The events of previous years are still vivid in her mind. Honestly, up till now, she still has a tiny bit of shadow regarding social media.

She lounged with her legs crossed, sinking into the sofa, exuding laziness all over.

It's 7 PM Paris time now, while in Korea it's...

3 AM.

At this time, Liu Xin'an was naturally fast asleep. So, she was just staring blankly at her chat window with Liu Xin'an where their conversation had ceased for three hours.

"Ah~"

Kang Seulgi picked up a piece of beef with her fork and affectionately brought it to Bae Juhyun's lips.

She didn't forget to make a sound like coaxing a child, using onomatopoeia to prompt Bae Juhyun to open her mouth.

This kind of playful interaction is normal between girls, so Bae Juhyun didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

She first habitually sniffed the steak's aroma, then cooperatively opened her mouth. Her pearly white teeth gently bit into the tender beef, her pink tongue rolled it into her mouth, chewing it.

The flavor was delightful, but Miss Bae couldn't help sighing.

"Not tasty?"

"She must be regretting that the one feeding her steak is you and not someone else."

Son Seungwan, with a bun hairstyle, gracefully cut the steak, then... directly stabbed the cut piece with a knife to bring it to her mouth.

Hearing her friend's jab, Kang Seulgi looked incredulous.

She sought the truth from Bae Juhyun.

"What Seungwan said isn't true, right, Juhyun?"

"You're listening to her nonsense!"

"When Juhyun lies, her eyes naturally dart around."

"Boohoo~" Kang Seulgi felt hurt, she spread her snow-white little hand in front of Bae Juhyun, "Give it back, spit it out!"

Bae Juhyun shot Son Seungwan a glare, then pretended she was really about to spit it out, scaring Kang Seulgi enough to make her panic and retract her hand.

Of course, teasing silly little Teddy is not solely the privilege of the younger sisters; Bae Juhyun, as an older sister, also enjoys teasing her silly younger sister.

So, upon realizing she'd been tricked by Bae Juhyun, Kang Seulgi felt even more aggrieved.

"Understandable, this is their first proper separation, right?"

"Seems like it, before they were separated in Seoul, which doesn't really count as being apart. Now, there's half a world between them, with an eight-hour time difference... It's normal to feel out of sorts."

Kim Yerin adopted a little adult posture, earnestly analyzing.

This time Park Sooyoung wasn't here, and Son Seungwan and Kang Seulgi couldn't control her at all, even the last one who liked restraining her, Bae Juhyun, was being quite tormented by her long-distance separation with Liu Xin'an.

She was basically liberated!

"Oh~ our maknae has grown up."

"Hehehe~"

The little adult ultimately was just a little adult, being praised by Son Seungwan made Kim Yerin instantly beam with joy.

Bae Juhyun also smiled heartily at her sisters' amusing interaction, reaching out to pinch Kang Seulgi's little hand, softly thanking her for feeding her earlier.

"Thanks, Seulgi."

"Hm."

Tsundere little Kang appeared.

Bae Juhyun reached out again to smooth Kang Seulgi's long hair, this time the tsundere little Kang went offline and the thrilled little Kang came online.

Who wouldn't like being doted on by an older sister~

Bae Juhyun placed her phone aside, fortunately, her members were with her; she would only get lost in thoughts when she was alone.

If she were lying alone in the hotel room at this moment, she would surely, surely miss Liu Xin'an terribly.

"More than being unaccustomed, it's truly feeling the distance now."

"I can't understand."

"Totally."

"I've never been in love, so I don't know~"

The responses from the three single sisters made Bae Juhyun sigh uncontrollably.

Indeed, what was she doing complaining to these three singles?

She might as well enjoy the delicious food!

So, Bae Juhyun set her sights on the half-filled glass of wine.

"Cheers! No more thinking about that lousy man Liu Xin'an!"

"Cheers~" X3

The sweet wine accompanied by clinking glasses flowed across her palate.

The enveloping grape aroma made Bae Juhyun's eyes light up.

This sweet and luscious taste really is intoxicating. Anyway, the European trip schedule is quite relaxed; they may as well enjoy this company-funded vacation.

However, in the heat of the moment, Miss Bae instantly forgot her poor drinking tolerance.

———

"Buzz~"

"Buzz~"

"Buzz~"

The vibrating phone sound made the sleepy Liu Xin'an groggily open his eyes.

Though his mind wasn't fully awake, he instinctively picked up his phone.

He squinted through one eye, and upon seeing the woman beaming like a flower on the phone screen, became significantly more alert.

This was the special caller photo he set for Bae Juhyun.

Video call?

Instinctively, he glanced at the time, then hurriedly answered the call.

In the next second, the smiling woman vanished, replaced by a stunning woman with disheveled hair and an exquisite face tinted with redness.

Her slightly dreamy eyes lit up with joy instantly upon seeing him appear.

Then, a sweet "darling" resonated in the room.

Liu Xin'an's breathing quickened a bit, fully awakening from his drowsiness.

He then showed a helpless yet doting smile, his voice hoarse: "How many glasses have you had?"

The cheeky person on video raised a finger that irresistibly beckoned a nibble, using her full-on nasal-tinged coquettish voice to act spoiled.
