Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?-Chapter 1118 - 498: Liu Xin’an’s Respect (2)

The unlucky one naturally turned out to be Liu Xin'an.

"Let's consider it my treat!"

Liu Xin'an hadn't finished spending money yet; right after he scanned the code, he heard the bright and generous voice of his girlfriend.

That amused him.

"This should count as my treat, right?"

"Shoo, shoo." Bae Juhyun pushed Liu Xin'an away like she was shooing a fly. With just a bit of force, she pushed him out, then gave Feifei a sweet smile while playfully blinking her eyes.

Considering Bae Juhyun and the others were filming, Feifei and Old E didn't hang around for too long. Feifei was indeed interested in Red Velvet, but they didn't want to stir up any trouble with the fan community.

So after they got the two cups of cold drinks that Liu Xin'an treated them to, the two took the opportunity of touring Xiamen to leave the shop.

Of course, they would definitely come back once the fan meeting started in the evening.

This time Liu Xin'an didn't obliviously follow Old E and Feifei. Although he did enjoy chatting happily with Old E about games...

"Sigh~"

"Oh? Seems like you really don't want them to leave. Was working with us not fun?"

Son Seungwan keenly noticed Liu Xin'an's mood change. She stood by, arms crossed, and spoke provocatively.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you trying to stir things up?"

"Feeling guilty, huh! Guilty!"

"Come on, don't say that. Have you decided what to sing?"

This was something Liu Xin'an had wanted to ask about during lunch but seemed to have forgotten. It's still timely to ask now.

"Hm, Chenglu recommended that we sing a song called 'Encounter.'"

"'Encounter' huh..."

It's impossible for Liu Xin'an not to have heard of this song. He might not be interested in the entertainment circle, but back in the early 2000s, he was in middle school, the prime age for embracing new things.

It was a song played everywhere back then; not knowing it would actually be strange.

Though this song...

"Xin'an has heard this song too?"

"It's a very famous piece, but is the song's mood suitable for newlyweds?"

"Hm, we listened to the song last night. It sounds super good, doesn't it fit?"

Li Chenglu nearby also glanced over. She placed the cup of milk tea into the sealing machine, then wiped her hands and came over: "It's not like it's a wedding song; singing 'Encounter' and having a big group sing-along could be nice."

"When you put it that way, maybe we should consider 'Love Confession Balloon'?"

"Juhyun's tone color singing 'Encounter' is really good."

Liu Xin'an imagined Bae Juhyun holding the microphone, singing seriously, then, quite on impulse, nodded earnestly and gave a thumbs-up.

"Great suggestion!"

The group listening and lost in clouds suddenly showed puzzled expressions, but inside the shop, a couple of customers seemed to sense something.

"Uh, is Irene going to sing a Chinese song this time?"

Yesterday, Son Seungwan sang a Chinese song; her perfect performance offered the fans an excellent audio-visual feast.

Today... could it be Bae Juhyun?

This unexpected fan interaction made everyone instinctively turn to look at the fan.

Under the gaze of all five members of Red Velvet, this seemingly young fan instantly blushed, slightly opened their mouth, showing an expression of wanting to say something but totally nervous to utter a word.

Bae Juhyun and the others were quite familiar with such situations, and quickly displayed a friendly demeanor.

When the fan's excitement subsided a little, they finally dared to speak again.

"Is Irene going to sing 'Encounter'?"

"That's the plan, but keep it a secret from everyone~"

Bae Juhyun began using her beauty to 'mesmerize' the fan, making them nod repeatedly, almost swearing they wouldn't tell a soul.

"We... We look forward to it!"

"Thank you~"

After sending off the brave little fan, Bae Juhyun and the others stopped discussing the song choices for the fan meeting tonight.

Keeping it a big surprise for the fans is essential; leaking the setlist now would take away the fun.

Everyone quickly returned their focus to cold drink preparation.

However, Bae Juhyun didn't stay in the shop all the time.

Since they've already decided to sing 'Encounter,' earnestly learning the song is very necessary.

This makeshift fan meeting stage doesn't have high-end tools like teleprompters; Bae Juhyun, an artist with high standards for stage performance, wouldn't want anything to go wrong with her solo performance.

Forgetting lyrics or singing the wrong words—those sorts of mistakes absolutely cannot happen!

The song's Chinese lyrics aren't difficult, and recently, having a knack for Chinese, Bae Juhyun appreciated the song's excellent lyrics as she learned.

"Love takes several turns before it arrives..."

She murmured the line as her gaze drifted to Liu Xin'an, who was deeply immersed in listening to the song.

Learning a Chinese song certainly required someone who truly understood Chinese, and naturally, this task fell to Liu Xin'an.

It was said before, no one can resist the gaze filled with emotion from Bae Juhyun.

There's no way Liu Xin'an wouldn't notice the look in her eyes.

He returned her gaze, his face showing an excited expression.

"Sounds great, right?"

Nowadays, watching foreigners react to Chinese culture with amazed expressions is a trending video format.

Probably it's a form of cultural recognition? Or maybe it's just a simple delight in seeing foreigners astounded by something exotic?
