Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?

"Do you even need to ask that? Of course, I made the first move. At the time, I didn't know she was a public figure. After a few meals and chats, it's not surprising to fall for such a beautiful lady."

But he still had to save some face for his girlfriend.

If Bae Juhyun's fans found out that their idol was the one to take the initiative, they'd be utterly disappointed.

A little white lie was necessary, and besides, whether he lied or not wouldn't change the fact that they were already together.

[True, with Juhyun's face, what man could possibly resist?]

[Wow, look at those eyes totally smitten. So jealous of Xin'an!]

Bae Juhyun didn't understand Chinese, but from Liu Xin'an's actions, it wasn't hard to see that her boyfriend had shouldered the responsibility himself.

Feeling warm inside, Miss Bae secretly poked Liu Xin'an's arm in a spot the camera couldn't catch. When Liu Xin'an looked at her subconsciously, she slipped her small hand into his big one, interlocking their fingers with a sweet smile.

Her radiant smile brightened everyone's mood and successfully drew another round of lamenting comments from the fans.

Everyone seemed to grasp one thing: this livestream wasn't just about Liu Xin'an and Bae Juhyun answering fan questions, it was also a major single person's slaughterhouse.

Absolutely terrifying!

"Will Juhyun retire from her career as an artist after going public... I can answer that on her behalf. That is absolutely never going to happen."

"Eh? What are you talking about?"

Liu Xin'an quickly whispered and translated the fan's question to Bae Juhyun. After listening seriously, Bae Juhyun promptly shook her head.

"No, I will always be Irene of Red Velvet. We'll still have lots of opportunities to appear in front of everyone."

[Will you join variety shows with Xin'an in the future?]

"Huh? Well... that's not up to me. It depends on whether Xin'an wants to join the show with me."

This question made Bae Juhyun's eyes light up. She answered slowly, while also diverting the topic to Liu Xin'an.

After translating, Liu Xin'an twitched his mouth and took over, "Neither of us can guarantee that. It would depend on her company's arrangements."

Shifting the blame, just say the company decides. Although S-M greatly respects the opinions of both Liu Xin'an and Bae Juhyun... the fans didn't know that.

[Might as well create a reality show just for the two of you]

[Better not do that. There's no need to market a relationship. Xin'an isn't in the industry, it's not necessary]

For some fans who enjoyed their couple dynamic, seeing Liu Xin'an and Bae Juhyun on a variety show together was indeed an entertaining thought.

But such things were not good news for Liu Xin'an's followers or Bae Juhyun's fans.

Especially the latter.

Fans could accept their idol dating, but absolutely wouldn't accept their idol turning into a relationship-focused person!

When it was time to work, work. When it was time to engage with fans, engage. That was an artist's basic duty, not showing off their love life every day!

"These are all future matters. We can't talk much about work-related topics. Anyway, if possible, I hope everyone will continue to support our Juhyun."

This livestream didn't last much longer. After the servers were back up, they streamed for about another hour. This brief fan interaction was gradually coming to an end.

After waving goodbye to the fans in the livestream, Bae Juhyun finally relaxed her tightly strung nerves.

It wasn't that she was afraid to face the fans, it was just all the unfamiliar characters that gave her significant pressure.

Now that her relationship with Liu Xin'an was confessed to the fans, she had to be cautious in all future activities.

She was so cautious that she feared saying one wrong word would lead to fans' harsh criticism, so she instinctively glanced at Liu Xin'an after each sentence... she was extraordinarily careful.

"I definitely need to learn Chinese well now, otherwise I won't be able to chat with my Chinese fans in the future."

Bae Juhyun mumbled softly, then reached out to grab Liu Xin'an's arm, speaking seriously.

"Should I teach you?"

"No, you can't bring yourself to scold me. Without scolding, I'm afraid I can't persevere!"

Bae Juhyun's words made Liu Xin'an's lips twitch. What a strange habit, unable to learn without being scolded?

But scolding...

"I can do it." Liu Xin'an steeled himself to help Bae Juhyun learn Chinese better.

But Bae Juhyun's expression was pure disbelief.

"You can actually bring yourself to scold me?"

"Uh... don't misunderstand, it's just to push you to learn Chinese."

"Bad guy, I can't believe you would think that way!"

"..."

Seeing Liu Xin'an's speechless expression, Bae Juhyun chuckled, scooting closer to him and hugging his waist happily, "Now I can be with you openly~"

"What do you mean, were we secretly together before?"

"Weren't we?"

Snuggling in his arms, Bae Juhyun looked up with an innocent, surprised expression on her delicate face, making Liu Xin'an bend down and gently kiss her lips.

As soon as their lips touched, Bae Juhyun smiled and pushed Liu Xin'an away, picking up her chopsticks again.
