Peninsula: I, who was originally a camera, suddenly became an internet sensation.

Chapter 29 Live Broadcast

Upon arriving home, Li Yuan went straight into the study and took his laptop out of his suitcase.

He didn't bring his desktop computer; it was too heavy. Besides, he was already exhausted from carrying so many bags and packages while moving, and he really didn't want to deal with a lump of metal.

Previously, when I was on business trips, I would usually use my laptop to do live streams. The video quality was barely acceptable, and the sound wasn't too bad either.

He plans to assemble a high-spec desktop computer here after his permanent stay in South Korea, leaving his old one in Beijing to gather dust.

Fortunately, the internet here was already set up when Huang Lizhi checked in, saving him the trouble of going back and forth.

"Oppa, are you going to do a live stream?" Hwang Ye-ji leaned against the study door, watching Lee Won tidy up the wires under the table with a curious look.

"Yeah, I promised those bastards... my viewers." Li Yuan didn't even look up, his tone tinged with helplessness. "They're practically bombarding me with messages."

The group chat has been getting 999+ messages every day for the past two days, with everyone discussing whether the male protagonist in that video is actually Li Yuan.

Fortunately, Li Yuan decided not to hide it any longer.

"Then I'll go prepare something for Oppa to eat!" Hwang Ye-ji's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of a good idea.

She remembered a scene from a TV series where, when a man is working, his... well... female friends would prepare snacks and fruit platters for him, and luckily there was some fruit in the fridge.

"No..." Before Li Yuan could finish speaking, Huang Lizhi had already skipped and hopped away.

What's with the food you're preparing so late at night?

He casually tagged all the members in the group and sent two words: "Start streaming." Then, ignoring the wailing and screaming reactions in the group, he directly opened the live streaming software.

Anyway, we'll deal with any problems after the show starts airing.

As soon as Li Yuan's voice came out after the live stream was launched, the chat room was instantly flooded with comments:

Is Lao Wan's video actually real?

"Old Wan, are you getting involved with a female idol too?"

"Is this because of our Sister Qian?"

"SM blogger, who told you to touch me like that!" This seems to be a fan of Bae Joo-hyun.

"Yes, that person is me." Li Yuan opened QQ Music, started playing "What is Love?", and replied to the comments, "Since you guys found out, I won't hide it anymore. Actually, we were together in our past lives..."

This can also be considered promotion for TWICE, so when I see Sana Minatozaki, I can say something about it.

She ate my QQ candy when I left last time, and she's been holding a grudge ever since.

The screen was then filled with questions and comments like "Get lost!"

Anyone who has watched Li Yuan's live streams knows that when he says something like that, he's usually just bragging.

"Alright, alright, that's enough bragging." This time, Li Yuan unusually stopped bragging and became more serious. "This collaboration with Red Baby was entirely pre-arranged with their company."

"Of course, that video isn't it."

"Is it about the collaboration we discussed before?"

"Our Red Velvet is doing well now, and they can record shows together with the old man."

"I went backstage that day to discuss the photoshoot with their manager," Li Yuan said casually. "The makeup artist's assistant was busy with something else, so I just casually pinned that big red flower on her. Who would have thought I'd be photographed like that?"

That tone makes it seem like it really is true.

The screen was flooded with comments like "So that's how it is," "I knew Lao Wan would never be able to snag a rich woman," and "We got all excited for nothing."

Some people even pressed for the specific timing of the collaboration, seeming quite eager.

"It should be soon. I'll go to SM Entertainment in the next couple of days to finalize the details," Li Yuan replied casually, glancing at the comments. "I'll post an update once it's confirmed, so just wait and see."

"Now, let's start gossiping."

This is a staple of Li Yuan's live streams and the segment that viewers look forward to the most.

The so-called "gossip time" is a segment where he can freely boast and talk nonsense about K-pop, saying whatever is outrageous.

Li Yuan picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip to moisten his throat, and was preparing to begin today's performance.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Knock knock knock.

Huang Lizhi, standing outside the door, remained silent, presumably worried about disturbing Li Yuan's live stream, so he chose the safest approach—knocking on the door first and waiting for a response.

"Brothers, wait a minute, I'm going to get something," Li Yuan said into the microphone, then expertly muted his voice.

"Why is there a knocking sound?"

"Is Lao Wan keeping a mistress?"

"Why can't it be 'hiding a man in a silver house'? Your thinking is too narrow."

"How disgusting!"

While the comments section was buzzing with excitement, Li Yuan had already reached the doorway on this side.

He opened the door, and Huang Lizhi was standing outside holding a small fruit platter.

She carefully held the plate, her fox-like eyes fixed on Li Yuan, a hint of nervousness in them.

"Did I disturb you, Oppa?"

"No." Li Yuan shook his head, took the fruit plate, and said, "The live stream has just started, you've come at the perfect time."

"Can I go in and take a look?" Huang Lizhi's eyes lit up, then he quickly added, "I promise I'll behave and not cause any trouble!"

As she spoke, she freed her left hand, raised it, and began to swear.

"Hmm... then come in. It's really nothing," Li Yuan said. "I speak Chinese, which you wouldn't understand anyway."

"It's okay, I can learn." After receiving permission, Huang Lizhi immediately tiptoed into the study and placed the fruit plate on the table.

Its cautious manner was quite like that of a kitten.

Li Yuan turned the microphone back on.

"Here I am," he said into the microphone.

The live chat exploded again, with everyone asking who the person who knocked on the door was, why he opened it, and whether there was really a girl hiding in the house.

"She's an absolute stunner," Li Yuan joked, looking at Huang Lizhi. "She came to take care of me, and she's so gentle and virtuous, you couldn't find a woman like her even with a lantern."

The comments section was filled with "I don't believe it," "Dream on," "They're making things up again," and "Old Wan, if you're so capable, make her say something."

Nobody took it seriously, because in their minds, all of Li Yuan's descriptions of "beautiful women" were fabricated.

"Actually, I ordered takeout." Seeing that no one believed him, Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. "I ordered a fruit platter, which the deliveryman just brought over."

The viewers in the live chat actually believed it this time. After all, "ordering takeout" is much more reasonable than "a super beautiful woman taking care of him."

Looking at the comments on the screen such as "I knew it," "Old Wan, you're just bragging," and "A deliveryman can be called a super beauty? Have you never seen a woman before?", Li Yuan was at a loss for words.

How did I become like this?

No one will believe you if you tell the truth; you have to lie to them. What kind of situation is this?
