When Jiang Lai came out of the recording studio, she felt that she was not the kind of person who could do this job.

Admittedly, doing voice-over work for radio dramas has its own kind of fun, but she feels that it's still not suitable for her.

Bai Luxi had been in the lounge area on the third floor. When she saw Jiang Lai come out, she quickly went up to her and asked, "How are you feeling?"

Jiang Lai shook her head: "It's okay, but I don't think it's good."

"What does it mean?"

"After several takes, I finally met Director Fu's requirements, but I don't think I'm cut out for this job."

"You're a newcomer! This is normal! Fu An often talks about other people too, don't take his words to heart." Bai Luxi didn't take it seriously. She had already learned to let Fu An's words go in one ear and out the other, forgetting them as soon as they passed her ears.

Just then, Fu An came out from inside. Bai Luxi quickly shut her mouth and changed the subject, "How about we have dinner together tonight?"

"Huh?" Jiang Lai asked, "Didn't we just eat lunch?"

"No, it's the same group from the radio drama going together. There are still some people who aren't here. We'll just send a few people this time. We'll have a wrap party after the radio drama is finished."

"I'm fine with it." Jiang Lai thought it would be good to make more friends.

"Then let's go! Where's Director Fu?"

Fu An did not refuse: "Go."

"Then let's tell Boss Yan and go!" Bai Luxi said happily.

-

There were thirteen people in total at the dinner party.

"I'm really afraid this is the last supper!" 001 said cheekily.

"If you can't speak properly, then shut up!"

Because there were too many people, they decided to go to a buffet.

"Look at that long table, doesn't it look even more like it?" "Is there any way for me to block you?" "No, hehe."

Jiang Lai doesn't eat much; she doesn't like things that are too sweet or too oily. There weren't many things at the buffet that suited her taste, but she didn't want to spoil the mood, so she took a little bit.

Jiang Lai received a notification on her phone. She opened it and saw that her roommate was asking her in the group chat when she was going back to the dorm.

She typed: "Eating now, going to karaoke later, probably going home around 11 pm!"

Tang Li: Then be careful!

Zhao Ying: Call me if you have any problems!

Li Xiangyue: Yes!

Jiang Lai: OK, OK!

After dinner, everyone went to a karaoke bar. They partied until after 10 p.m., when Jiang Lai decided to go back. The dormitory curfew was 11:30 p.m., and if she stayed any later, she wouldn't be able to get back.

Just then, Bai Luxi finished singing a song, and Jiang Lai sidled up to her, saying, "Sis!! I'm going back!!"

Bai Luxi turned to look at her: "So early!?"

"There's a curfew!" Jiang Lai had to raise her voice, otherwise Bai Luxi wouldn't be able to hear her.

"Then I'll take you!" Bai Luxi said, getting up. She had brought the person out, so of course she had to bring her back safely.

"No need, no need! It's not too late yet, I can just take a taxi myself."

"How can that be? How can anyone feel at ease leaving a young girl like you alone at night?"

"Really, you don't need to—"

“I’ll take her home,” Fu An said, standing up after hearing their conversation. “My home is on the way to Imperial University.”

Bai Luxi, who had been insisting that it was absolutely unacceptable for Jiang Lai to go home alone so late, looked at Fu An after hearing this.

"That's true, Director Fu's house is indeed on the way. But have you been drinking? Are you sure you can drive?"

“I never drink,” Fu An said calmly. “It’s good for protecting my voice. It’s really time for me to go to bed now, and I was planning to leave anyway.”

“You’re not doing voice acting anymore…that’s quite impressive self-control.” Bai Luxi said, handing the choice over to Jiang Lai: “Then let my sister choose!”

001: "Who should I choose? Both are potential romance options."

Jiang Lai looked at Fu An: "Then I'll trouble Director Fu. Sister Bai, you can continue having fun."

She could tell that Fu An wasn't very interested in the party, and that Bai Luxi genuinely wanted to continue having fun for a while longer.

Bai Luxi whispered in Jiang Lai's ear, "Sis, are you sure? Although I don't want to break up yet, it's really unnecessary for you to choose Fu An for my sake!"

"It's really alright, let Director Fu give you a ride! It's on his way, isn't it convenient?"

"Alright!" Seeing Jiang Lai's insistence, Bai Luxi stopped arguing. "Let me know when you get to your dorm safely, and call me if anything comes up."

"Okay, sure," Jiang Lai replied obediently.

Fu An was already preparing to leave the private room. "Let's go."

