my artist neighbor

On June 2022, 6, these 17 lucky fans who had been drawn from the beginning of the event arrived in Xiamen from all over the country.

The venue for this fan meeting is a very beautiful small theater in Xiamen. The overall scale is small, and it usually only accommodates a few hundred guests. Today, there are only 150 fans present, so it will not be very crowded.

Sitting in the taxi, Ding Yu tilted his head and looked at the street scene flashing past the car window, with an expectant smile on his face.

"Did you come to Xiamen for tourism?"

The taxi driver was very hospitable. He seemed to sense Ding Yu's mood and asked with a smile.

Ding Yu was taken aback for a moment, she pursed her lips in fear, and nodded cautiously, not intending to continue the conversation.

"Is there a performance at the theater today? I dragged two of them to the theater today."

The driver is not young anymore, he is not as keen on entertainment news as a young man, but judging from today's appearance, it seems that there is some performance in the theater today.

Hearing the driver's mention of the theater, Ding Yu hesitated for a few seconds, finally nodded silently, and replied softly:

"Um."

"No wonder."

Such a quiet Ding Yu also let the driver understand that the third passenger he pulled to the theater today is a little girl who is not good at words, so he did not continue to put pressure on Ding Yu, but drove seriously. The car was driving steadily towards the theater.

Ding Yu also heaved a sigh of relief when the quiet interior of the car was restored again. She looked down at her phone, and the corners of her lips that had been pursed before slightly raised a smile.

At the same time, her little fair hand was constantly active on the screen of the phone.

Soon, a string of text was sent from her hand.

Xiaoyu: "Master is coming soon hahahaha, you unlucky bastards envy me!"

Hmm... I can see that this is a real Internet giant.

The journey wasn't very long, and soon, Ding Yu scanned the driver's payment code, settled the fare for his trip this time, and then officially got off the car.

She didn't bring any luggage, the main reason is that she came here on a leave of absence, and she will fly back to Changsha early tomorrow morning. This time, she came here just to meet the girls she had liked for eight years. And myself.

2014 was a very lively year for kpop.

It was also in that year that she, who was dealt an infinite blow by Girls' Generation, came into contact with the existence called Red Velvet.

There is no special story, just a song called "Happiness" was accidentally heard on a boring night, and she met the four people who were still called "Parrot Group" by many people at that time, and then she was very happy. Years fell into a deep pit called Red Velvet.

continues to this day.

It was the first time that she saw them whom she had always been familiar with offline. This seemed to be the first time.

Whenever he thinks of this, Ding Yu always has an unconcealable smile of joy on his face.

She hurriedly covered her little face, for fear that she would be discovered by someone so stupid. Just thinking about that situation, she couldn't help curling her toes.

but…

Many, many fans have already gathered around the theater.

Not all fans are as lucky as her. Those fans who did not get a quota can only stay near the theater to see if they can wait for Pei Zhuxuan and the others who will come to the theater.

Of course, it is not difficult to meet Pei Zhuxuan and others in Xiamen these two days.

After all, the day before yesterday and yesterday, Pei Zhuxuan and the others were always working hard in the store selling cold drinks.

Ding Yu also thought about coming to Xiamen two days ago, but to be honest...it's not that she can't get a vacation, the main reason is...she can't get in close contact with Pei Zhuxuan at all.

Maybe just looking at each other, she will cry out excitedly.

Therefore, this kind of multi-person fan meeting is better than a direct
Ordering face to face with Pei Zhuxuan made her much more relaxed.

"Om~"

Just as he was wondering how to enter the arena, the mobile phone that Ding Yu had been holding in his hand vibrated violently.She then opened it, and then she looked astonished.

Shumeng: "@小语, Xiaoyu, are you here too?"

She belongs to a fan group, and the number is not very large, only more than 100 people.

At this time, Aite's "book dream" is a friend who often chats with her in the group.

But what surprised Ding Yu was that she was the only one who got a spot in the group...wasn't she the only one?
And looking at the meaning of "book dream"... the word "also", the information revealed made Ding Yu a little flustered.

She took a deep breath, and after thinking for a moment, she pretended not to see the message.

