Miss Bae, who didn’t want to be alone, eventually chose a position that tested Liu Xin’an’s endurance.
She sat on Liu Xin’an’s lap, leaning against the man’s chest, staring eagerly at the computer screen she couldn’t understand at all.
Meanwhile, Liu Xin’an wrapped his arms around her waist, holding the controller while resting his chin on the fragrant shoulder of the woman in his arms.
This intimate gesture would make any fan of Bae Juhyun genuinely envious, but unfortunately, no one but the two of them could see this affection.
Bae Juhyun loved this sitting position as it filled her with a sense of security.
Uh... but this position wasn’t very friendly to Liu Xin’an.
The soft fragrance of the woman in his embrace impacted his senses, but luckily, fitness enthusiasts never lack self-control.
Besides... he was a gaming enthusiast!
Soon, Liu Xin’an was back into the live stream, while Bae Juhyun remained quietly watching Liu Xin’an play a game she didn’t understand at all.
Even without any communication, just being this close together made Bae Juhyun feel happy.
About half an hour later, Bae Juhyun suddenly felt her phone vibrating. She took a look, then showed it to Liu Xin’an.
After skimming through the message, Liu Xin’an saved the game and cleared his throat.
"I’m logging off now, getting some food for a late-night snack. Chenglu just arrived today, got to treat her to some seafood."
[Outdoor, outdoor, outdoor]
[I’ve already ordered takeout. If you don’t stream again, what will I eat with my meal?]
[Wow, seafood sounds great]
"We’ll see about the outdoor stream. Don’t wait up; we’ll probably eat late—get some rest if you need to. Work tomorrow, you know?"
Liu Xin’an said with a smile, then methodically shut down the stream along with the microphone.
Then he tightly hugged the woman in his arms, burying his head in Bae Juhyun’s neck and taking a deep breath.
The warm breath and tightening arms made Bae Juhyun giggle. She then lifted her hand gently to rub her boyfriend’s black hair.
The message Bae Juhyun had shown him earlier was from Li Chenglu, announcing the end of a mahjong game.
It was also the signal for a late-night snack.
"Shall we invite Li Chenglu over first? Should we ask Jinhee to join us for some food?"
"Hmm, let Chenglu ask her." Bae Juhyun took out her phone and sent Li Chenglu a message.
A few minutes later, there was a knock at the door.
Logically, they should have gone to open the door when they heard the knocking.
But the hands around her waist didn’t budge in the slightest.
His firm arms kept her securely in his embrace. Bae Juhyun struggled slightly to no avail and had no choice but to plant a kiss on Liu Xin’an’s cheek to appease him.
This satisfied Liu Xin’an.
He loosened his grip on Bae Juhyun’s waist but still sat on the sofa without getting up.
Bae Juhyun, knowing why Liu Xin’an wouldn’t get up, blushed slightly and playfully scolded him. After Liu Xin’an awkwardly crossed his legs, she tidied her shirt a little before going to the door to answer it.
Waiting outside were Li Chenglu and her younger sister, Bae Jinhee.
Bae Jinhee wasn’t some elderly elder—of course, she wouldn’t want to miss out on a seafood late-night snack, so when Li Chenglu invited her, she readily agreed without much thought.
"So, are we streaming this?"
Li Chenglu casually asked as she entered.
Following behind her, Bae Jinhee was puzzled, "Are we still streaming?"
"Hmm, while Liu Xin’an was streaming earlier, our chat was seen by the viewers, so they requested a late-night snack stream."
"...What do you mean ’seen’? Didn’t you interact with me on the public screen?" Liu Xin’an humorously retorted.
"Right, so are we doing it?"
Li Chenglu understood Liu Xin’an’s character very well. She knew that if Liu Xin’an didn’t want to do something, even with viewer pressure, he wouldn’t comply.
As for whether Liu Xin’an’s disregard for viewer wishes would upset them... please, Liu Xin’an was a disciple of Old E, well-versed in addressing viewer demands.
The real loyal viewers understood Liu Xin’an’s personality and wouldn’t say much.
In fact, they would even proactively explain to new viewers who were in the dark.
Yeah... the viewers really had their work cut out for them.
"We’ll talk about it later; she wants to show some PDA."
Liu Xin’an tapped Bae Juhyun’s head, causing her to yelp, then jokingly punched him back.
"I don’t want to, you do!"
As if! Bae Juhyun valued face too much; while she might admit it to Liu Xin’an, acknowledging it in front of Li Chenglu and Bae Jinhee was impossible.
Receiving a punch made Liu Xin’an speechless. Deciding to save Bae Juhyun some face, he didn’t refute and simply shrugged it off.
"Alright, it’s me who wants it."
Hmm... trying to cover up, but Li Chenglu and Bae Jinhee weren’t fools.
Especially Bae Jinhee—she immediately saw through her sister’s lie. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel~fire~net
"By the way, Juhyun, if you have time, you should explain to Uncle and Auntie. It’s better if they don’t misunderstand my relationship with Liu Xin’an."
Li Chenglu suddenly remembered the odd expression on Juhyun’s parents’ faces when she first arrived, and quickly mentioned it to Bae Juhyun.
