Since she is not average-looking, nor that shy... why then is she so reluctant to show up in front of her fans?
Liu Xin’an isn’t some idol or actor, so even if his relationship did go public, the fans wouldn’t shun him, right...?
"Right, let’s go! Let’s ask him, do you want to hear some gossip?"
momo nodded vigorously, who wouldn’t want to hear some juicy tales?
Lu Xiao raised her eyebrows and stealthily, with tiptoeing steps, she and momo got up and then sneaked towards Liu Xin’an.
But the two of them completely hiding their movements isn’t very realistic.
Girls, especially female artists like Lu Xiao and momo, always carry a fragrant scent on them.
They’d only gotten a little closer when that scent wafted into his nostrils, making Liu Xin’an sharply lift his head.
Then, he locked eyes with Lu Xiao.
The two tacitly revealed awkward smiles, and Liu Xin’an smoothly pocketed his phone.
Caught red-handed, Lu Xiao didn’t put on an act anymore.
She sat down next to Liu Xin’an with momo and then, with a strangely accented tone full of barely concealable gossip, said,
"We’re all on the same team now, shouldn’t some things also not be kept from everyone forever?"
"...what are you trying to say?"
"I’m laying my cards out, I want to see Little Bamboo!"
Even though she didn’t appear much in the video, Lu Xiao was still able to notice from the random few snippets that Little Bamboo was a woman with a good sense of style and a great figure.
A good figure, good taste in clothes, her looks surely can’t be too far off.
Logically speaking, she shouldn’t be someone who can’t be revealed, right?
Lu Xiao speculated and then made faces at Liu Xin’an.
Liu Xin’an, in return, gave her an eye roll.
"Wait, I’ll find her for you."
"Wow, not bad, Brother An! I declare you a truly excellent man."
"Yeah, I’m truly honored."
The perfunctory tone didn’t upset Lu Xiao; on the contrary, she grinned eagerly, resting her cheek in her hand.
When Liu Xin’an finally found a photo of the bamboo and handed it to her, the smile on Lu Xiao’s face froze.
"Did you steal all the bamboo shoots from the giant pandas?"
"Didn’t you say you wanted to see Little Bamboo? Here, bamboo, there are two more."
Trying to hold back a laugh, Liu Xin’an teased her.
Lu Xiao’s mouth twitched, almost losing her composure: "Don’t play that game; you know who I want to see. Just secretly introduce her to me, I won’t spread it around."
"Enough, aren’t we going to practice?"
"So boring, so boring~ Let’s go momo, back to work."
momo was pulled to her feet by Lu Xiao, just as clueless as when she had been pulled down to sit, their heads both in the clouds.
Yet, she quite liked this laid-back chatting atmosphere.
Another day’s practice ended, and Liu Xin’an had gotten used to the intensity at this point; what he had to do was much less grueling than what the artists endured, since after all, he was only a prop and didn’t really have to get on stage to sing and dance, which made everything much simpler.
"I always feel like I’m getting the short end of the stick; in this situation, it shouldn’t be excessive to ask for more appearance fees, right?" Liu Xin’an drank some water, then spoke to the camera.
Indeed, among the four team leaders, his workload was the greatest.
Whether the other three team leaders were also entrusted with similar tasks he didn’t know.
Everyone was keeping their cards close to the chest, not readily revealing them, so the choices of the songs for the second public performance by the other three teams were still completely unknown.
The camera certainly couldn’t provide him with answers, but this remotely controlled camera still cooperated and gave a tilt, a motion that caused Liu Xin’an to snort in disdain.
"So stingy." After grumbling, Liu Xin’an headed towards the exit, done with his day. How did it come to this, shooting a variety show and apart from being a host and a team leader, also becoming a prop?
He really should get a pay raise!
The broadcast of the show added some fun to the dull May.
Including Weibo, despite being a competing platform with the small online station, when it came to actual benefits, they still promoted what needed to be promoted. Read full story at novｅlfire.net
After all, in terms of scale, the small online station was indeed much smaller than Weibo, so discussions about the show were much more lively there.
The fandom, as usual, remained dominated by women.
Even though the artists participating in the show were also all women.
Of course, the CP between Liu Xin’an and Bae Juhyun was also included in everyone’s discussions.
The night after the show aired, Liu Xin’an returned home and, as usual, began a live stream.
Despite being tired, this live stream was a promised engagement with his audience, so Liu Xin’an still spirited up and started the live stream punctually at eight o’clock in the evening.
As he had already notified several fan groups beforehand, almost as soon as he started the live stream, a large crowd poured into the chat room.
"Good evening, good evening."
[Why do you look so exhausted, Brother An, drained dry?]
"Wouldn’t you be tired after a day of work?"
[Learn from the boy next door; he’s also working, but he can still put out three videos a week, and you, it’s been half a month since your last upload!]
The name boy made Liu Xin’an smirk awkwardly, clearing his throat: "I’m getting older, can’t compare with the young ones."
boy was a good five years younger than him, so it wasn’t much of an issue for him to say that.
Everyone didn’t dwell on it for long, and soon the topic turned.
"Did everyone watch the show? How did you feel about it?"
[Not bad, but Little Bamboo not showing up gets a thumbs down from me.]
[Brother An, you had so little screen time, can’t you get more?]
