Chapter 27: Chapter 27 - Autumn Tale 7.3
"Hi, xiao shimei"
After Xia Liang finished her midterm exams, she still didn't have much free time. She was sitting in the lobby of the Business School with senior students discussing the next research project when their conversation was interrupted by a clear male voice.
Several people sitting around stopped their discussion and instinctively looked towards the entrance. Xia Liang, too, was looking for the person calling her. Though she was the youngest, just a sophomore, she took classes with junior and senior students due to her double major requirement. Once she heard someone call for "xiao shimei", she automatically assumed that they were calling her.
There were several Chinese members in their group. So it was not a surprise to them when they heard the term.
Xia Liang looked at the door and saw a face she was not familiar with. She searched her brain for quite a while before she remembered that this man seemed to be one of the guys that sat next to Song Qiyan in the library that one day.
Xia Liang stood up and gave a friendly smile, "How are you, shixiong."
Wei Jian was straightforward, "How are you. I am Wei Jian. I am a first year student in the Clinical Medicine PhD program this year."
First year...?
Xia Liang had felt that Wei Jian obviously was several years older than Song Qiyan. If she remembered correctly, Song Qiyan had told her that he was already in the second year of the PhD program?
Wei Jian naturally recognized the doubt in Xia Liang's eyes. He felt frustrated. "Xia Liang xiao shimei, not everyone can be as sharp as your man!" Song was three years younger than he but was one grade higher. Song started school early, skipped grades, and got into this special program, known for its competitive admissions. It was really unfair. No wonder all the blonde beauties chased after Song Qiyan.
What did he say...your man?
Xia Liang stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, "Oh, shixiong, were you looking for me?"
"Ah? What..…." Wei Jian rolled his eyes as if saying "I was trying very hard to find an excuse."
"It is..." What should he say. Should he say frankly that he was very curious about what kind of a girl who could attract Song Qiyan, the man who wouldn't be interested in anyone for thousands of years?
"Jeffrey." The sound came from the doorway behind Wei Jian, which was the sound of fatal attraction to Xia Liang.
"Ke..." Wei Jian had been caught and coughed immediately. "Hi, Qiyan, what brings you here?"
Song Qiyan wore his black hunting cap as usual. He pulled the rim of his cap. "I think, you and I are in the same research team." So, it was only normal that they both were summoned by their professor.
Wei Jian's mouth twitched.
The eyes underneath the cap scanned the people in the lobby and stopped on the girl who was standing. He strolled towards her.
Xia Liang blinked her eyes and watched the man walking closer step by step.
"Shixiong."
Song Qiyan nodded and stopped one step away from her. "The script you sent to me last time..."
Script (⊙o⊙)…?
Ah! Xia Liang remembered immediately about her awkward mistake after she added Song Qiyan's QQ. As she was finished reading the script of 'Ting Yin Gu'. She had written some notes on it and was about to sending it back to the director. Because she had just added the new QQ account under the name "Yan", she accidentally clicked on it and sent out the script...Since she had not received any response, she simply pretended that he did not see it and didn't bother asking him.
She heard Song Qiyan slowly speak, "I'm not very busy lately. If you haven't found the cv for Tan Taixin, I can give it a try."
Tan Taixin was the lead male role in the audio drama 'Ting Yin Gu'.
Xia Liang instantly widened her eyes, this was unbelievable.
Wow, this was the Bei Yan Da Da who had stopped voice acting on the internet ever since his debut audio drama 'Mandate of Heaven'...
"What?" Song Qiyan looked at her in puzzlement.
Xia Liang couldn't even speak smoothly, "uhr, actually…...I had mistakenly sent it to you. I thought you hadn't see it so I didn't want to bother you with an explanation. That…...only that, uhr, it's going to a piece produced by our workshop and the other main character is me. But..." But, wouldn't Bei Yan Da Da despise this kind of minor work? Would he?
"Hello, hello!" Wei Jian couldn't help interrupting them and put his arm around Song Qiyan's shoulder. "Are you two talking in Chinese? How come I can't understand it at all? Uhm? !"
Xia Liang stuck out her tongue. "Sorry shixiong."
Wei Jian continued to tease Xia Liang, "Ah, ha, you call everyone shixiong! No, no, it won't show how special your 'Song shixiong' is. Tut, I think you should just call him 'Qiyan'."
Xia Liang blushed instantly.
She would be an extreme idiot if she still could not tell what Wei Jian was teasing her about…...
"Shixiong, you..." Xia Liang argued with a flushed face.
Song Qiyan coldly pushed away Wei Jian's arm from his shoulder and warned him in a low voice, "Wei Jian."
