Bae Zhuhyun always has a strange desire to win and lose in some strange places.
Just like now.
When Li Chenglu couldn't stand the neighbor's urging for marriage and went out to find the two of them, each of them was holding a pack of Starscream in his hands and several cans in front of him.
"What if mine is taller than yours this time?"
Liu Xin'an frowned, squatting on the ground and looking at his Coke can, thinking for a long time, and then looked up at Pei Zhuxuan.
"I won't care about your drinking anymore."
"Okay! Can't go back on my word."
"If I don't regret it, what if I win?"
"I don't care if you drink even if you win."
Liu Xin'an nodded subconsciously, but then suddenly realized something was wrong.
It seems that Bae Zhuhyun doesn't need to take care of her drinking. He is different from this "one bottle" girl.
But it was too late to change now. Pei Zhuxuan lit the firecracker neatly, then put the can on the firecracker, held her ears with both hands and ran to the side to wait excitedly.
A few seconds later.
Following a muffled "bang" sound, the battered can bounced up high like a rocket taking off.
After drawing a wonderful arc in the air, it fell to the ground.
The height this time made Pei Zhuhyun very excited. She looked at Liu Xin'an with urging eyes, signaling him to stop cheating and start quickly.
But Liu Xin'an actually regretted it when he saw this height, but it was a bit embarrassing to regret directly, so he decided to change the topic.
At this moment, Li Chenglu, who was sneaking over with his pockets inserted, made his eyes light up.
Under Pei Zhuxuan's shocked gaze, Liu Xin'an raised his foot and crushed his can, then he raised his foot in embarrassment as if he realized that he had done something wrong.
"Ah! I'm sorry, Zhuxun. It's all my fault that Li Cheng came over and I didn't pay attention!"
Pei Zhuxuan laughed angrily at Liu Xin'an's rogue remarks. She put the box of red spiders that brought her honor into her pocket, rolled up her sleeves and walked towards Liu Xin'an.
This startled Liu Xin'an, who quickly ran behind Li Chenglu and tried to use Li Chenglu as his shield.
"Yeah! Come out!"
The usually sweet voice returned to his original voice. Pei Zhuxuan suppressed his anger and scolded the shameless guy behind Li Chenglu.
"I really didn't mean it. It's all Li Chenglu's fault. If she hadn't come, I wouldn't have accidentally guessed the can."
"Stop coming! What does it have to do with Cheng Lu? You obviously knew you couldn't win, so you deliberately cheated!"
"it is true!"
"lie!"
Li Chenglu didn't want to speak because she was already numb.
In the end, this little farce ended with Liu Xinan being punched several times by Bae Zhuhyun.
The cotton-padded clothes were very thick, and Pei Zhuxuan's few punches actually didn't even break his defense...
If you say it's scraping, you might be praising the other person.
Bae Zhuhyun has a desire to win in some strange ways, and as a fan, Li Chenglu knows this very well.
But she didn't expect that her little Liu Xin'an would also be infected by Pei Zhuhyun.
And... they actually started competing in such a childish place.
She suppressed her inner urge to complain, looked at the two people fighting around her, and sighed.
This is a Chinese New Year. I haven’t eaten the dumplings yet, so I’ve eaten a lot of dog food first, right?
"Why do you think of playing this again?"
She looked at the firecracker papers around her and asked doubtfully.
"Zoohyun was very curious about firecrackers, so she played with them. Do you want to play with them?"
How could Liu Xin'an point out in front of Li Chenglu that his girlfriend was afraid of firecrackers? He definitely wanted to protect his girlfriend's face.
"No, go back, it's freezing outside."
Li Chenglu didn't like winter and she wasn't resistant to freezing. This time she came out not only to avoid the neighbors' talk about urging them to get married, but also to ask the two of them to go back for dinner.
The sound of firecrackers exploding from time to time no longer frightened Pei Zhuxuan. She gently dusted off the smell of gunpowder on her hands, showed a disgusted expression, and secretly came to Liu Xin'an with her little hands... Forget it, Liu Xin'an was also wearing a white cotton coat.
This is still a couple's model for her, so you should let the other person go.
She is so kind.
"had lunch?"
"Well, I'm so annoyed by the pressure at home to get married. If only my mother wasn't as anxious as my godmother. It gives me a headache."
Li Chenglu was annoyed when he mentioned this matter. Her family was far less free than Liu Xin'an's family in this regard.
Uh... To be precise, her mother was too anxious.
