Defeated By Love

Please show the novel some support and love on my Ko-fi page! 

The next day, Shu Nian went out half an hour earlier than her appointed time. Her character didn’t have many words so it took less than two hours to complete all the dialogue.
Li Qing was quite satisfied with her. He even let her try the voice of a little girl that was in the same film.

Faking voices was not a difficult task for voice actors.

Shu Nian adjusted a bit. She raised her tone, emphasised the nasally sound and suddenly her voice became naive. The scene only had a few sentences so it was over quickly.

That was her daily life.

Meeting Xie Ruhe again.

For her, it was like walking on the side of the road and suddenly hearing a song with a good tune. However, after going home, when she wanted to listen to the song again, she couldn’t remember the lyrics. She tried her best, but she still couldn’t find the song.

Once it passes, it passes.

The days were long and boring, there were bound to be surprises.

Meeting him again, no matter what kind of process it was, was actually a pleasure to Shu Nian.

Even if he didn’t seem very happy to her.

Shu Nian had thought about whether or not to send him a text message to ask him why he was suddenly unhappy. She thought for a long time, picking up and putting back down the phone, before picking it up again.

But in the end, she still put it down.

She just thought that their encounter didn’t need to be dragged out.

He wasn’t willing and she didn’t have the same enthusiasm as before.

“Young master.”

Fang Wencheng stood at the door and by habit, knocked on the door three times. Although, he knew that Xie Ruhe would not be able to hear him. He called again and then pushed open the door.

The room was soundproof, only minimum sound could be heard from the outside but as soon as the door opened, deafening rock music bursted out.

The volume could damage the eardrums.

The light inside was very dark and on the wooden floor, except for a stereo, had no other furniture. It looked empty. The ground had a neat set of dominos, arranged in a certain pattern.

There was also dozens of soft mango candies littered around.

Xie Ruhe wore a loose jumper with long sleeves. The collarbone was exposed, showing off a depressing atmosphere. The wheelchair was pushed aside and he sat on the ground, lazily placing the dominoes.

Fang Wencheng went to the stereo, turned off the music and said. “Young master, did you agree to write the theme song of Huajing’s new movie? They called over here to ask if it’s done.”

Xie Ruhe faintly hummed.

Fang Wencheng said: “Okay.”

Fang Wencheng had nothing else to do. He was just about to turn on the stereo again for him and leave the room when Xie Ruhe suddenly opened his mouth: “Tell Huajing that I will assign the singer, I have already written the promotion song for them.”

Hearing those words, Fang Wencheng said. “But there was no request from them——”

Xie Ruhe’s eyebrows remained unchanged and he continued: “It’s free of charge, they can change the song if they’re unsatisfied.”

Fang Wencheng felt confused.

That was the first time that Xie Ruhe had allowed others to change his song. Usually it would cause his face to turn bad but he didn’t ask much either: “Alright, which singer do you want? I’ll communicate with them.”

“The theme song is sang by the second female in the movie.” Xie Ruhe looked down, picked up a domino with his slender fingers and gently placed it in a designated position. “Just find the voice actress of the second female.”

Fang Wencheng thought he heard it wrong: “Voice actor?”

“En.”

“That’s not too good.” Fang Wencheng advised him. “I think it’s better if we find a singer to sing the song. These two don’t have to be the same person. It’s okay to separate the dubbing and singing. The songs you write are hard to grasp, having a professional is still better.”

Otherwise, they’ll be dead from being scolded by you before they could sing the song you want.

Xie Ruhe insisted on the matter: “I want the voice actor.”

Knowing he would not listen, Fang Wencheng’s expression became helpless: “This is a movie. They usually don’t look for voice actors. They are broadcasted live. If the noise is too loud to use, they will find the actors themselves to match anyway.”

Being repeatedly rejected, Xie Ruhe suddenly raised his head and quietly looked at him.

Fang Wencheng immediately withdrew his nervous expression and coughed twice.

“Let me ask them first.”

Fang Wencheng walked out of the room and called the film company to relay Xie Ruhe’s words.

It didn’t take long for him to return to the room.

“They agreed.” Fang Wencheng was relieved. “They agreed very quickly saying that they originally planned to find a voice actor for the second female because the actor who played the second female didn’t have very good voice skills and it didn’t match the character in the movie either.”

Seeing that he didn’t say anything, Fang Wencheng continued: “Will it be you who chooses the voice actor or the producer?”

“Tell them to find a dubbing director named Li Qing.” Xie Ruhe’s voice was light. “Let him find someone at an audition, I want a new voice with not bad dubbing skills.”

“Okay.” Fang Wencheng said. “Are there any other requirements?”

Xie Ruhe lowered his eyes again and said. “Tell me the day of the audition, I will go too.”

“…” Fang Wencheng couldn’t help it this time, although he knew that his young master’s temper was bad and unpredictable. “Young master, what are you going there to do?”

Xie Ruhe did not answer.

——What was he going to do?
