At eight o'clock in the morning, Bae Zhuhyun, who was drifting into sleep, was reluctantly awakened by the sound of the alarm clock on her mobile phone, and struggled to open her eyes.
The person next to him had disappeared long ago. Pei Zhuhyun's way of dealing with this situation was quite skillful.
She squinted her eyes and fumbled around on the pillow. After finding her phone, she casually opened Liu Xin'an's chat box, pressed the voice button, and pursed her pink lips.
"Where are the people..."
About a minute later, Liu Xin'an, who had finished washing, opened the bedroom door and looked at Pei Zhuxuan, who was still lying on the bed in a coma.
"Get up, don't you still have to go to the company?"
"Well... can you help me and Brother Taiqian ask for leave? I don't know why I can't do it at all."
Hearing his girlfriend's empty answer, Liu Xin'an was shocked. He hurriedly sat by the bed and put his big hand on Pei Zhuhyun's forehead.
Then, with a look of confusion on his face, he bent down and put his forehead against Pei Zhuhyun's.
Chi Chi's handsome face was so close that Pei Zhuxuan, who was used to seeing her boyfriend, inevitably blushed on her cheeks. She hurriedly pushed Liu Xin'an away: "What are you doing!"
"I don't think you have a fever. Are you feeling unwell?"
Pei Zhuxuan paused. She stared at Liu Xin'an with dull eyes. After being quiet for a while, she sighed and turned over lazily.
"Go out, I need to change clothes."
"Body..."
"Just talking, I'm too lazy to get up."
"..." Liu Xin'an grinned, looking at his girlfriend's slim back, and angrily slapped her round face.
Along with the crisp slap sound, there was also Bae Zhuhyun's panicked scream.
"Ah!...Ah! Are you crazy?!"
"Who told you to worry me?" Liu Xin'an also had a reason. This man actually talked nonsense. He was so nervous just now.
"I can't even complain..." Xiao Peidu muttered, and then angrily opened the quilt, exposed his white legs, and kicked Liu Xin'an angrily.
"Go out, go out, I want to change clothes!"
"Anyway, I'm here, let me change it for you."
"Ah? What? Ah! No need...stop! Liu Xin'an!"
Bae Zhuhyun's mournful screams kept ringing in the bedroom.
Finally, after a brief struggle, Ms. Pei realized the unparalleled power gap between the two parties and chose to give up.
Liu Xin'an is also a measured person. He didn't do anything bad to take advantage when he helped Bae Zhuhyun change clothes.
It's not that this person is unattractive to him, but he's afraid that he won't be able to control himself.
If this were to happen, Pei Zhuhyun, who woke up at eight in the morning, would probably not leave home until eleven.
After changing into comfortable home clothes, Pei Zhuhyun raised her hands and tied up her long hair. Because she washed her hair yesterday, she didn't plan to wash her hair today. She just wore a peaked cap later. Anyway, the next endorsement shoot only started in the afternoon.
You still have to wash your hair by then.
Picking up a small spoonful of white porridge with a small spoon, Pei Zhuxuan blew the hot air from it and carefully put it into his mouth, showing a satisfied expression.
"Are you coming back tonight?"
"Well, if you don't come back, you won't come back for the next week. This is your punishment."
"What, did I do something outrageous?"
Pei Zhuxuan didn't say anything, just put a little kimchi into his mouth with a kuaizi, then reached out to press the long hair that fell restlessly in front of him, and continued to drink the white porridge.
Liu Xin'an smiled helplessly and joined in the silence.
When it comes to patience, Liu Xinan has never lost to Bae Zhuhyun.
They ate breakfast quietly together. After about five minutes, Bae Zhuhyun, who had always been honest, was the first to be unable to bear it any longer.
She kept glancing at Liu Xin'an, who was looking down at his phone. After confirming that this guy really didn't care about her thoughts, she frowned slightly, showing a sullen expression.
Then, she raised her legs, which had been placed peacefully under the table, and lightly touched Liu Xin'an's legs.
