Chapter 444: Uninvited Guests in the Livestream...s!
Returning to a cream-white knit sweater, a dark green jumper, and black straight pants, Bae Juhyun reverted to the usual capable, beautiful big star.
The previously gathered black hair was now let down, styled into a simple long straight look.
The wispy bangs on her forehead made her look much more youthful.
Although Liu Xin'an felt it was a pity that there was no hanbok, there was no denying that Bae Juhyun was still irresistible to the eyes at this moment.
At least, with Liu Xin'an staring at her unblinkingly, Bae Juhyun felt quite burdened.
She quickly walked over to Liu Xin'an and discreetly elbowed her boyfriend's rib, and when she saw Liu Xin'an putting on a face of agony, she gave an innocent expression.
"What's wrong?"
Bae Juhyun perfectly exemplified the saying "the villain sues first," leaving Liu Xin'an speechless. He just covered the attacked area and gave a forced laugh.
"Nothing."
Since today was New Year's Eve, firecrackers were already sounding outside continuously.
In fact, from the first day they arrived, Bae Juhyun was startled by the firecrackers, but as time passed, she adjusted to the noise again.
However, this year she definitely wouldn't foolishly listen to Liu Xin'an and follow him outside to light firecrackers.
She resolved to herself, but plans always seem to change unexpectedly.
Before she could step forward to the kitchen to help, a small figure appeared before her.
The adorably sculpted little Park Young'eun with two pigtails held a lollipop in one hand and her younger sister Park Youyun's hand in the other.
Bae Juhyun had no resistance to children, let alone to such cute little ones.
She squatted down and asked in a soft tone meant to coax children, "Does Young'eun want Unnie to do something?"
(Unnie: older sister)
Park Young'eun beamed an infectious, innocent smile and offered the lollipop in her hand to Bae Juhyun.
Received with such a great gift suddenly, Bae Juhyun let out a surprised "Oh?" before carefully accepting it with a gentle wave: "Is it for Unnie?"
"Ani, Unnie, help me open it."
Bae Juhyun showed a hurt expression, pitifully muttering, "I thought Young'eun wanted to give it to Unnie. Sister is so~ sad."
"Then..." Park Young'eun hesitated, glancing around for a moment before spotting another lollipop in her sister's hand.
Then, under Bae Juhyun's stunned gaze, Park Young'eun snatched the lollipop from Park Youyun's hand and handed it to Bae Juhyun, achieving the feat of "borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha."
But by doing this... Park Youyun's lips quivered, and her large eyes brimmed with tears.
"Boo-hoo..."
The sobs were quite noticeable in the living room.
Bae Juhyun, squatting in front of the two little girls, was at a loss, feeling as if she was the villain due to Park Young'eun's actions.
Bae Juhyun hurriedly returned the lollipop she got from Young'eun to Youyun, worried that this wouldn't calm the little girl. She even considerately unwrapped the lollipop.
"Youyun-ah, your Unnie was just joking with you. You can have it."
"Boo-hoo~"
Getting her lollipop back didn't stop Park Youyun's crying.
Bae Juhyun gave a pleading look to Liu Xin'an, who was laughing uncontrollably on the side, feeling a burst of frustration.
Finally, under his girlfriend's murderous gaze, Liu Xin'an quickly came over to help coax the little girls together with Bae Juhyun.
After successfully promising the two of them some snacks, Liu Xin'an and Bae Juhyun put on matching coats and stepped out of the house together.
The snacks they bought before were almost finished by Park Jinyoung and Li Chenglu... more needed to be bought.
This was something Liu Xin'an really felt like complaining about; it'd be fine if Li Chenglu ate some, but why was his uncle so interested in snacks too?
Isn't he an artist as well?
Doesn't he need to manage his figure?
"Don't bully Youyun." Seeing the petite Bae Juhyun beside him, Liu Xin'an suddenly had an idea and teased.
Bae Juhyun stopped in her tracks, looking at Liu Xin'an with disbelief, her face flushed.
"When did I bully them!"
"Youyun was crying."
"Hey, you stop it, you were clearly beside me, don't talk nonsense!"
Flustered, Miss Bae tugged fiercely at Liu Xin'an's coat, shoving him.
"Just joking, just joking, do you want to eat anything?"
"I don't particularly want anything, hurry up and get there, buy it quickly, and go back early, I still want to help."
Bae Juhyun adjusted her mask, looking up at the distant supermarket.
Even though it was an unremarkable small town, it still had all the necessary living facilities.
The supermarket was just an ordinary one; Liu Xin'an pushed a small shopping cart, while Bae Juhyun walked ahead, looking around excitedly.
Soon, with Bae Juhyun's swift actions, the cart filled up more and more. Liu Xin'an estimated that if they added much more, he probably wouldn't be able to carry it all by himself, so he quickly stopped Bae Juhyun's actions.
"Alright, we've bought enough, any more and those two will only eat snacks."
"Hmm... okay, let's stop then. Maybe an ice cream..."
"No, what are you eating ice cream for in this weather?"
"The house is so warm..."
"No."
Bae Juhyun sighed, helpless, since it was Liu Xin'an who was paying.
She didn't have any way to pay here.
Carrying a big full bag of snacks back home, and handing them over to the two little sisters who squealed with excitement, Liu Xin'an and Bae Juhyun went their separate ways.
