Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?

Until Liu Xin'an popped up again, her originally tense expression finally eased quite a bit.

She still tightly grasped the handrail and then moved to the side of the boat, curiously watching her boyfriend.

"How is it?"

Liu Xin'an remained silent, then casually tossed something dark onto the boat, which startled Bae Juhyun.

She let out a scream and instinctively stepped back, but when she saw clearly what Liu Xin'an had tossed up, her displeasure instantly disappeared.

"Oh! Abalone!"

"There's more."

Next came a dark sea cucumber thrown onto the boat.

Bae Juhyun glanced at it and then showed a disdainful expression.

"Didn't you catch any lobsters or anything?"

"Of course not, those are hard to catch."

Liu Xin'an supported himself with both hands on the side of the boat and jumped up from the water with a bit of effort.

He took off the mask from his face, then smiled at the unfamiliar couple staring at him without stopping and politely said "Hello."

"Hello hello, I didn't expect to meet Irene and Mr. Liu Xin'an here..."

The girl was full of excitement, but the guy next to her wasn't as thrilled.

"We're just here for a holiday, please keep it a secret for us."

"Okay, okay."

After a brief chat with the fans, Liu Xin'an looked at Bae Juhyun, who was squatting beside him poking at the sea cucumber with a small stick, feeling a bit speechless: "Stop poking it."

"I thought you would catch lobsters and crabs."

"I saw an octopus, but couldn't catch it."

"Such a pity."

"Being able to catch something is already impressive, I'm still contemplating whether I should regret not daring to go into the water..." suddenly Bae Jinhee chimed in, even though it was shallow water, and not as dark as traditional deep-sea under the sunlight, the sense of fear wouldn't diminish because of it.

"It's pretty interesting, Jinhee, can you swim?"

"I can swim..."

"You should try, it'd really be a shame if you don't."

Even though these words were meant for Bae Jinhee, Liu Xin'an kept glancing at his girlfriend while speaking.

Bae Juhyun, of course, could tell there was more to Liu Xin'an's words, she switched targets with the stick originally poking the sea cucumber and poked her boyfriend's chest with displeasure.

Since Liu Zhengjiang and Park Jinsuk had already gone into the water, she was rather bold at the moment.

"Are you secretly mocking me?"

"Not at all, I'm having a chat with Jinhee." Liu Xin'an spread his hands, cheerfully and not angry at all.

Bae Juhyun gave him a disgruntled glare but decided not to continue speaking.

She decided to give her boyfriend some face while outside.

――――

"Hm? Taekyon oppa called me."

After wrapping up the sea woman experience trip, the whole family officially headed back home.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Bae Juhyun pulled out her phone, looked at it, and suddenly said in confusion.

And Liu Xin'an, who was driving, also glanced at her.

"What's up?"

"...It's unusual for Taekyon oppa to contact me during a holiday."

Bae Juhyun held her phone, murmuring, and hesitated biting her lip: "Should I call back?"

"Go ahead, maybe it's something important?"

"It's definitely something important, not maybe important."

Being very familiar with her manager, Bae Juhyun sighed and then conveniently dialed back.

Very soon, the call connected, and Seong Taekyon's voice sounded from the other end.

"Irene, you're on Jeju Island, right?"

"Yes, I hope there's no work assignment for me, or I'll seriously call the police, Taekyon oppa."

Bae Juhyun answered before Seong Taekyon spoke.

Seong Taekyon didn't care about that.

"Seulgi has a schedule flying to Jeju Island tomorrow, you both can participate together."

"...I'm on holiday!"

"It's not a particularly troublesome schedule, just attending a small event. Originally, Yerin and Seulgi were going together, but Yerin got sick, so we had to ask you."

Seong Taekyon's reply stunned Bae Juhyun, then she furrowed her brows tightly.

"What? Yerin is sick?"

"It's quite a bad cold. The weather's been pretty bad in Seoul recently, and she wasn't careful and got ill... She even told me not to inform you."

Kim Yerin really didn't dare let Bae Juhyun know about her getting sick because, from her understanding, if Bae Juhyun knew she fell ill due to not being mindful of the weather changes, she would definitely scold her.

"Ha, this kiddo, I got it, send me the schedule, I'll meet Seulgi later."

"Alright."

The brief call ended, although Bae Juhyun hadn't turned on the speaker, Liu Xin'an couldn't completely hear her interaction with Seong Taekyon, but from Bae Juhyun's annoyed tone, it wasn't hard to guess that his girlfriend had been assigned work again.

"What's going on, is there a schedule?"

"Yes, there's a last-minute task."

"Need to go back to Seoul?"

"No, Seulgi will also come to Jeju Island tomorrow, and then we'll attend an event together, seems like a commercial performance. It's settled for two members, but something unexpected happened with Yerin."

Bae Juhyun softly explained the situation to Liu Xin'an.

"Unexpected?"

"Seems like she's caught a cold."

"Ah... the weather's pretty bad in Seoul, some people on my WeChat were even talking about it."

"Your friend studying here, the pretty female content creator?"

Bae Juhyun remembered the name she first heard from Liu Xin'an when they got acquainted.

Moreover, this girl named Snow Cat seemed to have sent Liu Xin'an messages gossiping about him and her affair a few days ago, which she happened to see!
