Chapter 70: 70. More Terrifying Than Zombies: ’Pei Jing Scare

Liu Xin’an didn’t realize that his dominance had cost him the reward he should have received tonight.

The light kiss on the left cheek was gone! All because this fellow never believed in her drinking capacity.

She was actually one of the better drinkers among female idols.

What a disgrace! A disgrace!

Though Bae Juhyun, with her stern face, was still astonishingly beautiful, such odd beauty made Liu Xin’an somewhat restless.

"Ha... seriously, let’s open another bottle, we’ll share it. This is my bottom line. You finally have a day off tomorrow, why drink so much?"

In the end, Liu Xin’an decided to concede.

Drink then, it’s no big deal, he could take care of her. It wasn’t as if he had never done it before.

Only then did Bae Juhyun reveal a smile.

Similarly, this time Bae Juhyun’s drinking capacity didn’t betray her.

Grilled meat and soju were indeed the best pairing in the world, and after they were satisfied, they tidied up everything on the dining table, putting all the dishes that needed washing into the sink.

This time it wasn’t like yesterday, smelling heavily of barbecue, because today it was just the two of them, unlike the four people yesterday who not only ate more but took longer.

Yesterday they watched "Introduction to Architecture," and today, after considering, Bae Juhyun decided to pick a movie without any beauties.

Thus, she chose "Train to Busan."

It’s not that there were no beauties, but the beauties in this film were not as glamorous and exquisite as those in a romance movie.

Who cares about poise in a post-apocalyptic survival scenario!

She was very satisfied with her movie pick, and she had always heard great things about this film, but never had the chance to sit down and watch it through.

But... Bae Juhyun seemed to have forgotten the other nickname her fans had given her.

To set the mood, Bae Juhyun recklessly turned off the living room lights, then used Liu Xin’an next to her as a large-sized pillow, hugging his arm as the movie night officially began.

The beginning of the plot was okay, but as the film gradually moved to the main characters’ escape journey, Liu Xin’an was undergoing an ordeal harsher than that of the main group.

"Ah!!!"

The scream made Liu Xin’an gasp in shock, as Bae Juhyun’s arms, which had been hugging him, were now released.

And what replaced the arms around him was his waist.

Though "Train to Busan" as a zombie film isn’t really that scary,

the pace of the movie and its suspenseful thrills made Bae Juhyun quite tense.

She was so immersed that she didn’t even realize she was almost clinging onto Liu Xin’an.

For Liu Xin’an, the softness of the girl pressing against him mixed with the distressing screams brought a deeply mixed sensation of pain and pleasure.

The movie, lasting over an hour, finally ended.

Gasping for air like she was just fished out of water, Bae Juhyun clutched the hem of Liu Xin’an’s shirt.

The ending was more of an open-ended conclusion, but that wasn’t important anymore.

"Oh! This movie was interesting. I had heard about it but never got the chance to watch!"

Bae Juhyun changed her startled demeanor from earlier and smiled casually.

Now that her rationality had returned, she knew how embarrassing her reaction during the movie had been, so she wanted to quickly gloss over the incident.

It seemed she was a bit too unconcerned about her image...

Liu Xin’an stifled his smile.

For him, Bae Juhyun’s reactions weren’t embarrassing at all; in fact, from the perspective of her boyfriend, her startled actions were somewhat cute.

This naturally was also due to Bae Juhyun’s extremely high level of attractiveness, as a beautiful woman could do no wrong.

Since Bae Juhyun didn’t want to mention the embarrassing scene she had just gone through, Liu Xin’an certainly wouldn’t bring it up. He nodded and considerately brought the water cup beside him to her lips.

Seeing that Liu Xin’an wasn’t teasing her, Bae Juhyun breathed a sigh of relief, gulping down the water to soothe her somewhat smoky throat before settling comfortably next to him, arranging her long hair with a raised hand.

She was sweating!

———

Her rare day off allowed Bae Juhyun to comfortably sleep in.

After watching the movie at Liu Xin’an’s house yesterday and sweating profusely, Bae Juhyun didn’t want Liu Xin’an to see her disheveled state, so she went home early to freshen up.

After her bath, due to the frights during the movie, her energy was drained. So after telling Liu Xin’an, she went straight to bed.

Today she was off, so she could visit Liu Xin’an’s house anytime.

Comfortably lounging in bed until ten in the morning, Bae Juhyun reluctantly crawled out of bed.

