Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?-Chapter 1058 - 478: Essential Tasks Before Meeting the Giant Panda_2

After confirming Liu Xin'an's location, Kim Yerin laughed cheerfully: "Mr. Translator, want to join us for a bite?"

Since it wasn't an issue to appear on camera together, Liu Xin'an didn't refuse. He shrugged, grabbed a bowl for himself, and made a dipping sauce.

As a northerner, the core of his dipping sauce was definitely sesame paste, followed by some random other things.

With lingering fear, he glanced at the spicy pot closest to him and silently prepared to eat from the tomato pot.

But...

Which one of the people present isn't one to hold a grudge?

They all clearly remembered how Liu Xin'an colluded with Lee Yeonju to prank them.

Kang Seulgi and the others might let it slide, but Bae Juhyun felt no internal pressure at all.

She looked up at her boyfriend, flashed a pretty smile, and pretended to be puzzled, asking: "Not going to try the spicy one?"

Liu Xin'an froze, then shot Bae Juhyun a "You're trying to get me" look.

As someone from Tianjin, his ability to handle spicy food was probably the lowest at the table.

Bae Juhyun was very aware of this, yet she still wanted him to try the spicy pot...

He really wanted to refuse, but it wasn't just Bae Juhyun and the others who wanted to see this scene.

Once the program aired, the fans would definitely want to see him make a fool of himself too.

In the end, Liu Xin'an took a deep breath.

No big deal, just dip more sesame paste to suppress the spicy flavor...

"The first bite should be authentic, right?"

Kim Yerin's seemingly unconscious statement made Liu Xin'an widen his eyes once more.

In disbelief, he looked at Kim Yerin next to him, who gave him an adorable smile in return.

The escape route was completely cut off.

There was no way out. Liu Xin'an held his breath, decisively stuffing that piece of beef into his mouth.

In an instant, beads of sweat poured down his face like rain, his rapid breathing and eyes gradually misting up evidenced his awkwardness.

The spiciness was way beyond his tolerance.

He quickly got up, ran to the side to grab a bottle of water, and started rinsing his mouth.

His embarrassing appearance made everyone burst out laughing, though Bae Juhyun didn't laugh hysterically, mostly because Liu Xin'an's reaction genuinely startled her.

But fortunately, Liu Xin'an soon returned.

He constantly wiped the sweat from his forehead with a tissue, with a helpless smile on his face.

"It's really too spicy, I can't handle it at all."

"Xin'an, you ought to practice eating spicy food more often. You can't handle spicy at every meal, it's such a mood killer."

"There's nothing I can do, my hometown isn't really into spicy food, it's rare to find regular dishes with spice."

"You're from Tianjin, right?"

This time no one forced him to eat from the spicy pot, so he contentedly enjoyed the tomato pot and nodded his head.

"Yes."

"Is there anything delicious?"

It was Kang Seulgi who asked, she identifies Chinese cities based on their food, although... she actually can't remember much.

"Our breakfast is a bit more diverse, and we have snacks as well. If there's a chance in the future, I'll invite you to try our specialties."

...

The hot pot was indeed delicious, but eating hot pot really does affect female artists' on-screen appearance.

The smell clings to you, and more importantly, it makes you sweat a lot.

Especially Kang Seulgi and Kim Yerin, who were eating right next to the spicy pot.

It was really satisfying, but also really hot.

Because it was quite embarrassing, Lee Yeonju temporarily stopped filming to let Bae Juhyun and others tidy up a bit.

Once they were sorted out, filming resumed.

After the hot pot was removed, the production team brought each person a glass of liangfen (clear jelly noodles).

The sweet, syrupy liangfen nicely balanced out the greasiness from the hot pot, and it was cool, really refreshing in the heat.

Seeing everyone continually complimenting it, Lee Yeonju continued to talk about the plan for tonight.

"Let me explain tonight's mission."

The word 'mission' made everyone focus.

"We're not exactly in the most central, bustling area of Chengdu right now, but soon we'll be taking you to a place called 'Chunxi Road'. As we understand, there will be a random dance filming event celebrating your eighth debut anniversary tonight."

"Oh~"

It's rare to see girl group events in China, so Chinese fans always organize these activities to gather Red Velvet enthusiasts together.

In fact, it's more than two months until their actual eighth debut anniversary, but the event is usually held in advance. The recorded video will be released when they officially reach the anniversary.

"Are we going to participate? As a surprise for the fans?"

What could be more exciting for the fans than having the idols show up at the random dance event?

Just thinking about the scene made Bae Juhyun and the others unable to contain their excitement.

"Yes, but there's more to it than just that."

Lee Yeonju gave a mysterious smile.

What she said next was the real task for Bae Juhyun and the others.

"You have to wear masks and outfits that won't reveal your identities, pretend to be dancers attending the event, perform at the event, and not be recognized to complete the task."

"Successfully perform one song without being spotted, and a member will get a chance for a close encounter with a giant panda tomorrow. Two songs, two members... and so on. If all five songs go unnoticed, then all members will have the opportunity to meet a panda tomorrow."
