"The goal I set for Irene is to reach Yoona's level in Chinese."
After watching Lin Yoona leave in the elevator, Cheng Taiqian lowered his voice and whispered this to Liu Xin'an.
Liu Xin'an imagined his girlfriend speaking Chinese with a sweet smile and shuddered. It wasn't strange, but it was hard to imagine.
"This Lin Yoona's academic performance should be very good, right?"
"It depends on who you compare with, if you compare with Irene"
Cheng Taiqian fell silent as he spoke. Again, if it weren't for her poor grades, Pei Zhuhyun might not have become an artist.
So why do I get poor grades? It’s not because I don’t like studying.
"You should encourage her more, Eileen. She really won't move at all if no one pushes her away. At best, she is calm and insists on herself. At worst, she is simply lazy and lacks motivation.
"
Now Pei Zhuhyun is indeed working very hard to learn Chinese, but even Cheng Taiqian is hard to guarantee how long Pei Zhuhyun can persist with such hard work.
Liu Xin'an still needs to keep an eye on this person all the time.
But having said that, Pei Zhuhyun will not go home to find Liu Xin'an these days. What is in front of her now is not learning Chinese, but getting ready for her return.
It’s not too late to start learning Chinese again when the gap period ends.
While talking, Cheng Taiqian led Liu Xin'an to a room with a closed door.
The door looked plain and simple, but Liu Xin'an could still vaguely hear the music coming from the door.
It was obvious that several people in the practice room were practicing enthusiastically at this time.
The sound of music made Liu Xin'an nervous. He swallowed, pointed to the door of the room, and then turned to look at Cheng Taiqian.
The latter gave him an affirmative look, and then opened the practice room door directly in front of him.
The moment he opened the door, the clear sound of music reached Liu Xin'an's ears.
This was the first time Liu Xin'an listened to Red Velvet's new song, but after just listening to a few bars, Liu Xin'an was quickly attracted by the cheerful rhythm of the song.
Even if Liu Xin'an, an outsider who doesn't know much about girl group songs, was attracted by this song, it is not difficult to see that the quality of Red Velvet's comeback songs is very good.
Because there was a whole mirror, the people who were practicing were the first to notice Liu Xin'an and Cheng Taiqian who came in through the door.
Although I had some understanding that Liu Xin'an would come over today, it was inevitable that when Liu Xin'an appeared in front of everyone, Pei Zhuxuan, the "family member", was still stunned for a moment.
But soon, she abandoned the distracting thoughts in her mind and continued to devote herself to practice seriously.
Everyone turned a blind eye to the two people standing aside and watching the practice, and just moved their bodies according to the rhythm of the music.
When the song ended, Jin Yelin, who was closest to the computer, walked over in small steps, paused the music, and then walked back to Pei Zhuhyun. Under the leadership of Pei Zhuhyun, she bowed to Liu Xin'an who came over.
"Hello, we are Red velvet."
This is not the first time that the complete Red Velvet has met Liu Xin'an, but for such a formal occasion, it still has to be pompous.
The overly formal greeting caught Liu Xin'an off guard. He was stunned for a moment and then hurriedly bowed in return. His slightly grand gesture made several women cover their mouths and chuckle.
There were no outsiders in the room, and there was no such thing as surveillance in the practice room, so Pei Zhuxuan chuckled lightly and stopped showing off, but winked at Liu Xin'an playfully: "Do you want to watch us practice?"
"If it won't disturb you."
"Then please stay and be an audience member and share your thoughts on our comeback song."
If Kang Seulgi and Yoo Shin-an were the ones who were most familiar with Yoo Shin-an in Red Velvet besides Bae Joo-hyun before, then now after experiencing a variety show filming, Son Seung-wan has occupied this position.
She spoke to Liu Xin'an familiarly, and Liu Xin'an nodded, agreeing without any thought of rejection.
Then, he walked to the sofa and sat down.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Taiqian did not hesitate to step forward and say something. He pointed to the door, nodded to Liu Xin'an, and went out.
