Chapter 133: 133. Chance Encounter with a Gamer Friend (Thanks to Lord Sand Beach, the Alliance Hierarch! 5/5)
After having the dumplings, probably due to the unbearable display of affection from Liu Xin’an, Li Chenglu lost interest in going downstairs and, waving her hand, indicated she was going to take a bath and head to bed before closing the door to shut herself off from the world.
Bae Juhyun glared at Liu Xin’an annoyedly, which successfully earned her an innocent smile from him.
Even though it was night, it was still necessary to be discreet.
There was no need for the celebrity trifecta at night. Bae Juhyun wore a cap, let her hair down messily, and then put on a mask that covered most of her face, excitedly grabbing Liu Xin’an’s hand as they stepped into the elevator.
Liu Xin’an didn’t need such precautions, he simply wore a mask and let Bae Juhyun pull him along.
Since the hotel was located in Huangpu District, and Huangpu was the heart of the city, stepping out of the hotel, Bae Juhyun couldn’t help but exclaim in awe.
The city’s night view was among the top in the country, its stunning cityscape hardly inferior to that of Hong Kong.
This made Bae Juhyun, who loved the city atmosphere, very happy.
She let go of Liu Xin’an’s hand, looked around at the crowd for a few seconds, and then decided to go back to Liu Xin’an’s side, slipping her small hand into his, on her own initiative.
"China really has a lot of people."
Even during holidays in Seoul, she had never seen so many people.
If she got separated from Liu Xin’an in such a place, that would be a big hassle.
Thinking about this, she tightly held Liu Xin’an’s hand, then actively pushed her own hand into his pocket.
"Do you want some hot milk tea?"
In winter, holding a cup of hot milk tea was a very comforting thing.
Bae Juhyun didn’t usually drink milk tea; she was more accustomed to coffee, a common sight back in her area.
However, since Liu Xin’an suggested it, she didn’t refuse.
"Not too sweet."
"A little sugar won’t make you fat."
Now, Bae Juhyun was very slim; actually, she didn’t need to worry too much about maintaining her figure.
But Bae Juhyun had to think about her possible comeback in half a year, so it was better to be cautious in advance.
Compared to working out, she preferred to control her diet a bit more.
Bae Juhyun’s persistence left Liu Xin’an with no room to argue, so helplessly, he ordered a half-sugar pearl milk tea for Bae Juhyun and a regular one for himself.
This sweet flavor was quite nice for Bae Juhyun, who had a child-like palette. Soon, she let go of Liu Xin’an’s hand and changed to holding the hot milk tea tightly, sticking closely by Liu Xin’an’s side.
They didn’t plan to go anywhere specific today, just walking nearby to see the night scene and enjoy the city’s nighttime atmosphere was enough.
When the milk tea cup made an empty sound, Bae Juhyun irresponsibly stuffed it into Liu Xin’an’s hand, happily hugging him from behind.
"What are they selling over there?"
Unknowingly, they had wandered near a food street.
"Snacks, do you want to eat something?"
"Oh! What’s there?"
Liu Xin’an didn’t answer, he wasn’t sure himself, so he just pulled Bae Juhyun into the crowd.
They had been out for quite some time tonight, and so far, Bae Juhyun hadn’t been recognized, so Liu Xin’an was a bit relaxed.
However, while he was using his phone to scan a QR code to pay, an excited female voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Xin’an?"
Liu Xin’an was startled, first instinctively pulling his girlfriend, and then turned his head to look at the person greeting him.
Two girls were standing not far from him, and their expressions became excited when they saw him turn around.
The only people who would call him by this nickname were fans, and it was almost the time for the top 100 awards, sure enough, some fans had come to the food street to stake out.
After all, he had posted a status update when he arrived in Magic City...
"Oh, fans, hello, hello."
Facing his fans, Liu Xin’an naturally wouldn’t greet them with a cold face, he again pulled Bae Juhyun behind him.
Although Bae Juhyun didn’t understand the exchange, she understood Liu Xin’an’s intention.
The primary concern was not to reveal his identity.
"It really is Xin’an! We just thought we’d try our luck, never expected to actually meet you!"
One of the petite girls said excitedly, then she curiously glanced at the hand firmly held by Liu Xin’an, and her expression turned strange.
"Xin’an, you really do have a girlfriend."
Liu Xin’an smiled awkwardly, but before he could respond, the small hand holding his suddenly pinched him hard.
After all, her boyfriend was now a Chinese man, and Bae Juhyun had been looking at some Chinese learning books lately.
Although progress was slow, she had remembered some words.
Like you, me, we, you all.
And... like, love, boyfriend, girlfriend.
The word ’girlfriend’ made Bae Juhyun a bit anxious; she definitely didn’t want Liu Xin’an to admit too soon that he had a girlfriend, but... she seemed to forget that she was still interlocking fingers with Liu Xin’an.
Asking Liu Xin’an to ignore this intimate hand-holding with his fans seemed not very ideal, so Liu Xin’an didn’t bother with Bae Juhyun’s thoughts anymore, besides, she wouldn’t understand anyway.
"Mm, we just confirmed our relationship."
"Oh~ the roommate you mentioned in the last live stream, right?"
"Hahaha, you guessed it, huh?"
