Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?
Chapter 98. "Because my girlfriend will get jealous" (Asking for first order!)

Chapter 98: 98. "Because my girlfriend will get jealous" (Asking for first order!)

A song lasts just over three minutes.

When the music faded away and the familiar voice echoed throughout the stadium, Liu Xin’an finally snapped out of his daze.

He looked up at the big screen, at the person he knew so well, and forced a stiff smile.

To be honest, Liu Xin’an didn’t quite know how to describe his feelings.

Angry?

Happy?

Or perhaps... elated?

Maybe it was all of these, or maybe none at all.

He didn’t understand his current feelings because the situation was too absurd, like something out of a poorly received novel.

The girl beside him, who had been screaming like crazy since the song started, seemed to calm down. Liu Xin’an thought so initially until he turned to ask more details about this... Red Velvet. Then he noticed the girl sitting next to him was in tears.

Tears... streaming down her face?

That’s quite exaggerated, isn’t it?

Could it be that one of the people on stage was her ex-girlfriend?

Just like he suddenly found out that the girlfriend he’d been dating for half a year was actually a celebrity?

The girl’s crying was indeed quite extravagant. Liu Xin’an pondered for a moment, then finally took out a pack of tissues from his pocket.

Carrying tissues was a good habit of Liu Xin’an, and he didn’t expect they would be used to wipe a girl’s tears this time.

Of course, he wouldn’t wipe her tears himself; after all, his girlfriend was nearby... in a sense.

"Thank you..."

"Um... why are you crying so hard?"

"Red Velvet has really had a hard time. Last year, we finally got an amazing song, but before Wendy could perform it live, she had an accident..."

"Wendy?"

Liu Xin’an was puzzled. He didn’t know Wendy.

"After Wendy finally recovered, Irene was framed by bad people... This is their first stage in nearly a year."

"Irene?"

Alright, Liu Xin’an only seemed to know someone named Seulgi in the group.

Yes, not only did he know her, but he even drank with her.

"My poor sisters, they’ve had such a hard time."

"Calm down... I have something I’m really curious about."

"Mm..." The girl, who was still crying profusely, sniffled and reluctantly nodded, looking at Liu Xin’an.

"Are you sure you’re okay now?"

"Yes, go ahead. Is it about my sisters?"

"Yes, is there someone named Bae... a Bae in the group?"

After a moment of thought, Liu Xin’an didn’t directly mention the name Bae Juhyun. He wasn’t sure if it was real.

Since he didn’t know Wendy or Irene.

There were only two people in the group he hadn’t met, so it couldn’t be that coincidental, right? The two names this girl mentioned were the two people he hadn’t met?

If it wasn’t a coincidence, it meant that Bae Juhyun or Son Seungwan might be using a stage name.

But soon, the girl’s answer cleared up his confusion and ruled out the possibility of a "stage name."

"Bae? You mean Bae Juhyun, who goes by Irene. Irene is Juhyun’s stage name."

"Uh..."

Liu Xin’an showed a complex expression.

After dating for more than a month, this was the first time he heard his girlfriend’s stage name from someone else.

But Irene... it’s quite a nice name.

"Is Wendy a stage name too?"

"Our Seungwan has endured so much~"

Not mentioning it was fine, but at this point, the girl who had calmed down a bit started crying again.

Liu Xin’an took a deep breath and silently distanced himself from the girl.

He began to suspect if something was wrong with her mind.

Ah, the Wendy issue was resolved too. So Son Seungwan was Wendy...

Liu Xin’an felt a door to a new world slowly opening before him.

---

"Phew..."

After two songs, there would be a long break for changing outfits and makeup.

Overall, the time allotted was more than sufficient.

Which meant...

"Afraid to look?"

Kang Seulgi glanced at Bae Juhyun, who was staring at her phone like it was something terrifying, and teased her.

During the performance, due to their positions, Seulgi had seen her sister tremble several times.

She was even worried that her sister might fall during the performance, but fortunately, everything went smoothly... Ah! It wasn’t over yet. There was another stage before the concert ended.

Bae Juhyun forced a stiff smile, thought for a long time, and finally chose to turn off her phone.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to see it or didn’t dare; she simply couldn’t.

No matter what, another stage awaited them.

What kind of answer Liu Xin’an would give her... Even if she wanted to check, she had to wait until all the performances were over.

She couldn’t allow her emotions to affect her performance.

Bae Juhyun slapped her face, trying to shake off all those distracting thoughts, but her frequent glances at her phone betrayed her true feelings.

"If you ask me, just look at it. I don’t think Liu Xin’an would just walk out on you for deceiving him. And even if he did, you could always go to his place at night."

Among the five members in the group, apart from Bae Juhyun, Liu Xin’an’s official girlfriend, Kang Seulgi had the most contact with him.

Of course, having more contact didn’t mean she completely understood Liu Xin’an. It just meant that the interactions she had suggested Liu Xin’an wasn’t the impulsive type.

