CHAPTER 708: 361. SEIZING LEISURE AMIDST BUSYNESS_3

They had to get up early tomorrow to go to the beauty salon and prepare their makeup and styling. If they ate now and then went to sleep, their faces would definitely be swollen in the morning.

Going to the beauty salon with such a messy face would definitely get them scolded by the stylists there, so even though Bae Juhyun really wanted to eat something, she had to endure it.

"Can you eat it?"

"No, so I’m just thinking about it."

The woman on the phone flashed a bright smile, her eyes sparkling, not particularly upset.

This wasn’t the first time something like this had happened...

Soon, Bae Juhyun’s nose twitched, and her beautiful eyes instantly lit up.

"Hey! Did you guys order takeout?"

She suddenly turned her head to the side and shouted.

Then, she looked at Liu Xin’an on her phone screen, blinking guiltily.

Liu Xin’an couldn’t stop laughing, "If I stop you now, will you be very unhappy?"

"Xin’an~"

Her nasal voiced, coquettish tone made Liu Xin’an completely defenseless. He laughed and waved his hand, "Go ahead, just don’t eat too much."

"I’m not eating; I’m going to teach these naughty girls a lesson. We have work tomorrow morning, and they’re still not prioritizing!"

If it weren’t for her wandering eyes, Liu Xin’an might have believed Bae Juhyun’s explanation.

But now...

"Go ahead, but let me know before you go to sleep."

"I’ll eat a bit and then come back to continue chatting with you!"

The feeling of hunger took over, and the impulsive Miss Bae didn’t even realize her slip exposed her true intentions. After hurriedly saying that, she carelessly tossed her phone onto the bed.

Following a few hurried footsteps and the sound of a door closing, Liu Xin’an could only see the white ceiling on the screen.

He helplessly shook his head, ended the video call, and walked out of the room with his phone.

"Hmm? So quick?"

"She’s gone to eat a midnight snack."

"Oh, got ignored, huh? Hahaha."

Li Chenglu mercilessly laughed at Liu Xin’an while the pile of fried chicken in front of her seemed untouched.

"You ordered so much; you’d better eat it all. If you waste food, I’ll tell Dad."

"...What’s wrong with you? You’d tell on something like this? I didn’t even spend your money."

"Because you’re disgusting me."

"Fine, I’ll shut up, okay?"

You couldn’t provoke men and women in love.

Feeling helpless, Li Chenglu spread her hands and then motioned for Liu Xin’an to sit down. She didn’t want her television watching to be interrupted.

At that moment, the TV was airing a variety show that Liu Xin’an hadn’t seen before.

He had caught up on a lot of shows featuring his girlfriend’s group, but other groups’ shows were still mostly unfamiliar to him.

Since Bae Juhyun wasn’t there to keep him company, he thought for half a second, then sat down on the sofa to watch the variety show with Li Chenglu.

Even if he didn’t know the people, watching for fun was still fine.

After watching for a while and eating a few pieces of fried chicken, the phone on the table started vibrating again.

He glanced at Li Chenglu and stood up.

Li Chenglu noticed his movements, "Irene already knows we’re having midnight snacks. Just take the call here~"

Subtext: She wanted to hear the gossip.

Liu Xin’an certainly wouldn’t give her that chance. He bit off the disposable gloves, flexed his slightly warm and moist hand, and returned to his room with his phone.

"What did you eat?"

"Sooyoung ordered burgers. They’re super delicious."

Bae Juhyun instinctively replied, then quickly realized her slip and tried to cover it up, "Ah, it’s not that I wanted to eat. Seulgi and the others forced me to eat!"

"It’s fine if you eat. I’m not Taekyon; I won’t control you guys."

"I’m just afraid you’ll tattle to Taekyon."

Bae Juhyun honestly shared her concern.

This time, Liu Xin’an was more speechless. What was he, an elementary school student who reported everything?

Realizing her statement was a bit absurd, Bae Juhyun awkwardly chuckled.

"What time is the schedule tomorrow?"

"We probably have to get up around 4 a.m. to go to the beauty salon. By the time we finish with makeup and styling, it’ll be morning... and we have a whole bunch of shoots waiting for us."

Talking about work made Bae Juhyun excited.

Having a busy schedule was indeed tiring, but for the Red Velvet members, who had been idle for a long time, having work and being busy was much better than waiting at home for half a month without any schedules.

Bae Juhyun, in particular, hadn’t had a job in almost a year, becoming a very idle couch potato.

Well, she was referring to comeback stages and promotions; the variety show she participated in China wasn’t included.

After all, she hadn’t appeared in the main show.

"Looking forward to it?"

"Yes! So many fans said we look great together today."

Bae Juhyun excitedly talked to Liu Xin’an about the comments she saw on fan sites and hot searches this afternoon, her happy smile was contagious even over the phone.

"I saw that, but during my live stream, a lot of fans were making fun of me."

"Oh? Why?"

"Everyone seems to care about whether you guys matter to me or not."

"Hahaha, really? Do fans actually say that?"

"A lot of people recognized me at the fan signing event this afternoon, so during the live stream in the evening, quite a few people asked about it."

"How did you respond?"

Seeing Bae Juhyun’s expectant face on the screen, Liu Xin’an playfully kept her in suspense.

"Guess."

"Hey!! You bad guy!!"

He loved seeing Bae Juhyun flustered but helpless. She was just too adorable at those moments.