Just kidding, she is a giant in the online world, how could it be possible for her friends to find out that she is actually a top-level social horror who would tremble when a stranger talks to her.

It's better to play dumb.

She stopped thinking about the friend who was looking for her on the phone, but looked around and walked to the door of the theater.

After showing all the emails he received and his identity information as required, Ding Yu finally trotted into this small theater in the face of the envious eyes of dozens of fans.

There were already quite a few people sitting in the theater, and the overall majority were women. Anyway, she didn't see many boys.

However, everyone was looking excited and expectant at this time. Inexplicably, Ding Yu, who was still in a tense state, relaxed a lot.

Probably because he knew that almost all the people present here were his colleagues?Or is it that no one cares about her appearance at all?
Anyway, the result is good.

She glanced down at her number.

"66"

Very auspicious number.

She came to the seat with 66 written on it, sat down, and then opened her mouth slightly.

No. 66 is considered a very front seat, ah, of course, a total of 150 fans were invited this time, so fans can all sit in the front row.

As soon as she sat down, a staff member came to her and described to her some precautions for this event in detail.

For example, you can't record it, you can't disclose the content of this meeting, etc...

Ding Yu was fully prepared a long time ago. She took out her mobile phone, turned it off in front of the staff member, and then cast a puzzled look at the staff member, as if asking "Is there anything else?"

After doing this, the staff couldn't say anything, so they just left.

Ding Yu, who has become single again, will be opened by the bag in his arms. Inside are all the physical albums released by Red Velvet since their debut.

Since she was lucky enough to come to this fan meeting, she felt that her precious "they" should also come and see it together.

Um!That's right!

It should be done!
---

"Five are enough?"

"Five members, and then one per person."

"Hmm... there won't be any accidents, like an illegitimate child, or a particularly excited fan?"

Since it is a rare fan meeting, there must be some interaction with fans.

Li Yanzhu's plan is to select lucky fans according to their seat numbers, and then invite these fans to come on stage to play games with Pei Zhuxuan and the others, or to interact with them.

Tonight's event will last for more than two hours, so some interaction with fans is necessary.

"It's not that exaggerated, don't worry."

At the same time, Pei Zhuxuan and the others were sitting in the background discussing the overall process of the meeting.

They have held many similar fan meetings in Seoul, and they should be familiar with the process, but after all, this is an away game, and they have debuted for many years

They just found a sense of tension when they first debuted.

"Why am I so nervous?" Jiang Seulgi suddenly said, making everyone quiet.

Several people looked at each other, and then smiled tacitly.

"Me too."

"I'm so nervous too, it's so strange, it's been so long since I debuted."

Pei Zhuxuan reached out and patted the backs of the younger sisters, trying to relieve everyone's inner tension in this way.

"Miss Joohyun, are you nervous?"

"Me? I'm fine, a little, but not a lot."

Pei Zhuxuan is really not that nervous, she is more familiar with Huaxia than these younger sisters, and she often communicates with Huaxia fans through the small broken website.

The reason why the members are nervous is that there is too little communication with Huaxia fans. In fact, after getting familiar with them, Huaxia fans are easy to get along with.

Maybe their entertainment environment is not as mature as that of their country, so Huaxia fans are actually much more conservative and careful than the Korean fans they are more familiar with.

However, Pei Zhuxuan is very aware of the nature of this group of fans who like to work hard.

It is not an exaggeration to say that even if there are a few fans with weird clothes and weird movements today, she may not be surprised at all.

As for her nervousness... more nervous about speaking Chinese on stage.

The stage this time was not the open-air stage of the previous two days. The sound reception on the open-air stage was not that good. Sometimes even if her accent was a bit strange, it would not be so obvious.

But today is different. Today is the recording and performance in the theater. The professional sound effect brought by the professional stage will allow her to hear her plastic-like Chinese clearly.

Ming Bei can look at the pinyin and pronounce all the pinyin, but every time they are combined together, it becomes very strange... I don't know why.

"What are you talking about?" Liu Xin'an finished his communication with Li Yanzhu, and came before the few people who were already getting ready to go.

Several people who had already changed into their stage costumes looked at Liu Xin'an in unison, and Jin Yilin pointed out curiously.

