Chapter 458: Friends and Girlfriends Returning in Succession_2
"Yeah, is that so strange?"
Bae Juhyun, long accustomed to this kind of work atmosphere, didn't find it strange at all, but for Liu Xin'an, it was precisely Bae Juhyun's calm composure that made him admire his girlfriend even more.
"As expected, our Juhyun is the best."
"What's this about, why are you suddenly saying that?"
Bae Juhyun was amused by Liu Xin'an's sudden praise, her lips curled up, and she murmured softly in a playful tone.
Liu Xin'an didn't respond, just gave Bae Juhyun a handsome smile.
―――
This was Liu Xin'an's last collaborative work for February.
And after that day, his life returned to the familiar pace.
Time quickly moved into March.
On the first day of March, S-M finally released a teaser video for Red Velvet's comeback new song.
In the video, Bae Juhyun was wearing a particularly glamorous puffed dress, looking as elegant as a princess.
Of course, as the boyfriend of this "princess," Liu Xin'an was naturally coerced by all the fans in the live room to watch the teaser video after it was released.
Then came all sorts of random questions.
He could understand everyone asking him to spoil or review what he thought of Bae Juhyun's comeback.
But what he couldn't understand was...
"What do you mean by saying I would look just as good as Juhyun in that outfit... Why would I wear that outfit?"
[Did you forget the tradition of a million fan cross-dressing?]
[Don't play dumb, Xin'an has been dodging cross-dressing suggestions every time they come up, it's not a new thing]
[Try it just once, you'll definitely fall in love with the feeling]
[One man's blood oath for Xin'an to do a dance in women's attire!]
[Cross-dress if you must, but leave the dance out of it, I don't want to ruin the image of Red Velvet in my heart]
"Alright, I've watched the video now, let's just wait for her new song to be released on the 28th. If you have any questions, go to her account and ask her directly. She's been working hard on her Chinese lately, as long as you don't send particularly complicated sentences, she can understand them."
Liu Xin'an naturally helped direct traffic to his girlfriend's account, which was now nearing a million followers. Unlike the account he currently held, "Silent Xin'an and Little Bamboo" had an astonishing number of active comments beneath every post.
Whenever Bae Juhyun posted something, it wouldn't take long for the comments to break through the ten thousand mark.
Small platforms aren't without fake engagement, but compared to those brushing platforms, the fake stats on smaller ones are still less.
And Bae Juhyun's popularity wasn't just due to the heat he brought her; in fact, more so because she was one of the few serious celebrity content creators who treated this platform as genuine fan interaction.
Although the account lacked any official verification, anyone with a discerning eye knew who was really controlling the account.
Quite a few celebrity artists have joined smaller platforms, and some indeed manage their accounts seriously.
But as a celebrity in South Korea gaining traction, hot search popularity, and absorbing a wave of Liu Xin'an's fans, she indeed stood out.
So, her current level of popularity is not surprising.
[If I call her my wife now, will she agree?]
This comment was hard for Liu Xin'an to ignore because it was a super comment.
However, unlike usual, Liu Xin'an didn't instruct the moderator to block the IP but instead showed a speechless expression.
The person who posted this super comment was Feifei.
"Trying to steal my girl, huh?"
Recently, during chats with old E, Liu Xin'an had learned quite a bit of inside information; he knew that those two were planning on getting their marriage certificate, and it probably wouldn't be long before they went public about it on the platform.
As a senior in the field of publicly announcing relationships, Liu Xin'an was putting on quite the show.
Then... while gaming, he ended up arguing heatedly with old E.
No choice, he was bad at FPS games despite all his talk.
Feifei's playful remarks indeed calmed down a lot of the viewers' gossiping curiosity.
After quietly watching the barrage for a while, Liu Xin'an suddenly remembered another friend's imminent comeback.
So, instead of starting a game, he opened the platform again and typed in the team name that included YUQI into the search box.
"By the way, Yuqi and the others are about to have their comeback, right?"
[Oh! Xin'an knows Yuqi too?]
"Have you considered the possibility that we shot a variety show together?"
Liu Xin'an chuckled in response to the barrage and scrolled the mouse.
[Recorded a show together but didn't follow Yuqi and her band's account]
This message made Liu Xin'an blush deeply, he coughed once and quickly manipulated the mouse to follow (G)i-dle's official account.
But before he could explain, his suddenly vibrating phone widened his eyes in surprise.
He hastily explained, "Yuqi, I didn't know you guys joined the platform, don't misunderstand!"
It turned out the message wasn't from anyone else but YUQI, who was sneaking a peek while watching the live stream.
His explanation only stirred up more excitement among the fans.
It was easy to guess, it must have been something YUQI sent that made Liu Xin'an so flustered.
[Haha, caught in the act by Yuqi?]
[Wasn't YUQI the one who shot a show with Xin'an?]
[She's a local, just developing her career abroad]
[Wonder how Yuqi's group's performance will be, does this upcoming comeback mean... they'll clash with Juhyun and her group?]
