CH 159

Tang Yu was briefly taken aback, but she quickly realized she had yet to inform Yin Zhao-an about what she had done with the ring, so she quickly explained, "It's too conspicuous if I wear it on my finger, so I'm wearing it on my neck."

Hearing this, Yin Zhao-an looked down and saw a silver chain on Tang Yu's snow-white neck. Then, she breathed a sigh of relief and pinched the back of her neck with lingering fear as she said, "You scared me. You mustn't lose it."

"I know," Tang Yu obediently replied.

When the two walked away under the same umbrella, a beautiful figure appeared under a lush tree, her pretty eyes narrowing a little as they reflected the two's backs.

…

At night, Tang Yu received a friend request on QQ, and the other party's ID was—Shimmering Drama Club [Silent Rain].

Tang Yu was a little surprised. She should have only befriended Silent Rain on QQ during her third year in university, yet she had only started her second year just recently. Was this the butterfly effect at work again?

After thinking it over, Tang Yu quickly agreed to Silent Rain's friend request. As soon as the request was approved, she was greeted by a bunch of cute emoticons, just like in her past life.

Silent Rain: Good evening, Yu-An!! I'm the planner of the Shimmering Drama Club!

Yu-An: Hi [smile].

Silent Rain: So here's the deal. We are currently looking for a voice actress for one of our plays… Don't worry; we are a legitimate voice-acting society. Our tachi-kun has specifically requested for you to play this role, and she says you are the only one who can do it [pitiful expression].

Yu-An: ...Tachi-kun?

Silent Rain: Um...don't be offended, but the play's genre is GL.

As soon as Tang Yu saw this message, she performed a tactical retreat and began to seriously reconsider her options.

In her past life, Silent Rain had asked her to voice a youthful campus romance drama. Even if changes had occurred to the timeline, why was there such a drastic change in genres?

Silent Rain: Sob sob, please consider it, Yu-An. If our tachi-kun quits, our drama club will be in big trouble [crying].

Tang Yu had voiced multiple radio plays, so she knew how much trouble it would cause the production team if the lead actress quit.

I only need to play my own role well, so why bother about so much? With this in mind, Tang Yu sent her reply to Silent Rain.

Yu-An: Okay, let me check with my club president first.

Silent Rain: Ahhh, thank you so much!! I love you, mua~

Later, Tang Yu told Hu Siyue about this matter, and Hu Siyue's reaction was as expected. She reminded Tang Yu to be cautious and not to disclose her personal information to strangers or be too friendly with them.

Tang Yu was grateful to Hu Siyue for treating her like a proper junior sister.

Since the club president had given her approval, Tang Yu accepted Silent Rain's invitation, and Silent Rain quickly added her to a chat group.

Immediately afterward, Silent Rain sent Tang Yu the name of the character she would be voicing and asked her to use that as her pseudonym when chatting in the group. In response, Tang Yu did as told and typed a greeting in the group.

Yu-An [Main Character · Neko - Song Wan'er]: Hello, everyone.

Tang Yu narrowed her eyes slightly. She didn't like the "neko" character, and she had a very strong urge to change it…

However, Tang Yu ultimately restrained her fingers. Then, while looking through the greeting messages that had appeared in the group chat during her brief lapse of attention, she spotted her "tachi."

Four O'clock [Main Character · Tachi - Qin He]: Hello.

The other party seemed quite cold and aloof, and Tang Yu couldn't help but feel as if she had gotten tricked. No matter how she looked at it, this "tachi" didn't seem like the type of person who'd passionately recommend a person for the role of "neko."

Soon, Tang Yu received the play's script from Silent Rain. Then, the other party quickly disappeared after leaving behind some inexplicable words.

After downloading the script, Tang Yu casually glanced at it and found that it wasn't anything special. It was a standard romance plot, with only the male lead being swapped for a female lead. However, as she read on, her brows furrowed tiger and tighter.

This… What kind of script is this?!