After completing this action in a vague manner, Pei Zhuxuan hurriedly sat down in a serious manner, with a dignified expression and posture, as if the naughty action just now was not made by her.
But what annoyed her was that Liu Xin'an didn't show any response to her actions. Liu Xin'an just raised his head and glanced at her to confirm that she was just eating breakfast seriously, and then continued to look at her phone.
The boring game of ignoring each other continued until the end of breakfast.
After breakfast, Ms. Pei was very angry and decided to leave directly.
Then she was hugged by Liu Xin'an.
"Yeah! Let go!"
Facing his girlfriend's scolding, Liu Xin'an revealed his rogue nature. He tightly hugged the woman in his arms' waist that was so slender that it seemed as if it would break at a single break.
This person does have a soft body, but just because she is too soft, sometimes he is always afraid that he will use too much strength and accidentally hurt the other person...
"Okay, let me hold you for a while. If you don't come back for a week, I will miss you very much."
Liu Xin'an told her that he missed her so softly, which really made Pei Zhuhyun unable to resist.
However, although her body calmed down honestly, Bae Zhuhyun's mouth indicated that she had her own thoughts.
"You didn't even pay attention to me just now."
"I need to finish breakfast quickly so that I can spend more time holding my little Pei."
Now Pei Zhuxuan was restless. She said "woo~" and hugged her boyfriend tightly. She no longer said any angry words, but quietly enjoyed Liu Xin'an's gentle hug.
After a while, Pei Zhuxun struggled slightly, and Liu Xin'an did not insist on holding the other party tightly. He let go of his arm and let the other party go back to the bedroom, and then he started to pack the tableware responsibly.
By the time he finished cleaning up, Pei Zhuhyun had already changed her clothes.
"I'm leaving. Don't work too late. If I see you live broadcasting on the surveillance camera for six or seven hours, I will come back and beat you."
Facing the threat of Bae Zhuhyun waving his small fist, Liu Xin'an looked expectantly.
"Then can I see you early?"
"...Okay, don't say anything to make me feel soft. Why are you suddenly acting strange? It was clearly not like this before."
Liu Xin'an shrugged and spread his hands: "On the Internet, it is said that women nowadays like little puppies."
"What little milk dog?" This domestic buzzword, Pei Zhuxuan, a foreigner, must not understand it. Liu Xin'an did not explain it. He helped Pei Zhuxuan hold the bag, took the woman's little hand, and led her to the door.
After Pei Zhuhyun changed her shoes before going out and took the bag from him, Pei Zhuhyun felt even more weird.
"Why...it feels like I have to go out to make money to support my family."
"Hahaha, go down quickly. Remember to apologize to Xiurong and Yelin when you see them."
"It's better for you to go over and apologize for this kind of thing."
Liu Xin'an heard the subtext in Pei Zhuxuan's words.
"As long as I'm free, I'll go see you."
Now that everything has been made public, Liu Xin'an no longer needs to be as cautious as before.
He could have blatantly entered through the main entrance of S-M, then reported his girlfriend's name, and then entered S-M...
Um...
This seems to be a bit too high-profile.
Anyway, you can go see Bae Zhuhyun at any time. Pei Zhuhyun asked him to come over in person to apologize for this reason.
She doesn't have time to come back, Liu Xin'an should always come over when she has time!
This answer made Pei Zhuxuan extremely satisfied. After standing on tiptoes and kissing Liu Xin'an on the cheek, Pei Zhuxuan raised a bright smile and waved to Liu Xin'an.
"Let's go!"
"OK Bye Bye."
With the sound of the door slamming, the house fell into silence.
Liu Xin'an moved his body, hummed an unknown song that only he could hear, and quietly walked into his live broadcast room.
Bae Zhuhyun has to work hard, and he also has to work hard to make money.
In terms of fame, I will definitely not be able to catch up with Bae Zhuhyun in a short time, but in terms of making money! He is no worse than Bae Zhuhyun!
He found the chat box for the early bedtime manager and entered a text very quickly.
What is my business this month?
