Ever since he started dating Bae Zhu Hyun, February and March every year have been a very stressful time for him.
Let’s not talk about the New Year for now. In the past two years, I have been accompanied by Bae Zhuhyun when I went home to celebrate the New Year, so it is not a troublesome thing.
The real trouble is that in the past two months, four members of red velvet, including her girlfriend, celebrated their birthdays during this period.
February 10th is Kang Seulgi’s birthday, February 21st is Son Seungwan’s birthday, in March, the 5th is Kim Yerin’s birthday, and the 29th is the birthday of his girlfriend Bae Joo Hyun.
There are obviously 12 months in a year, but this group of people can oddly put their birthdays together.
As the youngest and most favored sister in the group, Jin Yelin's birthday party was also held as scheduled.
And Liu Xin'an was rounded up as a family member, so naturally he also received the invitation.
He wasn't going to agree at first, but under the attack of Pei Zhuhyun's expectant beautiful eyes, he couldn't help but nodded in the end.
After all, Pei Zhuxuan has been busy during this period, and it is rare to find time to do things other than work. If she can see Liu Xin'an at this time, it will naturally be the best thing for her.
When he knocked on the door of the party venue, Jiang Seulgi, who came to open the door, changed her expression instantly.
"Wow, you really are Liu Xin'an. You didn't come to Shengwan and I's birthdays, but you came to Yelin's birthday."
Jiang Seulqi smiled and joked, teasing the embarrassed Liu Xinan with words.
He spread his hands innocently: "I didn't want to come at first, but Zhuhyun wanted me to come, so I came."
"Okay, okay, today's protagonist is Yelin, you and Sister Zhuhyun should change places to show off."
Kang Seulgi is definitely not really angry. Not counting Bae Joo Hyun, she should be Liu Xin An's best friend here.
This is something that everyone knows very well, and she also knows it, so this is just a joke.
"Are many people coming?"
"Well, our maknae Yerin is very popular, but you don't know most of them, Sister Zhuhyun~"
She definitely couldn't do the job of introducing Liu Xin'an to these people. She turned around and looked around, calling out to Bae Zhu Hyun who was smiling and taking pictures with Jin Yelin.
Hearing the sound, Bae Zhuhyun subconsciously looked towards the door, and after seeing Yoo Xin-an next to Jiang Seulqi, her already bright expression became even brighter.
However, she did not come directly, but continued to cooperate with Jin Yelin to take photos.
Of course, her boyfriend is important, but when a camera is pointed at her, it is Bae Joo Hyun's conditioned reflex to pose appropriately and face the camera.
After taking the photo, Pei Zhuhyun jogged all the way to Liu Xin'an.
Most of the people who came today were people whom Liu Xin'an didn't know. Without her accompanying him, his boyfriend would definitely be very embarrassed.
"coming?"
Looking at Bae Zhuhyun, who was panting slightly, wearing a white sweater and a peaked cap, Liu Xin'an raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Well, why aren't you dressed up?"
"It's not a public party, so there's no need to go to so much trouble. Just do whatever makes you feel comfortable."
Pei Zhuhyun, who only wore eye makeup and lipstick, showed a cute look, and stretched out her hand to hold Liu Xin'an's arm with a smile: "Let me introduce my friends to you. Many people are very curious about you."
Jin Yelin entered S-M when she was 12 years old, that is, in the 2011 team.
If you come to a brokerage company to practice at such a young age, you will definitely not be able to take into account your academic performance.
In other words, because she has been practicing since she was young, most of her friends are friends she met while practicing in the company.
There are those who are lucky enough to debut, and there are those who are unlucky and have no hope of living as ordinary people again after their debut. Of course, there are also some artist friends in the industry.
Generally speaking, those who came to Jin Yelin's birthday party today were also insiders.
Of course, Liu Xin'an definitely didn't know everyone, at least he recognized the beautiful woman who was looking at him jokingly at this moment.
