Exclusive Rights to an Online Voice Actor

The time I set with Qi Yu was seven o'clock in the evening, and the location was in the north of the city.

Because Qi Jin said in the text message that there is still a kitten in the residence, he was afraid that there would be problems if he left for too long, so he had to solve it nearby.

Ning Xiaoxiao agreed without hesitation.

In fact, about an hour after she hung up the phone, she received a text message from Qi Yu, knowing that the little helper had agreed to come out for dinner, she was ecstatic, so excited that even the half-dried mud mask burst from laughter.She would be willing to take a taxi around the city at her own expense, not to mention it's only a 10-minute bus ride.

In addition, Qi Jin has a special request.

"I chose a restaurant that is quieter and the seating design is more private. The only downside is that the consumption is a little higher. If my younger sister doesn't mind, I will treat you to dinner" - these are the original words of Qi Jin.

While drawing eyeliner in the vanity mirror, Ning Xiaoxiao wondered about his weird additional condition.

Of course, if the senior brother is willing to treat him, she is more than happy to go along with it.

The north of the city is the old city. The urban planning had not started back then, the streets and alleys were relatively narrow, and the architectural layout was not as well-organized as the new city.After getting off the bus, Ning Xiaoxiao took a little effort to find the right place.

It was just past six forty-five.

After autumn, the days are short and the nights are long. At this moment, the setting sun has completely sunk, and the thin layer of hazy yellow attached to the city outline has gradually disappeared, and black seeps up.The infrastructure in the old city is outdated, and the street lamps look weak and weak, barely able to illuminate the road.The neighborhood is dominated by residential areas, and most of the businesses are daily necessities, small shops and other cheap shops, and there are no colorful neon lights along the way.

"Little helper lived in such a place... What a surprise." Ning Xiaoxiao was dressed in an urban chic lady's outfit, stepping on high heels on the asphalt road, muttering to herself.

She thought that the one who was able to take good care of Qi Jin must be a successful man who lived in a high-end apartment, had a car and money.

She even made up her mind frequently that she met a real rich second generation, and she felt pity for him when he was hurt, and took the initiative to take care of him like in the TV series, just thinking about it made her intoxicated.

But it seems that this is not the case at all...

Moreover, she has always met Qi Jin either near his residence, or in the bustling downtown area near the provincial TV station. She is used to high-rise buildings and various fashionable modern elements, and now she suddenly changed her style. I don't quite get used to it.

However, Qi Jin obviously accommodated her a bit in this regard, because the place he chose was not bad.

The restaurant in front of me is a health-preserving restaurant in name, but in fact it also sells a variety of famous teas, and it is also used as a teahouse at ordinary times.The appearance of this place looks a bit higher than the ordinary home cooking restaurants seen along the road, the location is close to the main road, not a small street, and the interior decoration is elegant.It's a bit plain, but the first impression it gives is quite good.

"I didn't expect it to be okay here, although it's not as good as the health-preserving studio near my house." Ning Xiaoxiao looked around the surrounding layout, and the scoring system automatically started.

On the way, Qi Yu sent her a text message, saying that he and his little helper had arrived early, and had chosen a table, and asked her to go up to the second floor and turn to the left of the stairs, and just walk inside.

She didn't intend to send a text message to tell the other party that she had arrived, but went upstairs on her own, and walked about seven or eight seats in the direction he said, and finally saw Qi Jin.It turns out that his so-called "more privacy-oriented" seating design actually means that the seats at two adjacent tables are placed back-to-back, with a black lacquered screen in the middle, which can block the sight of many people around.

Ning Xiaoxiao's sight was also half blocked.

Through the screen, she saw Qi Jin's face and most of her body, but the other party didn't notice her at all, because his gaze was always on the position beside him.

Ning Xiaoxiao subconsciously stopped, and quietly stood aside to watch.

From her perspective, she couldn't see the person next to Qi Jin, she didn't know what the other person looked like, how she looked, and how she behaved, but the expression on Qi Jin's face had already taken her by surprise.

