Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?

Being trolled by viewers wasn't unusual, but this time Liu Xin'an handled it more calmly than ever before.

After turning off the camera and no longer showing Bae Juhyun, the number of non-game-related comments on the screen indeed decreased significantly.

Of course, the number of viewers also noticeably dropped.

This wasn't the first time Liu Xin'an had this attitude. After an accidental face reveal, many suggested he try streaming with the camera on. Back then, every appearance he made sparked heated discussions on the platform, and his numbers soared.

Now that he had confirmed his relationship with Bae Juhyun, having her on screen was no different from his past face reveals.

Back then, Liu Xin'an was extremely resistant. It took him six months after getting a girlfriend and considering future public appearances to even start showing his face.

And now, there was no reason for him to compromise.

Turning off the camera didn't make Bae Juhyun leave. She wasn't there to be on camera but simply wanted to watch her boyfriend play games.

Even though she didn't understand a thing, just sitting next to Liu Xin'an made her extremely satisfied.

The livestream ended at nine in the evening, and Bae Juhyun had been sitting by Liu Xin'an's side, watching him work until he finished.

When Liu Xin'an took off his headset and put down the controller, Bae Juhyun lazily stretched, her cute demeanor making Liu Xin'an want to laugh.

"Did you understand anything?"

Immortal Sword 7 was a fantasy martial arts game. His girlfriend, though striving to learn Chinese, still had a long way to go in comprehending traditional culture.

"I didn't understand. I just saw you making the character fly around the screen."

"You keep watching even when you don't understand."

"I just like to watch. Are you going to stop me?"

Bae Juhyun stood up, replied, and then strolled out of the streaming room. Liu Xin'an followed her out.

When the two of them lazily collapsed onto the sofa, Bae Juhyun finally remembered Liu Xin'an's displeased expression from earlier.

"Did you say something to the fans?"

Because the livestream was ongoing, she couldn't directly ask him at the time.

But after Liu Xin'an said whatever he did, the comments she could understand almost entirely ceased. He must have said something to stop people from posting non-stream-related content.

There's nothing wrong with that approach, but it could easily offend people. Though Bae Juhyun didn't understand streaming, she understood fans.

"I just told them not to bring up unrelated topics. I didn't say anything extreme."

"Phew, that's fine. I was just worried you'd say something to offend the fans in the heat of the moment." Bae Juhyun let out a big sigh of relief. Liu Xin'an might usually seem gentle, but when he got stubborn, he wouldn't budge an inch.

"How could I? Am I that tactless?"

"Aren't you?"

Bae Juhyun's skeptical look left Liu Xin'an speechless. He lay back on the sofa, lazily lifting his leg and draping it over her lap.

Such a casual demeanor could anger any Bae Juhyun fan who saw it, but she didn't mind at all. Instead, she started to massage his leg.

After a bit, Liu Xin'an suddenly asked with a strange tone, "What if I took a photo of this and posted it online? Wouldn't your fans be very angry?"

"You can try."

"Maybe not."

Bae Juhyun stifled a laugh. It was just a fun little interaction between them as a couple. During those rare days when she rested, Liu Xin'an had been taking care of her.

Back then, besides giving massages, if he had the tools, he would have even tried cupping therapy on her.

"Tomorrow's stream is at your company, right?"

"Yes, we have a dedicated streaming room. Our streams are different from what you're used to, so don't get confused."

"I know. I watched your birthday stream before."

Liu Xin'an's reply left Bae Juhyun speechless for a moment. After a while, feeling awkward, she angrily swatted at his arm.

As she's said, if she could help it, Bae Juhyun didn't want Liu Xin'an to see too much of her on-screen persona.

Most of what he saw on screen was "Irene of Red Velvet," not "Bae Juhyun."

In other words, the on-screen her was slightly different from her real self.

Bae Juhyun didn't want Liu Xin'an to mistake the on-screen her for the real her...

Fortunately, from the beginning, Liu Xin'an got to know her as "Bae Juhyun" rather than "Irene."

"Didn't I tell you not to watch those?"

"Keeping up with my girlfriend's updates is just what a boyfriend should do."

"Ugh, just try to watch less in the future... And no matter what comments you see tomorrow, don't let them get to you, okay?"

There are no moderators on Instagram live to block inappropriate comments. Moreover, back when Bae Juhyun appeared on Liu Xin'an's stream, she couldn't understand most of the Chinese comments, even the negative ones, so she wasn't affected.

But Liu Xin'an was different. As someone fluent in both Chinese and Korean, he would undoubtedly encounter some fans who wouldn't support their relationship.