Jiang Lai followed behind him, and the two walked through the dimly lit KTV. The singing from the private room echoed through the walls. No one knew whose singing voice was so "soulful" and so noisy that it gave people a headache.

The two quickly walked out of the KTV. The difference between the air outside and inside instantly made them feel much more awake. The night at 10:30 was much more comfortable than during the day. Without the noisy music, Jiang Lai let out a long sigh of relief.

"Let's go to the parking lot together." The area outside the KTV was chaotic, and Fu An didn't want to leave her waiting there alone.

“Okay.” Jiang Lai walked with him to the underground parking lot.

"Beep beep—" The headlights of a black sedan flashed twice.

Jiang Lai hesitated for a moment, but still sat in the front.

The car drove out of the parking lot and onto the road. Jiang Lai opened the car window, and the evening breeze blew in.

All the streetlights on both sides of the road were lit up. The dim light shone through the roadside trees and fell on the ground in patches of mottled marks. The light was faint and sometimes fell on Jiang Lai's face.

Fu Anmo glanced at her silently, "Don't stand in the wind, aren't you afraid of getting a headache?"

"Hmm? Okay." Jiang Lai immediately sat up straight, placing her hands on her knees.

She's quite well-behaved. Fu An glanced at her again.

The car slowly came to a stop on the side of the road.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Lai asked.

Fu An got out of the car. "Wait here for a moment."

"Oh, okay." Jiang Lai guessed that Fu An had something to do, so she didn't pay much attention.

After a while, he returned, carrying an exquisitely packaged bag.

"What is this?" Jiang Lai stared curiously at the bag in his hand.

Fu An handed her the food, "Are you hungry?"

"!" Jiang Lai's eyes widened in surprise. "For me?"

As soon as she held it in her hands, she could feel the heat. Jiang Lai looked down and saw that it was a bowl of seafood porridge, wrapped very tightly so that the flavor wouldn't dissipate and it wouldn't get cold.

Why seafood porridge?

"I noticed you only took a little seafood at the buffet tonight." Fu An had seen her frowning as she picked out her food; the girl was quite picky.

"The others are too greasy!" Jiang Lai pouted, her tone carrying a hint of coquetry and grievance, which reached Fu An's ears and made him unconsciously soften his tone.

"So I ordered seafood congee for you. This private chef makes it quite well. The portion isn't large, just enough to fill your stomach. Eating too much at night isn't good either, so don't worry about gaining weight."

"Thank you!" Jiang Lai was genuinely pleasantly surprised, finding Fu An to be quite thoughtful.

Jiang Lai doesn't use her phone while riding in the car because it makes her dizzy. She is indeed tired right now, but she has to force herself not to fall asleep, so she can only find something to do. She looks down at the porridge in her hand, then turns her head to look at Fu An. His shirt is all buttoned up, and his rolled-up sleeves are down. Only now, when she is with him, can she smell the faint fragrance on him.

"It smells really good..." she murmured.

"Hmm?" He heard it and asked in confusion.

"It's nothing—" Jiang Lai chuckled awkwardly, "What perfume are you wearing? It smells quite nice."

Fu An chuckled softly, his voice sexy and magnetic. Only then did Jiang Lai experience his charm as a voice acting master; his laughter was so sweet it melted her heart.

"Stop laughing..." Jiang Lai touched her ears, which were a little hot. She realized for the first time that she was also a sucker for voices. "So what perfume is it?"

"It's not perfume, it's soap." The light was red, and the car stopped. Fu An turned his head and looked at her as she answered earnestly. The interior light shone on his face, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes. His expression was gentle. It was the simplest answer, yet he spoke it with such seriousness. Jiang Lai suddenly felt as if she was being cherished by him.

"Oh—" Jiang Lai shifted uncomfortably, "The light is green."

The car started moving.

001 complained, "Are you even capable?? It's about winning him over, not him winning you over. If I could just track your level of affection for him, wouldn't you have reached the target immediately?"

"Waaaaah, I can't take it! His voice is so nice and he's so gentle. Wouldn't you be confused?"

001: "Waaaah, I'm not confused because I'm not human."

"climb!"

Jiang Lai and 001 were arguing when, before they knew it, the car had arrived at the gate of Imperial University.

"We've arrived," Fu An reminded her.

Jiang Lai quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car, and Fu An followed her out.

"Thank you, Director Fu! I'm going in now! You should go back too! Don't keep you from resting!" Jiang Lai said, about to leave.

“Wait, today…” Fu An walked up to Jiang Lai.

"Hmm?" Jiang Lai looked up at him.

