my artist neighbor

Chapter 354 352. The Arrival of August (Thanks to Huan Yu for his silver lord! 1940)

"elder brother."

Liu Xin'an greeted Cheng Taiqian with a smile.

"It may take a while before it ends." Cheng Taiqian counted the time, then looked at Liu Xin'an, smiled and reached out to pat Liu Xin'an's shoulder, "Happy birthday, Xin'an."

"Brother Taiqian knows my birthday?"

"Irene told me, but I just found out that in a few days, it's too late to prepare gifts and so on. Let me treat you to dinner tonight."

It's also interesting to say, compared to Mr. Kim's cautious treatment of him, Cheng Tae-qian is much more natural.

Probably because he was already familiar with Liu Xin'an, and knew what kind of character Liu Xin'an was like.

Of course, this did not prevent him from being shocked when he learned the identity of the visitor yesterday.

"I still have activities there in the evening, next time, Brother Taiqian, I have received your favor."

"Activity on your site?"

"Yes, it's similar to Zhuxuan's birthday live broadcast. I'm a celebrity anyway, and I want to open a live broadcast to give back to the water friends."

Liu Xin'an laughed and teased himself, his humble appearance was hard to offend.

"Is that so, do we need to let everyone appear on camera together?"

"Ah, there's no need for that. My water friends came to see me, not them."

"Hahaha, that's right."

Cheng Taiqian is a smart man, he didn't rely on his closeness to Liu Xin'an to ask Liu Xin'an about what happened yesterday.

Pei Zhuxuan obviously did not intend to cooperate, and he did not intend to seek any breakthrough from Liu Xin'an.

Anyway, Liu Xin'an will definitely not harm Pei Zhuxuan, nor will he harm Red velvet.

As long as Red velvet's status in the company gets higher and higher, his treatment will naturally rise as well.

If you know too much, you may even make yourself a show.

"The content of this filming is also ready to be released, will the content of the MV be exposed?"

"Anyway, it's filmed first, and it can be released at any time. The show hasn't finished yet, so don't worry too much about the popularity. Besides, there are promotional videos of you and Irene that can be used."

The variety show led by Xiaopozhan has not yet finished broadcasting, so the popularity has indeed remained high as Cheng Taiqian said.

It was two days ago that the video that revealed the real relationship between the two of them was released.

In an era when hot spots are quickly forgotten, the impact of this incident has not been as great as the first two days.

However, Liu Xin'an can still see piles of inquiries and private messages in the background.

Hmm. Anyway, just pretend to be stupid, neither admit nor deny, these days anyway, he doesn't plan to let "Little Bamboo" appear again, and first hide it completely.

As for Goryeo
This thing didn't splash at all.

It is estimated that SM intervened and suppressed the heat of this matter.

I have to say that a professional agency like SM really has a hand in controlling public opinion.

There are no external worries, and no internal troubles at all, and every day after that is relatively ordinary.

Liu Xin'an still insists on going to SM every three days to cooperate with Red Velvet's comeback filming. This is the contract he signed with Mr. Kim during the filming of the variety show.

In addition, Pei Zhuxuan, who was busy preparing for her return, also completely shifted her focus from "love" to "work".

In such a state, this July has come to an end.

---

Before the return, there was a lot of work. Although Liu Xin'an didn't ask Pei Zhuxuan specifically, it can already be reflected in the fact that the number of chats between the two of them on the chat software is getting less and less.

Promoting, appearing on shows, recording and playing songs on the stage. All kinds of things were mixed together, so that Pei Zhuxuan didn't even have the idea of ​​sorting out his mood and chatting with Liu Xin'an with his mobile phone.

When people are very tired, they will not be distracted to think about other things, not to mention that this is a very important return to them.

"You have worked hard."

Standing in front of the younger sisters, Pei Zhuxuan bowed and thanked the presenter who just finished filming with them.

"Oh! Looking forward to your return, come on!"

"Thank you!"

After leading the younger sisters to bow again, Pei Zhuxuan pursed her lips lightly, followed Cheng Taiqian, and walked towards the nanny's car on the side of the road.

