The opportunity for public funds eating and drinking shouldn’t be missed.
"If your girlfriend is okay with it, Xin’an, why not have Irene personally talk to her? She is from our country too, right?"
Seong Taekyon’s casual remark made both Liu Xin’an and Bae Juhyun freeze in their actions.
"Uh... she’s at work, it’s probably not very convenient."
"Ah, that’s okay. We can wait and contact her when it’s convenient for her."
In Seong Taekyon’s eyes, Liu Xin’an’s girlfriend was definitely a fan of Bae Juhyun, considering Bae Juhyun had even given him an autograph.
Since she’s a fan, she wouldn’t want to miss the opportunity to video chat with her idol, right? The most update n0vels are published on novel~fire~net
"Um... I’ll mention it to her later. She’s pretty shy..."
"I see. Well, as long as your girlfriend doesn’t misunderstand, let’s eat and enjoy. I heard this restaurant is particularly delicious."
Liu Xin’an sighed in relief; in any case, he managed to muddle through this situation for now.
Where was he supposed to find a "bamboo" for Seong Taekyon anyway!
After organizing all the evidence he had on hand that could prove his "innocent" relationship with Bae Juhyun, Liu Xin’an finally sent all these materials to his own account.
With these added documents, the storm stirred up by this incident gradually subsided.
However, this incident made Liu Xin’an’s fan buddies extremely excited.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, they ended up meeting many of Bae Juhyun’s fans.
A large portion of Bae Juhyun’s fans in China were female, while most of Liu Xin’an’s fan buddies were male.
The male fans got to know the beautiful female celebrity Bae Juhyun and were directly drawn in by her beauty.
Similarly, Bae Juhyun’s fans also got to know the handsome, down-to-earth "celebrity" Liu Xin’an.
Plus, Liu Xin’an’s values were quite upright; even as a streamer, he never crossed any lines, which made some of Bae Juhyun’s fans develop a good impression of him.
The two unrelated fan groups unexpectedly intersected due to this incident, which left Liu Xin’an both amused and exasperated.
After escaping the public scrutiny, Liu Xin’an threw himself back into filming again.
"Hey, An, how does it feel to be rumored with a big star?"
While stretching, Lu Xiao keenly noticed Liu Xin’an entering the room; her eyes lit up and she quickly teased the awkward-looking man.
Yes, that "godly photo" of Liu Xin’an and Bae Juhyun had long been seen by them, but due to timing, they missed being the first to gossip about it, which was a bit of a pity.
"Stop teasing me. How’s your practice going?"
Before any official response appeared, Liu Xin’an didn’t want the topic to dwell on him for too long; the focus of the show was the celebrities, not him as the leader.
Gossiping wasn’t out of the question, but it should be saved for dinner time.
"Our practice is going smoothly. Momo has already choreographed the dance for us; her professionalism really shows, though the intensity is quite high."
Lu Xiao wiped sweat off her forehead, showing an expression of admiration.
As she said, ever since they watched Twice’s stage performance video last night, they were all fired up with a competitive spirit.
So, everyone tacitly hoped Momo would bring the same level of rigorous practice from a professional girl group to their training.
The competition in this show was intense; none of them had received any scripts for dramatic catfights, so it seemed like everything would rely on genuine skills.
Failing would turn them into a laughingstock nationwide.
Who didn’t care about saving face?
No one wanted to lose!
Well, at least that’s what everyone thought before today’s practice began.
Momo, touched by their earnestness, genuinely brought out the intensity she used in Twice’s practices.
All morning and the time after lunch, the most frequent phrase heard in the practice room was Momo’s...
Ah, Momo even learned to say that phrase in Chinese.
"再来一次 (One more time)."
After several rounds, except for another artist who had been learning dance since childhood, and Momo, the other three, including Lu Xiao, were exhausted and couldn’t stand straight.
And it was only three o’clock in the afternoon.
They had to practice until late at night before they could rest.
Hearing Lu Xiao panting, Liu Xin’an looked helpless; he turned to Momo and, after thinking for a few seconds, spoke in Japanese.
"Isn’t the practice intensity a bit too high?"
Most of the artists knew English, but they didn’t quite understand Japanese.
Not using English was also to save face for everyone; if he communicated with Momo in English and they understood, they might feel disrespected.
Everyone cared about saving face.
"If we keep up , ten days will be enough to be stage-ready."
Momo’s expression was serious. Han Jaeduk had told her that they were here to show their charm, not just to pass the time.
China’s entertainment industry was like stagnant water, needing professional artists to stir some life into it.
Twice and BlackPink had always been competitors. While Red Velvet was also a competitor, they still fell a bit short.
Why had Red Velvet always been called a top-three fourth-generation girl group?
