"Let's ask around later. Maybe there will be a chance next year."

Even Liu Xin'an had to admire that the timing of his relationship with Bae Zhuhyun was a coincidence.

We just happened to be stuck at such a perfect time slot, so next year there will be plenty of opportunities for Bae Joo Hyun to reap the dividends of dating him.

"A moment? Do you have any other activities tonight?"

Jin Yelin, who was huddled in the quilt, looked at Bae Zhuhyun in the picture eagerly and asked curiously.

Now she is so cold that she has no strength. If possible, she really wants to go to the steam room and have a comfortable steam...

"I plan to take everyone to the jjimjilbang tonight."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo yeah... yeah, I wanna go take a steam bath."

Because she was feeling unwell, Jin Yelin was much more fragile than her usual "little devil" self.

Poor Jin Yelin almost burst into tears when she heard about the steaming and sauna that she longed for.

"When my sister gets back, I'll take you to a steam room."

The one who loves Kim Ye-rim the most in the entire Red Velvet is Bae Joo-hyun. Seeing the young and old members of the team whom she raised as her daughter look so pitiful, "Mama Bae" really feels bad for her.

"Okay~ I'm going to bed. I hope you have a good time."

"Well, go to sleep quickly."

Bae Zhuhyun stopped disturbing her sister and ended the call after speaking softly, with worry on her face.

The little white hands holding the phone couldn't stop rubbing it.

But as a big hand gently pressed her small hand, Pei Zhuxuan subconsciously looked at Liu Xin'an beside her.

The man was looking at the computer screen, but the warmth from his big hands made her feel at ease.

"very worried?"

"Um..."

Pei Zhuxuan grabbed her big hand, rubbed it with her cheek, and then rested her head on it peacefully, so that Liu Xin'an could gently caress her cheek.

"Yerin rarely gets sick, but when she does she is always serious. Now that I am not with her, I am always worried that no one will take care of her."

"Where are Seungwan and Sooyoung?"

"Seungwan has his own schedule every day, Sooyoung also has a TV drama to shoot, and now Seulgi is coming over... But Taeqian hyung will let his assistant come over, so you can rest assured about this kind of thing."

"Then why can't you let go?"

Pei Zhuxuan sighed and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked softly: "Would you be worried if Cheng Lu suddenly fell ill?"

Liu Xin'an and Li Chenglu are family members, siblings.

Bae Zhuhyun does not think that her relationship with the members is worse than that of Liu Xin'an and Li Chenglu.

"Well... I can probably understand, but I have to correct one thing. Li Chenglu's physical fitness is even more exaggerated than mine. You have also seen my godfather's body shape."

Pei Zhuhyun was forced to recall by Liu Xin'an's words, and then burst out laughing.

Indeed, the exaggerated figure of Liu Xin'an's godfather, Li Chenglu's biological father, is hard to associate with "cold".

"Bah, bah, bah, Cheng Lu won't be sick." Pei Zhuxuan, who was in a better mood, patted her mouth gently, and then said "bah, bah" twice. She never thought that Li Chenglu was sick, she just hit him.

Just an example.

"Hmm...but in my impression, Li Chenglu really hasn't gotten sick a few times. You know the reason why I keep fit."

"Cheng Lu said that you were very thin when you were young, like..." Pei Zhuxuan squeezed Liu Xin'an's big hand, thought for a few seconds and then smiled, "like a chicken."

"md."

"Ah! This is a curse word, you actually said a curse word!"

Pei Zhuxuan, who understood Chinese, patted Liu Xin'an's shoulder excitedly, and the sound of "papapapa" made Liu Xinan's mouth twitch.

"If you are really worried, do you want to go back temporarily after the event tomorrow to see Yelin?"

"Well, it depends on the situation. I'll call Seulgi first to ask about the situation."

Bae Zhuhyun sighed, reopened the lock screen of her phone, found Jiang Seulqi's number and dialed it.

After the call was connected, Jiang Seulgi's voice rang first before Bae Zhuhyun could say anything.

The content of the words stunned Pei Zhuxuan on the other side of the receiver and Liu Xin'an who was eavesdropping.

"Ah! Could it be that Sister Zhuhyun came to pick me up and actually called me during the time when I got off the plane!"

After hearing this, Pei Zhuhyun and Liu Xin'an looked at each other. After a few seconds of silence, the two of them said "Huh?" in tacit understanding.

