Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?

"Why Seulgi?"

Today, Bae Juhyun came alone, so everyone was quite intrigued by Kang Seulgi popping up at this time.

"Ah... it's a rather long story, isn't it a bit unsuitable to talk about it here?"

If you really want to elaborate on how Kang Seulgi helped with their relationship, it really is a very, very, very long story, so Bae Juhyun was a bit hesitant about whether to share it here.

She intended to ask Liu Xin'an's opinion.

But the MCs waiting eagerly to hear the gossip wouldn't have it.

"It's suitable! Very suitable!"

"You must tell us, and if you can't finish it today, you won't be allowed to leave."

"Choi PD, lock the door. Until these two finish talking, no one's leaving!"

Come on, who wouldn't want to hear such big gossip?

"But this part might take a lot of time..."

"No worries, they'll edit it. Even if it's all cut, it's fine, as long as we know."

Kim Heechul's response was full of points to critique, but oddly, Kang Hodong and the others, who usually loved to gripe, remained silent.

They just kept staring at Liu Xin'an and Bae Juhyun at the table, with a hint of green glimmering in their eyes.

There was no choice. Bae Juhyun, cornered, looked again at her boyfriend.

She said it was fine with her, but she wasn't sure if Liu Xin'an was willing to talk about their relationship process like this.

And Liu Xin'an, keenly sensing Bae Juhyun's thought, gave a hearty laugh, nodded, and answered his girlfriend with action.

This time Bae Juhyun had no more worries and began to speak slowly.

"Xin'an didn't know my celebrity identity, so maybe I behaved more... freely in front of him?"

"Ah~ I get it. If Xin'an were your fan, you might feel awkward, right?"

Bae Juhyun waved her hand: "That's not what I mean. It's just very simply being more relaxed. Xin'an had no idea 'Irene' existed, he only knew me as 'Bae Juhyun,' so for me, being active in front of someone as 'Bae Juhyun' was quite a novel experience."

"So even now, Xin'an always calls me by my name. To him, 'Bae Juhyun' is closer than 'Irene.'

Bae Juhyun thought for a moment and explained her relationship with Liu Xin'an in this awkward way.

Everyone was silent for a few seconds, and finally, they all looked at Liu Xin'an in unison.

Liu Xin'an was a bit stunned, then, vaguely sensing everyone's confusion, decided to softly explain: "Because I didn't know her real identity, she could interact with me in a completely different way, which made her feel very at ease."

This time, Kim Heechul and the others understood.

"Yeah, let Xin'an explain. You made it too complicated, we were all confused."

"There's a difference in education, huh? What school did Xin'an graduate from?"

"Me? I'm from Tianjin University."

"Oh~ that's quite a prestigious school, right?"

"Hmm... In our country, it ranks around the top twenty?" When Liu Xin'an was in university, Tianjin University was roughly around the fifteenth place, but now... Liu Xin'an wasn't too sure.

But clearly, that's not the main point here.

"What happened next, what happened next?"

Bae Juhyun quickly spoke before Liu Xin'an could, feeling more at ease handling such matters. Although Xin'an was indeed strong-hearted, the fear was that he might accidentally disclose too much unnecessary information, which could be troublesome later.

So Bae Juhyun definitely couldn't let Liu Xin'an say much.

"Precisely because of this, I didn't really want Xin'an to know my identity."

"That must be difficult, right? It's hard not to know about Red Velvet in our country."

Several MCs exchanged glances, and Min Kyunghoon, sitting behind Kim Heechul, pondered out loud.

Though everyone clearly understood the awkward position Bae Juhyun was in precisely around this time last year, such things surely weren't to be delved into deeply on the show.

Moreover, it was during that period that Bae Juhyun's public opinion incident was at its peak, and during that time, it would be very challenging for Liu Xin'an not to discover her identity.

After all, you could see the straightforward news reports just by turning on the TV.

"It's very difficult, but that's for us." Bae Juhyun nodded with a smile, pointing at herself and then at everyone. Then, she lightly punched Liu Xin'an's arm with her small fist, "For Xin'an, it's very easy, because he doesn't watch TV at all, nor does he go out."

"Eh?"

Seeing the surprised expressions of the MCs, Liu Xin'an gave an awkward smile.

"My job is as a streamer, and since it's a formal profession, I have to stream for a fixed duration every day."

"How long do you stream each day?"

"On average, about 7 hours a day."

"Wow..."

Even professional entertainers couldn't help but express their shock at the length of time required for this work.

Streaming was something they all had experienced to some extent, but streaming continuously for seven hours...

Fortunately, some had done similar work before.

Kim Heechul began explaining for Liu Xin'an: "Game streaming is different from when we do live shows, but this duration is certainly tiring. Do you have to do it every day?"

"Hmm... because it's a monthly total, as long as I complete the required hours for the month, I can even take a few days off at the end of the month. However... I personally really enjoy playing games, so long hours of streaming games aren't too burdensome for me."
