Chinese New Year in China is truly overwhelmingly lively, and Bae Juhyun has never seen such a lively occasion her entire life.
Of course, for someone who is easily scared like her, being overly lively is not a good thing, but that atmosphere really unknowingly makes people curl their lips into a smile.
Running from such a lively place to a simple place like Daegu...
"It's okay, it's nice to have some quiet, don't you find it too noisy sometimes?"
"Hmm... Hey! Do you even have the right to say that?"
Bae Juhyun first nods in agreement, then starts to complain.
Anyone could say that, except Liu Xin'an.
This guy loves setting off firecrackers more than anyone, and now he's complaining...
Didn't see him do less last year either!
The scares she got during Chinese New Year were at least half caused by Liu Xin'an!
"Hehe."
Liu Xin'an chuckles foolishly, then affectionately feeds a piece of spicy rice cake to Bae Juhyun.
Bae Juhyun glares at the man with her beautiful eyes: "Not eating! I've already had two pieces."
"Ah~"
"Seriously, I can't eat anymore, I have work tomorrow."
"Ah~"
"Hey, you, I'll get scolded by Taekyon oppa!"
"Ah~"
"..."
Bae Juhyun obediently opens her mouth, just preparing to bite down when Liu Xin'an withdraws his big hand, along with the enticing spicy rice cake.
"Makes sense, better not let you eat it."
"Hey!!"
โโโ
"Aren't you really cold?"
Today's temperature in Seoul dropped to minus six degrees.
In such weather, Liu Xin'an wore a piece of clothing that's not particularly thick, it was fine inside the car, but once outside, his figure looked visibly thinner.
Ah, of course, the thinness refers more to the clothing, his figure is definitely not thin.
Liu Xin'an waves his hand, smiling, and takes out his phone to find a particularly good-looking movie to watch during this time.
"Let's go watch a movie."
This suggestion made Bae Juhyun's heart flutter crazily.
Actually, the cinema is a great place for artists too.
When the movie plays, the whole cinema turns completely dark.
In that environment, exposure is almost unrealistic.
So Bae Juhyun didn't hesitate a bit and nodded like crazy.
Whatever movie to watch doesn't really matter, she enjoys this kind of date like ordinary people, plus the cinema atmosphere.
"You're really well-behaved today, did you do something bad, afraid I'll comment on it?"
Of course, the unusual Liu Xin'an still made Bae Juhyun a bit suspicious.
Actually, before bed yesterday, she anticipated today's anniversary, but honestly... she didn't expect Liu Xin'an to make a decision to go out on a date.
This is Liu Xin'an, the man who deeply engraved "caution" in his heart.
"Isn't fulfilling your wish enough, so now shall we go home?"
Liu Xin'an pretends to be very annoyed, Bae Juhyun quickly reaches out to hug his arm, and rubs her stunning little face against it with a goofy smile.
"No no~ It's rare to go out for a date."
Liu Xin'an really falls for Bae Juhyun's cute antics.
He stops teasing her and instead gently pinches her charming little face.
The tender and smooth skin is just irresistible.
"Just scaring you, let's go, we're heading out now."
"Okay~"
For Liu Xin'an, the content of the movie really doesn't matter.
What's important, from start to end, is the woman who hangs on his arm, leans her head on his shoulder, and is incredibly immersed.
Gently kneading the slender and soft hand in his palm, Liu Xin'an's thoughts gradually drift away.
Everything that needs to be prepared, has been prepared.
Honestly, he doesn't think Bae Juhyun has a reason to reject him, even for Red Velvet, so vital in her life, Liu Xin'an has given her immense respect.
He didn't ask Bae Juhyun to leave the entertainment industry, instead, he's willing to voluntarily leave his hometown and accompany her through their most difficult times.
Now she's soaring, and this is only a proposal, not yet saying getting a certificate tomorrow and preparing for pregnancy the day after tomorrow... Bae Juhyun can still be a celestial beauty in the entertainment industry, as Red Velvet.
What Liu Xin'an wants is nothing but the promise to stay together for a lifetime.
Based on these circumstances, Liu Xin'an really can't think of a reason Bae Juhyun would refuse.
But precisely because he understands this is an answer with an already determined reply, he becomes even more nervous.
The last time he felt this nervous seemed to be when he first returned to Daegu with Bae Juhyun to meet her parents.
The overly intense nervousness made his palms even sweat, Bae Juhyun clearly felt this and withdrew her attention from the film slightly confused, looking up at the man's profile beside her, speaking softly:
"Are you hot?"
Liu Xin'an suddenly startled, he comes back to his senses, hurriedly releases Bae Juhyun's little hand from his palm, wipes his big hand on his body, and smiles naturally pretending.
"A little, sweating?"
"Hmm... Take off your coat, the movie will still be on for a while."
"Okay."
...
"It's really nice~ Going to the cinema once in a while is quite an interesting experience."
After the film ended, Bae Juhyun laughs and accompanies Liu Xin'an, although the mask and hat cover her lovely face, the beautiful eyes revealed outside still show her stunning charm.
Liu Xin'an agrees fully, watching a movie in the cinema is an experience that can't be felt at home no matter what.