It means that he needs to go out first and stay here by himself.
Cheng Taiqian left, and Liu Xin'an sat aside, looking at the women in sportswear with interest.
To be honest, he has watched a lot of stage videos, and they always look beautiful and have gorgeous makeup on the stage.
These people wearing sportswear and hats are really fresh.
But even though they were dressed like this, the moment the song sounded, the five experienced artists started to move their bodies together in tacit understanding.
The outfit does not make the song less interesting. On the contrary, even with such outfit, the song still gives people a cheerful and relaxed feeling.
As someone who has watched Twice practice, Liu Xin'an did not see how inferior Red Velvet was to the opponent in terms of uniformity.
They are all equally excellent and equally uniform.
This is a mature girl group.
Liu Xin'an couldn't help but nod in admiration, and then continued to nod to the rhythm of the music.
The poison is indeed very strong, and it is worthy of being a girl group song.
When the song ended again, Liu Xin'an subconsciously clapped his hands in praise as he looked at the people in front of him making the final moves of the dance.
But there is one thing Liu Xin'an doesn't know whether to complain about. In the ending action, Bae Zhuhyun stood right in the middle.
Because it was just a practice, no one wore any high heels. They all wore sports shoes. Among the harmonious people, Bae Zhuhyun had a dent in her area.
In other words, his girlfriend is really small.
Although she is the captain and the eldest sister of this team, she is also the most petite person in the team.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Is this a contrasting cuteness?
"How about it?"
Listening to Pei Zhuhyun's expectant voice, Liu Xin'an gave a thumbs up with both hands.
"It's perfect. Please come back as soon as possible. Fans are almost dying of discomfort when they can't see the stage."
"Hahaha, what? When did you become our fan?"
Pei Zhuhyun laughed with satisfaction, and then complained with a smile.
"Don't just praise, give me some suggestions if there are any shortcomings. It's not easy to find an audience's perspective."
"Uh, shortcomings? I don't think there are any shortcomings. Isn't it very good? The person is beautiful and the movements are uniform. As a layman, I can't see any shortcomings. I just think it's eye-catching."
Liu Xin'an's sincere answer made several people sigh in relief.
After all, it was a comeback after a long time, and they all valued it very much.
There is nothing wrong with being a little anxious.
"Everyone, let's take a rest."
As the captain, Pei Zhuxuan clapped her hands. It wasn't that Liu Xin'an was here and she was going to accompany Liu Xin'an, so she wanted everyone to rest, but that the practice had lasted for more than two hours, and it was time to take a short break.
.
The captain had spoken, so everyone sat down without any scruples.
Seeing several people squeezing their arms and legs to relax, Liu Xin'an sat there awkwardly. Fortunately, Pei Zhuxuan came to accompany him.
"how do you feel?"
The blushing Bae Zhuhyun wiped the sweat from her forehead with a tissue and asked her boyfriend with a smile.
Liu Xin'an also smiled gently: "Are you asking about your feelings about your company or your new songs?"
"Of course it's a song. How else do you feel about our company?"
"Okay, I really don't feel anything. As for the song, it feels a bit lower quality than the previous song "Psycho". I'm an outsider, so don't pay attention to what I say!"
Liu Xin'an answered subconsciously at first, and then suddenly realized that he felt a little bad about making such a comment, and hurriedly made amends for himself.
"That's not normal. It's incredible to have a song like Psycho. It's impossible for a song to reach that level. Among the many songs we have released, the quality of this song is already above average.
.”
"Then the results of return will be very good?"
"It's hard to say. No one can guarantee this until we officially return."
Bae Zhuhyun stretched her legs and tried to relax.
While chatting in a low voice, Jiang Seulqi strolled over, curiously sat down next to Bae Zhuhyun, and then looked at Liu Xinan: "You really want to cooperate with our company."
"I came here today to talk about this matter. I haven't gone to see your Chief Kim yet."
