Chapter 698: 358. A Little Surprise (Thanks to Fantasy Feathers for the Silver Alliance Hierarch! 22/40)_2

After that, Liu Xin’an couldn’t get a word in the conversation. He wasn’t one of the protagonists in this Red Velvet comeback, so he just kept quiet, lurking and eavesdropping.

The late-night chat didn’t last long. Soon, under Bae Juhyun’s persuasion, Park Jinsuk decided to rest.

Bae Juhyun also went to wash up, preparing for the day’s work.

———

"I ordered some takeout, do you want some?"

When Liu Xin’an walked into his home, Li Chenglu was already up early, sitting on the couch watching TV.

Korea is a country with a large entertainment industry; even early in the morning, entertainment news is already being broadcast on TV.

And the news that could create the most buzz at the moment was, of course, Red Velvet’s new album that dropped last night.

"What did you order?"

"Soup dumplings."

"Sure."

Liu Xin’an didn’t stand on ceremony; he replied and yawned as he walked into the bathroom.

Soon, a refreshed Liu Xin’an emerged from the bathroom, just as Li Chenglu’s soup dumplings were delivered.

He plopped down on the couch, picked up a dumpling, dipped it in vinegar, and popped it into his mouth, raising an eyebrow slightly.

"Not bad, where’d you buy it?"

"I’ll send you the name... when are we leaving?"

Li Chenglu put down her chopsticks and shared the restaurant’s name with Liu Xin’an, tilting her head as she looked at him.

There was a fan signing event today, and as a hardcore fan, she naturally had to get there early. And she could also boost Bae Juhyun and the others’ sales by one...

No, make that two albums, because Liu Xin’an would be going too.

"The signing event starts at two... how about we leave at one?"

"If we leave at one, we’ll be in line until evening before it’s our turn."

Last year, when she found out Liu Xin’an and Bae Juhyun were in a relationship, she had actually attended another group’s signing event around here.

The massive crowd left a strong impression on her. This time, with Bae Juhyun’s success, if they arrived just in time, they might have to wait forever for their turn.

Even... it’s uncertain if they’d get a turn at all.

"Then... how about we go at twelve?"

"Yeah, don’t forget to tell Irene’s manager ahead of time. It’ll be awkward if we don’t get picked."

For a signing event, it’s not just a matter of showing up and getting a signed album. For a top-tier girl group like Red Velvet, the number of fans attending offline signing events is never small.

If they were to sign for all the fans on-site... even with multiple hands, it wouldn’t be enough for them.

So usually, S-M notifies fans about the venue for the signing event in advance. Fans go there to buy albums, and from those who purchase albums, lucky fans are drawn to attend the signing event.

If you’re lucky, you might get picked with just one album.

But if you’re unlucky... even buying dozens of albums might not get you picked.

However, it was slightly more convenient for Liu Xin’an and Li Chenglu. As long as Liu Xin’an mentioned it to Seong Taekyon, they could just use the back door... they barely had to buy many albums.

But as a boyfriend, Liu Xin’an had to support his girlfriend.

Besides, he planned to give away those albums during his livestream, which could also promote Bae Juhyun in another way.

"I’ll call Taekyon once we get there. No rush."

The afternoon was already earmarked for attending the signing event, so today’s afternoon livestream had to be pushed to the evening.

As for the morning...

"I’m going to work out."

"Bye!"

...

"Aren’t you going to wear a mask or something to hide your identity? You’re kind of a known figure around here, right?"

Looking at Liu Xin’an dressed in a shirt and casual pants, Li Chenglu thought for a moment and asked the question.

She wasn’t just flattering him; Liu Xin’an was indeed a public figure around here.

With his striking looks and humble personality, he had a small but dedicated fan base.

Of course, because of his association with Red Velvet, most of those who knew about him were Red Velvet fans.

But this time, they were heading to a Red Velvet signing event.

In such a place, with no disguise, Liu Xin’an had a high chance of being recognized by fans.

Just starting their comeback, the fewer unnecessary rumors, the better.

"A mask should be fine."

Liu Xin’an pulled a mask from his pocket and put it on, successfully covering his striking looks...

Well, not really.

His build and deep eyes could still easily give him away to those who knew him.

"Let’s not line up together; I don’t want people thinking there’s something between us."

Li Chenglu grinned; she had a group here, unlike the solitary Liu Xin’an!

Liu Xin’an shrugged, just as he preferred it.

The two got into the car and soon drove to the location S-M had announced for today’s signing event.

By this time, quite a few fans had already gathered in the mall for the event.

"Wow, so many people."

Admiring the crowd, Liu Xin’an parked the car and then followed Li Chenglu out.

"Hurry up and call Irene’s manager."

"Don’t rush, let’s get the albums first."

"Yeah, makes sense."

Without the albums, it wouldn’t be feasible to use the back door openly, so the two first went to an S-M authorized music store. After about ten minutes in line, they finally reached the store owner.

"I’ll take eleven... no, twelve copies of Red Velvet’s new album, please."
