Chapter 296: Two more months, I'll wait for you

Lu Fuzhu had long noticed that these two children had some signs.

When she noticed that her granddaughter was shy, she deliberately turned her head away and didn't look at them.

Bae Joo-hyun felt that if Do-hwan continued to stay here, something unexpected might happen.

She took out a mask from her pocket and said to Dohwan:
"Don't you have to work tonight? I'll take you downstairs."

It's getting late, and it's not appropriate to stay any longer.

Jiang Zhaohuan waved to the two politely and said with a smile:

"Grandma, Zhuyan, thank you for your hospitality. See you next time."

Old people always hope that their home will be more lively. Lu Fuzhu looked regretful, as she wanted to chat more with Zhao Huan.

"Oh my god, are you leaving now? You didn't even eat much watermelon!"

Bae Joo Hyun interrupted Do Hwan who was about to speak and spoke very quickly:
"Grandma, the crew also has watermelons."

"Really? Then your crew treats you well."

The price of fruits in the peninsula is very high, especially watermelon, which is considered a luxury among fruits.

The two changed their shoes and walked downstairs. There was no one around.

Nights in the countryside are completely different from nights in Seoul.

There are not many people enjoying the nightlife here. Apart from the young people who love to play, most people choose to stay at home.

Jiang Zhaohuan glanced at Bae Zhuxuan's thin clothes. Fortunately, it was early June and the weather was hot.

The slightly humid air gradually shortened the distance between the two people.

Bae Joo-hyun secretly glanced at the person next to her out of the corner of her eye, wondering if the video call just now had put any pressure on him.

However, I will have to meet my family in the future.

Meeting in advance now will also make the formal meeting less restrained than it is now.

She couldn't help but smile. Even though they weren't officially together yet, she was already thinking about these things.

The road to the parking lot was not long, and even though the two of them deliberately slowed down their pace, they arrived there in just a few minutes.

Jiang Zhaohuan stood beside the car, his hands lightly on the handlebars, and turned around and said:

"Actually, you don't have to send me here. I'm not a child."

Bae Joo-hyun blinked twice, raised her head and smiled.

Although she is timid, she is still very courageous in certain things.

Just like how she gave up the opportunity to go to college and insisted on betting her life on debuting as an artist.

Bae Joo-hyun boldly reached out and pinched Do-hwan's cheeks, and under his surprised gaze, pulled them up and down and left and right.

She smiled, lowered her hand, and looked the other person in the eye.

"You are six years younger than me, aren't you a child?"

"I'm already twenty-one."

Jiang Zhaohuan raised his hand to indicate the height difference between himself and Bae Zhuxuan, leaned down to look at her as level as possible, and smiled.

"I'm so much taller than you. If I go out with you, you'll definitely think I'm the older one."

"Ah! Are you saying I'm short?"

Jiang Zhaohuan had an innocent expression on his face and raised his hands to show his innocence:
"Unfair, I was clearly praising your baby-like appearance."

Bae Joo-hyun puffed out her lips. Sometimes she really hated her height. If she were taller, she would be able to experience more styles.

She stared at the height of the person in front of her, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

Jiang Zhaohuan noticed that Pei Zhuxuan's expression was a little strange. He scratched the back of his head in confusion and asked:
"What's wrong? Did something I said make you angry?"

"Ani, I'm just mad at myself."

Jiang Zhaohuan roughly guessed what Bae Zhuxuan was upset about. He wanted to reach out and pat her on the head, but after thinking about it, he restrained himself.

He opened the car door and got in sideways. He was obviously much shorter than he was sitting.

He hunched his back slightly, raised his head, and spoke sincerely.

"Bae Joo-hyun, you are already so beautiful, isn't it a bit too much to want to grow taller?"

Whenever I face her, I can always easily express my praise for her.

The sudden mention of her real name made Bae Joo-hyun shudder slightly, and she turned her back to avoid his seeing her blushing face.

"Then why do you have both?"

"Are you complimenting me on how handsome I am?"

Pei Zhuxuan puffed her lips. When did this guy become so eloquent? She had clearly been in the upper hand before. She suddenly remembered something and asked with a hint of jealousy:
"How did you become so talkative? Have you made a lot of friends of the opposite sex recently?"

"If Ha Jung Woo senior is considered a friend of the opposite sex, then that's it."

"You're lying. There are obviously other girls in the photo. Aren't you familiar with the girl from the restaurant?"

Jiang Zhaohuan was stunned when he heard this. He could understand the girl in the restaurant mentioned later, but what did the girl in the photo mean?
Fearing there might be some misunderstanding, he was so anxious that he simply grabbed her wrist and easily turned her around to face him.

"Photos? What does that mean?"

Bae Joo-hyun realized that she had let the cat out of the bag. She pulled her wrist away, feeling guilty and lowering her head.

"...My sister took a photo of you with a girl."

With her head down, she really looks like a shy lop-eared rabbit.

Jiang Zhaohuan guessed the meaning of this sentence, and he explained helplessly:

"That was Kim Hyun-soo who was filming with me. She was just an ordinary friend. I treated her as a sister."

Pei Zhuxuan avoided the other person's gaze and said awkwardly:
"Oh, you don't have to explain that to me."

"But I want to explain to you. I don't want any misunderstandings between us. So if you have any questions, you can ask me directly and I will answer them seriously."

Bae Joo-hyun raised her head and saw his serious expression.

Alas, there is really nothing we can do about him.

She stared at Zhao Huan for a while and asked curiously:

"So why do you always call me Irene? You call my sister Noona, why don't you call me Noona?"

Just like just now, he called her by her real name instead of calling her Nuna.

Jiang Zhaohuan didn't expect that his little thoughts had been discovered by her. He didn't want to call her Nu because of what Gao Zixiang said.

If a younger woman doesn’t call you sister, it means she has some wild thoughts.

If you want the mature and older Noona to like you, you have to find a way to avoid calling her "Noona" and bring the two of you closer.

Kang Do Hwan, who had kept this sentence in mind, decided not to call herself "Nuna" anymore after he figured out what he was thinking.

I told her not to have any misunderstandings and to answer her questions honestly.

The next second, he didn't know how to answer.

Jiang Zhaohuan swallowed his saliva, grabbed the trouser fabric on his thigh with his right hand, and spoke nervously:

"Because I don't want you to treat me as a brother, I don't want to call you 'Nuna'."

Bae Joo-hyun didn't expect that Do-hwan would actually answer her.

This idiot doesn't think that I can understand your little thoughts after hearing such words, right?

“Do you have a pen and paper in your car?”

"Ok?"

Jiang Zhaohuan was a little confused. Wasn't the topic jumping too quickly?

"I'll look for it, wait a moment."

He turned around and rummaged in the car. After finding it in the drawer, he handed it directly to Bae Joo Hyun and asked,

"What's wrong? Are you worried that I won't be able to find my way back?"

"Ani, wait for me."

After Bae Joo-hyun finished writing the content, she quickly stuffed the paper and pen into Do-hwan's arms.

Then, under his surprised gaze, he ran away.

"?"

Jiang Zhaohuan was about to call her when he noticed someone coming over here, so he had to close the car door and check the paper in his hand.

[There are still two months left. I will wait for you. 】

What does it mean?
Jiang Zhaohuan frowned and thought for a while before he realized the meaning of two months.

Red Velvet’s debut date is in two months.

This is also the time when the ban on dating is lifted.

He buried his head directly on the steering wheel, and the collision happened to be in the middle. The "bang" sound scared him so much that he shook.

When Bae Joo-hyun heard the horn, she lowered her head and smiled.

This idiot, why should he be so happy?