She decided to find Liu Xin’an for lunch later, then spend the afternoon at his place playing on her phone and watching TV, and have dinner with him in the evening, maybe finding another movie to watch.

This time she definitely wouldn’t pick the horror thriller type; comedy was far more interesting!

Her identity doomed her to be unacquainted with going out on dates, so how to have a romantic and fun date at home was something she needed to think about.

Meanwhile, next door, Liu Xin’an had just returned home from the gym.

Because his streaming time was moved to the afternoon, evening was now for watching movies and dramas with Bae Juhyun, his sleeping schedule had normalized a lot.

His usual afternoon gym session had been moved to the morning.

Recently, the frequency of his workouts had decreased significantly since he was no longer living alone; having a girlfriend meant he needed to carve out time to spend with her.

He couldn’t reduce his work hours, so he had to cut down on his gym time instead.

"Clack~"

The sound of the door opening lifted him from the sofa. He had already showered at the gym, and he was wearing dry clothes, so there was no reason he couldn’t meet anyone just then.

And who else could be opening his door at this time?

"Oh? You’re back already?"

Bae Juhyun, holding a bag, showed a surprised expression upon seeing Liu Xin’an on the sofa.

As his girlfriend, she naturally knew Liu Xin’an went to the gym every morning.

Liu Xin’an reported everything he did on his phone to her, a point that greatly satisfied her; which girl wouldn’t like such a reassuring practice?

"Just walked in less than ten minutes ago... What did you bring?"

Bae Juhyun lifted the bag high, and through the white bag, Liu Xin’an could vaguely see there was something inside.

It seemed to be some ingredients.

Although her cooking skills couldn’t be said to be passable, she could still make some simple dishes.

The two of them couldn’t possibly eat takeout every day, so today, having the rare opportunity, Bae Juhyun wanted to make lunch for Liu Xin’an herself.

As for the menu...

"How about I make kimchi fried rice and pan-fried lunch meat?"

These were the dishes she was best at making.

Although she always talked about loving food and cooking on the show, that was more in line with her public persona.

For celebrities, being able to use a knife and control the heat was already considered knowing how to cook.

A real cook, like senior Victoria... it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call them rare.

Liu Xin’an wouldn’t reject the chance to have someone cook for him.

And the cook was his own girlfriend.

"Oh! I’m in for a treat this noon."

The words of praise made Bae Juhyun somewhat embarrassed, she hummed, "Don’t get your hopes up too high; I won’t be responsible if it’s not tasty."

With that, she walked into Liu Xin’an’s kitchen.

Despite Liu Xin’an not using it much, the kitchen was well-stocked.

Actually, Liu Xin’an could cook. As a fitness enthusiast, he sometimes prepared muscle-building meals after intensive workouts.

Otherwise, exercising without proper nourishment would be too taxing on his body.

They had ready-to-eat microwaveable rice bags available here.

He generally chose this type of rice for making fried rice.

Liu Xin’an could hear the busy sounds of Bae Juhyun in the kitchen from the living room. To avoid putting pressure on her, he didn’t get up to watch her cook but patiently waited on the sofa instead.

Kimchi fried rice and pan-fried lunch meat weren’t difficult, requiring few ingredients and not much time.

Half an hour after Bae Juhyun went into the kitchen, Liu Xin’an received a summons from his girlfriend.

"Ready to eat!"

Liu Xin’an, who had been browsing on his phone, got up, tossed the phone casually onto the table, washed his hands in the bathroom, and hurried to the kitchen’s dining table.

The kimchi fried rice made by Bae Juhyun looked pretty appealing, while the pan-fried lunch meat... well, even if Liu Xin’an wanted to praise Bae Juhyun, he couldn’t find any aspect to praise.

Under Bae Juhyun’s expectant gaze, Liu Xin’an picked up a chopstick full of kimchi fried rice and put it into his mouth.

After thoroughly chewing, he widened his eyes slightly in surprise.

How should he put it? The taste exceeded his low expectations and genuinely surprised him; indeed, he hadn’t expected much from Bae Juhyun’s cooking skills...

"It tastes much better than the takeout I ordered last time!"

Liu Xin’an wasn’t lying, genuinely praising from his heart.

And this compliment finally allowed an anxious Bae Juhyun to relax, a proud smile lifted her face, and she quickly sat beside Liu Xin’an, enjoying the lunch she had carefully prepared together with him.
