Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?

Chapter 497: 290. Public... public? _3

By the time he got back to his new home and quickly tidied up his things, it was already seven in the evening without him even noticing.

As night approached, Liu Xin’an turned on his computer and casually browsed through the recent videos from his favorite YouTubers.

The current trending number one was still that video by Cai Qian which recreated the golden mask, the one he mentioned before as a major project.

He had to admit, it was indeed a major project, one that left people in awe.

Liu Xin’an watched it once and dutifully gave it a like, comment, and share. He also left a comment below the video saying, "Awesome work."

He planned to recommend this video to Bae Juhyun when she came over tonight.

Every Chinese person has a strong sense of national pride, and this golden mask could serve as a medium to share his sense of pride.

However, he didn’t know what time Bae Juhyun would arrive.

After pondering for a moment, he decided to send a message to his girlfriend to ask her.

If it was too late, he wouldn’t ask Bae Juhyun to come anymore.

He definitely couldn’t go pick her up on a whim; in China, he was far more noticeable than Bae Juhyun.

Although Red Velvet had many fans, compared to the other Chinese female celebrities participating in the show, their fans were really negligible.

If Bae Juhyun went out discreetly, the chance of being recognized was quite low.

It was just that Liu Xin’an didn’t want Bae Juhyun to walk at night alone.

Although Shanghai was very safe, it would still be troublesome for Bae Juhyun, a young foreign girl, to walk alone in the middle of the night.

It seemed like all men didn’t want their girlfriends to walk alone at night, and Liu Xin’an was no exception.

His girlfriend had such a good figure and was so beautiful! What if she met some bad person?

Better safe than sorry!

"I’ve already moved into my new place, when are you planning to come over?"

If it was the first time Bae Juhyun was coming over, he planned to pick her up near the hotel.

Actually, his new home was right next to the hotel. This time was mainly to help Bae Juhyun know the way. Going forward, he’d let her come over by herself.

If it wasn’t too late, even during the daytime, the journey was still very safe.

Soon, a reply from his girlfriend came through.

"After eleven."

"What?????"

The five question marks were enough to indicate Liu Xin’an’s urgency. What was this about? How could she come over so late?

"Why the question marks? Are you trying to get caught by Taekyon oppa?"

"It’s too late, don’t come over."

"What?????"

This time, it was Bae Juhyun’s turn to send question marks.

Recently, she had gotten better at using Chinese internet slang. A few days ago, he had seen her send him "s.b" in English letters.

At that moment, he was completely dumbfounded.

It was definitely that group of troublemaking friends who taught her that!

Liu Xin’an could almost see his girlfriend’s bewildered face through those question marks.

He sighed with a smile.

"Alright, you can come over tonight. I’ll pick you up, just let me know what time."

"I can come by myself, you don’t need to."

"Just this once, I really can’t rest easy. Otherwise, don’t come over." Liu Xin’an didn’t leave any room for negotiation, he arched his eyebrows and typed out the line.

"What!!!!!"

These five exclamation marks vividly expressed Bae Juhyun’s feelings at the moment.

Soon, she sent a kaomoji.

"（˚ཫ˚）"

This emoji also signified her surrender. Liu Xin’an had to admit, when he got serious, he still carried a bit of authority.

"Can’t believe you threatened me <(｀^)>"

Liu Xin’an was at a loss for words. Why had she suddenly taken a liking to using kaomojis?

"Why are you using these? I’ve never seen you use them before."

"You never pay attention to me (╯︵╰)"

...That emoji was quite effective. Liu Xin’an could almost picture Bae Juhyun making that exact expression.

Yeah, super cute!

"Not chatting with you anymore, I’m off to dinner with Taekyon oppa."

This time, Bae Juhyun sent a plain message without any emojis, probably because she was already on her way?

With this guess in mind, Liu Xin’an replied with an "ok" and didn’t continue the conversation. Instead, he controlled his mouse, planning to stream for a while.

However, before he could start, his phone on the table began to vibrate intensely.

He picked up the phone and, after seeing the caller ID, showed a helpless expression.

"Didn’t you say you’d come over yesterday? Why didn’t you?"

The caller was Li Chenglu, who had been clamoring to come over since before the variety show started. He hadn’t seen her yesterday, and Liu Xin’an meant to ask, but got too busy and forgot.

Now that she called, he remembered.

So as soon as he picked up the call, he asked her.

Li Chenglu didn’t answer immediately, caught off guard by his question.

"I had something come up last minute. I can come over the day after tomorrow... But that’s not important, what’s going on with you?"

Liu Xin’an was also stunned.

"Me? What’s up with me? What could be going on with me?"

Had he unknowingly caused some drama again?

No way, he had significantly reduced his streaming recently.

"You don’t know? Did you go public with Irene?"

"...What?"

"Check online yourself. The photos are out. But I must say... the photos are quite well taken. The paparazzi this time are really talented...."

Before Li Chenglu could finish raving, Liu Xin’an hung up the call, rushed to open Bilibili on his computer, and simultaneously opened Weibo on his phone.

After inputting both his and Bae Juhyun’s names, a beautifully shot photo quickly popped up.

Liu Xin’an’s eyes widened, his face filled with shock.

"Whoa...shit."

The classic Chinese curse word slipped out of his mouth unconsciously. If Bae Juhyun had been there, she would have recognized it immediately.

This "Whoa...shit" conveyed his astonishment.

It wasn’t a curse word, honestly~
