Actually, the water friends' guesses weren't wrong; the real bond between YUQI and Bae Juhyun... was indeed because of him.

In fact, the two of them have only gotten close in the last six months.

Domestic programs? That was all stuff from over a year ago.

But just as the water friends said.

This is Bae Juhyun's personal variety show, and most of the people watching it are fans who like Bae Juhyun.

Perhaps some of his fans tagged along out of admiration, but ultimately, to those fans, he's someone they prefer not to mention.

YUQI is very smart here; she knows exactly what to say and what not to say, so she gives an extremely appropriate response.

[After all, YUQI]

[After all, YUQI]

[What kind of image does YUQI's brother have in everyone's hearts?]

[When can we see YUQI in the live stream room?]

[Yeah! Can't Xin'an invite YUQI to join the live stream?!]

These bullet comments left Liu Xin'an speechless, but before he could respond, the phone he placed on the table started vibrating.

At this time, it obviously wouldn't be Bae Juhyun; she's currently being interviewed by a fashion magazine due to a last-minute schedule.

And the timing of this vibration was so precise...

Liu Xin'an seemed to have an inkling about the identity of the person sending the message.

After casually glancing at it, he chuckled lightly.

Sure enough, it was YUQI who sent it.

How could YUQI, who loves to join in the fun, possibly miss such an interesting live stream reaction?

Besides, it was also part of her own show.

"Do you want to invite me to live stream together? I can give you a friendly price."

"Can you play games?"

Liu Xin'an swore he was just asking normally, but it seemed that YUQI on the other end of the call heard it as a taunt.

"Who are you looking down on?! Whenever Irene is at home, I'll come over and stream with you!!"

Bae Juhyun knew she was being questioned by fans about her cooking skills, so she chose to prove herself.

Of course, YUQI couldn't stand having her gaming skills questioned.

Even if she was angry, YUQI still remembered her bounds.

YUQI knew about Bae Juhyun's trip to Europe, and she certainly wouldn't choose to go visit Liu Xin'an when Bae Juhyun wasn't home. That would be... awkward.

"Don't, don't, if you have anything to promote, just come over, but make sure to get plenty of rest usually."

"Don't reply yet, everyone's waiting for the video in the live stream room, just keep playing the video."

Liu Xin'an was focused on replying to YUQI's WeChat, and he even forgot to resume the video.

Luckily, YUQI noticed everyone's eagerness in the live stream room and promptly reminded Liu Xin'an.

Seeing this message, Liu Xin'an suddenly realized, and he hit the space bar to resume the video.

Then he flashed an awkward smile and turned off the camera.

"Ahem, keep watching, just lost focus for a bit."

[No wonder, it's you, Xin'an brother]

...

The interview didn't last long, mainly because Bae Juhyun's sweet and sour pork turned out much better than the production team expected.

While preparing for this episode, the show thoughtfully rated the difficulty of several candidate recipes.

And the "sweet and sour pork" Bae Juhyun ended up with happened to be one of the most difficult dishes.

Bae Juhyun's cooking skills... compared to those who know nothing about cooking, she knows a little.

But it's just a little.

Lee Yeonju... or maybe the whole production team, never expected Bae Juhyun's cooking skills to improve so much in two years.

This complicated Chinese dish didn't seem to faze Bae Juhyun at all.

As the sweet and sour pork was served from the pot, its tangy smell grabbed YUQI's attention. She instinctively stood up, glanced back at Bae Juhyun, then hurriedly turned back, looking at Lee Yeonju with eager eyes.

The urgent message in her eyes was received by Lee Yeonju, who helplessly nodded and indicated that YUQI could leave.

Only then did YUQI stride over to Bae Juhyun's side in a few big steps, protecting her hair as she leaned over the plate, admiring the delicious-looking sweet and sour pork.

"Was this really made by Irene?"

Bae Juhyun tried to put on a nonchalant face, but the slight curl of her lips betrayed her pride.

"I'd even believe you if you said you ordered this as takeout while I was being interviewed!"

"Hehe, how does it look?"

"How does it look? It's exactly like what I had at home, the aroma is absolutely amazing!"

YUQI was unabashed in her praise, her thumbs raised high in admiration, making Bae Juhyun feel elated.

Quick! That's exactly the kind of praise she deserves!

Both in appearance and aroma, this sweet and sour pork was mouthwatering.

As for the taste...

YUQI swallowed nervously before eagerly picking up a pair of chopsticks.

Respecting the local customs in Korea, she spoke in a bubbly and expectant tone before taking a bite, "It'll be so delicious, sumida~"

"Nae~ Please enjoy."

Bae Juhyun played along with a smile.

YUQI picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork, blew away the heat gently, and slowly took a bite.

The crispy coating provided a great texture, and the burst of sweet and sour flavor made her eyes widen in surprise.
