Chapter 310: 228. Off-site Assistance_2

"The problem is, I don’t know," Liu Xin’an was completely confused. He really had no clue what Bae Juhyun liked.

After they became official, Bae Juhyun had instructed him that whether on variety shows or in interviews, most of her answers were just for maintaining her public image. Though there were some truths she had indeed spoken, Liu Xin’an couldn’t use those as references.

So, apart from that, to find out what his girlfriend really liked... he couldn’t possibly ask Bae Juhyun directly, right?

Wouldn’t that seem a bit too deliberate?

"You don’t know your own girlfriend? What does she like to see on social media, what does she give likes to?"

"Uh..."

"What about the shopping cart? There must be something similar to Taobao in Korea, right? Why don’t you flip through her shopping cart and help clear it out?"

"Ah..."

"You don’t know this either? Wow, how are you even doing as a boyfriend?"

Old E laughed. Sometimes when Feifei said he was a typical straight guy he didn’t feel she was wrong, but now looking closely, Liu Xin’an was much more of a straight guy than him.

At least he knew what his girlfriend liked, what she wanted, and even occasionally bought her flowers and small gifts as surprises in everyday life.

Definitely much better than Liu Xin’an, who knew nothing.

"Cough cough cough, my situation is a bit special..."

"Save it, a straight guy is a straight guy. Pay attention and learn well, I’ll teach you properly. Just check what she likes on her social platforms. You should find something there without any surprises."

Liu Xin’an nodded, then opened Instagram, found his girlfriend’s account, and fell silent.

Great, not updated in over half a year.

Not to mention updates, she hadn’t even liked anything.

After all, Bae Juhyun was still in a dormant state, everyone knew she was reflecting and self-punishing. She couldn’t be browsing Instagram every day!

After checking Instagram, Bae Juhyun’s shopping platforms...

Honestly, no need to look.

Why would she, richer than him, have anything in her shopping cart?

Doesn’t she usually buy whatever she likes right away?

"What if there’s nothing, if I can’t find anything?"

"...Your girlfriend is some kind of wild person?"

"Damn!"

Hearing Liu Xin’an get anxious, Old E quickly apologized, "Just joking, if you don’t know any of this... why don’t you ask her friends? Do you know her friends? This kind of stuff, she’d probably talk about what she likes with her close friends, right?"

This time, Old E’s suggestion lit up Liu Xin’an’s eyes; he excitedly clapped his hands, the crisp clapping sound startling Old E on the other end of the headset.

"What’s going on? Guilty enough to slap yourself? It’s not that serious, Xin’an!"

"You’ve been a huge help, Old E, we’ll catch up for some gaming when I’m free!"

"No! Don’t call me..."

Old E was cut off mid-sentence as Liu Xin’an abruptly ended the call.

Then, ignoring a string of cursing emoticons from Old E, he cheerfully responded with a hearty thank you and then got up from in front of his computer.

He did know a friend of Bae Juhyun’s who was especially close to her.

———

"...Cough cough."

Suddenly, a message popping up on her phone made Kang Seulgi choke on her own saliva.

Her sudden strange action scared Bae Juhyun, who was intently listening to a demo next to her.

This Miss "Bae Fright", startled, jittered back a step, then quickly recovered and reached out to pat her sister on the back.

"What happened?"

Kang Seulgi waved her hand, turning off her phone screen, and stood up to walk out of the practice room.

"Going to get some water, got something in my throat."

"Choked on your spit, huh? Typical you, Seulgi."

"Hmph."

Kang Seulgi couldn’t be bothered to argue with Bae Juhyun and carried her phone out, making sure Bae Juhyun wasn’t behind her before opening the chat box.

The very cause of her sputtering was the person messaging.

Bae Juhyun’s boyfriend, Liu Xin’an.

Though she didn’t know why he’d circumvent Bae Juhyun to contact her, since Liu Xin’an had done so, it meant he didn’t want to tell Bae Juhyun about it.

She decided to see what he wanted first, and if it was indeed something odd, she’d tell Bae Juhyun right away.

The message from Liu Xin’an was straightforward.

"Free?"

Kang Seulgi, puzzled, responded just like her expression.

"?"

The instant she sent the message, "unread" flipped to "read."

"I’d like to consult you about something, if it’s not too much trouble, could you, without telling Juhyun, meet up with Seungwan, and I’ll treat you guys to dinner?"

Since he was asking for a favor, he definitely needed to be courteous.

And he couldn’t just ask Kang Seulgi alone for help; avoiding any appearance of impropriety is significant in social interactions. He could ask for Kang Seulgi’s help, but should not be contacting Kang Seulgi behind Bae Juhyun’s back alone.

This could be seen as quite ambiguous, and even if everyone knew there were no weird intentions, if it somehow got out one day, it could certainly cause misunderstandings, and in a worse scenario, it could even lead to a conflict with Bae Juhyun.

So, based on this, involving another person would perfectly avoid such misunderstandings.

In Red Velvet, apart from Kang Seulgi, Son Seungwan was the closest friend.

Thus, Liu Xin’an also included an invitation for Son Seungwan.

Kang Seulgi scrutinized the line of text, then more question marks crossed her face.

She pursed her lips, thinking for a few seconds while heading to the restroom, rapidly tapping on her phone.

"Let’s just go to your place, tomorrow afternoon."

"Great! What would you like to eat?"

An excited smile appeared on Kang Seulgi’s face.

"Steak!"
