Chapter 193: 175. Onlooking women surnamed Jiang and women surnamed Sun (asking for subscriptions! asking for monthly passes!)_2
"What did you guys buy? This stuff is all...what exactly?"
"We packed a lot of Italian dishes; you can just open and eat directly."
"Oh..."
Liu Xin’an rarely ate foreign cuisine, usually rotating between Chinese and Korean meals, so he was quite unfamiliar with such a wide variety of exotic dishes.
Fortunately, he wasn’t picky—good food was all that mattered, and these women were all rather discerning when it came to taste, so whatever they bought back was generally guaranteed to taste good.
After simply arranging the purchased dishes on the dining table, Liu Xin’an didn’t rush to call everyone to eat. Instead, he led Bae Juhyun out of the dining room and sat down together on the sofa.
"When do you plan to come back?"
It was not realistic to avoid discussing the New Year, so neither Liu Xin’an nor Bae Juhyun showed any signs of the sad atmosphere that comes with parting today.
"It really depends on the situation. If my parents won’t let me come back before the 15th, I might not return until next month."
"That’s quite a long time, but don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Juhyun for you while you’re away."
"You don’t need to take care of me, I can take care of myself." Bae Juhyun quickly rebuffed, leaving Kang Seulgi looking somewhat embarrassed.
Thankfully, Liu Xin’an gave her an out.
"Then I’ll count on you when the time comes, Seulgi."
Son "Little Angel" Seungwan started to make a fuss again with her pretty face, showing a shocked expression, pointing to herself: "What about me? Aren’t you going to trouble me?"
She believed she had done her part in taking care of Bae Juhyun, whether in the team or in the dormitory.
"You can forget it."
Liu Xin’an spread his hands. To this day, he still remembered Son Seungwan’s outrageous act of going for the loot instead of reviving him during their last gaming session.
"Wow, Liu Xin’an, you’re so petty! It was just a level three helmet and a level three armor."
"You have the nerve to say that, I was the one who killed that person. In the end, I got killed by a grenade, and you, not only did you not help at all, you even looted my gear. And then you remembered that I was still crawling on the ground, right?"
"You didn’t say anything, how was I supposed to know?"
"I was practically shouting myself hoarse!"
"..."
The childish argument left Bae Juhyun and Kang Seulgi speechless on the side.
Although Liu Xin’an was usually quite steady, why did he suddenly become so irrational and prone to childish quarrels when it came to games?
Ah, yes, the "child" mentioned here was Son Seungwan.
"What’s wrong with them?"
"They must be talking about the game. I heard him arguing with Seungwan in the living room using voice chat a few days ago."
"When did they get so close?"
"Who knows."
Bae Juhyun shrugged; she would never understand making friends through gaming, as she never played games herself.
"Oh, right," Bae Juhyun suddenly remembered something she saw on her phone at the company this afternoon, "Liu Xin’an, it looks like our account received another advertising offer; do you want to check it out?"
The account [Antisocial Xin’an and Little Bamboo] had now officially stabilized at the 600,000 followers threshold. It was hard to say whether there were any inflated numbers, but every photo posted had tens of thousands of comments from fans.
Although it had been many days since Liu Xin’an’s first face-revealing livestream, the buzz on the small platform still hadn’t died down.
Everyone wanted to watch a good-looking guy talk highs and lows, and Liu Xin’an’s livestreaming was already pretty effective.
The combination of a Tianjin native’s humor and a naturally smiling face readily endeared him to people. Coupled with the distinctive comedic gene of Tianjin folks, the unwaning popularity also drew in a wave of new fans.
"Advertisement? What kind of advertisement?"
"I translated it, but I can’t understand it. You’d better take a look yourself."
Taking the phone from Bae Juhyun, Liu Xin’an skimmed over the back-end message and his mouth twitched.
"What kind of advertisement is it?"
Curious about the matter, not just Bae Juhyun herself, but also Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan, who often dealt with ads, leaned in, their faces full of gossip.