It was a completely different expression from the last time they met in the hospital.

Not only the expression, but also the mental state has completely changed.

Ning Xiaoxiao remembered Qi Jin's state clearly at that time, her whole body seemed to be integrated with the cold white wall in the hospital, she shouted a few words in response, as if her language had been hollowed out, and she was so quiet that it was scary the point.

That Qi Jin was haggard and decadent, unkempt, with messy hair and beard, looking distressed.

And at this moment, the Qi Chen in front of me seemed to come back to life, well-dressed and well-groomed, and he was back to his usual gentle self—even brighter and more vivid, with smiles on his brows and eyes, just like the old man. The pool of stagnant water was hit by a stone, and there was light in the ripples.

It's so dazzling.

He seemed to be discussing something happy, listening attentively for a while, and laughing heartily at the corners of his eyes.During the whole process, the expression is lively and natural, and the gaze is bright, but the eyes just stay in the same place from the beginning to the end, without changing.

The distance was a bit far, she couldn't hear what they were talking about, but she was sure that Qi Jin's voice was very pleasant.

For a moment, he smiled to the end, his eyelids drooped slightly, and he leaned his head against it.The face disappeared from her view for a moment, presumably on the shoulder of the person next to her.

Ning Xiaoxiao was stunned, staring at all this in a daze.

She had never seen Qi Jin like this before.

In other words, she had seen his similar expressions in college, but it was as thin as a painting on paper, and it would be broken if it was torn lightly. It was far less clear and real than it is now. The carvings chiseled in stone are so solid.

After a while, Qi Jin's face was back in her line of sight.

He was still smiling slightly, and inadvertently raised his eyes, and suddenly met her ignorant gaze.He was taken aback for a moment, not knowing how long she had been observing him, his face burned, and he couldn't help coughing twice: "Xiaoxiao...Why don't you text me when you're here?"

"Because it's not far from the bus station, I just came here." She hurried up to meet her.

After walking two or three steps forward, Ning Xiaoxiao finally saw the legendary little helper Jun - completely different from the tall, rich and handsome she had imagined. None of them are eye-catching, but they can be watched together for a long time inexplicably without getting tired of looking at them, and the more you look at them, the more you will feel that there is a gentle texture flowing out slowly, moistening things silently.

Hearing the sound of her high-heeled shoes clicking, the man raised his head and met her eyes.So he stood up gently, and his voice was a little low, but very polite: "Hello."

In addition, he didn't say a word of the daily scene in the social field.

It seems that this person is not very good at communicating with strangers, he is completely opposite to his senior brother... Such a duo is really amazing.Ning Xiaoxiao was surprised from the bottom of her heart, she replied "Hello", and then continued to look at him directly.

Probably because she was not used to being stared at like this, Shen Yan lowered her eyes slightly, but still stood upright.

Knowing that he was restrained, Qi Zhen tapped his arm with a smile, and reminded: "Don't be nervous, Xiao Xiao is a friend I have known for many years, an old acquaintance. You are welcome, just chat in a normal way."

Ning Xiaoxiao hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, just chatting in a normal way."

Shen Yan nodded when she heard the words, and waited until Ning Xiaoxiao sat down opposite and put away her handbag before returning to her seat.

The second floor of this Yangsheng Zhai is a special hot pot place, where guests can choose the soup base and ingredients by themselves.

Now that everyone is here, Qi Yu fulfills the principle of ladies first very gentlemanly, and pushes the menu to Ning Xiaoxiao, asking her to choose what she likes.No matter the price or quantity, he pleases.

Ning Xiaoxiao pretended to be a lady with a wide smile for a few seconds.

However, once she opened the menu, her foodie's true nature was revealed, and she ordered a bunch of things in a very unladylike manner.

Qi Yan watched her swallowing at the picture with a smile, turned over the teacup for her in a calm manner, and was about to reach for the teapot, but Shen Yan had already lifted the teapot for him and poured tea.Qi Qi smiled at him.

