"Call me if you need anything, though I can’t promise I’ll help." Watching Liu Xin’an get out of the car at the hotel entrance, Old E also got out of the driver’s seat and walked to the trunk to see Liu Xin’an carry his own luggage.
The teasing from his friend made Liu Xin’an roll his eyes speechlessly.
"You guys are leaving already? Not staying for a meal? It’s on me."
"Nah, I need to get back and prepare for my stream. But how are you even going to stream?"
Old E knew very well that Liu Xin’an was similar to him; even if they were out for some variety show, they would still find a way to sneak in some streaming time. He reached out and poked the backpack on Liu Xin’an’s back, unsurprisingly feeling a laptop inside.
"What are you planning to stream this time?"
"Nothing much, just a few random games. But it seems like I also have to play games with some celebrities on this program."
"No way, you’ll be so frustrated!" Old E gloated, not believing that celebrities could play games.
Liu Xin’an just showed a helpless expression in response.
He didn’t know much about the domestic celebrities, but he knew that the ones coming this time, like Momo and Son Seungwan, had some understanding of games.
The three major agencies took this variety show collaboration very seriously. Son Seungwan aside, Momo was even ordered by her company to learn some game-related content in advance.
During the time he was with her, Momo frequently asked him questions about games.
It had to be said that some celebrities’ success wasn’t without reason.
His girlfriend’s group, Red Velvet, worked hard, and his uncle’s group, Twice, was equally diligent.
"Really not staying for a meal? I rarely get to come back, and you guys aren’t even treating me?"
Liu Xin’an’s complaint made Feifei, who was in the front passenger seat, roll down the window. The cute girl with a bit of baby fat smiled cheerfully: "Sure, let me meet Irene, and Goose and I will treat you."
"You’re putting me in a tough spot. Alright, be careful on your way back. I’m heading upstairs."
After waving goodbye to the two, Liu Xin’an pulled his suitcase into the hotel lobby.
He told the receptionist his purpose, and she replied, "One moment, please." Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on nοvelfire.net
The hotel lobby was very spacious and bright. After finding a seat, Liu Xin’an patiently waited for the staff to arrive.
He didn’t have to wait long. After a while, a familiar man appeared in front of him.
"An Zi Ge, sorry to keep you waiting."
"Not at all." Liu Xin’an waved his hand with a smile and pulled his suitcase as he stood up.
"Here’s your room card, An Zi Ge. We’ve arranged a suite for you. It might be a bit tough over the next period."
Liu Xin’an took the room card, glanced at it, and put it in his pocket.
As long as there’s a place to stay.
"The room is equipped with an internet connection, so your streaming needs will be met. However, please refrain from revealing too much about the program. If you’re free tomorrow afternoon, give me a call, and I’ll take you to meet the director and other staff."
Liu Xin’an nodded. After saving Mr. Wu’s number in his phone, he bid him farewell with a smile.
The suite was similar to the one he had stayed in with Bae Juhyun the last time he was in Shanghai.
But unfortunately, this time he didn’t have the company of the beautiful Ms. Bae.
For a game streamer, the first thing to do upon arriving at the hotel was to set up all his precious digital equipment.
The suite had a large desk with an internet cable as Mr. Wu mentioned. After connecting everything, Liu Xin’an tested the internet speed.
It was sufficient, with no issues for streaming. After all, this was a hotel partnered with Bilibili, and it was in Shanghai, where every inch of land was precious, so there was no need to worry about the internet.
While updating a series of streaming software with his mouse, his phone suddenly vibrated on the desk.
There was only one person who would call him at this time—Bae Juhyun, who had just finished her practice session.
Liu Xin’an casually answered the video call, but as soon as he saw Bae Juhyun’s face, dripping with sweat on the screen, he instantly regretted it.
As expected, Bae Juhyun’s eyes lit up as soon as she saw him.
"You arrived at the hotel?"
"Let me see the place. Is it a suite?"
"Yes, the platform provided a suite."
Unable to resist Bae Juhyun’s urging, Liu Xin’an got up and walked around the room with his phone.
He was very careful not to show his suitcase, but even without seeing it, Bae Juhyun would definitely ask.
"Where’s your suitcase? Did you unpack?"
Great, his speechlessness already answered his girlfriend’s question.
Bae Juhyun laughed exasperatedly: "So you unpacked your computer and everything first and left your suitcase untouched. I don’t even know what to say to you."
"Go hang up your clothes first. You’re staying for a long time, right?"
Liu Xin’an put his phone aside and quickly pulled his suitcase into the room.
After hanging up his clothes as Bae Juhyun instructed, Ms. Bae was very satisfied this time.
"Did you go there early to make any preparations?"
