A single episode of the program wasn't too long, but after watching it, the thing that impressed Liu Xin'an the most... was that Kim Heechul surprisingly liked watching domestic TV dramas...

———

The new show's plan doesn't need to be prepared right away in the next couple of days, so the first thing Liu Xin'an did after waking up the next morning was to video call his girlfriend.

After a night of flying, Bae Juhyun arrived in Paris smoothly.

This is the first stop of their trip to Europe.

The time in Seoul is a full eight hours ahead of Paris, so while it's 7 AM for Liu Xin'an here, it's only 11 PM over there in Paris.

Ah, of course, Bae Juhyun definitely hasn't adjusted to the time difference yet, and she is quite energetic at the moment.

The video call was quickly connected, as Bae Juhyun also knew that this was usually the time Liu Xin'an wakes up.

Soon, the absolutely beautiful woman with flowing long hair, a slightly flushed face, and a smile on her face appeared on the phone screen.

Opposite her in the top right corner of the screen was a handsome but lazy man lying in bed, with messy hair that couldn't conceal his charm.

Upon seeing Liu Xin'an in this state, Bae Juhyun hurriedly stopped Kim Yerin beside her from staring curiously, then opened her cherry lips slightly to gently scold the man who hadn't been awake for long.

"Hey, why aren't you up yet."

"I called you as soon as I woke up; your attitude isn't good."

"Come on, did you sleep well?"

"Mm." Liu Xin'an yawned, casually placed the phone aside, and didn't appear in the frame.

"Can't see you now, what are you doing?"

"Stretching, getting ready to get up."

"Really, I thought you'd wait for me to land and then contact me! Jerk!"

"Hey, hey, who's the one who specifically reminded me not to wait for certain people to land before leaving?"

"I forgot!"

Bae Juhyun's righteous response left Liu Xin'an speechless, as he slightly loosened his stiff body and casually ran his hands through his hair to make himself look more energetic. He then put on a T-shirt and reappeared on screen.

"Are you eating something?"

"Well, being in Paris, I have to try the local cuisine. It's only 11 PM here, the outside is beautiful."

Bae Juhyun walked to the window with her phone, showing Liu Xin'an the night view of Paris.

Beautiful indeed it was, but to Liu Xin'an...

"The night view of Paris isn't as beautiful as you~"

"I'm going to puke, I'm going to puke!"

Before Bae Juhyun could shyly respond, Son Seungwan chimed in with her loud complaints.

Bae Juhyun's sister's untimely teasing broke the warm atmosphere surrounding the couple, and Bae Juhyun glared at her sister irritably but didn't say anything, considering she was the one treating them to this big meal.

"By the way, Xin'an, you know French, right?"

"Haven't used it for many years, not sure how good it is now. Why, do you need me to translate something for you?"

"No, just thinking if you were here, we could go out and explore."

Bae Juhyun feigned sorrow, accusing Liu Xin'an of the "crime" of not accompanying her to Europe.

To this, Liu Xin'an showed a doting expression: "Aren't you there for work? I'll take you when you have a break."

"Really?"

"Mm."

"Hehe, you better go wash up, we'll continue eating, bye-bye~"

"Bye-bye."

...

Seeing such a stunningly beautiful lady early in the morning is definitely something that brings a heartfelt sense of satisfaction.

After freshening up thoroughly, Liu Xin'an chatted leisurely with Bae Juhyun while enjoying his breakfast.

However, it wasn't long before the time difference issue became apparent.

After enjoying the meal treated by Son Seungwan, Bae Juhyun started to feel sleepy.

She had slept for a long time on the plane, but there were occasional bumps, and she is quite particular about her environment.

Once the excitement of arriving in Paris faded, fatigue overtook her.

After saying goodnight to Liu Xin'an, she peacefully drifted into slumber more than an hour after Liu Xin'an woke up.

Meanwhile, Liu Xin'an took a seat in his live streaming room, scrolling the mouse and checking out recent gaming news and various interesting happenings.

Just as he was getting into it, his phone vibrated on the table with a "buzz".

Instinctively glancing over, it was a WeChat message, and the sender...

[Old Tomato] caught his attention, someone he knew, but they hadn't contacted in a while.

Old Tomato's message was straightforward.

"Is it convenient, Anzi bro?"

Liu Xin'an logged onto WeChat on his computer, skillfully responding with the keyboard.

"Convenient, what's up?"

"Rain bro and Liyuanjun asked me to contact you and see if you'd be up for a meal challenge."

Seeing this message, Liu Xin'an was slightly taken aback.

The "meal challenge" has quite some buzz on Bilibili; simply put, it's where the content creators [Rainbro] and [Liyuanjun] visit high-profile users' homes, have a meal, and shoot a lifestyle video.

In a sense, it's similar to the "observational variety show" that Lee Yeonju mentioned yesterday.

However, Liu Xin'an hadn't expected these two to reach out to him.

Thanks to Old Tomato's connections.

After all, he had complained during his live stream about how these lifestyle videos weren't very interesting.

If he accepts now, does that count as slapping his own face?

He didn't respond directly but replied with this sentence instead.

"Problem is, I'm not in the country. I'm abroad."

"Uh... How about I give them your WeChat so you can talk to them directly?"

Liu Xin'an pondered for a few seconds and didn't refuse.

First make contact, and as for whether to accept... it's best to decide after some thought.

"Sure, send it over. I'll add them, thanks."
