Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star? Chapter 88. "Greasy" Kim Taeyeon

Being polite is also a good thing.

It’s definitely better than acting all high and mighty when eting people.

The two girls sat down on either side of him, and that was when Liu Xin’an realized he was sitting right in the middle of the entire makeup room.

Feeling his seating position was a bit strange, a polite yet slightly awkward smile crossed Liu Xin’an’s face.

Just as he hesitated whether to stand up and offer his seat, the person nad Lee Soongyu next to him took the initiative to strike up a conversation.

"Mr. Liu Xin’an, you’re Chinese, right?"

"Ah, yes, I am Chinese."

"Since that’s the case, let’s not be strangers. Just call us Sunny and Taeyeon, and you can call us by our nas too."

Lee Soongyu’s words took Liu Xin’an by surprise; he was aware of the intense seniority relations here.

Although he and these two were not in a senior-junior relationship, there was still so age difference.

However, it seed that Lee Soongyu knew that Chinese people didn’t care much about this, so he suggested not to mind the formalities, which Liu Xin’an found quite comforting.

"Is that alright? If I’m not mistaken, you are both a bit older than ..."

"Just call us by our nas; besides, when we start playing the ga later, you might end up yelling them out of frustration!"

These words made Kim Taeyeon, who had been quietly letting the stylist work on her, let out a chuckle.

Liu Xin’an was also amused by the comnt, and as they had suggested it, he had no reason to refuse.

"Then I will be impolite today, Sunny, Taeyeon."

"Yeah, it’s alright."

These two top girl group mbers weren’t as pretentious as Liu Xin’an had imagined; indeed, their reputation was not without reason.

The change in how they addressed each other brought them a bit closer, and since their ages weren’t that different, the atmosphere beca more relaxed.

Soon, the three of them opened up a lot more in their conversation.

"Liu Xin’an is quite handso, quite different from the handso guys in our country."

Hearing Lee Soongyu’s complint, Liu Xin’an felt sowhat embarrassed. He glanced involuntarily at the mirror in front of him, feeling he looked no different than usual.

"Really?"

"Yes, truly. We don’t even know how to design your makeup," the stylist, looking quite troubled, chid in, making Liu Xin’an feel awkward.

"Why don’t you follow your usual style?"

"No, no, no, I feel it doesn’t suit you; actually, you look good just as you are now."

"Like this?" Liu Xin’an looked into the mirror again, vaguely able to see a question mark appearing over his head.

Does this... look different?

"Yes."

Since the stylist had said so, Liu Xin’an didn’t argue. He nodded, took a sip of the coffee that an assistant nad Xiao Wu had brought him, and perked up.

anwhile, the manager surnad Cheng also walked in. First, he smiled and greeted the two who had just arrived; then, he turned to Liu Xin’an.

"Xin’an, here are the questions for the show, could you check and see if there’s anything we shouldn’t ask?"

Liu Xin’an nodded, took the stack of papers, and looked at Lee Soongyu.

"Sunny, these are the questions you’ll need to answer from fans during the live broadcast, check if there’s anything inconvenient for you."

"Oh, alright, just tell ."

The questions were mostly standard and not too sensitive.

After all, this small platform was here to collaborate with S-M, not to create trouble.

While screening the questions, they had already filtered out those that seed a bit strange.

After confirming there were no issues, Liu Xin’an nodded towards manager Cheng.

"There’s no problem."

"That’s fine then. You guys chat; I’ll go out to continue adjusting the equipnt."

Actually, there was still about two hours left until the live broadcast, so there was plenty of ti.

But since the broadcast was taking place here and the servers were set up back in China, it was best to get the adjustnts right early, to avoid any technical issues during the live broadcast.

After discussing the content-related issues with Lee Soongyu, Liu Xin’an wasn’t planning to chat more with the two.

He took out his phone, opened the chat interface with his girlfriend, and started to pass the ti.

It took less than thirty seconds for Bae Juhyun to respond to him.

"Photo?"

The question from his girlfriend made Liu Xin’an a bit embarrassed, taking a selfie in this makeup room crowded with people... he really didn’t have the nerve for that.

"Too many people, let’s wait a bit."

He replied like this.

Then Bae Juhyun responded to him with even greater speed.

"Did Taeyeon and Sunny already arrive?"

"Yeah, had a brief chat, they don’t seem that hard to approach, quite friendly actually."

This ti Bae Juhyun didn’t reply so quickly.

After a short wait without a response from his girlfriend, instead another female voice erged near his right ear.

Lee Soongyu was sitting on his left, which ant...

"Chatting with your girlfriend?"

Kim Taeyeon had sohow erged from her earlier drowsy state, now cheerfully turning her head to look at him.

Compared to the one called Lee Soongyu she had spoken with earlier, Kim Taeyeon’s voice was slightly softer.

"Ah? Oh... yes." Liu Xin’an thought for a second and didn’t deny it but smiled and nodded instead.

"Eh~ you already have a girlfriend, huh? She must be very pretty since you’re so handso?"

Kim Taeyeon asked with a look of surprise but sohow Liu Xin’an felt there was sothing odd about her expression.

However, he didn’t know her well, so he could only assu her surprised face was just... like that?

"To , she is the most beautiful."

"Oh~ that’s very sweet."

Facing the teasing from this woman called Kim Taeyeon, Liu Xin’an responded with just a polite smile.

The feelings she gave off were different from Lee Soongyu sitting next door.

How to put it, he felt this Kim Taeyeon was sowhat greasy?

Yes! Greasy!

Kim Taeyeon didn’t know what Liu Xin’an was really thinking about her, as she still thought her expression of surprise was spot on!

Lee Soongyu really couldn’t stand watching this anymore. Didn’t this person realize whether she had any acting talent or not?

She tilted her head towards Liu Xin’an and said, "Isn’t there a part at the end where we read out the top ten fans’ IDs?"

"Ah, right, there’s that part, where the top ten fans get our photos and have their IDs read out. I’ll guide you through it then."

"Oh, that sounds like fun."

The awkward conversation ca to an end.

With Lee Soongyu’s interjection, Kim Taeyeon also seed to realize that her earlier behavior was a bit strange, and to protect Bae Juhyun’s identity, Kim Taeyeon unwillingly clamd up.

Was her acting really that bad?

———

Since Liu Xin’an had arrived earlier than the two won, and because he was a man who wasn’t so particular about makeup and hair, he quickly escaped the makeup room and arrived first at the main live streaming studio where they would soon broadcast.

Of course, during the live broadcast, it was impossible for him to translate two people’s words, play gas, and still converse with them all by himself.

Therefore, apart from him, there were also two translators specifically tasked to simultaneously interpret the words of Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soongyu on site.

However, these two wouldn’t have the opportunity to show their faces or join in playing gas with Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soongyu.

Liu Xin’an first greeted his two compatriots with a simple conversation and then tried out the mobile phone provided for the event.

Playing the ga was definitely not a problem, but there would be so slight lag during the ga screen broadcast.

He glanced once more at the account provided for the activity.

Bronze...

Alright, Liu Xin’an fairly understood what was really going on today.

He didn’t believe these two female celebrities, who ca to "earn so rice" like him, would actually play this ga in their spare ti.

Being able to pick up a gun, walk, and not die imdiately was considered a success!
