Chapter 80

"Why do you want to hold your birthday party at my place? Isn't your dad a famous actor? Wouldn't it be better to have it at your own home?" Li Huanle, who was just about to start practicing his dance, felt a bit puzzled when he heard the doorbell ring in the living room. When he saw Quan Baolan through the monitor, he became even more confused. Why did this cute girl come here?

Quan Baolan, wearing a white coat and jeans, looked as innocent and adorable as ever. Hearing Li Huanle's words, she immediately put on a cute act: "Please help me! I've already told my friends, I just need to borrow your place for one day. I'll clean up after the party, and your garden is so big, I want to have a BBQ, that's why I thought of coming to you. I really can't find any other place right now!"

Looking at Quan Baolan's big, blinking eyes, Li Huanle was speechless. This girl was really getting better at being cute.

"Can't find a place? I think you're just being deliberate. Coming to me on the last day, do you think I'm an idiot? If it weren't for the fact that you're getting another year older tomorrow, I'd show you what an uncle can do!" Li Huanle casually pressed the remote control, still sounding annoyed.

Thinking about it, if she really wanted to have a birthday party, why would she only start looking for a venue on the last day? Li Huanle wasn't an idiot; he saw through Quan Baolan's childish trick right away.

Quan Baolan's face turned a bit red at this. In fact, she had wanted to call Li Huanle earlier, but she wasn't afraid to ask; she was afraid of being rejected, which would be embarrassing. So she decided to try on the last day, and if it didn't work, she would just have the party at her own place. It wouldn't be as good, but it would be enough, as she hadn't invited many friends anyway.

But she didn't expect her brilliant plan to be seen through by Li Huanle. This guy was pretty smart.

...

Luckily, Quan Baolan didn't reveal her thoughts, or Li Huanle might have bled to death.

When she heard Li Huanle call himself an "uncle," Quan Baolan's expression changed, and she said unhappily, "If you don't want to, that's fine. Don't forget how hard I worked to help you recently. After the show, you just ignored us, not even a call. You call that a friend... Humph!"

Uh...

Hearing Quan Baolan's words, Li Huanle couldn't stay angry, so...

"Where's Zhi Xian? Why isn't she with you today?"

"Li Stinky Mouth, don't try to change the subject!"

"Haha, the weather today is... pretty bad. It's supposed to rain tomorrow, so your BBQ might not happen!" Li Huanle said with a grin.

Quan Baolan turned to look at the sky outside the living room, which was indeed overcast. But just because it was cloudy, it didn't mean she couldn't have a birthday party, and what if it didn't rain?

"Just one word, will you lend it to me or not?" Quan Baolan cut to the chase.

Li Huanle turned and asked curiously, "If I say no, will you break up with me?"

"Humph, do you really want to break up with me?" Quan Baolan's face darkened, and she asked unhappily.

Li Huanle grinned mischievously, "Of course not. How about this: if you call me 'Uncle Huanle,' I'll agree, and I'll help prepare everything. You just need to bring the food and drinks!"

"Who would call you 'uncle'? You're only a few months younger than me!!" Quan Baolan shouted, her anger and frustration momentarily forgotten.

"Then how about this: if you call me 'Oni-sama,' I'll agree!"

"Why don't you just die!"

"Then call me 'Goxujingshama.'"

"What does that mean?"

"It means 'big handsome guy'!"

"You're a big handsome guy?"

"Just one word, will you call me or not? If not, don't blame me!"

Seeing Quan Baolan seemingly hooked, Li Huanle pretended to be indifferent.

Quan Baolan thought for a moment and decided that calling him a "big handsome guy" wasn't too bad, much better than calling him "uncle."

After silently cursing him a few times for being conceited and ugly, Quan Baolan said, "Goxujingshama! Are you satisfied now?"

"Haha, very satisfied, extremely satisfied. I'll prepare everything for tomorrow. Just bring the decorations, balloons, and food. I'll even throw in a cake for you. By the way, do you want to know what 'Goxujingshama' really means?" Li Huanle laughed, looking very happy.

Quan Baolan was stunned and asked, "Isn't it 'big handsome guy'?"

"Haha, it means 'master.' Do you want to be my little maid?"

"Damn Li Huanle, go to hell!!!"

"Don't go, don't go! 'Starking' is about to start, let's watch it together!"

...

An hour later, 'Starking' began. Due to the preview from the previous episode, this episode received a lot of attention. During the time when 'Cute Song' was very popular, 'Happy Musician' hadn't released any new works, and many netizens left comments on the video and Li Huanle's video space, hoping he would upload new works. They really liked his music.

Quan Baolan's 'Cute Song' was indeed very popular, and many artists were imitating it on TV. What surprised Li Huanle was that many companies were trying to contact him.

However, Li Huanle wasn't in a hurry. After today's episode aired, he believed he would be recognized as a true creator by both the public and the industry.

And Li Huanle was right, but he didn't expect...

...

"Brother Hu Dong, I'm so tired. Can't I just sleep?"

Yin Zhiyuan, who had just finished two days of filming on Daizuo Island, said unhappily from the limousine.

'Two Days One Night' is a TV variety show produced by KBS, with the aim of "realistically experiencing the wild and exploring beautiful places in Korea." After a rocky start, it successfully became a household name in Korea in 2008 and is currently one of the most popular shows.

After the departure and military service of some members, the current regular cast members are: Jiang Hu Dong, MC Mong, Li Xiugen, Yin Zhiyuan, Jin C, and Li Shengji.

The few who had just finished filming were sitting in the car, heading back to Seoul, exhausted. Due to Jiang Hu Dong's special request, he called Yin Zhiyuan, MC Mong, Jin C, and Li Xiugen together.

As for Li Shengji, who is very popular, he had many commitments and immediately rushed to the airport after filming to attend to them.

"Brother Hu Dong, didn't I say I would participate if you asked me? Why do I have to watch a show?" MC Mong, with a face like a monkey, yawned and said, looking extremely tired.

Jin C, Li Xiugen, and Yin Zhiyuan had similar thoughts. Jiang Hu Dong had told them about something last night, and all four had agreed without any worries, trusting that Jiang Hu Dong wouldn't let them down.

However, Jiang Hu Dong's mood wasn't great. Last night, Li Shengji hadn't given a direct answer, saying he needed to check his schedule with his agent. Jiang Hu Dong understood, as a dual-artist's schedule is often busy, and it's normal to be unavailable.

But this morning, when Li Shengji's agent told him that Li Shengji couldn't make it, Jiang Hu Dong, though he smiled and said it was fine, still felt a bit disappointed.

It was mainly because he had promised that guy, and now with one person missing, it was a bit embarrassing. But Jiang Hu Dong was glad he hadn't made a firm commitment, or it would have been a real problem.
