Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?
Chapter 130. Suite... Suite?

Chapter 130: 130. Suite... Suite?

"Are you coming over today? Alright... What time."

"Do you need me to pick you up? I don’t even have a car here, how am I supposed to pick you up."

"Take a cab to pick you up... fine, fine, whatever."

Liu Xin’an hung up the phone and laughed helplessly.

The date had unknowingly reached January 18th.

Bae Juhyun’s visa had been received a week ago, so she could fly to Huaxia’s Magic City with him at any time.

But before that, they had to wait for Li Chenglu, who was going on a long-distance trip.

That person had gone crazy chasing stars here. Maybe she never had the chance before, and now she was having a great time.

On top of that, the groups she liked had a lot of events during this time...

Whenever Liu Xin’an looked at Li Chenglu’s social media, he couldn’t help but think she was busier than the celebrities themselves.

"Is she coming over now?"

Bae Juhyun swung her not-so-long legs over Liu Xin’an’s lap and asked curiously after he finished the call.

"Yes, she said she’d arrive in the afternoon. We can leave tomorrow or the day after. Is that okay with you?"

"Of course!"

Bae Juhyun was excited; she hadn’t been to Huaxia many times.

She had gone there a few times when she debuted, but hadn’t had the chance since then.

She had heard of the legendary Magic City but had never actually been there.

"Then let’s buy plane tickets tomorrow."

"OK!"

"I need to go out this afternoon. Li Chenglu wants me to pick her up."

Bae Juhyun was taken aback. She pulled her legs off Liu Xin’an and looked up at him, puzzled. "How are you going to pick her up?"

"By cab. You should stay here—there are too many people at the airport. They’ll recognize my car, and that will be troublesome."

Good. Liu Xin’an made a valid point, and Bae Juhyun couldn’t argue with him.

She wasn’t mad about it either; after all, she wasn’t the type to argue when she’s wrong.

"Alright, I’ll wait for you guys at home."

"Mm."

-----

"Where are you flying back from?"

Liu Xin’an, unable to hold back a laugh, took the suitcase from Li Chenglu and looked at her curiously.

Li Chenglu took off her sunglasses and flashed a beautiful smile. "Indonesia."

"...Whose concert were you chasing, going so far?"

"BP."

"...Alright, but you know Irene has gotten you a lot of TWICE photo cards. Don’t scare her when you go back."

"No way, don’t worry. I know my limits."

On regular days, their conversations were quite normal.

But that harmonious atmosphere came to an abrupt end when they got back to his place.

Seeing Bae Juhyun, Li Chenglu turned into a star-obsessed fan again, her eyes shining in a way that made Liu Xin’an, who had known her since childhood, feel embarrassed.

Luckily, maybe because she had seen too many stars recently, her "fangirl mode" only lasted less than five minutes before she returned to her normal self.

Well...as long as Bae Juhyun didn’t actively talk to her.

"Irene, is there any place you’d like to go?"

Bae Juhyun instinctively thought for a moment, then quickly realized something was off.

Did Li Chenglu just speak? And she...understood?

Liu Xin’an also froze but quickly caught on, knowing her well.

Strange behavior often comes with genius in certain areas.

Li Chenglu was a true language genius, with exceptional intelligence and an incredible language gift.

But due to her job, she hadn’t studied the local language, as she never expected to get so close to her favorite stars.

But now it was different. Her favorite star was not only right beside her but also her childhood friend’s girlfriend.

This opportunity gave her the motivation she needed.

She didn’t want Liu Xin’an to translate for her, so during these star-chasing days, she began learning the language.

Her terrifying talent shone through; in just a couple of weeks, with the right environment, she could handle simple daily conversations perfectly.

"Is chasing stars such a big motivation?"

Liu Xin’an teased his childhood friend in words Bae Juhyun could understand.

Li Chenglu rolled her eyes and then clutched Bae Juhyun’s tiny hand, smiling softly.

"For Irene, I would do... Ouch! Liu Xin’an, what are you doing?"

Liu Xin’an wasn’t going to stand by and watch his girlfriend being harassed. He hit Li Chenglu on the head and pulled his girlfriend’s hand away.

"Don’t touch my girlfriend, you creep!"

"I’m not low enough to steal your girlfriend. Besides, Irene is sacred! I will fight for Irene’s smile! Irene’s smile won’t be harmed! Some things in life are worth protecting, worth my heartbeat! Even...Ouch, I’m hitting back, Liu Xin’an!"

Li Chenglu was about to explode; he had hit her head again.

Bae Juhyun just stood aside, smiling as she watched them bicker.

