"Yeah! I said we would work together, iced American style, go buy it!"
Liu Xin'an and Bae Zhuhyun had just walked into the familiar practice room. Sun Seungwan jumped up and shouted to Jin Yelin on the side with an excited tone.
Jin Yilin pursed her lips and deliberately started to act cute: "Do you have to ask your sister to treat you to coffee after you win?"
"Yeah, you lost, you should be willing to accept defeat."
Jin Yilin sighed helplessly. It was not realistic to default on the debt this time. After all, it was a bet... If such a thing happened, then what kind of bet would it be?
"Are you betting on us again?"
It seems that making a bet with Liu Xin'an has become an entertainment activity within Red Velvet. As soon as she walked in, these two people gave her such a big surprise.
The two of them had already realized this situation before the bet, so Sun Shengwan didn't panic at all: "No matter who wins, I will treat you two to coffee. If Liu Xin'an doesn't drink coffee, how about juice?"
"Okay." Liu Xin'an cooperated.
Then, Son Seungwan looked at Jin Yelin with a smile and pointed outside.
"Two glasses of iced Americano, one glass of juice, thank you to our Yelin~"
"snort!"
Jin Yelin walked out angrily. Of course money was not an issue, but she was very unhappy about losing to Son Seungwan.
When Jin Yelin went down to buy coffee, Bae Zhuhyun looked amused: "Is it a problem with the coffee?"
"Then you won't drink?"
"I drink juice."
"Then you send a message to Yilin yourself and ask her to change."
"It's okay, I just drink from him."
Bae Zhuhyun turned around and patted Liu Xin'an's chest, smiling, and this smile full of happiness also made Son Seungwan sweat.
"Tiantianxiu, aren't you two tired of it? It's been a year and a half."
"Of course not, are you tired of it?" Pei Zhuxuan replied with a smile. Then, she looked at Liu Xin'an and asked a death question.
Liu Xin'an didn't know how many times he had experienced this kind of "life and death moment". He didn't hesitate for a second and showed the heartiest smile: "Of course not."
“Great response.”
"That must be."
Bae Zhuhyun did not join in Son Seungwan's complaints and Liu Xin'an's pride. She just looked at the scene in front of her with a smile on her face.
There is still a little time before departure, and the suitcases and other items are still in Liu Xin'an's car. When they are ready to set off later, the staff will move the suitcases and other items there.
In other words, Liu Xinan came here this time to send Bae Zhuhyun off.
Of course, it is also to spend more time with my girlfriend, after all, we will be separated for a long time.
There's also a time difference.
"Where are Seulgi and Sooyoung?"
Liu Xin'an didn't see these two people and asked curiously.
"Seulgi went to have lunch, and Sooyoung went to film a TV series. She won't go with us this time."
"Ah, that's it."
Liu Xin'an suddenly understood, and then showed an expression of admiration. He had tasted S-M's canteen.
To be honest, there is a sentence that he thinks is very suitable to be placed in the S-M cafeteria.
"I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the light."
Dark: S-M Canteen.
Bright: JYP Cafeteria.
It's obviously an entertainment company's cafeteria, but S-M's cafeteria is just too unpalatable.
Ah, but there are advantages to being unpalatable. At least artists from the S-M family are among the best in terms of body management.
Um..
It's hard to tell whether he's hungry or not.
"coming?"
"Um."
Sung Tae-cheon came back earlier than Kim Ye-rim and Kang Seul-gi. After seeing the familiar Yoo Shin-an, he greeted him without any surprise, and Yoo Shin-an answered very naturally.
However, the natural communication between the two made Bae Zhuhyun a little confused.
She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she always felt as if Cheng Taiqian knew Liu Xin'an was coming.
"Brother Taiqian, do you know that Xin'an is coming?"
This question made Cheng Taiqian stunned for a moment, but soon he came to his senses: "...With your character, wouldn't you be so angry if he didn't come?"
"Ah? What, how could I do that!"
