Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?-Chapter 1369 - 583: Even Unreliable Childhood Friends Have Their Reliable Moments

Bae Juhyun's work has resumed its normal course, and after a good rest, Liu Xin'an has also rearranged his livestream schedule.

Changes, naturally, are not much; a proposal is not a marriage, and these are all still plans at the moment.

However, it's not many days until December 9th, the date initially agreed upon with Kang Seulgi and the others, and Liu Xin'an, after careful thought, realized Bae Juhyun might not be available to meet her on that day.

Hmm... looks like several sets of plans need to be prepared.

It's not quite enough to just rely on those two; even though Li Chenglu is somewhat unreliable in normal times, she can play a decisive role in situations like this.

Liu Xin'an didn't hesitate at all; after lunch, he called his childhood friend.

Unexpectedly...

"What the...? She hung up on me."

Listening to the busy tone in the phone receiver, Liu Xin'an looked shocked.

But before he had a chance to message and ask Li Chenglu, the doorbell at his house rang.

He was taken aback at first, quickly moving to the door, and through the peephole saw it was Li Chenglu standing there, which left him bewildered as he opened the door.

"What's going on?"

Li Chenglu stayed silent, trudging in with a suitcase, and then sat down with an air of frustration.

Seeing her expression, Liu Xin'an immediately sensed the cause.

"What did Auntie say?"

"The same old stuff, urging marriage, pressuring me, and I talked back, then we argued."

"So you came to seek refuge with me? Just so you know, I won't help you hide it."

"Didn't expect you to. Auntie won't come to catch me anyway."

It's obvious that Li Chenglu was truly upset, otherwise she wouldn't refer to her mom as "Auntie."

"Geez, what was said..."

"Call Juhyun and let her know about me coming over, then I'll crash at her place."

Liu Xin'an nodded, not refusing.

Even if Bae Juhyun knows that he and Li Chenglu have a purely familial relationship, it's still necessary to avoid suspicion.

He casually dialed Bae Juhyun's number, waiting for a moment but no one answered, he shrugged.

"She must be busy, so how long do you plan to stay here? What about work with Old Wang? Not busy?"

"I'm on vacation, for half a month, planning to go have fun at my Uncle's place."

"If Auntie finds out, she might be furious."

"So what? If she pushes me more, I'd bring home a male celebrity!"

"What?"

Li Chenglu froze, waving her hand: "I'm not hinting at you, Juhyun is different from those bad kids."

"Tsk, you've just dismissed all male celebrities at once, huh."

"Shoo shoo, get me a bottle of water, I'm exhausted."

Li Chenglu ordered Liu Xin'an around like a boss.

Normally, Liu Xin'an would've tossed a pillow at her; serving Li Chenglu was out of the question.

But now, he was in a position where he needed her help.

A bottle of mineral water with the cap opened startled Li Chenglu; she took it but didn't drink, first eyeing the bottle suspiciously, then remembered receiving Liu Xin'an's call while walking.

He acts courteous without reason!

She capped the bottle, set it aside, and looked at Liu Xin'an cautiously.

"Let me be clear, I can't lend you money; I'm not as wealthy as you."

"Your little stash doesn't interest me, I want to ask you something."

"Ask me? Go ahead, what is it? If it's translation-related, I charge standard rates."

Even between close siblings, everything should be clear; so between siblings, accounts must be settled clearly.

"I plan to propose to Juhyun."

"I thought you needed help with translation... huh?"

Initially relieved about not having to work during her vacation, Li Chenglu quickly registered the details of Liu Xin'an's words which left her stunned, and an uncontrollable excitement spread in her eyes.

"What the...!"

A classic expletive echoed loudly in this small place called Korea; thankfully only Liu Xin'an and Bae Juhyun lived in this floor, otherwise, he truly wondered if someone would have come knocking about noise disturbance.

"Why are you shouting so loud."

"What the hell, what the hell, why did things progress so quickly?!"

"...What progress do you think we should be at now?"

"With your awkward personality, I thought I'd need to wait another year before you'd realize and propose to Juhyun... so tell me, when and how do you plan to do it?"

Li Chenglu, eyes lit up, straightened her back, excitedly questioning Liu Xin'an for every detail about the proposal, bombarding him with questions leaving him dizzy.

"Step by step, it's still the preparatory stage, I've already enlisted Seulgi and Seungwan, the two of them will keep an eye on Juhyun for me."

"What about me? What should I do?"

"Help me think of a proposal method that's neither cliché nor overly emotional."

This question froze the smile on Li Chenglu's face.

This kid really knows how to get things done, giving her the most troublesome task, right?

"Isn't it a bit much to ask for someone like me, who has never received a proposal, to think about this kind of thing?"

"Weren't you reading loads of romance novels in middle and high school? Help me find some templates?"

Liu Xin'an is confident in handling everything, but proposing is not a matter that can be improved just by effort.

"You already said middle and high school, those only fool students, Juhyun is someone in the entertainment industry, she's seen it all, hasn't she?"
