[In this small town, food delivery isn’t available. Right now, I’m eating instant noodles—Master Kang’s seafood flavor, which kinda makes it feel like I’m eating seafood.]
[You’re lucky, I just pan-fried some steamed bun slices, boo-hoo-hoo]
[Hahaha, my fried chicken just arrived. I’m having a late-night snack, and so is Juhyun, so it’s like I’m having dinner with Juhyun!]
[Rounding up, you’re Juhyun]
[Isn’t that even more exciting? Now I can roast Xin’an.]
"What’s everyone talking about?" Bae Juhyun noticed Liu Xin’an’s expression of despair and curiously leaned over to look at the comments flashing across the screen.
"I was asking everyone if they had a late-night snack, because just watching us eat is kind of cruel."
"Right, how do you say ’What is everyone eating’ in Chinese?"
Bae Juhyun really wanted to interact with the livestream fans, so she deliberately asked Liu Xin’an.
Liu Xin’an said something in Chinese, and after Bae Juhyun heard it, she repeated it in her head a few times and then sweetly said, "Did everyone eat?"
[I didn’t eat, nothing to eat, but just looking at Juhyun’s face makes me full]
"They said they didn’t eat, but just by looking at you, they’re already full."
In Liu Xin’an’s understanding, this saying is equivalent to the idiom "feasting one’s eyes," meaning Bae Juhyun’s beauty is enough to make one forget hunger.
But Bae Juhyun didn’t understand this idiom.
She had a complicated expression; she didn’t know idioms, but she knew many livestream phrases.
After all, her boyfriend is an excellent gaming streamer.
"What? Is everyone saying that I’m visually appetizing?"
Hearing Bae Juhyun’s interpretation, Li Chenglu couldn’t hold in the laughter first and burst out laughing.
And her exaggerated laughter made Bae Jinhee curious. After Li Chenglu leaned over to explain to Bae Jinhee, she too couldn’t hide her smile.
"Why are you laughing?"
Looking at the puzzled pretty woman, Liu Xin’an’s expression was quite complex.
"How do you even know ’visually appetizing’?"
"Because I often see your fans say that watching your gameplay is ’appetizing’... doesn’t it mean being visually fed without actually eating, implying poor skills?" Bae Juhyun could relate; sometimes her sisters make her feel ’full’ too.
Maybe it’s about the same?
At this moment, Liu Xin’an really wanted to shout at something said by viewers earlier in the afternoon.
What on earth have these guys taught Bae Juhyun!!
"Everyone here is complimenting your beauty, because you’re so beautiful that it makes people forget hunger, that’s the meaning of ’feasting one’s eyes.’"
Liu Xin’an softly explained the real meaning to his girlfriend, and Bae Juhyun finally understood and smiled a little shyly.
She understood the fans’ meaning, but Liu Xin’an wasn’t pleased.
"Who told her that my gaming skills are visual snacks? Stand up!"
[Are you saying your skills aren’t bad?]
[Long time no see with Xin’an and Old E playing Left 4 Dead, when’s the next time?]
[You just want to see Xin’an get roasted to death!]
[To be honest, Xin’an is actually decent at turn-based strategy games]
[Does turn-based strategy require skill?]
[Hah, cloud gamers should experience it themselves; even buying a game will show how hard high-level strategies are]
Say what you will, Liu Xin’an does have a knack for steering conversations.
When the topic turned to gaming, everyone’s attention quickly shifted from Bae Juhyun.
Indeed, a lot of people came to see Bae Juhyun, but fundamentally, Bae Juhyun’s foundation in China isn’t as strong as Liu Xin’an’s.
Therefore, the number of casual viewers in the livestream still far exceeded fans.
"Turn-based strategy games are indeed tough. Sometimes they look easy, but when you play them, you realize there are so many calculations."
[Turn-based games have no entertainment value]
[How can they not, failing three 96% chances in a row, who else but Xin’an?]

Seeing this comment, Liu Xin’an remembered when he missed three consecutive shots while playing XCOM 2, which darkened his expression.
He stayed silent for a while, then finally cursed out of frustration.
Bae Juhyun understood the curse, while Bae Jinhee was curious and couldn’t help but ask.
Even though Bae Jinhee’s voice was soft, it was distinctly different from the other three in the room and caught the sharp ears of the viewers.
Suddenly, the live chat once again surged with comments, no less than when Bae Juhyun first appeared.
[Another girl’s voice?]
[Could it be Juhyun’s sister? I remember Juhyun has a sister!]
[As a 7-year Red Velvet fan, I can tell you no, otherwise, if it were really Juhyun’s teammate, she wouldn’t mind showing her face]
[Wouldn’t Juhyun’s extensively protected family be outed here with Xin’an?]
[Unlikely, Xin’an wouldn’t be that unreliable]
Just as the viewers said, Liu Xin’an would never casually expose Bae Jinhee.
This is someone Bae Juhyun deeply cares about, and to prevent her fans from disrupting her family’s life, Bae Juhyun has always carefully shielded them.
"Stop gossiping, just a staff member, have some of this."
Liu Xin’an casually said while picking up a piece of squid, dipping it into some sauce, and feeding it to Bae Juhyun.
At that moment, Bae Juhyun wasn’t on screen, so the viewers couldn’t see and there was no risk of provoking fans.
Well... his affectionate feeding gesture didn’t provoke fans.
But sitting across from him, Li Chenglu and Bae Jinhee were truly overwhelmed by the sweetness.
