Chapter 283 The moonlight is so beautiful tonight
After finishing the call, Jiang Zhaohuan felt refreshed. He put his phone in his pocket and walked towards the living room.

Solving a troublesome guy will make her happier.

However, when he returned to the living room, Jiang Zhaohuan found that Bae Zhuxuan's expression when she looked at him was a little strange.

He touched his face in confusion and asked:
"Is there something dirty on my face?"

"Ani."

Pei Zhuxuan shook her head and said with a smile,

"I just think you seem to have become more handsome."

"?"

Jiang Zhaohuan was a little confused and didn't understand why she suddenly praised him.

Of course, it’s still very happy to be praised.

A few minutes ago, when Kang Do Hwan left the living room to make a phone call.

Bae Joo-hyun took out her cell phone with a distressed expression as she was thinking about how to reply to Jung Sung-gyu's message.

If she offends such a person, the company's senior management may talk to her.

But agreeing to such a request for dinner was not her style.

So Bae Joo-hyun thought of several versions in her mind before sending a tactful rejection.

What I received was a red exclamation mark.

Did this mean you deleted yourself?

Bae Joo-hyun noticed Kang Do-hwan smiling as he finished his phone call and realized a possibility.

He helped himself get rid of an annoying guy.

Jiang Zhaohuan, who was praised, sat cross-legged on the ground. He poured himself half a glass of champagne and prepared to drink some more.

I don’t know if I’m in a better mood today or if my alcohol tolerance has increased.

All in all, after drinking a whole glass of champagne, I still didn't feel tipsy as I used to.

Bae Joo-hyun looked at the Chinese words on the paper. She had almost learned them.

What I need to do next is to drink some more wine.

"Diaohuan, I want to get some fresh air."

The sudden invitation to a briefing made Jiang Zhaohuan look at Bae Zhuxuan's face.

After making sure that the other party was sober, he stood up and said:

"Then let's go to the balcony. I just don't know if there will be paparazzi taking pictures."

Pei Zhuxuan was amused by this sentence. She reached out and patted Zhaohuan's arm, and whispered:

"Ah~ Why have you become an idiot? The balcony faces the Han River. Can paparazzi still take pictures in the Han River?"

Jiang Zhaohuan rarely goes to the balcony on weekdays, and the illegitimate fans who always appear near the apartment building always make him alert.

He scratched his cheek slightly embarrassedly, and his smile turned silly.

"Well, that's true."

The two of them came to the balcony with champagne and wine glasses.

The evening breeze in April is still a little chilly, especially on high-rise balconies where the wind is stronger.

Jiang Zhaohuan took out one of his coats and wanted to give it to Bae Zhuxuan to keep her warm.

Unexpectedly, the other party had no intention of taking over, holding a wine glass in one hand and squid strips in the other.

Pei Zhuxuan was worried that someone's straight man would really take the coat away, so she had to speak out:

"Zhaohuan, please help me put it on."

"Inside."

Kang Do Hwan walked behind Bae Joo Hyun and what caught his eye was the white neck and the large area of ​​skin that was dazzlingly white.

The hands that were grasping the coat also turned into pinching with fingertips, for fear of touching it.

The denim jacket successfully hid the exposed skin, and he looked away.

How could Bae Joo-hyun, who had her back to him, not feel his caution?

She stuffed the squid into her mouth and used her free hand to pull at her denim jacket, which was about to fall off her shoulders if she turned a little further.

Pei Zhuxuan leaned gently against the half wall of the balcony, raised her chin, and curved the corners of her lips:

"Do-hwan, do I have a thorn on my shoulder?"

"No."

"Then why are you so careful?"

Pei Zhuxuan held the wine glass with both hands, tapped the wall of the glass slowly with her index finger, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.
"You've already filmed a kissing scene, how can you still be so innocent?"

"Then... can that be the same?"

"Why is it different?"