"Are the fans already in?"

"Shall I help you take a look?"

"Yeah yum!"

Liu Xin'an was amused by everyone's nodding in unison, mainly because Pei Zhuxuan and the others wore cool and handsome stage makeup today. After all, the first song that opened today was "Bad Boy". This song needs that kind of makeup. Handsome feeling.

But the excited nodding of several people really ruined their cool Sichuan towel temperament in this outfit, Liu Xin'an couldn't help but laugh.

"See if there are many people. If there are many... let's start early."

Since the members are still a little unfamiliar with this atmosphere, let's get in touch with fans in advance before the official start.

Pei Zhuxuan has extremely high standards for the stage. If there are any problems on the stage due to mentality, then she thinks it is better for the members to get used to the current feeling.

"Do you want to start early?"

"I think it's fine."

"Brother Xin'an, let's go and see if there are too many people. It doesn't matter if we go out half an hour earlier to chat with fans."

"Row."

Liu Xin'an didn't ask any more questions, but turned around and walked out of the prepared small room.

After a short detour, he looked up at the stage in front of him.

At present, the theater is still brightly lit, and the lights will be dimmed when the official performance is held later.

However, the fan meeting is still different from the official stage. On the official stage, all the lights will be turned off, leaving only the lights on the stage.

But after the performance, Pei Zhuxuan and the others will sit on the stage and chat with fans from the perspective of a "friend", so in terms of lighting selection, they also use softer warm-colored lighting.

Liu Xin'an walked up the steps, and glanced at the black crowd in the auditorium.

And it was a very conspicuous thing that a handsome face suddenly appeared on the originally empty stage.

Many fans who had been paying attention to the stage immediately spotted Liu Xin'an's figure, and then subconsciously cheered: "Brother An Zi!!"

Because the theater was small in scale and it was well airtight, the cheers completely exposed Liu Xin'an's existence.

He was not stage-frightened, he reached out to the staff on the side, asked for a microphone, and then joked out loud: "Everyone welcomes my appearance, or is it hoped that I will go down quickly."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Liu Xin'an smiled and waved his hands, and after simply counting the number of people, he showed a surprised expression.

Now that everyone is almost here, Liu Xin'an waved his hand, instead of continuing to occupy the stage, he turned around and stepped off the stage, and returned to the lounge where Pei Zhuxuan and the others were resting.

"How about it?"

"It's almost all there."

"PD, can we get on stage early?"

"Do you mean to start early?" Li Yanzhu cast a questioning look.

Pei Zhuxuan shook her head, and quickly denied: "No, I just want to chat with everyone who has been waiting for a long time before the start. The official start should come according to the stipulated time."

"Let everyone wait, it's better not to expose the stage makeup too early." Li Yanzhu shook her head and rejected Pei Zhuxuan's idea.

Li Chenglue, who was at the side, suddenly gave a smirk, stretched out his hand and patted Liu Xin'an on the back, and suggested, "Why don't we go up and talk to everyone?"

There were still some staff in the theater, and Li Chenglu's joke about Ke Xin'an was in Chinese, so the staff of these theaters laughed out loud.Liu Xin'an was also speechless.

"Because of you, many people now have a stereotype of us Jincheng people."

"Come on, dare you say you can't? There is still a video of you talking cross talk with your fourth child in junior high school at home."

"???"

Pei Zhuxuan understood the general idea, but she didn't want Liu Xin'an to go up and talk about cross talk, but turned her eyes: "Why don't you go up and chat with the fans? Don't let everyone wait boringly." "Yes Hey, Brother Xin’an, let’s go up and warm up the scene, you did a great job warming up the scene for us at MBC.” Kim Ye Lin also remembered Liu Xin’an’s surprise appearance at the MBC Gayo Festival at the end of last year.The effect that time was very good, Liu Xin'an managed such a big stage, but in this small theater, can he still lose the chain?

Liu Xin'an showed a confused expression, pointing at himself: "Do you really want me to do it?"

He was afraid that fans would throw mineral water bottles at him if he appeared.

Ding Yu knew that she couldn't represent all the fans who love Red Velvet, but to be honest, she didn't really like Liu Xin'an that much.