The pitch-black sky made it impossible to tell the time at all. The members who came to the car were all lazily leaning on their seats, not wanting to say a word.

Pei Zhuxuan, who was sitting a little closer to the front, tried his best to talk to the co-pilot Cheng Taeqian in a low voice.

"Brother Taiqian, what's the itinerary?"

Yes, the journey is not over.

"A fashion magazine interview, the question is here, you sort out the answers yourself, and then tell me."

"Oh, good."

Pei Zhuxuan nodded, reached out to take the information that Cheng Taiqian handed over, took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight function, and did not choose to turn on the lights in the back row.

Yawning quietly and looking at the documents like this, Jiang Seulgi's sudden voice startled Pei Zhuxuan who was focused.

"Ms. Joohyun"

"Ah! I was taken aback. Didn't you sleep?"

Today I got up at four o'clock in the morning to go to the beauty room to prepare makeup and styling, and then I went to shoot variety shows early in the morning.

Everyone's spirit is very tired.

Therefore, the members fell asleep after getting into the car.

"Take a break too."

The captain always has to work harder than the ordinary members, not to mention that Pei Zhuxuan has always been the big sister who takes care of the younger sisters.

The humility of the young and old in this country has reached an almost pathological level, but it is also because of this deep-rooted concept that Pei Zhuxuan is very aware of her responsibility as a "sister".

These things are what she should do.

"I'm fine, you sleep with you." Pei Zhuxuan smiled and waved her hands, looked back at the three people who were sleeping soundly together in the back seat, smiled dotingly, and at the same time got up slightly to wipe the hair that was about to slip off Sun Shengwan's body. The lowered blanket was pulled up.

August is already a very hot summer, and the air conditioner in the car is fully turned on. If you don't cover yourself with a blanket, you may catch a cold.

During this period, you must not catch a cold.

"Brother Taiqian, when will the interview start?"

"10:30, until twelve o'clock. Although the content of the interview is only released in text form, the status is still very important. Erin, you should sleep for a while."

"10:30." Pei Zhuxuan glanced at the time, it took about an hour to drive back to the company from here, and it was nine o'clock in the evening.

In other words, she can probably sleep in the car for more than an hour.

Instead of insisting, she set the alarm clock, closed the documents in her hand, leaned her head against the seat, and relaxed.

"Then I'll sleep for a while too."

"Okay, I'll call you soon."

Pei Zhuxuan smiled at Jiang Seulqi who was on the side, and then she relaxed, and said something that made Jiang Seulqi's pupils tremble.

"That guy told you to keep an eye on me."

Jiang Seulqi looked away guiltily, and at the same time, the cell phone in her hand lighted up slightly.

Just as Pei Zhuxuan guessed, Jiang Seulqi did receive Liu Xinan's request.

Of course, this doesn't mean that without Liu Xin'an, she wouldn't care about Pei Zhuxuan's situation.

Helping Liu Xin'an was just incidental.

"It seems that you haven't called Liu Xin'an much recently. I'm also worried. I'm sorry, sister Zhuxuan, I was meddling in my own business."

After all, this is Pei Zhuxuan's and Liu Xin'an's own business, and she naturally saw the diminished contact between the two. She took the initiative to contact Liu Xin'an from the starting point of worrying about Pei Zhuxuan, and then Liu Xin'an asked her to help take care of Pei Zhuxuan this matter.

"It's okay, everything is normal between us, it's just that we haven't been in touch recently." Pei Zhuxuan yawned and whispered, and after a while, only the sound of even breathing remained.

Looking at Pei Zhuxuan who was gradually falling into a deep sleep, Jiang Seulqi heaved a sigh of relief. She took out her mobile phone and began to reply Liu Xinan's message.

"Miss Zhuxuan has already fallen asleep, you can rest assured."

Soon, Liu Xin'an's reply was also sent.

"Thank you Seul-gi, I will treat you to a big meal when you are not busy, and you should take a rest too."

"Um"

Jiang Seulqi's reply reassured Liu Xin'an. As the "neglected" person, he actually has a better understanding of Pei Zhuxuan's busyness.