By now, she kind of understood why these two hadn’t developed feelings despite knowing each other for so long.

Their interactions were the same as her and her little sister, Bae Jinhee.

Maybe, as Liu Xin’an said, he and Li Chenglu were like siblings from different parents...

Or maybe actual siblings.

"So, you learned our country’s language in just a few days?"

Hearing the surprise in Bae Juhyun’s voice, Li Chenglu smiled shyly and made a gesture that could get her severely criticized by local men.

"Just a little."

"In just a few days?"

Bae Juhyun was still shaken. This level of talent was beyond her understanding as a high school graduate.

"Don’t let her weird behavior fool you. She’s truly a genius, fluent in six languages."

..." Bae Juhyun fell silent and then remembered her boyfriend wasn’t ordinary either. She turned to look at him, then at Li Chenglu, and finally leaned closer to Liu Xin’an.

"How many languages do you speak?"

"Hmm... let me think. Your language, our mother tongue, English, Japanese from university, a bit of French from electives... that’s about it."

Bae Juhyun suddenly felt insignificant in front of them.

If anything, the only thing she had over them was... the number of fans?

She was just a high school graduate, barely able to speak English... a normal person!

Yes, a normal person. In front of these two, she could only consider herself a normal person.

"But my writing is still weak. Speaking is easier for me." Li Chenglu was a bit frustrated; if given another month or two, she had the confidence to reach Liu Xin’an’s level.

Bae Juhyun quietly muttered, "That’s already amazing..."

"Really?"

"Mm..."

Liu Xin’an sensed his girlfriend’s unease and held her small hand, smiling.

"Alright, let’s buy plane tickets. Are we leaving tomorrow or the day after?"

Tomorrow was the 19th, the day after was the 20th, and the rehearsal for the performance was on the 21st, so either day worked.

"Let’s go tomorrow afternoon. But if Irene comes with us, we can’t stay in the hotel provided by the event, right?"

"Right. I didn’t plan on it anyway."

The event wasn’t as generous as one might think; the hotel they provided was a double room, meaning Liu Xin’an would have a roommate if he stayed there.

He didn’t like sharing rooms, even with close friends.

So last time, he booked a separate room for himself.

"Let’s pick a hotel first."

Li Chenglu said, pulling out her tablet to start searching for hotels near the venue.

However, this topic made Liu Xin’an look to Bae Juhyun instinctively.

Feeling her boyfriend’s gaze, Bae Juhyun returned a sweet smile, and her hand slipped into his, fingers entwined.

"Hold on. How are we distributing the rooms?"

"Um... you get your own room, and I’ll share with Irene."

"Wait, no. I don’t trust that."

"Do you want to share a room with Irene? I can’t accept that!"

Li Chenglu was agitated; seeing her beloved idol sharing a hotel with another guy tore at her.

She couldn’t let it happen.

But it was up to the couple, not her.

So Liu Xin’an ignored Li Chenglu’s wails and asked Bae Juhyun, "Juhyun, how do you want to arrange the hotel rooms?"

"Uh... what do you mean?"

"I mean we could get a two-room suite and let Li Chenglu book a separate room. How does that sound?"

Bae Juhyun listened seriously, her face getting redder.

Even though she and Liu Xin’an had hugged, kissed, and even shared intimate moments, sleeping under the same roof...

Her place and Liu Xin’an’s were separated by just one wall, and she had never stayed over at his place unless after drinking.

Was this Huaxia trip going to take their relationship to the next level?

It felt too fast...

Bae Juhyun nervously ran her fingers through her hair, her eyes flitting around unsure how to respond.

Seeing her reaction, Liu Xin’an realized she had misunderstood. He gently knocked her head, earning a yelp, and explained, "We wouldn’t be in the same room, it’s a suite, got it?"

"Oh... okay, I don’t mind."

Bae Juhyun calmed down. If they were in separate rooms within the suite, she was fine with it.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to share a bed but everything was happening too fast.

She wasn’t mentally prepared yet.

"Irene, don’t believe Liu Xin’an’s sweet talk. He’ll definitely have bad intentions. Stay with me! I’ll protect you!"

Li Chenglu’s pitiful voice made Bae Juhyun smile awkwardly but politely.

Then, she moved closer to Liu Xin’an, wanting to be nearer to her boyfriend.

Honestly, given a choice, she’d rather share a bed with her boyfriend.

She wasn’t that familiar with Li Chenglu and felt awkward around her.

"Alright, book the tickets. I’ll take care of the hotel."

"Darn it!"
