Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?-Chapter 1396 - 596: Daily Life on a Romance Variety Show Unfolds (Part 2)

"So you ended up choosing this one, huh."

"Juhyun chose it; she thought it would be good for me to participate."

"Hmm...that's true; you wouldn't understand anything from those other ones you attended."

"So what's the difference?"

"There's definitely a difference, but for someone like you who hasn't participated in many indoor variety shows, even if there's a difference, you probably wouldn't notice it."

"..."

"The show is still good; it's a very famous program. It's good to have fun... Holy crap, can I come along and watch when you guys are filming!?"

Li Chenglu suddenly got excited. Naturally, she wanted to broaden her horizons.

But...

"Your vacation is almost over, isn't it? If you don't go back soon, Brother Wang might come to drag you back."

Li Chenglu has been out for over half a month now. While she is indeed the star of the studio, even as a star, being absent from work for over half a month is unreasonable.

Liu Xin'an's words instantly quieted Li Chenglu. She took out her phone, found her boss's WeChat, and made a call.

Then, she closed the door gently, restoring peace to the room once again.

Liu Xin'an turned around happily to look at the computer.

Finally sent this troublesome person away.

Liu Xin'an was right; for Li Chenglu, her vacation was almost over.

It's unrealistic to continue lounging around here. Because of her absence, a lot of work has already piled up at the studio.

She's a simultaneous interpreter, but she also handles a lot of paperwork.

Given her high level of expertise, she can't always pick up simultaneous interpreting work, so translating documents is part of her daily job.

As the studio's best processor, her absence is sure to impact the studio's operation.

The impact might be manageable for over half a month, but if it accumulates to a month...

"I'll head back after watching the first episode."

Li Chenglu returned with a blank expression, holding her phone, announcing to Liu Xin'an when she'd be going back.

Liu Xin'an nodded, his smile both charming and bright: "Remember to give my regards to Brother Wang."

"Ugh, it's so annoying. When I go back, your godmother will definitely find a way to bother me again!"

"How does godmother know you're back in the country?"

"It's my dad, of course!" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Ah..."

Well, considering her godfather's level of doting on his daughter, Li Chenglu's return would surely be known to him through some strange channels.

Li Changhe dotes on his daughter, but he also dotes on his wife.

If Wu Xiu asks, Li Changhe is likely to enthusiastically give his wife the itinerary of Li Chenglu.

"So you still have five days off?"

"Yeah, I bought my plane ticket. I'll start working in a few days; I've asked Old Wang to send me the materials."

"Short on money?"

"No, just bored here; there's really nothing fun to do in Seoul."

This country is so distorted. Seoul is perhaps only famous for its nightclubs.

She's not the type to run around playing, and with her looks, going to such chaotic places like a nightclub, she would probably get hit on until she gets frustrated.

Liu Xin'an doesn't take her around the world, let alone Bae Juhyun and the others; they're busy to death now...

"Do Juhyun and the others need a translator? I'll give them a discount."

"Stop it."

"Ah~ so boring~"

...

In the blink of an eye, a few days quietly passed by.

For Liu Xin'an, these days were fulfilling.

Either watching Bae Juhyun and the others perform live or staying at home playing his favorite games.

Since Bae Juhyun and the others were always busy, he didn't necessarily have to think about accompanying his girlfriend.

She was working, and he was working too.

Such a life went on for a few days until finally, the time arrived for the highly anticipated... true entertainment industry couple's romantic show's premiere day.

These seven days that felt incredibly long were finally over. Liu Xin'an started his livestream at 4 PM Korean time, and at this time, it was only 3 PM domestic time.

[Here we go!!!]

The moment the live broadcast notification was sent out, this Friday afternoon, which countless workers had been eagerly awaiting, was completely ignited by this message.

Instantly, tens of thousands of viewers flooded into Liu Xin'an's live room. Fortunately, Little Bilibili had already prepared all kinds of pressure tests for Liu Xin'an's live room; otherwise, the sudden influx of viewers would've surely made the already problematic live area of Little Bilibili even more laggy...

"Hey everyone, aren't you guys working? It shouldn't be off-work time in the country, right?"

Liu Xin'an was very aware of the composition of Little Bilibili users.

Mostly students, plus some corporate slaves.

These people logically shouldn't be using their phones at this time. How did they show up the moment he started the stream, as if they had been waiting for it all along?

[Is there really someone working on a Friday?]

[Sneaking to listen to the live stream]

[Listening to the live stream +1]

"Listening to the live stream sounds reasonable. The show's not on yet; it's not aired yet, so let me play some games first. Ah~ I wish I could get knocked out with a stick and wake up directly on New Year's."

[???]

[Why such a strange thought?]

[Old viewers don't know that An Zi Ge is a Fire Emblem player?]

[The new Fire Emblem is coming out the day before the New Year]

[Almost! A little over 60 years left!]

[Feels like a year, huh]

[Let's watch some videos; can't we look at some of Sister Juhyun's material?]

[That's enough; don't always make An Zi Ge revolve around Sister Juhyun; he's a gaming streamer. Shouldn't he be playing games instead of always watching his girlfriend?]

[True, indeed]

[Honestly, I want to watch games more]

[As long as it's not a strategy game, I'm good]

[Three Kingdoms, maybe? It's the end of the year, and it doesn't feel like the New Year without Three Kingdoms]

"What's wrong with strategy games? You guys just don't get the charm of strategy games at all!"

Speaking of strategy games, Liu Xin'an got interested.

It's the type of game he's most passionate about and engrossed in. Whenever he encounters players who equally love games, he'll wholeheartedly recommend the beauty of strategy games to them.

It's just that nowadays, players are drawn away by those high-quality, high-investment AAA games, and few pay attention to the strategy games that once were all the rage years ago.

[Quick! Change the topic, An Zi Ge is about to start promoting games again]

[Break break break break break!]

[Alright, we all love strategy games, so what are we playing today?]

Of course, Liu Xin'an knew the viewers didn't want to hear his long speeches. He didn't need to go against everyone; besides, today's livestream was probably not just for the regulars. A lot of CP fans had staked out in the live room early on, so he casually picked a cute-looking little game he found recently and started playing with enthusiasm.

As a loyal player, graphics were never something Liu Xin'an cared much about.

The Nintendo fans are always all about gameplay. Graphics?

His favorite is pixel art!

After playing for quite a while, Liu Xin'an was clearly captivated by this game that looked childish but had relatively hardcore gameplay.

He didn't even notice as time crept closer to 6 PM Korea time.

Fortunately, there was still someone at home keeping an eye on the stream.

"Hey!! It's almost six o'clock!!"

A shout from Li Chenglu finally snapped Liu Xin'an out of his game trance.

He instinctively glanced at his secondary monitor, discovering that the viewers were now as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

Quickly, Liu Xin'an paused the game, saved his progress, used Alt+F4 to force close the game, then opened his browser and clicked on Red Velvet's homepage from his favorites.

After doing all this, there were still nearly two minutes left before the video update.

"Ahem, almost forgot. Come on, let's watch the show, everyone!"

Liu Xin'an laughed awkwardly, ignored the viewers' angry complaints, and happily got up to pour himself a glass of water.

It was his first time officially watching the finished show!