In fact, strictly speaking, it wasn't that Pei Zhuxuan had less contact with him, but that he took the initiative to ask Pei Zhuxuan not to fight exhaustion to maintain their daily chat.

In the first few days when Pei Zhuxuan was busy, Pei Zhuxuan would still open a video call with him before going to bed.

But as Pei Zhuxuan's face became more and more tired, Liu Xin'an couldn't stand it anymore.

That's why he asked Pei Zhuxuan to reduce the frequency of chatting with him.

So that the time saved can let Pei Zhuxuan rest.

But this is already so busy before the official comeback?
For the first time, Liu Xin'an realized how scary it is for an artist to be busy.

When running schedules with Twice, he never felt so hard for Lin Nayeon and the others.
"Okay, let's continue the live broadcast."

Liu Xin'an sorted out his emotions, raised his head and looked at the screen dedicated to prompting barrage, and said so to the audience who had been waiting for a long time.

[Is it a message from Sister Zhuzi? 】

[Why did you hit three just now Why did you hit three just now Why did you hit three just now]

[Sister Zhuzi hasn't shown up in the live broadcast room for a long time? 】

【bamboo!Bamboo How can I live without you Bamboo! 】

"Recently, your elder sister Zhuzi has been working hard. I just told her to go to bed early. As for those who appear on camera, there is no rush. I will ask her when she is free."

That trumpet had been taken back by Pei Zhuxuan, but after regaining the trumpet, Pei Zhuxuan didn't speak carelessly on the trumpet, she just read private messages at most.

【Good good good good】

[Brother An Zi spend more time with Sister Zhuzi, if the work is hard, isn't it the time when I need you as a boyfriend? 】

[Indeed, Brother An Zi, you shouldn't be broadcasting live at this time, but go to Sister Zhuzi's side and accompany her well. 】

Liu Xin'an was amused by the barrage of the water friends. He laughed out loud, but he didn't continue to reply, but just started the game again.

When Pei Zhuxuan finished today's schedule and returned home, it was already 01:30 in the middle of the night, almost two o'clock.

She didn't go back to the dormitory with her today, mainly because she had a morning break tomorrow.

This is the first serious rest time since Pei Zhuxuan started preparing for the comeback.

It belongs to the kind of rest that does not need to think about work at all, and can completely relax.

If there is no accident, this morning should be spent in sleep, after all, she sleeps too little during this time.

However, before rest, adequate washing is necessary.

To keep your skin in such a busy job, skin maintenance and care are essential.

After removing all the makeup and changing into a comfortable nightgown, Pei Zhuxuan glanced at her bed, and then looked at the wall.

Liu Xin'an re-signed the rental contract not long ago. After all, Liu Xin'an only rented for half a year at the beginning.

And this time the lease is renewed for two years, in other words, Liu Xin'an has already made plans to live here for two years.

As for the purpose. It's very simple, just because of her.

Washing, and the touch of the cool skin care products on her face partially made her tiredness disappear.

Instead, it was the sense of urgency to see Liu Xin'an.

This idea flashed in Pei Zhuxuan's mind, and took root at an extremely fast speed, so she walked straight past her bed and left her bedroom.

After a few minutes, Pei Zhuxuan pushed open the door of Liu Xin'an's house, and then tiptoed to the door of Liu Xin'an's bedroom.

An hour and a half ago, Liu Xin'an had already left her a message saying that he had already fallen asleep, so at this time, Liu Xin'an had probably already fallen asleep.

Hmm. Does this count as a night raid?
This thought made Pei Zhuxuan purse her lips, and a slight smile appeared on her face.

She first glanced at the monitor that Liu Xin'an had installed for her in her mobile phone, and after confirming that there was no one in the game live broadcast room, she gently opened the closed bedroom door.

The air conditioner is on in the bedroom, which is much cooler than the living room.

The cool feeling also made Pei Zhuxuan relax a lot comfortably. Through the moonlight, Pei Zhuxuan saw clearly the man on the bed who was sleeping peacefully.

