Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?-Chapter 1302 - 559: Speculating the Mastermind, and Uncle’s Little Plot
Isn't it just asking Bae Juhyun to perform on stage with Park Jinyoung? It's a small thing, really, and it's a great opportunity to showcase the skills of their S-M artists.
S-M has already agreed, so Park Jinyoung turned his attention to his own nephew.
Initially, Liu Xin'an agreed to Park Jinyoung's request on the condition of not performing on stage, only singing together and filming an MV. But now that Bae Juhyun has been brought on board, the reality show featuring Liu Xin'an and Bae Juhyun is likely to be released around November.
Nephew, nephew's girlfriend, and himself being Park Jinyoung, plus the couple drawing a lot of attention with their reality show...
Wouldn't it be fun to bring all these key points together at that time?
Yes, for a performer like Park Jinyoung, accomplishments aren't as important anymore.
He's more focused on fully enjoying the stage and providing his audience with the perfect visual and auditory experience.
When it comes to sound, he can deliver perfectly to the audience.
As for visuals... that's up to his nephew.
However, although they don't spend much time together, Park Jinyoung knows his nephew's personality inside out.
He knows that any additional requests now will surely be rejected by Liu Xin'an, so he decided to call in reinforcements!
Liu Xin'an, who was lounging at home playing games, was taken aback by the violently vibrating phone on the table.
He glanced at the caller ID, paused the game, and nonchalantly picked up the call, putting it on speaker.
Anyway, he was the only one home, and Bae Juhyun was busy working overtime every day for her new album, with a reality show with him still to be filmed.
It's tiring, but Bae Juhyun really enjoys being busy.
Hmm... wonder what's gotten into her all of a sudden.
"Mom, what's up?"
"Will we be able to see you on TV in a few days?"
Of course, he won't be on TV, but his mom is good at casting screens; to her, anything on the TV screen equates to being on TV.
She even watches Liu Xin'an's streams on TV.
Ah, also screen-casting.
As for the barrage comments... turn them off, they mess with the mood.
"Hmm... you're talking about the group reality show with Juhyun and the others, right? It'll be on in a few days, Chenglu will be there too."
His mom's interest in his work makes Liu Xin'an both touched and embarrassed.
The first time he heard that his mom watched his streams, he was really annoyed.
It always felt like something particularly embarrassing, like back when he got some modest fame but didn't show his face, and college classmates asked for his small platform ID and he got too embarrassed to tell them...
Just one of those things he finds hard to talk about.
Even after all these years, he remains the same.
"Not that, that's not on TV, is it?"
His mom's response caught Liu Xin'an by surprise. He hadn't expected that his mom, who always equated screen-casting with being on TV, had wised up this time.
...Something's not right, really not right.
Li Chenglu?
What's the purpose here?
In an instant, Liu Xin'an's mind raced with thoughts, but his expression remained calm.
"So, mom, what do you mean..."
"Your uncle, he's going to be on TV, right, to perform."
During those few days back in Korea, she had attended many performance events organized by Park Jinyoung to listen to music and gain insight.
So now she's very familiar with how it's done.
Moreover, this call was made at Park Jinyoung's request, with the same purpose as before.
The mention of his uncle left Liu Xin'an even more bewildered, and after a moment of being stunned, he exclaimed "Ah~" as if realizing something.
"That has nothing to do with me, I've only committed to recording with him and filming the MV, performing on stage doesn't concern me."
"How does it not concern you? You're already involved, and it doesn't concern you? Your uncle isn't letting you on?"
"No, it's just that I don't want to participate, mom, don't really consider me a star. I saw you post on WeChat saying you have a celebrity son... I'm not one!"
This topic always leaves Liu Xin'an full of grievances.
Teasing himself as a somewhat famed artist was just a self-deprecating joke.
The scary part is that people actually took it seriously.
He's just an nobody, an artist without any works!
His claim to fame... was getting a diva for a girlfriend, and if that's considered his work, he might as well own up to it.
"Just go up there and have fun, your dad and I want to see you on TV."
"If you want to watch, go ahead, but don't drag dad into this."
"I want to see it."
His father's emotionless voice rang out, leaving Liu Xin'an with black lines: "Dad, if mom's forcing you, blink."
"You're actually blinking!"
"No, I just got something in my eye... you guys chat, I'm going to find old Li."
His mom's growl and his dad's guilty reply had Liu Xin'an laughing uncontrollably on the phone.
Park Jinsuk also found her husband's guilt and her son's laughter to lighten her mood. She chuckled, then her tone became stern again.
"It's a rare opportunity, give it a try, both your godmother and I want to see you seriously on TV."
"...The problem is, even if I join uncle, you and my godmother won't be able to see it. We don't have that channel, and it's not easy to search online."
These days, it's not hard to browse online, but both young ones aren't home. He's abroad, and as for Li Chenglu... he didn't ask, but from his recent posts, he seems to be in France.
Simultaneous interpretation has its perks, like getting travel opportunities on company expense, which Bae Juhyun is quite envious of.
Ah, but it's only envy; she's not equipped for it, and she's well aware of her own limitations.
"Have Chenglu set it up for us."
"...Something's not right, mom, did someone ask you to convince me?"
"Hey, are you suspecting your own mother?" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
"Yes!"
Anyway, with mom being back in the country, he's not worried at all!