I went to bed early and sent a question mark, and then he sent another message.
It's rare to be so active. I'll take a look later...
———
"Hey hey hey~"
Park Xiurong and Jin Yelin looked at the people standing in front of them with their arms folded and laughing non-stop with depressed expressions, and let out a long sigh.
There is no way, who made them trust the wrong person.
In fact, I don’t blame them. Again, in terms of familiarity with Yoo Shin-an, they really can’t compare to Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan.
Yes, anyone with a discerning eye can see that in terms of IQ, Pei Zhuxuan may not be able to compare with Liu Xin'an, which is why they bet on Liu Xin'an.
But the problem is, whether it’s on a show or a couple making bets and joking, what’s really needed is never IQ, but human sophistication.
Would Liu Xin'an let his girlfriend lose in front of so many people?
Obviously not.
Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan knew this very well, so they chose the smarter Yoo Shin-an over Bae Joo-hyun very simply.
Yes, they both think Liu Xinan is much smarter than Bae Zhuhyun, and precisely because he is smart...
"Sister~"
"Come on, there's no point in acting coquettishly. When you two sided with Liu Xin'an, you two have already betrayed me!"
Pei Zhuxuan snorted coldly, the four sisters should be on her side, what's the point of standing on Liu Xin'an's side!
"Who knew your boyfriend was so unreliable..."
"What?"
"Nothing! Nothing!"
The eldest sister still had her majesty, and the two younger sisters quickly waved their hands and showed flattering smiles.
If you lose, you lose. Anyway, they are young, so it is natural for them to give up the order of washing up early to their sisters.
After all...they are young~
The two people who had a very good relationship looked at each other. They seemed to understand each other's thoughts, and then they smiled sweetly in perfect agreement.
"So how was yesterday's filming? It was his first time participating in our filming, right?"
"Well, he is quite adaptable. After all, he has a strong adaptability. It should be a very interesting program."
The atmosphere of the filming scene was very good, but no one can say exactly what it will look like when the editing is completed.
Maybe jtbc's brain suddenly went crazy in the later stage and the cutting was messy... That would be troublesome.
"Can you give us some spoilers?"
"How is this a spoiler?"
"What is the question you asked each other to guess? We want to guess too!"
Pei Zhuxuan glanced at the gossiping sisters and chuckled.
"Want to know?"
"Um!"
“We’ll just watch it later when we wait for the live broadcast.”
"Ah~ you can't tell us in advance, we won't talk nonsense~"
Who doesn't know how to act coquettishly?
Besides, Bae Zhuhyun is everyone's older sister. The younger sisters act coquettishly to their elder sisters, but there is no psychological pressure at all.
"Come on, wait for the live broadcast."
Everyone knows that Bae Zhuhyun is a person who always speaks his mind. Since we can't get the answer from Bae Zhuhyun, everyone can only settle for the next best thing.
"when is it airing?"
"It has to be two weeks later anyway, there's still editing to be done..."
Halfway through his words, Sung Tae-cheon suddenly walked into the practice room and interrupted Bae Joo-hyun's speech.
"It's hard to say. You may have to work overtime to get this issue out, and it will be broadcast in conjunction with your endorsement next week."
Several people were stunned for a moment, and then uniformly greeted Cheng Taiqian.
"Good morning, Brother Taiqian~"
"Well, let's go, there are still the last three groups of endorsements."
The endorsement invitations from major companies have been almost digested by Pei Zhuhyun and the others, but when the time comes, these endorsements will not be released all at once, but one at a time.
As for the content of endorsements...most of them are products of some large companies, or products with high national popularity.
Perhaps it is not as influential as the previous "Jinro Soju", but over time, the benefits to Red Velvet will be much greater.
Not to mention, there are also tourism endorsements in some regions... For example, the cultural image of Daegu this time is personally endorsed by Bae Joo-hyun, a Daegu native.
"Did Brother Taiqian tell Director Jin about what happened yesterday?"
While following Cheng Taiqian to the underground garage, Pei Zhuxuan suddenly remembered the trip to China that she had mentioned with Cheng Taiqian in the car yesterday, and asked curiously.