He was reasonable.

Moreover...

From the beginning, Kang Seulgi didn’t think Liu Xin’an would be angry with Bae Juhyun over this.

Uh... lying was indeed bad... But if you think about it, every lie Bae Juhyun told was to prevent her identity from being exposed.

Other than that, Bae Juhyun hadn’t lied about anything.

As a public figure himself, Liu Xin’an should understand Bae Juhyun’s situation.

"Sigh... Seulgi, I’m so scared."

Son Seungwan, who had been eavesdropping, came over. She clung to Kang Seulgi’s shoulder and looked pitifully at Bae Juhyun: "Maybe we should check if he’s still there?"

"No, no, don’t worry about me. No matter what, the important thing now is to finish the stage!"

Bae Juhyun anxiously covered her ears, shaking her head vigorously. She ended up hitting her forehead with her long hair, letting out a pitiful yelp.

Her silly and adorable actions made Son Seungwan and Kang Seulgi burst into laughter.

But they obediently stopped asking about Liu Xin’an and instead waited for their turn to change makeup and outfits.

---

The concert lasted a total of four hours.

But after Bae Juhyun and her teammates disappeared from the stage, Liu Xin’an lost interest in the rest of the performances.

After asking the Red Velvet superfan next to him, he learned there would be another stage at the end. Liu Xin’an decided against leaving early.

To be honest, he didn’t think he would see Bae Juhyun tonight...

After seeing the radiant Bae Juhyun on stage, he suddenly understood what she had been busy with in recent days.

Just endless rehearsals and practice, surely. Liu Xin’an knew from experience that big award shows required multiple rehearsals before the live broadcast.

Furthermore, Bae Juhyun’s revealed identity clarified some previous doubts he hadn’t paid much attention to.

Like why Bae Juhyun, despite being very busy, always managed to come back at crucial moments.

And why she always seemed to "dislike" celebrities.

And why she was so reluctant to go out on dates.

Indeed, when Bae Juhyun led Kang Seulgi and the team on stage, the audience’s screams shocked him.

With such popularity and recognition, it would be impossible not to be recognized if they went out together.

...Wait a minute.

Liu Xin’an gulped, his expression growing complicated.

Hadn’t he shown off in front of Bae Juhyun that he was an internet celebrity with over 5 million followers...

Remembering this, Liu Xin’an covered his face in frustration, looking down and letting out a series of bitter laughs.

Well, that was embarrassing.

Luckily, he had an optimistic personality. Embarrassing was just embarrassing!

What was wrong with being embarrassed in front of his girlfriend!

Having adjusted his mindset, Liu Xin’an sat back down. Since he wasn’t interested in the current performers, he openly played with his phone.

Now that he knew his girlfriend’s other identity, as her boyfriend, there was no way he wouldn’t find out more about her.

The internet really was a wonderful thing.

As soon as he typed "Irene" into the search bar, a long list of results popped up.

Liu Xin’an looked through them one by one. Apart from entries related to Irene and Red Velvet, the most eye-catching was "Irene bullying staff."

Bullying?

The kind of bullying he understood?

Bae Juhyun?

Liu Xin’an knew his girlfriend’s personality, who tended to hit people when agitated, but Bae Juhyun was not a child. And knowing she was a performer now, it was even more unlikely.

An adult, an artist, was unlikely to do something so rash in public, right?

Even he, with a few million followers, always watched what he said on his live streams... He really couldn’t call himself a big streamer in front of Bae Juhyun...

As even he was cautious during streams, how could Bae Juhyun do something so foolish?

Feeling a bit exasperated, Liu Xin’an clicked on the post to read through the whole incident.

He didn’t expect to find the whole truth in one post.

But after learning about it, he finally understood why he was so "lucky" to meet Bae Juhyun when she was at her lowest point.

All their little encounters kept replaying in his mind.

Liu Xin’an subconsciously smiled softly.

He was lucky, and in a way, Bae Juhyun was lucky to meet him too.

"Hey, are you looking up things about Irene?"

The sudden voice from beside him snapped Liu Xin’an out of his thoughts.

Liu Xin’an instinctively turned off his phone screen and looked curiously at the girl who had regained her composure.

Seeing Liu Xin’an look at her, the girl gave a somewhat shy smile.

She looked quite young but was a pretty cute girl; otherwise, Liu Xin’an wouldn’t have kindly offered tissues when he saw her crying so miserably.

Ahem, he just offered tissues! He had good manners.

"If you’re interested, I can send it to you."

The girl, feeling better, took out her phone and hinted that she could share her contact information with Liu Xin’an.

Of course, her blushing cheeks revealed more than that.

Contact information...

Liu Xin’an froze, then smiled and shook his head, putting his phone away.

"Sorry, I can’t take other girls’ contact info."

"Huh?"

Liu Xin’an spread his hands, his smile growing even softer.

"Because my girlfriend would get jealous."
