The reason he moved out of his house to live on his own was that his mom would control his streaming at home.

To his surprise, now he had a girlfriend overseas who was just as strict with him.

What a headache, what a headache.

After a brief chat, Bae Juhyun went back to her work.

Since he couldn’t play games, Liu Xin’an glanced at the time and decided to get up.

He and Bae Juhyun woke up at the same time.

They got up at 7:00, and after washing up, it was a little past 7:30. With over three hours spent editing videos, it was now just past 10:00.

He generally started streaming at around 1:00 PM, which would be 12:00 noon back home, meaning he still had three hours before streaming.

He could do a lot in those three hours.

For instance, he could finalize his car purchase from yesterday.

Last night, Bae Juhyun had given him some suggestions for highly private cars that could also serve as nanny cars.

So Liu Xin’an already had a goal for the purchase.

He wasn’t sure if he would stay here long-term; maybe after a few years, when Bae Juhyun gradually faded from the entertainment scene, he would bring her back home. So, there was no need to choose a very expensive car now.

He could just buy an affordable one for commuting.

Having a goal made things easier.

He took a cab to Hyundai Motor Company, stated the model he wanted, and after confirming availability and price, Liu Xin’an stylishly swiped his card.

However, taking the car on the same day was somewhat complicated. After confirming that he could pick it up in a few days, Liu Xin’an nodded and left the receptionist with a dashing back view.

The whole process didn’t even take two hours. He test-drove the car, and it was consistent with his expectations.

With that done, Liu Xin’an didn’t rush to go back. He decided to explore Seoul a bit today.

Having been here so long without exploring didn’t quite feel right. At least for lunch today, Liu Xin’an planned to eat out.

He had just sat down in a Korean restaurant and had yet to open the menu when his phone, placed on the table, vibrated violently.

The message was from Zao Shui, his content manager on Bilibili.

And the reason for the message was...

"Did you post a couples vlog?"

If Zao Shui knew about this, it meant the video he posted had already passed the review stage.

He searched for the title he had decided on and soon found the video he had edited.

Liu Xin’an clicked in, and since it had just been published, the views hadn’t even reached ten thousand.

In the comments section, a bunch of people had already secured their spots, posting comments that made Liu Xin’an’s mouth twitch.

Comments like "Little Bamboo, you wouldn’t want An Zi Ge’s video to lack engagement, right?"

Feeling a bit defeated, he downvoted that comment and posted a "heart" emoji.

He didn’t know if it was cheesy, but he knew his comment would make many people excitedly scream "I’m shipping this so hard!"

Fangirling over virtual couples was for fun, but "Headless Couple" was the real deal.

Hmm... later, he would have Bae Juhyun pin it.

But she probably wouldn’t do it, so he would handle it himself when he got back.

Ah, of course, he needed to quickly tell Bae Juhyun that the video had been approved. She was probably waiting cluelessly since she couldn’t read Chinese and wouldn’t know if the video was approved.

After informing Bae Juhyun, he opened his chat with Zao Shui.

"Saw it?"

"Why didn’t you notify me in advance? I could have arranged a promotion for you."

This was An Zi Ge’s first couple vlog, and given Liu Xin’an’s current popularity, it deserved a big push.

Why hadn’t he informed him? And he posted it on his alt account no less.

"I wasn’t satisfied with the video quality. It’s better to push higher-quality content later."

"I saw the video, and yeah, it’s a bit mediocre... Are you sure you don’t want Little Bamboo on camera? Even with a head covering would be fine."

Little Bamboo was a nickname derived from the middle character "Ju" in Bae Juhyun’s name. Initially, Liu Xin’an had considered using "Zhu," but realized it was too obvious.

Though nobody would make the connection without a clue, he feared a slight slip-up might lead to people associating it with Bae Juhyun.

So "Ju" became "Zhu."

"I can’t have her wear a headcover for a vlog! Even if she’s okay with it, I’d feel embarrassed!"

Liu Xin’an typed with a smile, imagining such a scenario.

He wasn’t lying. If Bae Juhyun wore a TV headgear to shoot a vlog, no one would recognize the TV-headed person, but he would definitely attract attention.

He didn’t think he could handle it.

Too embarrassing!

"It’s a pity about the potential views. I recommend making more lively videos. Also, since Little Bamboo isn’t local, your girlfriend could try more domestic stuff."

"Got it."

"If you got it, why aren’t you doing it?"

Liu Xin’an chuckled, stopped replying to Zao Shui, and picked up the menu to find something for lunch.

He needed to quickly finish his meal and start streaming. Probably a bunch of viewers were waiting to tease him about the video.

Preparing a new album was tiring, but it was also enjoyable to work together with the members.

The bracelet on Bae Juhyun’s wrist had been taken off and kept carefully.

Bumping into things while practicing dance was common, and if she tripped, it would be okay if she got hurt, but if the bracelet got damaged, she might cry.

Since she had already shown it off to the members, there was no need to flaunt it outside.

"Whew~ Shall we go out for dinner tonight, Juhyun-unnie?"

"Sure, I’m in."

Going out to eat together wasn’t unusual, so Bae Juhyun had no reason to refuse.

Moreover, it had been a while since they last ate together.

Seeing the members’ expectant faces, Bae Juhyun generously waved her hand.

"My treat!"

"Yay! Juhyun-unnie is the best!"

Everyone cheered, truly acknowledging her as the most generous unnie in the group!

"Shhh, if you shout too loudly, Taekyon-oppa will find out, and we won’t get to eat."

The girls quickly quieted down, making the most of their break time.

"If Juhyun-unnie is treating, should we invite Liu Xin’an too?"

Park Sooyoung, who was picking her nails, glanced at Bae Juhyun and suddenly suggested.

Honestly, her suggestion tempted Bae Juhyun.

But only tempted.

"Stop joking around. Taekyon-oppa will definitely find out about our dinner plans. He’s met Liu Xin’an and even gave him a business card. If Taekyon-oppa sees him again, it’ll be trouble."

Recalling their past encounter in the dorm building, Kang Seulgi couldn’t help but smile.

Though blocked in the elevator, Liu Xin’an’s relationship with Bae Juhyun hadn’t been exposed.

But still... Seong Taekyon had met Liu Xin’an.

Once could be a coincidence, but twice would be hard to explain away.

Bae Juhyun understood this, so even though Park Sooyoung’s suggestion was tempting, she smiled and shook her head.

"It’s just us members. Why bring him along?"

"To pick up the bill, of course."

"Hey! Whether he pays or I pay, isn’t it the same?"

Bae Juhyun instinctively retorted with a smile, but realized how ambiguous her words were.

Her members’ teasing looks made her breath quicken. At that moment, she needed to assert her authority as the leader.

"Alright, back to practice."

"Aww?!"