Tang Yu's face turned bright red from embarrassment. There were actually numerous erotic scenes in this play! How could she possibly act in this?!

A knock suddenly came from the door. Tang Yu hurriedly closed the document, but the heat on her face had yet to subside. When Yin Zhao-an came in, she saw Tang Yu frantically closing something on her computer with a somewhat suspicious look.

Yin Zhao-an raised her eyebrows and leaned against the door, wondering to herself if her wife had been watching something exciting. Thinking of this, she recalled that it had been quite some time since they had partaken in any bedroom activities and couldn't help but get a sudden urge. So, while tapping a finger against the door, she said, "It's time for bed. If you have something to do, leave it for tomorrow."

Tang Yu stuttered a response and shut down her computer. Then, she got up and walked out of the room.

After moving into this apartment, they had tacitly chosen to share the master bedroom. But if either of them had something to do, they would do so in the other room. At this point, this other room had practically become Tang Yu's personal working studio already, and Yin Zhao-an always had to come over to remind her to go to sleep.

…

The master bedroom was lit by only a dim bedside lamp, and the dim lighting gave the room an ambiguous atmosphere. Initially, Tang Yu remained ignorant of this atmosphere, but just as she was about to lift the sheets and go to bed, she was pushed down onto the mattress from behind. Then, she felt a pair of large and warm hands slipping under her pajamas, the unexpected physical contact causing her body to tremble.

A scorching breath hit her fragile and sensitive neck. Then, she felt something wet and sticky wandering around her neck and earlobes, as if there was a poised venomous snake tasting her and considering where to bite to achieve the best effect.

Tang Yu's eyes started to become misty, and her breathing gradually quickened. She struggled to turn her body over, but when she succeeded, she wrapped her arms around Yin Zhao-an's neck and leaned forward to leave a bite mark there. The bite mark was neither too deep nor too shallow, looking like it was both an attempt at revenge and flirting.

The corner of Yin Zhao-an's mouth curled up, and she leaned down to exchange a lingering kiss with Tang Yu while her hands continued to explore downward.

…

In the early morning, Tang Yu lay on the bed half-awake, feeling extremely embarrassed when she recalled how she had moaned to the point where her voice had become hoarse last night.

Yin Zhao-an, on the other hand, felt refreshed and content. She had woken up at an earlier time than Tang Yu did, and she had already prepared breakfast for her beloved. But after giving Tang Yu a good morning kiss, she had to leave for her morning lectures.

Shortly after Yin Zhao-an left, Tang Yu got out of bed and made her way to the dining table. The instant some food entered her stomach, it dispelled much of the discomfort she experienced from hunger. When she was nearly full, she took a slice of bread and a cup of hot milk and went to the studio to continue studying that strange script.

…

After going through the compulsory military training, every one of Yin Zhao-an's classmates became a shade darker, and this sight made the head teacher laugh. The head teacher was a young man, and he would often say popular phrases that made the students in class laugh out loud. Everyone was initially taken aback by his behavior, but their impression of the young head teacher was still very positive, and they quickly adapted to the classroom's environment.

As for Yin Zhao-an, she didn't undergo much of a transformation. Her skin had always been on the fairer side, so even after partaking in military training for half a month, her skin tone only darkened by a little.

Due to Yin Zhao-an's choice of majors, there were suddenly a lot more male students around her, most of whom were still single. Meanwhile, the senior sister who would always show up to accompany Yin Zhao-an during military training had left a deep impression on these single boys. So after class, these boys quickly swarmed Yin Zhao-an, asking questions like:

"Say, Yin Zhao-an, which department and major does that senior sister belong to?"

“Can you give me that senior sister's WeChat? I can pay for it!”

“What type of guys does that senior sister like? Do you think I have a chance?”

Yin Zhao-an silently took out a book to isolate herself from her classmates while arrogantly saying, "Don't even think about it. She likes my type."

"Tch..."

