evening.

After Yao Yingmo had taken a nap and dealt with Li Yicheng, who was shocked by her schedule, she was about to make dinner.

The refrigerator was completely empty.

She had just returned from her hometown and her body, mind and spirit had not yet recovered, but she had to deal with the crisis without stopping. She didn't even have time to go out to buy groceries.

All that can be found now are the glutinous rice sausages brought from home and the canned corn stored for Shi Xuze.

"Looks like I'll just have to eat another meal of glutinous rice sausage and corn soup." There weren't even any vegetables.

As soon as she took out the steamer, Shi Xuze came and brought her a job.

"live streaming?"

Shi Xuze nodded. "Xiquan is saying that we should take advantage of the current popularity and use our own popularity. It just so happens that Mantianxing will be officially launched in two weeks, so it's time to warm up."

Yao Yingmo's brows furrowed slightly, and Shi Xuze quickly added, "If you don't want to live stream or feel it's inappropriate, you can refuse."

The live broadcast of a radio drama is usually hosted by the main actor, and it is rare for the original author himself to appear.

It is understandable that Yao Yingmo did not participate, but participating would be icing on the cake.

"If I don't participate, will it affect your team?"

"It won't affect anything." Shi Xuze opened his Weibo account. "The marketing team's live broadcast preview only mentioned my participation. They've used mystery guests for everything else. If you agree to participate, they'll probably post another Weibo post. If you don't, they'll find someone else to be the mystery guest, maybe another voice actor or Luo Jiayou."

Yao Yingmo opened the comment section, and the voice of support for her to participate in the live broadcast was the highest. Many people even confidently cited unrelated small details to deduce that she was the mysterious guest. The key point was that many people believed it.

I always feel that if she doesn't participate in the live broadcast, everything will become very troublesome.

Yao Yingmo glanced at Shi Xuze, who didn't notice the marketing team's little tricks, and nodded in agreement.

"The more troublesome thing is that I don't have the platform or equipment for live streaming."

She just got a microphone last time, and the conference room can be entered by clicking a link. As for the live broadcast platform and equipment, she can only say that she knows nothing about it.

Shi Xuze: "This is easy. I'll help you set up the platform later. You can just use the microphone I sent you last time."

"Okay." Yao Yingmo turned around and said, "I'll go cook. We can work after dinner."

After a simple dinner, Shi Xuze curled up in the living room, and the microphone and its several wires were once again laid out.

"Huh? Why is there no response when I plug in this microphone?"

Following the same steps as last time, Shi Xuze unplugged the cable and plugged it back in again. After trying several times, the computer still couldn't sense the microphone.

Yao Yingmo leaned over to take a look. "Is it broken?"

Shi Xuze tried again, "It's possible. After all, it was used in the recording studio for two or three years. It's already old equipment."

"What should I do? Can I use headphones?"

"That would make a lot of noise." Shi Xuze thought for a moment, "Do you want to come to my house?"

Yao Yingmo was stunned.

Shi Xuze paused.

Wouldn't it seem like he has ulterior motives if he invited someone home on the first day of dating, as if he was reckless and impatient?

Shi Xuze's face paled, and he looked at Yao Yingmo nervously, explaining, "Some recording work can be done at home, and since there are occasional live broadcasts, I have backup microphones and computers at home."

Shi Xuze's thoughts were all written on his face. Yao Yingmo smiled and said, "Okay then."

This was the first time Yao Yingmo stepped into Shi Xuze's home.

Cleaner than she imagined.

However, this cleanliness seems to have little to do with living habits, but more like the result of the absence of any signs of life.

The space that was originally the kitchen was turned into a storage room. The refrigerator and microwave were placed where the dining room was, but there was no separate dining table.

The doors of both rooms were open. One of the rooms had a double bed covered with a navy blue four-piece set. The other room looked like a workspace, with soundproofing cotton and a long blue desk running along the wall.

Looking at the system cabinets in the living room, they are all blue.

Yao Yingmo turned around and asked, "Do you like blue?"

As far as I can remember, Shi Xuze’s rainbow-colored hoodies are not often seen in blue.

"My parents told the designer it was for our baby son, and the designer assumed I was still a little boy, so they decided on a color palette based on their image. I don't have a particular color preference, and I chose blue for the bedding simply because I thought a unified color scheme would make the look look more organized."

Yao Yingmo nodded in understanding. Fortunately, Shi Xuze had no requirements for colors. Otherwise, the whole house would be filled with colors he didn't like, which would not only make living there stuffy, but also make people feel depressed after a long time.

From another perspective, Shi Xuze's requirements for his home are indeed very low. It can be said that apart from functionality related to work, he has no other requirements.

After all, when I’m at work, my schedule is disrupted, and when I’m at home I sleep all the time. As long as the bed is comfortable, nothing else matters.

Shi Xuze said embarrassedly: "My house is a bit messy."

Yao Yingmo shook his head. "It's not messy, it's very neat, but..."

Shi Xuze's heart was lifted, "Just?"

"It just lacks a bit of fireworks."

Shi Xuze touched his nose and said, "I don't cook."

He used to eat some takeout at home, but since Yao Yingmo started feeding him, he rarely even used the microwave.

There's no smell of fireworks. Not even heat.