Tut tut.Ning Xiaoxiao's heart was turbulent.

Under the cover of the menu, her eyes, which refused to let go of any intimate shots, quietly floated up to observe their every move and capture the ambiguity.It seems that the senior brother and this little helper have an unexpected tacit understanding... However, it is really unexpected that Qi Jin would fall in love with this type of man.

She thought Qi Jin had been in the media industry for a long time, and her vision would be more trendy.

After ordering, they chose a more nourishing mushroom chicken soup as a base, asked the waiter to light it up, and brought the preheated soup base up by the way.

Taking advantage of the time before the food was served, Ning Xiaoxiao took the initiative to open up the chatterbox and introduced herself with her standard ladylike smile: "My surname is Ning, my name is Xiaoxiao, and I am currently working as an editor in a magazine. This little helper What's your name?"

Shen Yan responded sternly: "My surname is Shen, my first name is Yan, and I'm a wild goose. Now I'm working as a doctor in a pet hospital."

Hearing the words, Ning Xiaoxiao suddenly let out a short "ah", blinked her eyes at Qi Yu: "Could it be the hospital you went to interview last time, senior brother?"

Qi Yu smiled but did not answer.

The memory in Ning Xiaoxiao's mind suddenly swerved like a tape going backwards, and suddenly stopped at the phone call Qi Jin made to her that day.This time, she couldn't even blink her eyes. She screamed and pointed at Qi Yu regardless of her image: "That's right! That's right! You once asked me a series of adjectives! Careful, considerate, dedicated, responsible, etc. Lah, you said you were describing an interview subject, could it be this—”

Shen Yan was taken aback.

Since the positioning is "interview object", the time point should still be in the initial stage of their contact.So at that time... Is this the impression I gave Qi Jin?

Subconsciously turned to look at the person who wrote these keywords, the person's ears turned red, and he covered his head with his hands to prevent himself from seeing, gritted his teeth and said: "Little girl, how dare you still I remember so clearly..."

Fortunately, there was a large pot in front of him, and the milky white soup began to boil, and large clouds of steam came out to slightly cover up the embarrassment.

Shen Yan stared at him blankly for a while, then slowly withdrew his gaze, but the warmth flowing from his heart could not be withdrawn, it was all filled deep in his chest, he couldn't tell whether it was soft or firm, it just felt full.

"Is it really him?" Ning Xiaoxiao suddenly realized, she seemed to understand the reason why Shen Yan became the boyfriend under review.

"Really, let's start putting in the ingredients." The waiter was in a hurry just like the soup, and brought a few plates of meatballs and vegetarian dishes in time, giving Qi Jin a step to go down.He took the lead in pushing the food to his junior sister, hoping to make her shut up obediently and eat with peace of mind.

Ning Xiaoxiao moved her chopsticks to put things into the soup, while organizing her thoughts.The train of thought stretched all the way down in chronological order, and suddenly hit a knot, and stopped there: since they met through interviews, the relationship between the two parties should have been established during the more than one month of follow-up reports.

But, why didn't this person come to visit during the time when the brother was in the car accident and was hospitalized?

Is it because this person didn't show up that senior brother fell into that state?If that's the case, wouldn't Shen Yan be a bit... scumbag?

There was a thump in her heart, and she couldn't help but secretly worried.

In fact, from the perspective of voice control, she quite liked Shen Yan's voice, even though he only spoke less than thirty words.

After that, Shen Yan didn't take the initiative to talk to her, her aura itself was very strange. Generally speaking, shouldn't she be more courteous in front of her prospective boyfriend's relatives and friends, and strive for foreign aid and extra points?Or, he doesn't really like senior brother that much?

As someone who has always cared about Qi Jin's emotional belonging, she had to find the answer by herself and join the review team.

