Peninsula: Starting with a silly childhood friend!

Chapter 150 "Give me a foot massage?"

The atmosphere around them grew increasingly intimate. She gazed quietly into Liu Baiyuan's eyes. Bae Joo-hyun, who had never been so close to a man before, seemed to be hooked, showing no intention of getting up.

It even seems like they're getting closer and closer...

Just when the two were almost nose to nose, and Bae Joo-hyun had even subconsciously closed her eyes, suddenly...

boom!!!!

"what!"

A loud bang from the sky made Bae Joo-hyun scream and tremble.

Although at first glance, her reaction seems similar to that of Sana Minatozaki when they went out together, there are actually some differences between the two. Bae Joo-hyun is simply afraid of these sudden and startling things.

In other words, she is timid and easily frightened.

Bae Joo-hyun: Oh! I'm not a coward! I'm Noona, Noona!

But Sana Minatozaki is terrified of thunder. Even if she knows there will be thunder in two seconds, she will still be terrified.

At this moment, Bae Joo-hyun was suddenly startled and subconsciously buried her head in Liu Baiyuan's arms, her whole body trembling.

Just then, an elderly man taking a stroll walked over, looked at Liu Baiyuan and Pei Zhuxuan, shook his head slightly and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, these young people nowadays, they're really indecent. It's thundering and about to rain, and they're still hugging and cuddling here."

After saying that, the old man shook his head and left, leaving Liu Baiyuan and Pei Zhuxuan on the grass looking at each other awkwardly...

Perhaps it was because of the old man's comment that Bae Joo-hyun seemed to come to her senses and realize that her current position with Yoo Baek-won was a bit awkward. Even though she was wearing a mask, Yoo Baek-won, who was pinned down by her, could still tell that Bae Joo-hyun seemed a little shy.

"Noona, are you alright?"

Bae Joo-hyun, kneeling on the grass, reluctantly separated herself from Yoo Baek-won. As Yoo Baek-won sat up, the atmosphere became somewhat romantic, and he inquired about Bae Joo-hyun's injuries. Although he had been knocked off the car by Bae Joo-hyun, he was unharmed because of the grass behind him, but Bae Joo-hyun seemed to have suffered a serious fall.

"fine..."

"hiss..."

Bae Joo-hyun had just shaken her head when she felt a sharp pain in her ankle, and her small hand instinctively reached for it.

Perhaps because her attention was focused on Liu Baiyuan, and the sudden surprise caused her adrenaline to surge, suppressing the pain, now that she has recovered, her sprained ankle is starting to show signs of pain.

"You said you were fine, but you twisted your ankle." Seeing Bae Joo-hyun's appearance, he immediately understood that his older sister was being stubborn, and his eyes showed a bit more worry.

Seeing that Liu Baiyuan had exposed her, Bae Joo-hyun felt a little embarrassed. Although she had always taken the route of a cool and aloof older sister since her debut, her expression at this moment had a bit of a coquettish and sweet girl vibe.

However, Liu Baiyuan wasn't paying attention to her expression at the moment. His gaze was fixed on Pei Zhuxuan's ankle, and he felt a bit of trouble. He could see it was one thing, but whether he could treat it was another matter entirely.

He doesn't know how to treat sprains either...

But actually, he was overthinking it. He wouldn't, but Bae Joo-hyun would.

Putting aside the injuries she sustained after her debut, she had been a trainee for so many years before her debut that sprains and falls were commonplace for her.

Although outsiders say she's an idol who debuted solely based on her looks, only her fellow trainees know how incredibly talented Bae Joo-hyun was during her trainee days. Not only did she maintain straight A grades in every monthly evaluation, but she also achieved a near-perfect score in her graduation assessment.

It even became a benchmark achievement among female trainees of the same generation at SM Entertainment.

To achieve such results, one must practice diligently. Therefore, sprains and falls are commonplace for her.

Bae Joo-hyun sat on the grass and said to him, "Bae Yuan, could you help me take off my shoes?"

Ok?

Upon hearing this, Liu Baiyuan's face immediately showed a hint of astonishment. No, what kind of unexpected turn of events was this? Weren't they just talking about sprains? How did they suddenly jump to this topic?

Seeing that he hadn't moved, Bae Joo-hyun looked at him in confusion. When she saw him looking at her with a strange expression, she seemed to understand something for a moment.