Li Changhe, a daughter slave, naturally wishes that Li Chenglu would never get married. He is willing to raise his own daughter for the rest of his life. Why should he give up such an outstanding daughter to another man? It makes no sense!
But Wu Xiu didn't think so.
Wu Xiu herself feels that she has successfully married into love, and has a very good husband, a well-behaved and excellent daughter, and even caring and close neighbors, and a handsome and cheerful godson.
A person who is too happy naturally wants to teach his happiness experience to others.
What's more, the person she wants to teach is her own daughter.
Therefore, Wu Xiucai always urged Li Chenglu to get married early every day, as if she had already acquiesced that Li Chenglu would also marry for love in the future.
But who has the final say in this kind of thing?
"Is uncle urging you to get married?" Pei Zhuxuan blinked and looked at Li Chenglu curiously.
She also knows what women of this age should do. She is an artist as an exception, but... Li Chenglu, who is almost 28 years old this year, is indeed the age to get married.
But she remembered that this man said that he was unmarried. Could it be... that he was unmarried without the consent of his family?
"My dad is okay, mainly my mom."
"Eh~"
Pei Zhuxuan looked surprised. Her impression of Li Chenglu's mother had always been that of a gentle and gentle woman. She never thought that the woman would make Li Chenglu show such a headache expression.
"Anyway, Liu Xin'an, you are relieved this year, and all the pressure is on me."
Li Chenglu glanced at Liu Xin'an enviously, ah, didn't she envy Liu Xin'an for having a girlfriend...
But thinking about it carefully, she seems to be envious of Liu Xin'an for having an artist girlfriend like Bae Zhu Hyun.
Ahem, that’s too far off topic.
She is actually more envious of Liu Xin'an's ability to have a quiet year this year.
In previous years, if she was pushed, she would be pushed. After all, she was not the only one being pushed, so she could accept it.
Isn't there a saying that happiness is often based on Liu Xin'an's pain.
Liu Xin'an was forced to get married, but she was happy.
She was forced to get married, and Liu Xin'an was happy.
Come and go, don't they complement each other!
However, her words made Pei Zhuxuan a little embarrassed. This beautiful woman who just now looked disgusted because of the smell of gunpowder on her hands looked up nervously at Liu Xin'an, and the latter noticed the uneasiness in her eyes.
Liu Xin'an smiled and reached out to help his girlfriend gently lift her bangs.
"Don't worry, my parents understand your work and won't push us to get married early."
"Yes, you two have to fully enjoy your love before you consider entering the grave of marriage!"
"...You sound like you have a lot of experience?" Liu Xin'an turned his head and looked at Li Chenglu speechlessly, who was pretending to understand.
The latter put his hands on his hips and looked arrogant: "I read it in a book!"
———
Just as Li Chenglu said.
Lunch has been prepared.
However, the lunch was definitely not as shocking as the New Year's Eve dinner, but for Bae Zhuhyun, who still knew nothing about the so-called "New Year's Eve dinner", the table full of dishes made her mouth shut.
The last time she went to Shanghai with the two of them, she was deeply impressed by Chinese cuisine.
But to be honest, she has never eaten a serious Chinese home-cooked meal.
Even if it was yesterday's dumplings, she didn't feel much after eating them.
But this time the large table of dishes was different.
Braised pork, roasted fish, and a bunch of vegetarian and meat dishes that she couldn't even recognize. She even saw a... can?
slkslk.
Is this considered a type of lunch?
She also had a sumptuous lunch at home, but what she called sumptuous was actually more of a variety of kimchi.
Setting up a table of meat like this...
Bae Zhuhyun took out her mobile phone, took a photo of the delicious food on the table in front of her, and then irresponsibly uploaded it to her group's group chat.
Immediately afterwards, she quickly turned off her phone.
As for the reaction of Seulgi and others in China, she didn't want to worry about it for the time being.
"We also have kimchi at home, Liu Xin'an, go and get some kimchi."
"oh."
Liu Xin'an had just finished washing his hands when he heard his mother's voice. He turned and walked into the kitchen and took out a lunch box of kimchi from the refrigerator.
Naturally, I don’t resist kimchi because my mother makes it occasionally.
In terms of taste...it's actually not much different from what Bae Zhuhyun's mother makes.
When kimchi was served, Pei Zhuxuan finally understood why so many Chinese people were so dismissive of their country's delicacies.
It’s really shabby!
