Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?
Chapter 60. The First Hug

Chapter 60: 60. The First Hug

"How does it feel?"

"Mmm..."

Bae Juhyun responded in a muffled voice, this had already surpassed comfortable and relaxed levels.

If Liu Xin’an hadn’t spoken to her, she might have just fallen asleep right then.

No, she hadn’t achieved today’s goal yet, even if she fell asleep, she had to hug Liu Xin’an first!

However, for Liu Xin’an, who was concentrating on the massage, this was a painfully blissful "job."

When had he ever had such intimate contact with a girl?

Even Li Chenglu, who had grown up with him like childhood sweethearts, had never enjoyed such gentle treatment from him.

Aside from focusing on the massage, a mess of thoughts also gradually filled Liu Xin’an’s mind.

Are girls’ bodies this frail?

Almost every time he applied pressure, he would feel a rebound from Bae Juhyun’s delicate skin.

Even through a shirt, he could still feel the astonishing delicateness and slimness of the girl before him.

Finally, the grueling massage session ended.

With all the tension gone from her shoulders, Bae Juhyun moved her shoulders and then turned around to look at Liu Xin’an in surprise.

"You are really good at this! Be honest, have you ever massaged another woman before?"

"How could that be? I work out almost every day. If I didn’t know how to relax, my body wouldn’t be able to take it. I also have a fascia gun; do you want to try it?"

Bae Juhyun hastily waved her hands, she was convinced, but she’d rather not deal with a fascia gun.

Although she hadn’t used it herself, she had seen others use it on variety shows...

It definitely wasn’t something that made people comfortable.

She didn’t want to try it.

"Too bad, that really feels comfortable."

"Then keep it for yourself. From now on, I’ll leave the massage duties to you."

"You’re welcome to come anytime."

Liu Xin’an, feeling more at ease, begun to joke around. He replied with a smile and even made the polite gesture of a waiter welcoming guests.

However, since he was sitting down, his attempt at the gesture came off a bit silly.

Bae Juhyun burst into laughter, covering her mouth with one hand, and then looked at Liu Xin’an with her beautiful eyes before suddenly speaking.

"Come here."

Liu Xin’an froze, but still obediently moved closer to Bae Juhyun’s position.

"Come closer."

"Uh..."

Liu Xin’an continued to move.

This time, he was very close to Bae Juhyun.

The fragrance once again uncontrollably surged into his nostrils, causing Liu Xin’an to subconsciously hold his breath.

Bae Juhyun didn’t notice Liu Xin’an’s odd behavior; she took a deep breath and made up her mind.

Afterward, she leaned into Liu Xin’an, sending herself into his embrace as if throwing herself into his arms.

She wrapped her arms around Liu Xin’an’s waist, relaxed completely, and leaned against his chest.

Then, as Liu Xin’an stiffened, she said softly with a cheek flushed and a voice almost a whisper, "This is the payment for your services."

"What?"

"The payment for the massage."

Having achieved her goal, Bae Juhyun let go of her hands and thought about making her escape.

As she had already fulfilled her purpose for today, she was satisfied.

Although his embrace was unusually warm and comforting to her,

if she kept clinging on, he would definitely find her strange.

Despite just establishing their relationship, she had eagerly thrown herself into his arms.

If she was mistaken for someone weird, that wouldn’t be good.

But once the rabbit has fallen into the wolf’s grasp, escaping isn’t an easy matter.

Feeling the arms around his waist trying to escape, Liu Xin’an instinctively tightened his embrace around the fragrant shoulders of the girl in his arms.

Before Bae Juhyun could react, he had securely wrapped her in his embrace.

Now Bae Juhyun was the one who felt awkward—of course, mostly embarrassed.

"Ah! I’ve already made the payment!"

Bae Juhyun’s tender body was thoroughly enjoyable for Liu Xin’an, making him feel less nervous and stiff.

That confident man returned to form.

"Ma’am, there are bigger discounts for early payments."

He whispered close to Bae Juhyun’s ear, his voice filled with a magnetic quality.

Along with his voice, came his warm breath.

The smell that uniquely belonged to Liu Xin’an from all directions gradually made the initially struggling Bae Juhyun lose her "will to survive." Her earlobes turned pink, and the comfortable embrace made her not want to leave at all.

After all, she was grabbed and held without explanation by him so...she probably wouldn’t be mistaken for someone weird, right?

With this thought, Bae Juhyun, no longer struggling, hung her head low, not daring to glance at Liu Xin’an even once.

"So... what are the discounts?"

"Here’s a free ten-minute hugging experience card~"

"Who... who would want this!" Bae Juhyun said stubbornly, but her arms, which wrapped around Liu Xin’an’s waist again, betrayed her true desire, "Change it!"

