Chapter 49: 49. Bae Juhyun’s Money Ability

"Um, Irene, since you don’t have our country’s ID card, you can’t use this to recharge..."

Bae Juhyun was stunned, seemingly not expecting such an unexpected turn of events.

"Then... then what should I do?"

Vivian Ning pursed her lips. Although she knew it was impolite to ask abruptly, she had to speak up to help.

"Are you planning to top up your Little Broken Station account?"

She restrained herself from asking more questions, only inquiring about Bae Juhyun’s intention.

Bae Juhyun nodded.

"Then... I’ll just use my own WeChat account to help you top up!"

Vivian Ning breathed a sigh of relief; if it was like this, it would be much simpler.

It’s just a matter of topping up some money for a senior; it’s nothing.

Even though she was very curious about why Bae Juhyun was so persistent in topping up on Little Broken Station, reason told her not to ask!

Maybe this senior had been recommended some streamer during her break?

She understood supporting a favorite streamer.

"Is this okay?"

"Of course, Irene, how much do you want to top up?"

"500w"

The five million here was roughly equivalent to thirty thousand domestic currency.

But this amount wasn’t much for Vivian Ning.

After all, she was doing it for a senior, so Vivian Ning didn’t bother with the handling fees and directly topped up Bae Juhyun’s account with 30w in Little Broken Station batteries, which was thirty thousand domestic currency.

"Done!"

"Thank you so much, Ningning, I’ll transfer the money to you right away, give me your account!"

Vivian Ning gave her account details, and within a few seconds, a transfer notification made her eyes widen.

This senior, who didn’t have a great reputation right now, actually transferred 600w to her immediately.

"Irene, you transferred too much."

"I might need your help later, and changing money involves handling fees too, so you keep it~"

Although her resources weren’t many, with her looks, the income from advertising and endorsements over the years had already been a considerable sum for her.

Hundreds of thousands weren’t a big deal to her.

"But the handling fees don’t need 100..."

"Thank you for today!"

Bae Juhyun interrupted Vivian Ning and gently hugged her.

Vivian Ning understood Bae Juhyun’s intention and didn’t insist, smiling neatly.

"By the way, Irene, if you want to send gifts, tap this, and this one is better."

"What’s this?" Bae Juhyun looked curiously at the "Great Sailing" in Chinese that Vivian Ning pointed to, with a puzzled expression on her face.

"Well... you can think of it as a paid subscription on YouTube, it’s very popular now."

"I see, got it! Thank you, Ningning!"

"No problem, no problem, happy to help, Irene."

Solving a big issue that had been troubling her so smoothly made Bae Juhyun very excited.

If Vivian Ning didn’t have an event in the afternoon, she genuinely wanted to treat this little sister to a meal.

She guessed she’d need Vivian Ning’s help quite a bit in the future...

She wasn’t worried that Vivian Ning would disclose what she entrusted her with today; though she was very friendly, she was still Vivian Ning’s senior.

Vivian Ning wouldn’t be foolish enough to blab about today’s events.

Indeed, the members of aespa were both worried and curious about why Bae Juhyun specifically sought Vivian Ning, but luckily, Vivian Ning returned quickly, with no odd expressions on her face.

After some questioning, Vivian Ning wouldn’t relent, and the girls soon gave up.

As for Bae Juhyun now...

Now that she had money, she could reward Liu Xin’an!

And she could use that reward to ask questions.

Ah~ anonymously asking Liu Xin’an questions, just the thought of it made her excited.

Yet, it would still be some time before Liu Xin’an’s usual streaming time, and the translator device she ordered last night hadn’t arrived yet, so she couldn’t be too hasty.

Bae Juhyun thought about this, then got up to stretch.

Putting personal matters aside for now, there wasn’t much time left before the upcoming S-M Family Concert, the first stage after her incident. Even if it wouldn’t be broadcasted on TV... she had to bring her best for the loyal fans!

———

When Bae Juhyun finished her day of practice and returned home, it was already unknowingly seven o’clock in the evening.

She first took the packed dinner out from the bag, then quickly ran to her bedroom, soon coming out in a comfortable hoodie and jeans combo.

Then, she placed the tablet on the table, with the screen playing Liu Xin’an’s previous videos.

Even though she couldn’t understand, just seeing him was enough.

