Chapter 165: 161. The Headless Anchor Has a Head Now! (Thanks to the great Alliance Hierarch Yang Yi’er! 1/4)_2

"You know?"

"Uh... Seungwan mentioned it yesterday, is it about the Chinese market?"

"Right."

"But with my current situation, is it really okay for me to appear on camera?"

Director Kim shook his head, pushed up his glasses, and with a smile hidden in his deep eyes, said, "It’s just a video for the platform, there won’t be any major issue."

"Alright." Bae Juhyun fell silent, nodded, and after thinking for a few seconds, she finally mustered up the courage to look up, "Does that mean... we might possibly expand into the Chinese market in the future?"

"Hmm... That’s hard to say, it’s very difficult for you to get in there, even though fans in China are very enthusiastic."

The passion and purchasing power of the Chinese fans were indeed so staggering that they shocked people; after all, it’s such a large market. Not only them, but the whole world was coveting that big piece of the Chinese cake.

But getting a share of that market was a difficult task.

"I understand."

Bae Juhyun nodded, stood up, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going out first."

"Yes, just wait for the message to come to the company and get ready for the shoot, and also, the comeback you’re concerned about is also being prepared smoothly, no need to be too anxious."

"Yes!" This was news that could energize Bae Juhyun; she beamed a smile, her exquisite appearance bringing a pleasant mood to others.

"Go ahead."

Bae Juhyun bowed politely and then walked out of the director’s office with brisk steps.

The typically expressionless face was now covered with joy, which persisted even as she entered the practice room, the smile not fading from her face.

Seated in the corner stretching, Son Seungwan saw what seemed like a very cheerful Bae Juhyun and teased with a smile, "Encounter something good?"

"What you said yesterday is true, the company does seem to plan to join that website."

"So soon?"

"Yes, Director Kim just told me, let’s record a video to greet the fans in China in a few days... after Sooyoung comes back."

"Ah? What about Mandarin then?"

"Get someone to teach us, of course, that shouldn’t be a problem now, right?" Kang Seulgi, who was dancing to the rhythm of the music, glanced at the two chattering in the mirror and joined the conversation, gasping for breath.

Son Seungwan subconsciously looked towards Bae Juhyun.

Bae Juhyun pursed her lips, it was unclear whether she was proud or because her sister’s teasing made it hard for her to save face.

"Hmph."

She humphed lightly, took out her cellphone, glanced at the time, then set it aside and also got up to join in.

They had a dance class in the afternoon, and it was best to warm up a bit beforehand.

Otherwise, they might be tortured to death later by those ruthless female dance teachers in the class...

———

Liu Xin’an was completely unaware of the things Bae Juhyun encountered at the company; at that moment, he was admiring a post with a face full of awe.

After all, he was a game section up with a considerable following on the small site; his every action was subject to the analysis and enjoyment of the fans.

Not to mention, since the Top 100 Awards had ended, those fans of Liu Xin’an who wore badges labeled "Autistic An" had gone into a frenzy.

Indeed, Liu Xin’an had seriously underestimated his fans’ loyalty.

In today’s fan culture-dominated scene, those who initially came for his looks had long since been filtered out.

Those who remained were fans who were drawn in by his looks but stayed for his talent and ability.

Er... of course, for these fans, they would probably be more excited if Liu Xin’an showed his face on camera.

This wasn’t limited to female fans; some abstractly incredible Nantong fans probably thought the same way.

The post he was looking at was a summary by a fan who had watched his streams for years.

Scrolling cheerfully with his mouse, Liu Xin’an gradually reached the end of the post.

Then...

"In conclusion, I have reason and am quite certain that Brother An is no longer the same single dog that used to accompany us through countless afternoons and late nights, this dog has betrayed... Damn it!"

Liu Xin’an read out the fan’s comments word by word, then his expression grew more peculiar.

Upon seeing the last sentence, he burst out with a laugh and cursed, "Pretty accurate guess."

In fact, there were many fans who harbored this idea.

After Liu Xin’an came here, his entire style had changed quite a bit.

First was a shift from his many years of live streaming schedule.

This was already strange enough for many fans.

Liu Xin’an had always streamed in the evenings because of the high engagement during that time. Workers and students alike were resting at night and could tune in to watch live streams.

However, ever since he went abroad, Liu Xin’an changed his streaming schedule, moving his unwavering evening slot to every afternoon.

Even though the duration of the live streams remained unchanged, this shift in timing was puzzling to many.

Besides, the change in streaming time, the mysterious female voice that appeared in Liu Xin’an’s home a while ago also sparked the curiosity of numerous fans.

Although much time had passed, to this day, plenty of fans would still come to the live room asking Liu Xin’an about that so-called "roommate."

Of course, Liu Xin’an always turned a blind eye to these comments. Responding to such topics would only bring him trouble in the end.

Just ignore it.

As Liu Xin’an continued scrolling with his mouse, he found it quite intriguing that people tried to guess the changes in his life based on his streaming schedule, tone, and mood.

What’s the most important thing for a streamer during a live broadcast?

It’s the...

It’s the popularity!

Right!

His popularity was at a short-term peak.

With his mindset gradually changing, he was no longer so opposed to turning on the camera for his streams.

After reading the post, Liu Xin’an glanced at the camera on his desk, then turned to look at the door.

The memory of last night, when Bae Juhyun suddenly showed up and almost exposed herself to his fans, was still fresh in his mind.

Rising from his seat, Liu Xin’an first locked the door of the streaming room to prevent any sudden intrusions.

Then, looking at his reflection on the screen, he regulated his breathing.

The number of times he had shown his face on camera could be counted on one hand.

The last time was nearly half a year ago.

Coming back to face-streaming after nearly half a year made Liu Xin’an unavoidably nervous.

He pursed his lips and glanced at the photo of Bae Juhyun’s radiant smile on his desk.

She had brought it from her home and placed it there after they confirmed their relationship.

She said it was because she wanted to feel involved when he was streaming...

At the time, Liu Xin’an had laughed at her for a good while.

But now, that photo somehow reassured him.

After all, the smiling girl in the picture was one of the reasons he was so devoted to his work.

He no longer hesitated and clicked the "Start Streaming" button with his mouse.

The notification that Liu Xin’an’s live room was online was instantly sent to the phones of thousands of followers.

In a single moment, the chat exploded with messages.

[11111]

[Open the door, open the door, open the door!]

[Good morning, good morning, good morning!]

[Damn Xin’an brother is late again. Did you go on a date with the girl next door again!]

The variety of messages nearly made him lose control of his smirk, but he maintained his smile as he added the camera feed to the live broadcast.

"Hey, can you hear me?"

Liu Xin’an asked the audience curiously while wearing his headset.

The real-time chat was delayed by a second or two.

After a brief pause, the barrage of topic-related messages subsided,

and the screen was overwhelmed with so many "?" that Liu Xin’an wondered if his live room had crashed.

[??????]

Seeing the screen filled with question marks, Liu Xin’an couldn’t help but show a wry, amused expression.

Looking at the secondary screen showing the chat in his live room, he said with a resigned tone, "What’s with this reaction? Didn’t I say on the top 100 that I was planning to start using my camera when I came back? If you all react like this, maybe I should just turn it off."

[If you turn off the camera, we’ll unfollow!]

"Damn! Threatening me, huh?"

Liu Xin’an panicked; losing followers was not okay! That was pure "Silver" slipping away.

One still has to earn their keep!
