Chapter 53

The collaborative account created by Heyu Bai Studio was very successful, and Yu Xia's followers increased rapidly.

To maintain continuous exposure and achieve better promotional results, the studio maintained a frequency of three updates per week, and Yu Xia drew until her pen caught fire.

Her high output quickly brought her to the public eye. Almost every collaborative video she created received no fewer than 300,000 likes, and the comments section was full of praise. In no time, the title "Summer" began to appear in people's sight.

Generally, once a video account reaches this level, it will usually start by doing a live stream, offering fan benefits, chatting, and so on, to solidify its fan base.

Yu Bai also plans to do a live stream sometime, and it just so happens that the first work of the newly signed voice actors is about to be released, so he can take the opportunity to show his face and do some promotion.

Yu Bai was initially established because it took over all copyright-related matters of Bai He. As an absolute top figure in the voice acting industry, Bai He's name quickly attracted fans from all over the world.

It's worth noting that Bai He was a rather mysterious figure before this, appearing and disappearing like a dragon. After completing the voice acting, he would vanish from the internet as soon as the work was released, and no one could find him until the next official announcement of a work.

Therefore, as the studio that took over Baihe's copyright, Yubai has given many fans a home. At least they can understand Baihe's basic work calendar and no longer have to open blind boxes, not knowing when he will appear next or what works he will be working on.

Of course, when Yu Bai Studio was first established, countless fans and netizens dug into the background of this studio, wanting to see which capital could bring Bai He, a voice actor, into their fold.

But after searching for a long time, they found nothing.

The studio wasn't some big shot's little shop; it was just an obscure little studio. They didn't even know who the founder was. Plus, Bai He was very good at protecting his privacy, so they couldn't find any connection between Bai He and the studio.

However, they never imagined that Bai He himself was the owner of this small studio.

The live stream is scheduled for this Monday.

As soon as the message was released, the number of reservations reached 100,000, all of whom were real people.

Many of them were just looking for a chance to join in the fun and see if they would run into Bai He, the only studio associated with him, during the live stream.

To prepare for this live stream, all the staff in the studio, big and small, gathered for a small meeting, and everyone was assigned a task, all for this live stream.

If you're going to do it, you should do it to the best of your ability.

Since Yu Xia has a personal account and extensive live streaming experience, this live stream will be guided by Yu Xia.

Since it involves newly signed voice actors appearing on screen, it's essential to prepare their personal image.

Therefore, the art department of Yubai Studio was pulled up to act as makeup artists, and a bunch of people were scrambling around inside.

"Hey! Where did the powder puff go?"

"Who took my mascara?!"

"I need blush, who the hell is going to give me some loose powder?"

"Hey bro, where did you put my double eyelid tape? Don't you know his eyes are small and he needs double eyelid tape to make them look bigger? Will his eyes even be visible on camera later?"

The voice actor, whose eyes were described as small, tried to defend herself: "Actually, you can still see..."

But as soon as he finished speaking, the makeup artist glared at him fiercely and said, "Shut up."

The young actor silently shut his mouth.

When Gu Yubai entered, this was the scene he saw: the conference room was as noisy as a vegetable market.

"Mr. Gu." The people inside greeted him when they saw him arrive.

Gu Yubai nodded and prepared to walk inside to see how the preparations were going. But he had only gone halfway when he felt something soft and furry under his feet.

Gu Yubai paused, moved his foot away, bent down and picked up the dark, lumpy thing.

But before he could even see what the lump was, it was suddenly taken from his hand.

"Oh dear! So this wig was here all along! I've been looking for it for ages," Yuan Yi said, relieved to be safe.

Gu Yubai: "..."

It turns out that this weird thing was a wig.

"Why are you using a wig?" Gu Yubai really couldn't understand. He just wanted them to help him with his makeup so he could look presentable on camera. Why did they make such a fuss, causing such chaos? They even brought out wigs. It's not like they're going to a talent show.

"Oh, you don't understand, Xiao Chen is bald to the bone. Without a wig, he looks like a 40-year-old engineering guy," Yuan Yi said disdainfully.

Xiao Chen is one of the newly signed voice actors at Yu Bai.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen said, feeling wronged, "Sister Xiao Yi, your voice is a bit loud."

"Hehe," Yuan Yi chuckled, patted the dust off the wig, and put it on his head. "It's alright, it looks much better this way."

As if he didn't believe Yuan Yi's words, Xiao Chen touched the wig on his head suspiciously and asked Gu Yubai next to him with a somewhat uncertain tone, "Mr. Gu... do you think so too?"

Gu Yubai only glanced at it before giving up.

What demons and monsters?

"Where is Yu Xia?" he asked.

Xiao Chen: "..."

“He’s inside,” Yuan Yi said.

Since Yu Xia is the host of this live stream and will also be appearing on camera, she is also working on her image.

Gu Yubai nodded, lifted his foot and walked inside, not sparing them another extra glance, as if looking at them again would mean his eyes would be raped the next second.

As if sensing Gu Yubai's disdain, Xiao Chen pouted and said to Yuan Yi, "Sister Xiao Yi, don't you think President Gu is being very perfunctory towards us?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yi frowned, as if she didn't know where these words came from, and asked in confusion, "Hasn't he always been like this?"

Xiao Chen: "..."

"Okay, so don't you think President Gu... seems to be in a hurry to find Yu Xia?"

“Oh,” Yuan Yi said casually, “that’s probably because Xia is the only one in this group who is acceptable to me.”