Yao Yingmo smiled and said, "It's okay, I have the smell of fireworks at home."

Shi Xuze's eyes moved and his heart melted.

He wanted to hug her, but was afraid that she would not be able to adapt, so the thought remained only in the end. On the surface, he took Yao Yingmo into the workshop seriously and helped her set up the equipment and software at once.

"Hello everyone, I'm the voice actor Hu Guang."

"Hello everyone, I am the author Zhao He."

"Hello everyone, I'm the voice actor Tang Yu."

"I saw the production team's live broadcast announcement and thought I was seeing things, but I didn't expect Mr. Zhaohe to actually come."

"Teacher Huguang's voice is still so charming."

Yao Yingmo was curious and tried to identify the text on them, but he only found one or two.

Shi Xuze exclaimed, "Tang Yu, you are here too?"

Tang Yu: "I'm the heroine, of course I'm here."

Shi Xuze: "But you acted like you didn't know anything this afternoon."

Tang Yu said sarcastically, "It's because of the difference in status. You and Teacher Zhao He have to agree first before we ask the rest of us."

Yao Yingmo understood the witty banter between the two and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Being ridiculed by his new girlfriend, Shi Xuze curled his lips and said, "Don't I know you? You just want to watch the fun. Why are you pretending?"

Tang Yu: "You already know everything, but you still insist on asking. I'm not telling you because I'm saving your face."

"Why do I feel like Teacher Tangyu knows something we don't?"

"I guess it's something we all know."

"I understand."

"Decoded."

After the banter and greetings, the live broadcast officially began.

The staff played the trailer first, and the three people gave feedback based on the small talk they heard.

Shi Xuze was talkative, and Yao Yingmo and Tang Yu often strayed off topic, so they ended up chatting for nearly an hour to film a short three-minute trailer.

Shi Xuze paused and said, "I'm thirsty after talking so much. Would you like a glass of water, Teacher Zhaohe?"

"Okay." Yao Yingmo looked down and realized with embarrassment that she hadn't prepared any water. "I forgot to bring any."

Made a mistake.

Shi Xuze slapped his head in frustration and said, "Blame me. I'll get it."

"good."

"Have you found the bright spot, everyone?"

"Are Teacher Huguang and Teacher Zhaohe in the same space?"

“I got it!”

"Are you living together?"

"It's a carnival for CP fans!"

Shi Xuze hadn't returned yet. Yao Yingmo looked at the comments and chuckled, "Did you forget we're neighbors? My microphone is broken, so I came to borrow it."

"Oh, I see."

"To explain is to cover up."

Yao Yingmo just smiled without saying anything. Feeling indulged by the comments, she danced even more happily.

At this time, Shi Xuze finally came in with two glasses of water. The sound of opening and closing the door was recorded by the microphone. The superimposed effect of the two microphones made the fans hear the surround sound effect.

"Thank you." Yao Yingmo took the cup, took a sip, and looked surprised. "It's not water?"

The smell was so familiar, obviously from her own hand.

Shi Xuze admitted frankly, "Yeah, it's throat-soothing tea. I talked too much during the live broadcast, so I need to moisten my throat."

Tang Yu once again deliberately tried to sound sarcastic, "Ah, you guys secretly cooked for us without informing us first, leaving us who only have water to drink to quench our thirst."

Shi Xuze: "Didn't you drink today too?"

Yao Yingmo's eyebrows jumped.

There was still some distance between their chairs, so Yao Yingmo could only stretch out his foot and kick Shi Xuze's leg.

He felt a pain in his leg and heard Tang Yu's voice of trying to hold back laughter in his headphones again. Shi Xuze was shocked to realize that he had talked too much again.

If Tang Yu hadn't said it, no one would have known that the throat-soothing tea he brought today was made by Yao Yingmo.

But after he said that, at least everyone in the recording studio today could guess it.

He could only be thankful that he hadn't said everything, as the clues weren't enough for fans to deduce.

He also knew that no one announced their relationship to the world on the first day.

He himself felt like he was dreaming, so how could he bring it up?

Yao Yingmo coughed lightly, snatched the task of promoting the live broadcast, and reminded, "Now that the water has been drunk, should we move on to the next step?"

Shi Xuze: "Yes, yes, let me see. The next part is... please ask Teacher Zhaohe to give me and Teacher Tangyu a question, and we will perform a segment on the spot, and then Teacher Zhaohe and our fans will give us the scores."

Yao Yingmo took Shi Xuze's phone and understood the requirement. She was asked to come up with a situation that did not appear in the original text to test the two main actors' understanding of their roles.

"Starry Sky" was carefully selected by Shi Xuze as the most suitable one because he has been a fan of her books for many years. He knows the characters and plot like the back of his hand.

Tang Yu suffered a loss in this game.

Yao Yingmo thought about it, and in order to prevent Tang Yu from suffering too much, he even changed the world, "Then let's keep it simple... after confirming the relationship, we can have a small quarrel because of living habits."

Shi Xuze: "No problem."

Tang Yu was also very confident, "OK."

Yao Yingmo: "I haven't finished yet. The story takes place in the world of immortal cultivation."

"Teacher Zhaohe is so playful."

"It's so late for you to open now. I can't believe how much we've missed."