"How about fulfilling a small wish for you, our guest?"

Liu Xin’an suggested with a smile.

This "discount" made Bae Juhyun, who had been looking down, lift her head excitedly.

"Really?"

"Mm, but the condition is you have to charge for over half an hour of hugging service."

Liu Xin’an, who was gradually getting used to physical contact, began to show his cheeky nature.

Bae Juhyun was stunned momentarily and humorously pulled her hand away to smack the forehead of this greedy guy.

"Too greedy, ten minutes at most."

"That’s fine."

Bae Juhyun was startled and felt a bit regretful.

She had thought this guy would bargain.

Now, the words she had said were like water that had been spilled.

She felt too embarrassed to stay any longer in Liu Xin’an’s arms.

Hugging someone you like is such a relaxing experience.

Add to that Liu Xin’an being so quiet, the comfort of his embrace, and the warmth of his arms, coupled with the relaxation from a previous massage, sleepiness silently crept up on her.

Bae Juhyun tried hard to resist because once she fell asleep, she wouldn’t be able to feel Liu Xin’an’s embrace anymore.

But the enemy was indeed quite formidable.

As the arms wrapped around her waist started to slide, the belatedly aware Liu Xin’an finally lowered his head to look at the small head in his arms.

"Bae Juhyun?"

Of course, Bae Juhyun, now thoroughly asleep, couldn’t possibly answer him.

Looking at his girlfriend’s peaceful sleeping face in his arms, Liu Xin’an smiled helplessly.

Less than three minutes of the ten had passed... and this person was already dodging the bill.

However, seeing Bae Juhyun’s sleeping form, he seemed to understand that she had indeed had a tough day today.

So he didn’t continue to let Bae Juhyun sleep in a clinging position in his arms, but instead carefully picked her up.

The familiar princess carry, only this time, their relationship was no longer just that of ordinary neighbors or close friends.

Being in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship made Liu Xin’an slow his steps, fearing that the slight rise and fall of his footsteps might wake the Bae Juhyun in his arms.

And so, until he had placed Bae Juhyun on the bed, the girl had still kept her eyes tightly shut, her lips curled into a sweet smile.

She must be having some fun and happy dream... if possible, Liu Xin’an hoped he could also appear in that dream.

———

Bae Juhyun ended up sleeping more than five hours straight.

The pitch-black bedroom made Bae Juhyun somewhat startled, but she quickly remembered what had happened before she lost consciousness.

Bae Juhyun stretched out both hands on the bed groping around, but she didn’t find her phone or... that guy, Liu Xin’an.

With a relieved sigh, Bae Juhyun held her forehead with some headache, not because she actually had a headache.

It was just that she regretted not having enjoyed that warm embrace enough before she unwittingly fell asleep.

However... now, with their relationship, probably Liu Xin’an wouldn’t refuse if she asked him to hold her again.

And then there was the wish...

Wait a minute!

The wish!

Had she stayed in Liu Xin’an’s arms for ten minutes?!

If not, would that wish still count?

Panic-stricken, Bae Juhyun scrambled out of bed, first turning on the bedside lamp. The orange-yellow soft light finally gave Bae Juhyun some visibility.

The outside had turned completely dark, which was good news—it at least meant she hadn’t slept till the crack of dawn.

However, Liu Xin’an wasn’t in the bed—the guy was probably on the living room couch by now.

With this thought, Bae Juhyun drank down the water Liu Xin’an had left by the bed before walking across the warm floor in her socks.

She opened her bedroom door, the pitch-black living room still made it difficult for her to discern the current time.

However, using the moonlight, she eventually saw Liu Xin’an lying quietly asleep on the couch.

And next to the couch were her own pink slippers.

Probably Liu Xin’an had forgotten to bring the slippers along when he carried her to the bedroom.

Damn it, she hadn’t had enough of the embrace, and she missed out on the romantic princess carry too!

Bae Juhyun tiptoed to Liu Xin’an’s side, and after thinking for a few seconds, she still didn’t put on the slippers.

She was afraid the noise of the slippers on the floor would wake Liu Xin’an.

After finding her phone in a corner of the couch, Bae Juhyun quickly turned on the phone, reading the messages.

The group members had indeed sent her messages, though they were all teasing in nature.

The most outrageous was Kang Seulgi.

This unfortunate child actually told her to be careful and take safety measures?!

She had only confirmed her relationship with Liu Xin’an for one day! There wouldn’t be such fast progress!!

If she saw this outspoken child tomorrow at the company, she was definitely going to give her a lesson she’d never forget!
