Pei Zhuxuan sniffed and walked around Liu Xin'an to the familiar entrance without daring to raise her head.
However, after seeing that the pair of pink slippers she usually wore were not displayed at the entrance as usual, the girl almost shed tears again.
After all, she is in an extremely guilty and sensitive state now. If Liu Xin'an treats her even slightly worse, she may burst into tears on the spot.
She sniffed, raised her head, and tried to smile, but her red eyes still revealed her uneasy mood.
"Without my slippers..."
Although he was stating a fact, Liu Xin'an felt Bae Zhuhyun's aggrieved mood from the other party's expression and tone.
Without thinking much, Liu Xin'an opened the shoe cabinet, took out the pair of slippers that Pei Zhuhyun usually wore, and placed them in front of her.
The usual attentiveness and care made Pei Zhuxuan secretly pinch her thigh.
Absolutely! Never cry!
The feeling of pain made her inner sourness dissipate a lot. She held the shoe cabinet on the side with one hand, took off her shoes, stepped on the familiar slippers, and then raised her eyes to look at Liu Xin'an again.
To be honest, Liu Xin'an is still confused until now, mainly because he doesn't quite understand what Pei Zhuhyun's expression means.
He blinked, trying to get on the same frequency as Pei Zhuhyun in front of him, and then he suddenly remembered something: "Did that guy who is crazy about you come to your house?!"
How could he know that this person was crying because of guilt, and thought he was crying because he was too scared?
And the thing that scares Pei Zhuhyun is probably the man she has been hiding from, right?
But it's okay if Liu Xin'an didn't mention it. When he mentioned that man who didn't exist at all, Pei Zhuhyun not only felt guilty.
She quickly raised her hand and grabbed Liu Xin'an's sleeve with a guilty conscience, fearing that this man would go out immediately.
"No, it's not!"
"It's okay, call the police."
"No, no, no, no, he's not coming!"
Bae Zhu Hyun actually thought about whether to have a direct showdown with Liu Xin'an.
But thinking of Liu Xin'an's distant tone just now, her courage, which was not too great at first, became even weaker.
Well... let's wait a little longer.
"and you..."
Pei Zhuxuan shook her head, then slowly released her hand holding Liu Xin'an's sleeve, and said cautiously in a voice that was almost a whisper: "I just think that my sudden disappearance for the past two days is a bit too much... Obviously you have always been
Taking care of me."
After expressing her inner uneasiness, Bae Zhuhyun felt a lot more relaxed.
But she still didn't dare to look up at him.
Mainly because she was really afraid of seeing some expression on Liu Xin'an's face that she didn't want to see.
"Well..."
It is true that Liu Xin'an was very critical of this matter, but looking at Pei Zhuxuan's current appearance, it was not difficult for him to guess that this person most likely had some difficulties.
Since he was approached like this, he was happy to give the other party a chance to explain.
But before that.
"Ah, you come in first. I'm still running a live broadcast over there. You sit on the sofa for a while and I'll come over after I say something."
Liu Xin'an scratched his face in embarrassment, then pointed to the sofa in the living room, then to his live broadcast room, and said quickly.
Bae Zhuhyun shook her head violently, and at the same time did not forget to wave her hands too.
"No, no, no, you work first...I don't want to disturb you."
"It's okay, it's okay, just give me some time."
After Liu Xin'an said this, he quickly walked back to his live broadcast room, picked up his earphones and briefly talked about his situation into the microphone, and then turned off the live broadcast.
The duration of the live broadcast can be made up later, but looking at Bae Joo Hyun's appearance...
Maybe Bae Zhuhyun doesn't have many friends, or maybe she was hurt by a friend before, so she cherishes every friend like she does now?
Liu Xin'an, who didn't even think about whether the other party liked him or not, happily walked out of the room, while Pei Zhuxuan in the living room had already sat down on the sofa.
However, what was different from the casual way of sitting down and crossing his legs before was that Pei Zhuxuan was sitting in a very well-behaved and dignified posture. To be honest, Liu Xin'an looked a little awkward.
He did not go directly to the sofa and sit down. Instead, he walked to the refrigerator door and took out two bottles of water. After unscrewing the cap of one of the bottles in front of Bae Zhuhyun, he handed the water to him.
"Calm down your emotions first. Everyone is busy sometimes. I'll be fine."
Although there are some elements of lying, Liu Xin'an is indeed so generous.
The impression Bae Zhuhyun left on him was actually very good, otherwise he wouldn't have cared about the other person for a period of time after the other person left inexplicably.
It wasn't until the other party didn't respond for a whole day that he thought about the possibility that the other party didn't want to pay attention to him anymore.
But his comfort did not make Pei Zhuxuan relax. The girl raised her eyes and glanced at him. She didn't know whether she was aggrieved or afraid: "Obviously my tone was so cold just now..."
"Ahem, okay, I admit, I'm a little bit dissatisfied. After all, it's too weird."
"sorry..."
"Stop apologizing. Stop apologizing. So, what happened? Are you okay?"
