Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?-Chapter 923 - 433: Liu Xin’an: I’m Just a Spectator!!
"Mr. Liu Xin’an?"
"Ah... Hello everyone, I’m here for a visit."
Liu Xin’an quickly snapped out of his initial shock, flashed a bright smile, and curiously greeted the staff while observing them.
"Is Mr. Liu Xin’an going to perform on stage today too?"
"Huh? Me?" Liu Xin’an found a spot that wasn’t too much in the way to sit down. Before he could adjust his posture, a curious query made him look up instinctively, "I came today as an audience member, but suddenly coming backstage, I must be quite the bold audience."
His self-deprecating response elicited a series of pleasant laughter throughout the backstage lounge.
After spending a year with Bae Juhyun, Liu Xin’an had gained a lot in terms of self-confidence.
... It’s inevitable, after all, when his girlfriend is Bae Juhyun, how could he not be confident?
If he had a tail, it would be wagging high up in the sky!
Compared to last year’s timid demeanor at the big award ceremony, today’s Liu Xin’an could gracefully and fluently respond to everyone’s curiosity under the curious gazes of so many.
"It would be great if someday we could see a duet dance between Mr. Liu Xin’an and Irene on stage."
"Ah... To be honest, I’m personally very interested in that, but my dancing has been harshly critiqued by Seulgi before."
"What did Seulgi say?"
"She said my dancing resembles the futile struggle of a dying person, giving off a feeling that’s both desperate and terrifying."
"Oh! Now I’m even more interested."
"... What kind of taste is that? I’ll have to tell them later that there are some strange folks among their staff."
"Hahaha."
As a host, Liu Xin’an’s eloquence was definitely not lacking.
Liu Xin’an soon blended well with Bae Juhyun’s group of staff.
Of course, everyone were adults and understood the boundaries.
With the reappearance of the junior assistant who had initially brought Liu Xin’an over, the stylists, who had been chatting and relaxing, all tactfully put down their phones and began to prepare for work.
Their seriousness reminded Liu Xin’an that Bae Juhyun and the others had probably finished rehearsing, entering the most tedious phase of makeup and styling preparation.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, dressed in sportswear, Kim Yerin was the first to push open the door to the lounge, excitedly rushing in.
"Oh? Sis... Brother Xin’an!"
The playful term "brother-in-law" was certainly something to be used privately; Kim Yerin wouldn’t mess around in front of so many people.
Her sweet "Brother Xin’an" was quickly picked up by the few who entered behind her.
Among them, the third to enter was Bae Juhyun, whose eyes lit up, and once in, her beautiful eyes fixed intently on Liu Xin’an.
Just when Liu Xin’an thought he would receive a beautiful smile from his girlfriend, unexpectedly, the five members of Red Velvet surrounded him.
Before he could open his mouth to ask in confusion, Son Seungwan was the first to speak.
"What’s all this then, how is there a junior with no sense running into the senior’s lounge? Who’s your manager?"
"Exactly, exactly." came Kang Seulgi’s voice.
Park Sooyoung, with a blank expression, looked at him with indifferent eyes, the odd demeanor giving Liu Xin’an goosebumps: "Are the new juniors all this rude nowadays?"
And just a moment ago, the sweet "Brother Xin’an" uttered by Kim Yerin was replaced with a sudden change in expression, as she lifted her chin, seemingly aiming for a haughty stance?
Finally, it was his dear girlfriend who rounded it off.
The usually cheerful and smiling woman now wore a small stern face, the charming smile replaced with a cool expression.
Along with that came her frosty voice.
"Why don’t you greet your seniors when you see them?"
At this, Liu Xin’an finally understood what they were up to, and with a blend of laughter and frustration, pointed at himself.
"... Are you talking about me being the junior?"
"Exactly, exactly!" Kang Seulgi confirmed.
"Didn’t you just recently join a show with our Juhyun sis? You should know your place, junior. It was your first time on our variety show, right?"
Liu Xin’an had no intention of not playing along. He nodded honestly, cooperating with their little skit.
Then he wore a terrified expression, his previously straight back slouching down, taking on a frightened appearance.
"My sincere apologies to the seniors, I should leave now."
Finishing his lines, he bent down and backed away, squeezing past Bae Juhyun.
After all, Bae Juhyun was watching, and he didn’t want any physical contact with other women, even if they were good friends of his.
Especially since they were Bae Juhyun’s sisters.
His cooperation brought about clear laughter from everyone, with Park Sooyoung, who had worn the coldest expression just moments earlier, laughing most exaggeratedly as their leader.
Bae Juhyun, too, pressed her pink lips, and after Liu Xin’an squeezed past her, she quickly grabbed Liu Xin’an by the arm.
While it was indeed funny, seeing her boyfriend looking so pitiful, her heart as his girlfriend felt uncomfortable.
Yes, she was the first to not want to continue playing along.
"Alright, let’s stop messing around."
"What’s this, it was clearly Juhyun sis who wanted to tease him, and now you’re the first to not be able to hold it."
Bae Juhyun was too lazy to respond to her sisters’ remarks; she glanced at Liu Xin’an, taking in his entire look, and after a flash of satisfaction showed in her eyes, she noticed the bulky coat placed aside.
