Chapter 456: Bae Juhyun With No Friends
Over the past two years, the lifestyle section... or more accurately, the food section has been booming, and Liu Xin'an, a veteran user, has watched it all unfold.
Though he became a creator late, his user ID is a four-digit one, marking him as a longtime, reputable user.
Bae Juhyun's personal variety show can also be considered a type of unique lifestyle video.
However, chaos-driven videos obviously don't align with Bae Juhyun's overall vibe, so compared to those messy types, the aesthetic direction of food videos seems more suitable for her.
At the same time, food videos can also display Bae Juhyun's "girl power," and having her friends taste-test can also ride on the popularity of various celebrities...
Yes, Liu Xin'an has thoroughly thought through strategies as a creator to help Bae Juhyun plan her content.
These unspoken ideas were noticed by Bae Juhyun after a brief silence.
Quieting down, she thought carefully about Liu Xin'an's suggestions, then showed a hesitant expression.
"Just filming videos of me cooking and then... how do I share it with my friends?"
"Just take it directly to them and let them taste it, then film their reactions. For you celebrities, that should be second nature, right?"
"Would that be interesting?"
"Hmm... you could also add rewards and penalties in each episode. If the dish matches the taste of the friend you chose and gets positive feedback, you get a reward. If it doesn't get good feedback, you get punished. Wouldn't that add some variety show elements as well?"
The more Bae Juhyun listened, the brighter her eyes became.
A simple project gradually formed in her mind.
Then, she suddenly stood up: "Where's your iPad?"
"Uh... in the livestream room."
As soon as the words were out, Bae Juhyun had already run out of the bedroom.
Liu Xin'an didn't use the iPad as a productivity tool; he usually used it for watching shows while eating, and after starting to date Bae Juhyun, the iPad became more of a tool for her to look at things.
So it came with a pen and keyboard, and the system language was preset to Korean for her convenience.
Anyway, he could understand it.
Soon, Bae Juhyun came running back into the bedroom with the iPad in her arms.
She glanced at Liu Xin'an, who was leaning against the headboard and occasionally coughing, and suddenly smacked her own forehead.
She was really going crazy; this was the time to take care of Liu Xin'an, and she was getting distracted with these variety show plans!
She casually put the iPad aside and reached out to feel Liu Xin'an's forehead again.
The still feverish touch made her frown.
"How about... going to the hospital?"
"It's not necessary, just 38 degrees, not weak enough to warrant a hospital visit."
"Hey, don't play tough. If you get too feverish, I won't keep you!"
Miss Bae, with a puffed-up face, chose harsh words to threaten Liu Xin'an.
But Liu Xin'an wasn't buying it. He put on a deliberately forlorn look, his voice nasal from congestion, making his self-mockery sound even more pitiable.
"If it ever gets to that point... just find someone better."
"Ahh..."
Bae Juhyun was speechless; if she couldn't tell he was intentionally saying that, she'd be too dumb to be saved.
"Stop trying to scare me like this. Do you think I wouldn't do it?"
Liu Xin'an spread his hands, his eyes showing a trace of seriousness: "I'm serious."
Perhaps Liu Xin'an's expression indeed mirrored his words' sincerity, a sense of panic coursed through Bae Juhyun's entire body. She quickly moved to cover Liu Xin'an's mouth with her hand, just about to say something when she saw the laughter hidden in his deep eyes.
That instantly flared her temper. In anger, she picked up the pillow beside her and raised it high.
For a moment, she hesitated before striking, finally deciding to hit Liu Xin'an's belly with the pillow instead of his head.
"Is teasing me so fun for you?"
"Ah! Hehe, it kind of is."
"Really... "
Bae Juhyun resisted the urge to roll her eyes, got up, and reached out to grab the pillow behind Liu Xin'an.
"Lie down and stop leaning. You've had food and medicine, so just sleep peacefully for a bit... Speaking of which, when did you take your medicine?"
"In the morning. I'll wait a while longer, then take some more medicine and sleep."
"Where's the medicine?"
"Uh, in the second left drawer of the living room TV cabinet."
Following Liu Xin'an's description, Bae Juhyun brought the medicine into the bedroom.
However, she was dazzled by the array of Chinese labels on the pills, ultimately having no choice but to hand them back to Liu Xin'an, letting him choose for himself.
"Make sure to pick the effective medicine, okay?"
Liu Xin'an had an odd look on his face, thinking... was he supposed to pick the ineffective ones?
After selecting the medicine and setting it aside, Liu Xin'an looked at the worried face of Bae Juhyun and smiled gently.
"I'm really fine. You should focus on your work; don't let me distract you."
Bae Juhyun didn't respond. She stood from the bedside, glanced at the spot beside Liu Xin'an, which was usually hers, thought about it, and then sat back down at the edge of the bed.
"I'll wait until you fall asleep."
Liu Xin'an seemed to have noticed Bae Juhyun's hesitation. He patted the spot beside him, confident that his cold causing the fever wouldn't infect her.
"If you don't mind, want to work here?"
Being called out made Bae Juhyun smile cheerfully. She nodded, climbed over Liu Xin'an, and the soft bed trembled with her presence.
