Chapter 151 You Want to Break Up

"Oppa~"

Shin Yuna yawned as she entered the living room, intending to wake Choi Si-an: "Get up—huh?"

She looked closely, but Cui Shi'an was nowhere to be seen on the sofa.

The blankets were folded neatly, and even the table was spotless.

"Did you leave without even saying goodbye?"

The girl looked at the empty living room and felt a slight sense of loss.

She plopped down in the spot where Cui Shi'an had slept the night before, and out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the table and spotted the note Cui Shi'an had left behind.

"Tch—what rest? Don't you know I'm going to the practice room today?"

The girl muttered to herself, stretched her slender arms back, and pulled up the huge carrot behind the sofa headrest to hug it to her chest. Her pair of fair and slender legs also habitually wrapped around it.

She picked up her phone to message Cui Shi'an, but suddenly remembered something, abandoned the carrot, and ran barefoot to the bathroom to take a look.

When he returned, a mischievous smile was already playing at the corners of his eyes.

So, Cui Shi'an received this message.

[Did Oppa go out without underwear this morning?]

Cui Shi'an, who had just arrived at the dormitory, almost choked on his own saliva. How did she know?

Then, he received a picture on his phone, showing his boxer shorts neatly laid out on the sofa by Shen Youna.

Cui: [Uh—did you wash it for me? I thought you were lost—]

[Haha, Oppa Pabu, didn't you even ask me?]

Cui: [How should I know—you were sleeping again—]

【(◇Like<) Oh dear~ I'll put it away for you first, remember to come and wear it next time~】

After sending the message, Shin Yuna's face immediately turned red and hot. She was clearly teasing Choi Si-an, and there was no one else at home, but in the end, she was the one who buried her face in the sofa and felt shy.

Hmm? Something feels off about the sofa.

Could it be—

Shin Yuna secretly opened her eyes a crack, and the next second, her body sprang up as if startled!

Because she then realized that her face had been buried right in those boxer shorts!

On the other side, as soon as Cui Shi'an opened the dormitory door, Tian Ming, with his messy hair, exclaimed, "Yo! You've finally returned from your travels? You've been gone for two whole days and nights! Tell me honestly, where did you go having a good time? Was it—hmm?"

He winked and gave a knowing look.

Cui Shi'an pretended not to see it and casually hung up his coat: "Don't get the wrong idea, I have some personal matters to take care of these past two days."

"Tch~ Who would believe that!" Tian Ming immediately put on a "don't try to fool me" look, leaned over and nudged him with his elbow, lowered his voice and chuckled, "Got out for some alone time with your girlfriend, right? Don't worry, brothers know what I mean! You're a man! I've already got the professor on leave for you, pretty good, right?"

Cui Shi'an smiled, which saved him a lot of trouble, so he patted his roommate on the shoulder affectionately: "Okay, thanks then, I'll treat you to a good meal later."

"Hey, we're best buddies!" Tian Ming waved his hand dismissively, grabbed his textbook from the table, and rushed towards the door. "Then you better take good care of yourself! Don't come to the classroom! Don't!"

Cui Shi'an had just taken out his textbook, ready to follow, when he heard this and stopped in his tracks: "Why? I've finished my business!"

Tian Ming slammed on the brakes at the door, turned around, and gave me a horrified look that seemed to say, "Are you really that clueless?" He exclaimed, "Dude! I gave you sick leave! The kind where you have a bad cold and fever and are bedridden! What am I supposed to do if you show up in class now, all energetic and refreshed?"

"————" Cui Shi'an was speechless.

Tian Ming chuckled: "But as your senior, I still have to remind you that even if you're tasting the forbidden fruit for the first time, you must know how to exercise restraint~ Otherwise, you'll only become a woman's slave~"

"Hahaha~ Get lost." Cui Shi'an rolled his eyes. "You're clearly a womanizer yourself, yet you have the nerve to criticize me!"

"Haha, I'm off! Remember you owe me a meal!"

With Tian Ming gone, the dormitory returned to silence.

Cui Shi'an walked to the window and looked at the students rushing to their classrooms on campus below. Since he didn't have to attend class, he simply took out his phone and called Zhuzhushe.

The phone rang a few times before being answered. The background noise was a bit loud, and you could vaguely hear music and voices.

"What's wrong?" Liu Zhimin's voice came through, slightly out of breath from practicing, but her tone immediately brightened. "Why are you calling me at this hour? Missing me?"

The last sentence, "Miss me?", carried a hint of pride and intimacy.

"Yes." Cui Shi'an did not deny it and answered readily.

A soft laugh came from the other end of the phone, then Liu Zhimin lowered his voice, as if he had moved to a quieter corner: "You really miss me? Then why haven't you called me these past two days, and you've only replied to one or two messages? I thought someone had forgotten about me~"

Cui Shi'an paused for a moment, then offered a seemingly reasonable excuse: "I've been busy these past few days dealing with some things with Duoling, so I haven't had much time to check my phone."

"Did you go do that again?" Liu Zhimin's voice immediately became tense. "Are you alright? Why didn't you call me? I could have helped!"

