After a date naturally comes the days of separation.
According to their agreement, they would next meet in three days, so Liu Xin’an had to endure three boring days.
With some time left before his live stream, Liu Xin’an habitually opened the small broken site on his phone to check his private messages.
Suddenly, a private message took him by surprise.
[How long have An-zi and Xiao Zhu-zi been dating?]
This wasn’t a difficult question. Since officially becoming a couple on December 9th until the beginning of March, it had been about three months.
By this month’s 9th, on March 9, it would exactly be three months, 90 days.
Liu Xin’an felt this number seemed a bit odd because it was somewhat close to 100.
And if it were 100 days...
Liu Xin’an’s eyes widened; it was just a few days until his relationship with Bae Juhyun would reach 100 days.
At most, it was about half a month away.
And at this critical milestone of 100 days, ten days later, on March 29,
it would be Bae Juhyun’s birthday.
Suddenly, Liu Xin’an felt like maybe he delivered his gift too early and should have waited a few more days.
He grinned, showing an awkward expression, then started planning how to spend the 100-day anniversary and Juhyun’s birthday on the 29th.
A gift was naturally indispensable, and he had to prepare different presents for the two occasions.
He would never do something as foolish as giving one gift for both occasions!
He pretended not to see that private message. This kind of thing couldn’t be shared with his viewers; he couldn’t guarantee that this bunch of viewers would keep it a secret. If this got back to Bae Juhyun, it would spoil the fun.
A surprise is only a surprise if it brings a shock and joy; otherwise, it’s just bland.
With that mindset, Liu Xin’an started his live stream this afternoon.
The stream went smoothly as always. Having streamed several times before, he had gradually adapted to this style of streaming. He could ignore the camera and immerse himself in his work naturally.
However, after the stream ended and he stared at the computer screen, Liu Xin’an gradually became lost in thought.
The stream went well, the data looked good, and the feedback from the viewers greatly boosted Liu Xin’an’s confidence as a streamer.
But... he still had no idea how to celebrate this 100-day relationship milestone, and then his girlfriend’s birthday afterward.
Liu Xin’an felt he could only blame his lack of experience for this; unfortunately, he just hadn’t experienced enough!
He had many ideas, but they all felt somewhat off when he tried to enact them.
After much contemplation, Liu Xin’an typed the name of Lao E into the search bar of the small broken site.
Seeing this, Liu Xin’an relaxed a lot. He directly opened WeChat on his computer, found the familiar frog avatar, and made a voice call.
They knew each other well, so making a direct call was completely fine.
Yes, he was planning to seek help outside of the game.
The only one among his friends who was in a relationship was Lao E, the king of smooth talkers, and he had been dating Feifei for a long time. He surely had celebrated similar occasions numerous times.
Asking him for help should definitely be the right move!
A few minutes later, Lao E’s familiar voice came through the headset.
"Yo, isn’t this the famous An-zi looking for something from me?"
It was a very Lao E-style response. Liu Xin’an couldn’t help but smile and got straight to the point. Follow current novels on nοvelfire.net
"Are you free? I want to ask you for some advice."
"Ask me? Let me think... Do you want to play Apex?"
"What, don’t you know how bad I am at FPS games already? If I play with you, I’d be stressed out to the point of shutting down."
Liu Xin’an had previously played Left 4 Dead with Lao E, and let’s just say... Lao E’s gaming skills are incredibly good, especially when it comes to shooting games.
But he played too well and too seriously, which always made others playing with him feel a lot of pressure.
Liu Xin’an had actually argued with Lao E over a game before, but how could the relationship between men be strained just by a game.
They might have argued fiercely one day, but the next day Liu Xin’an would shamelessly call for him to "get online," and of course, Lao E was just as eager, responding with "Coming coming." In a way... there’s a reason why these two get along so well.
The only reason Lao E could think of was the game, because what else could good game buddies possibly consult him for?
That’s when he was floored.
"How do you celebrate various anniversaries with Feifei?"
"Uh... you’re asking me this?"
"Yeah, I’m nearly at 100 days with my girl, and ten days after that it’s her birthday."
The line went silent with Liu Xin’an’s blunt silence.
Both being straightforward guys, who was better than whom?
Lao E was silent for a good while before he carefully gave his answer: "Go out to eat, watch a movie, then give a gift—won’t that do?"
"What else do you want? To pluck her a star from the sky?"
Liu Xin’an fell silent, always feeling that, being a highly admired superstar, his girlfriend deserved more than just a simple celebration.
"Isn’t there something better?"
"Then eat at an expensive restaurant, book a fancy hotel, arrange a private cinema, and give a more expensive gift."
"Damn! Just spend more money, that’s it?"
"Nonsense, what else can you do, appeal to her interests, don’t you know? Just give her what she likes."
