Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?

"Doing things behind your back that I can't tell you." Son Seungwan grinned, with a manner that made Liu Xin'an roll his eyes and caused Bae Juhyun to burst into laughter.

But Son Seungwan wasn't wrong, the things they're discussing now are indeed things they can't tell Bae Juhyun.

Bae Juhyun wasn't too concerned — if it were another woman alone with her boyfriend, she might get nervous, but with her own sisters, she doesn't worry at all.

Besides, she could tell at a glance that the two were high-fiving, not holding hands.

"What are you planning behind my back?"

"Well, you'd have to ask him." Son Seungwan shrugged irresponsibly, pushing the trouble over to Liu Xin'an.

This righteous backstab left Liu Xin'an with his mouth wide open, but Son Seungwan did it knowing full well that Bae Juhyun would definitely guess what they were discussing.

Because... it's not just Liu Xin'an who's troubled by the matter.

"Is it about the first-year anniversary?"

"Uh..." Liu Xin'an was quite surprised.

"I guessed as much. Hey, for our one-year anniversary, just a simple meal together will do, don't prepare any surprises for me, understand?"

Bae Juhyun gave her boyfriend a look, the experiences from the last two times have made it clear to her that he will rack his brains to prepare for this occasion.

Similarly, since her boyfriend is putting in such an effort, as a girlfriend, she cannot be left behind by Liu Xin'an in this regard.

But there lies the problem.

Due to work reasons, she simply doesn't have the time to think about these things. Similarly, Liu Xin'an's work isn't any less demanding than hers. Don't think that since Liu Xin'an only streams for seven or eight hours a day he gets to rest. To maintain lasting popularity, even as a gaming streamer, he has to spend a lot of time preparing games and show effects outside of streaming...

Under these circumstances, there's really no need to be distracted with those unnecessary surprises.

It's not like they're a newly dating couple, it's been a year!

So... it's definitely not because she doesn't know what to give, so she chose to slack off with Liu Xin'an!

"But I want to give you something." Liu Xin'an was amused by Bae Juhyun's words and showed his big, white teeth as he expressed his feelings.

"Ugh..." Bae Juhyun let out a long sigh.

And Kang Seulgi, who had followed her in, sat down beside Son Seungwan, resting her chin in her hand as she amusingly commented, "Isn't this called malignant competition?"

Son Seungwan even took on her serious demeanor from her radio show, looking at the couple as if she were giving advice to her audience, "Everyone, see? This is the consequence of malignant competition. Clearly, our Miss Bae Juhyun wants to slack off without preparing gifts, but Mr. Liu Xin'an's attitude makes it unavoidable for her!"

The radio show ended with a chop to the head from Bae Juhyun.

Son Seungwan pitifully rubbed her head where Bae Juhyun hit her but wasn't angry.

"Juhyun is right, constantly thinking about what big surprise or gift to prepare places too much burden on her."

Liu Xin'an pointed at himself, looking quite innocent, "I never thought about getting anything in return."

"See, it's this kind of attitude that makes... okay, I'll shut up, don't glare at me." Son Seungwan kept talking, but Bae Juhyun's piercing gaze made her voice grow quieter and quieter until the life-preserving Son Seungwan decided to sew her mouth shut.

"Does it burden you a lot?"

Liu Xin'an looked at his girlfriend and asked in a small voice.

His lack of confidence made the previously glaring Bae Juhyun quickly look up in a fluster, her beautiful eyes showing panic as she waved her hands.

The burden... is actually quite heavy.

How to put it, at heart, she isn't someone who understands romance.

Her way of expressing love is more direct, and she's not very good at creating romantic scenarios.

In this regard, Liu Xin'an is much more knowledgeable than her.

Ever since he realized he wasn't giving Bae Juhyun enough surprises quite a while ago, Liu Xin'an has often prepared some little surprises for Bae Juhyun from time to time.

Like suddenly showing up to meet her unannounced today, or the time he got invited by the consulate before...

Does she enjoy surprises? There's no doubt, no one in this world would refuse surprises.

But the issue lies within the surprises. Bae Juhyun feels like the love Liu Xin'an gives her is perhaps... a little too much.

It's not that she's ungrateful, or being pretentious, but she's been independent for so long that she doesn't like owing people anything.

The love Liu Xin'an gives her, she wants to return it in the same way, so that he knows his efforts are appreciated.

But she seems to struggle to find a way to reciprocate to her boyfriend.

Meanwhile, Liu Xin'an continues preparing more and more surprises without pause.

Layer upon layer, Bae Juhyun feels a bit smothered.

Why does she wish to involve Liu Xin'an in more shows? The reason lies here too.

She really doesn't know how to repay Liu Xin'an, so since Liu Xin'an enjoys being admired by her fans, she'll try to involve him more in front of her fans!

It's kind of twisted.

"No! Absolutely no burden at all." Bae Juhyun lied with her eyes wide open, how could she show any resistance to Liu Xin'an's good intentions at that moment?

Liu Xin'an isn't stupid either, and he can sense Bae Juhyun's unease, especially since Son Seungwan's timely teasing just now...
