Xu Yinian watched Qin Jiashu’s expression shift through a kaleidoscope of unreadable emotions. Her heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively pulled her neck back like a startled turtle. I… I definitely said the wrong thing.
She couldn’t understand why her Senior Sister had forced her to speak her mind, only to react so violently to the answer.
Qin Jiashu took a deep breath, her mouth opening and closing as she struggled to find words. Finally, she glared at Xu Yinian with a look of pure, teeth-gritting frustration.
“I don’t like Ji Yan, and I am definitely not…” She forced the word out through clenched teeth. “…a bottom.”
Seeing her deny it with such flustered indignation, Xu Yinian realized this wasn’t just a matter of embarrassment. It seemed something had gone seriously wrong between Qin Jiashu and Ji Yan.
A realization struck Xu Yinian. Ever since Bai Ran arrived, she had been so focused on dragging Bai Ran away from the original plot that she’d completely neglected the love-hate drama between the main couple.
What stage were they at now?
Had Ji Yan already… broken up with the Senior Sister?
That would explain why Qin Jiashu’s face fell the moment Ji Yan was mentioned, and why she refused to acknowledge her former feelings.
Xu Yinian felt she understood the situation now, but she didn’t dare ask for confirmation. Who would be foolish enough to poke at someone’s fresh wounds? She clamped her mouth shut, resolving to say nothing more.
Qin Jiashu stared at Xu Yinian, watching her expression morph from confusion to a sudden “lightbulb” moment, before returning to that of a silent Mute Gourd.
“Xu Yinian, you don’t believe me?”
Qin Jiashu stopped calling her “Junior Sister” and used her full name instead. Spoken in that mature, sultry voice, the name carried a heavy weight of pressure.
Xu Yinian didn’t dare to disbelieve her. “I—I believe you,” she whispered.
Faced with such a blatant lack of conviction, the tiny shred of guilt Qin Jiashu had been harboring vanished instantly. She suddenly felt that if she didn’t keep Xu Yinian in bed for a few days and nights, she would be doing a disservice to her freshly trimmed nails.
Qin Jiashu let go of the door, took off her sunglasses, and swept her hair back over her shoulder. The stray lock of hair that had been tucked into her collar finally saw the light of day.
When she opened her eyes again, her Fox Eyes were dark and bottomless. She reached out, playfully patting Xu Yinian’s cheek with a lingering, meaningful touch.
“Don’t worry,” she said, her voice dropping an octave. “Senior Sister will make a believer out of you.”
Being patted on the face like that felt strangely shameful. Even though Xu Yinian had no guard up against her Senior Sister, her mind went blank, and her breath turned hot.
But seeing Qin Jiashu drop that line and turn to walk away, Xu Yinian could only scramble to her feet and chase after her.
She quickly and habitually cooked up an excuse for her Senior Sister’s sudden, intrusive behavior. After all, Qin Jiashu had always been like this—patting her head or brushing her lips with a fingertip. She did it so openly and naturally, as if these intimate gestures were nothing more than ordinary affection.
She’s probably just used to being physically close to people…
Looking at the enchanting, bold, and fox-like Senior Sister, Xu Yinian could only conclude that this was simply her personality—flirting without intention, leaving a trail of broken hearts everywhere. It was only natural that she would be so “informal” with Xu Yinian as well.
Besides, everyone knew Qin Jiashu’s “type” was someone like Ji Yan.
Xu Yinian failed to realize that when it came to people she trusted, her defenses were non-existent. Even when she sensed something was off, she would find excuses for them and easily convince herself that everything was fine.
Danger was creeping in through the gaps in her guard, yet Xu Yinian remained blissfully unaware that she was surrounded by wolves.
Monologue Studios was located in a low-rise building within the industrial park, standing only five or six stories tall. The entire facade was covered in lush, green ivy dotted with tiny, star-like flowers—a beautiful sight.
The building’s design was artistic and refined, reflecting the sophisticated taste of whoever was in charge.
Qin Jiashu explained that the bottom two floors housed Monologue’s in-house voice acting studios, while the top three floors were dedicated to recording booths, post-production, and script polishing.
Monologue’s recording equipment was the most advanced in the industry, even surpassing the legacy studios of some old-school record labels. Because of this, many external recording projects rented space here. This was why Qin Jiashu had been here previously.
“The head of Monologue is named Lin San. She’s an industry veteran, and she’s the one you’re meeting today.”
“However, the owner behind the scenes is quite mysterious. Probably some wealthy heir. Who else would build such a short office building in an industrial park where every inch of land is worth its weight in gold? It’s pure, indulgent wealth. They spent money like water, buying up copyrights back when audio dramas weren’t even popular. Somehow, every single one of them became a hit. I can’t tell if that person has incredible vision or just insane luck.”
Xu Yinian nodded in agreement. No wonder people online said Monologue was top-tier in terms of production value and listener experience. It turned out the boss was just playing a high-stakes game with deep pockets.
Beyond the studio itself, Xu Yinian had also looked up the voice actress rumored to play the female Alpha lead. She hadn’t even gone looking for it intentionally; a quick search for Improper Thoughts on Weibo brought up a flood of fans tagging and begging for news.
They were all fans of the voice actress “Briefly Put.” In this niche community, the size and volume of her fanbase were staggering.
Driven by curiosity, Xu Yinian had researched Briefly Put and found that the woman was far more famous than she had imagined—the ace of Monologue Studios.
She almost exclusively voiced Girls’ Love audio dramas. While her body of work wasn’t massive, every project was a top-tier hit. Her unique “top” voice allowed her to perfectly adapt to any dominant character.
Briefly Put was also shrouded in mystery. Aside from her voice work, she had no public social media accounts and never did fan service. Rather than driving fans away, this mystery only made them more obsessed.
