Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?-Chapter 1098 - 491: Kang Seulgi: I Want to Sneak a Bite!
One of the female fans was scrolling through her phone while answering Kang Seulgi's questions in fluent English.
Kang Seulgi breathed a sigh of relief, thanked the fan with a smile, then skillfully weaved through the crowd of fans and started chatting to the camera following her: "Now we need to go to the cake shop to pick up the cake we prepared for Liu Xin'an, because today's Liu Xin'an's birthday..."
"Ah~ I have 100 yuan right now." She said, taking out a large red bill and waving it in front of the camera proudly, "Next is taking a taxi to the cake shop. Uh... it shouldn't cost more than 100 yuan for a round trip, right? Let's see if there's any money left to buy some snacks nearby."
She and Son Seungwan were always responsible for ordering and chatting with fans in the store, so unlike Kim Yerin and the others, they couldn't sneak a fruit piece every now and then.
Standing for over an hour, she was already starting to feel hungry.
You've got to fill your stomach before you can work harder, right?
Quickly, she flagged down a taxi.
Afterward, she showed the driver the address Bae Juhyun sent her, also not forgetting to converse with him in her awkward Chinese, "Please go to this place."
Seeing the beautiful Kang Seulgi, the driver looked twice, then cracked a teasing smile, "Foreigner?"
"Yeah, yeah, I'm a waiguoren~"
"Alright, let's go."
"Let's go~"
I have to say, seeing the goofy Kang Seulgi making such cute gestures can truly make one's heart melt.
Though there was a language barrier, Kang Seulgi still managed to chat happily with the friendly driver uncle.
Fragmented Chinese mixed with fragmented English actually made their conversation quite enjoyable.
She even managed to express her desire to try out some delicacies to the driver uncle through gestures and mimicking, resulting in him giving her an address.
"Thank you~"
"Welcome to our country, hope you have fun here."
The driver said smoothly in English, probably due to previous experiences with foreign guests.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Politely waving goodbye to the driver, Kang Seulgi lifted her gaze to the cake shop and hurried inside.
The bell rang as usual, but this time there were more people in the store compared to before.
Last time Bae Juhyun came here with Kim Yerin, but Kang Seulgi didn't come along.
Fortunately, the employee working behind the counter was the same one who met Bae Juhyun and Kim Yerin yesterday.
The employee recognized her at first sight.
"Red Velvet's Seulgi?"
Hearing the staff call her name, Kang Seulgi quickly nodded.
"Yes, yes, yes."
"You're here to pick up Miss Irene's pre-ordered cake, right?"
"Yes, yes, your English is really good, are you a student working part-time nearby?"
Kang Seulgi was amazed by the fluent English; she hadn't expected such a high level of English proficiency in Huaxia.
The employee smiled and nodded, and after taking the slip from Kang Seulgi, she said, "One moment," and turned to enter the cake refrigerator room.
In no time, she emerged holding a beautifully packaged cake and placed it in front of Kang Seulgi.
Kang Seulgi gazed at the cake that Bae Juhyun had meticulously selected, exclaiming, "So pretty~"
"This is the cake ordered by Miss Irene."
"Thank you. Can I just take this and leave?"
"Yes, if you won't be eating it right away, make sure to keep it in the fridge's cooler, since it's an ice cream cake. This will keep its texture optimal."
"Okay, got it, thank you."
"No problem."
Kang Seulgi picked up the cake, her eyes inadvertently falling on the other small cakes inside the counter.
She pursed her lips and swallowed a mouthful of saliva from her heart.
Then she took out the change she had left, noting that it only cost 18 yuan to come here by taxi, and with 20 yuan planned for the return trip, she had...
"Can 60 yuan buy a small cake here?"
She put the cake back down, her face showing an expectant expression.
Yes, this was her main goal for voluntarily helping Bae Juhyun pick up the cake... the reason being!
Snacking a little bit is the best!
...
That cliched scenario of not having enough fare for a taxi didn't happen.
Kang Seulgi managed to get off at the same place she boarded before with just the remaining 20 yuan.
Then, like a thief, she cautiously observed the small shop from a distance.
"Have Irene and Liu Xin'an come back yet?" Her fearful question made fans burst into laughter again.
Red Velvet is like a skit-like girl group; each of the five members has the potential to launch their own variety show.
Kang Seulgi is of course one of the outstanding ones among them.
"Not yet, Seulgi, did you go pick up the cake?"
The cake in Kang Seulgi's hand was quite conspicuous, hard to ignore.
"Is it someone's birthday?"
"Wait a minute, nobody's birthday is coming up recently..."
Fans were very familiar with their birthdays and knew no member's birthday was near.
However, there were more than just fans present.
"Is it Brother Xin'an's birthday? Brother Xin'an's birthday is in June!"
This water friend's reply made everyone realize suddenly.
Even Kang Seulgi could understand the specific Chinese term "Brother Xin'an".
She nodded with a smile, quickly feigning mystery: "Everyone, please don't mention it beforehand, it's our surprise for Liu Xin'an."
"No worries!"
"We won't reveal your secret."
"Seulgi, you also don't want your plans to celebrate Brother Xin'an's birthday to be exposed, right?"
With the fans' cooperative responses, Kang Seulgi finally relaxed, waving with a smile as she greeted them and headed back into the small shop.
"Got it smoothly?"
"Yeah!"
"Give me the money."
Kang Seulgi paused halfway to the counter, showing a bewildered expression while looking at Son Seungwan.
"What money?"
"I gave you 100, you didn't spend it all, did you?"
Son Seungwan looked incredulous, while Kang Seulgi's eyes wandered as she flashed a goofy, cute smile.
"The taxi was so expensive~"
"What? I checked! The round trip would cost at most 50!"
Trying to deceive Wang Sunsheng, the search master? Impossible!
