Xu Moyan smiled, showing the upper row part of her white teeth. Her face was clearing saying, ‘I haven’t even said anything. What are you so nervous about?’

Zheng Yuntong fumingly gave her a quick glare, then she said, “I was going to prepare some instant noodles and eat whilst I watch TV drama series later, I wanted to ask you if you wanted any.”

Xu Moyan looked at the time and asked, “We just finished our meals, right?”

“Sigh, my stomach’s elasticity is way too elastic. It’s ready to take in more.” Zheng Yuntong stroked her belly and laughed, “Mainly, if I don’t eat some junk food whilst watching television, my mouth couldn’t handle staying unoccupied.”

Xu Moyan glanced at the time; there was still a quarter of an hour left before it started. Moreover, Yu Linling would not appear that soon.

Just at the right moment, the administration used bold red letters to make a few announcements on the screen.

‘Yu Linling, my liege, could only come online around 10 p.m. due to work reasons.’

Hence, Xu Moyan got up feeling at ease, saying, “Instant noodles, right? I’ll make some for you. Don’t cook it straight out of the package; it’s not healthy. Moreover, you’re still young now, so you have a good metabolism. That’s why it’s hard for you to get fat just from eating. After two more years, the body’s metabolism would slow down and could d*mn you to death with fatness.”

“Hehe,” Zheng Yuntong chuckled as she hugged Xu Moyan. “Therefore, I should eat it now while I’m still young. Moyan, you’re the best. Living with you is my true blessing.”

Xu Moyan sneered at her. She looked at Zheng Yuntong’s appearance that was kissing up to her and could not help but laughed.

“Ah, since you’re going to be in action. I’ll take a video of you, and later we’ll sit down and post it online,” Zheng Yuntong said.

Xu Moyan thought about it and nodded, “Sounds good.”

Xu Moyan was actually a famous gourmet food master on Weibo. She had been doing it since the days she was co-renting with Lin Chu.

The two of them had just started working, and they had a low salary. There was not much money left after paying the rent, so their living expenses were limited. It was extraordinarily expensive to eat out and not to mention the food had no nutritional value. The small restaurants in B City in the evening would constantly be jam-packed with people. The pace of living for people of this age was fast, and youngsters were quite unwilling to prepare meals themselves. They would rather eat meals that were just enough to get by or call for take-out.

If they were to go for a meal, they had to line up for it; and if they called for take-out at home, they had to pay for delivery fees. A meal would cost around 50 Yuan, and they simply did not have enough to support the cost of living.

Therefore, Xu Moyan and Lin Chu tried to cook their meals as often as possible. They both had greats cooking skills, and because Xu Moyan was an advertisement planner who had to use her head frequently, she liked to mull over new ways of doing something.

Since it would take time to cook up something anyway, she might as well use her mobile phone to make videos of the cooking process and upload it to Weibo after some editing. Only her hands would be exposed in the videos, and other than a soundtrack, she need not use her voice. At the time, she started her account early, so it was before online videos began to blow up. She now had an orange V gourmet account with quite a reputation, and now there were more than 400,000 fans in her account. She could also rely on advertising to earn extra income, just in line with her profession. Her sideline business has been successful enough that she now had an additional four to five thousand Yuan income each month.

Her Weibo account was called Silent Words, and her colleagues did not know about it; only Lin Chu, who lived with her before and Zheng Yuntong, who was living with her currently knew about it.

She did not expect Zheng Yuntong to be one of her Weibo fans. In the beginning, they were polite with each other when they first lived together. It was due to unfamiliarity, and their everyday lives were more restrained in terms of doing and talking about things.

Once, Xu Moyan had come home from work early, she was cooking at home and made extra to share with Zheng Yuntong. Zheng Yuntong’s cooking skills belonged in the line that she just had to make sure the food was cooked through before eating them. After that, the relationship between the two grew closer. Then the next day, Zheng Yuntong saw the video she had posted online and noticed, was that not her own house? Even the tablewares looked familiar. Then, she became aware of Xu Moyan’s identity, and the two’s relationship got ultimately closer.