Is home-cooked food delicious?
It was so delicious that Bae Zhuhyun didn't know how to praise it.
But after eating, the feeling of regret lingered in her heart. She felt that she might have eaten too much, and she was worried that she would gain weight.
It seems that every time I come to China, I have this kind of worry. Could it be that...the problem is not actually with me, but with the Chinese food?
Too dangerous! Too dangerous!
With this thought, Pei Zhuhyun sat beside Liu Xin'an's bed and tilted her head to look at the cat sleeping soundly on Liu Xin'an's bed.
She actually saw this cat yesterday, but the cat didn't seem to like strangers very much. After seeing her, he ran away in a panic. She didn't really see her again until now.
Pei Zhuhyun actually doesn't know much about small animals. She has never raised a dog or a cat.
It's not that she doesn't want to, it's just that she is too busy with her work and she doesn't think she is a master who can take good care of small animals.
If you raise them rashly, you would be irresponsible to the little ones.
Plus...
She is afraid of such furry animals.
Pei Zhuxuan silently distanced herself from this little guy with dark blue fur and cute sleeping appearance, and her eyes gradually fell on the big bookcase that made her curious since last night.
The photo album that had haunted her since three days ago was still sitting there quietly.
Pei Zhuxuan glanced at the bedroom door, which was closed tightly at this time.
Mainly because there were guests at home, and in order not to expose her identity, she had to go upstairs to avoid them.
Of course, she definitely didn't bring this up herself, but Park Jung-sook asked her to come up.
She didn't dare not agree to Liu Xin'an's mother's request, so she had no choice but to nod obediently and went upstairs by herself with full gratitude.
Liu Xin'an and Li Chenglu were sitting downstairs chatting with their neighbors.
Very good, Liu Xin'an shouldn't come up in a short time.
She took a look at it secretly, and then put it back intact, which would satisfy her curiosity without making Liu Xin'an angry.
This idea grew stronger in her mind. Pei Zhuxuan swallowed her saliva and started walking towards the bookcase.
After a few seconds, she stood still in front of the bookcase.
She didn't think this bookcase was so exaggerated during the video call before, but now that she saw it in person, she was shocked by it.
There are piles of books piled up on the huge bookcase, and many of the books look tattered, and it seems that they have been taken out and read frequently.
However, because most of them were in Chinese, Pei Zhuhyun could not understand them. In addition, she had a headache from reading books, so Pei Zhuhyun suppressed the shock in her heart and stretched out her little hand to touch the photo album.
And the moment she was about to touch the photo album, a "take a look~" sound made her heart beat faster and she jumped away quickly.
Pei Zhuxuan turned around in horror, and then saw that the cat named "Yuanxiao" had woken up at some point, and was licking its fur with one leg crossed. After noticing her gaze, Yuanxiao's licking action
After a pause, a pair of yellow catboys looked at her.
But just a few seconds later, Yuanxiao ignored her gaze and continued to lick her fur.
Pei Zhuxuan also breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest fearfully.
She was so scared that she thought it was Liu Xin'an who had come in.
Liu Xin'an told her very seriously that he didn't want her to see this photo album.
So if possible, she wanted to watch it secretly without telling Liu Xin'an.
Pei Zhuxuan swallowed her saliva. This feeling of being sneaky and doing bad things made her heart beat faster. She reached out towards the photo album again.
This time she touched the photo album.
Just as her expression was filled with joy, there was a "click" and someone opened the bedroom door from the outside.
Pei Zhuxuan hurriedly stuffed the photo album back in a panic, but anyone who has ever experienced it should know that it is easy to take it out, but it is not easy to stuff it back again.
In a hurry, instead of stuffing the book back, she lost her grip and dropped it on the ground.
With a clatter, the photo album opened, and one of the photos came into view. However, at this time, Pei Zhuhyun had already lost all those thoughts. She turned around, lowered her head, and said stammeringly: "Yes... yes.
..”
"What are you doing, sister Eileen?"
Pei Zhuxuan was stunned by Li Chenglu's voice. She looked up at Li Chenglu in front of her in astonishment, her pretty face filled with joy of surviving the disaster.
"Ah! It turns out to be Cheng Lu!"
Because she was so lucky, Pei Zhuxuan hugged Li Chenglu excitedly.
Li Chenglu, who was inexplicably hugged by Pei Zhuxuan, was tense.
You know, this is the first time she has had such close contact with Bae Zhuhyun...