"I guess I'm going to tie you to Sister Zhuhyun. It's your usual style."
Kang Seulgi pouted and complained about her company, and her merciless look made Bae Joo Hyun slapped Seulgi's thigh in annoyance.
With a "pop" sound, Bae Zhuhyun successfully received an aggrieved look from Kang Seulgi.
"Don't always complain out of habit. It will be troublesome if others hear you."
It is better to say bad things about the company in private. This kind of habit is absolutely unacceptable in the company.
"I helped you analyze the situation and still got beaten. Liu Xin'an, you really should take good care of her. Look at her, now you think I didn't say anything!"
Jiang Seulqi complained, but after noticing Bae Zhuhyun's malicious gaze, she quickly changed her words.
Bae Zhuhyun has to go back to the dormitory these days. If she talks nonsense, maybe this unscrupulous sister will bully her.
There is no doubt which one is scarier: the temporary addiction or the two-month-long resentment against Bae Joo-hyun.
After chatting for a few minutes, a short break passed. Under Liu Xin'an's surprised gaze, Pei Zhuxuan stood up.
Her movements were like a signal, and she stood up together with the other members sitting on the floor, relaxing their bodies as much as possible.
"Uh? Are you going to continue practicing again?"
"Well, just sit here and be an audience."
"Don't want to rest for a while longer? This little rest time is enough for what."
"enough."
After softly replying to Liu Xinan, Bae Zhuhyun no longer took care of Liu Xinan, but continued to return to the members, began to talk to everyone about the details of the dance, and then started practicing again.
But this practice didn't last long.
The knock on the door stunned the people who were twisting their bodies to the rhythm of the music. Everyone tacitly fixed their eyes on Jin Yelin. It was usually the youngest who opened the door and played the music.
of.
Jin Yelin is the youngest in the team.
She wasn't disgusted at all, or she had long been used to doing this kind of thing, so she came to the door with great discernment, opened the door to the practice room, and then smiled and greeted the man at the door.
"Why did you come here when you were free, Heechul hyung?"
This title also indicates the identity of the visitor.
Very good, they are strangers. Liu Xin'an stood up subconsciously and looked at the door. The next second, a very "beautiful" man walked in. He first greeted several people from Red Velvet with a smile, and then set his sights on
On Liu Xin'an.
Liu Xin'an actually knows this person, but the way he met him is rather strange.
He didn't know each other because of their group or fame, but because he was Momo's boyfriend.
It's Momo from Twice, a neon artist who teams up with him in variety shows.
With this relationship, the reason why Kim Heechul appears here at this time is also very clear.
"Excuse me, do you have any objection? I'll find someone."
Kim Heechul first chatted with Bae Zhuhyun with a playful smile and expressed her intention to come. Of course, Bae Zhuhyun couldn't refuse him just because of such a trivial matter. She nodded and pointed in the direction of Liu Xin'an.
"Heechul brother is here to see Liu Xin'an, right?"
"right."
Kim Heechul nodded and did not deny that he did come to see Liu Xin'an. As for the reason, it was very simple. Liu Xin'an took care of Momo in this show. As Momo's boyfriend, he came here mainly to express his thanks.
"Give me a few minutes."
After saying another word to Bae Zhuhyun, Kim Heechul hurriedly came to Liu Xinan, and then politely faced the man in front of him who couldn't stop praising his appearance.
"You are Mr. Liu Xin'an, you look more handsome in person than in the video."
"No, no, you are serious, Mr. Kim Heechul."
"Do you know me?" Kim Heechul looked flattered. After watching the entire program, he knew that Liu Xin'an was a novice who didn't know much about the entertainment industry, so he was very surprised that Liu Xin'an could call him by his name.
.
"Well, momo mentioned that you came here this time because of momo's business."
"Yes, thank you very much for taking care of momo during this program. If possible, please let me treat you to a meal to express my gratitude."
"No, Liu Xin'an already has an appointment today."
