Chapter 34

I asked two questions, but the young anchor's answers were very vague.

Logically speaking, this kind of answer, which applies to anyone, is no different from a drop of water in the ocean, but Gu Yubai inexplicably recalled the first time he met the young anchor.

To use a slang term that Gu Yubai had just learned, it was an unexpected offline "meetup".

He recalled the painting Yu Xia drew during her live stream after that unexpected meeting.

The streamer didn't have nearly as much viewership back then; he was the only one in the room. That day, when he entered the room, she excitedly announced that she was going to draw the super handsome guy she saw that day.

He was wondering which of the people who came out of the meeting room that day matched the word the junior anchor had said, and he was even silently criticizing them in his mind. But he didn't expect that the junior anchor would eventually draw himself.

Seeing this painting evoked a certain state of mind at the time, but now thinking about it brings a completely different feeling.

Hmm...super handsome guy.

This assessment aligns with what the junior streamer just said: she likes handsome men.

So, Gu Yubai checked the box in the appearance section of the plan.

The appearance standard is temporarily met.

Next, we need to start from other aspects.

Judging from how much the young anchor liked Bai He, Gu Yubai thought she must be a voice enthusiast.

With this in mind, Gu Yubai added a "sound" column to the plan.

Put the pen down and put the cap back on.

Gu Yubai looked at the schedule, making sure nothing was missing and there was nothing to add for the time being. Then, Gu Yubai nodded very solemnly at the notebook, seemingly very satisfied with it. He gently ran his fingers over its cover, as if afraid of getting dust on it, and then carefully placed it in the bedside table for his nightly reading.

Yu Xia was in an incredibly good mood last night after eating the meal cooked by her idol. She put on her earphones and played the recording from last night on repeat. Listening to her idol's voice made her feel like she was soaking in honey, and she was so happy that she even hummed a song on her way to work.

Although Yu Xia is usually a cheerful person with a smile on her face at all times, she was different today. You could clearly feel her cheerful and radiant aura.

This kind of emotion is easy to perceive. Her good mood was so obvious that when she got to her workstation, Yuan Yi couldn't help but turn to her and ask, "Xia, what's making you so happy?"

"Huh?" Yu Xia was stunned for a moment, her eyes widening, bright and sparkling, looking quite surprised. "Is it that obvious?"

Seeing her expression, Yuan Yi smiled and said, "What do you think? Your smile is so wide it's practically reaching the back of your head. What happy occasion has made you so excited?"

"Hehe," Yu Xia laughed sheepishly, not expecting her behavior to be so obvious. She thought she had been restrained enough.

There's nothing we can do about it; she's the kind of person who wears her heart on her sleeve and can't hide anything.

"It's nothing, it's just that my favorite idol posted something yesterday, and I was so happy I couldn't sleep," Yu Xia said.

As he said this, Gu Yubai happened to be passing by the art department and paused in his tracks.

Every word of these words reached his ears.

Gu Yubai raised an eyebrow slightly.

“I see,” Yuan Yi nodded knowingly. “No wonder, the power of idols is truly great.”

"Who do you like?" Yuan Yi asked casually as she unscrewed the water bottle.

"Bai He".

"Cough cough cough," Yuan Yi choked violently upon hearing the name. After recovering from the saliva, Yuan Yi stared at her with wide eyes and asked incredulously, "You, you like Bai He, the Bai He from CV?"

“Yes,” Yu Xia thought Yuan Yi was amazed by her excellent taste, but when she heard that Yuan Yi also knew Bai He, her eyes lit up, “You know him too? Do you also think he’s particularly amazing?”

Yu Xia handed her a tissue, her eyes shining as she looked at her, seemingly eagerly awaiting her answer.

Yuan Yi took the tissue and wiped her mouth, her lips twitching slightly: "Yes, it's pretty impressive."

They're even more formidable when they're cursing without any expression.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xia became even more enthusiastic, immediately regarding Yuan Yi as one of her own kind. She naturally launched into an unrestrained praise mode for her idol, eager to exchange and share with her.

"Which of his works have you listened to? Which one is your favorite? My favorite is his first work. His voice is so unique and full of emotion. I was amazed the first time I heard it. I started paying attention to him from then on, and then I liked him more and more. I found that each of his works was better than the last. I think his voice is the most versatile in the world. Every time I listen to it, I think, how did he grow such a voice? How can he be so amazing and handle any style? How can there be such a perfect person in the world?"

Yu Xia talks endlessly about her idol, Bai He, as if she wants to tell everyone everything about him, afraid that people won't know how good he is.

Yuan Yi thought of Gu Yubai's usual demeanor during meetings and chuckled inwardly. He was far from being a good person.

"I think it's alright," Yuan Yi replied dismissively, not wanting to discuss that icy-faced man, much less the good things about capitalists. So, she turned away without making a sound, avoiding Yu Xia's gaze.

