Chapter 203: 180. Protective! (Please subscribe! Vote for monthly tickets!)_2

"Uh... Really?"

"Yes, believe me, that guy must be feeling frustrated... Whoa, Liu Xin’an is livestreaming playing Mahjong Soul, hahaha, he’s really upset."

Streaming Mahjong Soul when feeling frustrated was already a habit of Liu Xin’an’s.

Old viewers knew this, and so did his childhood friend.

However, her excited look made Bae Juhyun envious.

Even though she had been with Liu Xin’an for two months, she wasn’t as good at understanding him as Li Chenglu was.

It’s no wonder, she and Liu Xin’an had only known each other and dated for six months, whereas Li Chenglu and Liu Xin’an had nearly 30 years of friendship.

Right now, she didn’t understand Liu Xin’an as well as Li Chenglu did, but in the future, she would be the one who understood him best!

"Have you packed everything, Irene?"

"Almost done."

"So how are we getting to the airport?"

"Hmm... I’ll have someone pick us up."

Today, she wouldn’t let Kang Seulgi handle it. Before, it was because Liu Xin’an was also in the car, so it wasn’t convenient to have the company’s people involved.

This time, going to China had received Taekyon’s approval, so she had ample reason to have her manager drive her and Li Chenglu.

She had made the call not long ago, so around this time...

"Buzz Buzz"

"Hello, Taekyon, great, we’re coming down now."

Bae Juhyun hung up the call and smiled at Li Chenglu: "My manager is here, let’s go down."

"Okay!"

———

"Damn, two families are ready to win. I’ll defend this time, I don’t want to lose points."

Looking at the tiles in his hand, Liu Xin’an muttered, deeply focused.

But the tile he drew next made him freeze.

If he discarded the 1-man tile in his hand, he could also declare ready to win. Although it was the simplest and smallest type of hand, if he could win with it, the points might not be low.

But if he really played this 1-man tile, there was a risk of being hit by someone else’s win.

Liu Xin’an pondered for a moment and showed a resolute expression.

He controlled the mouse to the tile that said "1-man" and gently pressed the left mouse button.

People must have dreams! Without dreams, what’s the difference from a salted fish?!

"Riichi!" (Mahjong term for ready to win)

The sound effect made Liu Xin’an smile, but the next second, his smile froze.

"Ron" X2 (Winning call in Mahjong)

Great, he made someone else’s dream come true.

And it was a double win.

In disbelief, Liu Xin’an looked at the screen with a blank expression, while the transparent comments on the screen’s top right corner crazily spammed [Hahahaha] and [????].

In terms of entertainment effect, Liu Xin’an nailed it.

Still, a large part of his audience felt their blood pressure rise while watching him play Mahjong Soul.

"Wow, I can’t believe it, I had the only 1-man tile left, and they both declared ready to win. Are they crazy?"

Determined not to acknowledge his poor play, Liu Xin’an started blaming others.

This wave was because he overestimated them!

Normally, nobody would declare ready to win with a 1-man tile, right?

All the 1-man tiles were already taken! The one he had was the last one!

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed Liu Xin’an became, gritting his teeth as he started the next round.

This round, clearly, he lost big points, a double win wiped out his score.

But it’s okay, as he was already at the lowest rank, losing points didn’t matter.

After calming down, Liu Xin’an glanced again at the comments.

He ignored the comments teaching him how to play Mahjong Soul, but one comment caught his attention.

[Xin’an, are you mad that your girlfriend isn’t joining you for Chinese New Year?]

Actually, earlier he wanted to talk with Bae Juhyun about certain comments under his alt account.

Ever since Bae Juhyun, using the alt account [Autistic Ann and Little Bamboo], announced that she wouldn’t join Liu Xin’an for Chinese New Year, it stirred quite a reaction.

How should I put it, most comments were friendly; after all, international relationships had many considerations, and going home for Chinese New Year wasn’t always practical.

She had work, commitments, and that made it hard to accompany her boyfriend home.

But even with this major premise, there were still a handful of comments that made people question Juhyun’s character.

These individuals criticized Bae Juhyun for riding on Liu Xin’an’s popularity but not being able to accompany Liu Xin’an home for Chinese New Year.

Some went so far as to be malicious and even resorted to personal attacks.

Though Bae Juhyun managed the account, he could still log in to delete comments and block users.

Even so, he couldn’t guarantee that Juhyun was completely unaffected by these remarks.

He knew Juhyun liked to copy comments into a translator and translate them.

If it was a funny comment, she would laugh joyously; but if it was somewhat critical, she would get upset for a while, sometimes hugging him in distress to vent her pressure.

But now they were apart...

If Bae Juhyun was affected by those comments, it wouldn’t be good.

Looking at the comment again, Liu Xin’an chuckled softly.

"Sad? No, not at all. But I’ve noticed some harsh comments about my girlfriend on that account recently. Let’s just say... she cares a lot about what people say. She manages the account and reads every comment, translating it, and replying as much as she can."

"I’ve deleted some unfriendly comments for her, as they would upset her. So, if possible, please cut my girlfriend some slack. She has her work, how could she just come home with me for New Year?"

Liu Xin’an softly explained for his girlfriend while subtly guiding the narrative.

He understood his viewers; once he said this, they would definitely flood the alt account with comments to get his or Juhyun’s attention.

His viewers were adorable, at least to Liu Xin’an, they were a bunch of lovely comrades.

He firmly believed there wasn’t too much malice in the world, and some harsh comments must be from paid trolls.

His sudden fame had already made many peers green with envy... It’s just that he was honest, with no scandals, otherwise, he would’ve been exposed long ago.

[This is too cute, too cute.]

[I’ve brought the marriage registration office for you, Xin’an. I hope you and your girlfriend get married soon. Don’t make me beg you!]

[The headless couple is real. Everyone, stop shipping Ann and Bae, expired candy is bitter.]

[No, Bae is an old bachelor, no longer at Xin’an’s level.]

The last comment made Liu Xin’an laugh. He and Bae were good old friends, so this potentially divisive comment didn’t bother him. He jokingly said, "Don’t cause trouble between Bae and me, we’ve planned to grab a meal together soon."

[When will you release the couple’s vlog? Are you just drawing pie in the sky for us?]

"Ah, thanks for the SC from ’Little Bamboo’s Husband’... Damn, I have to refund you, I can’t stand that username. As for the vlog, it’ll be after the New Year. We’re living apart now, so it’s hard to film."

Regarding the couple vlog, fans had always mentioned it, but given the current situation, it was hard to film. And how should I put it... He hadn’t thought of a good way to go about it yet.

If they were to make a couple vlog, Liu Xin’an didn’t want to just document his and Bae Juhyun’s life.

Besides, Bae Juhyun couldn’t wear a TV headgear all the time in real life either!

Balancing the need to minimize Bae Juhyun’s identity exposure while considering the fans’ viewing experience was challenging.

And there wasn’t any similar content in the market for him to "borrow" from...

"Next time! Definitely next time!"

"Huh? I can say next time, but you guys can’t keep saying next time!"
