Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?-Chapter 1404 - 600: First Encounter with Running Man (Part 2)

Finally, the sleepy-eyed Miss Bae slowly opened her eyes. The moment their eyes met, her beautiful eyes squinted into crescents, and she snuggled her cheek up to him affectionately.

"Morning~"

She said softly.

Liu Xin'an tightened his arms, finding ways to be active even while lazing in bed.

"Morning."

"Hey!"

...

But the consequence of their early morning antics meant the two of them didn't have much time for a leisurely breakfast.

So when the two sat in the nanny car brought by Seong Taekyon, Bae Juhyun immediately asked Taekyon to prepare breakfast for them.

Running Man no longer places as much emphasis on tearing name tags. The show has gradually become more news-talk show oriented.

But in recent days, Bae Juhyun hadn't missed any recent episodes of Running Man and knew quite well that there was a chance of not having lunch if you attended the show.

So, filling their stomachs before official filming became very necessary.

"Gimbap."

She told Seong Taekyon, then glanced sideways with her beautiful whites at the man beside her.

Liu Xin'an didn't dare to breathe too loudly, but he actually felt quite wronged because... he wasn't the only one enjoying it!

"What's today's theme?"

"Group competition, you and Xin'an have to be separated."

"Separated?"

"Of course you have to be separated. Both of you are guests, you definitely can't be in the same group, it's hard to share the screen, and… do you think anyone on RM would let you and Xin'an be in the same group?"

Seong Taekyon chuckled as he teased, and hearing this, Bae Juhyun became a bit calmer.

Indeed, she had participated in RM quite a few times before and knew very well that today she and Liu Xin'an would absolutely be teased mercilessly by the seniors...

The frustrating thing is that this show isn't like "Knowing Bros", where if she gets teased too much, she can still act all indignant.

Here...

She wouldn't dare to even raise her voice, let alone act all indignant.

No way, the lineup of MCs is too intimidating.

"Come on Bro" is set up like "classmates", but "RM" isn't...

"So Juhyun and I are supposed to become competitors there?"

"Yes."

Listening to the exchange between Liu Xin'an and Seong Taekyon, Bae Juhyun sat in her seat, turned her head to look out the window, and fell into deep thought.

She pondered what aspects she excelled over Liu Xin'an.

But until the nanny car stopped at the beauty salon, Bae Juhyun still hadn't thought of any area where she was better than Liu Xin'an.

She couldn't possibly compare her professional singing and dancing skills with Liu Xin'an!

Besides those professional skills...

Well, it seemed she had nothing else.

Then she tilted her head to look at Liu Xin'an.

When Liu Xin'an looked at her in confusion, she reached out her fair little hand and angrily pinched her boyfriend's soft cheek.

"You rascal!!"

"???"

Liu Xin'an was dumbfounded. What had he done?

Why was he being pinched?

...

Preparing for makeup and hairstyle was already second nature to Liu Xin'an.

It's hard to imagine that the cheerful man in the mirror wearing a brown coat with a stylish hairstyle was someone who, just over two years ago, wouldn't dare to step on stage without wearing a small TV headgear due to his shyness.

And all this was thanks to the beautiful woman standing beside him in a black coat with bright red lips and white teeth.

The height difference of 1.81 to 1.58 made the pair look so harmonious together. Yes, Bae Juhyun was wearing very thick-soled sneakers.

And the smiles both wore while looking into the mirror were meticulously recorded by the woman's phone in her hand.

"Stop filming, we have to go."

"Okay~"

Bae Juhyun obediently replied, then reached out to hug her boyfriend's arm, completely ignoring the curious gazes from others in the salon, dragging Liu Xin'an out in a hurry.

Having eaten breakfast and woken up, the two were now in their best state.

Not long after, the nanny car stopped at the filming site for this RM episode.

As per usual, before shooting, the first thing to do was to greet the director and the MCs.

Bae Juhyun and Liu Xin'an were considered very junior newcomers here, so they quickly got out of the car, and with Seong Taekyon's lead, they met the man with a crooked set of teeth, wearing glasses, and exuding a strong aura of friendliness with his smile.

Yes, it was Yoo Jaesuk, the grasshopper, who has absolute prestige in RM and even the entire variety industry.

Yoo Jaesuk quickly noticed the arrival of Bae Juhyun and Liu Xin'an.

These two have been causing quite a stir in the entertainment circle over the past two years. Seeing is believing, Yoo Jaesuk quickly stood up, smiling politely at these juniors.

"Hello, Senior!"

Bae Juhyun bowed respectfully to him, and Liu Xin'an also slightly bowed, conducting themselves very politely. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Wow~ Irene, your news has been all over the place recently."

He naturally flashed his signature smile at Bae Juhyun, unable to resist teasing the beautiful girl who in the past two years has constantly shaken up the entertainment industry.

He loved guiding juniors, and the few times Bae Juhyun had participated in the show before, she always presented herself as very well-behaved and reserved, quite contrary to how rumors portrayed her.

Now that Bae Juhyun had overcome past shadows and even risen higher, as a senior in the entertainment industry, he naturally felt happy for her.

After greeting Bae Juhyun, he then turned to that tall and straight man standing beside her.

The tall and strong figure paired with a face even he couldn't help but admire. The handsome and firm man's smile unconsciously warmed the heart.

The genuine kindness is something Yoo Jaesuk greatly admired, after all... he also had the same type of charisma, though not as physically striking.

"Aren't you going to introduce me?"

The giant senior's teasing made Bae Juhyun a bit embarrassed, but she reacted quickly, moving closer to her boyfriend's side.

"Senior, this is my boyfriend, Liu Xin'an. He doesn't have much experience in outdoor variety shows, so we'll be relying on your guidance and that of the director's for today's recording."

"Hello Senior Yoo Jaesuk, hello Director."

Liu Xin'an had a humble, gentlemanly smile that was hard to resist.

"Wow~ he is truly a very handsome man."

"You flatter me, thank you. Please take care of today's shooting."

"Hahaha, it's no problem at all. But Mr. Liu Xin'an, your Korean is really good... Although I've seen you on TV before, meeting you in person, you feel just like one of us."

"Perhaps it's because my mother is from Seoul, and from a young age, she taught me Korean."

"Your mother must be truly remarkable."

Liu Xin'an was extremely filial, so hearing someone praise his parents, the smile on his face became less formal and more genuine and pure.

"Yes! I have a very remarkable mother."

"Rest assured, we'll take care of the filming today. Please relax, especially you, Irene. You couldn't really open up in past recordings. Now with your boyfriend here, you should be a bit more relaxed, right?"

"Yes... I will try my best!"

Yoo Jaesuk looked rather helplessly at the extremely nervous Bae Juhyun and then shifted his focus to the man standing upright at her side.

Compared to the nervous Bae Juhyun, it was unexpected how calm Liu Xin'an appeared upon their first meeting.

He had heard from many that Liu Xin'an has a strong variety sense... he should keep an eye on this young fellow later.

But unfortunately...

"Truly handsome indeed."

"Thank you."

This face is perfect for acting, but if taking the variety show route...

Liu Xin'an's excessively handsome looks might become a stumbling block.

Of course, Liu Xin'an never intended to become a variety star, and Yoo Jaesuk's interest was a typical reflex to guide a junior.