"Oh, what are you thinking? I just wanted you to help me take off my shoes so I can loosen up my ankle. This kind of sprain isn't a big deal; it'll be fine in a bit."

Although she was wearing sneakers today, wearing shoes still caused some hindrance, so she asked Liu Baiyuan to help her take them off because she was really afraid to move her ankle.

"oh oh."

Liu Baiyuan coughed slightly, somewhat embarrassed; he had been overthinking it.

The main issue was their second meeting, which involved feet and caused quite a misunderstanding. So when he heard this, he was completely bewildered.

Liu Baiyuan squatted down in front of Bae Joo-hyun. Today, Bae Joo-hyun was wearing loose jeans, and there were still traces of sweat on her white shirt. This was because Bae Joo-hyun was nervous while riding her bike.

Reaching out, he took off Bae Joo-hyun's sneakers, revealing her fair and delicate feet.

In fact, she doesn't really like wearing socks, and sometimes she doesn't even like wearing shoes properly.

So you can often see her walking with her feet on the tops of her shoes, revealing her fair and pink heels.

Obviously, that's how it is today.

Liu Baiyuan looked at the feet in front of him. The rounded toes and beige nails were still clearly visible even in the dim light.

Her slender toes even had a few faint blue veins that weren't very prominent, which added to the charm of her feet that belonged to a mature woman.

However, before Liu Baiyuan could see for long, Bae Joo-hyun immediately pulled her legs up, supporting her heel with one hand and grasping the ball of her foot with the other, and began to gently shake them.

This kind of sprain is not a big problem. It's just twisting your ankle when you fall. As long as you move your ankle a little and press the sprained area, it will be fine.

Previously, when she sprained her ankle, her teammates or classmates from her trainee days would help her loosen her muscles and joints. But under the current circumstances, she has no choice but to do it herself.

However... given that her ankle was already painful from the sprain, she really couldn't bring herself to do it herself.

Anyone who gets injured frequently knows this.

Sometimes, even when you know it will hurt a lot, you just can't bring yourself to do it.

Bae Joo-hyun is in this state now. She's fine with just moving around a bit, but she's hesitant to get a massage to reduce the swelling because it really hurts...

So... her gaze fell on Liu Baiyuan, who had been sitting to the side watching her.

"Bai Yuan, could you massage it for me? I'll be fine once the swelling goes down."

"Me?"

Liu Baiyuan was momentarily stunned by Pei Zhuxuan's words.

"Of course, otherwise, who else would I be able to rely on?"

Bae Joo-hyun's tone became more forceful, seemingly to hide her shyness; after all, having a man hold her foot was somewhat embarrassing.

Feet are one of the most sensitive parts of a woman's body, and this is no exaggeration.

Looking at Bae Joo-hyun's small feet, Liu Baiyuan finally nodded.

And so, this strange scene unfolded: on the banks of the Han River in Seoul, a man and a woman sat on the grass. The man held the woman's small foot in his hand and massaged her ankle, while the woman's eyes were filled with desire, and the half of her face that was exposed was as red as a ripe egg.

She even couldn't help but hum softly, making suggestive noises.

The two bicycles lying askew to the side looked like clowns, and nobody paid them any attention.

"Okay, that's enough."

Bae Joo-hyun pulled her small foot back and quickly stuffed it into her shoe. If blushing could be used to cook, then Bae Joo-hyun's face might be big enough to fry an egg right now.

After feeling the warm foot in his hand leave, Liu Baiyuan took a deep breath without making a sound. Although his face was expressionless, he seemed to relax a little.

Clearly, this was his first time giving someone a foot massage.

Bae Joo-hyun stood up with some difficulty. Although she was still limping a bit, she was obviously much better than before.

Seeing this, Liu Baiyuan also stood up and finally helped to lift the two bicycles that looked like clowns.

Although neither of them was seriously injured in the fall, both bicycles sustained different types of damage. Bae Joo-hyun's handlebars were bent from the impact, while Yoo Baek-won's bicycle also had some noticeable scratches.

The two strolled slowly back to where they had come from. After walking for a while, Liu Baiyuan seemed to have thought of something amusing and chuckled, saying, "Nuna said he would ride to the Han River Bridge, but he didn't expect to end up walking back in such a sorry state."

