Chapter 318: 231. This dog food is very expensive!
Receiving a gift from someone and giving back a gift of similar value is a fundamental rule of social interaction.
Bae Juhyun had always wanted to give Liu Xin’an a gift. As she had said before, they’d been together for so long, and she never gave him anything.
At least Liu Xin’an realized this and immediately made up for it by giving her a gift, but she kept hesitating.
However, to be fair, it’s not like she never gave Liu Xin’an anything.
On the first day they met, she gave Liu Xin’an a music box!
That music box was still displayed in Liu Xin’an’s workroom.
But okay, that didn’t really count since it was a thank-you gift for a favor he’d done for her.
It was completely different from the kind of gift you give after confirming a relationship.
Seungwan’s suggestion to cater to Liu Xin’an’s likes was indeed enlightening for Bae Juhyun. As for her lack of understanding of gaming or computer accessories...
She decided to get outside help.
Similar to how Liu Xin’an sought help, this couple displayed astonishing synergy in this matter.
Instead of bothering Son Seungwan and Kang Seulgi further, she ordered takeout and then went to her room.
How could Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan know what her boyfriend liked? Such things were better asked of Liu Xin’an’s childhood friend, Li Chenglu.
Having been good friends with Li Chenglu for a long time, Bae Juhyun sent a message, and after confirming Li Chenglu had time, she quickly made a call.
In the time they hadn’t seen each other, Li Chenglu’s spoken Korean had improved quite a bit. Listening to her flawless Korean, Bae Juhyun once again marveled at the gap between them.
She was also learning Chinese! But she couldn’t even pronounce pinyin correctly!
It had to be that Chinese was too hard, not that she was stupid!
"Chenglu, Chenglu, help me out."
"Sure, Irene, just tell me what it is."
"Is there any specific computer accessory or gaming console that Xin’an particularly likes? I want to give him a gift."
If Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan were with Li Chenglu at that moment, they would definitely recognize that Li Chenglu’s expression matched theirs from the afternoon.
It was not a pleasant feeling to be force-fed so much "dog food."
As for Li Chenglu... she felt like a dog casually strolling on the road and suddenly getting kicked by Bae Juhyun.
"...I don’t think there’s any need to give computer parts or a console, Irene."
"Huh?" This completely different answer from Seungwan’s left Bae Juhyun puzzled.
Since catering to Liu Xin’an’s likes, wouldn’t giving him his favorite gaming console be the best?
"He would’ve already bought everything he likes. If you give it now, most of what you pick would be what he already has. You should take some time to check his room; he’s probably got everything he needs."
As a serious gaming enthusiast, does he need anyone to give him such things?
The first thing Liu Xin’an did when he made money was to buy things for his hobbies. After getting all the necessary computers and consoles, he started collecting accessories and machines he liked.
He didn’t like lights, so his computer didn’t have any flashy lights.
But he loved various limited-edition consoles.
So he had collected all of those.
Honestly, there wasn’t much Bae Juhyun could give. At best, a keyboard or a mouse?
Or headphones maybe?
"So what should I give him?"
"Why do you want to give Liu Xin’an a gift, Irene? Is there a special occasion?"
"Well... it’s our 100-day anniversary soon."
Fine, once again, Li Chenglu on the other end of the call fell silent.
"I see..."
"Yeah, hurry up and give me some advice!"
"Let me think, for Liu Xin’an... headphones might be a good idea. His current ones look pretty old. I think he got them last year; he could probably use a new pair."
It was fine before when he didn’t show his face on live streams; viewers couldn’t see the headphones.
But now that Liu Xin’an had started using a webcam, his plain headphones often appeared on camera.
Li Chenglu often saw people in fan groups mocking Liu Xin’an’s headphones. She knew he muted the groups, so she occasionally joined the discussion.
Even if Bae Juhyun hadn’t called, she would have brought it up in a few days when she had more time — those headphones really needed replacing.
Now that Bae Juhyun wanted to give Liu Xin’an a gift, wasn’t this perfect?
Saves her the trouble of bringing it up later.
"Headphones?"
"Yeah, for his streams, it’s better to get ones that aren’t completely in-ear, maybe bone conduction ones... although those can hurt after a while."
"Headphones... would the ones we use for listening to music work?"
"Huh? No no, he uses them for gaming. His needs are different from yours as a professional artist. I don’t know the specifics either. Do you have any friends who play games often?"
Bae Juhyun was silent. Friends who played games often...
"Ah! I know, thanks Chenglu. I’ll treat you to a meal next time you have the chance to come here!"
"Alright, I’m getting back to work then, Irene."
"Bye-bye~"
After hanging up the call, Bae Juhyun had a bit more clarity. She opened her messaging app, browsed for a while, and found a senior colleague.
Luckily, they were close enough that she could reach out for such a small matter!
