Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?
Chapter 84. Bae Juhyun — Hidden Maniac

Chapter 84: 84. Bae Juhyun — Hidden Maniac

There’s no such thing as a perfect person in this world, and Liu Xin’an firmly believed that.

He was no exception, as he could easily list a myriad of his own faults.

And Bae Juhyun was no exception either.

However, one thing Liu Xin’an couldn’t understand was why she looked so beautiful even when hitting someone.

Because he had exposed Bae Juhyun’s secret, the girl’s delicate little fist made extremely intimate contact with his chest.

As a result, Liu Xin’an ended up coughing awkwardly.

Then he obediently shut his mouth and honestly watched the TV drama with Bae Juhyun.

After watching for a little while, Liu Xin’an finally understood why he had been hit, and why it had been so severe.

This was a show called "Goblin", which actually had almost nothing to do with goblins.

—— The handsome uncle in the TV show would never acknowledge the identity of the "goblin" no matter what.

The difference from what he had expected was too great!

Complaining aside, the drama was pretty good.

After one episode, Liu Xin’an generally understood the true genre of the TV show.

"So it’s a romance drama," said Liu Xin’an, smacking his palm as if he finally got it.

Bae Juhyun, sitting beside him, had a dismayed expression. She bit her lower lip gently and reached out to touch the spot on Liu Xin’an’s chest where she had hit him.

"Does it still hurt?"

"It hurts, the kind that takes your breath away."

"Don’t exaggerate!"

Bae Juhyun lightly tapped the man’s arm in annoyance, but then tenderly rubbed it with her soft hand.

She swore it was just a reflex action, realizing that her character trait of reacting violently when irritated indeed needed to change.

... If Kang Seulgi heard this, she would probably go berserk with her. After getting hit so many times, every time she had criticized Bae Juhyun, her sister had never listened.

How come after hitting Liu Xin’an once, she suddenly felt she needed to change this habit?

Was such differential treatment even possible!

One episode of a TV drama is quite long, especially "Goblin".

After finishing one episode, it was almost midnight without them realizing it.

Bae Juhyun had to get up early tomorrow to go to the company, so she couldn’t stay there any longer.

"I should go back, I need to get up early tomorrow."

The moment she got up, a wave of tiredness made Bae Juhyun involuntarily cover her mouth and yawn softly.

Seeing this, Liu Xin’an smiled and pulled Bae Juhyun, who had already stood up, back into his arms.

After fully feeling the presence of the girl in his arms, Liu Xin’an reluctantly let go.

"Are you going to be busy all day tomorrow too?"

"I’ll be busy recently. If I don’t come back, I’ll let you know in advance. Seulgi’s place is very close to the office; I might stay over there."

The "Seulgi’s place" mentioned here was actually the dormitory, but she definitely couldn’t tell Liu Xin’an directly about the dorm.

It’s hard to explain.

"Okay, let me know in advance when you’re coming back too, and I’ll prepare a feast for you."

"You?" Bae Juhyun looked at Liu Xin’an skeptically; apart from muscle-building meals, could this guy cook normal food?

"What about me, if I can’t cook, can’t I go out and buy something?" Liu Xin’an said with a laugh, irritated—he might not know how to cook, but he had money!

Liu Xin’an’s "money power" left Bae Juhyun speechless. Rolling her eyes at him, she turned and left him with a haughty profile.

"Goodnight then."

"Yeah."

———

After leaving Liu Xin’an’s electrifying residence, Bae Juhyun quickly fell into a deep sleep as soon as she got home.

After a comfortable night’s rest, the next morning at eight, she energetically drove to the company to begin another new day of practice.

Since she was currently jobless and with a concert approaching, she didn’t want everyone to think she was irresponsible and only focused on romance. Therefore, Bae Juhyun was prepared to see Liu Xin’an once every two days.

Since they had met yesterday and she had charged up enough, she believed she could last two days. If her "Liu Xin’an power" ran low tomorrow night, she could go back and recharge.

Of course, Liu Xin’an, who had no idea that Bae Juhyun had made a plan to see him every two days, had also just gotten out of bed.

Today his routine remained unchangingly gym—home—live streaming.

This familiar routine was something Liu Xin’an knew all too well, and due to his frequent visits, he had become a regular at the local gym.

There wasn’t much to say about working out. It was just a gathering place for buff men.

However, Liu Xin’an felt that there were more people working out here than what he had seen back in China.

Perhaps because fitness was a more popular activity here? Liu Xin’an himself didn’t quite understand it.

Incidentally, the video he had collaborated on with Snow Cat had already been released on Snow Cat’s account.

