Chapter 43
Add a friend.
When those four words reached Gu Yubai's ears, they were like a landmine, exploding in his mind with a bang.
He actually dared to add Yu Xia as a friend?!
We've only known each other for a day, is there any need to add each other as friends?
“Sure.” Yu Xia took out a piece of paper from her bag, wrote her contact information on it, and handed it to Qiu Yan. “Here you go.”
Gu Yubai: "..."
Qiu Yan reached out and took the note, which was then passed in front of Gu Yubai.
"Okay, this is the first thing I'll add after I get off the plane." Qiu Yan took the note, smiled, and put it in his left pocket.
As he accepted the note, he glanced at Gu Yubai and deliberately made a smirking expression at him, clearly showing his desire for revenge.
I'll teach you a lesson for targeting me! I'll make you suffer too!
After doing all this, Qiu Yan turned her head to the side, leaving him with a disdainful look at the back of her head.
Gu Yubai glanced at the pocket on his left where the note was, and pondered for a moment.
—
After getting off the plane, Qiu Yan, carrying a bag, waved goodbye to Yu Xia warmly.
When he got to Gu Yubai, he wasn't as enthusiastic as before; the cheerful smile he had shown Yu Xia just moments before vanished instantly. He rolled his eyes and gave her a perfunctory goodbye.
Gu Yubai returned the look with an impatient one.
Never again.
Qiu Yan picked up her bag and left.
After he left the airport, he finally had time to take out his phone, thinking of adding Yu Xia as a friend to piss off that guy surnamed Gu.
Just as he reached into his pocket, he stopped.
Empty.
He frowned and peered a little further inside.
He remembered that it was placed here, that's right.
Why isn't it there?
He reached his whole hand inside, feeling around, even turning his pockets inside out, but still nothing.
The pockets that were turned inside out contained nothing but a few pieces of Wrigley's gum.
Did it fall?
Hold.
Qiu Yan grabbed a handful of hair in regret.
At the same time.
The other end of the airport.
Yu Xia was waiting for the car ahead. She had just called and the driver said there was a traffic jam and it would take about ten minutes to arrive.
At the waiting area, yellow cars picking up passengers were also stuck in traffic, forming a long line of vehicles.
Yu Xia stood at the exit where she was waiting for her car, looking back with her phone. Fortunately, the driver was able to find the other car as soon as he arrived, so she could turn around at the intersection below and avoid wasting time driving up again.
Gu Yubai glanced at Yu Xia's back, then slowly pushed his suitcase to a trash can, leisurely took his hand out of his pocket, and loosened his five fingers.
A white slip of paper slipped from his hand and floated lightly into the trash can.
A disdainful smile curled at the corner of Gu Yubai's lips.
A light, thin piece of paper was easily buried by other trash, as if it had never existed.
—
Yu Xia, who had just returned from her business trip, was given a break that afternoon.
After traveling by plane and car, she felt she desperately needed rest. All she could think about was taking a shower and getting some sleep. She had completely forgotten about Qiu Yan wanting to add her as a friend, so she didn't feel anything was wrong when she didn't see the friend request on her phone.
Yu Xia didn't even unpack her luggage; she just threw her suitcase in the living room, quickly washed herself, changed into her pajamas, and collapsed into bed, falling asleep immediately.
Yu Xia slept soundly. When she woke up, the room was dark, and she couldn't tell what time it was.
Yu Xia has high requirements for sleep, so on the first day she moved into this house, she changed the curtains to blackout curtains.
The curtains were drawn tightly, and not a single ray of light could get in.
Yu Xia lifted her blindfold, propped herself up to sit up, reached for her phone on the bedside table, and turned it on.
The moment the glaring light from the phone screen illuminated her eyes, Yu Xia, who was used to the darkness, subconsciously squinted. After her vision returned to normal, she was able to see the time on her phone.
——19:13.
I didn't realize I'd been sleeping for so long.
Yu Xia felt a little dizzy from sleeping, so she threw off the covers and got out of bed.
With a whoosh—
I drew back the curtains; it wasn't completely dark outside yet.
The dim, yellow light from the horizon streamed in, and as Yu Xia opened the window, the damp scent of the air after the rain wafted into her nostrils.
It turns out it rained while I was sleeping.
No wonder you slept so comfortably.
Yu Xia stretched and slowly turned on the bedroom light.
She took the phone and unlocked it.
Yu Xia was so focused on checking the time when she woke up that she only realized there were several messages on her phone when she opened it now.
It was sent by Tang Chi, asking her what her plans were lately.
Yu Xia briefly told her about her arrangements and casually asked when her performance in Nancheng would end.
After exiting, my phone pushed another message.
It was sent from the Baihe fan group she joined.
[Family! There's an officially organized offline event tonight at 8:30 PM in XXXX, Yunping District, Beicheng! Attendees can receive Baihe merchandise! Rumor has it that the organizer is Honghai Company, the major company that collaborates with most voice actors, and there might even be other live voice actors present!]
[We should all know each other in the CV department, right? What if we run into a CV instructor who knows Bai He? That's practically like we've met Bai He before! And if they're on good terms with Bai He, they might even pass on a message for us!]
[Ahhh! Any girls in Yunping District want to join me?]
Upon seeing the words "Baihe Surrounding Area," Yu Xia immediately felt her backache disappear, her waist pain vanish, and her mind clear up. She became energetic, quickly got up, changed her clothes, put on makeup, grabbed her bag, and rushed out the door.
—
The location is the convention hall in Yunping District.
It's very close to Yu Xia.
I estimate that many people have received the message.
