Chapter 585: 320. The innate talent of the Chinese people?_2

"*Cough*, well, Seulgi just had to send me a message, I had no choice!"

"Give me your phone."

"It’s true!" Bae Juhyun’s beautiful eyes widened in disbelief, was this person actually doubting her?

"I’m not doubting you, I’m just worried you’ll get distracted again, so I’m confiscating your phone first."

"Ah? But without my phone, I can’t relax..."

"Nice try, hand it over."

"Oh..."

After tearfully parting with her phone, Bae Juhyun quickly straightened up, putting on an "I’m working hard" face.

Just God knows how long she could maintain it.

"Learn some more vocabulary, since you’ve pretty much gotten the hang of the pinyin."

"Yes, yes, yes."

"...Just in case, you haven’t forgotten the pinyin, have you?"

"How could I!" Bae Juhyun asserted without a hint of apprehension.

She felt sure she hadn’t forgotten the pinyin, which actually wasn’t so hard. The difficulty lay in the pronunciation... she really was giving her all in trying to control her tongue.

Speaking of which... Liu Xin’an was so good at kissing, could it be related to the fact that he was Chinese?

So flexible...

"*Slap!*"

With her cheeks flushing red, Bae Juhyun abruptly patted her own warm face. What kind of nonsense was she thinking about?

Focus on studying!

Startled by her slapping herself, Liu Xin’an was taken aback, but seeing the earnestness in Bae Juhyun’s eyes, he didn’t say much, just placed the laptop in front of her and opened a new document.

"Type out the pinyin for my name."

"Ah?" Bae Juhyun wilted, visibly slumping in her resolve.

"Can’t I type out my own name instead?"

"I think, perhaps we should establish some sort of reward system?"

"Ah?"

"If you get it right, I can give you a massage for at least 30 minutes, no charge." Liu Xin’an stated, as if his massage services were some kind of invaluable offering.

Cheating someone else might work, but did Bae Juhyun not know about Liu Xin’an, the scoundrel?

A massage? Who knew where his wandering hands would end up in the midst of that.

"You call that a massage?"

"A proper, decent massage, I won’t mess around, just relax the muscles."

"Nonetheless, I don’t have much muscle."

"...Then come up with a reward you do want."

Bae Juhyun frowned, pondering hard.

She actually didn’t have any special wishes for Liu Xin’an to fulfill; the thing was, whether she won or not, if she asked, Liu Xin’an would do it.

What good was a reward, then?

"I can’t really think of anything special I want you to do..."

"...How about something more common, then?"

"Common?"

"If you get it all right, 2 million Korean won. I’ll transfer it to your card immediately."

Bae Juhyun’s beautiful eyes instantly lit up; it wasn’t that she was greedy. It was just... her odd competitive streak resurfaced.

"Deal! And if I can’t do it, I’ll give you 2 million!"

"It’s a deal."

With the incentive mechanism in place, Bae Juhyun finally took an interest in learning Chinese.

Although... the driving force behind this interest was money.

But undeniably, if it worked, it was a good thing.

Bae Juhyun knew how her own name should be pronounced. She steadied her hands on the keyboard while repeatedly muttering "Bae Juhyun," her own name.

After about a minute of contemplation, she finally took a "do-or-die" approach, cautiously yet confidently pressed the keys.

Soon, a line of letters appeared in the document.

"pei zhu xuan"

"Wow! Pretty impressive."

Liu Xin’an’s praise made Bae Juhyun breathe a sigh of relief.

Honestly, she had hesitated for a long time between "zhu" and "chu."

It seems that fortune was still on her side, huh~

The satisfaction of victory had Miss Bae waving her eyebrows and her fair, jade-like hands were gently bending, demanding her phone back.

"The money, quick."

"Don’t rush, there’s more, want to continue?"

"Stop it, let’s settle this first, then we can talk about what’s next!"

She might be riding high, but that didn’t mean she was foolish.

Money was definitely more fun when you had it in hand, solid and real.

"Alright, I’ve transferred it. So, do we go on?"

"Of course!"

But... if there was a chance to make more, why not earn as much as possible~

It’s just Chinese, look at her effortlessly nibbling away!

