69: Chapter 69 Village Girl Cui Xueli

Looking at Choi Sulli's tear-streaked face, Liu Zijun gently wiped away her tears and then took off his apron and threw it to Zhou Xiang.

"Now that my girlfriend is here, like hell I'm still chopping meat for you."

He said to the people around him, "Everyone, please don't post the photos you took online!"

This immediately caused a round of good-natured jeering.

After the commotion, Liu Zijun's mother, Lin Wanrou, and his grandmother, Chen Qing, each took one of Choi Sulli's hands and led her toward their home.

Their warmth made Choi Sulli's face flush, but her heart was filled with sweetness because they were Oppa's grandmother and mother—they were accepting her!

Although they needed Liu Zijun to translate, they could still manage some simple communication.

Old Wang and Old Li, the two monitors, didn't follow.

If they followed now, they'd probably get scolded!

Liu Jianguo stood with his hands behind his back, smiling as he watched the group ahead.

They wouldn't make it this year, but there seemed to be hope for a great-grandson next year.

Liu Qingmu suddenly said, "Choi Sulli! Original name Choi Jin-ri. According to The Peninsula's calculation, she's not yet an adult, and by our Huaxia standards, she's not even 20!"

"Liu Zijun! You brat, are you itching for a beating? Finding such a young girlfriend?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zijun was about to say something, while Choi Sulli, not understanding, just looked back and smiled foolishly.

Chen Qing snapped, "What do you know? I had just turned 20 when I gave birth to you. What's wrong with that?"

Lin Wanrou also scolded, "Shut your mouth if you don't understand! A girl as beautiful as Jin-ri being interested in your Liu Zijun—you should be laughing in secret!"

Liu Jianguo didn't speak; he just gave a snort, expressing his stance.

Liu Zijun chuckled. Seeing Choi Sulli's expression shift slightly, he smiled and told her, "Jin-ri! They like you. They're saying I'm not good enough for you!"

Choi Sulli took Liu Zijun's hand and suddenly said solemnly in stumbling Chinese, "Uncle! Auntie! I... I like Brother Ji-Jun very much. We... we will be good!"

Her phrasing was a bit odd, but everyone knew what she meant; the love and reliance in her eyes for Liu Zijun couldn't be faked.

Moreover, for a girl who had such difficulty communicating to travel all the way from The Peninsula to this small town showed just how serious she was.

This prompted Lin Wanrou to smack Liu Zijun twice, blaming him for not picking up Choi Sulli.

"Jin-ri! We can take our time with Chinese. If not, we can use English! Auntie will start learning the Korean language from now on!"

Hearing Liu Zijun's mother say this, Choi Sulli was on the verge of tears again.

In just this short time, she had already felt this auntie's favoritism toward her.

"Auntie! Thank you!"

She suddenly dove into Lin Wanrou's arms.

Arriving at Liu Zijun's home, Choi Sulli marveled at the ancient residence that looked like a traditional garden.

Liu Zijun couldn't go anywhere; he stayed by their side acting as a translator the whole time.

If he was too slow to translate, Lin Wanrou would scold him, which always made Choi Sulli giggle secretly.

When had she ever seen Liu Zijun like this?

After chatting for a while, Lin Wanrou and the others tactfully left to continue helping at Zhou Xiang's house, telling Liu Zijun to show Choi Sulli around his hometown home.

They went to Liu Zijun's room.

Gently closing the door, Choi Sulli suddenly hugged Liu Zijun, whispering about how much she had missed him.

Currently, f(x) was mainly in charge of Kira, so she only got approval after saying she wanted to take time off for a trip to Huaxia.

Liu Zijun thought to himself that if Kira—that is, Jiang Hongshao—hadn't agreed, he would definitely have hung her up and whipped her!

She didn't have many days off either; once she finished here, she had to fly to Europe to join the group for stage rehearsals and soundchecks.

Calculating the time, she would just be able to stay through the first day of the Huaxia Lunar New Year.

As they spoke, Choi Sulli pressed herself closer.

Her lips also pressed against Liu Zijun's.

Of course, Liu Zijun didn't actually do anything with her, and before long, they arrived at Zhou Xiang's house.

This made Choi Sulli a bit embarrassed.

Not only was she a bit afraid of rumors starting and affecting the other group members, but she was also shy under everyone's curious gazes.

Zhou Xiang's family was the last to slaughter their New Year pig.

Originally, Lin Wanrou had thought about buying a few pigs for their own family to slaughter for the festivities, but she was stopped by Liu Qingmu.

It wasn't that they didn't have the money; it was mainly because of Choi Sulli's status—it wouldn't be good to be too ostentatious.

Moreover, he could tell that Choi Sulli was a bit shy and wary of strangers, and he feared she would be embarrassed if there were too many people.

Hearing this, Lin Wanrou secretly blamed herself for being too excited to notice these things.

Sure enough, at Zhou Xiang's lunch table, everyone was sizing up Choi Sulli curiously.

The young people who knew of Choi Sulli began to educate the others, leading everyone to marvel that the Liu family boy had certainly done well for himself, actually finding a celebrity girlfriend.

There were requests for photos and signatures, but no one bothered them too much, nor did they think of posting the photos online.

The Liu family's word was law in the town, mainly because many townsfolk were indebted to them.

Tasting the authentic Huaxia farmhouse dishes, Choi Sulli praised everything except for the dishes that were too spicy for her.

She remained reliant on Liu Zijun, the smile never leaving her face.

After lunch, Liu Zijun took Choi Sulli to change her clothes.

Although Liu Zijun didn't think much of the outfit, Choi Sulli liked it very much.

Instantly, the radiant urban superstar turned into a silly village belle.

Liu Zijun took her for a stroll through the fields on the edge of town and through the mountain forests.

Looking at Choi Sulli, who didn't have great stamina but was full of curiosity, Liu Zijun felt that his somewhat selfish choices weren't so important anymore.

In the future, once the superiors decided on a result, he would stay by this girl's side just like this.

Without others around and free from constraints, Choi Sulli more or less completely let herself go in this small town.

Whenever she wanted, she would kiss Liu Zijun, especially wanting to finish what she hadn't finished earlier.

Though Liu Zijun knew what she was thinking, he still restrained himself.

Liu Zijun finished showing her around the town. As they watched children playing with firecrackers at the town entrance, Choi Sulli's face was constantly adorned with a smile.

When they returned home, Chen Qing and Lin Wanrou were already busy preparing dinner.

Although Zhou Xiang politely invited Liu Zijun and the others to return to his house for dinner, he also knew that with Choi Sulli's arrival, they would likely want to eat at their own home.

"Oppa! I suddenly feel so happy. I really want to live here with you forever."

After dinner, sitting on the bed in Liu Zijun's room, Choi Sulli leaned into his embrace and spoke affectionately.

"Jin-ri! Don't worry, I'll accompany you back to The Peninsula. Although I don't know the specific timing yet, I imagine it will be soon."

"After we go back, I'll go to your home with you."

Choi Sulli's whole body stiffened, and she lowered her head without a word.

Was that home still a home?
