Chapter 971: Chapter 449: Son Seungwan! Bae Juhyun’s New Patron Deity! (Thanks to the Alliance Hierarch Wutong Maple! 4/4)

The sound of "slap" was quite jarring in the quiet car.

Bae Juhyun’s heart tightened, she hadn’t expected that her subconscious action would be so loud, the "slap" seemed to hit her heart directly. She quickly turned to look at Liu Xin’an, who was slightly stunned.

Liu Xin’an was indeed taken aback, it wasn’t painful, but it was indeed loud. However, upon noticing Bae Juhyun’s anxious gaze, he didn’t show the displeasure she feared; instead, he merely put on an innocent and pitiful expression.

Somehow, seeing her boyfriend so gently tending to her, a wave of overwhelming sadness and grievance crashed over Bae Juhyun, toppling her rationality. She couldn’t control her tears anymore, turned her head in panic, covered her mouth with her hand, with her small body trembling.

What’s wrong with her...

She kept hurting two people who were so gentle towards her.

Her closest friend, the man who cherished her the most...

"I... I seem to be a bit strange today..."

She said while holding back her sobs, her voice trembling.

Liu Xin’an raised his hand, softly combing through Bae Juhyun’s messy long hair.

He didn’t say anything that would make Bae Juhyun lose control of her emotions again, he just extended his hand again, pinching Bae Juhyun’s delicate cheek, wet with tears.

This time, his hand wasn’t slapped away.

Then, he took out a tissue, handed it to Bae Juhyun, and only then did he press down the accelerator, officially driving out of S-M’s underground parking lot.

As the car steadily drove on Seoul’s roads, Bae Juhyun’s body stopped trembling, and her uncontrollable tears finally ceased.

"I’m sorry..."

Noticing that Bae Juhyun’s gaze fell on the large hand holding the steering wheel, Liu Xin’an glanced at her from the corner of his eye, and then seemed to realize.

"Ah~ My hand hurts so much~"

His exaggerated and pitiful act made Bae Juhyun take a deep breath; even though she felt guilty, even though her heart was uneasy, she realized at this moment that he was exaggerating too much.

If it really hurt, he should have screamed right from the start!

Why only now, almost ten minutes later!

"You should at least pretend better..."

Bae Juhyun’s soft complaint also made him smile sheepishly.

Ah! This sheepish smile he had learned from Kang Seulgi, because Bae Juhyun had little resistance to this goofy smile, but... he simply couldn’t grasp the essence of Kang Seulgi’s technique.

Because he didn’t look goofy...

Ahem!

"Feeling better?"

Bae Juhyun softly "mm"ed, then looked at the man’s handsome profile beside her, a look that Liu Xin’an couldn’t understand flashed in her eyes.

Just as Liu Xin’an hesitated whether to ask her, Bae Juhyun suddenly spoke: "These few days, I won’t be going to your place."

"Understood, understood, it’s okay, you guys sort out your stuff first, I’m okay over here."

"Mm." Bae Juhyun responded, then pursed her lips, leaned her head against the car window, absent-mindedly watching the scenery outside passing by quickly.

Was she simply thinking of resolving her issues with Seulgi?

Or... did she not know how to face her boyfriend?

Bae Juhyun couldn’t be sure herself.

———

"Can you go up by yourself? You really don’t need me to go with you?"

Hearing Liu Xin’an’s worried voice made Bae Juhyun’s already complex mood even more complicated. She nodded, extending her hand towards Liu Xin’an.

But when Liu Xin’an, not knowing why, placed his large hand onto hers, Bae Juhyun couldn’t help but twitch her mouth.

"Lunch box."

"Ah? Oh... Tsk, I thought it was because our Juhyun couldn’t bear to part from me~"

Bae Juhyun took the lunch box handed over by Liu Xin’an, and then waved to him.

When Liu Xin’an cooperatively moved his face closer, she cautiously looked around, then lightly pressed her lips to his.

The soft and gentle touch was quite addictive, but now wasn’t the time for affection, so after a brief kiss, Bae Juhyun waved goodbye to Liu Xin’an.

"Be careful on the road, let me know as soon as you get home."

"Okay, but... you’re sure you don’t need me to come up?"

"Mm, I’m fine."

"Alright then, you go upstairs first, I’ll leave once I see you go up."

Knowing she couldn’t persuade Liu Xin’an, Bae Juhyun didn’t say much, she just nodded, carrying the lunch box she got from Liu Xin’an, and gradually disappeared from Liu Xin’an’s view with steady steps.

Approaching the elevator, she pressed the button for the dormitory floor.

In a daze, she found herself unknowingly arriving at the dormitory’s entrance.

Pushing the door open and walking inside was no small challenge for her at present, but soon, Bae Juhyun pulled herself together, calmed her breathing, made an effort to appear serene, entered the password, and pushed open the dormitory’s door.

Next, the bright light in the living room made her instinctively squint.

The aroma in the air froze her in place, and in front of her, Kang Seulgi was sitting cross-legged on the sofa in cool shorts.

In front of Kang Seulgi was spread a feast that looked colorful, fragrant, and tasty.

Her appearance also caused Kang Seulgi, her cheeks puffed, to instinctively look toward the door.

At the moment their eyes met, Bae Juhyun instinctively averted her gaze, not daring to make eye contact with Kang Seulgi.

But...

"Juhyun unnie~"

That familiar form of address instantly brought tears to Bae Juhyun’s eyes, and she let out a sound like boiling water, running to Kang Seulgi’s side, hugging the sister she had recently hurt with harsh words.
