"I’m so bored. I don’t have any work recently. When does your show start filming? I’ll get a temporary pass to check out the set."
"The day after tomorrow, we should start filming. Are you coming?"
"If I don’t have any work, I’ll come by. Alright, nothing else. Continue your live stream. Bye."
As expected of Li Chenglu, she always hung up so decisively.
Liu Xin’an helplessly pouted, canceled the game’s pause, and turned the microphone back on, "Ahem, just took a call. Let’s start a new game. It’s all the call’s fault, I lost my no-damage streak."
[Noob noob noob noob]
[The streamer always has excuses]
"Stop that. Watch me beat this level without taking any damage this time. Just watch."

Liu Xin’an had only met Seong Taekyon once, but he was quite familiar with Han Jaeduk.
Also, he was familiar with Momo, the Japanese member of Twice, and...
Seeing Im Nayeon’s familiar face, Liu Xin’an was indeed a bit surprised. Mainly, he didn’t know Nayeon would be coming over as well.
But upon thinking about Bae Juhyun’s reason for coming, he quickly realized.
It wasn’t just S-M artists who got the notification. Since Bae Juhyun could show up, it made sense for Nayeon to appear as well.
Moreover, Nayeon had a lot of fans domestically, making her presence worth it. With his understanding of his uncle, it was typical for him to make such a decision.
"Why don’t you seem surprised at all?"
Nayeon was a bit dissatisfied with Liu Xin’an’s brief look of surprise.
Momo beside her smiled, "Please take care of us."
"No problem, come in first."
Liu Xin’an cheerfully stepped aside, letting the three members of Twice in. The usual routine, he took a few bottles of drinks from the fridge, evenly distributed them, and then opened a bottle of water for himself.
The live stream was already turned off. It didn’t run for long, but he planned to continue streaming at night, so it wasn’t a big deal.
"Why did Nayeon come along too?"
Even though he knew the truth, Liu Xin’an feigned a surprised expression, just to be cautious.
"The organizers contacted us and said if possible, they’d like more group members to join the on-site promotion. However, it won’t be part of the main show, just for generating buzz on the Bilibili platform. So Nayeon came along."
Hmm, as he understood it, Bilibili was just trying to get some free popularity...
"Liu Xin’an, your place is better than ours. That’s impressive."
Nayeon, who couldn’t sit still, started wandering around the room. Of course, she wouldn’t rudely run into places like the bathroom or bedroom, she just roamed around the living room and kitchen area.
But the fact that Liu Xin’an’s suite was more luxurious than theirs wasn’t something Nayeon made up.
"Momo’s going to the group dorm in a few days. I’m staying here for two months; of course my treatment is better."
"I’m also staying here for two months!" Nayeon felt indignant and returned to sit next to Momo.
That surprised Liu Xin’an a little. He looked at Han Jaeduk. He knew Nayeon and Momo very well.
As the most popular member of Twice, there was no way his uncle would let Nayeon be idle for two months just to shoot a variety show in China without showing her face.
"Does she not have any solo schedules during these two months?"
"She does. She’s just making things up. In the next two months, she has to go back and forth."
Han Jaeduk’s words made Nayeon a bit deflated, but she wasn’t against the trip. She had always appreciated the enthusiasm of Chinese fans and didn’t want to miss the opportunity to interact closely with them.
"I heard S-M artists have already arrived. Who came this time, Wendy?"
Han Jaeduk was well-informed. He got the news the moment Seong Taekyon from S-M arrived in Shanghai, but he wasn’t sure which artist came specifically.
Wendy was his guess, but he was sure Manager Kim wouldn’t only send Wendy.
Liu Xin’an hesitated for a second, then finally mentioned his girlfriend’s stage name.
"Irene also came? Is it okay for her to appear now?"
The familiar name slightly surprised Nayeon and Momo.
Liu Xin’an, hearing this, also showed a very surprised expression, "She can’t be on screen?"
"Well, Irene has some personal matters to deal with, making it inconvenient for her to appear publicly... but if it’s work like mine, then it should be fine."
Nayeon, different from her usual cheerful self, thoughtfully supported her chin, analyzing Bae Juhyun’s current situation very clearly.
"I see. Is she a well-known artist?"
"You mean Irene? How’s that, you should’ve met her this afternoon, right? Isn’t she incredibly beautiful?" Nayeon, dropping her earlier seriousness, returned to her playful self, teasingly questioning Liu Xin’an.
Liu Xin’an pursed his lips, neither denying nor confirming. It was hard enough pretending not to know Bae Juhyun, so commenting on her now...
It was important to know that Nayeon knew he had a girlfriend, but just didn’t know that his girlfriend was actually Bae Juhyun.
If he rashly praised Bae Juhyun now, in Nayeon’s eyes, unaware of his girlfriend’s identity, he would seem like a scumbag.
Better to say nothing!
His girlfriend was always the most beautiful in the world, Liu Xin’an thought intensely.
