I Love Your Eyes and Ears

[Daily updates / 12:00]

[An apparently flirtatious but actually timid young screenwriter x a cool, aloof, rebellious voice-acting superstar]

[Older woman-younger man romance, she pursues him]

Xu Xizhu has only ever fallen for someone twice.

Once, for the handsome Meng Minqiao.

Once, for the bewitching voice of voice actor Qiao Yebo.

On her birthday, she runs into Meng Minqiao again. He seems born to live in the spotlight, able to take every admiring glance in stride. Unfortunately, there's already a beautiful woman by his side, so Xu Xizhu can only give up.

By chance, she gets an opportunity to work with Qiao Yebo.

She summons her courage and approaches him about working together, getting his work account. Then she uses a cat to act cute and deliberately start a conversation. As she makes one bold confession after another (and generally acts unreasonable), he can't take it anymore and has no choice but to give her his personal contact information.

At first:

Him: I'm 48, divorced, and have two kids. I have no plans to remarry. Don't waste your time.

A while later:

Him: If I had a girlfriend, fiancee, or wife and then added you, wouldn't that make me a terrible person?

Xu Xizhu gives a faint smile. "Ha. Men."

And yet.

Just as she's busy conquering the voice-acting superstar online, she keeps running into Meng Minqiao.

At bars, on campus, in her neighborhood... It seems she can run into him anywhere.

After careful consideration, Xu Xizhu, determined not to date two men at once, starts running the moment she sees him.

But as she keeps running, she suddenly realizes...

These two... seem to be the same person???

Meng Minqiao is widely regarded as someone favored by the Creator.

He's handsome, and his voice is wonderful, too.

He has three distinct memories of Xu Xizhu.

First, she once stared at him from the doorway and followed him all the way to campus, as if she wanted to "assassinate" him.

Second, she was bold and flirtatious online, but a total coward in person, running away whenever she saw him.

Third... she's a little temptress, the kind who steals men's hearts.

A little scene:

During a livestream, a man is reading poetry with great expression.

A message pops up in the chat: Don't you think it feels like we're having an affair?

The man falls silent for two seconds, calmly closes his book, makes an excuse to end the stream, then turns to look at the person lying on the bed, playing with her phone.

The temptress panics. "What are you doing?"

"Flirting out in the open."

Reading Notes:

1. One-on-one romance, happy ending.

2. Simple and slow-burn. The heroine is shameless and persistent.
