Chapter 743: 373. There is a lot of discussion, but he chooses to play dumb_2
But this time, the event was different from the previous ones because there were artists and a very popular live streamer participating.
Initially, it was the viewers who discovered this, Bae Juhyun... Red Velvet’s fans were completely unaware of it.
The main reason was that the event was hosted on the Chinese side, and even if S-M had the guts, they wouldn’t dare to manipulate any public opinion during this event.
But Liu Xin’an’s viewers were different, or rather... the makeup of Liu Xin’an’s viewers was a bit more complex.
Indeed, the news was minor, but for a group of students who specialized in studying Korean or attended foreign languages institutes, reading such news was part of their homework.
Once the base was large enough, it wasn’t surprising that a few viewers discovered it.
Soon, this matter sparked lively discussion in Liu Xin’an’s viewer group and then, the discussions about these topics were carried over by the Bae Juhyun fans lurking in Liu Xin’an’s group to Bae Juhyun’s fan group.
As such... more and more people got to know about it.
"Damn, you guys really know how to play, this time let’s see how you can play dumb,"
The laughing voice of Old E over the headset made Liu Xin’an touch his forehead in resignation.
"I’m not planning on playing dumb anymore, we plan to go public in a little while,"
"Really? For real?"
"For real, previously we kept it hidden mainly because we were afraid it would affect their comeback success, but now that the comeback is over, we plan to announce it quickly. It’s not good to keep hiding and holding back,"
"I see, when exactly?"
"We’ve tentatively set it for October,"
"Isn’t tomorrow October?!"
Today was already September 30, so tomorrow would be the start of the Golden Week holiday.
Liu Xin’an "Hmm"ed softly, scrolling through his Steam library with his mouse, and replied nonchalantly, "In these next few days."
"Bro, this October, you’re gonna dominate the top search charts on the little broken station again, ain’t you? A live streamer dating a star, you must be the first one, right?"
"I don’t know, and it’s not something I’m particularly proud of. Besides, you guys have too many exaggerations about celebrities; they’re just like us, ordinary people,"
Liu Xin’an, who said this, completely forgot about how shocked he was when he first found out Bae Juhyun’s identity.
As for Liu Xin’an’s "Versailles" rhetoric, Old E expressed significant disdain, "Stop pretending, Feifei and I need to prepare to go public too."
"Oh? You’re also going public? Do you also feel bad for keeping it from the fans?"
"Nah, Feifei and I are getting married."
"..."
Liu Xin’an felt deeply embarrassed about his previous show-off attitude.
"Done pretending?" Old E began to strike back mercilessly.
"...."
"Hahaha, let me know when you two decide to get married, but given your circumstances... it seems a bit extravagant,"
"Ai, gotta go, ending the call. You too, let me know when you really get married; I’m about to start streaming,"
"Alright."
After finishing his call with Old E, Liu Xin’an adjusted his mood and then clicked on the ’start streaming’ button.
Thousands of viewers poured into the live stream, with a flurry of [Good morning][Open the door, damn you] comments popping up on the screen.
"Morning."
"Hmm... I shouldn’t need to take any leaves or breaks for a while; I’ve just about finished all the busy stuff. Tomorrow’s National Day, everyone must have made plans for where to go on holiday, right?"
"Huh? Busan? Ah... has the photo already come out?"
Liu Xin’an pretended it was his first time hearing about the issue, replying in feigned surprise.
[Brother An, just admit it, Sister Juhyun is none other than Bae, right?]
[Don’t talk nonsense, Brother An and Bae just "happened" to shoot a show together, "happened" to do a promotional video together, "happened" to participate in the consulate event together, and we "happened" to pair them up as a couple!]
[Don’t ask; the response is to play dumb, to pretend not to see]
[Those who know, know; those who don’t, I can’t say more]
These comments were a little too conspicuous, making Liu Xin’an’s eyes twitch. After thinking for a moment, he decided to continue ignoring them.
"Actually, a staff member from the consulate just happens to be a viewer and I’ve been around here lately, so naturally, I was invited. In a few days, I’ll post a vlog about the event,"
"Hide? There isn’t anything to hide. Being able to participate in this event is a recognition for me personally. A game streamer like me getting an invitation to such an event, I could brag about it for a year!"
"Alright, we’ll discuss the details after I release the vlog. I’ll answer any questions you have then,"
Seeing the direction of the comments start to shift, Liu Xin’an hurriedly redirected the conversation back.
[Will you address Sister Juhyun’s identity in the video too?]
[Brother An, if Sister Juhyun is Bae, blink for us]
Seeing these comments, Liu Xin’an instinctively froze, and after a moment’s thought, he did not comply but simply cleared his throat and launched the game for today’s stream.
———
At 4:30 PM, Liu Xin’an ended his stream and picked up his phone, patiently waiting in the living room.
Bae Juhyun said she’d be here at 5 PM, and although Liu Xin’an didn’t believe she’d be exactly on time, he still ended the stream early, waiting for his girlfriend to come and pick him up.
Time slowly ticked by, and soon after, Liu Xin’an received a message from his girlfriend.
"Sorry!! I’ll be late, won’t make it until 7 o’clock!!"
"Crying bunny.jpg"
The meme Bae Juhyun sent amused Liu Xin’an, who had anticipated that Bae Juhyun wouldn’t be punctual.
