Since Liu Xin’an and I are quite familiar, plus Son Seungwan is naturally outgoing, even in this solo interaction, she didn’t feel awkward.

"Have you seen our new dance?"

"I did, it looks dazzling."

Although when practicing, Bae Juhyun and the others always wore sportswear for ease of movement, Liu Xin’an could still discern the elegance in the dance moves.

"Like a princess, a princess."

"That’s the concept for the new song this time."

"It’s a different type from ’Psycho’..."

"Yeah, the concepts are different... Forget it, you wouldn’t understand even if I explained."

Seeing Liu Xin’an’s confused expression, Son Seungwan pondered for a moment and decided to give up explaining.

There’s not much point explaining to an outsider; Liu Xin’an watched, found it good, and that’s enough.

However, Liu Xin’an was left speechless by the ruthless sarcasm.

He glanced at the darkening sky outside the window, then looked at Son Seungwan lightly tapping her phone screen with her fingers, and suddenly spoke.

"I need to ask you something."

"What is it?"

"We’re about to hit our one-year anniversary, what do you think I should get Juhyun?"

Since Kang Seulgi’s advice was unavailable, he figured Son Seungwan’s would be accessible, right?

Besides, Kang Seulgi also suggested that he ask Son Seungwan for advice, and he was well aware that his girlfriend and this occasionally tomboyish woman had a very close relationship.

Even some fans formed a "Pink and Blue" couple with the two of them.

It feels so real, yet clearly he’s the male lead! He’s the rightful one!

"You’re asking me?"

"Yes."

Just as Kang Seulgi predicted, Son Seungwan’s attitude towards this matter was entirely different from Kang Seulgi’s.

She had been absorbed in her phone, now suddenly piqued with interest; her beautiful eyes lifted to Liu Xin’an, speaking excitedly: "Of course, propose, propose!"

"...Huh?"

Liu Xin’an was dumbfounded.

Mainly because... the idea seemed somewhat absurd.

"Propose, why not? It just aligns with your one-year anniversary; right then, you can slip on a ring for Juhyun and vow to never part. Ah! Remember to set the scene beautifully... I can sing the background music! Choose any song you like, even a Chinese song!"

Clearly, Son Seungwan was interested in this suggestion, perhaps too interested, causing Liu Xin’an a great deal of pressure.

"Isn’t proposing... a bit early? Besides, you all need to make a comeback, and there’s a whole year of activities next year."

Liu Xin’an’s response felt like evasion to Son Seungwan, as one of Bae Juhyun’s closest friends, she narrowed her eyes at him.

"You don’t want to marry Juhyun?"

"...That’s nonsense, they’re two different things." Liu Xin’an was exasperated, surprised that Son Seungwan could arrive at such a conclusion.

"I feel like proposing as an anniversary gift is wonderful, so romantic."

"Think of another."

Son Seungwan pursed her lips, propped her elbow on the table, and rested her chin on her hand. After thinking for a prolonged time, she finally offered a decently reasonable suggestion.

"Juhyun seemed to really enjoy the variety show you both were on last time, she might want to appear on screen with you more. If you have the ability, try joining a program with her?"

"A program?"

Liu Xin’an felt he was deceived into taking part in "Knowing Brothers" with Bae Juhyun, thinking this small request would be her last show wish.

Unexpectedly... the scenario he anticipated didn’t occur, instead she grew more interested in being on shows.

"Yes, how did you both perform on that show anyway? She certainly seemed to enjoy it."

"Uh... hard to say, but probably quite good."

"That means Juhyun enjoys boldly showcasing your affection on shows."

Son Seungwan was unequivocally sure of this, because... this person loves flaunting affection in the dorm.

People in love often exude an undeniable aura solely unique to romance.

It’s easily noticeable.

Not to mention, they’ve been living together daily due to constant commercial shoots.

"...On a show?"

"Yes, what do you think?"

Liu Xin’an was silent, ultimately shaking his head.

That part would have to wait; regarding shows, it’s more about waiting for feedback after "Knowing Brothers" airs.

If feedback is positive, audience acceptance high, and they truly wish to see more of them on screen, then contemplating subsequent show appearances could be worthwhile.

If feedback is negative... he resolves not to mention Bae Juhyun during live streams.

He cannot add inconvenience to Bae Juhyun’s life if he can’t be of further benefit!

"Think of another option? I’ll think..." Son Seungwan fell into thought, silent for quite some time, finally frowning at Liu Xin’an.

"Why not, ask Seulgi?"

"You think there’s a chance that Seulgi told me to ask you."

"Then I’m out of ideas too... this sort of thing you should prepare yourself, it’s not necessary to get Juhyun something she really loves, what gift would you personally want to give her?"

"...Eh?" This was a source Liu Xin’an hadn’t considered.

Quickly though, his eyes seemed to clear up as if enlightened.

Indeed! No need to dwell on what exactly Bae Juhyun might want; as Bae Jinhee remarked, Bae Juhyun is an independent person, she’d buy what she wants herself.

Instead of racking his brain over what his girlfriend might lack, he’d rather offer a gift filled with his heartfelt intentions.

Or perhaps... not just a material gift.

Realizing this, Liu Xin’an smiled with excitement, raising his hand to commend Son Seungwan without reservation.

"Seungwan! You’re so smart!"

"Naturally!" Son Seungwan expressed triumphantly, raising her hand for a high-five with Liu Xin’an.

As the sound of the high-five resonated, the room door swung open again, and Bae Juhyun entered, question marks all over her face.

"What are you two up to?"