Seeing his face as white as a wall in the mirror, Xiao Chen was speechless.

There was no way to refute it.

—

Yu Xia's location is easy to find; it's just inside.

Unlike the others, she did her own makeup. Unlike the others who were all flustered and busy, she occupied only a small table and focused intently on looking in the mirror in front of her, looking up and down as if trying to find any parts of her makeup that weren't done well.

Upon seeing Yu Xia, Gu Yubai felt his soul be purified.

Finally, someone who looks like a human has arrived.

Gu Yubai didn't want to recall how many colorful faces he had encountered on his way here.

The red ones are red, the white ones are white; they're even scarier than the monsters on the journey to the West.

He even suspected that once this group gathered, they might be going to perform some kind of ritual. He wondered if any viewers would report their live stream.

It wasn't until he saw Yu Xia that Gu Yubai finally felt a little more at ease.

There were still normal people in the room.

Seemingly noticing the gaze, Yu Xia looked up and met Gu Yubai's eyes.

She paused for a moment, then called out, "President Gu."

Upon hearing this address, Gu Yubai subconsciously frowned, but then remembered that they were in the studio now, and last time he had referred to a place outside of work. So he reluctantly nodded, accepting the address, and then walked towards Yu Xia.

Yu Xia seemed surprised by his arrival. The mirror she was holding froze for a moment, and then she subconsciously moved to the side, making room for Gu Yubai.

Gu Yubai then sat down next to her.

"Is it done?" Gu Yubai asked.

She nodded and said, "That's about it."

Yu Xia pursed her lips, making the color on them more even.

Gu Yubai's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

This was the first time he had ever seen Yu Xia wearing this color of lipstick.

It was a very bright red. Normally, her lips were a light color, but now they were so red that they looked like they were dripping blood. Paired with her bright features, it was truly flamboyant.

He suddenly understood why girls like to wear makeup.

So this is what it looks like after makeup.

She looks even more beautiful than usual, so beautiful that it's hard to look away.

Not noticing his unusual behavior, Yu Xia asked, "Is there something you need, Mr. Gu?"

When he asked this question, Yu Xia looked up at him. Only then did Gu Yubai realize that Yu Xia's eyes were also made up. There was something shimmering on her eyelids that made her look like she was glowing, which was very beautiful.

"I……"

Just as he was about to speak, a voice suddenly came from the side, interrupting him.

"Xiaxia, can you do my eye makeup?"

The person who asked the question was Yue Xing, who was sitting behind and to the side of Yu Xia. He was also a newly signed voice actor at Yu Bai.

Yue Xing turned around and saw that Gu Yubai was also there. He smiled and greeted Gu Yubai: "President Gu".

Gu Yubai nodded indifferently.

Unlike the group of straight male voice actors signed here, Yue Xing has some makeup experience. Due to the lack of manpower in the studio, Yue Xing, who has some makeup experience, has barely become a qualified student among many novices and can be considered to be able to support himself.

However, since I hadn't done it in a long time, I was a bit rusty, and my skills weren't very good to begin with, so there were naturally some areas I couldn't get right.

It just so happened that Yu Xia was also doing her own makeup. He sat behind Yu Xia and would ask her questions whenever he didn't know how to do something. Yu Xia would help him with the parts he couldn't handle. Over time, the two of them became somewhat familiar with each other.

Therefore, at this moment, he held the eyeshadow palette and asked Yu Xia in a very familiar tone.

But that familiar tone made Gu Yubai feel uneasy.

Xiaxia?

He's never called Yu Xia that before. Except for that time at the airport when he wanted to tease Yu Xia, he always called her Yu Xia. When did this guy, who had only just met Yu Xia, start calling her Xia Xia?

Are people so lacking in social etiquette these days?

Gu Yubai frowned.

However, Yu Xia didn't seem to care about the title. She took the eyeshadow palette, stood next to Yue Xing, and asked him, "What kind of eyes do you want to wear?"

Yue Xing pointed at Yu Xia and said with a smile, "Someone like you is just right, you're quite pretty."

It's beautiful, you don't even need to tell me.

Gu Yubai snorted coldly in his heart.

“Okay, then close your eyes.” Yu Xia swept the brush on the mirror plate.

Yu Xia's makeup application was quite gentle; the brush strokes on her eyelids felt like a gentle tickle, which was somewhat pleasant.

“Your eyes are quite pretty, kind of like a puppy’s eyes,” Yu Xia said.

"Really?" Yue Xing was clearly pleased. "Someone else has said that before."

What kind of dog eyes?

Isn't it just like a dog's eyes? Why make it sound so nice?

Gu Yubai snorted coldly in his heart once again.

Yu Xia did her makeup quite quickly, and it was done in no time.

“Okay, take a look,” Yu Xia said to him.

Upon hearing this, Yue Xing opened her eyes, saw herself in the mirror, and was extremely satisfied: "Looks good! You're amazing, Xia Xia!"

Summer my foot.

Just as Gu Yubai was about to roll his eyes and look away, he suddenly heard Yu Xia say:

"Hey, don't move, there's a bit too much powder here."

After speaking, Yu Xia reached out and gently brushed away the excess powder from Yue Xing's eyes with her fingertips.

"Now it's all right." Yu Xia clapped her hands.

Yue Xing smiled, a smile that was extremely irritating to Gu Yubai: "Thank you, Xiaxia."

Gu Yubai gritted his teeth, making a crunching sound.

Hold.

Why did he even sign with that damn Yuexing in the first place?!