"Hey! You dare tease me like that!"

Hearing Liu Baiyuan's teasing, Bae Joo-hyun felt a little embarrassed. Recalling her own boastful appearance just now, she felt ashamed.

The two leisurely returned to the car rental shop. The once lively crowd seemed to have vanished because of the loud thunder. In its place, people on the street were hurrying along, clearly worried that it would rain soon.

After paying for some of the damage caused by the recent crash, the two prepared to head back.

But at that moment, the sky thudded again, followed by a torrential downpour.

"what!"

The downpour came quickly, with almost no time to adjust. The torrential rain pelted Liu Baiyuan and Pei Zhuxuan, and the car rental shop owner was not spared either. He had planned to pack up and leave as soon as Liu Baiyuan and Pei Zhuxuan returned, but he didn't expect that the car would be returned, but he couldn't leave.

Liu Baiyuan and Bae Joo-hyun immediately wanted to find a place to shelter from the rain, but when he looked back, he saw that Bae Joo-hyun was limping and could not walk fast. In just a few seconds, their clothes were already soaked.

Liu Baiyuan gritted his teeth slightly, not caring whether he would offend her, and turned around to carry Pei Zhuxuan on his back, running towards the shed not far away.

Soaked to the bone, Bae Joo-hyun looked at Yoo Baek-won who had picked her up and instinctively hugged his neck tightly, pressing herself against him. It is said that a person's first instinctive behavior is the most revealing of their inner instincts.

The fact that Liu Baiyuan had carried her on his back almost without hesitation, instead of leaving her far behind, was enough to make Liu Baiyuan hold an indelible place in her heart.

Regardless of what Bae Joo-hyun was thinking, the torrential rain in reality wouldn't stop because of her thoughts. Her clothes, soaked by the rain, clung tightly to her body. However, Liu Baiyuan didn't even notice this unexpected benefit.

"call..."

Rushing under the shed, and seeing that no more rain was hitting him, Liu Baiyuan put Pei Zhuxuan down and breathed a sigh of relief.

Getting caught in the rain is no pleasant experience, and he's not like Jiahao...

At this moment, Bae Joo-hyun's gaze towards Yoo Baek-won held a hint of something indescribable. When he carried her away, she thought about many things, but in essence, it all boiled down to one thought: she had made up her mind about this man.

"Ding! Bae Joo-hyun's favorability +5!"

Progress bar: 25%.

Hearing that five more points had been added, Liu Baiyuan wasn't too surprised this time, after all, he had rescued her from the torrential rain.

Seeing Bae Joo-hyun's already soaked hair, Liu Baiyuan turned his gaze to the convenience store behind him. The awning was a sunshade set up by the small supermarket, which conveniently provided shelter for Liu Baiyuan and Bae Joo-hyun from the rain.

"Aniyaseo, do you have any towels?"

After helping Pei Zhuxuan to sit down on a chair under the sunshade, Liu Baiyuan turned around and went inside to buy a clean towel and two bottles of water.

When he came out, he saw Bae Joo-hyun sitting in a chair, her hair wet. Combined with her cool and beautiful face, it instantly created a subtle sense of fragility. In addition, Bae Joo-hyun's body was already soaked, and her clothes clung tightly to her skin, outlining her curvaceous figure.

Even through that shirt, you could vaguely see a hint of black underneath.

"Noona, towel."

Liu Baiyuan stepped forward and handed her a towel, but Bae Joo-hyun didn't take it. Instead, she smiled at him and said, "You can wipe me off."

After speaking, Bae Joo-hyun took off her mask. She had already put her hat back in her bag while eating, but speaking of which, the downpour had soaked her bag.

As Bae Joo-hyun took off her mask, Liu Baiyuan's heart skipped a beat. Bae Joo-hyun was just too alluring now. Liu Baiyuan even felt that she might be able to compete with Minatozaki Sana for the title of "Goddess of Fishing".

Sana Minatozaki: You stole this too? You didn't even think about whether I was scared when it thundered just now, you jerk!

Feeling the somewhat clumsy wiping of her own hair, Bae Joo-hyun suddenly said, "Bae Won, don't just wipe other women's hair like that in the future."

Why?

"Because only close people can do this."