"Oh Mo~ Eileen, does this count as bringing family members to participate?" Kim Taeyeon winked at Bae Zhuhyun.
Pei Zhuhyun smiled sheepishly and shook her head.
Liu Xin'an also cooperated with his girlfriend and replied: "I came here in the name of Yelin's friend."
It was Kim Ye-rim who invited him to the birthday party, not Bae Joo-hyun, so there is no problem with his answer here.
But at this moment, Sun Shengwan, who was nibbling on the cake, came over with an annoyed look on her face. She swallowed the cake in her mouth and yelled angrily: "What do you mean, Yelin is your friend and I'm not?"
As one of the parties who was also excluded from the birthday party, Son Seung-wan and Kang Seul-gi were angry for the same reason.
Liu Xin'an's face was full of embarrassment. He turned away and coughed: "Didn't I give you a gift?"
"Wow, what an outrageous answer!"
"Hey~" Kim Taeyeon, who thought the relationship between the two of them was very interesting, made a curious voice. Then, she looked at Liu Xinan, then at Bae Zhuhyun, and said with a smile: "I will also celebrate my birthday in a few days. If you have
Sora, are you here to play? I should be considered an insider who has known about your relationship with Irene for a long time, right?"
Liu Xin'an was dumbfounded. He glanced around the group of women around him, his face full of weirdness.
"How come your birthdays are all in February and March? Are you colluding or something?"
"Hahahaha~"
"I will go if I have time. If I really can't make it, please ask Zhuhyun to give you a gift for me."
Kim Taeyeon smiled and waved her hands, she was just joking: "You go about your business, just do what you want."
Then, he, Pei Zhuhyun, greeted a group of beautiful female artists and handsome male artists, and finally came to today's protagonist.
Compared with Bae Zhuhyun's low-key and simple outfit, today's Kim Yelin is quite beautiful.
After seeing Liu Xin'an, her brother with whom she had a good relationship, Jin Yelin was not polite at all. She spread her small white hands with an expectant expression on her face.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Where is the gift?"
Liu Xin'an handed the gift he brought to Jin Yelin.
"I didn't prepare anything particularly valuable."
"Ah~ I thought they would prepare gold for me."
"???"
The gift was a beautiful hairpin, but of course, the level of care was definitely not as good as the one he had prepared for Bae Zhuhyun before.
Jin Yilin is still very satisfied, at least it is quite practical.
She quickly pinned the hairpins, and it was at this time that Liu Xin'an discovered that Jin Yilin had already pinned several hairpins on her head.
"Uh...are they all given as gifts?"
Jin Yilin spread her hands and said cheerfully: "It's okay, I don't think it's too much."
After saying hello to the protagonist, Liu Xinan was pulled into a corner by Bae Zhuhyun.
"I'm fine, just go play with Yilin and the others."
Liu Xin'an is not someone who has never seen the big world, and his social skills are actually not bad now.
"Arnie, do you still remember that plan?"
Pei Zhuxuan not only brought Liu Xin'an here to accompany Liu Xin'an, she also had her own things to tell Liu Xin'an.
"What's your comprehensive plan?"
"Passed!"
"...Passed?" Liu Xin'an was stunned for a second, and then he smiled in surprise.
He knew how disgusted his girlfriend was with the previous project. Now that her new project was successfully passed, why shouldn't he be happy for her?
"Yeah!" Pei Zhuxuan nodded excitedly, clenched her little hands into fists, and cheered softly.
"Are you going to shoot after this comeback?"
"Yes! But it's a pity that I can't travel to Europe anymore."
Although she was very dissatisfied with the previous plan, one thing she was looking forward to was that the original plan was for her to travel.
But after it was changed to her own plan, the opportunity to travel abroad was gone.
There are gains and losses.
"Can't you go back to our country? It's the same thing."
"That's right, ah~ I'm going to China~ I'm really looking forward to it. It would be nice if time could go faster~"
"Don't be anxious, take your time~"
———
Time is still moving quickly.
