PDLP Chapter 53 Adult Freedom
Chapter 53 Adult Freedom
In modern society, children tend to mature very early.
Back around 2010, girls from ordinary backgrounds like Bae Suzy knew to work part-time as online models to supplement their family income.
Children these days should be more precocious.
But this girl named Zheng Yaxian has an almost obsessive possessiveness towards her oppa.
Keep in mind that Bae Suzy hadn't even gotten serious yet, and she was already adopting this hostile stance.
If Soo-ji gets serious, wouldn't Ya-hyun's jealousy jar explode?
Problems should be addressed as soon as possible. Ya Xian is, after all, his sister, and if she objects, it will cause a lot of trouble.
This is the purpose of Bae Suzy's trip.
She wasn't sure how far her relationship with Jung Do-hoon would develop, but it was always good to clear away obstacles before that happened.
Before setting off, Bae Suzy specially changed into her most simple outfit—
Wearing a white T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers, with her hair tied in two braids and a baseball cap, she went out.
It was already 9:30 p.m. when she walked downstairs to Jung Do-hoon's apartment building carrying the kimchi jar.
When Zheng Daoxun opened the door, there was a hint of worry in his eyes: "I'll come to get it from you sometime..."
He took the kimchi jar and was about to close the door when Soo-ji reached out to stop him:
"Hey? You've already been to my house, so you won't let me come over for a visit?"
Bae Suzy raised her eyebrows slightly, stood on tiptoe, and peered over his shoulder into the living room—
The girl named Zheng Yaxian was wrapped in a blanket, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, watching TV absentmindedly.
Knowing that Bae Suzy was here, why did he still put on such a cold attitude? It's quite different from how he was yelling at her on the phone to come over immediately.
Is she deliberately putting on this aloof act because she's afraid of revealing her weakness?
As someone who has been through it all, Bae Suzy understands best what it's like to be a teenage girl.
Bae Suzy glanced at the slippers on the shoe rack, and slightly raised the corners of her mouth, saying:
"Aren't you going to get my slippers for me?"
Jung Do-hoon bent down and placed the slippers beside Soo-ji's feet when he heard Soo-ji remark:
"Dohoon-ssi, there's no need to be so polite, I can do it myself."
She gently patted Zheng Daoxun's shoulder, and they squatted down together affectionately, their faces touching.
Her words seemed to be addressed to Ya Xian.
In a corner where Zheng Daoxun couldn't see, the girl glared at the entrance, feeling inexplicably annoyed.
A mischievous glint flashed in Suzy's eyes, and she whispered almost into his ear:
Why do you look so worried? Don't you trust me?
Jung Do-hoon felt that Ya-hsien was originally the most popular member of the group, but now that she has injured her foot, she can only stay at home alone to recover. The huge gap could easily distort the mentality of a girl of this age.
Ya Xian's heavy dependence on him is also like this. Now, besides him, who else in the world would revolve around Ya Xian?
So, any woman who might distract Jung Do-hoon would be unconsciously met with hostility from Ya-hsien, right?
The Fang sisters were like this, as was Minatozaki Sana, and if Huang Lizhi hadn't taken care of Ya-Hsien for several days in a row, she probably would have been the same.
But the current situation is exactly this: Ya-Hsien's dissatisfaction and grievances have nowhere to be vented, and Bae Soo-Ji is happy to add fuel to the fire.
"Don't do anything reckless," Zheng Daoxun sighed softly, "and don't bother with a child."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Bae Suzy changed into slippers, put her hands behind her back, and strolled into the living room, looking around the apartment.
Although the furnishings were simple, it was clear that the house had been carefully cleaned. At least Jung Do-hoon wasn't lazy; he knew how to do some housework.
"What kind of flower is this?" Bae Suzy bent down slightly and sniffed the vase by the door. "It smells quite nice."
Those were sky-blue hydrangeas that Zheng Daoxun bought on his way home that morning; having them at home would lift his spirits.
To be precise, it was to make Ya-Hsien feel better.
Hydrangea.
"Could you buy me a bouquet next time?"
Jung Do-hoon rolled his eyes at her, signaling Bae Soo-ji not to cause trouble.
Now is not the time for flirting.
There's a powder keg sitting on the sofa, ready to explode at any moment.
Bae Suzy smiled with narrowed eyes, looked at the girl with a cold face, snorted softly, and took the initiative to sit down next to her.
She admired Ya Xian's little gesture of curling up and completely covering herself with the blanket:
"Ya-Hsien, I'm your Do-Hoon oppa's good friend. You can just call me Soo-Ji unnie."
A thousand-year-old fox...
Zheng Yaxian pouted: "Hello... Oppa, don't forget to spray me with medicine."
"Okay, I'll be right over after I've made the tea," Zheng Daoxun replied, about to open a packet of white tea—
"Dohoon, if I can't sleep at night, I'll have to come and bother you. Who drinks tea so late at night, huh?" Bae Soo-ji placed her hands on her long, straight legs and gently bit her lip.
"What would you like to drink?" Jung Do-hoon opened the refrigerator, glancing around inside. "Juice..."
"Isn't there beer?" Bae Suzy's eyes were sharp. "Can I have a can of your beer?"
There's nothing inherently wrong with it, but it's a very strange request.
Who would drink beer the first time they visit someone's home?
Jung Do-hoon poured the beer into his special glass and placed it in front of her: "How's your alcohol tolerance?"
As soon as he asked the question, he noticed Ya Xian giving him a furtive look.
Those who drank until they didn't go home last night seem to have no right to ask this question.
He gave Ya Xian a helpless, wry smile.
"I'm already twenty-nine years old, how could I be so drunk after just one drink?" Xiuzhi paused on the age, glancing at Yaxian almost imperceptibly.
"Oppa, hurry up and get the medicine..." Ya-hsien urged sullenly, ignoring Bae Soo-ji.
So what if she's an adult? Zheng Yaxian even thinks she's too old.
To put it bluntly, it's like an old cow eating young grass. Is it really meaningful to openly or subtly criticize her for being naive?
"Take your time looking, give Ya-Hsien and me some time alone~" Soo-ji called out to Jung Do-hoon's retreating figure.
While Jung Do-hoon went inside to get his medicine, Bae Soo-ji put down her beer glass and clicked her tongue softly.
"That's the good thing about being an adult. As long as it's not illegal or disorderly, you can do it without any worries, just like drinking."
Is Bae Suzy's subtext... that she feels Ya-hyun is restricting Jung Do-hoon's freedom? Ya-hyun was already prepared to confront Bae Suzy.
Dealing with this kind of cunning fox is pointless; going in circles is useless, and resorting to tricks will only lead to trouble.
From the beginning, Ya-Hsien asked Bae Soo-Ji to come tonight because she wanted to keep her from Jung Do-Hoon while she was still fuming.
This anger came from the Fang sisters, Sana Minatozaki, and even Hwang Yeji, as well as Bae Suzy's.
Even if Jung Do-hoon spent a whole day with her, it could only barely alleviate Ya-hsien's urgent dependence on him, but it didn't mean that her anger would disappear.
Bae Suzy was the one who just happened to be in the line of fire.
Ya Xian glanced at her room; Zheng Daoxun hadn't come out yet, so she said in a low voice:
Some people drink for social occasions, some drink to relieve stress, and some drink to engage in promiscuous behavior... Which one are you?
