Peninsula: My Top-Tier Landlord

Chapter 78: Happy New Year

After the live stream ended that evening, Ye Fan received another call from Bae Joo-hyun, and they continued talking on the phone until he fell asleep.

On New Year's Eve, Ye Fan didn't go anywhere. After waking up, he ordered takeout, sat in front of his computer, logged into Bilibili, and watched some reaction videos while eating.

The tokusatsu shows of the past two years have been getting worse and worse. Ye Fan has lost all interest in watching them. This year's Kamen Rider series was so bad that he couldn't even finish watching the beginning.

Inside the supermarket, Bae Joo-hyun and her two friends, wearing masks and sunglasses, strolled around the mall, enjoying the New Year's atmosphere and buying some local specialties and gifts to take home.

But as they wandered around, Bae Joo-hyun stopped in front of a shop window, and Kang Seul-gi and Son Seung-wan saw that it was another collection of figurines!

Both of them were speechless. Kang Seulgi said with a strange expression, "Unnie, you're not going to buy it again, are you?"

I just gave her one for Christmas a few days ago. Are you thinking of buying her another one as a New Year's gift?

"Unnie, is there enough room in your suitcase?" Son Seungwan also chimed in, saying that they still needed to buy other things later, and the packaging box was so big and took up a lot of space.

"Besides, it's not like we don't have them in China. We can just buy them when we get back."

"I'm just looking, that's all." Bae Joo-hyun coughed awkwardly. She was thinking of bringing Ye Fan a gift, but she didn't know what to bring. The only thing that came to her mind was a figurine.

"Unnie, do you know anything about these?" Kang Seulgi pointed to the hero figurines.

These tokusatsu heroes are ones I watched when I was a kid, and they're different from the ones I watched when I was a kid.

"I don't know much about it. I watched it when I was a kid, but he liked it, so I gave it to him. Besides, I have more time now, so I can learn about it when I have free time. That way, we'll have something in common to talk about," Bae Joo-hyun said with a smile.

"hiss……"

A woman in love.

Son Seungwan and Kang Seulgi exchanged a glance, their eyes so sweet it made their teeth ache.

"Unnie, your brother-in-law would be so happy if he heard what you just said," Kang Seulgi said.

"Yeah, but I saw related topics online before. This circle is arguing quite a bit. Unnie, what if you end up arguing with your brother-in-law because of this..." Son Seungwan imagined the scene.

Kang Seulgi chuckled, her shoulders twitching as she imagined the scene.

"Ye Fan isn't that kind of person." Bae Joo-hyun glanced at them speechlessly. Why would they argue over something like this?

Ignoring the two of them, Bae Joo-hyun headed towards the clothing section to look at some clothes.

Bae Joo-hyun was right; Ye Fan was indeed not that kind of person. He just liked to watch, and at this moment he was enjoying watching the flame war in the comments section. He had been sitting in front of the computer all morning.

Ye Fan's phone vibrated a few times. He picked it up and saw that it was a message from Bae Joo-hyun. It contained many photos, including pictures of her trying on clothes and photos from the figurine section, sharing her daily life.

After replying with a few words of praise, Ye Fan also sent a picture of the computer screen.

"What are you doing?" Bae Joo-hyun zoomed in on the picture; it was all in Chinese and very small, so she couldn't understand it.

"I've been watching the argument in the comments section for over an hour now."

Bae Joo-hyun was taken aback for a moment, then asked for the details. Her lips twitched; they had just been talking about this topic. Fortunately, Ye Fan only liked to watch.

"But you watched for an hour?"

"Hmm, this is interesting. Time flies by as I read it." Ye Fan replied with an emoji. He had been reading a comment with 500 replies for almost half an hour.

The main problem is that none of them are willing to admit defeat, and each of them is looking for evidence to prove that what they are saying is true, just like a debate, which is quite interesting.

Bae Joo-hyun didn't understand any of this, but seeing that Ye Fan had more free time, she sent him more messages and chatted with him until 5 p.m., when they had to rehearse for the stage.

Ye Fan quickly stir-fried two dishes and brought them to his computer desk to eat. Douyin (TikTok) was currently pushing many videos of people toasting with Leonardo DiCaprio on screen during the New Year's Eve celebrations.

Ye Fan found a show to watch while eating and watched it until 8 o'clock. He then picked up his phone and sent Bae Joo-hyun a message of encouragement. He also opened his live streaming app and started his live stream for the night.

Half an hour after the broadcast started, the number of viewers in the live stream exceeded 1000, the first time it had broken the four-digit mark. Ye Fan was surprised; there were more people than usual today. It was truly unexpected. It seemed that there were still quite a few people without company or activities.

In the live stream, fans and viewers would occasionally send small gifts, sing songs, connect with a few people for a PK battle, and do some punishments. The live stream lasted for more than 3 hours.

As soon as it turned 12 o'clock, the sound of fireworks could be heard outside, and New Year's greetings floated on the screen.

After exchanging a few words of blessing with his fans, Ye Fan ended the broadcast. He had been sitting in front of the computer for almost a day and was a little tired.

After shutting down his computer and picking up his phone to reply to messages from his friends, Ye Fan found Bae Joo-hyun's chat window and sent her a New Year's greeting.

At this time, she should still be busy. On days like this and for performances, the organizers would usually hold banquets to entertain the guests, right?

After taking a shower and returning to his room, Ye Fan lay on the bed and read a novel for a while. Just as he was about to lock the screen to rest around 1 a.m., the screen switched to caller ID.

"Feed?"

"I thought you were asleep."

As soon as the call connected, Bae Joo-hyun's beautiful voice came through the receiver.

A faint smile played on Ye Fan's lips as he replied, "I was just about to go to sleep. Are you done with your work?"

"Yeah, I just got back to the hotel. Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year."

"Brother-in-law, Happy New Year! At the dinner party, Unnie just ate a few bites and then rushed us back. I was just thinking of calling you because I'm still hungry!" Kang Seulgi's voice came through the phone.

"Yeah, I'm so anxious~ We've missed the big meal, so now we can only buy some snacks to have a drink at the hotel. Brother-in-law, you have to make it up to us when we get back to Seoul." Son Seungwan chimed in, complaining about her older sister.

However, both of them spoke with smiles, so it seemed like they were just joking around.

They had attended countless banquets like this, and since they didn't know anyone in the city, it was awkward to stay there. They also wanted to avoid being approached by men, so they just ate a couple of bites and came back.

"Also, the two of us have kept a close eye on your unnie, so no one has tried to chat her up."

After Son Seungwan finished speaking, Kang Seulgi added a sentence, then raised her eyebrows at Bae Joohyun to claim credit, but only received a coquettish glare from Bae Joohyun.

Why should Ye Fan treat us?

"Sure, I'll treat you to dinner when you get back."

Hearing Ye Fan's answer, Bae Joo-hyun was pleasantly surprised. Didn't that mean...?

Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan covered their mouths and chuckled, gently bumping their shoulders against their older sister.
