The first day of shooting was successfully completed, and on the second day, Liu Xin’an had much less work to do compared to the first day.
When the official show is broadcast, except for the first day, the content of the nine days before the performance will all be edited into one episode, and the team leaders like them will definitely not have much screen time.
No filming pressure did not equate to slacking off. Early in the morning, Liu Xin’an got up and went to the hotel restaurant for breakfast. As soon as he sat down and lifted his head, he saw Seong Taekyon with a surprised look on his face.
It was hard to say if this guy was waiting here on purpose, but since they met, Liu Xin’an certainly wouldn’t pretend not to see him.
He smiled and nodded, considering it a greeting.
Seong Taekyon looked pleasantly surprised, holding his tray and coming up to him, politely asking, "May I sit here, Mr. Liu Xin’an?"
"Oh, of course, please have a seat."
After all, this was his girlfriend’s manager. Although the other party didn’t know about his relationship with Bae Juhyun yet, Liu Xin’an still wanted to leave a good impression if possible.
"Mr. Liu Xin’an, you are up early. Is today’s filming schedule heavy?"
Liu Xin’an stirred the porridge in his bowl with a spoon and shook his head.
"Today’s schedule isn’t heavy; just making an appearance will do. The artists are the ones working hard. We, as ordinary team leaders, can’t really help much." Read full story at novel•fire.net
"Don’t say that, you did a great job as the MC yesterday. Have you ever studied professional hosting?"
"No, I just consulted some experienced people for this job." Liu Xin’an said modestly. It could hardly be considered studying, though he did go to many variety show filming sites to learn by observing.
In fact, in a certain sense, what he gained from this on-site learning might be better than what he’d have gotten from systematic study.
"You are too modest. Seungwan was very grateful for your care yesterday. She might be unfamiliar with facing the camera alone, especially since everyone was speaking in a language she doesn’t understand. We are really grateful for your help."
"It was just a small favor." Liu Xin’an kept a straight face, afraid that if he wasn’t careful, he might burst out laughing.
Son Seungwan unfamiliar with facing the camera?
He clearly saw Son Seungwan return to her usual state when they were eating hotpot last night.
If she were still nervous, how exaggerated would Son Seungwan look when she wasn’t nervous!
The more Liu Xin’an thought about it, the funnier it seemed, so he simply looked away and used the restaurant’s surroundings to forcibly distract himself.
However, in Seong Taekyon’s eyes, Liu Xin’an’s effort to hold back his laughter seemed like he was looking for something.
Looking for... looking for...
Remembering Liu Xin’an’s behavior during the recording yesterday, Seong Taekyon’s eyes lit up.
Was he looking for Irene?
"Hmm... Irene is still resting in her room. Unlike Wendy, she doesn’t have many filming tasks. After all, her main role this time is promotion."
The familiar name of his girlfriend caught Liu Xin’an off guard. He instinctively glanced at Seong Taekyon, and upon seeing the smile on his face, he awkwardly grinned.
"I’m not looking for Irene..."
"Right, right, I understand." Joking aside, Liu Xin’an had been so adamant in his denials during recording, there was no way he would admit it so openly now.
So Seong Taekyon cooperatively agreed with Liu Xin’an’s words, even nodding seriously afterward, displaying a "don’t worry" expression, successfully rendering Liu Xin’an speechless.
Suddenly, he felt like everything in this world was interconnected. In the past, he had jokingly referred to Kang Seulgi as a "crazy Girls’ Generation fan."
Now, inexplicably, he had turned into a crazy fan of Bae Juhyun.
Fine then, becoming a fan of his own girlfriend wasn’t something particularly embarrassing... except when it came to Bae Juhyun herself.
No doubt, she would definitely use this to tease him, so Liu Xin’an just hoped Juhyun hadn’t seen yesterday’s recording scene.
But looking at Seong Taekyon’s expression now... even if Juhyun hadn’t seen it, this manager would probably excitedly tell her all about it.
Great, Liu Xin’an suddenly felt a wave of darkness in front of his eyes.
Quickly finishing his breakfast, Liu Xin’an held his tray and politely smiled at Seong Taekyon, "I’ll be off now, Mr. Seong Taekyon. See you around."
"Alright, take care."
After placing his tray back where it belonged, Liu Xin’an breathed a sigh of relief, patted off imaginary dust from his clothes, and then returned to his room.
Once Liu Xin’an left, the first thing Seong Taekyon did was call Juhyun, who was still asleep in her room.
"Mmm... Taekyon oppa, what’s going on?"
Bae Juhyun’s soft, drowsy voice asked Seong Taekyon groggily, mixed with an undertone of irritation.
She only went to sleep close to dawn last night.
And to avoid disturbing Liu Xin’an, she didn’t even tell him she had insomnia.
The sleeplessness was naturally due to envy. She envied those female artists to the point of losing sleep. Bae Juhyun really wanted to appear on screen with Liu Xin’an openly.
"I just ran into Liu Xin’an at the restaurant. No doubt about it, he must be your fan!"
"..." Bae Juhyun admitted, the name of her boyfriend cleared most of her drowsiness away.
