Peninsula: Superpowered Daily Life

Chapter 64 Friendly Coexistence

He gently pushed the door open, only to find it locked from the inside. Zhou Wenzhe smiled dismissively. Could this possibly stump him? Even if this weren't his house, he could easily get in.

I listened to the sounds inside the house again, and now there was no more noise; it was completely quiet.

It looks like Bae Joo-hyun has already fallen asleep.

Unlock and push the door open.

Zhou Wenzhe walked in quietly.

A bedside lamp was lit in the bedroom, its dim yellow light illuminating the figure lying on the bed.

Sleeping with the lights on, no wonder he's a notorious coward.

He had once heard Son Seungwan say that Bae Joo-hyun was extremely timid and afraid of everything, from loud noises to insect-shaped plush toys and all sorts of animals.

Zhou Wenzhe slowly walked to the bedside, gently sat down, and gazed at the beautiful woman curled up in a deep sleep.

To be honest, Bae Joo-hyun looks much more delicate like this, which easily arouses a man's protective instincts.

Bae Joo-hyun is a light sleeper, and perhaps sensing something, she slowly opened her eyes.

A dark shadow appeared before her, startling her so much that she screamed and quickly retreated, trembling all over.

"It's me," Zhou Wenzhe said.

"What...what are you doing here!" After Bae Joo-hyun recognized Zhou Wenzhe, she felt much more at ease, but another kind of unease quietly rose within her.

"I couldn't sleep, so I came to talk to you."

"I have nothing to talk to you about, get out!"

"Don't be so heartless. After all, we had a wonderful night together." Zhou Wenzhe shamelessly lay down, right where Pei Zhuxuan had just been lying.

He could still smell the faint scent of a woman on the sheets and blankets.

Bae Joo-hyun was furious at Zhou Wenzhe's shamelessness, but there was nothing she could do.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you." Zhou Wenzhe patted the side, gesturing for Pei Zhuxuan to lie down.

How could Bae Joo-hyun possibly believe him? That man had really tormented her that night.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Wenzhe grabbed her and pinned her down, staring at her menacingly from less than a centimeter away.

Looking at those delicate red lips, he had an urge to kiss them, but in the end he didn't do it.

After releasing Bae Joo-hyun, he lay back down in the same spot.

Bae Joo-hyun glanced at Zhou Wenzhe. At this moment, she somewhat believed his words, so she lay still without moving, but her whole body remained in a defensive posture to prevent him from plotting against her.

"Will the medicine I gave you work?"

"How much? I'll pay you."

"As long as it works."

Bae Joo-hyun rolled her eyes and asked the question that had been on her mind: "You really know how to treat illnesses?"

"I know a little bit. Actually, I also have a medicine that can make you grow taller. Would you like to try it?" Zhou Wenzhe looked at Bae Joo-hyun with a smile. Although her official height is 158 centimeters, according to his observation, the actual height is actually a little off.

"real?"

Although it sounds absurd, there are facts to back it up, so Bae Joo-hyun isn't completely disbelieving.

Height was something she was more eager to change than her figure, but she was too old and had long passed puberty, so growing taller was just a pipe dream.

"Well, this medicine needs to be taken long-term, and it can only make you grow 4 to 5 centimeters at most, so don't expect to become a model."

"How long should I take it?" Bae Joo-hyun was determined to try it first, regardless of whether it would work or not.

"About a year, after all, you're already 27 years old, and your growth plates have long since closed."

"Do you have to eat this every day?"

"No need for that. Just take it once every 2-3 days, preferably before going to bed at night."

"oh."

"Then I'll give it to you after I've prepared the medicine."

"Hmm, should we prepare some for Seungwan too?"

"Okay, she needs it too, but you two mustn't tell anyone about this. This medicine is very complicated to make, and it requires very precious medicinal materials."

Zhou Wenzhe wouldn't help just anyone. These system coins were earned at great personal risk, and he couldn't afford to waste them, in case they came in handy later.

"it is good."

"Is that all there is to it, just a 'good'?"

"So what else do you want?" Bae Joo-hyun wondered if Zhou Wenzhe would make any unreasonable demands. If he did, should she agree?

"At the very least, you should say thank you."

"Thank you... thank you."

Bae Joo-hyun said it with great difficulty; she never imagined that one day she would say thank you to him.

"You're welcome." Zhou Wenzhe reached out and pinched Bae Joo-hyun's cheek. He found it quite amusing to tease her like this.

She clearly hates me, yet she still says "thank you." She must be feeling incredibly conflicted and upset.

The intimacy level between the two increased by 2 points, reaching 37 points, and they are about to break through the 'hostile' level.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Bae Joo-hyun warily slapped Zhou Wenzhe's hand away and moved back a little.

This situation is a bit dangerous. What should I do if he really goes berserk?

"Hey, am I really that scary?"

"Don't think that just because we're in a relationship you can do whatever you want to me. Let me tell you, there won't be a second time, and don't expect me to agree to anything you want."

"Really? But you were just now... Didn't you want to?" Zhou Wenzhe stared at Bae Joo-hyun with an aggressive gaze.

"Huh? How did you know?" Bae Joo-hyun's heart tightened, feeling both embarrassed at being caught and fearful of the unknown.

Zhou Wenzhe is such a strange man; how does he know everything?

"I smelled a familiar scent when I came in, but I only suspected it at first, but now I'm sure of it." Zhou Wenzhe smiled slightly and winked at Pei Zhuxuan.

Upon hearing this, Bae Joo-hyun felt so ashamed that she wanted to disappear into the ground. She had been tricked so easily. When did she become so stupid?

"Haha, don't do this yourself next time. I'm actually happy to help."

"roll!"

Bae Joo-hyun, embarrassed and annoyed, raised her leg and kicked Zhou Wenzhe, but unfortunately, she was too weak and failed to kick him off the bed after several attempts. Instead, he grabbed her ankle.

"Let me go!"

Watching him play with her feet, Bae Joo-hyun blushed even more with shame. What she found most unbearable was that the impulse she had suppressed earlier had returned.

Just when she thought Zhou Wenzhe was going to take advantage of her, she didn't expect him to actually let go of her and get out of bed and walk towards the door.

???

They're leaving already?

Bae Joo-hyun was a little stunned; she didn't know whether she should be happy or frustrated.

Zhou Wenzhe walked to the door, then turned back and said, "Joohyun-ssi, I think we should get along amicably from now on. What do you think?"

After saying that, he opened the door and walked out without waiting for Bae Joo-hyun's reply.

To get along amicably?

Bae Joo-hyun looked at the closed door, thinking about what he had said.

Calm down and think about it carefully.

Indeed, given their complicated relationship and the presence of Son Seung-wan in the middle, it seems better for them to get along amicably.

If the two of them are always on the verge of conflict whenever they meet, it's highly suspicious.

However, he got carried away with his emotions and just left like that, which was incredibly irresponsible.
