worries in time, he felt he should wait a little longer.

He had already turned off the grill outside earlier, so there was no safety hazard.

But Liu Xin’an’s attentiveness made it rather hard for Bae Juhyun, who was pretending to be drunk.

Because she had no idea what state Liu Xin’an was in right now, she dared not open her eyes at the moment.

Moreover, she hadn’t heard Liu Xin’an’s footsteps at all, so she was certain that he must still be in the bedroom.

What’s the situation now?

Bae Juhyun couldn’t figure it out.

After lying quietly for five minutes, Bae Juhyun got a bit restless.

Is this person... up to something odd?

The girls talked about much more open subjects when they got together than one might imagine, and under the influence of those unreliable sisters, Bae Juhyun had also seen her fair share of odd stuff.

All sorts of bizarre possibilities flashed through her mind, and although she was quite certain that Liu Xin’an wasn’t a weird person, the odd thoughts still made her somewhat conflicted.

In the end, Bae Juhyun decided to temporarily abandon her plan to pretend to be drunk. After all, she had only had one bottle today, and it made sense for the drunkenness to be short-lived, right?

With her mind made up, Bae Juhyun slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing that came into view was naturally the ceiling of Liu Xin’an’s bedroom, which she was very familiar with.

"Hmm~"

She let out a "careless" moan, and sure enough, she immediately heard Liu Xin’an’s voice.

"Awake?"

Only then did Bae Juhyun dare to turn her head to look at the bedside, where Liu Xin’an was sitting, holding his phone and looking at her with concern.

It was not until then that Bae Juhyun felt the guilt that lying brought.

Her cheeks turned red with embarrassment as she continued her act.

"Did I fall asleep?"

"Yes, you even snored," Liu Xin’an’s reply made Bae Juhyun’s eyes widen in shock.

What nonsense was this man spouting? There was no way she snored!

But at that moment, she didn’t dare to get up and argue. Rather than exposing her act, she preferred to be a woman who snored after getting drunk!

"Really?"

"Really."

Liu Xin’an felt he needed something strong to deter her from the idea of drinking at his place in the future.

"Not only snoring, but you also ground your teeth."

"..." Bae Juhyun tried to curse someone with her eyes.

But Liu Xin’an confidently took Bae Juhyun’s speechless expression as embarrassment, and then said in a heartfelt tone, "So, promise me, never get drunk at a man’s house again; it’s very dangerous."

Bae Juhyun was startled and seemed to understand why Liu Xin’an was lying to discredit her.

A happy smile appeared on the girl’s face, as if she hadn’t just been cursing someone with her eyes a moment ago.

"Would you do anything to me?"

Alcohol did have a way of boosting one’s courage.

Bae Juhyun took the opportunity to voice her innermost thoughts.

In fact, if they were in an ambiguous environment, Liu Xin’an could have caught the hidden meaning in Bae Juhyun’s words.

It wasn’t a question, but an affirmation.

Since Bae Juhyun dared to drink at his house, it meant that she trusted he would not do anything bad.

It was essentially Bae Juhyun’s awkward way of showing her trust in him or maybe her fondness for him.

If a girl is so relaxed at your house, what else could it mean but that she likes you?

But what was the atmosphere now?

A "drunk" woman and a completely innocent man?

To cut Bae Juhyun off from her "bad habit" of drinking, Liu Xin’an scoffed disingenuously, "Dream on, I prefer women with a bit more figure."

"..."

This time Liu Xin’an seemed to actually hear the sound of teeth grinding.
