Chapter 34: Long Time No See!

After Qin Qin Xiaoyu heard Lin Su's words, he felt no great surprise, unlike the situation when he had previously visited the Drama Academy.

Last time, not many people had heard of his game yet.

But now, calling it one of the most popular games in the Xia Kingdom, Qin Qin Xiaoyu felt he could hardly be accused of boasting.

So naturally, the number of people wanting to voice the game characters increased.

However.

For the Liyue characters, Qin Qin Xiaoyu placed great importance, so when selecting voice actors, he naturally had to be much more cautious.

Besides Tao Tao Xiaodian, who had already been confirmed, under Lin Su's introduction, he interviewed nearly one hundred and fifty students who came to apply over the course of a morning before finally confirming the voice actors for all the Liyue characters.

Originally, after finishing the business, Qin Qin Xiaoyu had planned to treat Lin Su to a simple lunch.

Although Lin Su actually wanted to agree deep down, the Student Union had a meeting at noon, and as the Deputy Minister of the club, she had no choice but to go.

So after hesitating for a while, she tactfully suggested to Qin Qin Xiaoyu:

"I'm afraid I can't make it today noon; there's something at the Student Union, and I have to head over soon. How about another day? Once I get my voice acting pay, I'll treat you, hehe!"

"That's not appropriate!"

Lin Su had already helped him enough; asking her to treat him to a meal made Qin Qin Xiaoyu feel uncomfortable both emotionally and logically. "If you have something to do, just go ahead; there will be plenty of opportunities later! As for the pay, I'll arrange for someone to transfer it to you as soon as I get back. Remember to send me your bank account number along with those of the other students..."

"Then thank you, Boss Qin! Tao Tao Xiaodian and I will take our leave now!"

Lin Su gently brushed aside the green strands of hair hanging before her forehead, while her other hand linked arms with Tao Tao Xiaodian, smiling and nodding.

"Remember the promise you made me!"

After the two had walked a few steps, Tao Tao Xiaodian suddenly stopped, turned back with a playful smile, and looked at Qin Qin Xiaoyu to remind him.

"Alright, I'll send it to you as soon as I finish up and get back!"

Qin Qin Xiaoyu shook his head, wondering in his heart why he found such a girl a little bit cute.

What a terrifying thought...

After parting with them, Qin Qin Xiaoyu had achieved his purpose for visiting the Drama Academy. Considering he still needed to find Yun Yun Shuqian for help, he left the Drama Academy directly.

Yun City University was not far ahead; crossing a road and taking a turn would lead to the school's main gate.

Given such a short distance, Qin Qin Xiaoyu did not plan to drive again.

After all.

Finding a parking spot at a school is quite difficult.

About seven or eight minutes later, Qin Qin Xiaoyu arrived at the gate of Yun City University. After pondering for a few seconds, he took out his phone.

He rummaged through his contacts for a while, found Yun Yun Shuqian's number, and dialed it directly.

To be honest.

Qin Qin Xiaoyu did not hold out much hope that Yun Yun Shuqian would answer the call, since the original owner seemed to have had no contact with her since graduation.

However.

To his slight surprise, the phone was answered after ringing only once.

The other party did not speak immediately; after a brief silence of a few seconds, a gentle and melodious female voice came through: "Is this Qin Qin Xiaoyu? Why did you think to call me proactively?"

The voice coming through the phone was very pleasant, with a tone carrying three parts joy and seven parts confusion.

As Yun Yun Shuqian's words fell, the vague impression of her in Qin Qin Xiaoyu's mind finally began to clear up:

"It's me, Director Yun! We haven't been in touch for a long time. I'm right at your school gate. If it's convenient, I'd like to treat you to a simple meal and chat in person?"

Although recruiting employees was not a complicated matter, it was hard to explain clearly in a sentence or two over the phone.

Moreover, when asking someone for a favor, at least the right attitude must be shown; unless one is particularly familiar, otherwise it would seem overly casual.

So Qin Qin Xiaoyu hesitated for a while and proposed wanting to meet her. It was also lunchtime, and having been busy all morning, he was actually quite hungry.

"Ah? I've already eaten with my colleagues."

On the other end of the line, Yun Yun Shuqian's tone was full of surprise. After pausing for a few seconds, she continued: "How about you wait for me a moment? I'll come find you now!"

At first, Qin Qin Xiaoyu thought the other party was not very willing to see him, but hearing the second half of the sentence, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Alright, then I'll wait for you at the gate."

The management at Yun City University was countless times stricter than the neighboring Drama Academy; entering or leaving the school gate required swiping a card.

Without that thing, even if you were Su Qin or Zhang Yi reincarnated, the security guard would absolutely not let you step inside with both feet.

Qin Qin Xiaoyu knew this clearly in his heart, so after hanging up the phone, he quietly waited at the school gate for Yun Yun Shuqian to arrive.

Fortunately, the waiting time was not long.

Quickly.

Qin Qin Xiaoyu's eyes lit up as a bright, glowing young girl walked toward him.

Emmm...

To be precise, Qin Qin Xiaoyu felt that the term "young girl" might not be quite suitable to describe the approaching Yun Yun Shuqian, although her appearance seemed not too different from many university girls.

But the feeling Yun Yun Shuqian gave him was clearly somewhat different from Lin Su and Tao Tao Xiaodian; it seemed to lack the unique innocence of a young girl, whether she had deliberately restrained it or whether it had naturally faded with age.

However, from her, Qin Qin Xiaoyu sensed an added charm and allure that young girls did not possess.

Yun Yun Shuqian wore a warm-toned, small fragrance-style jacket on her upper body and a very simple, slim-fitting pair of jeans on her lower body.

Such an outfit made her slender waist appear even more delicate, as if it could barely be grasped by a single hand.

Her long hair, like algae, was tied high behind her head; a pair of charming peach-blossom eyes curved into crescent moons, and on her fair face, there seemed to be a faint, subtle smile.

Seen from afar, she was sweet but not cloying, alluring but not seductive.

Compared to Liu Liu Ruyun whom he had seen a few days ago, Qin Qin Xiaoyu really wanted to directly curse out loud right there: "Original owner, are you blind? No wonder you had a car accident..."

"Long time no see!"

Just as Qin Qin Xiaoyu was silently criticizing the original owner's aesthetic taste, Yun Yun Shuqian had already walked up to him. "I didn't expect you to contact me proactively; is there something you need my help with?"

"Uh... indeed, it has been a long time!"

Having her intentions seen through by Yun Yun Shuqian at a glance, Qin Qin Xiaoyu's expression was somewhat awkward. After pausing for a few seconds, he continued speaking: "There's a coffee shop over there; how about I treat you to a cup of coffee?"

People came and went at the school's main gate; for discussing matters, it was truly not an ideal location.

"I don't like coffee; the milk tea shop nearby is fine. Let's go there to talk."

Although she hadn't been in contact with Qin Qin Xiaoyu for a year, she had actually asked Cai Qiu about Qin Qin Xiaoyu's situation a while ago and knew things were not going very well.

So.

Yun Yun Shuqian had no intention at all of letting Qin Qin Xiaoyu pay, so between the coffee shop and the milk tea shop, she chose the latter...
