Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?-Chapter 1109 - 495: Because I Can’t Bear to See You Cry

He gazed tenderly into the eyes of the woman who made his heart flutter, and spoke from the heart.

In an instant, the fans, who had been decently quiet, erupted.

"Holy shit!"

"Brother An is so damn smooth!"

"Is this really something I get to see for free?"

"Oh my god, if I were Sister Bae, I'd probably burst into tears."

...

Liu Xin'an's sudden confession left Bae Juhyun stunned, and then she bit her red lips, her beautiful eyes wide open. But no matter how hard she tried to control it, she couldn't stop her eyes from getting misty.

She felt her heart beating so fast, that kind of happiness spread through her whole body from her rapidly beating heart.

Fortunately, Kim "Emotion Destroyer" Yerin came in clutch once again.

She noticed that Bae Juhyun wasn't acting right. If Bae Juhyun really started crying out of emotion at this point, it would totally become a stage mishap.

Stage mishaps aren't a huge deal, but the aftermath of Bae Juhyun's mood would definitely be an issue.

This sister cares too much about saving face; she's the type who would suppress laughter even if she really wants to laugh on stage.

If she were to end up crying in front of so many people now... I guess Bae Juhyun would be depressed to the point of losing her appetite for two days.

"What the heck, just look at me and Joy crying, okay?!" Kim Yerin expressed her discontent indignantly, and her voice snapped Bae Juhyun out of the romantic trance.

She hurriedly turned her back, afraid that her embarrassing side would be seen by the fans.

At that moment, she was immensely thankful that the stage wasn't so professionally set up, not even with a big screen dedicated to their close-ups.

"Just kidding, just kidding, no fun if you take it seriously."

Liu Xin'an also caught on to Kim Yerin's signal, and he coordinated with her to retract the romantic atmosphere they had just created. As for the romance, they'll have plenty of time to do that slowly after today's fan meeting is over.

In front of so many people...

That fan was right; this indeed isn't something you get to see for free.

A slightly composed Bae Juhyun calmed down and didn't dare even let her gaze fall on Liu Xin'an this time.

His gentle voice seemed to echo in her ears as she lifted the cake and looked towards Kang Seulgi.

Kang Seulgi hurried over to insert the candles.

The chosen candles were two number candles: 2 and 9.

Yes, Liu Xin'an was turning 29 this year, almost on his way to 30.

And after the candles were set, an awkward situation arose.

"Where's the lighter?"

Bae Juhyun whispered to Kang Seulgi, only to be met with her confused expression.

This was awkward, but fortunately, Li Chenglu, who had been watching them closely, keenly noticed their panic. She put down the microphone and casually pulled a staff member, soon securing a lighter.

Then, her long legs, which made Bae Juhyun drool with envy, came into play.

"Here's the lighter."

She handed the lighter to Bae Juhyun, who finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With a "click," the orange flames rose from the numbers "2" and "9".

"Happy birthday to you~"

"Happy birthday to you~"

"Happy birthday dear boss~"

"Happy birthday to you~"

The bilingual birthday song rang out as Bae Juhyun held the cake and walked toward Liu Xin'an. This time, she didn't avoid his gaze but instead gave the man she loves a beautiful smile.

"Happy birthday, dear~"

"Hoo~"

———

The fan meeting lasted only about an hour, so Liu Xin'an couldn't steal the show and take up too much time.

So after blowing out the candles, Liu Xin'an hugged his birthday cake and quickly exited the stage, leaving it to Bae Juhyun and the others.

Now composed, Bae Juhyun returned to being the perfect artist who enchanted countless fans. She playfully interacted with the fans and then performed their third song "Power Up" for the event.

This was a stage that Liu Xin'an seldom watched; he had almost rewatched all of Bae Juhyun's performances, and taste is a subjective thing.

This song "Power Up" wasn't one Liu Xin'an was particularly fond of.

He glanced at the cake set aside, thought for a moment, and then picked it up.

Leaving it there, he was always worried about potential mishaps, like knocking it over or something else.

So he decided it was better to store the cake in the shop for safekeeping.

He definitely couldn't eat it now; if he didn't let the women have their share first, he could guarantee that he'd face their angry glares when Bae Juhyun and the others wrapped up their stage performance.

Especially Kang Seulgi, he caught her sneaking gulps multiple times on stage just now.

Eh?

Now that he thought about it... if he hid the cake and then, after the fan meeting, told them he had already shared it with the staff, Bae Juhyun and the others would certainly have some hilarious expressions...

As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Liu Xin'an swiftly dismissed it.

This sort of playing-with-fire idea was a bit too much; he didn't want to turn his birthday into his death anniversary on the same day...

After safely putting the cake back in the fridge, Liu Xin'an breathed a sigh of relief and leisurely headed back to the scene.

As soon as he returned to his previous spot, he was met with a very familiar tune.

"Waiting for the night to fall, fireworks aren't perfect."

"Memories turning to ash, still waiting for the end."