Another nine days have passed, and with two weeks left before red velvet’s return, his friend Song Yuqi’s (g)i-dle’s new song is about to be released.
This feeling of watching Song Yuqi and the others reveal the new song information bit by bit on their official accounts also makes people look forward to it more and more. For Liu Xin'an, this is the first time that he has looked forward to a song without any selfish motives.
The release of new songs.
So this is what it feels like to be a star chaser? He seemed to understand Li Chenglu's feelings a little bit.
Watching the time come to six o'clock in the afternoon, finally, after refreshing Song Yuqi's official account again, an mv video appeared under the account.
"Oh? It came out."
Liu Xin'an clicked on the video and a red car came into view.
【I'm coming】
[Yu Qi, why don’t you come over and give Brother An Zi some gifts? This publicity is really full]
[You know you haven’t used it? Maybe which account on the list belongs to Yuqi’s brother, she said on the variety show that she has a brand]
【Double chefs are ecstatic!
】
The video continued to play, and the first person to get out of the car was Song Yuqi, who had pink hair, wore a red leather coat, and looked heroic.
"Oh? Is it this style?"
Although this feeling of star-chasing makes Liu Xin'an very attracted, after all, his understanding of this so-called kpop song is still relatively narrow.
Obviously, this is a song that is very different from the style of red velvet that Bae Joo Hyun is in, but it is undeniable that the moment the song played, his senses were instantly attracted.
Along with it, there was a bit of a bad premonition.
Then, the red song title appeared on the screen.
《tomboy》
Liu Xin'an obviously doesn't understand music, but as a listener, he can give his answer very clearly.
Simply describing it as "good" sounds a bit boring, but it was only the first time he listened to it, and he could already unconsciously nod his head along with the beat.
And when the music entered the chorus, the moment the chorus lines that made people couldn't help but widen their eyes instantly sounded, Liu Xin'an opened his mouth wide and burst out in shock, "Chinese quintessence".
"Fuck..."
Even with the presence of silencer, Liu Xin'an could still clearly hear the phrase "fxxking" in the lyrics. This kind of swear words appeared without reservation in a highly toxic song, which brought people
The impact is even greater than the handsome and beautiful girls in the picture.
【Fuck! It sounds great!】
【Good news, good news, I briefly climbed the wall】
[The silly puppy Yuqi’s younger brother actually became a queen? 】
Liu Xin'an also took out his mobile phone and excitedly sent a message to Song Yuqi.
"Awesome! This song is really awesome!"
He can still tell whether it sounds good or not. There is no doubt that this song can be considered good at least in Liu Xin'an's own playlist.
"Hahahaha, I said we are very confident this time, how about it?"
"I really like it. I originally wanted to buy the album from you for free, but this time I decided to pay for it!"
"???"
After all, it was a live broadcast. Liu Xin'an did not chat too much with Song Yuqi, but continued to focus on the live broadcast.
"It sounds really good. Wow, if you are interested, you can buy the album or digital album. Anyway, I am going to buy it. I originally wanted to do it for free."
[Free sex? Got it! Brother Anzi is hinting to us that free sex! 】
[Is there anyone who knows how to answer this question, how is the quality of Yuqi and their new songs this time?]
[Let me tell you from an old kpop person, it is of high quality, extremely addictive, and a pretty awesome song that can be played in any era]
[Ah, this... Although I am very happy to see that the Chinese people can develop so well, but in this case... won't Sister Zhuzi and the others be in danger in two weeks? 】
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This dazzling barrage immediately cooled down Liu Xin'an's excitement.
Then, he calmed down. At least he certainly couldn't be controlled by his emotions at this time.
but...
He has listened to Bae Zhuhyun's new songs.
It's hard to say whether the quality of songs by Bae Zhuhyun and others is better than the songs by Song Yuqi and others this time.
But in terms of pure toxicity...
That uneasy feeling is getting stronger and stronger.
It should be fine... He couldn't help but start to worry about Bae Zhuhyun, Kang Seulgi and the others.
...
