"Hmm... our Top Talent's Financial Backer really has a beautiful voice."
Suddenly, a very familiar voice teased.
Gu Sheng was so startled that she messed up several notes in a flurry. She wanted to see who had entered the room, but she had to finish what she hadn't completed.
"Yeah," Dou Dou Dou Bing sighed softly, "that vibrato is absolutely gorgeous."
"Pure and natural, unadorned," Jue Mei Sha Yi also savored it slowly, "It's exactly the kind of voice Qiang Qingci loves the most."
...
Gu Sheng really couldn't sing anymore.
She stopped abruptly and saw that seven or eight people had entered her locked room, and... all of them had been given sub-channel administrator status...
W?!
Feng Ya Song?!
Dou Dou Dou Bing??!
Fei Shao??!!
Jue Mei Sha Yi???!!!
Geng Xiaoxing???!!!
And most of them were online via mobile... Gu Sheng was completely bewildered.
"Um..." Feng Ya Song said very, very politely, "Qiang Qingci, Sheng Sheng Man, sorry to interrupt your date, I'm truly flustered... Dou Dou Dou Bing called me here."
Dou Dou Dou Bing: "Fei Shao called me here."
Fei Shao: "It's not my fault, W notified me."
W: "I was having hotpot with Jue Mei..."
Jue Mei: "...I was chatting with Geng Xiaoxing on WeChat, Sheng Sheng, you understand..."
...
No need to say more. Geng Xiaoxing was the Orange Horse in her channel.
It must have been Geng Xiaoxing who gave them all administrator status one by one, selling her out T T.
And then... she was surrounded and watched T T.
Geng Xiaoxing very obsequiously sent her a private message: You understand... Jue Mei wanted it, I didn't dare not give it~
"Sheng Sheng~" Feng Ya Song complained resentfully, "The Top Talent is so selfish... he kept kicking us out, I didn't get to hear everything, just bits and pieces~" Dou Dou Dou Bing also thought Qiang Qingci was very inconsiderate: "It was like a tug-of-war, constantly kicking us out, constantly coming back in... We just wanted to see how the Top Talent dates..."
...
Qiang Qingci remained silent the whole time.
Gu Sheng felt that this matter needed to be explained and clarified: "Actually... it's... um..." How to say it? The Top Talent asked me to sing? So I sang? But why did the Top Talent ask me to sing?... I don't know either...
Gu Sheng was completely overwhelmed... Facing such a group of experienced and teasing Voice Actors, her reaction as a cover singer was really weak.
Fortunately, Qiang Qingci cleared his throat and turned on his microphone.
"Sheng Sheng and I made a bet," Qiang Qingci's voice seemed to have finally opened up, returning to its best state, "She lost, so she had to sing for me."
Uh... Did we?
That unique low voice came through the headphones.
Low voice low voice low voice low voice, why did it feel so doting? It was because his low voice was unmatched... Gu Sheng silently immersed herself in this voice while marveling at how the Top Talent made lies sound more convincing than the truth...
Alright... let's say we did.
She thought this seemed like a reasonable excuse.
"...Top Talent of Unparalleled Beauty, next time you make a bet, please call me. I'm your Obsessive Fan now, how could such a good opportunity to sing for you not include me?" Dou Dou Dou Bing started teasing him again.
"Forget it," Feng Ya Song chuckled, reminding her, "Linglong Titou privately messages the Top Talent every time she records a song. Our perfect Top Talent, does he lack songs to listen to?"
...Sure enough, mingling in the circle of top talents' old friends, you really get to hear some gossip.
Gu Sheng shamelessly admitted to herself that she genuinely loved listening to gossip...
"Linglong Titou has a mature, sisterly voice," Dou Dou Dou Bing pondered for a moment. "The top talent of the nation, Qiang Qingci, probably isn't into that type. Otherwise, why hasn't she been able to hook up with him all these years..."
"Ah, wrong," Jue Mei cleared his throat and said seriously, "Linglong Titou is too tall. Qiang Qingci doesn't like tall girls..."
Fei Shao laughed: "Dou Bing, you're done for. You're over 170 cm..."