Cui Shi'an felt a warmth in his heart after hearing this. This woman always subconsciously wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with him, no matter what they faced.

"You're not injured, everything's been taken care of. Besides, you've been practicing so late every day for the new album, you've already worked so hard. How could I let you be distracted by these things? Don't worry, I can handle it myself now. You can focus on your career and be the radiant Karina from now on."

These words were meant to be considerate, but to Liu Zhimin, who was feeling somewhat guilty because of his busy schedule, they carried a different meaning.

She paused for a few seconds, then spoke again, her voice filled with caution and consideration: "You—do you feel like I've been neglecting you lately because of the new album? Mia—I know I haven't been spending as much time with you lately, but I'll definitely make it up to you once this busy period is over."

Her voice softened: "I'll apply for leave from the company then, and you can go wherever you want, okay?"

Cui Shi'an held her phone, feeling a warm and tender warmth in her heart, as if it had been soaked in lukewarm water. At the same time, she felt a little guilty, not expecting that her casual remark would make her think so much.

"Ani," he quickly explained, his voice surprisingly gentle, "I'm not angry, really. Your career is going well, you're shining on stage, I'm just happy for you. It's just—"

He paused, then said carefully, "If it's possible, could we meet today? It won't take long, just a few minutes."

"A few minutes?" Liu Zhimin's attention was drawn back, his confusion deepening. "Just for a few minutes? Are you trying to say something special to me?"

"Yes, there's something I want to tell you."

After hearing this, she felt a strange unease and hesitated, saying, "Then... we can say it over the phone, right?"

Cui Shi'an smiled helplessly, but his tone was more insistent: "I think some things are better said face to face."

"Huh?" Liu Zhimin's hand gripping the phone tightened instantly, and his heart started racing for no reason. The worst possible guess uncontrollably appeared in his mind.

Almost without thinking, she tentatively blurted out, "You—you're not thinking of—breaking up with me, are you?"

The voice wasn't loud, but it was still clearly audible in the relatively quiet corner of the practice room.

Almost simultaneously, several gazes, like searchlights, focused on us from different directions.

Ningning, who was stretching her legs, froze in place.

Gisele, holding her water glass, stared wide-eyed.

Kim Dong-won, who was adjusting her hair in front of the mirror, suddenly turned her head!

The three of them were all uniformly filled with shock!

What's going on here?

Did Jimin unnie get dumped?

When Cui Shi'an heard his girlfriend's words, he was both amused and exasperated, and sighed, "What are you thinking?! How could I—I just wanted to see you and pick up something."

Upon hearing that it wasn't a breakup, Liu Zhimin felt a sense of relief, but curiosity took over again. Ignoring the intense gazes of her teammates, she walked to the side and whispered, "What is it?"

"Arrowheads," Cui Shi'an said directly, "Lend me your arrowheads for a moment."

Liu Zhimin's nerves immediately tensed up again. "What do you need that for? Have you run into some trouble again? I'll go with you!"

Hearing her tense yet decisive tone, Cui Shi'an's helplessness turned into a soft smile, and he couldn't help but tease her, "Aigoo, I really did find a suspicious and worrisome girlfriend~"

"Who, who told you not to explain clearly!" Liu Zhimin's cheeks flushed slightly at his words, but he still retorted in a low voice, unwilling to admit defeat.

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault." Cui Shi'an readily admitted his mistake, his tone full of doting and indulgence: "Aigoo, oh do? I think I want to see you even more now, how about... I stay at your dorm tonight?"

"Tch." Because of this sentence, Liu Zhimin's tension and suspicion just now completely disappeared, leaving only the sweetness of being missed and a little bit of smugness: "So, in the end, you just wanted to see me, huh? Going through all this trouble—oh my god, I can't stand you. I'll call you after I finish my practice here."

"Okay." Cui Shi'an didn't explain further. "See you later."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Zhimin turned around and met three pairs of eyes that were sparkling with gossip.

Kim Dong-won was the first to approach, cautiously asking, "Unnie—did you get dumped?"

Ningning said with a serious face, "Unnie, should we go and teach my brother-in-law a lesson? We'll make sure he deeply understands his mistake!"

Giselle remained relatively calm, but her eyes were full of concern: "Jimin, are you alright?"

Looking at her noisy but caring teammates, Liu Zhimin felt the last lingering gloom from the little incident on the phone dissipate. She straightened her impressive figure and said, "Can you say something reasonable? I'm Karina, how could he bear to break up with me?"

"Tch~" The three of them booed at the same time.

Kim Dong-won couldn't stand her smug look, so she deliberately scared her, saying, "Unnie, don't be careless, your brother-in-law might be secretly hanging out with Shin Yuna behind your back these past few days~"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the other three people in the practice room changed slightly.

Because it's not impossible.

After all, the memory of Choi Si-an carrying Shin Yoo-na to the dormitory that day was still fresh in everyone's mind.

Liu Zhimin's eyelids twitched: "Don't talk nonsense, they're just friends."

Although she was putting on a brave face, she was already secretly considering whether to call her best friend Liu Zhen to find out what Shen You Na had been up to these past few days.