Before she could even put down the water bottle, her gaze met that of a dark figure as she turned around.

She looked up and was so startled she almost dropped the bottle in her hand.

The person who had just been discussed was now standing to the side with his hands in his pockets, his expression unreadable.

His eyes were fixed on Yu Xia's direction, and a slight smile played on his lips.

Yuan Yi couldn't tell if that look was a smile or a mockery.

Based on her many years of work experience, Gu Yubai is most likely someone who is being sarcastic.

Seemingly noticing a gaze directed at him, Gu Yubai turned his head, his eyes meeting Yuan Yi's wide, terrified gaze.

“Gu, Gu Gu Gu…” Yuan Yi stammered in fright.

But before she could utter a sound, Gu Yubai had already withdrawn his gaze, walked away with his hands in his pockets, and left expressionlessly.

The suffocating feeling dissipated as Gu Yubai left.

Yuan Yi finally had a chance to catch her breath.

He frantically tried to recall his conversation with Yu Xia earlier. Did he say anything bad about the boss? Did he reveal his true feelings?

Holy crap, this is like watching a spy movie on my way to work! It's terrifying!

Yuan Yi screwed the water bottle back on with lingering fear and vowed never to chat idly at her workstation again.

She didn't want to say anything she shouldn't have if she ever let her guard down; it was too scary!

Her career is probably coming to an end.

Gu Yubai was sitting in his office, watching the recording of "Wu Yang".

That was a new script he had just finished half a month ago. The team had edited the trailer and sent it to him in his email a week ago. They originally planned to release the trailer next month to let everyone know about it.

But just yesterday, a young anchorwoman cried and complained about it, so I felt that a week earlier wasn't a big deal.

So it was released ahead of schedule.

Since its release last night, "Baihe Ayang's voice acting" has become a trending topic.

Bai He is a well-known voice actor in the voice acting industry, but the voice acting industry is not a particularly mainstream circle. Most viewers are more familiar with professions like acting.

The reason this drama has garnered such high attention and generated such a strong response is mainly due to the solid foundation of the script and its already high popularity. Several rounds of casting for top-tier actors had already generated considerable buzz. Bai He's voice acting has introduced his name to many ordinary viewers unfamiliar with the voice acting industry, giving him another boost in mainstream recognition.

Today, Fu Ze posted several video links, which were edited by people outside the industry, showing his previous voice acting paired with character images.

Yesterday, Gu Yubai watched it, liked it with his alternate account, and then turned off his phone.

But today he suddenly remembered this matter, so he turned on his phone again and sent the video link that Fu Ze had sent him last night to the live streamer.

The reason was that he discovered many of his fans were commenting on these videos, saying things like "The food is delicious, I'll order more!", "Delicious!", "A divine dish!", "The talent of an outsider is terrifying! This TV girl has accidentally entered the voice acting world!", and "This is truly an accidental intrusion into a heavenly realm!"

Gu Yubai has been using his alternate account to learn about the internet for a while now, and his understanding of the internet is much better than before. Especially with the help of the live streamers, he feels like he has divine assistance, and his internet sense has reached a whole new level.

Having successfully evolved from elderly people who could connect to 2G networks to middle-aged people who could connect to 3G networks, with a little more effort, it will soon be possible for young people to connect to 4G networks.

Gu Yubai could barely understand from He Xiao's chat that these seemingly strange words were expressing his liking for the video.

He tried to put himself in the shoes of the small-time streamer. Since other fans liked it, the small-time streamer should like it too.

After all, judging from our chat last night, it seems like they really like it.

So he sent these videos to Yu Xia exactly as they were.

And try to express it in their own words.

【Bai and Bye】: The food smells delicious~ Sisters, eat up!

After sending the message, Gu Yubai looked at it and nodded deeply.

He compared this sentence with the chat on the live streamer's page and the comments in the comment section, and found that it looked just like a snowflake falling from Mount Fuji, without any sense of incongruity.

He felt that he had perfectly integrated into this online community.

In the words of the junior streamer, what's this flavor called again?

Oh, right! I remember now, it's called marinating!

Gu Yubai nodded deeply at the word.

They expressed admiration for internet culture.

What an apt metaphor!

It is so vivid and lifelike.

No wonder everyone used to say things he couldn't understand; he finally understood now that it was a more sophisticated way of expressing themselves.

Indeed, there is still much for him to learn from the internet.

However, he discovered that even though he had evolved to the next level, there was still some knowledge he couldn't understand. For example, he had no idea what a string of letters like "wbxl", "xswl", and "lgdl" meant when they were combined without any pattern.

It seems that his learning level is far from sufficient, and he still has a lot of work to do in the course of learning about the internet.

Learning has no end.

Gu Yubai nodded deeply once again.