Up till now, there weren’t many who recycled old jokes, mostly because a lot of people knew about Liu Xin’an’s "impregnable" trait, so even though the handsome guy was appearing on the screen with the beautiful Snow Cat, most people in the barrage were spamming "hahaha" instead of "matched."

Of course, Liu Xin’an showing his face again after many days had still made the top page of the small broken station, which caused a sudden spike in viewers that afternoon.

What? Why was it only for a moment?

Because he wasn’t showing his face while gaming, and those who came for his looks left disappointed upon seeing an avatar of a cat.

Yeah, they didn’t even leave a comment, epitomizing freeloading to the extreme.

That afternoon, Liu Xin’an received a message from his girlfriend.

Since Bae Juhyun had already given him a heads up that morning, Liu Xin’an was prepared not to see Bae Juhyun that day.

However, when he actually found out, Liu Xin’an still felt an uncontrollable sense of loss.

Luckily, the scientific advancements of the 21st century had brought great conveniences to people.

Even though they couldn’t meet face to face, Liu Xin’an still saw his girlfriend’s pretty face at eight o’clock that night.

Well... on his phone screen.

Of course, it would have been even better if he could remove the girl named Kang Seulgi on the other end.

"We rely on you for our Juhyun today,"

he earnestly requested the girl who only showed half of her face on the screen.

The next second, laughter from Kang Seulgi that was not at all disguised and a shout from his girlfriend erupted in the phone.

"Hahahaha."

"Liu Xin’an, what are you saying!"

Liu Xin’an was also flustered. Couldn’t he ask Kang Seulgi to take care of Bae Juhyun? Was he not even allowed to say that as a boyfriend?

Actually, he could say that, but while saying it, he should somewhat consider the dignity of the people involved.

At least for Kang Seulgi, this kind of public display of affection would not make her feel envious or jealous; instead, it would earn his girlfriend’s merciless laughter.

But just as Liu Xin’an was thinking about whether to remind Kang Seulgi to keep the volume down, a dull thud made the world go silent.

After a few seconds of silence, Kang Seulgi’s pitiful voice finally broke the silence.

"Juhyun sis, that hurt."

"Out."

"Woo..." The pitiful Kang Seulgi, holding her forehead, gave Liu Xin’an a look that said ’good luck’ before she left.

And that look made Liu Xin’an swallow hard.

Don’t get it wrong; he was just scared.

The poor Kang Seulgi had escaped the claws, and that was the price she paid for her curiosity.

But Liu Xin’an was really in trouble; he wasn’t beside Bae Juhyun, so even if he wanted to ask his girlfriend to punch him to vent her anger, he couldn’t.

So, the quick-reacting Liu Xin’an immediately chose to admit his mistake, "Juhyun, I was wrong."

"...As if!"

Even though she knew he was trying to please her, hearing her boyfriend’s pitiful voice still made her feel a tad heartbroken.

It was this brief emotional change that greatly relieved Liu Xin’an on the other end of the call.

"How was your day? If your shoulders feel stiff, you could do some simple exercises to keep loose, you know."

"It was okay today, not as tiring as yesterday. I can be lazy sometimes and won’t always keep my nose to the grindstone... keep busy with things."

Looking at the beautiful smile reflected on the screen, Liu Xin’an’s heart skipped a beat.

"Bae Juhyun."

Bae Juhyun, who was tilting her head searching for something, looked towards the screen and her shimmering beautiful eyes captivated Liu Xin’an completely.

This was a sensation he never felt when they were face to face.

How can I put it, Bae Juhyun was indeed too beautiful.

"I miss you," he whispered, revealing his longing for Bae Juhyun.

And the girl on the other end of the phone, upon hearing these words, pouted her lips, showing a pitiful look.

Didn’t she feel the same?

The longing through the screen couldn’t transform into a warm embrace enveloping them both.

The phone call lasted until late at night, and seeing Bae Juhyun unable to keep her eyes open, Liu Xin’an hung up the phone, allowing her to sleep soundly.

However, the scene Liu Xin’an imagined of Bae Juhyun putting down the phone and going straight to sleep did not occur.

You must be joking; with five lively girls in the dormitory at night, were they supposed to use it for sleeping?

Bae Juhyun intended to lie down and sleep, but that depended on whether her sisters agreed.

Thus, with a resigned face, Bae Juhyun was dragged back to the living room by her sisters, and within less than fifteen minutes, she was red-faced, holding a wine glass, looking excited.

As for all this, Liu Xin’an, of course, was utterly unaware.

He honestly put down his phone, covered himself with the small blanket, and peacefully slipped into his dreams.