In fact, she doesn't mean that she has no contact with Liu Xin'an at all. Don't forget, in order to increase the popularity of this comeback, they have been cooperating with Liu Xin'an to shoot various videos.

According to Cheng Taiqian, these videos posted on the Xiaopo website are specially for Chinese fans.

Now they are worth far more than before, and the letter from the Busan consulate greatly increased their worth.

At this time, it is very normal to please Huaxia fans.

But when filming, she still had to pretend that she was not familiar with Liu Xin'an, and there were not many opportunities to make them get close as a couple.

At this time, just looking at Liu Xin'an from a distance like this, the excitement in Pei Zhuxuan's heart has completely dissipated the fatigue caused by many days of work.

Excited, she didn't do anything to jump onto Liu Xin'an's bed to wake up the sleeping man, but walked carefully to the edge of the bed and sat down gently.

After confirming that her arrival did not wake up the sleeping Liu Xin'an, Pei Zhuxuan climbed onto the bed with both hands and feet, and then lay quietly beside Liu Xin'an.

Then, she reached out and hugged the man's arm in her arms, smiled sweetly, said "good night" softly, and then closed her eyes with peace of mind.

From the beginning to the end, the sleeping Liu Xin'an didn't realize that there was a charming person beside him.

It wasn't until the powerful biological clock woke him up from his sleep that the weight on his right arm and the extremely soft touch made him suddenly open his eyes.

There is a lotus root arm across his chest, his black hair is scattered on his shoulders, his even breathing and that highly recognizable small face also reveal the true identity of the people around him.

Liu Xin'an was stunned for a while, and then smiled.

Instead of waking up the sleeping woman beside him, he reached out to pick up the mobile phone beside him, and then turned off the alarm clock to prevent him from oversleeping.

After raising the temperature of the air conditioner by one degree, Liu Xin'an turned around gently and held Pei Zhuxuan in his arms.

This intimate hugging position didn't last long, because he was pushed away by Pei Zhuxuan who woke up hot.

"Not hot."

Summer is not a particularly friendly season for couples, especially for couples who are close and like to hug and sleep
This damn weather is completely different from winter, Liu Xin'an is a person with a relatively hot body, and Pei Zhuxuan's body is a weak one because of her body management all year round.
Those who are physically weak are cold, so in winter, Pei Zhuxuan likes to hug Liu Xin'an while sleeping, because Liu Xin'an hugs him like a big stove, quite comfortable.

Similarly, Pei Zhuxuan's body is soft and cool, and Liu Xin'an, who is prone to heat, also likes the feeling of holding Pei Zhuxuan very much.

But this kind of relationship won't work in Xia Tian.

At least for Pei Zhuxuan, Liu Xin'an, who is already relatively hot, is far less fond of hugging her than winter.

"Wow, it's really ruthless, Ms. Pei Zhuxuan."

Liu Xin'an's innocent voice made the sleeping Pei Zhuxuan reluctantly open her beautiful eyes.

"...You're too hot, don't hug me."

"Can you lower the temperature for me?"

"What time is it?"

"seven o 'clock."

This time made Pei Zhuxuan stop breathing for a few seconds, she closed her eyes irritably, and expressed the four characters "Don't disturb me" with her movements.

She didn't go to bed until two o'clock!That's five hours of sleep! !
She's going to sleep until eleven o'clock today!No one can stop her!

Knowing that Pei Zhuxuan was sleepy, Liu Xin'an didn't bother her too much, he lightened his movements of getting up, carefully left the bed, and came to the living room.

The sun shines on the floor of the living room, successfully raising the temperature of the living room.

Liu Xin'an opened the window to ventilate, and walked into the bathroom.

After washing up, Liu Xin'an turned on the air conditioner in the living room and dialed Cheng Taiqian's number.

"Brother Taiqian, does Zhuxuan have any work this afternoon?"

"Well." Liu Xin'an glanced at the direction of the bedroom, and after thinking for a while, he still said, "Since it's not a particularly important schedule, why can't we let them rest for an extra afternoon?"