Pei Zhuhyun instantly became dissatisfied, and she quickly defended herself, but Cheng Taeqian had an expression of "You're right" on her face. That perfunctory feeling made Pei Zhuhyun extremely aggrieved.
"Have you two eaten?"
"Nope."
It's lunch time now, but Bae Zhuhyun definitely doesn't plan to eat at the company. At most, she just...orders takeout.
Just kidding, they have to go to work next, and for the last meal before leaving Seoul, Bae Zhuhyun doesn't want to eat the company's nutritious meal.
"Let's order takeout. You and Yilin didn't eat either, right?"
Teammates who have worked together for eight years have a tacit understanding, so Jiang Seulgi can eat the company lunch without changing her expression.
"We're going to eat it on the plane."
If you fly to Europe, the flight time is also very long. For such a long flight time, you must eat delicious food, watch movies, and sleep to pass the time.
"Then I'll eat on the plane too." Pei Zhuxuan made her decision, then she looked at Liu Xin'an, "What should you do? Do you want takeout?"
"I'll just buy some on the way back later."
"...really not together?"
Looking at the man's handsome face, Pei Zhuxuan couldn't help but ask again.
"Eh? You won't come with us?"
Sun Shengwan was also stunned. She had already agreed to this trip and Liu Xin'an would also go there.
Mainly... they have fully realized how much convenience a professional translator will bring to them.
Even Son Seungwan himself can hardly be said to be as professional a simultaneous interpreter as Li Chenglu. She can understand English and speak it fluently, but when it comes to translating for the members... one sentence at a time.
OK, synchronization is very troublesome.
Liu Xin'an is a ready-made simultaneous interpreter. Everyone knows this guy's ability. This trip to China is the best proof.
Such a good tool man...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Such a good brother-in-law! Where can I find him?
Besides, she didn't think that with their sticky personalities, they would tolerate being separated from each other for so long.
The previous separations were all inconsequential, and in the final analysis they were never separated by much distance.
Several times Liu Xin'an returned to China, Pei Zhuxuan followed him.
And when they were having activities, Bae Zhuhyun was still within the confines of Seoul. Even if she wanted to see her, it would only be a matter of driving a car.
But this time it's different.
This time we were halfway across the world!
Is this...can you bear it?
"I won't go. I can't sing or dance, and I can't take Xiurong's place. Why should I go with you?"
"Well... if you do some special training, I should be able to train you to the point where you can go on stage in a short time."
Sun Shengwan crossed his arms and answered seriously. He nodded after speaking, indicating that he was really thinking about the possibility.
Now it was Liu Xin'an's turn to be speechless.
"are you crazy?"
"You don't take it seriously, do you?"
"...According to the custom here, I should be the older brother, right?"
Liu Xin'an finally became the person he hated the most - using his age to speak for himself.
It's a pity that Sun Shengwan didn't do this.
She smiled playfully, huddled behind Pei Zhuxuan, and looked arrogant in a position where Pei Zhuxuan could not see.
"Ask Seulgi if she's finished eating. After dinner, go have a meeting and then get ready to leave."
Cheng Taiqian stopped the fight between the two, and Pei Zhuxuan just watched and didn't care. He was also speechless.
"Ah, where is Yelin?"
"Didn't you see Yelin when hyung came here?"
"no, what happened?"
"The loser went to buy coffee."
This light answer made Cheng Taiqian suddenly realize, and he was not surprised. After all, this kind of thing is a daily routine in Red Velvet.
It's just that the smart guy Jin Yelin always wins, but today she actually lost.
Very strange.
"Who won today."
"Me!" Sun Shengwan raised his hands excitedly.
Jin Yelin, who went to buy coffee, and Kang Seulgi, who went to have lunch, did not keep the others waiting for too long.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, after leaving the cup of juice for Liu Xin'an, they all held a cup of coffee in their hands and followed Cheng Taiqian out of the practice room.
Liu Xin'an would definitely not follow a meeting without seeing it.
It's not that he can't go, the main thing is...if he goes, wouldn't he just be looking for a job for himself!
