Things about the radio drama online
The news of Yao Yingmo and Shi Xuze's relationship spread rapidly in the radio drama and novel circles.
People both familiar and unfamiliar were congratulating me, and the message notifications on my phone never stopped for a whole week.
Yao Yingmo is better off. She has a small circle of friends. Even well-known authors on the same website can mostly only send private messages to her on Weibo. As long as she chooses not to read them, she can pretend that these disturbing concerns do not exist.
Shi Xuze, on the other hand, couldn't handle it. He was popular and sociable, and most of the radio drama community kept asking him if his story was true. For the first two days after he finally found his partner, he was brimming with joy, eager to show off. But then, the constant barrage of news got to him, and he became incredibly annoyed.
Finally, Shi Xuze announced that he would go into seclusion and refuse to receive any news, citing the fact that "Starry Sky" had entered the final polishing period. Only then did he finally have some peace and quiet.
"Starry Sky" was successfully launched amidst a chorus of excitement and anticipation.
On the day of going online, after dinner, Shi Xuze stayed at Yao Yingmo's house, chatting about everything under the sun, without any particular focus.
When you are in love, meaningless small talk is necessary.
Yao Yingmo sat in the living room and chatted with him for a whole hour, during which time she also cut fruit and made fruit yogurt as a snack.
As time passed, Shi Xuze's eyes became vague and his conversation became incoherent.
"Can I make the yogurt myself? I have a refrigerator at home."
"Should I buy an electric rice cooker?"
"I'll bring my dad's tea next time."
"Can we find some time to go out and play?"
"There's something really funny, let me tell you..."
Yao Yingmo frowned when he heard this.
Shi Xuze was so tired that he was talking nonsense.
She kindly reminded, "Aren't you going to the station to record tomorrow morning? Why don't you go back and rest early?"
Shi Xuze paused, his hands waving nervously, "Ah... it's for recording, but it's okay, I'm not tired, and I'll be full of energy tomorrow. I... yes! I just want to chat with you more, I want to stay with you for a while."
Yao Yingmo's face flushed, but his words became more and more determined. "Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or even a year from now, ten years from now, you can stay with me, and we will chat for many days. What you should do now is go home, wash up and go to bed."
"I..." Shi Xuze said, "I'm not tired."
"But your words are illogical." Yao Yingmo admitted.
Shi Xuze scratched his head and said, "Just wait a little longer, just a little longer."
He really wanted to stay.
Yao Yingmo followed his wandering gaze and found that the focus was always on the clock on the wall.
She caught a spark of inspiration.
"What are you waiting for?" Yao Yingmo asked bluntly.
They are already in a relationship and their relationship is different. She doesn't want to guess, nor does she think she should guess.
Misunderstandings always arise from speculation. There is no need for that.
"Oh." Shi Xuze was annoyed. He was still discovered.
He stammered, "I just want to..."
Yao Yingmo adjusted her sitting posture, half-supported her head, and waited attentively for him to finish speaking.
"Today... Starry Sky is online."
Yao Yingmo exclaimed, "I remember, it's ten o'clock tonight."
Shi Xuze: "I want to listen to it with you first."
Yao Yingmo suddenly realized, "Just say it directly."
Shi Xuze: "I didn't hear you mention it, so I thought you didn't know."
Yao Yingmo turned on her phone and showed it to him, "I set a reminder."
"Can we listen to it together?"
Yao Yingmo nodded, "Of course."
Shi Xuze jumped up from the sofa, "I'll go get ready!"
Yao Yingmo held him back and said, "Let's go to your house. I only have headphones at home, so we can't listen together. Only your equipment can do that."
Shi Xuze: "Oh ok, let's go there now."
Yao Yingmo: "Okay, let's move our position."
Shi Xuze walked briskly, half jumping and half running, his whole body exuding anticipation and excitement.
Yao Yingmo followed slowly behind, his lips unconsciously curved upwards.
Shi Xuze's studio.
Yao Yingmo sat next to him, tilting his head to watch him set up the computer and operate the equipment.
"It's going online today. As the director and chief planner, don't you have to stay in the studio to oversee it?"
I can actually stay at home with her and just listen and enjoy.
"The files are uploaded to the platform in advance, and someone is assigned to monitor the backend to ensure that they are online on time."
Shi Xuze explained seriously, "Of course, we need to pay attention to the audience's comments after the first episode goes online. Xiquan and his team will pay close attention to this."
"What we need to do is first listen carefully to this episode. After that, we will have an online meeting where everyone will give their opinions and take online comments into account. We will then discuss whether there are any parts that need to be revised or whether the number of subsequent episodes should be adjusted accordingly."
Yao Yingmo understood, "So you asked me to work with you?"
The team also needs to refer to the opinions of her as the original author.
"No, that's not what I meant." Shi Xuze said, "I just... want to share it with you."
After getting along with Yao Yingmo for so long, he has long discovered that Yao Yingmo, who has written many best-selling romance novels, is actually a person with almost no romantic cells in real life.
But he was still fascinated by it.
"This is the first work we produced together. It's like... our child. I hope we can witness the first second of his birth into the world together."
Yao Yingmo paused, "I'm sorry."
She ruined the atmosphere.
She quickly tried to make amends, "I, I was very happy that you invited me to listen to it. It's just... I sensed that you were looking forward to it."
Shi Xuze chuckled, "So cute."
But, cute?
Before, she was the one who commented that others were cute, but this was the first time someone called her cute, and that person was Shi Xuze.
Yao Yingmo's cheeks were burning.
"I always feel that you are becoming more and more relaxed in front of me." Shi Xuze said, "Occasionally seeing you panic and at a loss makes me feel that everything is much more real."
