Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?
Chapter 66. Stolen Kiss

Chapter 66: 66. Stolen Kiss

Perhaps boys are naturally good at playing the scoundrel, and when Liu Xin’an, a tall and handsome guy, played the scoundrel, it would indeed leave people speechless.

After getting Bae Juhyun’s response, he finally put the girl down.

Having regained contact with the sofa, Bae Juhyun quickly got up and ran to a distance far away from Liu Xin’an after escaping his embrace.

"Hey, you promised you wouldn’t get angry."

Liu Xin’an was frustrated. Why was she being unreasonable?

Bae Juhyun also laughed. Although her long hair was slightly messy due to their interaction just now, this dishevelment added a chaotic beauty to her already excessively delicate appearance.

"You played the scoundrel first, why can’t I back out?"

Liu Xin’an pouted, stood up, his tall stature still quite intimidating.

At least now, Bae Juhyun was truly freaking out inside.

It was proven that the length of one’s legs played a decisive role in the success of an escape.

She managed to run only less than half a circle around the sofa before Liu Xin’an caught her by the shoulder.

Well, now there was no escape.

Bae Juhyun resignedly let go of all her strength and leaned into Liu Xin’an’s arms.

"No more messing, I’m tired."

She had just taken a bath and did not want to break into a sweat again.

Liu Xin’an did not continue to hassle Bae Juhyun but let her nestle into his arms.

The movie continued playing, and Liu Xin’an, having been distracted by Bae Juhyun’s antics, stopped looking at the screen and gently tended to the messy long hair in his arms.

"I need to tell you something."

He suddenly remembered the message he received before the broadcast today and decided to seek Bae Juhyun’s opinion after thinking it over.

The matter was simple: during his last live stream, someone named Snow Cat had donated 1000 sc and invited him to create a food video together.

If it had been a private invitation from Snow Cat for a meal, he would have declined without a second thought, as it wouldn’t be appropriate to dine with another woman now that he had a girlfriend.

However, the issue was that Snow Cat had invited him under the pretense of filming a video together.

He initially refused and even mentioned that he had a girlfriend, but Snow Cat didn’t seem to harbor any strange intentions. Instead, upon learning this, she excitedly invited both him and Bae Juhyun to come over.

With such an invitation, it would be somewhat disrespectful to refuse.

Thus, he used consulting his girlfriend as a pretext and did not respond to Snow Cat right away.

And now, that was exactly what he intended to do.

Liu Xin’an’s words made Bae Juhyun instinctively sit up from his embrace, she casually took a throw pillow, hugged it, and leaned back against the back of the sofa, indicating with her eyes for Liu Xin’an to go on.

"Uh... remember that girl I showed you last time? Do you remember her?"

Bae Juhyun paused, then nodded, narrowing her beautiful eyes.

Why bring this up?

"I remember. You said she’s a foreign student here and also a video blogger, right?"

"Right, a few days ago during my live stream, she gave me 1000, which is roughly about 20k over here..."

"Oh~" Bae Juhyun responded in a peculiar tone, making Liu Xin’an somewhat embarrassed.

"Cough, listen to me. I originally planned to donate back to her when she broadcasts someday, but then she invited me to film a collaboration video with her, a food video."

"And then you agreed."

"How could I." Liu Xin’an saw Bae Juhyun’s dissatisfaction. Naturally, anyone would be discontented in such a situation, so he quickly tried to appease her by pulling her into his arms.

Hugging her soft body indeed made him more relaxed.

Bae Juhyun was unhappy, but not too angry.

At least Liu Xin’an was now honestly telling her about it instead of acting first and informing later, which would have been outrageously inappropriate.

And she wasn’t caught in the act!

However, just as Liu Xin’an feared, such matters would unsettle any girl, and she was no exception.

Thus, she hid her hands behind her back, preventing Liu Xin’an from holding them.

"I initially refused outright and told her I had a girlfriend, and a very beautiful one at that."

The tone seemingly meant to cajole a child made Bae Juhyun unable to suppress a smile. She smiled, her eyes curving, and reached out to pinch the man’s cheeks disapprovingly.

Liu Xin’an, who was in great shape, had skin that even she was envious of, probably due to his excellent metabolism from working out, which kept his skin in such good condition.

Anyway, she really liked pinching Liu Xin’an.

"Don’t overdo it—do you think I’d be happy because of such words?"

If the smile on her face while speaking wasn’t so obvious, perhaps her words would have been more persuasive.

But now...

Liu Xin’an saw through it but did not comment, letting her pinch his face until she realized he had more to say and let go, allowing him to continue speaking.

"After I finished speaking, she also invited you."

This time it was Bae Juhyun’s turn to widen her eyes.

"Ah? Me?"