Very good, this "ha" also confused Jiang Seulqi on the other end of the phone.

"ha?"

Half an hour later.

"It turns out you didn't pick me up. You made me happy for nothing."

After hugging Kang Seulgi affectionately, Bae Joo Hyun heard Kang Seulgi's aggrieved voice.

Bae Zhuhyun looked embarrassed and said angrily to Jiang Seulqi who had already arrived at the hotel: "I thought you would come here tomorrow."

"It's too late to come here tomorrow. There's nothing to do in the evening anyway, and sister Zhuhyun, you've already come over, so I'll come over tonight."

Jeju Island is very small...ah, to be honest, the whole of Korea is not that big.

Precisely because Jeju Island is so small, I can drive over to the event site in time tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Kang Seulgi happily chose to book the same hotel as Bae Zhuhyun.

After all, Pei Zhuxuan is going to invite Liu Xin'an's family to travel together. This kind of travel will definitely involve a big meal.

Jiang Seulqi’s little plan has been made for a long time!

Of course, Kang Seulgi came here to work, so she flew in with her, as well as an assistant and a stylist who was responsible for her makeup and styling.

"Staying here tonight?"

"Well, I've already booked a room."

"Then you have dinner tonight..."

This time Jiang Seulqi stopped talking, her innocent round face revealed her signature squinty eyes and innocent smile, and her expectant look made Bae Zhuhyun speechless.

"Okay, come and eat with us, but Xin'an's parents are here too, is that okay with you?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I just want to thank my uncle for supporting our work."

Jiang Seulqi smiled brightly, and then gave a thumbs up to Liu Xin'an beside her.

Well... Liu Xin'an was very confused by Jiang Seulqi's action, because he had no idea why this person gave him a thumbs up.

"What does this mean? Compliment me?"

"Yes, I praise you for having such a great father."

"...Then you should praise my dad in front of him."

"Then I wouldn't dare."

Jiang Seqi chuckled and pointed to the door: "I'm going back to my room first. I still need to pack my things. When are you going to have dinner? Remember to send me a message. Are there any activities in the evening?"

"Wait a minute, how is Yelin doing when you come over?"

Bae Zhuhyun quickly stopped Kang Seulgi and asked about Yelin's situation.

Jiang Seulqi answered honestly: "Yirin is fine. She just caught a cold while sleeping yesterday. She has taken medicine and is resting. Meijuan is taking care of her."

"Huh, just someone to take care of them." Meijuan is an assistant in charge of their daily life. They are a five-member girl group, with four managers alone.

Cheng Taiqian is just their general agent, and is usually responsible for group itineraries and more important itineraries.

Like playing songs when I came back, or the previous filming trip to China.

Every time I go out for an event, there are several accompanying staff accompanying me, and there are even bodyguards on occasions where there are many people.

"Sister Zhuhyun must be very nervous."

"Well... I was indeed scared. This child Yilin is really scared. I have to teach her a lesson when I get back."

When Jiang Seulqi heard about the class, she looked worried, while Liu Xin'an couldn't hide her inner curiosity.

Are you a girlfriend or a teacher? Can you play some... more interesting role-playing next time?

White shirt, black framed glasses...

"What class?"

Hearing Liu Xin'an's confused voice, Jiang Seulqi became interested.

"Have you never been taught by Sister Zhuhyun? Then you must experience it if you have the opportunity in the future, it is interesting... Farewell!"

Before she finished speaking, Jiang Seulgi, whose scalp was numb from being stared at by Bae Zhuhyun, quickly turned around and ran away.

Liu Xin'an was confused by this embarrassing action. When he looked at his girlfriend in confusion, Pei Zhuxuan showed a very famous bright smile.

She stepped slightly, held Liu Xin'an's cheeks gently with both hands, and spoke in a very affectionate tone.

"Well-behaved babies generally shouldn't be curious about things you shouldn't be curious about."

The moment these words were spoken, a chill went straight to the soles of Liu Xin'an's feet.

He nodded honestly, and then smiled heartily.

"I'm not curious at all."

It was an answer that satisfied Pei Zhuxuan. She waved and signaled Liu Xin'an to bow her head.

After Liu Xin'an lowered his head in cooperation, she pressed a kiss on Liu Xin'an's cheek.

Probably the so-called... hush money?
