Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?

Just when Bae Juhyun arrived at S-M, Liu Xin'an, as usual, started his own live broadcast.

Of course, having just revealed his relationship with Bae Juhyun yesterday, without even thinking about it, Liu Xin'an could guess what everyone joining the live stream today would want to mention.

[Where's Sister Bamboo? Where's Sister Bamboo? Where's Sister Bamboo?]

[Why is it a male streamer starting the broadcast today?]

[Now that you've gone public, will you be able to stream together without any pressure in the future?]

[Not necessarily, right... If Brother Xin'an brings Sister Bae onto the stream, wouldn't S-M charge a copyright fee?]

[Have you no shame? Do you know how much popularity Brother Xin'an brought to Red Velvet? So much for gratitude, huh?]

[S-M is capable of doing such a thing]

Even though Bae Juhyun's identity had been completely revealed, many fans still habitually referred to her as Sister Bamboo, and "Bamboo" thus became a brand new nickname for Bae Juhyun, following "Sister Bae," "Bunny Bae," "Pillar," and a bunch of other monikers.

Ah! Fans seem to call these nicknames, right?

"She's working; idols are very busy. Don't assume she's free now just because her comeback has ended; she's still got all her usual work to do. When we first got together, she was relatively less busy, but even then, she was running to the company every day, attending all sorts of classes, let alone now."

[Is there a lot of pressure being with an idol? Can Xin'an handle it?]

[Isn't it normal for idols to be too busy and not see their loved ones for a month or two? Many idol couples break up over such issues.]

"Uh, that's actually not too bad, you should know something, my seven hours of streaming every day mean that if everything goes as planned, I have seven hours when I can't accompany her. If we do the math, it's not really clear who has more time."

[This round's on me]

[Full responsibility of the chat]

[Can't you stream with her?]

[The capitalists would be ashamed in front of the previous commenter]

"Right, now that you know the blame's on you, you should stop asking for her in the stream all the time. It makes me feel not so great!"

[Pass it on, I got too close to Sister Bae and made Brother Xin'an unhappy]

[Tell us more, is Brother Xin'an unhappy with you or with Sister Bae?]

"Let's play the game, play the game. Today we'll head to the Demon Realm to find Chonglou. I'm not going to comment on the gameplay, but the graphics and music are pretty good."

At this time, Liu Xin'an was controlling "Yue Qingshu," the female protagonist of "Immortal Sword 7."

This game had just been released a couple of days ago, and as a long-time Immortal Sword enthusiast, Liu Xin'an naturally got the activation code from Cubes right away, and after various re-downloads, he officially entered the game.

Compared to previous titles, this Immortal Sword 7 saw a complete overhaul, which he spent an entire afternoon lambasting on the day of release.

As he mentioned, whether the shift from traditional turn-based combat to real-time is good or not, Liu Xin'an couldn't judge.

But simply as a "game enthusiast," he could confidently say that this game wasn't very fun to play.

However, nostalgia did count for a lot, especially after completing a side quest, unlocking many classic theme songs from past games, and hearing the familiar "Return to Dreaming of Immortals," Liu Xin'an almost teared up right there in his stream.

[It's been two days since we heard the streamer talk about Immortal Sword stories]

"Do you guys want to see it? If you want, let's finish Immortal Sword 7 today, and we can go back and play Immortal Sword 4 later!"

This comment lit up Liu Xin'an's eyes. As a veteran player, he was very willing to reminisce and play the old games again.

Moreover... he also wanted to let the new players in the stream, those who've just joined the gaming circle, really enjoy the fun of the old games.

Unfortunately, his enthusiasm didn't receive much response from everyone.

Compared to games... perhaps bringing Bae Juhyun over to cosplay as Liu Mengli would spark greater interest?

But speaking honestly, having his girlfriend cosplay Liu Mengli might be a bit difficult, not because Bae Juhyun lacks the "immortal" vibe, but mainly because the... hardware isn't quite up to standard.

"Ahem." Imagining that scene, Liu Xin'an coughed awkwardly, deciding not to let his mind wander and instead focused more on the game in front of him.

While advancing the story and playing for about half an hour, the phone on the table began to vibrate.

Liu Xin'an glanced at the caller ID; the words "Uncle" startled him slightly. In fact, his uncle had already called him yesterday afternoon, soon after he went public with his relationship with Bae Juhyun.

At the time, his uncle's main concern was whether he could withstand the pressure. After all, Korean netizens can be pretty demanding, and Liu Xin'an was after all a foreigner.

When people from around here become xenophobic, they really unite. It would be bad if he got trolled too hard by these critics.

Thankfully, Liu Xin'an had a strong resilience, and of course... it also helped that insults in Korean were not as heart-stabbingly direct as those in Chinese.

Sometimes, Liu Xin'an found himself wanting to laugh at those nasty comments. Apart from the term "bastard," the rest were simply "brat," "mixed kid"... they sounded more like mild criticisms than anything else.

After some thought, Liu Xin'an decided to pause the game and, telling his fans to wait for a moment, he turned off his microphone.

Then, he picked up the call: "Uncle?"

"Xin'an, are you busy?"

"Not too bad, I'm streaming. What's up, Uncle?"

"S-M has stepped in, do you know about this?"
