Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?

"Water army? Your rivals?"

It's not too difficult to guess who could be called Red Velvet's rival.

But Twice was definitely not one of them. For Bae Juhyun and others nowadays...Twice already counted as half family.

"It might not necessarily be rivals; it could also be people who dislike our company. Anyway, be careful but don't take it too seriously."

"Don't worry, I'm a professional at live streaming."

"Shall we go then? Are you all coming?" Bae Juhyun nodded and then turned to ask, looking at Kang Seulgi, who had walked over to Son Seungwan and reached for the fried chicken.

Her three sisters all nodded in unison in response.

This fun, they didn't want to watch it through phone screens.

"Then let's go together, but behave yourselves and don't make a scene, okay?"

"Okay~"

"Yes."

"Captain, don't worry!"

The worrying responses made Bae Juhyun have a bad premonition.

But with the scheduled live stream time approaching, she couldn't say much, just shot Liu Xin'an a glance, and then led the way out.

Live streaming surely couldn't be held in the practice room. The company had specially arranged a room for her for this live stream.

------

At 8 PM, Bae Juhyun, who hadn't updated her Instagram for over a year, finally opened her Instagram live.

Though she had appeared in Liu Xin'an's live streams before, being the main act this time and facing an entirely local audience...Bae Juhyun found it somewhat hard to adapt at once.

As usual, her familiar stunning beauty made every fan who received the notification and joined the live stream start typing praises from the heart.

Instagram might not have bullet comments like some other platforms, but fans' messages were still visible at the bottom left of the screen.

Bae Juhyun was dazed for a moment before showing a smile all her fans were very familiar with.

"Hello, everyone. Long time no see."

She greeted her fans in the live stream softly, unable to suppress her rising cheekbones.

"Today...ah, what to do, I suddenly feel so nervous and shy." Bae Juhyun finally overestimated herself. She glanced aside, then covered her mouth, self-mocking.

[You're so beautiful, unnie!!]

[Long time no see, Irene!]

"Long time no see, long time no see...ah~ it's really been a while since we've met like this, I don't even know what to say."

[Where is Liu Xin'an?]

[Where's that jerk dating our Irene?]

One comment made Bae Juhyun's breathing heavier, but luckily, she was good at self-adjustment.

Ignoring that comment, Bae Juhyun tilted her head to her side and said softly, "They're looking for you."

"Me?"

The clear male voice appeared, causing the comment section at the bottom right to update at an increasingly rapid pace.

Soon, an unexpected scene for Bae Juhyun appeared.

Although she had visited China a few times and even lived there for a while, having a Chinese boyfriend now...Bae Juhyun still underestimated the scale of China.

Or rather...the scale of Chinese people.

Bae Juhyun was very popular, and many people were indeed looking forward to the live stream. Nevertheless, she initially thought only tens of thousands would show up.

But the number in the top right starting with an 8 surprised Bae Juhyun, and what was more surprising was that the comment section, previously filled with Korean comments, was now occupied by various Chinese comments.

Hmm...South Korea has a mere 50 million people.

China?

That's 1.4 billion!

"Ah..."

The appearance of these Chinese comments made Bae Juhyun blink in confusion. Helpless, she looked once again to Liu Xin'an beside her, giving him a pleading look.

This time, Liu Xin'an's appearance was not just his voice; he formally stepped out from the side, standing behind Bae Juhyun, looking closer at the comments with an equally puzzled expression.

"So...folks, tone it down a bit. This live stream is mainly for Korean fans, don't become the center of attention!"

He quickly used Chinese to persuade the spammers and fans.

Fortunately, everyone was just there for a bit of fun. Liu Xin'an was good at filtering out disruptive fans, so everyone understood what was a joke and what wasn't. After spamming briefly to show their presence, they quieted down, silently enjoying the beautiful frame of Liu Xin'an and Bae Juhyun together.

As various Korean comments started appearing in the comment section again, Liu Xin'an switched to Korean, saying somewhat embarrassingly, "Sorry, my fans are a bit unruly."

[Hahahaha, Liu Xin'an's fans are so fun]

[It's okay, ReVeluvs really appreciate Liu Xin'an's help to Irene]

(ReVeluv: Red Velvet's fan name)

Bae Juhyun and her team's popularity in China was seen by all fans.

The reason for their popularity was undoubtedly tied to Liu Xin'an.

Fans' gratitude here was not just polite words but heartfelt thanks.

Fans who had always followed Red Velvet knew the help Liu Xin'an had given them, and this was actually one of the main reasons why there were so few opposing fans when the relationship was made public.

What's more...Bae Juhyun had mentioned meeting Liu Xin'an during her darkest period last year.