He was almost driven crazy by Wei Jian's assistance. He had been very careful at managing their relationship to prevent any mistake. He acted without any undue haste in order not to make her feel offended. On the other hand, he did not want to be lovesick from acting too slowly. Wei Jian was too straightforward in making his intentions so clear..
Fortunately, when he looked at Xia Liang, he only found some shyness on her face for being teased openly. There wasn't a shred of anger. So, he stopped worrying.
Song Qiyan looked at her for two seconds. His voice was was still something she would never tire of hearing, "After you finish here, let's go eat dinner together. We will discuss it then."
Xia Liang nodded, "All right."
A dinner had thus been arranged.
Chapter 28: Chapter 28 - Autumn Tale 8.1
In a Korean restaurant in Seattle, Song Qiyan and Xia Liang sat facing each other at a table next to the window.
It was supposed to be a perfect picture, but unfortunately there was the extremely annoying third person who should not be there at all...
Wei Jian coughed lightly and touched his head. He was indeed too insensible today...He decided that he would order silently and eat silently!
Though Xia Liang felt a little bit uneasy, but Song Qiyan did not care about Wei Jian at all. After he ordered, he acted like nobody was around and started to chat with Xia Liang about voice acting.
Song Qiyan: "I briefly looked at the personality of the character Tan Taixin. My voice should match this character."
Xia Liang: O_O...
Song Qiyan: "If this character is still open, then let me try it." He mentioned it again.
Xia Liang: O_O...
Song Qiyan: "What?"
Xia Liang drily coughed. She felt a little timid and scratched her hair. "Uhm, actually, I'm just a little bit surprised."
"Surprised?" Song Qiyan looked at her seriously.
Xia Liang sipped some tea. "Umm...How to say it. I always thought that Bei Yan Da Da was so remotely distant from us small characters. But suddenly I found that we have the chance to work together. And you promised so readily. Sort of...uhm, I felt like I was hit by a meat pie."
Now it was Song Qiyan's turn being speechless for a while this time. Then he smiled a little bit helplessly and pointed at his nose. "Do I look like very distant?"
Xia Liang waved her hand promptly. "Of course not!"
"Then why did you...?" Song Qiyan could not understand.
Xia Liang smiled bashfully. "Because Song Qiyan and Bei Yan have a lot of differences. Even though I know that you are Bei Yan, I still feel...uhm, it's a very strange feeling."
Song Qiyan almost understood by now. He drank some tea and looked seriously, "There is no difference. They are all me. We are...friends, aren't we?"
Xia Liang paused then smiled sweetly. "Uhm, well, then may we work together happily for <Ting Yin Gu>. And please, Bei Yan Da Da, don't give me the cold shoulder."
Song Qiyan replied earnestly. "I won't."
Xia Liang, "..." You did not need to be so serious for every response. It was very awkward==
Then Song Qiyan said out of nowhere, "And, do you like meat pie?"
Xia Liang, ...what?
Song Qiyan lowered his head and picked up a paper bag from the floor which he had been carring in his hand all along. The bag was pretty big. It looked like it was completely full of something. He put that bag on the table and pushed it to Xia Liang.
"For me?" Xia Liang was curious.
Song Qiyan nodded and indicated for her to open it.
She put the bag on her lap and looked inside. She found that it was full of assorted Chinese snacks. She flipped through them with surprise. Hangzhou's green bean cakes, vacuum packaged braised bamboo shoots, duck tongues, boxed rice cake and the traditional meat cakes, all kinds of assorted snacks.
She was in a daze and looked up at Song Qiyan dumbfoundedly.
Song Qiyan saw that she apparently liked it. He relaxed his clenched right hand in his pocket a little bit. "Meat cake, it could be counted as meat pie."
Xia Liang still looked silly. That wasn't the point. Ah, Bei Yan Da Da...
Song Qiyan pushed down the brim of his hat and uneasily explained. "My family sent them over to me. It's too much. I could not eat them all. I thought you would like it." As a matter of fact, he specifically called home and asked his family mail this large bag of snacks to him. He gave all of them to Xia Liang.
Wei Jian who sat next to him, felt as if he almost did not exist. Obviously Song Qiyan did not even bother to look at him. Whenever he was going to talk, he would receive a stern look of warning. Inside, he wanted to protest this treatment. Wei Jian took a deep breath. He stopped his desire to talk.
Brother, please give me some if you could not eat them all! Didn't you know that I have been driven crazy by the American food here?! Why don't you donate some to me. Ah, you bastard, are you still my brother or not! ┭┮﹏┭┮