Liu Xin'an was definitely not the only one who listened to Song Yuqi's new song as soon as it came out.
Similarly, Bae Zhuhyun and others were sitting together at this time, listening to (g)i-dle's new song.
Before competing, it is very important to know your competitors well.
But as the song ended, Bae Zhuhyun finally let out the breath that had been stuck in her throat.
Then, she subconsciously looked at Jiang Seulqi and others, and not surprisingly saw embarrassed expressions on their faces.
After being silent for a long time, Pei Zhuxuan stood up, clapped her hands vigorously, and drew everyone's attention to herself.
"It seems we have a very strong opponent this time."
They are not novices in music like Liu Xin'an. They have to have a deeper feeling for their competitor's new song this time.
There is no doubt that this song "Tomboy" will become a big hit this year if nothing else happens.
It will also be the song that makes (g)i-dle take off.
The backbone's speech can be regarded as a reassurance for everyone.
Seeing the excited smile on Bae Zhuhyun's face, most of the pressure on everyone's shoulders disappeared instantly.
"Why are the juniors nowadays so much better than the other?"
Just as Jiang Seulgi complained, not counting K, after all, they are no longer on the same track...
They finally withstood Twice's fierce oppression. They thought this year would be the year they reaped the fruits. What happened to the (g)i-dle that suddenly appeared...
"This song is so well written. It was actually written by Tian Xiaojuan herself. It's really amazing."
"Phew, you have to work hard, kids!"
While they were teasing each other, Cheng Taiqian pushed open the door of the practice room and looked at everyone who had regained their natural state.
"Did you hear that?"
"Listen, what is Brother Taiqian's comment?"
Cheng Taiqian walked up to a few people and spread his hands helplessly.
"What can I say about it? It's really amazing that I can write such a great song."
The opponent they had always ignored suddenly rose up, catching them completely off guard.
Fortunately, there is still a gap of two weeks between the return... If he really competes in the ring, to be honest, Cheng Taiqian has no confidence in everyone.
However, they still have an advantage. As a professional girl group from a large company, the five members of Red Velvet are much better on-site than (g)i-dle, who are from a small company.
In competition, you always have to use some shady means.
By guiding some public opinion in this regard, we can more or less recover some of the disadvantages in song quality.
It's unfortunate to say that, in fact, in terms of song quality, the difference is not very big.
But the problem is that this song "Tomboy" is definitely much more addictive and ear-catching than their "Feel My Rhythm".
This first impression is very strong, which is one of the reasons why many fans who don't understand music will come to such a conclusion.
In addition to these, there is also the existence of Liu Xin'an, an off-field factor. Liu Xin'an has also brought them a lot of popularity this year. With the blessing of these factors, Cheng Taiqian still has some confidence.
"Don't worry too much about the results. Don't worry. Your pre-sale results are only a lot better than last time. Your results this time will definitely not be bad. Just do what you should do."
Cheng Taiqian would definitely not say anything that would enhance the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige.
Pei Zhuxuan and others also nodded.
After the heavy pressure was lifted, Jin Yelin, who always liked to make noise, also started to have fun.
She flipped through her latest calendar and pointed to April 5th.
"Oh? Ive is also coming back today, and this is also a new monster."
ive is a new group that achieved very scary results at the end of last year. Although they are just newcomers, in fact, there are also debuted artists in this group.
"We won't be caught in the middle by our juniors, right?"
"Yeah, don't say such things!"
Bae Zhuhyun glared at Kang Seulgi who was smiling and joking, and took a deep breath.
"Okay, let's continue practicing. The juniors are catching up with us aggressively, so we have to show our energy as seniors."
"Inside!"
"Practice practice."
"Work work~"
Cheng Taiqian on the side looked at the girls who cheered up, with a relieved expression on his face.
As for what Jin Yelin said jokingly just now...
should...
It's not that miserable, right?
Cheng Taiqian himself couldn't help but groan.

This year is really a year of fighting between gods, red velvet is really difficult.
