With a cheery grin, Bae Juhyun ducked Liu Xin’an’s large hand and inadvertently caught sight of the secondary screen behind Liu Xin’an.
Quite coincidentally, the screen was already flooded with the Korean language she was familiar with.
[Xiaozhu and Anzi brother play together]
[Please play together, don’t make me beg on my knees]
[Anzi brother has no friends, Xiaozhu if you don’t play with him, he’ll be left fighting himself]
Besides these, there were some machine-translated words she couldn’t quite understand.
Although she couldn’t fully grasp everything, Bae Juhyun still caught on to the urgency and overall sentiment.
Liu Xin’an’s large hand eventually did pinch her cheek, but this time Bae Juhyun didn’t act coy or play cute, instead she gently patted the large hand that constrained her delicate face.
When he let go, she blinked and curiously pointed to the screen behind Liu Xin’an.
"Everyone seems really keen on me playing the game with you."
Only then did Liu Xin’an remember the livestream viewers he had neglected, and he hurriedly looked back, shocked upon seeing the screen full of Korean text.
He frowned and moved the mouse to close those comments.
But before he could act, Bae Juhyun grabbed his large hand.
"There’s a comment here saying you think I don’t play well, is that true?"
Bae Juhyun gently held her boyfriend’s hand, her tone soft and smiling sweetly.
But the chilliness conveyed in her words made Liu Xin’an’s hairs stand on end.
"How could that be possible, last time when we played that cooking game, didn’t you do well? They’re talking nonsense."
"Then let’s play together, the fans have been urging me so many times!"
If it had been before, Bae Juhyun might not have insisted so much on this.
But things were different now.
The call at noon with Liu Xin’an’s father made Bae Juhyun suddenly realize that in ways she didn’t know, her boyfriend had always been preparing to help her out.
She didn’t want to be just a woman silently enjoying Liu Xin’an’s love.
A healthy relationship can’t have just one side always giving.
Liu Xin’an supported her work, similarly, Bae Juhyun also wanted to support him in his work realm.
Meeting the fans’ demands could also be seen as a unique way to support Liu Xin’an, and with this opportunity presenting itself, Bae Juhyun didn’t want to miss it.
"They say this game must be played by two people together, it seems very popular, don’t you think the fans will go watch someone else if you don’t stream it?"
Bae Juhyun widened her eyes; she didn’t understand livestreaming, didn’t get the viewers, but she understood fans.
The fans’ approach was no different from their fans switching loyalty.
This kind of situation is something an idol, an artist absolutely cannot accept!
He took a deep breath, his expression torn between crying and laughing.
"If I just stay off-camera and keep quiet, wouldn’t that solve it? Is it that hard?"
Bae Juhyun countered, leaving Liu Xin’an somewhat at a loss for words.
The point she made was indeed valid, just turn off the camera, and as for the voice... the headphones Bae Juhyun gave him happened to be exceptionally professional in picking up sound, capable of capturing only his voice while blocking out any nearby sounds.
"Let’s do it together~ The fans have always wanted to see us play games together, and I want to play with you too. How about it, darling~"
With such a stunningly beautiful woman coquettishly clinging to his arm, anyone would probably find it hard to resist.
Xin’an couldn’t help the rise in his cheekbones, and his smile made Bae Juhyun’s eyes light up.
"Really want to play?"
"...Do you know how to use the controller?"
"Don’t look down on me, I picked up that kitchen game the other day pretty quickly, why do you always treat me like a fool?"
Bae Juhyun grumbled discontentedly, unhappy about being underestimated by Liu Xin’an.
"Okay, okay, then wait for me for a sec, um... sit here, I need to test the microphone."
Liu Xin’an sighed helplessly. Given what he had boasted about in the chat, joining in the game wasn’t such a bad idea after all.
"Woo-hoo! What should I do now? Where’s the controller? Can we start the game?"
"Wait a minute... I’ll adjust it..." Xin’an glanced at the woman beside him, and then slightly increased the distance between them, which earned him a look of dissatisfaction from Bae Juhyun.
Why sit so far away from her?
She just remembered a TV show she had seen once, where the male and female leads played a game together, and the girl would lean on the boy’s shoulder when her character "died" by accident.
Honestly... Juhyun wanted to do the same.
But now, with the gap between her and Xin’an, she’d probably fall hard if she leaned over.
"Let’s test the microphone reception first. Can you guarantee you’ll be completely silent while playing?"
That was a strong response; Juhyun had no rebuttal this time. She just crossed her legs and watched Xin’an fiddle with the mouse on the computer.
After a few seconds, Xin’an coughed and looked at Bae Juhyun.
"Say something, try it." Discover more novels at noᴠelfire.net
Bae Juhyun almost resorted to a falsetto.
Only then did Xin’an nod in satisfaction.
"Okay, it won’t pick up your voice, we’re set now."
"...So in this live stream, I’m neither showing my face nor speaking?"
Although this was Bae Juhyun’s own suggestion, she still couldn’t help feeling complex about it as it unfolded.
What’s the difference between this and being an accessory? It’s supposed to be playing together, but it seems like anyone could replace her perfectly!
Xin’an raised an eyebrow, a smile appearing on his face, as he slid his gaming chair over to Bae Juhyun and affectionately wrapped an arm around his girlfriend’s shoulders.
He naturally let Bae Juhyun take the comfortable gaming chair, while he settled for a regular chair.
Bae Juhyun didn’t refuse. She smiled sweetly and lovingly "Mua~" kissed Xin’an.
"Thank you, darling~" That was her cutesy way of expressing gratitude.