"What happened yesterday?"
Sun Shengwan stepped forward curiously and asked.
Pei Zhuxuan didn't mean to hide anything: "I went to China during the Tuanzong period."
"oh!
Everyone suddenly became interested. For them, China was far more mysterious than the European areas they had been to.
They have been to many famous countries around the world, but they rarely set foot in the big country next door to Chi Chi.
In the past, it was because there was no need. Without Chinese members, they had no chance to enter the market there, but now it is different. With the help of Bae Zhuhyun...Liu Xin'an to be precise, they successfully gained a lot of votes.
Chinese fans.
They can even take this opportunity to make a beautiful comeback!
"I mentioned it. Director Jin will make arrangements based on the situation. What does Xin'an say? Is there any chance?"
Cheng Taiqian also thought of the words Liu Xin'an asked him to try and couldn't help asking.
"Well, if there is a chance, Xin'an will ask the company to apply early, and maybe there will be a chance to pass."
"That's it..."
Cheng Taiqian nodded thoughtfully, stopped thinking about it, calmed down and continued walking towards the underground garage.
There is still a full afternoon and half of the night's work waiting for these girls. These things are not something they need to worry about. They can just let Chief Jin have the headache.
...
On the other side, Liu Xin'an, who had started the live broadcast, was, as expected, subjected to a life-threatening interrogation by water friends.
"Thanks to An Pei's law, I drank 500sc... Boss, the show is awesome. The program has been recorded. I don't know when it will be broadcast, but it shouldn't be too long..."
The boss had already spent money, and it would be shameful for him not to answer. He had no choice but to simply respond to everyone's questions.
In fact, most of the questions asked him how the filming went and when it would be broadcast.
[Progress is coming, Brother Anzi is on TV]
[Why can’t I be on a program there but not a domestic one? 】
[Don’t mess with the previous one, Sister Zhuzi also needs to be able to appear on this show]
[Why can’t I be on it? Didn’t Lisa from Blak come last year? 】
[Lisa is Thai, why don’t you talk about the show that Brother Anzi appeared in this summer? Wendy also appeared in it]
[Yes, yes, everyone can come, why can’t Sister Pei come, she is a Chinese daughter-in-law!]
The content of the discussion became increasingly distorted, and Liu Xin'an sighed helplessly and did not respond.
These issues are a bit too sensitive. He has been a anchor for so long. Apart from some things that will break his defense, he also understands what should be discussed and what should not be discussed.
Just turn a blind eye. Anyway, these people swiped for a while and saw that he didn't reply, so they stopped swiping.
Facts have proved that there is nothing wrong with his prediction. Soon, under the deliberate guidance of several house managers, the direction of the barrage gradually returned to the game he was live broadcasting.
He also returned to his usual live broadcasting state, chatting with water friends from time to time.
"I haven't had much to do lately. I just keep broadcasting and working honestly. The live broadcast time this year is too short, and my salary is almost deducted."
【Is this month long enough?】
"It's definitely not enough. Didn't I take a period of leave in between?"
[There is a super rich woman like Sister Pei]
"As I said, if she has money, it's her money. What I earn from my work is my own money. I don't want to be a pretty boy."
[Hey, you don’t want to eat this soft rice, but someone wants to eat it!
[The doctor said that since my stomach is not good, I should eat soft rice]
"You are suitable for me but not suitable for me, oh? Gift box?"
While answering the barrage questions, Liu Xin'an controlled "Isaac" in his hand, walked into the store, and saw a gift box item priced at 15 game coins.
And this gift box made him stunned.
Because he suddenly remembered something.
It is already the middle of November, and there is only less than a month left before December 9th.
But he hasn't thought about what gift to prepare for Bae Zhuhyun...
This is the first anniversary of being together, which is much more important than the 100 days of being together.
What a gift...
Liu Xin'an took his eyes away from the gift box and subconsciously looked at his mobile phone.
How about... discuss it with Seulgi and the others?