So she deliberately laughed at Shen Yan twice, and brought up the topic in a very ordinary way: "By the way, you said that you met through interviews, and my brother and I met because we went to the same school for undergraduates, and our majors are relatively similar. We are in the same province, and we became acquainted after seeing each other often.”

Shen Yan would stop her chopsticks when she was talking, and listen quietly and attentively to her finish.

Ning Xiaoxiao thought that he would answer a sentence or two, but Shen Yan just listened, and seemed to have no intention of answering, just nodded after listening.I don't know whether he doesn't know how to answer the conversation, or he feels that he lacks interest and doesn't want to answer the conversation.She paused for three seconds, had to hold her breath, kept a gentle smile and continued to lead the topic to him: "So, where did Dr. Shen study his undergraduate degree?"

Qi Yu raised his head when he heard this.

This question had never been discussed between them, so he wanted to know the answer too.

Shen Yan's expression changed slightly.

The gazes of the two people from different directions pierced through the steam and fixed on his face.At the same time, the thick soup in the pot made a violent boiling sound and rolled up and down, as if urged by these two eager eyes.

Shen Yan's breathing also seemed to be urged, and became a little faster.

He unconsciously lowered his eyes, opened his lips lightly, but was speechless for a long time.The hot air from the hot pot hit his face, which only made him feel more chilled.

Qi Jin first realized that this might not be a good question.

Shen Yan always answered questions, if he didn't speak for such a long time, it meant that he didn't want to answer.He was startled, and was about to hastily change the subject when Shen Yan finally spoke.

"I... didn't study undergraduate." The voice was as low as the eyes.Every word felt like a needle prick when it passed through the throat. Because of the pain, the sentences became incoherent. "After three years in junior college, I came out to work."

"Uh..." Ning Xiaoxiao didn't expect this kind of answer at all, she was taken aback for a moment, but luckily she recovered quickly, and said somewhat hesitantly, "This, that's it."

The university she and Qi Jin attended can be regarded as one of the key universities in the country. Although it is not as good as Tsinghua University and Peking University, it is quite famous.

The person in front of him only had a college diploma.

Women are always sensitive and suspicious by nature, especially when the other party is still under investigation.She had already worried about Shen Yan before, and this worry was now like sand in an hourglass, accumulating thicker as time went by.

Ning Xiaoxiao coughed and changed the topic in another direction: "Then, is Dr. Shen a local? Everyone in the family is here?"

"Xiao Xiao." When Qi Yan heard the word "family member", her expression turned serious, and she interrupted sharply, "Enough."

After looking at the photo album, he faintly sensed that Shen Yan's family situation might be unusual, and this kind of question should not be asked face to face.

Ning Xiaoxiao didn't understand why, because in her opinion, this question was quite common and there was no risk, Qi Jin's attitude confused her a bit.

At this time, Shen Yan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly replied softly: "I'm not a local. I was born in a small town and moved here later. At home... Grandpa passed away, and now I'm alone."

Ning Xiaoxiao was naturally quick-talking, so when she thought about it, she couldn't hide it, and blurted out: "Grandpa passed away, what about the parents?"

Family situation often has a great influence on a person's attitude towards his or her partner.The magazine she works for often plans some related topics, telling real-life events such as internal conflicts in the family, relationship problems between husband and wife, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discord, and occupational diseases that cannot be corrected.

And the other party is someone Qi Yu likes.

Without thoroughly asking about the situation, she couldn't be sure whether this person would be able to take care of her in the future, or whether there would be any accidents.

"Xiao Xiao!" Qi Min panicked, and held Shen Yan's hand tightly with her right hand under the table, shaking it.

He wanted to give Shen Yan a hint - if he didn't want to say it, he didn't have to say it, but when he actually touched it, he was startled.The back of the man's hand was icy cold, his fingers clenched into fists, trembling slightly in the shadows.

"My parents... are not here," Shen Yan's voice was much more restrained than his hands, and if he didn't listen carefully, he couldn't hear the trace of trembling, "It's been a long time since we have contacted each other."
