1.

Su Qingqian is an illustrator who accidentally discovered her voice kink thanks to a friend. From then on, she became obsessed with one voice: Qingyi.

During her internship, Su Qingqian realized that the voice she had fallen for sounded remarkably like that of Gu Zhouyi, her coworker at the same company, with whom she had a history of bad blood.

So Su Qingqian did everything she could to avoid him.

Her peaceful life lasted until one evening.

In a dim, deserted stairwell, Gu Zhouyi cornered her. Looking awkward, Su Qingqian really couldn't remember what had happened at the bar that day. She hesitated, then asked, "Did I do something?"

Seeing the tips of her ears slowly turn red, Gu Zhouyi leaned back a little and raised his brows. "Nothing much."

Su Qingqian breathed a sigh of relief, only to hear him add in a lazy tone, "You just touched me once."

"?"

"And kissed me, ruining my innocence."

Su Qingqian's eyelid twitched.

Still wearing that gorgeous voice, he continued pitifully, "You're so young. How did you pick up the bad habit of not taking responsibility?"

"..."

2.

After Gu Zhouyi's secret identity was exposed, he finally managed to smooth things over with her, only for their new animated project to be targeted by a rival company, which bought a smear campaign on trending searches to discredit them.

When Su Qingqian heard the news, she rushed back to discuss a response, only to hear the man's clear, deep voice through the tightly shut door:

"Hello, everyone. I'm Qingyi. About the animated film our company will be releasing soon..."

Su Qingqian watched Gu Zhouyi earnestly livestreaming his clarification and nearly blacked out.

Who on earth was she dating???

*Bonus Scene

One day, inspiration struck Su Qingqian, and she suggested using voice acting as the basis for their new animation.

Gu Zhouyi listened quietly, took off his gold-rimmed glasses, then swept her into his arms and pinned her to the carpet.

Su Qingqian: ?

The man slowly lowered himself, brushing her ear as he spoke:

"Didn't you say you needed material? What kind of voice do you want to hear? Hmm?"

This is probably a story about a scheming older man carefully plotting his way forward, or perhaps about two hopeless romantics slowly figuring things out (shrugs).
