Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?

[The guys in front took abstraction to another level]

With the live chat going wild, Liu Xin'an no longer had the bandwidth to care. He briefly explained the situation to old E and then quickly stood up, turning off the microphone along the way.

Afterward, he hastily dialed his girlfriend's number.

Much like when he previously answered Bae Juhyun's call, this call he made was picked up by Bae Juhyun almost instantly.

"What's going on with you? Are you crazy?"

"Why? You don't like it?"

Bae Juhyun's voice sounded airy, as if it was drifting through the phone from somewhere else right into his ear.

Without giving it much thought, Liu Xin'an continued, "Are you guys playing some truth or dare game? Don't waste money, seriously. If you really want to give a gift, just transfer the money to me directly. I'll thank you right away."

Why let a middleman earn a profit between us? What a joke!

His words made Bae Juhyun burst into happy laughter on the other end of the line.

However, he still felt that the laughter did not seem to come solely from the other end of the phone.

Bewildered, Liu Xin'an instinctively glanced toward the door, holding his breath, and carefully distinguished the sounds from Bae Juhyun's side.

He couldn't hear Kang Seulgi or Son Seungwan's voices. With what he knew about those two, if Bae Juhyun were sending him a gift, it was highly likely due to their instigation…

So, if that were the case, shouldn't he be able to hear those two?

Yet, he genuinely couldn't hear them, and… just now, the sound seemed to have come from outside the door.

That means…

He stepped lightly to the door and then yanked it open.

Sure enough, there she was—a woman wearing a creamy white sports jacket with a black hoodie underneath, beaming a bright smile as she looked at him.

His sudden appearance did not startle her; this constantly animated person lightly waved at him before laughing and jumping into his arms.

Liu Xin'an's heart hit a sudden halt on the spot.

He hadn't turned off the camera!!

---

Liu Xin'an was immensely grateful for his robust physique.

His body completely concealed Bae Juhyun.

And quite coincidentally, as he stood up from his chair, his gaming chair slightly swiveled, naturally blocking the space between the camera and his room's doorway.

Feigning nonchalance while telling his viewers that something had come up, Liu Xin'an stopped the stream and helplessly turned the chair to face this innocent-looking woman.

Then, he opened his arms.

Bae Juhyun got the hint and sat on his lap, her small figure leaning against his chest, listening closely to the man's heartbeat.

"Is the issue resolved?"

"Yes, it's resolved."

"That was quick. I thought you guys would have a cold war for a while."

"Why?" Bae Juhyun asked, puzzled as she looked up.

Liu Xin'an turned her around, making them face the computer, and then he searched for "Bae Juhyun Kang Seulgi argument" in the streaming site's search box, quickly pulling up a video.

What appeared in Bae Juhyun's view was a clip of them from an activity during a much earlier comeback, where she and Kang Seulgi visibly had some distance. Then, Kang Seulgi jokingly threw an inflatable ball at her, and her expression instantly turned cold and angry as she hurled the ball violently back at Kang Seulgi.

Umm…

Bae Juhyun awkwardly grinned and hurriedly reached out to close the video using the mouse.

"Were you really mad then?"

"Well… I actually wasn't that angry at first, but she insisted on hitting me with the ball, and I just flared up."

Folks had analyzed it similarly. As artists, they were still human after all.

Arguments were…quite a common scenario.

"What was that fight about?"

From Liu Xin'an's tone, Bae Juhyun could sense a strong curiosity.

She wrapped her arms around his waist, resting her cheek on Liu Xin'an's chest, showcasing her clingy side.

"I forgot."

Though they have disputes frequently, their bond would not weaken over one or two arguments.

After saying that, Bae Juhyun suddenly asked, "Aren't you curious why Seulgi and I fought this time?"

"Am I allowed to be curious?"

"Why wouldn't you be?"

Feeling slightly awkward, Liu Xin'an scratched his cheek, still remembering why Kang Seulgi had called him over.

Kang Seulgi clearly said over the phone that Bae Juhyun had a work-related trouble, which was why Kang Seulgi asked him over to surprise Bae Juhyun.

Work, trouble, and his presen...

With a bit of analysis, he could actually piece together the general situation.

In terms of smarts, he was not inferior to Son Seungwan, but Liu Xin'an, though aware, opted to play dumb.

"Um… let me guess, it's…"

"You can guess it, can't you?"

Liu Xin'an was slightly taken aback, then he gave an embarrassed smile.

"Uh…"

Interrupting Liu Xin'an's thought process, Bae Juhyun released her arms around him and got up from his lap, flashing a smile at him.

"Did Seulgi tell you anything?"

"Not exactly. She only mentioned you were a bit troubled about something, so what is it?"

Since Bae Juhyun had already pointed it out, he stopped keeping it secret and answered honestly.

"The company is launching a personal variety show for me, but I'm not too enthusiastic about the show's concept."