Yao Yingmo was not used to the sudden reversal of roles between the two.
She pursed her lips in dissatisfaction and changed the subject abruptly, "It's almost time, are you ready?"
Shi Xuze laughed again, but after being glared at by Yao Yingmo, he forced the curve of his mouth to flatten, but he couldn't hide the curve at the corner of his eyes.
He put on headphones for Yao Yingmo and put on the same style of headphones himself. He then moved their chairs closer together and instructed Yao Yingmo to look at the countdown on the screen.
In a few seconds, the "Starry Sky" radio drama will be officially launched.
Yao Yingmo swallowed subconsciously.
Logically speaking, her novels have been adapted into several radio dramas, so she shouldn't be so nervous.
Maybe "Starry Sky" is the first radio drama that she followed throughout and even participated in the recording. It may also be because too many things happened during the production period. Of course, it may also be that she was infected by Shi Xuze's emotions.
"Starry Sky" is Shi Xuze's first work after his transformation into a dubbing director. It is also his first attempt to take over the studio. It is an important step for him to prove himself and build confidence, and it means a lot to him.
Yao Yingmo knew that she absolutely did not want to see Shi Xuze disappointed and frustrated. He should be full of energy and high spirits.
She hopes that "Starry Sky" will have a very good response, so that the big boy beside her will emit a brighter light.
Although on the surface she was the one who took care of Shi Xuze most of the time, in fact, it was Shi Xuze who broke into her life and illuminated her dark and cramped existence.
She is determined to protect this brilliance.
She turned her head and saw Shi Xuze's face was calm, but his fingers were about to dig a hole in the armrest of the chair.
She reached out and pressed her hand on his, freeing the armrest from his grasp, then turned his hand over and clasped her fingers one by one.
Shi Xuze's heart, which was about to jump out of his throat, slowly subsided.
At the same time, the countdown on the screen reached zero seconds.
He clicked play.
＊
The playback progress bar reaches the end and the ending theme song starts playing.
The music was still playing when a call request from the online conference software popped up in the upper right corner of the webpage.
Yao Yingmo glanced at him and saw that Shi Xuze didn't move, so he ignored him and listened quietly to the theme song and the entire radio drama.
Shi Xuze didn't close the webpage until the last piano sound ended.
"The radio drama is very well done." Yao Yingmo gave a thumbs up and praised loudly.
She didn't simply want to make Shi Xuze happy, but she sincerely thought that this radio drama sounded better than she expected.
Shi Xuze chuckled twice and accepted her compliment.
"I succeeded."
"You succeeded."
Being stared at by Yao Yingmo with eyes of pure admiration, warmth slowly rose up Shi Xuze's cheeks.
Just at this moment, the call request popped up again. Shi Xuze coughed lightly, looked away, clicked to accept the call request, and then clicked on many different setting options on the screen. He felt very busy.
After finishing the settings, he took off his headphones, turned around, and reached out to take off the headphones on Yao Yingmo's head as well.
Yao Yingmo blinked at him in confusion.
Shi Xuze explained: "We can just share a microphone for the meeting."
Yao Yingmo touched the back of his ear where Shi Xuze's fingertips had brushed against him, nodded, and said nothing.
"Hello, Guangguang, you're too slow to answer." Luo Jiayou's voice came from the speaker, "Everyone is waiting for you."
Shi Xuze denied the accusation, "Including the theme song, it just finished playing."
"Okay, that's a good reason. By the way, didn't you say you wanted to invite Teacher Zhaohe to share his thoughts? We've sent a copy of the conference link to the group. Please remind Teacher Zhaohe to check his phone."
Yao Yingmo said, "I'm here."
Luo Jiayou was obviously choked, and paused for a few seconds before saying: "Oh well, then let's get started, Xiquan."
The scene cut to Xiquan's computer screen. "The discussion seems positive right now. The comments section below the audio clip are very friendly. Excluding those urging updates, the majority are positive. There are only a few that mention some details from later episodes, but those actually foreshadow the subsequent plot. My advice is to ignore them. As for Weibo and other major social media platforms, the popularity of the term 'Starry Sky' is clearly rising. It might even become a trending search topic after tonight."
The screen returned to black, and Xiquan said, "If Mr. Zhaohe could help forward it or write a few words to recommend it, the popularity would be further increased."
Yao Yingmo: "No problem."
Even though they received rave reviews, after calming down a bit, they still had a professional discussion on the areas that could be improved.
Yao Yingmo didn't understand, so he just listened quietly at the side, watching Shi Xuze's handsome look as he gave orders.
Shi Xuze tried hard to ignore the burning gazes around him and forced himself to focus on his work.
He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the meeting ended with enthusiastic mutual congratulations.
Yao Yingmo: "Congratulations."
Shi Xuze: "Can I ask you for some rewards?"
Yao Yingmo raised her eyebrows. She was familiar with the lines. The radio drama would probably have the male lead Song Han speak in two episodes.
"Of course, what reward do you want?" She also responded with the lines of the heroine Liang Yue.
Shi Xuze stood up from his chair and slowly leaned towards Yao Yingmo.
Her breathing was slightly stagnant, her eyes were wide open, and she watched Shi Xuze's actions intently.
Finally, she was embraced by a pair of strong arms, and warmth surrounded her body.
Yao Yingmo's breathing became smooth again, but a hint of regret flashed across his eyes.
After a moment, she curled the corners of her lips, raised her hand and reached behind Shi Xuze, responding to him with a gentle hug.
I wonder if Shi Xuze will feel regretful when he thinks about what reward Song Han wanted in that plot.
