Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?

The screen didn't show Liu Xin'an's face, but she could still recognize his voice.

The display was a game screen she didn't understand, and in the bottom right corner, there was a cute cat character.

Whenever Liu Xin'an spoke, the cat's mouth moved as if Liu Xin'an were that cat.

Working in the entertainment industry, Bae Juhyun knew about these trendy things, so she quickly realized that Liu Xin'an was using an avatar created through character capture.

There were similar streamers on YouTube.

However, the Chinese characters flooding the screen and Liu Xin'an speaking in Chinese made her feel a bit helpless.

Was this... a live stream?

Listening to Liu Xin'an's somewhat excited voice in the stream, Bae Juhyun's mood inexplicably improved a bit.

But soon, her barely lifted spirits plummeted.

She was here overthinking, reflecting on whether she had gone too far this afternoon...

Yet, this guy didn't seem bothered at all, on the contrary, he was seriously working...

Of course, not letting emotions affect his work was one of Liu Xin'an's strengths, but if he had shown a bit less enthusiasm now, she would have been very happy!

Looking at the flood of comments on the screen, Bae Juhyun became even more dissatisfied.

No, she wanted to join in too!

The translator was simply the greatest invention in the world—Bae Juhyun thought so.

Watching the livestream on a tablet and using her phone to translate the text.

But there was a problem, she could only use photos to translate some of the flying text on the screen, not Liu Xin'an's spoken words.

It's not that the translator didn't have a voice option, but because Liu Xin'an's speeches during the stream were long segments that she couldn't break down...

"What are they even talking about... Why can't he say something I can understand?"

Bae Juhyun's fair fingers poked at the cute cat on the screen, as if she could poke Liu Xin'an, who was streaming next door, in this way.

After watching quietly for a while, Bae Juhyun put down her phone, which she had been using to constantly take translation photos.

Well... most of the flying text turned out to be meaningless words, like "husband supermarket me," which made no sense to her even after translation.

She understood "husband," and she understood "supermarket," but what did they mean together?

Was it... going to the supermarket with her husband?

This just showcased the profound Chinese language culture.

However, translating a lot also made her gradually aware of one thing.

Some specially highlighted text would be marked out.

It was obvious that this different speaking style was paid content.

Sure enough, with the help of the omnipotent internet, Bae Juhyun found out about this feature.

SC, or super chat, which is a paid message.

Liu Xin'an also mentioned "SC" occasionally during the live stream; although she didn't understand Chinese, she could catch some English letters.

The girl blinked her eyes, and a bold idea suddenly sprang up in her mind.

After all, it was over the internet, and Liu Xin'an could never guess that the person leaving paid messages in the stream would be her!

But the problem was, how could she overcome the language barrier in front of her?

Not to mention paying, she didn't even know how to top up credits!

This time, the omnipotent internet didn't give her an answer.

Trying to understand incredibly complex Chinese by herself was too difficult.

Fortunately, besides being beautiful, she also had connections!

Although she didn't know many people, she still had quite a few colleagues in the same company.

And some of them were from China.

Like senior Victoria, or the recently debuted junior, Vivian Ning.

Although they hadn't interacted much, as seniors and juniors in the same company, she had spoken to them and exchanged contacts.

However, before contacting them, Bae Juhyun pondered for a while, pursing her lips.

The main issue was how to explain to Vivian Ning.

Why was she, a local artist, suddenly watching a Chinese person's livestream, someone she had no direct connection with?

And even wanted to pay for a message?

If it were someone she knew well, she could trust them to keep her secret.

But for someone like Vivian Ning, whom she had only met a few times...

Bae Juhyun thought for a bit and ultimately gave up.

It could get messy if things blew up, so instead of acting on a hot-headed impulse, she quickly calmed down.

The livestream was still ongoing, but Bae Juhyun's attention wasn't fully on it anymore.

The girl hummed lightly, closed the livestream on her phone, then leaned back on the sofa.

Without Liu Xin'an's voice, the living room suddenly became dead silent.

Even with the lights on, she still felt a helpless sensation enveloping her.

This feeling was very familiar to her, as she had lived in such an atmosphere during the difficult times.

After lying quietly for a while, Bae Juhyun sat up and gently stroked her flat stomach.

Of course, she had no abs, as she couldn't manage daily workouts; not gaining weight was her only commitment.

Time for dinner~

It was dinner time again.

Bae Juhyun took out her phone, browsing through her favorite takeout options, but after a long time, she still couldn't decide.

She had gone to the company for practice in the afternoon, so she was really hungry now.

Unable to make up her mind, she opened her tablet again, letting Liu Xin'an's voice fill the living room once more.

This time she felt more at ease and could settle down to choose her meal.

She treated Liu Xin'an's livestream voice as white noise.

But soon, something frustrating happened again.

Liu Xin'an's voice came to an abrupt stop.

And the screen showing the game instantly blacked out.

At first, Bae Juhyun thought it was her connection lagging, but seeing the text still scrolling across the screen, she quickly realized that it seemed Liu Xin'an had ended the stream.

A sense of grievance replaced her anger, making her eyes tear up.

In this kind of atmosphere, she was already prone to pessimism, and now the only voice that gave her a sense of security had disappeared too.

She pursed her pink lips, both aggrieved and angry, poking at the screen. The crisp sound of her nails tapping the screen didn't interrupt her actions; she kept poking forcefully.

Until a "Ding~" sounded.

Bae Juhyun picked up her phone lying beside her, her pretty but slightly red eyes widening.

She quickly opened the chat window and saw a message from Liu Xin'an.

"Want to grab a bite together?"

Bae Juhyun blinked, seemingly to confirm whether she was hallucinating.

And in that blink, another new message popped up after the previous one.

"This time no alcohol for you!"