———

"Okay, just memorize these last ten words and that’s it, not hard, right?"

"You already said it was the last time!"

Bae Juhyun’s beautiful black hair had already been tousled by her own hands beyond recognition.

It wasn’t supposed to be like this, although she indeed used the excuse of learning Chinese from Liu Xin’an to proudly leave the hotel.

But... this wasn’t her intention!

She wanted to stick close to Liu Xin’an, to hug, even to kiss would have been fine.

Watching a movie or playing a game together... how did it suddenly turn into a lesson?

Even a lesson would be bearable, but this guy breaks his promises.

What was supposed to be 30 words, that bastard Liu Xin’an had increased to 50!

"Really, just the last ten words, you’ve already earned 8 million Korean won, don’t you want to earn a bit more?"

million Korean won was already almost 40,000 yuan, that was not a small amount of money.

However, Liu Xin’an wouldn’t feel the slightest pinch in spending this money on Bae Juhyun.

Apart from providing a better life for his parents, isn’t making money all about spending on the person you like?

His parents certainly didn’t need him much anymore... and he had long taken care of the household expenses, so now the extra money, aside from adding some live-streaming equipment and game hardware for himself, was mostly spent on Bae Juhyun.

"Come on!"

"This one, ’hobby’." Liu Xin’an pointed at the word on the paper and pronounced it clearly and loudly.

"Eat well."

"It’s not ’chi’, it’s ’shi’."

Miss Bae frowned, seriously watching Liu Xin’an’s mouth movements, then looked puzzled.

What’s the difference.

"shi"

"chi"

"Eh... hobby."

"Eat well."

"..."

"..."

Liu Xin’an had an exasperated look on his face—the retroflex initials zh, ch, sh were really not that easy for foreigners.

It was common for them to get confused.

And it’s not just foreigners, even many natives can’t clearly distinguish these sounds...

But to Bae Juhyun, Liu Xin’an’s exasperation was naturally supplemented in her mind by her own interpretations...

"Are you implying that I’m dumb?"

The sound of grievance snapped Liu Xin’an out of his helplessness, and he looked at Bae Juhyun’s sullen face and laughed, "What are you talking about, I just find it cute that your tongue can’t quite make the twist."

"It can definitely twist!"

The indignant Miss Bae stuck out her tongue, a cute curled pink tongue, and as a singer, controlling her oral pronunciation was a basic skill—she couldn’t possibly fail to learn it.

It’s just... her mind hadn’t made the necessary twist.

Right, it definitely wasn’t about her tongue not being able to twist.

Seeing Bae Juhyun’s stubborn antics, Liu Xin’an took a deep breath and secretly swallowed his saliva.

This woman really did have a way of unintentionally emitting a charm that was hard to resist, just like now.

Did he not know whether her little tongue could twist or not?

He was just using a metaphor.

"Okay, okay, let’s stop here for today, forty words should be enough for you to slowly revise."

"Phew..."

Bae Juhyun finally relaxed, she exhaled a breath of relief and slumped lazily against the back of the sofa.

As long as she didn’t have to continue studying... come to think of it, earning 8 million for just learning 40 words is faster than making money as an artist!

She hoped Liu Xin’an would always urge her to study like this.

Snatching her phone back from Liu Xin’an, Bae Juhyun flipped through her account contentedly.

She didn’t really have much to spend on, she just simply liked watching her money grow.

This really did bring a genuine sense of pleasure to her heart.

Just when she was enjoying herself, a shadow enveloped her body from above, causing Bae Juhyun to startle.

Before she could gather her wits, Liu Xin’an scooped her up in his arms.

The phone that wasn’t held firmly fell onto the sofa.

"Ah!" she exclaimed, instinctively hugging the man’s neck. Once she calmed down a bit, she smiled and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Time to rest."

"Stop it!"

"Really!"

"Then don’t touch me!"

"Okay!"

"You’re clearly lying!"

Liu Xin’an put on an innocent face, since she wouldn’t believe the truth anyway, he might as well be the bad guy in Bae Juhyun’s mind.

Yes, Liu Xin’an easily convinced himself.
