Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?-Chapter 1104 - 493: A Stage Belonging Only to Chinese Fans

Although this isn't a professional dance practice venue, they're not beginners at these dances either. Even though they subjectively can't remember most of the dances, familiar memories rush back when they watch videos of themselves performing in unison.

Before their hearts could settle, their bodies reflexively began to move.

Behind every stage is days and nights of practice, hundreds and thousands of times, so even if they haven't practiced for a long time, their bodies are still crystal clear on these dance moves.

Liu Xin'an and Li Chenglu were the first batch of audience members for the fan meeting this time.

The synchronized dance moves excited Li Chenglu, who cheered as a fan, while Bae Juhyun and the others playfully blew kisses and made heart signs at Li Chenglu, treating him as an audience for the moment.

As the music wrapped up, Li Chenglu, who had been watching the performance, couldn't help but exclaim, "As expected, Red velvet on stage is unbeatable."

"Does that mean we're not Red velvet when we're not performing?"

Son Seungwan asked with a playful defiance.

Li Chenglu feigned deep thought, and after a moment, sighed regretfully.

"Hey, what are you sighing about!"

"If I didn't record with you all, I'd think you're Red velvet even off stage."

"So what you mean is..."

"Off stage, you're not much different from us." Li Chenglu teased, making everyone laugh.

They admitted it; without cameras, who would want to keep up appearances?

Take Son Seungwan, for example; she's fun, lively, and outgoing in the group variety shows.

But in private, she's not as lively and cute as she appears on camera — she's actually quite serious! 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Well... that's how she sees herself.

Li Chenglu had already shared his thoughts, and then everyone's eyes uniformly fell on Liu Xin'an, who was earnestly preparing cold drinks for them.

Perhaps the stares were a bit too heated; Liu Xin'an felt them and quickly raised his head, giving two thumbs up.

"G... Red velvet is the best!"

"Wait!" Kim Yerin keenly heard the "G" sound before their group's name.

"G?"

Cold sweat streamed down Liu Xin'an's face as he imagined Bae Juhyun and the others performing (G)i-dle's "Tomboy."

He quickly answered before finishing his imagination.

Lucky for his quick reaction because calling out the wrong name could have caused big trouble.

Not to mention that Bae Juhyun would likely get really mad and refuse to speak to him for days.

"I misspoke for a moment. The songs chosen this time are all old ones. How about 'Feel My Rhythm'?"

Liu Xin'an's explanation didn't make the others overthink it, and Bae Juhyun smiled as she explained to her boyfriend, "Let's save the newer songs for the day after. We've owed our Chinese fans quite a lot of performances and want to show them all these stages."

"Wow, if these words get out, fans will cry."

In terms of doting on fans, Bae Juhyun is quite famous.

Even such a seemingly ordinary sentence, Liu Xin'an felt, could become a lasting and warming remark for Chinese fans.

"It's not that exaggerated."

"By the way... didn't you prepare any Chinese songs?"

Liu Xin'an originally wanted to ask if they could sing songs from other groups, but a strong survival instinct made him swallow the words right back as he was about to say them.

"Seungwan can sing Chinese songs."

"What about the one you practiced before?"

"That's for the day after tomorrow."

The fan meeting arranged on short notice sort of backstabbed the 50 lucky ones for the day after.

So giving those 50 lucky fans a bit of welfare is quite necessary.

Like letting them hear the meticulously prepared Chinese song in advance.

They've learned quite a few Chinese songs for this event.

"Alright then, good luck tonight; I'll handle the store."

Liu Xin'an patted his chest confidently and reassuringly said.

He continued making the cold drinks that would soon be served to customers, while Bae Juhyun and the others resumed seriously revisiting their old dance moves.

...

Because Seong Taekyon had already distributed the wristbands for confirmed lucky audience members, there wasn't a crowded situation nearby the beach.

Bae Juhyun does have quite a few fans, but the total number in Xiamen is still limited.

Moreover, these fans who already received wristbands can use them to enter directly later.

So the time from 6:30 to 8:00 was considered their dinner time.

Interestingly, Bae Juhyun and her spontaneous idea also brought a lot of customers to nearby shops on this beach.

Unintentionally, they've won over a wave of fans.

Hmm... in a way, a wave of career-oriented fans.

But compared to the fans who could still eat and rest and patiently anticipate the upcoming performance, Bae Juhyun was much more hardworking.

Busy from noon till now, apart from some fruits, they hadn't eaten anything else.

Ah! To be accurate, except for Kang Seulgi, everyone hadn't eaten much.

But Kang Seulgi is naturally someone who gets hungry easily, and the cake she ate already had its calories burned off.

Before going on stage, one can't eat, so at this moment, everyone was somewhat hungry.

Fortunately, they were long accustomed to hunger; during the toughest times, they even experienced eating only a little gimbap for an entire day.

That time was much harder than now.

"It's about time, and fans have started to enter orderly."

The stage setup had been completed while they were reviewing the dances, and Seong Taekyon, wearing headphones, heard the staff talking, turning to look at the members who had changed into stage costumes and re-applied makeup, quietly nodded.

"Kids, it's time to go on stage."

Bae Juhyun got up, calling the members together.

They instinctively put their hands out, stacking them up.

With a clear and crisp shout from Bae Juhyun, five stacked hands swiftly lifted up.

"1...2...3...fighting!" X5

This was their routine energizing before each stage.

A simple phrase seemed to have magic, granting them endless courage and confidence.

Thus, the stage genuinely belonging to Chinese fans, also Red velvet's first fan stage in China, officially commenced.