Not seeing Liu Xin’an all day for the first time made Bae Juhyun realize she was quite the sentimental type.

It wasn’t so bad during practice, but once she relaxed, she couldn’t help but think about what Liu Xin’an was doing at this time.

Sometimes when she saw some interesting short videos while scrolling on her phone during breaks, she’d want to send the video links to Liu Xin’an.

This must be what love feels like, always thinking about the other person and wanting to share the best things with them.

Understanding her own feelings clearly, Bae Juhyun stopped deceiving herself and began to enjoy this feeling suddenly.

But one thing made her slightly unhappy: Liu Xin’an hadn’t contacted her all day!

While scooping some mixed rice with a spoon, Bae Juhyun sighed and reached out her fair hand, the pink and white manicure on her fingers sparkling under the restaurant lights.

She puffed up her cheeks, gently poking at the screen showing the smiling, cheerful man.

Though she couldn’t understand Chinese, she wasn’t inexperienced with fans’ confessions.

By the full screen of bullet comments in the video, they were probably all kinds of confessions to Liu Xin’an... what a shameless bunch of people.

Bae Juhyun muttered a low curse. She wasn’t a saint who never uttered a curse word.

Previous caught audio recordings of her cursing had proven that, but cursing incessantly and venting when troubled were fundamentally different.

...But if she had been more composed, maybe she wouldn’t have been so easily led by ill-intentioned people and had her words twisted to create a scandal.

Bae Juhyun shook her head, tossing all the unhappy thoughts aside.

Then she continued poking at Liu Xin’an in the video with a smile.

This guy... his hair seemed much longer now compared to the videos?

After finishing her bowl of rice while watching Liu Xin’an’s moving vlog, Bae Juhyun turned off the video and clicked on Liu Xin’an’s avatar again.

Immediately, his familiar voice filled the room again, along with a game interface she couldn’t understand.

Yes, Liu Xin’an was live streaming.

During this time in the evening here, it was six o’clock in China.

On a Friday afternoon, this was a prime time slot.

Surely, Liu Xin’an would be streaming at this time.

The dense barrage of bullet comments showed just how many viewers were watching the stream.

Bae Juhyun expertly turned off the bullet comments, then rested her chin on her hand, focusing intently on Liu Xin’an’s voice.

In fact, Liu Xin’an sounded quite different speaking Chinese compared to when he spoke Korean to her.

Though Liu Xin’an knew both languages, Chinese was his most used language.

So when he spoke his mother tongue, he was very confident, and this confidence gave the live-streaming Bae Juhyun a sense of Liu Xin’an’s unique charm.

If speaking Korean made Liu Xin’an seem more gentle and reserved, then speaking Chinese made him appear confident and sunny.

Listening, Bae Juhyun moved from resting her chin to lying flat on the dining table.

No, this increasingly comforting feeling was making her sleepy.

At this rate, she might fall asleep soon.

Bae Juhyun sat up, patting her cheeks to wake herself up.

Then she took her phone out, opened the photo-translation app.

Since she topped up, she decided... to be a rich woman hidden behind the internet!

Yes, earning money was for spending!

"Captain... 198..."

Bae Juhyun read out the translated words, one by one.

"Admiral... 1998..."

"Governor... 19998..."

Reading the word "Governor" made her eyes light up.

This must be the most expensive one, right?

Remembering Vivian Ning’s explanation of the "paid subscription," Bae Juhyun didn’t hesitate anymore.

She pressed the "open" button, then, after finding "use batteries to pay," confidently pressed the button labeled "pay."

After that, an icon she couldn’t understand popped up, she didn’t mind it, clicked the top-right cross, and continued watching the stream, smiling.

To be precise, she was watching the small black 3D cat icon in the bottom right corner of the stream screen.

A few seconds later, the cat opened its mouth wide.

Then Liu Xin’an’s slightly excited voice echoed through Bae Juhyun’s home.

"Thank you, bili_57920337385 boss for opening a Governor! So generous! ...But boss, your name is quite absurd. New account?"

Though she couldn’t understand much, she could hear Liu Xin’an’s excitement.

He must be thanking her, right?

Thinking of this, Bae Juhyun quickly took her phone out, opened the recording function.

Sadly, she missed recording his first words!

Hopefully, it wasn’t something particularly important.
