Chapter 71 Insults Are you Minghe?
Liang Minghe has become famous.
On a Friday evening in November, Liang Minghe's previously recorded celebration program was edited and broadcast live.
The program was filmed with the participation of five main voice actors from the game and an external host. Its main purpose was to tell the characters' stories through the voice actors' voices and announce the game's plans for the new year, thereby achieving the purpose of promotion.
Among the dense barrage of comments, there were heartfelt expressions of love for the game characters, attentive viewers watching the program and engaging in discussions, people flooding the screen with gratitude for the giveaways, and of course, there were also those cheering on the voice actors themselves.
This is not surprising, as the voice acting community itself has a large audience.
Moreover, in order to survive, many professionals in various industries have to step into the limelight to promote themselves and stand out from the crowd, gain more visibility, and thus obtain more job opportunities.
The same applies to the voice acting industry, where there are far more monks than porridge. Various forms of appearance, such as live streaming, autograph sessions, program recordings, and on-screen voice performances, are being carried out to maintain the voice acting industry's popularity and even make a living.
Among the guests recording the program, apart from Liang Minghe, they are all professional voice actors, and they are relatively well-known in terms of both voice and appearance. In comparison, Liang Minghe, who rarely appears in public, is particularly intriguing.
On the ultra-high-definition screen, Liang Minghe is tall with long legs and an excellent physique. His beautiful face is so exquisite that even a close-up shot cannot reveal a single flaw.
The screen was filled with exclamation marks, some people spammed the name, and others praised it effusively.
As a wife, Zhou Jinqin was naturally secretly pleased, but what followed was a vague sense of unease.
She sat cross-legged on the carpet, hugging a cushion, and looked back at the man on the sofa who was intently peeling a pear, asking, "So, will you have to wear a mask when you go out from now on?"
Liang Minghe chuckled at her serious expression. He casually popped a piece of pear into her mouth and said, "You're overthinking it. This circle is relatively niche, so not many people will care. Besides, I probably won't take on this kind of work again in the future, so they'll likely forget about me soon."
Zhou Jinqin was skeptical. She swallowed the pear and mumbled indistinctly, "Someone just called you 'husband'..."
Amidst the dense barrage of comments, she managed to pinpoint this particular word.
Liang Minghe turned off the video, which was nearing its end. He got up and sat on the carpet, embracing Zhou Jinqin from the side and teasingly asking, "Darling, are you jealous?"
Warm breaths pattered against my ear, making it slightly damp. The man's pleasant voice entered my ears, like a fine, soft brush stroking my ear canal, sending a surge of intense tingling sensation through me.
Zhou Jinqin trembled involuntarily, and her voice became unsteady as she spoke: "I was just saying it offhand."
"Is that so?" Liang Minghe lowered his head, rested his chin on her thin right shoulder, and said in an almost whispered voice, "Well, I'm not feeling quite comfortable about it."
Zhou Jinqin was puzzled. She pouted and wrinkled her nose, a hint of jealousy she herself didn't realize: "Why? But no one calls me 'wife' in front of you."
Liang Minghe suddenly chuckled softly, nuzzling her warm neck affectionately, and said, "I don't care what others call me, but you, my wife, never seem to call me husband."
“There’s no such thing as ‘never’…” Zhou Jinqin retorted subconsciously, but then suddenly shut her mouth.
She did call Liang Minghe "husband," but usually only when introducing their relationship to outsiders or when she was being seduced during sexual activity. In everyday life, she never called him that.
Liang Minghe moved his hands, which were around her waist, down to support her buttocks. With a little effort, he easily lifted her up and placed her on his lap.
The two looked at each other, but Liang Minghe remained silent, only gazing meaningfully at the woman so close to him with his alluring peach blossom eyes.
Zhou Jinqin blushed. She tried to lower her head to avoid his burning gaze, but there was no room left for her to maneuver, so she could only stare blankly at him with no way to avoid it.
With a mischievous grin, Liang Minghe leaned closer and lightly touched the tip of her nose. With just a slight lift of his chin, he could kiss her rosy lips.
Once, twice, three times... Liang Minghe tirelessly kissed the pair of slightly nervous, dewy roses.
"Why don't you prove it to me?" Liang Minghe suddenly asked during one of their kisses.
Zhou Jinqin glanced at him and muttered softly, "You really want to hear that?"
“Of course,” Liang Minghe said, his eyes shining, and he nodded firmly. “I really want to.”
Perhaps it was the warm ambient lighting shining down on her, but Zhou Jinqin's lowered eyelashes seemed to carry a faint blush. Almost encouraged by the man beneath her, she whispered, "Husband..."
Finally, Liang Minghe was no longer satisfied with superficial kisses. He pressed his tongue against the ground and, with a little skill, easily explored deeper secrets.
Zhou Jinqin lost consciousness from the kiss, but she still remembered the hardship of being in the dominant position. She tearfully begged to switch positions, but Liang Minghe ruthlessly refused.
Using the word "ruthless" might not be an accurate description; Liang Minghe's tone was actually very gentle, almost as if he were coaxing him.
