Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?

Yesterday at the MBC Gayo Daejejeon, his surprise appearance naturally sparked quite a bit of discussion.

Sitting cross-legged on the couch and scrolling through her phone, Bae Juhyun looked amazed.

"Everyone seemed to really like your appearance yesterday. I saw a lot of comments saying they hope you show up more often because you're so handsome."

Liu Xin'an is not in the entertainment industry. Although he and Bae Juhyun are similar in nature, fundamentally, they are on two entirely different tracks, so there aren't many fans opposed to them being together.

In fact, their striking appearances have even won over many passersby.

In today's increasingly popular dating shows market, rather than watching amateurs on dating shows going through all kinds of drama, isn't it more fun to see a big star dating someone outside the industry sweetly?

Oh, one thing to be clear, exposing a relationship is definitely something that would cause Bae Juhyun to lose quite a few fans.

But... the fans she loses are much fewer compared to the new fans who are drawn in.

Not to mention, since she started dating Liu Xin'an, quite a few fans from China have directly fallen for her.

She's beautiful, she's a Chinese daughter-in-law, and such an excellent artist, who wouldn't like her?

Moreover, there's a very important point that, because they're not in the same industry, the problems some celebrity couples face never appear with Bae Juhyun and Liu Xin'an.

They can't even be said to be riding each other's fame, so a fan rivalry situation doesn't arise.

Besides... Liu Xin'an's fans are actually hoping that he and Bae Juhyun will continue to get along well.

You know, Bae Juhyun has a considerable female fan base, and when it comes to liking pretty girls, girls tend to be more proactive than boys.

Upon finding out that Bae Juhyun and Liu Xin'an became a couple, these female fans, who initially wanted to stir things up, actively researched information about Liu Xin'an.

And then... they fell for him too.

With Bae being so popular, a similarly excellent, scandal-free, highly intelligent and emotionally intelligent male streamer who is also dedicated naturally becomes likable.

This is how the domestic public opinion shifted.

As for Korea... it's even more straightforward.

People who dislike Bae Juhyun won't change their minds just because she's dating a Chinese man.

But for those who are indifferent or slightly fond of Bae Juhyun, her relationship with Liu Xin'an has made a lot of viewers interested in dating shows start to like them.

Of course, a lot of this was driven by S-M's water army leading the trend, which forced more people to see the likable side of their relationship.

With all this information, Liu Xin'an finally accepted the invitation from MBC's chief PD and boldly showed his face in front of thousands of spectators.

"I'll accept the compliments, but I'll pass on more appearances. If I show up too much, a lot of fans might think I'm trying to capitalize on dating you for fame, and then there won't be as many people liking us."

Liu Xin'an saw all this very clearly. His current popularity is largely because there are no interest conflicts between him and Bae Juhyun.

Once he debuts as an artist, their relationship would add another layer of senior-junior dynamics, in addition to being a couple.

Just debuted with hardly any fan base, and the biggest work is having a big celebrity girlfriend... At that time, Bae Juhyun's fans would definitely have something to say.

If possible, such a situation should never occur.

"The biggest joke of the 21st century, Xin'an needs to ride my coattails."

Bae Juhyun muttered, tossing her phone aside, and suddenly burst into laughter.

If others don't know, wouldn't she, Bae Juhyun, be aware of all this?

She's just a small artist, what merits does she have to receive such blatant favoritism from the company... even after making such big mistakes, and getting so many resources after making a comeback.

Isn't it just because she has a boyfriend whom the company has to deal with carefully!

This feeling of having connections and backing... it truly feels awesome!

As for whether people will gossip... let them talk, she doesn't care at all.

"But still, I think I need to ride the fame a bit, I feel like more and more of your fans are hanging out in my livestream room lately."

"Eh? Why?"

"Maybe they know you'll be on vacation by the end of the year, so they think you might show up in my livestream room?"

Liu Xin'an gave his guess, and just as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a weight on his back.

Turning his head, he saw his girlfriend holding her legs, her cute little feet pressed against his back.

Actually, Liu Xin'an never disliked his girlfriend for this. Though he did joke on variety shows about Bae Juhyun touching her feet and then his mouth...

But as for Bae Juhyun's feet...

What he can't accept is linking feet to the mouth, if it's just simple contact, he has no repulsion whatsoever.

Just like now.

"What?"

He was sitting cross-legged on the carpet, while Bae Juhyun was sitting on the couch, with one of them being higher up.

"Since the fans are so strongly asking for it, then..."

"Stop right there. If you want exposure, go find Taekyon, he'll arrange work for you."

"Wow! You're actually kicking me out!"

Bae Juhyun knew that Liu Xin'an would never agree to such a thing, so when Liu Xin'an interrupted her, she wasn't angry. Instead, she happily clung to Liu Xin'an's back, her pink legs wrapping around his waist like buttons, hanging onto him.
