I Helped My Best Friend with Her Romance—and Fell for the Enemy’s Strategist - Chapter 69

“Since you two are together now, you should treat each other well. This path isn’t easy to walk. Xiao Xi, if you dare bully Xiao Chengzi, the teacher will definitely scold you. And Xiao Chengzi, if she ever bullies you, make sure to tell me, I’ll stand up for you.”

The homeroom teacher pretended to glare fiercely at Fu Yanxi.

“I won’t.”

Her reply was as brief and cold as ever.

She never would have imagined these two ending up together.

Fu Yanxi had been steeping goji berries in her thermos since her teens.

One was a typical chatterbox.

The other was notoriously reticent.

Cold, always wearing an icy expression.

That they got together was completely unexpected.

But since they’re together now, all she can do is wish them well.

Still, the road ahead won’t be easy.

“Teacher, she wouldn’t dare, she’s too busy adoring me~”

The homeroom teacher smiled at Lin Ruocheng.

Back in school, I often wondered who this kid would end up with.

Never thought it’d be the quiet Fu Yanxi.

“You, agreeing to her confession, wasn’t that a bit too hasty?”

Luckily, it was Fu Yanxi. If it were anyone else, I’d probably be even more worried.

But with Fu Yanxi, I’m completely at ease. That kid has been rigid and old-fashioned since she was little.

Not bad, at least nothing outrageous will happen.

“What could I do, Teacher? She’s Fu Yanxi, after all.”

“Besides, when you meet someone you like, you have to seize the chance, right, Teacher?”

“Yes, yes, yes.”

After the meal, the two said goodbye to the teacher.

Lin Ruocheng got into the passenger seat, smiling at Fu Yanxi.

“What are you smiling at? Is there something on my face?”

“There is something.”

“What is it?”

Fu Yanxi quickly took out a mirror to check if there was anything left on her lips.

“Devotion. I just found out you’ve had a crush on me for seven years? Seven whole years! Let me ask you, what do I like?”

“You like bright red, you like Jay Chou, you enjoy listening to yuri audio dramas, and… you’re supposed to like me…”

The last part was spoken with hesitation.

She wasn’t sure if she made the cut in the other’s affections.

Because she liked her so much, she always weighed her words.

“Silly, it’s ‘you really like me,’ not ‘supposed to.’ There’s no ‘supposed to’, it’s ‘really like.’ Say it again.”

“You really like me.”

Fu Yanxi’s voice was firmer this time.

Lin Ruocheng had always been fond of Stream-sensei’s voice, both her professional dubbing tone and her natural voice.

As for whether they were suited for each other, only time would tell.

So far, the experience had been pleasant.

Lin Ruocheng glanced at her phone: 2 p.m.

Students were trickling into school, bundled up like zongzi, reminding her of her own childhood.

She hadn’t been very tall back then.

And afraid of the cold, she was constantly swaddled by her two mothers.

Layered left and right, afraid she’d freeze.

By the end, it was hard to even walk.

Her younger sister, Lin Shuyi, on the other hand, never felt the cold, bouncing around like a lively monkey.

Their mother often joked that she’d given birth to a little rascal.

“Let’s go.”

“Where to?”

“The recording studio. I’ll take you to a live session and introduce you to Xu Qingzhou.”

Lin Ruocheng nodded. Perfect timing, she wanted to discuss a collaboration with her anyway.

And the work of a voice actor…

I’m really looking forward to it.

Especially today, since I’ll get to meet the other two voice actors, perfect timing to sell our CP pairing.

Fu Yanxi is about to enter the recording booth to work on the audio drama.

It’s what they call the kick-off ceremony.

Perfect timing, she just checked it out.

Her girlfriend’s new yuri audio drama has already gained a million followers just from promotional content.

Even before any voice work has been released, just a few short teasers have attracted this much attention.

That’s pretty impressive.

No wonder people say she has a huge fandom of dreamers.

And it’s true, there are tons of them, not just a handful.

On Douyin, even though she hasn’t posted any content, just by registering an account, with the username “Stream CV,” and a plain white profile picture, identical to her WeChat avatar like a blank sheet of paper, she’s already amassed twenty million followers.

Of course, most of them followed because of her voice, but recently, many have been drawn in by her first offline photos and videos. Honestly, turning a hobby into something this popular is no small feat.

Sometimes, Lin Ruocheng wonders, what flaw could heaven possibly have given her?

How is she so good at everything she does?

Lin herself only has a few hundred thousand followers, even though she shows her face openly.

She posts her outfits, but for some reason, the comments are always flooded with things like:

“Mommy! Let me worship you!”

“Mommy, check my qualifications, please?”

“Everyone, keep your pants dry, this is my wife, I called dibs!”

“…”

Who knows? Maybe one of those comments is from her girlfriend using a burner account.

But who can say for sure?

The car stopped in front of a building.

Fu Yanxi took out her access card from her bag and hung it around her neck.

She draped her coat over her arm, stood by the card reader, and let Lin Ruocheng enter first, then followed her in.

“Let’s go, they’re on the third floor.”

“Okay, okay.” Lin Ruocheng had collaborated with a few voice actors before, but she’d never been to a voice acting studio like this.”

After all, her previous voice acting work only required a few lines.

As long as the voice actor recorded a few sentences casually, she could use them.

Most of the time, after the voice actors finished recording, they’d send over the audio files. Once she confirmed they were usable, she’d transfer the payment, simple and straightforward.

That’s why many voice actors were happy to work with her.

“Oh, Xiao Xi is here? And this must be your girlfriend? Not bad, you really lucked out.”

Xu Qingzhou had long, wavy black hair, wore a knee-length black sweater dress paired with a long black trench coat, and black knee-high boots.

Her laugh was bold and unrestrained, completely different from the mature, gentle woman who had been sitting on the sofa earlier.

“Hello, I’m Xu Qingzhou, the voice director for this series.””

Xu Qingzhou immediately stepped forward to shake her hand.

As for Fu Yanxi?

She was already forgotten.

Come on, sure, Fu Yanxi is wealthy, but Lin Ruocheng is the client she’s collaborating with this time, the one calling the shots!

She knows which side her bread is buttered on.

“Wanru is already here. Once you two sync up, we can get started.”

“Which studio?”

“Studio One, of course. Aren’t you the top dom? Then please, take your place, mighty one.”

Fu Yanxi shot her a glance.

“Watch your words. Don’t scare my girlfriend away.”

She gave a quick reminder before entering the booth.

Afraid that his girlfriend might disappear by the time he came out.

“It’s fine. If she runs away, I’ll just get you another one. Just kidding, hurry up and go in.”

Fu Yanxi lingered reluctantly but eventually walked in.

The studio was quite spacious, with several large rooms.

It was his first time seeing the detailed process of recording a radio drama.

Honestly, it was quite fascinating.
