Soon, Liu Xin'an had two more friends on WeChat.

Liu Xin'an wasn't completely unfamiliar with these two. He had met one of them, called Li Yuanjun, during the Top 100 scene. The lifestyle content creators were all very social. At that time, he hadn't transitioned from social anxiety to being outgoing like Bae Juhyun yet, so he and this Li Yuanjun were just acquaintances who nodded at each other.

But after all, they're all YouTubers, so when the friend request got accepted, Liu Xin'an proactively sent over an emoji.

[Hello.jpg]

Oh, of course, the other person known as Yu Ge was completely unknown to Liu Xin'an.

Hmm... he had to send an emoji for that too.

Yu Ge didn't reply, but Li Yuanjun responded quickly.

[Xin'an, I'm with Yu Ge, can we directly make a voice call?]

It's around nine in the morning, but in domestic time... it should be around eight in the morning.

Pretty early.

[Sure]

As soon as Liu Xin'an replied, the voice call came through.

Since Liu Xin'an knew about the [Freeloading Challenge], he certainly knew that once this call connected, they would start live recording over there.

Of course, they wouldn't post the video without his consent, so most likely, they'd tell him afterward.

"Xin'an?"

A cautious male voice came from the other side of the phone. Liu Xin'an laughed heartily, "Long time no see, Li Yuanjun."

"Indeed, it's been two or three years. We're recording now, is that alright?"

"Ah, of course, it's fine. Are you thinking of coming over to my place for a meal?"

"Exactly, is it convenient for you? With your current popularity, it feels like a waste not to hop on the bandwagon!"

"Is it okay to find me? I've complained about you guys during my livestreams."

Liu Xin'an raised an eyebrow, directly asking the most crucial question.

Social intelligence is something YouTubers usually don't lack.

Everyone started small as YouTubers and grew step by step, so facing contradictions wasn't that big of a deal.

"Of course, it's not a problem. After all, we just want to ride your current wave of popularity, hahaha."

The mischievous laughs and jokes made Liu Xin'an shake his head with a faint smile. He didn't continue to address this topic, but pointed out the real-world distance issue.

"Well... you probably know I'm not in the country right now, right? So... how to hop on?"

"No problem, we'll just fly over!"

"What? Is it necessary?"

"There are many fans on the platform curious about your daily life, Xin'an. We really want the first taste of the cake."

"And besides... hahaha, we might catch Irene on camera too."

"Woohoo!"

The two on the other end of the call naturally revealed another one of their intentions.

Liu Xin'an's popularity was high, and being Liu Xin'an's girlfriend, Bae Juhyun's popularity was also high.

After all, people joked about Liu Xin'an being a pioneer in teasing Korean celebrities...

He went to Korea and brought back an extremely beautiful actress from there.

What's more outrageous than that?

Unfortunately...

"Ah, that's unlikely. She's currently in Europe, busy there for a while."

"No problem, filming you is fine, Xin'an. You're at the top!"

"Hmm..." Liu Xin'an pretended to ponder, his indecisive tone making the two on the call nervous.

Thankfully, Liu Xin'an eventually didn't intentionally keep them in suspense.

"Sure, let me know in advance if you come over, and I'll pick you up."

(Not going to write something bad, it's quite brief, don't worry)

"Oh!! You really agreed?"

"I agreed."

"By agreeing to us, you are going against your own word!"

"No problem, which YouTuber hasn't contradicted themselves? Old E once said he didn't like doing variety shows, yet he had a great time with Feifei!"

This was internal information, but soon, the second season of "YouTuber's Summer" would start airing. It's a variety show created by the platform with popular YouTubers as guests.

Old E was a guest in the first season, and this second season, not only did he come back, he brought Feifei along too.

This left Sanren, who attended both seasons, feeling a bit exasperated.

He went solo in the first season, while in the second season, he brought his wife.

As for Sanren?

He delivered the memorable line "I want to date" in the first season, and in the second season... he's still single!

By the way, the platform also approached Liu Xin'an, wanting him and Bae Juhyun to appear together...

And Liu Xin'an directly declined on the spot.

At that time, Bae Juhyun was busy shooting her group show domestically, not having enough time for it.

Contradict yourself? So be it, it's all for the show's effect.

If someone tried to use this against Liu Xin'an, he'd just laugh with a full wallet and a playful smile.

One must say, ever since Liu Xin'an started dating Bae Juhyun, he went from a sincere big boy to an occasional cunning man...

Making money isn't a shame.

However, there was another reason he agreed to this shooting.

And that was...

It happened to be an "Observational Variety Show."

Lee Yeonju analyzed his basic footprint and advantages in Korea today, concluding that the show would perform well in Korea.

But in his home country... due to the lack of sufficient data, Lee Yeonju couldn't help him make conclusions, and even Liu Xin'an himself was unsure about these things.