"Say that again and I'll fight you..." Dou Dou Dou Bing sniffled quietly. "Even 180 cm guys are being taken by 160 cm girls... Huh? Sheng Sheng, how tall are you?"
"Me?" Gu Sheng answered honestly, "162 cm..."
"Hmm, Qiang Qingci's favorite height..." Feng Ya Song added appropriately.
...
Jue Mei leaned close to the microphone and couldn't help complaining: "I live in the same suite as the top talent, just two doors apart. If I want to hear Sheng Sheng sing, I have to ask her classmates... Sigh... As a purple horse, I really have no status."
Gu Sheng was stunned, only then remembering that Jue Mei and Qiang Qingci lived together...
It seemed the veteran members of Perfect had a hobby:
Teasing the top talent...
And the top talent always had the same reaction:
Silence...
After getting familiar for over a month, they started teasing Gu Sheng along with him. Since there were no fans around, they really went all out with no limits and all sorts of hints. Although in the two-dimensional world, it could all be taken as a joke. But it really was quite embarrassing. Gu Sheng deeply felt that her face was getting thinner and thinner...
Suddenly, there was some noise from someone's side.
Then W, who had hardly been involved, suddenly exclaimed: "The top talent has appeared."
Jue Mei had his microphone on in the room, picking up the voices of three people. Soon, Jue Mei was heard saying: "I just remembered, you were on duty for 36 hours earlier. How come you woke up after only sleeping for over three hours? And you're in the mood to listen to singing?" This was probably directed at the top talent.
"Hungry." Qiang Qingci was relatively far from the microphone, so his voice could only be faintly heard.
Jue Mei chuckled: "Only vegetable leaves left. I'll open another box of meat for you."
Qiang Qingci acknowledged, and there was the sound of a chair moving. He probably sat down at the dining table? "Vegetable leaves are fine. There's also a box of shrimp in the fridge," he paused slightly and leisurely reminded the other two, "There's been bird flu recently."
W: "Damn... I forgot."
Listening to this, Gu Sheng felt like she was listening to a radio drama. In her mind, she instantly pictured two men glaring at the top talent while regretting eating meat... and another... well, the top talent drowsily boiling shrimp...
"I say, you three men are going too far," Dou Dou Dou Bing protested. "There are still three women and two men who haven't eaten..." "What's so excessive about this?" Jue Mei leaned close to the microphone and reminded Dou Bing, "When the top talent is hungry, it's scary... Let him finish eating before playing, okay?"
Dou Dou Dou Bing snorted twice: "Fine..." She paused for a few seconds and suddenly got excited. "Sheng Sheng, Sheng Sheng, top talent, top talent, Jue Mei, Jue Mei, Feng Ya, Feng Ya, Weibo, Weibo..."
She couldn't even form a complete sentence.
But her excitement got everyone else excited too.
The only thing that could make Dou Dou Dou Bing like this was definitely gossip, and nothing but gossip.Almost everyone made the same move—picking up their phones and computers to open Weibo.
The moment Gu Sheng opened the webpage, it nearly crashed.
The number of @ mentions was staggering.
This time, she got smarter and immediately switched to Top Talent’s Weibo…
Someone had posted a trendy Weibo-style message:
“If @Qiang Qingci @Jue Mei Sha Yi @W are willing to repost this, I’ll send everyone who comments under this post a postcard from Japan! If my Favorite Voice Actor @Qiang Qingci reposts it and reveals whose voice he loves most, I’ll send everyone who comments under this post a box of delicious chocolates!!!!”
It was posted just three minutes ago…
Theoretically… the three people mentioned were all in the same room eating hotpot, so it was unlikely anyone would notice.
But…
Qiang Qingci actually… really… reposted it on his phone: “Too extravagant. @Sheng Sheng Man”
Author’s Note: Covering my face, Top Talent, Top Talent, I’ll support you forever… PS, reiterating once again, there’s no real-life prototype!!!! Crying while running. Also, last night I suddenly decided to take this story seriously and not just write wherever it goes (meaning it won’t be abandoned…). So, it might go VIP at any time, but it’s also possible it’ll stay free all the way to the end. I haven’t decided yet, so that’s it for now…