He looked at the girl in front of him with her big, round eyes, like a cat, and suddenly laughed. He wanted to reach out and pat her head twice, but that might be a bit presumptuous, so he held back. He coughed lightly twice to hide his intention from Jiang Lai, put his hands behind his back, and said, "Actually, the dubbing was quite good today."

"Huh? Really? You're not kidding me, are you?" Jiang Lai was a little shorter than Fu An. She looked up and glanced at him suspiciously. Today, he had made her doubt whether the "heavenly voice" given by the system was a fake.

001: "He just doesn't know what's good for him!!!"

Fu An raised an eyebrow, his eyes full of laughter. "You're a newcomer with great talent, but I've seen too many newcomers become complacent because of their talent and end up fading into obscurity. I don't want you to be like that. Besides, you do deserve my higher standards."

Jiang Lai couldn't help but roll her eyes. "I'm a student. I might never even make a living this way in the future. Your high expectations won't help!"

“Okay, I was too strict with you today. If you’re unhappy, I apologize.” Fu An’s expression was very serious. “But no matter what kind of work it is, once you do it, you have to be responsible for it. So, I will still have high expectations for you in the future.”

There were many students coming and going at the school gate, and quite a few people turned their attention to them. There's no way around it, handsome men and beautiful women always attract attention.

Jiang Lai was speechless, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Fine, I understand what you mean, I'll keep trying! If there's nothing else, then I'll go back?"

"Well, go back!"

"Bye-bye~" Jiang Lai waved to him and then ran into the campus.

Fu An stood there watching her go inside, her figure disappearing from his sight, before turning and leaving.

-

"I'm back!" Jiang Lai returned to her dormitory.

My three roommates were still playing on their phones. "It's good that you're back. How were you feeling today?"

"Is it fun at Lingyin's place?"

Jiang Lai sat down, took out her phone, and replied to messages at the same time, "The dubbing feels okay. I'll be going there to record every Friday for the next month. If the progress is fast, it might only take three Fridays."

"Lingyin's working environment is pretty good. If I can't find a job in the future, I might actually be able to go there and make a living."

"Come on, as long as you graduate from our college, you'll be earning a million a year. You're afraid of not having a job? I'm more afraid of you nagging me to death." Tang Li's words were echoed by the other two.

Jiang Lai sent the same message to Bai Luxi and Fu An: "I'm in the dorm! Thanks for today!"

Bai Luxi: It's good that we've arrived. Get some rest!

Fu An: Okay, go to sleep early.

Jiang Lai turned on her computer, intending to watch some more variety shows. She opened the seafood porridge, which was still warm, and the whole dormitory smelled its aroma.

"It smells so good! Where did you buy this?" Tang Li sniffed hard twice. "The ingredients must be very fresh." She's a connoisseur; she can tell the quality of something just by smelling and tasting it.

Jiang Lai stirred it a couple of times with a spoon. "I bought it from outside, I don't know which store it's from, I'll ask next time."

"Oh my?" Tang Li tossed her phone aside. "Who sent it? A man or a woman?"

She sat down next to Jiang Lai, blinking her big eyes and trying to act cute.

Jiang Lai calmly ate her porridge. "A man."

"From school? Or from outside?" "Ugh, you're so nosy!" Zhao Ying gave Tang Li a disdainful look, then said, "It must be from outside. Didn't she just come back from outside?"

"That's Lingyin's!" Li Xiangyue sat down as well. "Who is she?"

Li Xiangyue enjoys reading novels, and some of her favorite novels have been adapted into radio dramas, so she has some knowledge of the voice acting industry and voice actors.

Jiang Lai: "What kind of gossipy roommates are you?!"

"Tell me, tell me!" Everyone was quite curious.

Jiang Lai, worn down by his persistent questioning, had no choice but to tell the truth: "I'm going to Qingshan."

"Who?" x2, it was Tang Li and Zhao Ying.

"My God!" This was Li Xiangyue.

"How to say?"

"Fu Qingshan is a legendary figure, he's moved behind the scenes now, but he was incredibly popular back in the day!"

"It's a CV!" Tang Li's interest waned by half. "I should find a boyfriend from school, that's more fun."

"None of that matters, finding a handsome guy is what matters."

"Fu Qingshan is so handsome!" Li Xiangyue tried to explain the meaning of the name to her two roommates, but the two were not interested.

During this time, Jiang Lai finished her porridge and then went to wash up.

What is Bai Luxi's current level of affection for me?

"72."

Where is Fu An?

"80."

"Sister Bai's favorability is just a little bit short. Next time, I'll think of a way to get closer to her and increase her favorability."

"Keep it up!" 001 was pleased and encouraged her.