In fact, most of the fans are just crazy on the lips or on the Internet. If they meet in reality, everyone is still a reasonable person.

And everyone knew very well that as girls, even if they prayed that Pei Zhuxuan would remain single forever, they would not have any chance.

Besides, it is impossible for Pei Zhuxuan to remain celibate for the rest of her life.

When Liu Xin'an and Pei Zhuzi first made their relationship public, she did feel a sense of betrayal.

It wasn't until Pei Zhuxuan and Liu Xin'an boarded "Knowing Brothers" together, and the harmonious atmosphere around the two of them appeared that many fans changed their views on Liu Xin'an.

Hmm... At the very least, most of the fans in Ding Yu's small fan group who originally hated Liu Xin'an have become able to accept this man.

Everyone is a loyal fan who has liked Pei Zhuxuan for many years. They have bought albums and merchandise, so they know Pei Zhuxuan very well.

Because of this, everyone can see that when Pei Zhuxuan gets along with Liu Xin'an, that kind of happiness and the feeling of dependence rush to his face.

Everyone likes to play pearl strings, more because of being
Pei Zhuxuan's glamorous appearance is attractive, I like her dazzling appearance on stage, I like her seriousness to the team, enthusiasm to fans, importance to members, and high standards to herself..
There are many, many examples of liking her like this,

In the same way, they also feel sorry for her who will face everyone with a bright smile even though she is working hard.

Joo Hyun is 32 years old this year, which is an unkind fact for any idol.

Most idol female artists of this age either fade out of the public eye, or transform to start their own personal careers.

It is incredible that Pei Zhuxuan, who debuted quite late, can still be active in the entertainment industry at this age.

Now, Liu Xin'an's appearance has given Pei Zhuxuan another path to choose in the future. At that time, their fans...the fans who hoped that Pei Zhuxuan could always be active on the stage, how could they possibly object to the relationship between the two.

Hmm...Of course, they don't object to this relationship, but that doesn't mean they don't hate Liu Xin'an.

"Your favorite Red Velvet is afraid that you will feel bored, so I am here to chat with you."

Ding Yu was taken aback by the male voice, she raised her head subconsciously, and at a glance she saw the man who she couldn't help but praise his appearance even if he hated it.

"Irene and the others are already preparing?"

"Everyone is almost ready. Originally, they wanted to come out early to chat with everyone, but I stopped them. The stage makeup is very beautiful. If they came out and exposed it, wouldn't they not have that kind of surprise feeling?"

The eye-catching man on the stage spoke jokingly with a gentle voice.

However, even though the content of his words is so annoying, everyone is not angry at all,
"Ahem, to be honest, what I said just now makes me sick of myself, and everyone should hate me."

"That's right!"

"Brother An Zi is still a little self-aware."

Ding Yu pursed his lips when he heard the laughing and teasing voices of everyone around him who also liked Xi Zhuxuan. "Then let's cooperate, everyone, don't you really hate me!"

"Hate!!"

"Do you really want me to get out?"

"That's right!"

Ding Yu hid himself in the tidy shouts, blushing, and vented his emotions with everyone.

But what she didn't realize was that when she finished shouting with everyone, they all had smiles on their faces.

But Ke Xin'an, who was boycotted by everyone, did not feel dissatisfied at all. He still had a hearty smile, and his handsome appearance made it difficult to look away.

Then, he spread his hands.

"I just like how everyone hates me but can't kill me."

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Ah, and also, the PD will help me cut this part. It's okay to be joking with everyone. If it is really released, I think I will be washed up." The man hurriedly made up for himself, too many people like to find existence these days Feeling friends.

As long as there is a keyboard in hand, they have the final say on justice in this world!

"Hush!!!"

"this one?"

The cowardly man got everyone booing in unison, and Ding Yu seemed to be driven by the atmosphere, booing the man along with everyone.

But as the main character being booed, the man is extremely innocent.

"Are you listening to cross talk?"

"Hahahaha, Brother Anzi, let's have a moment!"

"Stupid! Jincheng people don't know how to speak cross talk at all! ... But you can still tell everyone the name of the dish."
