Chapter 238: 197. Red Velvet’s Comeback Plan (Please subscribe! Please vote for monthly ticket!)_2

"Hey, no one’s going to get that close to you!"

Bae Juhyun excitedly waved her small fists. After putting away her precious makeup bag, the more she looked at Liu Xin’an, the more satisfied she felt.

While she was smiling foolishly, Liu Xin’an brought up something he had just remembered.

"Juhyun, since we’ve been sleeping together anyway, why don’t you just move in with me?"

He meant for Bae Juhyun to bring over her toiletries and makeup, to save her the trouble of running back and forth from the hallway like earlier.

Bae Juhyun didn’t misunderstand, but she still shook her head vigorously to refuse.

"No, no, no, things are good like this."

What a joke, if anyone was going to move, it should be Liu Xin’an moving to her place...

No, wait, why move!

Things are fine now; even though she no longer slept at her own place, ate at Liu Xin’an’s, and even had her pajamas in his closet.

But!

As long as she didn’t completely move in, it didn’t count as cohabitation!

"If you don’t mind the trouble, I don’t care." Liu Xin’an shrugged. He was just suggesting, after all, Juhyun staying over was practically the same as cohabitation.

"Hmm... Why did you suddenly think of this?"

"I found it amusing to see you running back and forth in such a hurry earlier."

"Oh..." Bae Juhyun responded, sulking. Did he find it amusing? She thought he couldn’t wait to make a move on her.

She put the makeup bag on the coffee table, then shyly moved closer to Liu Xin’an, flattening his crossed legs before lying down on them.

From this angle, she could clearly see Liu Xin’an’s chin.

The slightly scruffy stubble made her instinctively reach out and touch it.

It was prickly, rough, but not painful.

"You missed a spot while shaving."

Liu Xin’an felt an itch where her hand touched and reflexively followed her action, touching his own chin. He could indeed feel the prickly stubble.

Yet, it’s not easy to shave it all clean, he used an electric razor, which always left some stubble no matter how meticulously he shaved.

"Do you mind?"

Bae Juhyun retracted her hand with a playful smile: "Absolutely."

Then, she saw Liu Xin’an lean down and gently rub his chin against her smooth cheek.

The prickly sensation wasn’t painful, but it made her giggle. She cupped Liu Xin’an’s cheeks and offered her lips willingly.

After a while, Liu Xin’an let her go.

With her cheeks flushed and lips slightly swollen, Bae Juhyun struggled to sit up.

"You should start your livestream! I have to go to the office."

"Huh? Now?" Liu Xin’an instinctively looked at the living room clock. The hour hand pointed at 9, meaning it was only 9 AM, 8 AM back home.

Though it was New Year’s, and most people were probably resting at home, few were likely to be up for a livestream at this hour.

"Dahyun is coming over this afternoon, so you should stream longer. I have to go change and report to the manager."

Bae Juhyun untied her hair, letting her smooth black hair cascade down. She shook her head lightly, and her beautiful black hair flowed.

The unique fragrance of her shampoo made Liu Xin’an take a deep breath. He nodded, stretching lazily as he stood up.

"Come back early this afternoon. I don’t want to meet your friend alone; you know I’m clueless about the entertainment industry."

"Okay, I’ll greet Manager Kim and be back by noon."

"Got it~"

———

Just after noon, Bae Juhyun knocked on Manager Kim’s office door. Before she could sit down and report, she received news that made her eyes widen in delight.

"Really? Our comeback plan is finalized?"

Manager Kim had hinted before that the company planned for their comeback.

But back then, he said they’d hear something in March.

It was only late February now, still a bit away from March.

She hadn’t expected the news to come so early.

"Yes," Manager Kim nodded, pulling out a document with the Red Velvet logo and handing it to Bae Juhyun.

Such comeback plans were usually previewed by the group leader, since the leader had to take on some tasks for the members.

And now that Bae Juhyun was so idle, giving her something to do wasn’t a bad idea.

"The demo’s ready. You’ve been practicing dance and vocals recently, so work with the choreographers on the dance."

"Huh? Me?" The request puzzled Bae Juhyun.

She neither took on dance nor main vocal roles, usually just rapping the lyrics given to her.

As for dance...

That was torture.

"Haven’t you been quite free recently? How did the trip to China go? Did you dig up any news?"

Bae Juhyun shook her head firmly, and then gave an apologetic smile.

"Her lips were sealed tight; it was hard to ask anything out."

"Really?" Manager Kim’s probing gaze made alarms go off in Bae Juhyun’s head.

She knew that any strange behavior now would make Manager Kim suspicious, so she forced herself to stay calm and nodded.

"Really."

"Well, I didn’t have high hopes anyway."

"...Manager!"

Bae Juhyun, feeling a bit guilty, admonished the man who had been taking care of them since their debut.

"Alright, you have the plan now, come to the company often to practice. It’s good if you can help with the dance; if not, just practice more. You know your dancing is a weak point, so extra practice won’t hurt."

"Yes."

"And... Have you gained weight recently? Have you checked your weight?"

This question horrified Bae Juhyun. She quickly stood up, bowing and nodding, escaping Manager Kim’s office like she was fleeing, leaving a smiling manager to continue his work.

Outside, Bae Juhyun sighed in relief. If Manager Kim set any weight loss orders, she’d have to be on a diet for at least half a month.

At the company, it wasn’t too bad, but at home... She doubted she could resist the temptation with Liu Xin’an devouring all kinds of delicious food.

Fitness enthusiasts were unfair; they could eat well without gaining weight. Weren’t they supposed to strictly control caloric intake every day? How could her boyfriend eat so much fried chicken and barbecue and still keep fit?

Maybe she should start working out too?

The idea barely formed before Bae Juhyun firmly dismissed it.

She’d rather have one meal a day, just two eggs for that meal, than sweat it out in a gym.

Absolutely not!

"Irene?!"

As she was calming down, a familiar voice called from behind.

It was Vivian Ning, the girl from China, like Liu Xin’an.

Bae Juhyun paused, then smiled: "Ningning, happy new year~"

Vivian Ning was taken aback, instinctively replying in Chinese, then gasping in surprise: "Your Chinese is so good, did you learn it during the last Bilibili event?"

No one in the company knew about Bae Juhyun’s trip to China, so Vivian Ning assumed Bae Juhyun learned Chinese while filming a greetings video for Chinese fans.

"Hehe, why?"

Bae Juhyun wasn’t about to tell the truth, but she was curious why Vivian Ning was looking for her.

"Um, I wanted to check if you still need money, we might be too busy to help in the next few days."

"Oh! No need, thank you, Ningning~"

Kidding, she didn’t need any more money; she was already Liu Xin’an’s number one supporter... Though, she hadn’t really used that status yet, had she?

She felt like she was missing out.