When Yu Xia arrived, the entrance to the convention center was already packed with people of all ages.
Everyone was dressed beautifully; some wore gorgeous gowns, some were cosplaying, and some were carrying itabags.
Upon seeing the ita-bag, Yu Xia sighed in annoyance, realizing she had forgotten to bring her own child along, making it difficult to reunite with her fellow fans.
But it doesn't matter, as long as she can recognize the organization.
The exhibition space was vast, and the bright lights illuminated the entire venue as if it were daytime.
It's no different from holding an event in broad daylight.
Fifteen minutes before the official start of the event, several staff members wearing name tags were checking the final booth locations in the exhibition hall, carrying boxes back and forth and arranging the corresponding merchandise.
There were already spontaneous fans nearby preparing to distribute promotional materials.
This is where the ita-bag comes in very handy, allowing you to quickly identify your own people and find your group.
Yu Xia simply approached, and although she didn't have any identification information belonging to the organization, she was quickly asked by her fellow fans, "Hey, sister, are you a fan of Bai He?"
Yu Xia had just nodded when, without saying another word, he was stuffed with materials.
"Quickly, quick, take this, every sister present should get one."
Driven by someone, before Yu Xia could even react when the first item appeared in her hands, a second, a third, and a fourth arrived. People were exchanging items, exchanging materials with those who had them and forcing others to give them to them if they didn't. The point was to share her materials, and even people who were just passing by were given a piece of material.
Please give our teacher Baihe lots of support!
Every girl's face was beaming with a joyful and beautiful smile.
Yu Xia's hands were also stuffed with a large amount of materials.
Everything is handmade, including cards, hand-woven flowers, self-printed meme-inspired illustrations, and even commissioned merchandise.
Everything was made exquisitely and beautifully.
Yu Xia was so moved she wanted to cry.
My partner is truly a good person.
Unfortunately, she arrived in a hurry and was unprepared.
Many of the attendees had made flyers for their idols and handed them out to everyone they met, advertising as they went: "Don't miss out! Check out our walking Hermes crocodile skin teacher, Bai He. You can listen to it as a joke."
Yu Xia also went over to hawk her wares and was quickly stuffed with a stack of flyers.
“Come on, sisters! Our task today is to send all of these out,” Tongdan said.
“Okay.” Yu Xia replied with high spirits.
When you integrate into a group with the same interests, you don't need to do anything special. Just stand there, and the enthusiasm of those who share your interests will flood in like the sea and surround you.
There was no nervousness or shyness, only the happiness of being in sync with each other.
Everyone gathered here is here for the same person and for the same joy.
After an unknown amount of time, when Yu Xia only had half of her order form left, she suddenly heard a voice from inside the booth: "Quick, quick! The official booth is open! Sisters, you can go and get your materials!"
"Other voice actors are here too, and they're having an event inside. Sisters who want to collect their photos should hurry over!"
These words immediately ignited everyone's excitement. Everyone stopped what they were doing, stopped distributing materials, and excitedly rushed inside.
"Let's go! Let's get the things."
"I want to collect stamps! I want to collect stamps!"
"Wait for me, Baihe, I'm coming!"
Baihe's stall was so popular that even though I arrived as soon as it opened, there was still a long queue.
Fortunately, the organizers prepared plenty of merchandise. Everyone filled out their information on a piece of paper and then received their assigned portion of merchandise.
Because there were many varieties, the staff members each took two randomly.
This led to many people exchanging merchandise after receiving their items, trying to collect the ones they liked.
Yu Xia received a blue doll and a chibi character design card. One of her fellow fans really liked the chibi character design and came over to ask Yu Xia if she could trade with her.
Yu Xia agreed.
Several voice actors wandered around the various booths, getting caught by fans to take photos with each one. Even those who weren't fans came over to collect photos.
Several teachers were surrounded in the middle, raising their ever-present peace signs and maintaining the same pose. After colliding with one person, they immediately moved on to the next. At the end, they didn't forget to bow and thank the person. Occasionally, when fans teased them, they would show a very surprised expression on their faces, revealing an honest helplessness, just like toys in E's hands, which amused many people present.
"Come on, come on, get an autograph!" A girl in a Lolita dress called out cheerfully from not far away.
To leave their mark and commemorate this wonderful day, many people print their own banners and invite fellow attendees to sign them.
A huge red banner read, "In the voice acting industry, everyone who meets Bai He offers him a cigarette." Many people have already signed the banner.
Yu Xia also signed her name.
[Summer]
Each golden signature falls on the red background like a dazzling butterfly, bringing the simple banner to life.
The event is almost over, and Yu Xia has gained a lot from this trip.
She packed the day's haul into her bag, completely satisfied.
However, just as she finished washing her hands, came out of the bathroom, dried the water stains, and was about to carry her bag home with her purchases, two figures walked out of the corridor.
Yu Xia paused in her steps.
Not far away, a slightly overweight middle-aged man walked beside a tall, slender young man, a smile plastered on his square face, and they were talking.
The young man beside him turned his head slightly to listen to him speak, allowing Yu Xia to see the man's face.
It felt clear, yet somewhat familiar.
Why does it feel like I've seen this somewhere before?
Looking further up, Yu Xia was stunned when she saw the face clearly.
That's her boss, Gu Yubai, whom she had just gone on a business trip with!
Seeing the two people opposite her moving in this direction, Yu Xia subconsciously dodged.
What's he doing here?
Does he also follow celebrities?
Before Yu Xia could think any further, the next second, as the two passed by the restroom, she clearly heard the middle-aged man say to Gu Yubai:
"Teacher Baihe, what do you think of this event?"
