"Ah~ so that’s how it is."
The topic was diverted, and Kang Seulgi, who was eating deliciously, quickly asked Liu Xin’an next to her in a low voice. After getting an answer, she nodded in understanding.
"Any places you want to visit?"
"Me? In China? I just want to see pandas..."
Having always been affectionately called "Bear Seulgi" by fans, Kang Seulgi herself also developed a strong interest in "bears."
But ultimately, she is still a pretty girl, so real brown bears and polar bears are a bit too rugged for her.
Pandas are different, with their classic black-and-white color and round shape; who wouldn’t say "so cute" upon seeing them?
Even Liu Xin’an himself couldn’t resist the allure of pandas. If there really were a chance for Red Velvet to film a program in the country... Sichuan City would indeed be the first choice.
Yes, because he also wants to see pandas.
"Doesn’t Seoul have pandas sent from our country?"
"Sure, but you still have to see them locally."
"You’ve never been? You, a Chinese person, have never seen a giant panda?" Kang Seulgi seemed to notice the longing in Liu Xin’an’s tone and looked at him in shock, a shock that was no less than when she first heard Bae Juhyun say she had someone she liked.
"Uh, the place I usually live is quite far from Sichuan City. It takes several hours by plane to get there. It’s quite troublesome."
"But those are giant pandas." Kang Seulgi stopped eating her grilled meat altogether.
"I know, but it’s very troublesome, and it’s hard to take time off from my livestreaming job..."
"But those are giant pandas."
"..." This repeated response made Liu Xin’an start to doubt whether he was truly reprehensible.
"What are you talking about?"
"We were discussing if there is a chance to film in China, which city would be better." Kang Seulgi mumbled, not forgetting to ask Bae Juhyun for her opinion, "Juhyun, where would you like to go?"
"For me... Xin’an’s hometown?"
"Hey, it’s a group show, not your personal variety show!"
This answer full of personal bias made Kang Seulgi have to tease her. This unhidden ambition was written all over her face. Is she interested in Liu Xin’an’s birthplace? She obviously is interested in her own boyfriend!
"Mainly because I don’t even know what places are worth visiting in China. Does Xin’an have any recommendations?"
"Not many. I suggest you ask Chenglu; she knows a lot, and she travels often... But if I have to recommend, for natural scenery, go to Zhangjiajie or Yunnan Province..."
Yes, there it was, a very variety show-style amazement. In reality, neither of them had heard much about the places Liu Xin’an mentioned.
The arrangement after dinner was naturally the long-awaited sweat lodge.
Actually, the idea of a sweat lodge just sounds nice, but in the domestic context, especially in the North, it actually has a well-known name.
Liu Zhengjiang looked at the token in his hand, and then at Liu Xin’an, who was changing clothes on the other side, with a peculiar expression: "Isn’t this just a bathhouse."
"Dad, don’t ask me. It’s my first time in a sweat lodge too." Liu Xin’an, having changed into a loose T-shirt, had a funny expression. It was indeed his first time in a sweat lodge, but he had been to quite a few public bathhouses.
The feeling it gave him was just like the bathhouse he went to with his classmates during a university trip to Harbin. The rightful source is N()velFire.net
"I’m heading out first." Already dressed, with a towel wrapped around his head, Bae’s father glanced at the slow-paced Liu Family father and son, said a word, and walked out first.
In terms of being shy, Bae Juhyun actually inherited it from her own father.
Now in the men’s dressing room, facing the Liu Family father and son, Bae’s father actually showed a shy side...
"Ah, take your time, we’ll be out soon." Liu Xin’an quickly responded with a smile, then looked at his own father with curiosity.
His father’s slow pace in changing clothes clearly meant he had something he wanted to say. They were family, so there was a mutual understanding of each other’s intentions.
Indeed, after Bae’s father left, Liu Zhengjiang did have something to say to Liu Xin’an.
"For Juhyun and the others coming to the country, you’d better ask your few friends in advance."
"The 30th-anniversary sounds nice, but when it involves some cultural exchanges, the country is certainly against it. In other words... is there any culture here that can be exchanged with ours?"
When saying these words, Liu Zhengjiang chuckled lightly, expressing his evident disdain.
However, he spoke in Chinese and kept his voice low while talking to his own child, so he had no concerns.
Hearing this, Liu Xin’an also laughed. Even though his girlfriend’s family, and even his own mother, belonged here, some things... if they can be done, one should be prepared to be looked down upon.
He liked Bae Juhyun, her friends, her family, but not... the people here.
"I understand, I’ll ask Lao Dai later."
"There’s a lot of room for maneuver, your variety show itself shows many issues."
"Dad, is it really the case that they can’t come to develop in the country?" Liu Xin’an couldn’t resist his curiosity and asked.
Initially, he thought about asking Dai Zhiyuan, but in the end, he decided not to bother his friend.
But with his own dad, it’s different. As family, asking casually during a chat was fine.
Liu Zhengjiang shook his head, but then nodded.
"There aren’t any formal documents, but mostly some unspoken agreements, inevitably blocking at a certain checkpoint."