With his nosy character, if he hears something that makes him frown, he will definitely be the first to jump out and take charge of it.
He won't do this stupid thing.
But it was boring to sit alone in the practice room and wait. He thought about it and finally decided to visit.
S-M, he still knows a lot of people. Putting aside his impressions of this company, some of the artists in this company are very suitable for his personality.
But after leaving the practice room, Liu Xin'an soon regretted it.
He has a lot of artist friends he knows, but...it seems that apart from Kim Heechul, who is many years older than him, he doesn't know any of the other male artist friends.
As for female artists...he didn't want to communicate with female artists without Bae Zhuhyun's company.
In the mood to give it a try, Yoo Xin An leaned against the wall of the Red Velvet practice room, took out his cell phone and sent Kim Heechul a message.
Fortunately, Kim Heechul was actually in the company at this time.
After a brief exchange of words, Liu Xin'an came to the door of the room mentioned by Kim Heechul.
He knocked lightly, and soon, the door opened, and the familiar face of Kim Heechul appeared in front of him.
"Oh! Coming?"
"Ah, Heechul hyung, fortunately you are in the company."
"Hahaha, what are you going to do if I'm not here?"
"Uh... just wait."
"Yeah, then you can go directly to the meeting with them. Brother Taiqian won't say anything."
"I don't want to find work for myself."
"Oh~ Seulgi and the others are telling the truth. You have made a lot of plans for their group this time and Irene's own solo, right?"
"Um..."
Liu Xin'an nodded. This is not something that needs to be concealed. If an acquaintance knows about it, they will know it.
"Just a few suggestions."
"Are Chinese people modest? I understand, I understand."
Kim Heechul had an "I understand you" expression, and Liu Xin'an was also laughing, as if he understood it tacitly.
modesty?
He will only be proud!
...
"Ah...won't you go?"
"Why do I feel like everyone thinks I will go with her?"
Kim Heechul's rhetorical question made Liu Xin'an dumbfounded. Counting this person, this should be the third person who is curious about this matter today.
Son Seungwan, Kang Seulgi who just came back from dinner, and this person.
"I saw that you two were inseparable before. Now that we are separated, I feel very awkward."
"I still have some things to do here."
"Work?"
"That's right."
As a variety show host with a good reputation nowadays, Kim Heechul can be said to be top-notch in terms of observing words and emotions.
As soon as Liu Xin'an said "almost", he was sensitive and quickly realized that there seemed to be gossip in it.
He first confirmed that they were the only two people nearby, and then lowered his voice: "Work related to Irene?"
Looking at the elder brother in front of him who had given him and Pei Zhuxuan a lot of help before, Liu Xin'an did not continue to hide it, but smiled and nodded.
"It's okay to tell you, Heechul. This time, I mainly want to prepare a plan for a variety show between me and Zhuhyun."
"Two people...two people?!"
This news really shocked Kim Heechul. He looked surprised, and then lowered his voice: "Which TV station?"
Since it was a variety show about Bae Zhuhyun, he immediately thought of the three major channels.
Anyway, he didn't hear any news about this matter from JTBC.
"It's produced directly by S-M. It's not on TV stations, it's only on the Internet."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Only online...will it be broadcast in China?"
If you don’t go to a TV station, you will naturally avoid copyright issues.
Suddenly, Kim Heechul understood the company's intentions.
Now even he had to be stunned.
Once upon a time, S-M thought about letting their SJ, the next generation Girls' Generation, and even the next generation's Fx and Exo break into the Chinese market, but these attempts all failed.
SJ and Fx even have Chinese members...
After failing so many times in a row, Red Velvet, who debuted nearly ten years later than them, is extremely close to this matter.
What contributed to this situation was just the appearance of the handsome man in front of him.
"Well, just like their group show this time, it will be released directly on our website. It will not be broadcast on TV and will be broadcast directly on the Internet."
"ah..."
After understanding the general situation, Kim Heechul became interested.
