Chapter 451: On the Evidence That Liu Xin'an Is Not a Robot (Thanks to swalle the Alliance Hierarch! 2/4)
The person appearing in the news right now is a familiar friend.
Last time they were in touch was during the Chinese New Year greetings. Liu Xin'an raised his eyebrows slightly as he looked at the news, picked up his phone, and found YUQI's WeChat.
"Are you guys making a comeback?"
Apart from Red Velvet and Twice, who have a close relationship with him, YUQI is probably the artist with whom he has the best relationship here.
The news Liu Xin'an was looking at was about the group YUQI belongs to.
WeChat doesn't have a read function, but YUQI, a surfing enthusiast, checks her phone quite frequently. As soon as Liu laid his phone down, YUQI replied.
"Bingo! Seems like Juhyun and the others are also making a comeback, right? We've heard about it."
"Yes, looks like a collision's about to happen."
Honestly, Liu Xin'an wouldn't recommend YUQI and her group make a comeback at this time. YUQI is a good friend, and Bae Juhyun is his girlfriend; if they collide... it's truly a pity.
Besides, he's heard Bae Juhyun's new song; both the quality and dance are top-notch. If YUQI's group crash into them...
"We're coming on strong this time~ You have to remind Juhyun to be careful~"
From YUQI's response, Liu Xin'an saw pure confidence.
"Awesome, send me some autographed merchandise later. I'll give them away during my livestream and promote you guys too."
"Are you crazy? We're having a showdown with Juhyun this time. Aren't you afraid of getting scolded for promoting us?"
Liu Xin'an raised an eyebrow. After all, he collaborated on shows with YUQI; just because she collides with his girlfriend's comeback doesn't mean he should ignore a friend.
Moreover...
"I see you guys are coming back on the 14th, while they're on the 28th. I'll promote you for the first 10 days, then switch sides."
"Great strategy, Xin'an."
"Hahahaha"
As they were chatting, a video call popped up, interrupting their conversation. Without hesitation, Liu Xin'an answered.
Soon, a cheerful smile appeared on the screen.
"What are you doing!"
Bae Juhyun's face was very close to the screen, allowing Liu Xin'an to clearly see the details of her skin.
However, Bae who boasts about her delicate skin, was quite nonchalant, not nervous at all.
She called because she knew Liu Xin'an had finished his livestream.
Since work was over, Liu Xin'an could spare some time to accompany her — that shouldn't be a problem, right?
Looking at this captivating woman on the screen, Liu Xin'an felt like teasing.
"Me? I'm chatting with a pretty girl."
Bae Juhyun paused, then showed a shy expression.
Indeed, she interpreted Liu Xin'an's mention of a 'pretty girl' as herself.
Seeing her expression, Liu Xin'an's lips curved mischievously.
"Ah, except you, another pretty girl."
"What did you say?"
Bae's face switched from smiling to cold in an instant, making Liu Xin'an thoroughly surprised at her speed.
"I saw YUQI on the news earlier, seems like their group's making a comeback next month."
His words made Bae Juhyun smile again, realizing it was about YUQI; she wondered who else it could have been.
During the New Year, YUQI called Liu Xin'an for greetings and extended them to her, so she understood their relationship is just ordinary friendship.
That Liu was frank also proved this point.
"I know, they're on the 14th, and we're on the 28th."
"Will there be a head-to-head music show battle then?"
"Yes, definitely. Whom will you support?"
"Red Velvet unconditionally."
His decisive response made Bae Juhyun satisfied. That's right, if Liu supports YUQI, she'd drive back to him and give him hell.
"Have you discussed the show with Manager Kim?"
"Um, not yet; the manager wasn't at the company today. I'll mention it tomorrow."
"Remember..."
"Whenever I need your help, I'll reach out. No worries, my caring Xin'an."
"Hey, teasing me again. Watch out or I won't care about you anymore."
"Do it if you can~"
Sometimes Bae's impishness could make someone grind their teeth in frustration.
Liu Xin'an tried using a stern face to intimidate her, but knew very well that he wouldn't cold shoulder her over such trivial matters. Bae Juhyun just watched him smilingly.
In the end, Liu Xin'an couldn't help but smile too.
"Gosh, you really have me wrapped around your finger, Bae Juhyun."
"Heehee~"
"So you're resting now?"
"Mm... Starting tomorrow, we'll officially film the MV, then do various promos and preparatory work. It's gonna be busy, so don't miss me too much."
"Boring life is starting again, huh? I can't even join in your comeback preparations this time~"
During the last comeback, although he felt lonely, he participated in a lot of Bae Juhyun's comeback prep work.
Things like promotional warm-ups; after all, they were still in a tied-up state back then.
Now that their relationship is publicly known, he needs to keep some distance from Bae Juhyun.