"Yes, I already mentioned I have a girlfriend here, so she casually suggested I bring you along too."

"You... you introduced me to your friends?" Bae Juhyun struggled out of Liu Xin’an’s embrace and then, under his puzzled gaze, nervously asked.

"Uh... no, I just said I have a girlfriend, what’s up?"

Bae Juhyun finally sighed with relief; she didn’t think Liu Xin’an’s friend would be as clueless about her identity as Liu Xin’an was.

It’s good that it wasn’t exposed... She had not yet thought about what to do if her identity were accidentally revealed.

"I’m not ready to meet your friends yet, can you give me some time?"

Knowing that her panic had puzzled Liu Xin’an, Bae Juhyun had no choice but to take the initiative and throw herself into his arms, wrapping her arms around his neck and cooing.

Did Bae Juhyun know how to act coquettishly? The answer was definitely yes.

As an artist, especially a female idol, acting coquettishly was essentially a required course in their profession.

Uh... although for some artists it was a difficult skill (referring to Son Seungwan), she still knew a bit of it.

And having such a beautiful girl acting coquettishly so closely and affectionately immediately made Liu Xin’an beam with joy.

Liu Xin’an didn’t think much about why Bae Juhyun was nervous just now; moreover, since Bae Juhyun had explained herself, he didn’t harbor any suspicions.

"In that case, I’ll refuse then."

"No, no, no, just go by yourself, it’s no problem for me!"

What a joke, she definitely didn’t want to give Liu Xin’an’s friends the impression that she was unreasonable.

Go! She must go! She was all too familiar with these kinds of work-related interactions with the opposite sex.

And, if nothing unexpected happened in the future... she would encounter many of the same scenarios Liu Xin’an was facing now.

If she couldn’t let Liu Xin’an go out now, how could she have the face to let him accept her job later?

"Eh? Really? You don’t mind?"

"Why would I mind, isn’t this your job?"

Experience as an artist had indeed endowed Bae Juhyun with many useful skills.

Likewise, the skill of maintaining a joyful expression while feeling incredibly sour inside.

She too wanted to appear on screen with Liu Xin’an... but due to reasons concerning her identity, this "first time" had to be graciously handed over to someone else...

But no worries! There were many other "first times" she could have with Liu Xin’an!

"So... you want me to go and shoot with her?"

"Yeah, go ahead, it’s your job, right? I believe in you."

Bae Juhyun nodded, let go of her arms, and then quietly rested her head on Liu Xin’an’s shoulder.

"Our Juhyun is really a beauty with a kind heart~"

"Cut it out."

"You understand?"

"You taught me, didn’t you? I’m not a fool!"

Annoyed that Liu Xin’an considered her a fool, Bae Juhyun grabbed his large hand and angrily left another set of teeth marks on it.

This time, she wouldn’t soothe him with a massage as her heart was too sour.

Liu Xin’an smiled wryly, withdrew his hand, and rubbed it himself.

He never saw Bae Juhyun as a fool.

As the two chatted idly, the movie ended.

Liu Xin’an had missed most of the ending, but movies were something he could find and continue watching anytime, whereas time spent with Bae Juhyun was irreversible; he knew very well which was more important.

It was now late, and given that there were two eager siblings at his home, even if Bae Juhyun was reluctant, she had to stand up and use the elastic on her wrist to retie her loose hair.

"I need to go back now, they’re probably worried about me."

"Worried about what? Am I the kind of person who does bad things?"

This remark upset Liu Xin’an, recalling all the times Bae Juhyun had put herself at ease around him and how he had never done anything strange or unexpected.

Bae Juhyun smiled and gently held Liu Xin’an’s cheeks.

It was fortunate that she was wearing a tight-necked short-sleeved top today, otherwise this gesture could have led to an unintended reveal in front of Liu Xin’an.

Of course, Liu Xin’an, who fancied himself a gentleman, would never do something odd like sneak a peek!

After all, Bae Juhyun was his girlfriend, and he could look openly if he really wanted to.

"They don’t know you well, don’t be upset, okay?"

His face being held by Bae Juhyun meant he could only express his displeasure by looking away.

But...

"Mwah~"

The moist sensation on his cheek made Liu Xin’an’s eyes widen.

Immediately after, he quickly turned to look at Bae Juhyun, who was now blushing and gaping in disbelief.

That sensation just now...

Bae Juhyun pursed her lips, flashed a cute smile, then turned and ran off.

This time Liu Xin’an was too stunned to react immediately, only coming back to his senses when he heard the sound of the front door closing. He then belatedly touched his cheek where Bae Juhyun had kissed him.

Then, as if bewitched, he brought his hand to his nose.

Immediately after, a suppressed but excited laughter echoed through the quiet living room.