He doesn't care where it's broadcast or whether it can be on a TV station.
Nowadays, the popularity of Bae Zhuhyun's personal variety show has proved that no matter where it is broadcast or when it is broadcast, as long as it has the words IRENE, you will no longer have to worry about the show not being a hit.
Now this time, this couple, who has been mentioned constantly by people until now, is put together... You know, this year's episode of "Knowing Brothers" set a record for the highest ratings of the program in the past few years.
.
There are still many, many people who are curious about the couple's daily relationship, and that program also received a lot of praise. The relationship between Liu Xin'an and Bae Zhuhyun broke many people's wrong impressions of artists.
A large number of people think that an artist's relationship is just like in a TV series. Apart from emotional disputes, there are all kinds of dreamy scenes every day.
But Liu Xin'an and Bae Zhuhyun broke everyone's fantasy and let many people know that "it turns out that the love of artists is no different from the love of ordinary people." And with this, the popularity of the program of these two people instantly overshadowed
It has surpassed the popularity of love variety shows that have been very popular recently.
Fake love variety shows are really boring. If you really want to watch them, you have to watch real love variety shows!
And now, Liu Xin'an told him directly that they were going to film a romance drama soon.
It's still an authentic one, only these two people participated, recording their daily life...
No, he hasn't asked about the specific shooting mode and the purpose of the program.
"What is the format of the two-person variety show?"
Jin Heechul became excited. He liked hearing this kind of big gossip so much.
Liu Xin'an also knew this characteristic of Kim Heechul, and even talked about it to this extent, and he had no intention of hiding it.
Besides... this matter is still under preparation, and he himself is not sure about some specific circumstances.
"It's still being prepared. This is one of the issues that needs to be prepared."
"Oh~ I'm already looking forward to it. If there is any part where I need to invite friends, if you don't invite me, I will hate you for many years."
Kim Heechul began to threaten this younger brother with a good personality.
If he doesn't go to listen to the gossip live, should he wait until after the show is broadcast?
To him, this is simply torture!
In response, Liu Xin'an just smiled and spread his hands.
If there really is that link, inviting this guy over would indeed be a very good choice.
Kim Heechul really takes good care of Red Velvet. It’s easy to see from the previous episodes of Red Velvet’s “Knowing Bros.”
Also full of gratitude.
Besides, this man did help him.
"I will definitely call you, Heechul hyung."
"Huh, that's okay, that's okay. If you need help, just contact me directly!"
"good."
———
The meeting has ended, and Pei Zhuhyun and others have been informed of the specific itinerary.
Counting the time on her fingers, Pei Zhuhyun now knew the specific length of time she and Liu Xin'an were separated.
Good news: less than half a month.
Bad news: 14 days.
Um...
At least it's better than expected.
"Two weeks, thank you for your hard work."
"Just hard work?"
Pei Zhuhyun, who looked resentful, made Liu Xin'an laugh. He reached out and pinched his girlfriend's cheek gently, and said in a gentle voice: "Call me on the video call at any time. I promise to pick up the phone as soon as possible."
"What should I do if I can't pick it up?"
"As you wish."
"Huh, I'll call you at four o'clock in the morning. If you can't pick up, you'll be dead."
Liu Xin'an made a horrified expression, but he knew very well that this person would never call him during that time.
Bae Zhuhyun can't do anything to disturb his sleep.
There was no need for Liu Xin'an to go with him to the airport, so after unloading Bae Zhuhyun's luggage from his car, Liu Xin'an waved gently to Bae Zhuhyun.
Pei Zhuxuan also showed a bright smile, and then she pointed to her mobile phone: "I will tell you when I get to the airport."
"Well, Brother Taiqian, please take good care of her."
"Do not worry."
"Are you just taking care of Sister Zhuhyun? What about us?"
Sun Shengwan knew that Bae Zhuhyun might burst into tears if she continued to say goodbye like this, so she cleverly changed the topic in a different direction.
She really meant well, but Liu Xin'an's answer made her very depressed.
