Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?
Chapter 882 - 419: Three Questions
"It’s not that I don’t want to answer; it’s just that... there were so many similar situations. Back then, we hadn’t made it public, and she always thought of wandering into my livestream now and then. It happened more than once."
"What are you talking about? There’s not that many, at most two or three times!"
"Two or three times isn’t many?"
Bae Juhyun cutely tilted her head and innocently asked, "Is it a lot?"
Normally, Bae Juhyun has a very elegant middle-part hairstyle, but today she unusually brought out her bangs, reducing some of her goddess-like vibes and adding a touch of a lively girl-next-door feel.
Bae Juhyun showing such a cute expression inevitably drew praise from everyone.
"Such a beautiful child."
Being suddenly complimented, Bae Juhyun bashfully smiled with her lips pressed together.
She covered her mouth with her hand, cleared her throat softly, and then raised two fingers.
"2:0!"
The camera cut to Liu Xin’an, sharply capturing the helplessness on his face.
"Next is the third question." Bae Juhyun said with her lips pressed, her gaze fixed on Liu Xin’an.
Before she could speak, Lee Soogeun suddenly interjected, "She’s mad, Irene is mad, right?"
Indeed, Bae Juhyun, who was a bit upset, found herself less angry after Lee Soogeun’s playful comment.
However, Lee Soogeun wasn’t wrong; she was indeed somewhat angry...
She felt awkward because the second question was such a simple gift question, yet Liu Xin’an didn’t get it!
"Uh... A little bit."
"Oh~ Xin’an, you better be careful when you go back, you didn’t get a single one right."
"He’ll definitely get the last one right."
Bae Juhyun, pressing her lips together, thought for a moment, then lifted the question card to cover her mouth, subtly mouthing a threat to her boyfriend.
"Wait! Are you warning Xin’an?"
Bae Juhyun put down the card, returning to her usual obedient demeanor, her eyes smiling as if she hadn’t just done anything.
"No~"
"Xin’an, you saw it too, she threatened you, right?"
Liu Xin’an broke into a sweat, unsure whether to nod affirmatively or pretend nothing happened.
After a few seconds of silence, he nodded vigorously.
"Go ahead, ask, I’ll get it right!"
"What, are you scared?"
Ignoring everyone’s banter, Bae Juhyun said, "I once did something I regret terribly. What was it?"
The question left everyone momentarily stunned.
No one was more surprised than Liu Xin’an himself.
As for the answer, he guessed it the instant Bae Juhyun asked.
They had been together long enough for him to know when Bae Juhyun showed vulnerability and regret.
Once, it was after the concert ended, she missed his message and dashed back from the concert venue.
Then there was...
"Correct answer." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
This time Liu Xin’an didn’t consider any show effects, clearly seeing the remorse and guilt on Bae Juhyun’s face. To prevent his beloved woman from showing that expression again, he chose not to play dumb.
"Xin’an."
Hearing Bae Juhyun call his name, Liu Xin’an stood up with a gentle smile, softly saying, "Was it the time when you accidentally forgot my birthday?"
"Hmm, that’s right."
Bae Juhyun nodded, her eyes slightly red.
Whenever she brought up the situation, she couldn’t help feeling remorseful and guilty.
Noticing Bae Juhyun’s emotional shift, the MCs quickly moved to the next question.
"Irene, did you accidentally forget Xin’an’s birthday?"
"Um..." Bae Juhyun knew she couldn’t cry at this moment, so she sniffed, trying to calm her emotions, "Yes, I accidentally forgot."
"Ah... it certainly is something you’d feel guilty over."
"By the way, wasn’t this hairpin given to you by Xin’an?" Trying to shift Bae Juhyun’s focus, Kim Heechul, who knew more about the couple, interjected.
However, his diversion wasn’t very effective.
Bae Juhyun, having barely suppressed her guilt, felt it wash over her again. She took a deep breath and nodded.
"Yes, it was a birthday gift from Xin’an."
"It’s really beautiful; Xin’an has excellent taste."
Liu Xin’an just smiled and nodded, choosing not to say much about the birthday gift to avoid stirring up Bae Juhyun’s emotions.
"What was the specific situation? You didn’t just forget on purpose, right?"
"Um..."
"Let me explain." Liu Xin’an took the responsibility, walking over to Bae Juhyun and gently patting her back, supporting her in this way.
"Actually, it wasn’t her fault. At that time, we both had a lot on our plates. I had to shoot a variety show and Juhyun had to cooperate with our shoot, as well as prepare for her comeback. We were so busy, neither of us noticed this matter."
"Strictly speaking, she didn’t really forget my birthday. By the time she remembered, my birthday hadn’t passed yet."
"Ah? Why is this?"
"It’s a cultural thing; we’re more used to celebrating Lunar birthdays rather than the current Gregorian calendar birthdays. I was born on June 21, 1993, but this year my birthday falls on July 6."
"Ah~ the Lunar calendar."
"Yes, so it can’t really be considered forgotten; she just put too much pressure on herself."
Liu Xin’an’s voice, warm with a bit of concern, made Bae Juhyun feel much better. She fanned her face with her hand as if using an imaginary fan.
"At that time, I didn’t know he celebrated Lunar birthdays. When I realized, June 21 had already passed, so I thought I missed his birthday... Fortunately, someone reminded me that Xin’an doesn’t celebrate like us with the Gregorian calendar, so I managed to give him a belated birthday gift."
"Oh? What birthday gift did Xin’an receive then?"
Liu Xin’an hesitated for a moment before his expression turned awkward.
"I didn’t bring it with me."
"Ah~ I see, it’s something that’s not convenient to bring around."
Since Liu Xin’an said so, the MCs understood it probably wasn’t something suitable for public discussion and didn’t press further.
Indeed, if he brought up the thing about the ring... it could easily be misunderstood by fans.
It’s better to keep a low profile in such matters.