The concern in her words made Pei Zhuhyun feel warm in her heart, but...she still couldn't tell the truth.
Although Jiang Seulqi enlightened her when she was in the dormitory, she thought a lot.
But when she actually came in front of Liu Xin'an, the person she was attracted to, her courage was really not enough.
Directly express her feelings? No, no, no, she couldn't even be sure whether the other party had the same affection for her. When she thought of the possibility of being rejected, she even felt that she would have trouble breathing.
So confessing something! It’s impossible now!
"A friend who is very close to me suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized. I have been taking care of her for the past two days. I wanted to tell you when I came out of your house that day, but you were still live broadcasting at that time...
.I didn’t dare to disturb.”
Pei Zhuxuan was heartbroken and ignored it. Let's clear up the misunderstanding first.
As for whether Liu Xin'an will find out that he is lying in the future...
Wait until then!
"When I wanted to send you a message later, I couldn't hold my phone and broke it, so I haven't been able to tell you..."
Liu Xin'an was stunned for a moment when he heard this reasonable explanation. After sorting it out in his mind, he showed a surprised expression.
"So this is ah."
Liu Xin'an believed her without any hesitation, which made Pei Zhuxuan feel even worse in her heart.
She silently apologized in her heart, but replied: "Well..."
"Is your friend okay?"
"It's okay. She is fine. The operation is over and she is recovering now."
Since they are non-existent friends anyway, Bae Joo-hyun just talks nonsense.
"That's good. Damn, there's nothing we can do about it. I thought it was my suggestion that scared you away at first."
Liu Xin'an said cheerfully, while Pei Zhuxuan was stunned.
"What proposal?"
"Just pretend that I have a girlfriend here, and fool the audience to get some fans."
Liu Xin'an spread his hands.
Pei Zhuxuan was stunned. Fortunately, she quickly remembered what Liu Xin'an said before.
Pretending to be a girlfriend...
"I can!"
She gave a completely different answer than before.
Liu Xin'an felt a little strange about Pei Zhuxuan's sudden change of answer, but he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Ah, no need now, I have already confused that matter."
It refers to the fact that Bae Zhuhyun made a noise during his live broadcast.
This answer shocked Pei Zhuxuan. She tried hard not to show the intense thoughts on her face, and asked pretending to be curious: "Have you... asked anyone for help?"
"How is it possible? It's just a small bug during the live broadcast."
After hearing that Liu Xin'an did not find anyone else, Pei Zhuxuan also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you still angry?"
"What do I have to be angry about? I'm more open-minded about this aspect. To be honest, I really thought that I offended you in some way and made you very dissatisfied, and then I just left." Jiang Siyi spread his hands and said a little bit.
Self-deprecating self-deprecation.
But this kind of thing is obviously impossible. Liu Xin'an shouldn't have such thoughts. He is obviously a gentle and good man.
"No, no, it's my problem. Don't think so wildly." Pei Zhuxuan was afraid that Liu Xin'an would have such thoughts, so she hurriedly took the problem on herself again.
Her caution made him dumbfounded.
"Okay, once you explain it, everything will be fine. You don't have to be so nervous and careful."
"Um..."
It could be seen that Pei Zhuxuan still couldn't let go, Liu Xin'an rolled his eyes.
"Just in time, to celebrate that my only friend here has returned safely, how about I treat you to dinner today?"
Changing the topic is a good way to divert the other person's attention.
Moreover, to be honest, most of Liu Xin'an's impressions of Bae Zhuhyun are about eating and drinking.
And being drunk...
Pei Zhuxuan nodded fiercely, of course she was willing. Without Liu Xin'an eating and chatting with her these days, she felt like she had no appetite.
Most of the sisters in the dormitory are very busy, and they have very little leisure time like her, so even in the dormitory, she spends very little time with her sisters.
The feeling of loneliness is very painful. How can that feeling be compared to sharing delicious food with people close to you?
Especially the one you like!
Pei Zhuxuan secretly glanced at Liu Xin'an, who was rummaging through a takeaway shop with his mobile phone. His handsome face and serious expression made her blush.
Ever since she realized her inner affection for Liu Xin'an, she seemed to be increasingly afraid to look him in the eyes.
Because just by looking at him, her heartbeat would speed up and her cheeks would heat up uncontrollably.
Bae Zhuhyun, who was afraid that she would make a fool of herself, quickly took a sip of ice water, but maybe it was because she drank a little hastily...
"Cough cough cough."
Liu Xin'an, who was looking for takeaway, heard Pei Zhuxuan coughing, and at the same time saw the other person covering his mouth in embarrassment. He didn't think much about it. He smiled and came to Pei Zhuxuan's side, raised his hand and patted Pei Zhuxuan's back gently to help.
Bae Joo Hyun is happy.
"Drink slowly, isn't it too cold?"
The gentle patting made Pei Zhuxuan close her legs. She shook her head and suppressed her inner excitement.
"I just choked."
She was so nervous just now, but now she was secretly happy because of an ordinary physical contact with Liu Xin'an...
