As expected, this person guessed it, though... they guessed five times.

"Correct."

"Oh!! If this wasn’t the answer, I really wouldn’t know what it is... But why was it virtual bravado? Have I ever been full of bravado?"

Virtual bravado is a short form for bluffing.

It usually means looking very impressive but actually being quite weak.

Do I look very impressive?

In terms of appearance and first impression... indeed, I do look impressive.

But beyond that...

A somewhat puzzled Bae Juhyun couldn’t help but look at her boyfriend.

And the depth of his eyes made her reminisce about the time when she had just gotten together with Liu Xin’an...

Virtual bravado...

"!!!" Bae Juhyun suddenly looked like she’d remembered something, covering her mouth with a look of panic.

She remembered...

It was before she had fully made intimate contact with Liu Xin’an, when just kissing would make her blush.

She was indeed full of bravado, or rather... a paper tiger.

Despite being terribly shy, she forced herself to flirt with the equally shy Liu Xin’an.

Yet she was always ultimately countered by Liu Xin’an, ending up red-faced and taken advantage of.

So it was from that time...

"Hey!!"

Afraid her boyfriend might reveal the situation back then, Bae Juhyun shouted angrily, rushed to the stage, and covered Liu Xin’an’s mouth, under the surprised looks of the MCs.

"What’s going on, what’s going on?"

"If you dare to speak, you’re dead!"

Being muted, Liu Xin’an couldn’t reply, but he still looked at Bae Juhyun with innocent eyes.

"It seems like there’s a very interesting secret, can’t you tell us?"

"No, definitely not!"

"If Xin’an doesn’t say, the audience will only wonder more."

Kim Heechul sat back casually and spoke.

His teasing words made Bae Juhyun’s face turn red to her ears, but she still shook her head.

"Regarding bravado... When does Irene usually show bravado?"

Covered-mouthed Liu Xin’an pointed at the little hand over his mouth and then spread his hands innocently.

"It’s not anything strange, it’s just... I don’t want him to say it."

Bae Juhyun’s cheeks flushed even more fiercely.

If it were unnoticeable, that would be fine, but this guy... this guy...

He actually gently licked her palm!!

The sensation felt like an electric shock, making Bae Juhyun subconsciously want to withdraw her hand. But thinking if she pulled it away, Liu Xin’an would be seen sticking out his tongue, she became even more flustered.

No choice, she turned her head and glared fiercely at Liu Xin’an.

This glare made the crowd even more interested.

"Don’t threaten Xin’an, Irene, look how scared you’ve made our Xin’an."

"I really am..."

Bae Juhyun was speechless for a moment, really wanting to drop everything and face disgrace with her boyfriend.

Fortunately, she calmed down.

At the same time, Liu Xin’an stopped teasing and gently removed Bae Juhyun’s hand from his mouth.

"It’s really nothing strange, it’s just that she cares about face, so she doesn’t want me to say it."

"Oh, it doesn’t matter, it’s not like we’re going to laugh, about bravado... How is bravado usually shown? Is it the type we understand?"

Bae Juhyun didn’t say anything, just stood on the side, looking distressed.

She was giving up.

"Can I say it?"

"Whatever."

Liu Xin’an showed a slight bitter smile, oh no, it seemed he teased his girlfriend too much.

The person is probably genuinely a bit angry.

"Uh..."

Sensing a tense atmosphere, Lee Soogeun smoothly stepped in to save the situation, which was his specialty on this show.

"Irene who was just so enthusiastic and the current Irene, might count as reversal bravado, doesn’t it make Xin’an’s heart race now?"

"Of course, my heart almost jumped out." Liu Xin’an clutched his chest, pretending to be weak, with a breathless tone, as if his heart was really about to jump out.

When Bae Juhyun couldn’t help but look at him, Liu Xin’an gave a gentle smile and made a heart shape with his hand at his chest, sending it to his girlfriend.

Seeing Liu Xin’an act funny like this, Bae Juhyun, who was initially a bit angry, also smiled.

Her smile eased Liu Xin’an a bit.

Of course, Bae Juhyun wouldn’t argue with Liu Xin’an during the show filming.

But whether she’ll settle scores after the shoot... that’s uncertain.

"Then this should count as Irene winning, right? She answered two questions, while Xin’an only answered one."

"That’s right, today’s competition counts as Irene’s win, applause!"

Bae Juhyun cooperatively raised her little hand and cheered "Woo~" with others, then crossed her arms and tilted her chin slightly, proudly looking at Liu Xin’an beside her.

Liu Xin’an equally cooperated by looking at the camera and said apologetically: "Sorry, Sooyoung and Yerin, I’ve let you down."

"It’s betting on the order of washing up next time, does it mean Joy and Yerin will have to wait until late to wash up?"

Bae Juhyun waved her hand, although it’s indeed the case, she couldn’t answer that openly.

"No, it was only about the choice rights, but at the time it’s still who’s tired goes to wash up first."

"Truly a captain."

"Hehe." Praise, Bae Juhyun accepted naturally.

"With Xin’an and Irene’s solo duel, Irene won, so what does Irene want Xin’an to do? The bet was that the loser promises the winner one thing, right?"

"Yes." Bae Juhyun nodded, then turned her head, looking at her boyfriend from low to high.

Bae Juhyun’s gaze made Liu Xin’an stiffen.

He had a foreboding feeling.

The variety show segment is about to wrap up~ There’s a game section later, but honestly, there’s not much to write about the games, the writing won’t be too long, so I end up scribbling this much...

It can serve as practice for writing variety show snippets in the future~