"Well yes, your demeanor during that live stream was totally different from usual; it would be strange if it wasn’t questioned."
Ultimately the "girlfriend fans," "wife fans" were still in the minority. Luckily, these two girls were fans who fell for him when he first joined, liking his gaming style and humor. Although Liu Xin’an’s accidental face reveal this year excited them, at heart, they weren’t those irrational fans.
Liu Xin’an getting a girlfriend was his own personal matter, and they mostly respected and congratulated him.
"Xin’an, do you plan to make lifestyle videos with your girlfriend in the future?"
"Uh... haven’t thought about it, will consider it later."
"I see, then can we take a photo together?"
"Ah? Uh... sure."
He hesitated and nodded, then turned to look at Bae Juhyun, who was resting her head against his back, whispering, "Ju... cough, darling, I’ve met my fans, they want to take a photo with me, I agreed."
"Hmm?" Bae Juhyun was startled, then reached out to pat Liu Xin’an’s shoulder signaling him to bend a bit; he was too tall, she couldn’t reach his ear.
Once Liu Xin’an bent down, she quickly leaned in.
"Then I’ll take it."
"Won’t this expose you?"
"I’m still wearing a mask, it’s fine."
The two female fans looked confusedly at the couple whispering to each other, then both smiled together.
Although they didn’t know what was going on, they thought the couple was adorable.
Liu Xin’an was adorable, and so was Anzi’s girlfriend.
They’ve hit it off!
Now that they were going to take a picture, Bae Juhyun no longer hid behind Liu Xin’an completely.
It was the moment Bae Juhyun stepped out from behind Liu Xin’an that the two female fans who wanted a photo with him could not help but admire her in awe.
Even though Bae Juhyun’s face was covered by a duckbill cap and a mask...
After all, Bae Juhyun was a celebrity, and she dressed remarkably well.
Plus, that celebrity confidence that appeared wherever she went...
Even though they couldn’t see her face, the two fans could still feel that Anzi’s girlfriend must be a super beauty.
"Sister, sorry~ We’ve been watching Anzi’s videos for many years, and we’d like to take a photo with him."
Since they were asking to take a picture with someone else’s boyfriend, the two girls also politely apologized to Bae Juhyun.
But Bae Juhyun didn’t respond, only looking up at Liu Xin’an with a puzzled expression.
"Ah, my girlfriend isn’t from our country, she doesn’t understand Chinese."
"I see... then you’ll have to explain it to her later, Anzi."
"Yeah."
Bae Juhyun grabbed her phone, then looked at her boyfriend’s handsome smile on the screen, and the cute girls beside him, her lips tightening under her mask.
Okay, she understood.
It was just like encountering fans who wanted to take pictures with her.
But...
It really was irritating.
After quickly snapping a photo of the trio, Bae Juhyun returned the phone to the girl, then once again hid behind Liu Xin’an.
Having got the photo they wanted, the two fans were satisfied and didn’t keep pestering Liu Xin’an anymore. After all, he was out on a date with his girlfriend, and it would have been very rude to keep following them around.
Waving goodbye, the two walked away.
Bae Juhyun finally relaxed, came out from behind Liu Xin’an, and looked up at him cheerfully with her hands behind her back.
"Female fans, huh~"
The hint of acidity that couldn’t be suppressed reached Liu Xin’an, making his smile grow even wider.
He took a fried chicken fillet from the vendor and reached out to hold Bae Juhyun’s hand.
But she deftly dodged his gesture.
"Jealous?"
"Not at all!"
Bae Juhyun denied being jealous, but the air around her clearly spelled "I’m upset."
Liu Xin’an tried again to grasp Bae Juhyun’s hand, and this time she didn’t dodge, letting him hold on to her.
"Alright, want anything else to eat?"
"...No, let’s head back."
Honestly, Bae Juhyun was a bit scared.
She had been really nervous when someone called out to Liu Xin’an just now.
Luckily, she hadn’t been recognized, only Liu Xin’an had been.
"Are you mad?"
"Not... a bit scared."
"Ah, okay, let’s go back then."
The nervous tone in his girlfriend’s voice made Liu Xin’an put away his teasing mood, he waved down a taxi, reported the name of the hotel, and gently massaged the soft hand he held.
The distance was not far, just the base fare.
When they got back to their suite, the tension in Bae Juhyun visibly eased.
She collapsed onto the sofa, took the bag of fried chicken fillets from Liu Xin’an, and nibbled on them.
"You weren’t recognized, relax."
"I know... this is really tasty."
"If you like it, I can order some more for you."
"No need, I’m already full."
She placed the bag on the table, lazily got up, and glanced out the window at the street view.
"I’m going to wash up first, I’ve been sitting for a long time in the car and the plane today, I want to lie down early."
"Sure, go ahead."
"Mm..."
Bae Juhyun nodded, stood up, and went back to her own bedroom.
But as soon as she found her nightclothes and pajamas, she froze.
They were staying in a suite with two bedrooms, but there was only one bathroom...
In other words, right outside the bathroom she was about to use was the living room where Liu Xin’an was.
Could Liu Xin’an hear her taking a shower?!
"Liu Xin’an!"
She shouted loudly.
The next second, Liu Xin’an appeared at the doorway of her bedroom.
"What’s up?"
"Go back to your room!"
"...Ah?"
