Valery turned her head to Jay and looked at him.
At this ti, there’s a certain lancholic emotion visible on his face as he looks far away.
For so reason, Valery felt that such a lancholic Jay is really attractive.
Shaking her head, Valery turned her attention back to the view in front of them.
The two of them stayed there for a few more minutes before leaving.
Since the sun is already quite high up in the sky at this ti, it feels a little prickly on the skin already.
Because of that, Jay pulled Valery sowhere with a lot of trees.
The ground is still pure dirt here and all kinds of shrubs and plants could be seen all over the place.
Looking around cautiously, Valery asked,
"Where is this, Jay?"
"Oh, this is a lot owned by my mom. It’s been neglected, that’s why it looks like this."
Up ahead, there’s a wooden bench that looks to be made roughly.
Taking a seat, Jay beckoned at Valery to take a seat beside him.
Valery took a seat while inspecting the bench.
Seeing that she looks interested, Jay smiled, "What do you think of this? Pretty good, right?"
Valery hesitated for a bit before nodding.
Noticing that mont of hesitation, Jay started laughing.
"Hahaha, I know it’s not the best. I made this when I was still young."
"Back when I was younger, I used to hang around here. Just sitting here, eating mangoes that I picked myself."
Looking up, the mangoes hanging on the mango trees appeared in his sight.
Valery followed his gaze and saw multiple mangoes on the mango trees around them.
"Ooh, there’s a lot, Jay!"
"Yeah, this is still mango season after all."
Valery nodded in understanding after hearing that.
"Would you like to eat so mango?"
Jay suddenly asked at this ti.
Valery thought for a bit before shaking her head.
"No, I’m still full right now. Maybe next ti."
Jay nodded.
Then, the two of them talked about a few things and Jay’s live stream naturally beca a topic.
Valery stared at Jay with so doubt and asked,
"By the way, why haven’t you been live streaming these past few days?"
Since Jay didn’t release any announcent to his viewers, it is natural for so people to start questioning.
After all, since the day Jay started live streaming, he did it everyday without fail.
But now, after encountering a terrorism first hand at the mall, he suddenly stopped broadcasting.
This caused a lot of people on the internet to start asking questions.
Even right at this mont, people who are wondering what happened to him could be found leaving ssages on his social dia.
So of them are asking for his well-being while others are asking him to live stream again.
Jay is aware of all of that but didn’t really take the ti to face them right now.
Because he’s worried that they’ll just start asking questions about what happened last ti.
Anyway, now that he’s being questioned by Valery in front of him, Jay didn’t really find any reason to lie.
And so, Jay told Valery why he hasn’t been live streaming.
...
"Ooh, that’s why, huh. Okay, I understand now."
After hearing his explanation, Valery expressed her understanding of the situation.
Looking thoughtful, she said,
"If you imdiately ca out, the dia and so self-dia accounts in social dia would probably pester you to let them interview you."
Jay nodded.
Actually, Jay already received a few invitations for an interview from various dia.
Starting from the biggest broadcasting company in Pearl Country, UMA, sent him a ssage just the other day asking for interviews.
For a live strear like Jay, this kind of exposure is surely a good thing that could potentially boost his popularity.
It will grant him exposure to the public, to an audience that don’t watch live streams.
But Jay felt like it’s too much of a burden for the current him to face those dia.
Because even if exposure is good, too much of it could also lead to so negative effects.
For strears, influencers, or internet celebrities, one wrong move could lead to a big drop in popularity.
This is mostly if you did sothing wrong, of course.
But even if you did nothing wrong, soone could even fabricate one for you.
Who would do that? Jealous people.
This shows that exposing himself too much could make him vulnerable from attacks from unknown people as an individual internet celebrity.
Especially people with ulterior motives.
However, this situation won’t last for long.
Because right now, Jay is also in discussion about joining an entertainnt agency.
...
Jay and Valery continued chatting while enjoying the fresh air around them.
Suddenly, the two of them heard footsteps heading their way.
Since there are a lot of shrubs and plants blocking their sight, they couldn’t see who was coming towards them.
Paying close attention, Jay listened to the approaching sound.
Soon, the footsteps ca near and Jay saw who it was coming from.
"Robert?"
After seeing the person, Jay called out his na with hesitation.
Hearing his na being called, Robert raised his head and saw Jay.
Imdiately, a smile appeared on his face.
"Jay!"
Then his eyes landed on Valery beside Jay and he raised an eyebrow.
The next mont, a look of realization appeared on Robert’s face and a playful smile crept up his lips.
"Ooh, Jay, who’s this with you? She’s not the girl you introduced to us last ti."
Jay froze, then looking at Robert’s expression, he imdiately understood.
Rolling his eyes, he said, "Stop making trouble. This girl is my friend, Valery."
"Valery, this guy is Robert, my childhood friend."
After he introduced the two of them, they nodded to each other as a sign of acknowledgent.
Walking closer, Robert said, "Haha, sorry, Miss Valery. I thought you’re this guy’s girlfriend so I was planning to tease him a bit."
In response, Valery smiled and said,
"It’s okay. It’s nothing."
After pausing for a second, Valery added, "But did he really introduce a girl last ti?"