He whispered lightly in Zhou Jinqin's ear, "Why not? I remember you did very well in the car last time."
It was all done terribly! The car ride was bad! This night of being scammed was bad too!
Zhou Jinqin lay on the bed, her eyes fixed on the man's back with a look full of resentment.
Liang Minghe buttoned up his shirt, turned around, ruffled her frizzy hair, and said with a smile, "I think my wife should go out and exercise with me. What do you think?"
If she didn't fall into a scam, it must be because she didn't encounter a targeted fraud. Liang Ming and Qing Piao Piao opened their mouths, and Zhou Jinqin automatically walked into the trap.
Liang Minghe led Zhou Jinqin on a morning run on the track near the community. Considering that Zhou Jinqin was a thin person who lacked exercise all year round, Liang Minghe only arranged a three-kilometer jog for her.
It turned out that although it was supposed to be a jog, Zhou Jinqin didn't actually run at all; she spent most of the time walking slowly.
Liang Minghe didn't rush her, but leisurely walked alongside her, occasionally saying things that made people blush, such as "My wife is great," which were ambiguous but applicable to many occasions, to praise and encourage her.
He even had the energy to greet the dogs that passed by while he was out for a walk. He could accurately call out the names of the dogs, such as Huanhuan, Le'er, Goubao, and Laicai. His energy was as boundless as a beagle that barked wildly and destroyed things.
"Good morning! Yayo!" A small and cute Bichon Frise enthusiastically jumped into Liang Minghe's arms.
Yayo's owner was a young girl. Liang Minghe didn't know her name, but he gave her a polite greeting.
Calling each other by their dog's name is a normal thing among dog lovers. The only abnormal thing is that Liang Ming doesn't have a dog.
After carefully examining Liang Minghe's face, Yayo's owner hesitated before calling out to him, "Um... are you Minghe?"
Looking at Zhou Jinqin beside her, Yayo's owner realized that the relationship between the two was unusual. Fearing that her tone and attitude just now might have caused a misunderstanding, she quickly waved her hand and explained, "It's like this, I was watching XX game's anniversary live stream last night, and I think you were in it..."
Liang Minghe did not adopt a stage name when he entered the industry; he simply dropped his surname and used it as his given name when doing voice acting work.
Clearly, this was a gamer, and there was no way to hide it or fool him. Liang Ming simply nodded and admitted it.
Yayo's owner was pleasantly surprised: "I only thought your voice sounded like XXX (game character) before, but I only dared to confirm it yesterday when I saw your face. I didn't expect I already knew you. Teacher! I especially love your voice. Many of my tweets are voiced by you, and it's such a perfect match!"
The thing she feared last night still happened, leaving Zhou Jinqin feeling worried and somewhat at a loss.
Liang Minghe gently pressed her hand in his palm, then looked up and smiled at Yayo's master, offering some polite words of thanks for her support.
The other person was a very tactful person and did not ask for photos or autographs. They simply expressed their liking for the other person multiple times and then ended the conversation without taking up too much time.
Even after learning that Zhou Jinqin was Liang Minghe's wife, he still kindly wished the two a long and happy marriage.
Zhou Jinqin's anxiety was relieved, but this peace did not last long.
Because of this official public appearance, Liang Minghe gained a large number of fans in a short period of time, and with such a large number of fans, it's inevitable that there will be a mix of good and bad.
If the new friends who joined were just fans of his looks and voice, that would be fine. But some irrational individuals have mixed in, and they use the excuse of new fans digging up old things to wantonly expose Liang Minghe's personal privacy.
On the internet, people are almost transparent; even an ordinary photo can be analyzed to glean some insights.
In addition, Liang Minghe did not make any special effort to conceal his identity, and soon his multiple identities as the son of a real estate tycoon in the Pearl River Delta region, the grandson of a famous antique connoisseur, and a well-known children's painter were all exposed.
Believing themselves to be attractive, successful, and capable, their fans take pride in this and boast about it, which has caused extreme dissatisfaction among the fans of a competitor.
The two voice actors have similar styles and often compete for the same role, which makes their already disharmonious situation even worse.
Liang Minghe did not respond to the ensuing insults and slander. In fact, these arguments would only remain online and would almost never happen in reality.
After all, in a country as large as China, the voice-over industry is indeed a relatively niche circle, and it is difficult for them to cause a stir like mainstream celebrities when they go out on the street.
Moreover, many people are just talking big behind the screen; when they actually meet face-to-face, they can't really be assertive.
Moreover, Liang Minghe and the so-called competitors they mentioned actually have a very good relationship in private. There is indeed competition in their work, but it is all legitimate and they will not fall out because of the unfounded online attacks.
Insults and abuse only exist in the fantasy world of irrational and abnormal groups.
"Since voice acting isn't working out, is she now trying to switch to the looks-based industry?"
"I threw up, her voice is awful! And she's ugly too!"
"Which young master has arrived?"
"Did our rich dad buy another job for our young master Minghe?"
"..."
Liang Minghe did not respond to such insults. He only went online once to warn others not to get involved, and then continued his life and work as usual, seemingly unaffected, until one day Zhou Jinqin was also dragged into it...
