But there was one thing Liu Xin’an was unsure if he should comment on—the final move had Bae Juhyun standing right in the center.
Since it was just practice, none of them were wearing high heels, only sneakers. Among the harmonious group, Bae Juhyun happened to be noticeably shorter...
In other words, his girlfriend really was quite tiny.
Even though she’s the captain of the team and the oldest, she’s also the smallest.
Isn’t that a kind of cute contrast?
Hearing Bae Juhyun’s expectant voice, Liu Xin’an gave two thumbs up.
"It was perfect. Please come back soon, your fans are suffering without seeing you on stage."
"Hahaha, what? Since when did you become our fan?"
Bae Juhyun laughed heartily, then joked.
"Don’t just compliment us, give some suggestions if there’s anything lacking. Finding an audience perspective isn’t easy."
"Uh... lacking? I didn’t see anything lacking. It seemed great, everyone looked pretty, and the moves were all in sync... As an outsider, I couldn’t see any flaws, just thought it was pleasing to the eye."
Liu Xin’an’s sincere answer made the group breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, it was a comeback after a long time; they all took it very seriously.
A bit of anxiety was understandable.
"Everyone, take a break."
As the captain, Bae Juhyun clapped her hands. It wasn’t because Liu Xin’an had arrived and she wanted to accompany him, but because the practice had already lasted over two hours—time for a break.
With the captain’s word, everyone sat down without hesitation.
Watching them relax by massaging their arms and legs, Liu Xin’an awkwardly sat on the spot, grateful that Bae Juhyun came over to keep him company.
Her little face flushed, Bae Juhyun used a tissue to wipe the sweat off her forehead and smiled as she asked her boyfriend.
Liu Xin’an also smiled gently, "Are you asking about my feelings towards your company or your new song?"
"Of course, the song. What feelings could you have towards our company?"
"Well, indeed no particular feeling about the company. As for the song... it feels a bit lower in quality compared to ’Psycho.’ Ah, but I’m an outsider, don’t mind what I say!"
Liu Xin’an instinctively responded, then suddenly realized his comment might not sound good, so he quickly tried to cover up.
"That’s normal. Having a song like ’Psycho’ is already incredible, it’s impossible to hit that level every time. This new song is among the higher quality ones we’ve released."
"So the comeback will perform well?"
"Hard to say. No one can guarantee that before the official comeback."
Bae Juhyun stretched her legs, trying her best to relax.
As they chatted quietly, Kang Seulgi wandered over, curiously sat beside Bae Juhyun, and looked at Liu Xin’an, "You’re really going to collaborate with our company?"
"I’m here to discuss that today. I haven’t met your Manager Kim yet."
"Hmm... They’re probably going to tie you and Juhyun together. It’s their usual style."
Kang Seulgi pouted, criticizing her company without holding back, which made Bae Juhyun lightly smack Kang Seulgi’s leg in annoyance.
With a loud "smack," Bae Juhyun successfully elicited a wronged look from Kang Seulgi.
"Don’t always criticize out of habit. If others hear it, it’ll be trouble."
Saying bad things about the company should be done in private—such habits should absolutely not exist in the company.
"Giving you an analysis and still getting hit. Liu Xin’an, you really should rein her in. Look at her now... Okay, I take it back!"
Kang Seulgi complained, but upon noticing Bae Juhyun’s unfriendly gaze, she quickly changed her tune.
Recently, Bae Juhyun had been returning to the dorm often. If she said the wrong things, this ruthless sister might bully her in ways unimaginable.
The temporary satisfaction of quipping didn’t outweigh the potential two months of holding a grudge from Bae Juhyun; there was no doubt which was scarier.
After chatting for a few minutes, the short break ended. To Liu Xin’an’s surprise, Bae Juhyun stood up.
Her movement was like a signal. As she stood, the other members relaxing on the floor also got up. Thɪs chapter is updated by ɴovelfire.net
"Uh? Continue practicing already?"
"Yes, you can just sit here and be the audience."
"Not resting a bit longer? Such a short break doesn’t seem enough."
After softly responding that to Liu Xin’an, Bae Juhyun stopped focusing on him and returned to the members’ side, started discussing dance details, and then resumed practice.
But this session didn’t last long.
The sound of knocking made the group, who was swaying to the rhythm, pause in surprise. They all glanced knowingly at Yerin, who typically handled tasks like opening doors and playing music, being the youngest.
Kim Yerin was indeed the youngest in the team.
She didn’t mind, or rather... She was used to it, so she sensibly went to the door, opened it, and greeted the man standing there with a smile.
"How come you had time to drop by, Heechul oppa?"
This address revealed the visitor’s identity.
Alright, not a stranger. Liu Xin’an instinctively stood and looked towards the door. The next second, an exceptionally "pretty" man walked in. He first greeted the Red Velvet members with a smile, then set his eyes on Liu Xin’an.