The boys dispersed, each thinking about how to get Tang Yu's contact information.

Yin Zhao-an stopped paying attention to them and took out her phone from her pocket. Then, she habitually tapped on a special application, opening up a map with a flashing red dot in the center.

Seeing that the tracking device was working properly, Yin Zhao-an relaxed. Although she didn't know why Tang Yu would say those strange words, it was a fact that she was the first person Tang Yu had gone to for help.

Yin Zhao-an still had another lecture to attend, but she needed to switch to another classroom before that. After packing up her belongings, she swiftly made her way over to the classroom in question.

…

Inside a quiet bedroom, the sheets of the bed were slightly raised, and there was a white feline tail sticking out of it, swaying back and forth at the bedside.

At this time, two feline ears emerged from under the sheets as Mo Shu sat up from the bed and lazily yawned. Chen Ci was still asleep next to her, so Mo Shu tiptoed out of bed to wash up. Then, she took out a cream-filled bread from out of nowhere and started munching on it.

Lying on the balcony, Mo Shu watched the people coming and going in the community, a trace of nostalgia flashed through her eyes. She had married Chen Ci in a previous timeline, but the Chen Ci of that timeline had to endure suffering that she shouldn't have borne in her childhood. So, in this timeline, Chen Ci did not exist, and neither did Chen Ci's alcoholic father. The only ones who existed were she and the "Chen Ci," who had come to revisit their old haunts.

Mo Shu propped up her head in frustration. She really didn't sleep well last night. The neighbors didn't close their balcony window properly before starting their nightly activities last night, and the soft moans that came from next door stoked the fire in her. Unfortunately, she had no choice but to restrain herself as Chen Ci had already fallen asleep at the time. So, she had no choice but to cover her ears, wrap herself in the blanket, and tightly embrace Chen Ci's waist before finally falling asleep.

After finishing her bread, Mo Shu shook her ears and walked out with big strides. She needed to go out and buy some food. She couldn't let Chen Ci eat bread like her.

…

Silent Rain set up a streaming channel on the streaming platform YY and invited Tang Yu and Four O'clock for a rehearsal. She also invited Gugu'ran, the director of the play, for a rehearsal.

Four O'clock: "Test, test. Can you hear me?"

It was a very cold tone. Whether it was deliberate or natural, Tang Yu couldn't tell.

Gugu'ran typed a "1" in the public chat to indicate that she could hear Four O'clock. She chose to mute herself so as not to disturb the two when they were acting. She would only provide feedback once they were finished with their play.

Meanwhile, Tang Yu turned on her microphone and said, "I can hear you."

Tang Yu deliberately tried to simulate Song Wan'er's voice, which was a soft and somewhat intellectual voice. It was completely different from her usual clear and pure voice.

Search bit.ly/3Tfs4P4 for the original.

Four O'clock seemed to pause for a moment. Then, she hesitantly commented, "Your voice sounds a bit hoarse."

Tang Yu's body stiffened. She did use her voice a little too much last night. To cover up her embarrassment, she coughed lightly and explained, "I have a slight cold, but it shouldn't be a problem."

"Okay," Four O'clock responded with the same cold tone.

When Gugu'ran saw that both actors were ready, she typed a dividing line in the public chat to indicate the start of the first take.

There was no background music, but Tang Yu was able to construct a scene in her mind.

The scene was set in a bustling city. A large crowd had gathered at the city gate to cheer for a mighty cavalry's return. The general leading the cavalry was clad in golden armor, and she had a stunningly beautiful face that was colored by indifference and dried blood. When the general arrived at the city gate, she finally removed her eyes from the ground ahead and looked up.

On the city wall, a stunningly beautiful woman in a brocade gown was firmly watching her. As if there was a beckoning hand between the woman's eyes and eyebrows, the general instantly found herself sinking into the woman's beauty.

The general opened her mouth. Then, using a voice that had grown hoarse from disuse, she said, "Wan'er, I'm back."