"Pinduoduo’s billion-dollar subsidy."
"...Huh?"
"It’s not important. Just some unscrupulous advertising, don’t mind it."
"So we don’t take it?"
"No, we don’t."
Currently, the account hadn’t signed a contract with the small platform, nor had it activated the incentive plan because it hadn’t posted any videos.
This might get the account shadowbanned, but... it was always meant to be a small account recording their lives, neither Liu Xin’an nor Bae Juhyun ever thought about making money with it.
So neither of them cared much about being shadowbanned.
"Isn’t it good to have ads, why not take them?"
"Uh... ’Eating’ frequently on our website... which means advertising, is disliked by fans."
"Huh? Why? Shouldn’t fans be supportive, having ads means more exposure."
"It’s hard to explain, just don’t equate this with the ads you have in mind. The ads we content creators get are not that pleasing."
"It’s complicated."
"Indeed, let’s just eat."
Son Seungwan and Kang Seulgi stood up, while Bae Juhyun still looked somewhat worriedly at Liu Xin’an.
"Are you sure we don’t need to bother?"
"No need, let them contact me directly for ad things, I don’t plan to profit from this small account."
Bae Juhyun nodded vigorously, she felt the same way.
"Let’s go eat first."
"Yeah!"
Just as Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan said, their visit was purely to bid Liu Xin’an farewell.
Liu Xin’an had few friends here, which they both knew, so as a couple of his rare friends, they felt it was necessary to come and say goodbye to Liu Xin’an.
And to pass on New Year’s wishes.
Afterwards, for sure, they wouldn’t keep intruding on Bae Juhyun and Liu Xin’an without consideration.
After dinner, the two got up tacitly and slipped out directly.
Using "not disturbing the two" as an excuse, but actually avoiding "cleaning up the table."
Bae Juhyun understood them too well, but her legs weren’t long enough, and these two women, both born in ’94, were just too in sync.
Following a frustrated yell of "Hey!" all she was left with was the closed door.
"I’m definitely changing the password when I get back!"
Hearing his girlfriend’s huffy voice, Liu Xin’an showed a gentle smile.
There wasn’t much to clean up on the table, and not all the food had been finished.
"Take these with you, bring them to the dorm tomorrow or it’d be a waste."
"Yeah, I know."
Bae Juhyun turned her head and continued to clean up with Liu Xin’an, then put the plates and stuff in the sink, rolled up her sleeves, put on gloves, and began cleaning up efficiently.
There wasn’t much to do, and after putting all the utensils in the cupboard, Bae Juhyun pulled Liu Xin’an to the sofa, then snuggled into his arms proactively.
Parting times always bring a low spirit.
Bae Juhyun was nestled in Liu Xin’an’s arms, brewing emotions, but his pinching of her fingers hurt.
"What are you doing?"
Bae Juhyun eventually couldn’t help it and withdrew her hand to gently scold her boyfriend.
Liu Xin’an revealed an innocent smile, "I want to bully you."
"Do you feel a sense of accomplishment from bullying me?"
She was so petite, and Liu Xin’an so tall, he had not refrained from bullying her, and even now, he was thinking about teasing her!
"There’s no sense of accomplishment, but I feel if I don’t bully you a bit, you’ll start crying soon."
"...you bully me, and I’ll cry too."
She broke free from Liu Xin’an’s embrace and leaned against the armrest of the sofa, then sprawled across it, lying down lazily.
Liu Xin’an’s teasing act had dispersed the melancholic atmosphere of parting substantially.
"So in any case, you’re going to cry, might as well let me have some fun bullying you, at least I’ll be happier."
"Wow, Liu Xin’an, that’s a really terrible thing to say."
Bae Juhyun showed an exasperated smile with her little hand covering her lips, her slender shoulders trembling with laughter.
Watching Bae Juhyun finally laughing, Liu Xin’an also breathed a sigh of relief.
Mainly because if she really started crying later, he was afraid he’d soften up and delay his return by another two days.
He thought this was something he could do...
