Chapter 436: 270. Monologue crosstalk turns into dialogue crosstalk (Thanks to Illusion Feather for the Silver Alliance Hierarch! 4/40)_2

Liu Xin’an shook his head and placed the pot base inside.

Soon, the entire restaurant was filled with the fragrance of tomato and mushroom soup.

Everyone took their seats, and the hotpot feast officially began.

Of course, similar to the atmosphere of a barbecue, alcohol was also essential at the hotpot gathering.

All present were adults and drinkers.

The two cases of soju Bae Juhyun had brought were still more than half full... Sometimes, Liu Xin’an wondered if they could finish all the liquor before he and Bae Juhyun got married.

It was really too much.

After clinking glasses together, the table was continuously filled with exclamations of delight about the delicious food.

After a few drinks and some meat, everyone shifted from their focused "eating" state, and while enjoying the tender beef, they started chatting softly.

"Today, we watched the recorded stream you did yesterday with Sister Juhyun, did you not capture Sister Juhyun’s voice?"

"Recorded stream... Ah, no, if Juhyun’s voice had revealed her real identity, that would have been a big problem."

Liu Xin’an nodded, responding matter-of-factly.

"...Actually, it’s not that easy to reveal it; you’re being too cautious." Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan were not aware of Liu Xin’an’s cautious nature; they just thought he was making a big fuss over nothing.

However, Bae Juhyun understood Liu Xin’an’s... or rather, the cautious nature of both Liu Zhengjiang and his son Liu Xin’an very well.

Well, having such a father, it’s quite normal for Liu Xin’an to be like this.

"Really? Juhyun’s voice is quite distinctive, isn’t it?"

"You’re overthinking it. As artists, we can all change our voices to some extent, including our appearances on camera, which are often different from our real selves."

Kang Seulgi cleared her throat and then responded to Liu Xin’an’s question in a voice slightly different from before but still somewhat recognizable.

Then, she received a shocked look from Liu Xin’an.

"That’s impressive."

"Sister Juhyun can do it too." It’s indeed comforting to be looked at with astonishment by others; she smiled and steered the conversation towards Bae Juhyun.

Bae Juhyun, going along with the voice she used in yesterday’s gaming session, said, "Xin’an~"

"...Is there a difference?" Perhaps because he spent so much time with her, Liu Xin’an’s brain naturally reverted Bae Juhyun’s voice to the one he was most familiar with.

"Of course, there is."

"So you mean, I don’t need to be so cautious?"

"Right."

"But if I don’t filter out Juhyun’s voice, isn’t there still a possibility of being found out?"

"There is, but it’s very low."

"Then if I completely filter out Juhyun’s voice, does that mean there’s no such possibility?"

The logic in Liu Xin’an’s voice seemed to magically convince Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan after they pondered it for a moment. They were surprised to find that Liu Xin’an’s reasoning held quite some merit.

Fortunately, they had the sensible Bae Juhyun present.

With a gentle furrow of her elegant eyebrows, she picked up a piece of meat for Liu Xin’an, and then resting her cheek on her hand, her charming, radiant glance caught Liu Xin’an’s admiring eyes.

"But you haven’t considered the viewing experience of the audience."

Liu Xin’an was taken aback, opened his mouth to respond, but couldn’t find a reason to argue.

The viewing experience is essentially equivalent to the live-streaming effect...

The concerns Bae Juhyun had were indeed seen by Liu Xin’an in the recent live-stream comments.

Not everyone was so easily satisfied; certainly, some expressed great dissatisfaction with yesterday’s streaming format.

Liu Xin’an, however, had purposely skipped those dissatisfied comments to avoid affecting Bae Juhyun’s mood.

"Exactly! The viewing experience is what’s most important. A minimal chance of exposure in exchange for a better viewing experience for the audience is definitely better." Kang Seulgi burst out of the logical loop set by Liu Xin’an, breaking into a cold sweat, wondering how she suddenly got swayed by his reasoning.

Liu Xin’an said nothing and did not voice any opinions.

Bae Juhyun, familiar with him, knew this silence was his way of expressing his stance, and persuading someone as stubborn as Liu Xin’an was no easy task.

"Too much concealment might make everyone more curious about my voice and might even lead others to notice something wrong, don’t you think?"

"...So, Juhyun, you want to keep it more natural?"

"Yes!" Bae Juhyun nodded vigorously, her smile radiant, "It won’t reveal anything; I’m confident about that."

"Sigh..." Liu Xin’an sighed deeply, slightly troubled as he gently rubbed the inner corner of his eyes.

Looking at Bae Juhyun’s face full of expectation, he pondered a few seconds before reluctantly nodding with a wry smile, "I’ll listen to you."

He decided to try this little risk, as they were all artists, more experienced in handling similar situations than he was.

Since the professionals said it was fine, he, as a "layman," really did not need to be so adamant.

And... Unconsciously, the several previous safe passes had brought about a sense of "luck" in Liu Xin’an’s mind.

"Yay! Love you so much, my dear." An excited Bae Juhyun leaned toward Liu Xin’an and, under the dumbfounded gaze of Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan, planted a slightly greasy peck on the man’s cheek with a "smack."

That made Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan feel even the beef wasn’t tasty anymore.