On the side, Son Seungwan suddenly jumped out and intervened in the conversation between Liu Xinan and Kim Heechul.
"Well, what happens after that?"
"You don't have to be like this. Brother De also asked me to take care of Momo more. Moreover, Momo is a member of our team and a foreigner. I must take good care of him."
Liu Xin'an smiled and declined Kim Heechul's invitation to dinner.
Seeing that Kim Heechul seemed to want to say something else, Bae Zhuhyun, who had perfect eyesight, also stepped in.
"How did Heechul brother know that Liu Xinan was here? Did he meet Taeqian brother?"
Bae Zhuhyun's voice made Kim Heechul raise his eyebrows in surprise. Son Seungwan intervened and he understood, but this sister who was usually taciturn and very friendly to strangers could actually be so proactive in helping people out of trouble?
It seems that the relationship between the two is not as strong as seen in the promotional video.
If Bae Zhuhyun can take the initiative to do this, she can be considered a friend no matter what.
"I met Yoona downstairs, and she told me that Mr. Liu Xin'an came to visit the company today."
"Sister Yoona?"
Lim Yoona is one year older than Bae Joo Hyun, so it's not surprising that Bae Joo Hyun calls her sister.
Liu Xin'an also thought of Lin Yuner, whom he happened to meet when he came to this floor.
"Ah, Miss Lin Yuner, I happened to meet her at the elevator when Brother Taiqian and I came up."
"I met her downstairs, and she mentioned to me that you were here, so I came over to thank you."
Kim Heechul briefly explained the situation, and then smiled at Liu Xin'an: "Do you need me to take you to visit S-M? If Brother Taiqian is not here, he must be busy with something."
Liu Xin'an was stunned, wondering how to politely refuse.
Fortunately, more than one person noticed his confusion.
Bae Zhuhyun once again stood up to help her boyfriend out: "There's no need for this. Brother Taiqian will take Liu Xin'an to see Chief Kim later. Brother Heechul, just go and do your own thing."
Kim Heechul was even more surprised now. He looked at Bae Zhuhyun in surprise, and the doubts in his eyes made Bae Zhuhyun subconsciously nervous.
This brother's eyes are perfect, and even the slightest bit of strangeness will be sensitively noticed by the other party.
Was she being too deliberate?
Fortunately, Jin Heechul didn't say anything more. He nodded with a smile and didn't insist any further.
"Anyway, thank you very much for taking care of momo. If you need my help, please don't hesitate to come to me at any time." After saying that, he turned to look at Pei Zhuxuan and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Erin, if it's convenient, please come to me at any time."
I will give my contact information to Mr. Liu Xin’an.”
"You give it yourself, I don't have your contact information."
"Eh? It's true or not, just joking."
Kim Heechul looked shocked. He had known Bae Joo Hyun for almost ten years. It would be no exaggeration to say that he had watched Bae Joo Hyun step by step from her debut to now.
He was so hurt when such a close sister told him that she didn't even have her contact information.
"Well, really."
Bae Joo Hyun had no expression on her face and gave false answers in a calm tone.
There must be some, but Bae Joo Hyun always feels weird about transferring another man's number to her boyfriend.
"Wow, as a brother, I'm really hurt."
Kim Heechul looked shocked, but to be honest, he didn't really believe this.
Not to mention others, Kim Heechul thinks that he is very close to the members of Red Velvet.
It's obvious that Bae Zhuhyun didn't want to give it, not that she didn't have it as she said.
Now here’s the interesting thing, why doesn’t Bae Zhu Hyun want to give his number to Liu Xinan?
Kim Heechul always felt that these two people were a little weird, but he couldn't tell what was weird about them.
He had never thought about anything between the two people. The main reason was that Liu Xin'an had a girlfriend, and he also knew Pei Zhuxuan and knew that Pei Zhuxuan was not such a strange person.
Thinking of the quarrel between these two people in the promotional video, maybe it was to avoid suspicion?
