Hastily leaving the live broadcast room, he quickly walked to the bedroom and immediately saw the panicked Bae Juhyun getting up from the bed and heading toward the door.
"It’s three o’clock, it’s three o’clock, we’re doomed!!"
Bae Juhyun didn’t even put on her shoes and didn’t shy away from Liu Xin’an in front of her. She reached out and pulled aside the strap of her slip dress, ready to change clothes.
After all, there were her spare clothes in Liu Xin’an’s bedroom closet... Changing quickly to rush to the company was the most important thing right now.
Liu Xin’an was stunned by his girlfriend’s frantic appearance, but he quickly snapped out of it and hurriedly grabbed Bae Juhyun’s slender wrist.
"Manager Kim gave you all the day off. Rest today, no need to rush." ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ noᴠelfire.net
This sentence caused Bae Juhyun, who was in a state of tension, to momentarily go blank. She looked blankly at the somewhat awkward Liu Xin’an, then belatedly blinked her eyes.
Liu Xin’an was amused by her cute expression. He reached out to help her put back the slip dress that she had almost wholly pulled off. Once her fair skin was covered again, Liu Xin’an carried the dazed Bae Juhyun in a princess hold and gently placed her back on the bed.
"Manager Kim gave you all a day off, so you don’t have to think about any work today. Just rest well."
Bae Juhyun finally understood and let out a long sigh of relief. Her body, which had been trembling from anxiety, also relaxed.
She gazed at her boyfriend with her big eyes wide open.
"I know I shouldn’t interfere with your work, and I shouldn’t bypass your thoughts and talk to Manager Kim directly..."
"Let go of me first! I need to use the restroom!"
She couldn’t hold it anymore!!
After adequately addressing her physiological needs, Bae Juhyun finally returned to her usual "graceful" and "icy beauty" state.
As if the person who was about to burst, and almost performed a strip show in front of Liu Xin’an, wasn’t her...
"What exactly is going on?"
Sitting in front of Bae Juhyun, Liu Xin’an answered honestly, "I saw you were too tired, so I took it upon myself to call Taekyon and express to Manager Kim my wish for you all to have a day off."
"...And? Did the wish come true?" Bae Juhyun’s expressionless little face made it hard for Liu Xin’an to discern her current mood.
After some thought, Liu Xin’an decided to cover his bases first.
"Yes... But I did thoroughly ask Taekyon about today’s schedule’s importance. Only after knowing it was just some minor interviews did I trouble Taekyon to inform Manager Kim."
He quickly explained and then flashed a bright smile, "I made tomato braised beef stew and bought your favorite stir-fried rice cakes. Do you want to eat now? I’ll get it for you!!"
After saying this, Liu Xin’an got up by himself, planning to slip away.
But just as he reached the door, a "Stop" made him halt his steps.
A stunned Liu Xin’an stiffly turned around, only to see Bae Juhyun, who had been sitting by the bed, slowly get up. Her white, bare feet gently touched the floor, and since she wasn’t wearing shoes, there were no footstep sounds.
Under his gaze, this petite woman stepped closer to him, then slightly raised her head and beckoned him down with her hand.
Liu Xin’an, not understanding, leaned his head down slightly, only to feel a soft sensation on his cheek.
Before he could enjoy it, the soft sensation turned into a slight pain.
Standing on tiptoe, Bae Juhyun lightly bit Liu Xin’an’s cheek and then pouted, looking at him somewhat reproachfully.
"Honestly, I know you’re worried about me, but you can’t do this next time. Got it?"
Every time Bae Juhyun said "Got it?" her tone would rise slightly at the end, as if coaxing a child.
Seeing that Bae Juhyun wasn’t angry, Liu Xin’an also breathed a big sigh of relief. His familiar gentle smile reappeared on his face, and the switch from before to now intrigued Bae Juhyun.
This seemed to be the first time in their long relationship that she had seen Liu Xin’an looking guilty.
"Oh! So you can feel guilty too."
"...What kind of talk is that? I’m human too, of course I can feel guilty."
"I always thought you were confident and assured. Turns out our Xin’an is just an ordinary person too~"
For some reason, probably because she had been playing the role of older sister and leader recently, Bae Juhyun instinctively took on a "senior" posture when facing her boyfriend.
"Uh... Why are you acting weird?"
"Weird?" Bae Juhyun raised an eyebrow in confusion. She thought about her situation and then showed a playful smile, "Does Xin’an dis version of me?"
Liu Xin’an pursed his lips and turned away.
"I’m going to prepare your food. My live broadcast is still running over there. You should wash up too."
Bae Juhyun knew she didn’t have any tone! Liu Xin’an turning away was definitely because he was shy.
A shy Liu Xin’an was a rare sight. Bae Juhyun continued to approach him, pushing him to the wall, and then executed a very handsome "kabedon" on her boyfriend.
Well... The only somewhat awkward part was that she was much shorter than Liu Xin’an, so it looked more like she was asking for a hug rather than a wall pin...
Still, despite her small size, her aura was strong.
