Can't help with the mismatched time spent together.

The next day, when Liu Xin'an woke up promptly at seven in the morning, his desire to see Bae Juhyun became even more urgent.

Today, he needed to go to the airport to pick up Rain and Lywon, his guests. After completing the filming, he planned to visit his future mother-in-law's house tomorrow and take a group photo with Juhyun's family.

This was the prop he would use to bluff Bae Juhyun on the plane, as it was one of the main props for this surprise segment.

After a brief review of his day's itinerary in his mind, Liu Xin'an got up, freshened up, exercised, and had breakfast.

Then he drove to the airport.

He was somewhat known, and since Bae Juhyun's variety show had just aired its second episode yesterday, both he and Bae Juhyun were currently in a hot state.

Don't ask why Bae Juhyun's show didn't mention him, yet he's appearing on various hot search lists.

I can only say... these marketing accounts seem to make no money without him.

In this regard, marketing accounts are the same both domestically and abroad.

The two guests didn't keep Liu Xin'an waiting for long; soon after, his phone rang.

"Look to the right when you exit the airport; I'll see you and get out to wave and greet you."

"We won't be recognized, will we? You're an entertainer here, Xin'an!"

Lywon's nervous inquiry made Liu Xin'an laugh.

"I'm not an entertainer, at most just riding the wave of popularity."

"We thought we'd see you surrounded by crazy fans once we got off the plane, but maybe we were overthinking it."

"No way."

As he spoke, Liu Xin'an carefully observed the airport entrance.

Finally, Rain's highly recognizable figure came into view, and Liu Xin'an rolled down the window, vigorously waved to the two, and yelled loudly, "Hey!!"

Both heard him, confirmed that it was indeed Liu Xin'an greeting them, and their eyes lit up as they hurried over.

Since they were only staying for half a day and going back in the evening, neither Rain nor Lywon brought any luggage.

Similarly, there was no one else with them.

Liu Xin'an was stunned.

"Just the two of you?"

"Yeah."

"Who else were you hoping to see?"

"Uh... usually there should be a filming team, right?"

Liu Xin'an, after all, hadn't really interacted with living area content creators. His stereotype of them was akin to a filming production team, bringing along a bunch of people and equipment...

But before him were just two people and two handheld cameras.

The lack of equipment left Liu Xin'an, who was used to formal variety show filming sites, bewildered.

"This is enough."

"You must feel that this is totally different from the programs you usually record, Xin'an."

"Hmm..." Liu Xin'an responded, then noticed the two were tense, "Why are you so nervous?"

"Uh..." Lywon and Rain exchanged a glance, then smiled awkwardly, "Honestly, it feels like there's a barrier between us."

"There's an unfortunate thick wall, right."

"Hahaha."

Liu Xin'an's humorous banter lightened the atmosphere a bit.

"The main factor is that you're way too handsome, the kind of handsome none of us old men can deny. Stand with us, and you say you're just a content creator, who'd believe it?"

With Liu Xin'an's joking around, the two relaxed a lot and began to banter naturally with him.

"Oh, I'm just a regular game area creator."

"'Regular'?"

"By 'regular,' you mean having a girlfriend like Irene?"

Anyone would see Liu Xin'an's statement as humblebragging.

And as for Liu Xin'an...

Indeed, he was humblebragging.

There's nothing wrong with admitting it!

"Is Bae still in Europe, right?"

"Yeah, she's filming in Europe."

Liu Xin'an responded, looking at the (two) guests searching for something in the rearview mirror, smiling, "What are you looking for?"

"Xin'an, has your car given a ride to Red Velvet?"

"Uh... I don't think so." Liu Xin'an pondered and shook his head.

He remembered he hadn't driven Bae Juhyun and them anywhere.

"Ah~ We thought rounding up, we'd have been on the same car as Red Velvet."

"What nonsense." Liu Xin'an couldn't help but laugh.

"You should say, round up, you're a member of Red Velvet."

"Sure! I don't mind; I love listening to their songs."

Their chatter made Liu Xin'an shake his head with a grin. Regardless of whether this so-called mooching challenge was bad content, the thing that can't be denied is that the two from the humor content sector warm up the room without the slightest feeling of awkwardness.

At least... Liu Xin'an's basic impression of them was quite good.

"The requirements are high; even I haven't joined Red Velvet."

Liu Xin'an was quite willing to play along.

"Isn't it no news that you can't sing in tune?"

"Hmm... Dancing is kind of odd too, right?"

"Hey, hey, hey." Liu Xin'an quickly retorted, straight to revealing the scars, huh!

With idle chatter along the way, Liu Xin'an took them directly to his home.

But upon arrival, they couldn't enter immediately; to maintain the sense of surprise, Rain and Lywon stopped at the door and, after confirming with Liu Xin'an, pretended they were sneaking in, went to Liu Xin'an's doorstep, and knocked on the door playfully.