Jiang Zhaohuan looked at the way she looked at him, and his face became hot.

Doesn’t Bae Joo-hyun know that the way she raises her head and looks at people is...super cute?

He tilted his head awkwardly, pulling his bangs with his left hand. "That was just acting. I've never been in a relationship in real life."

Except when filming TV series, I have never had close contact with the opposite sex.

You are the only one I am willing to have physical contact with in life.

But how could I possibly say such words?

Pei Zhuxuan couldn't help laughing. She stopped teasing him and whispered:
"Wait here for a moment. I have a gift for you."

She returned to the living room with the wine glass, leaving it there, but brought a novel with her.

Jiang Zhaohuan looked at the words on the cover of the novel and asked:
"Is it Natsume Soseki? I know all his books..."

The words stopped abruptly.

He realized he had said the wrong thing.

This Korean translation of "The Complete Works of Natsume Soseki" is probably the gift that Bae Joo-hyun gave to herself.

Ah Xi, are you a little tipsy?
The words came out without thinking.

Bae Joo-hyun noticed his annoyed expression, but she didn't care.

After all, this novel book is just a gift, or rather...it is to cover up the real gift.

She stretched out her hand and waved it downwards twice, signaling someone to squat a little lower.

"Zhaohuan, close your eyes and don't open them."

This sentence made Jiang Zhaohuan stunned. Did she want to do something to him?

He quickly glanced at the novel. Hmm... could there be a necklace or something hidden inside the book?
"Close your eyes quickly~"

Hearing her urging, he immediately closed his eyes obediently.

Bae Joo-hyun took out a paper bookmark from the book, which she made herself.

She looked at Do Hwan who was kneeling in front of her, and raised her hand to place the bookmark only one centimeter away from his lips.

With his eyes tightly closed and his eyelashes fluttering, one could even feel his nervousness.

Bae Joo-hyun didn't hesitate too much and leaned forward slightly drunk.

She kissed the bookmark gently, pressing the other side against his lips.

The scent of flowers that wafted into his face made Jiang Zhaohuan's heartbeat quicken quietly.

What is this feeling? Can I open my eyes now?
"OK, done~"

"Can I open my eyes?"

"Open it."

Jiang Zhaohuan opened his eyes nervously, and saw Bae Zhuxuan waving a bookmark in front of him.

He blinked and asked uncertainly:

"Is this a gift for me?"

"It's a handmade bookmark I made. There's a sentence I really like on it, written in Chinese."

Jiang Zhaohuan was not in a hurry to read the contents of the bookmark. He recalled the feeling just now and asked:

"So you put the bookmark in my mouth just now?"

"I wanted you to put a lip print on it, but you didn't wear lipstick, so I had to put mine here."

When Bae Joo-hyun said this, she still felt a little uneasy.

She was afraid that Zhaohuan might sense something.

Jiang Zhaohuan looked down at the bookmark in his hand and found a red lip print on it.

He bit his lower lip unconsciously and his Adam's apple rolled.

What concerned him more than the red lipstick marks was the Chinese words.

The handwriting is very neat, and you can tell that she wrote it stroke by stroke.

The moonlight is so beautiful tonight.

Bae Joo-hyun noticed that his eyes fell on the bookmark, and when she saw the lip print she had left on the back, a hint of unnatural shame flashed across her face.

She hurriedly said something and fled.

"I'm going back first, good night."

"Good job at work."

Jiang Zhaohuan watched the little rabbit leave and curled the corners of his mouth.

He turned and looked at the bright moonlight.

Whether it was intentional or unintentional, it doesn't seem to matter.

Jiang Zhaohuan picked up his unfinished glass of champagne and drank it all in one gulp.

He turned and walked into the house, brushing back his messy bangs.

The wind is quite strong tonight.

　There is no such thing as deleting friends on KakaoTalk. (I never deleted anyone when I used it, so I don't know.)
　　Don’t ask, if you ask, I added it.
