As they entered the familiar pace of the variety show, Kim Heechul, being a senior from the same company who watched Bae Juhyun debut and grow to where she is now, stood up cooperatively and applauded.
However, seeing Bae Juhyun awkwardly standing at the entrance, he casually asked, "Why aren’t you coming in? Is there someone behind you making you shy to enter?"
Everyone was aware that it wasn’t just Bae Juhyun coming today, so in response to Kim Heechul’s deliberate teasing, everyone laughed and made a fuss.
As the subject of the teasing, Bae Juhyun showed a shy expression and continued to stand at the door.
"I have brought a new friend today," she said slowly, word by word. Thɪs chapter is updated by NoveI-Fire.ɴet
Then, as soon as the words were out, the classroom erupted in excited coaxing.
"Quick, come in, come in!"
"No need to be shy, we’re all easy to get along with."
"Yeah, quickly bring him in, Irene."
Kim Heechul directly went over to the window, casually opened it, then leaned out, energetically waving at Liu Xin’an who was hiding behind the door.
"Hey, hurry up and come in!"
Left with no choice now, Bae Juhyun had to turn back and glance at her boyfriend. After confirming that Liu Xin’an didn’t show any overly nervous expression, she took a deep breath and strolled into the classroom.
Beautiful female idols, especially super beauties like Bae Juhyun, are usually very popular when they come to shows.
But the MCs of today’s show didn’t focus too much on Bae Juhyun, offering only a cursory welcome and then continuing to look expectantly at the door.
Liu Xin’an didn’t keep everyone guessing any longer; he wore a modest smile, straightened his back, and walked steadily from the door to the teacher’s desk, standing beside Bae Juhyun.
"Wow, really handsome, are you sure he’s not a celebrity?"
"Hey, quiet, quiet, let them speak for themselves." Kang Hodong made a big face gesture for everyone to be quiet, then flashed a very gentle smile at Liu Xin’an... at least he thought his smile was gentle.
"Hyung, your smile really won’t scare them?" Kim Heechul, sitting in the front row, subconsciously quipped.
His words made everyone laugh, and Kang Hodong’s face turned red with laughter.
After some commotion, everyone tacitly stopped the teasing, instead focusing their gaze squarely on Bae Juhyun and Liu Xin’an.
Typically, at this moment, Bae Juhyun, as a variety show veteran, should take the lead, guiding her boyfriend who doesn’t have much variety show experience.
Perhaps all those curious eyes made Bae Juhyun very nervous; she slightly parted her lips, froze for a moment, and surprisingly didn’t know how to start, then habitually hid behind Liu Xin’an, not daring to show her face.
"Hey, Irene, you’re a variety show senior, what does it mean to hide behind a newbie!" Of course, Kim Heechul wouldn’t miss such an opportunity to tease Bae Juhyun.
"Oh~ Is this the first time we’ve seen Irene this shy?"
"Indeed, the last few times Irene came over she wasn’t this shy. Heechul is right, Irene, you’re a veteran of eight years, you can’t embarrass yourself in front of the juniors."
The more they spoke, the more Bae Juhyun’s face turned red. She wasn’t usually this shy, but...
This time, it’s different from every previous appearance on the show.
This is on a program!!
"Alright, let me be the first to greet everyone." Liu Xin’an said with a smile, trying to shift the focus onto himself.
But before he could finish, the MCs sitting below interrupted him again.
"His voice is really nice."
"Is he protecting Irene? So sweet!"
Bae Juhyun grabbed the hem of Liu Xin’an’s shirt with both hands, took a deep breath, and tried hard to calm the blush on her face.
She should have guessed that this group of troublemakers wouldn’t let them off easily.
But now she was already somewhat getting used to it.
Seeing Bae Juhyun appear, Kang Hodong and others tacitly quieted down.
No way could they let Liu Xin’an start talking first; they had to force Bae Juhyun out.
"Hello, everyone, I’m Irene, transferring from Red Velvet High School to Knowing Bros High School today."
She knew her cheeks must be very red at this time, but there was no way around it; she had to bravely greet the MCs first.
After Bae Juhyun finished speaking, Liu Xin’an smoothly followed up.
"Hello everyone, I’m Liu Xin’an, an international student from China, very pleased to meet you all."
"Wow! Welcome, welcome."
"Hello, hello." Slightly understanding Chinese, Kim Heechul skillfully greeted Liu Xin’an in Chinese.
"Perhaps... I’m curious, why are you both transferring to our school at the same time?" Lee Soogeun, sitting behind Kang Hodong, started to guide the conversation.
Before Liu Xin’an and Bae Juhyun could reply, the lively Kim Heechul chimed in again, as his task today was to take care of Bae Juhyun and Liu Xin’an: "Oh! Could it be that you two have some special relationship?"
A question to which everyone knew the answer, but coincidentally, this group of MCs loved such situations.
Fully aware that she and Liu Xin’an were being teased, Bae Juhyun showed a helpless expression, gently biting her lip, and finally nodded.
"Yes, we are in a special relationship."
"What kind of relationship?"
Everyone’s persistent questioning made Bae Juhyun take a deep breath.
"We’re in a romantic relationship."
Several MCs stood up excitedly to high-five each other, as if they were the ones dating Liu Xin’an.