If Zheng Yuntong were around, she would be the one holding on to the phone and take the video for her.

From then on, the matters of cooking in the house were handed over to Xu Moyan, and Zheng Yuntong would be responsible for washing the dishes.

Zheng Yuntong took the mobile phone and pointed it toward Xu Moyan’s hands. Xu Moyan’s hands were gorgeous. They were slim and fair, and her fingers were slender. Her fingertips were sharp and looked as tender as a scallion. If one were to watch Xu Moyan’s videos, it was a pleasure to just look at her hands.

Xu Moyan cooked the instant noodles and rinsed it through running water twice. It was to rid of the oil and preservatives on the noodles. Then, she placed it on the side. Next, onions, garlic cloves, and carrots were finely cut before tossed into the pan for frying. She mashed the tomatoes into a thick paste and mixed it with the instant noodles’ flavored powder and soy sauce packet, then added some water into the mix. It was added to the vegetables and simmered to a thick sauce before being poured onto the cooked instant noodles.

“An instant noodle version of pasta. Here, take it and go eat,” Xu Moyan gave the plate to Zheng Yuntong.

“Wow! Moyan, you’re an angel sent from above. It smells so good!” Zheng Yuntong took the plate and smelled it as she swallowed her saliva. “I’ll take it over from here; I’ll do the dishes after eating.”

“Go and eat, don’t worry about it. I’ll clean up here,” Xu Moyan said, already placing the pan into the sink.

Zheng Yuntong did not try to be formal and walked away with the plate of noodles.

Xu Moyan cleaned up and returned to her bedroom, the campaign had begun, but because Yu Linling had not shown up, Xu Moyan started to edit the video she took earlier as she listened to the interview. Perfection was made by practice, as she had produced videos lots of time, she was fast in editing and adding in the subtitles as well as the soundtrack.

She played it once from start to finish, and there seemed to be no issues found. Then, she checked if her logo and also Weibo address and account were there and proceeded to upload it to Weibo via Miaopai. (TN: Miaopai (Chinese: 秒拍) is a Chinese video sharing and live streaming service.)

Afterward, she added in a paragraph, ‘The roommate wanted to eat instant noodles whilst watching The Empress. But instant noodles are not healthy, so I changed it up a little for her. Those that are way too lazy to cook but think that instant noodles are unhealthy can check this out. If you guys have eaten earlier, and fried food is too greasy, you can try and wash the noodles after cooking them to rid of the preservatives. Try rolling them into small pieces using chopsticks and fry them up, then poured the sauce all over. It’s a whole new flavor, ( o )/’

Then, she looked at the screen and found that it was the cover singer from the ancientry community turn to sing. His fans were frantically gifting to cover the costs for stage props and were unceasingly flooding the forum. He was much more popular than the singer that came out before him.

While listening to the song, Xu Moyan took her phone to refresh the comment section, and not long after she had posted, there were already 132 comments on her video.

“The OP is the good roommate of China.”

“I’m so jealous. Are you still looking for a roommate? A type that likes to eat and drink.”

“It looks easy and convenient. The ingredients could easily be found around the house. I’ll test it out tomorrow!”

At this time, the ancientry singer had gone off his mic. The host, Cold Song of Muye’s voice, started to ring through, “It’s 10 o’clock now. Yu Linling, my liege, is current on the line. Let us welcome Yu Linling, our liege!”

After Cold Song of Muye finished his sentences, he handed the mic over to Yu Linling. Xu Moyan’s heart skipped a beat, and her gaze was fixed onto the words on the screen, which had the three-letter words ‘Yu Linling’ written on it. The rational her had never understood those that would cry and weep out for their idols, and not allowing others to bad- mouth their idols, as well as those fans that would cry in worrisome.

However, now, her eyes started to sting, and her cheeks felt itchy from the moisture that was slipping through. She raised her hand and gently wiped it, and then she saw the water that was traced on to her fingertips.

The screen was not at all calm as well. They were posting crying emojis and calling out for Yu Linling.

However, the mic was silent.

Cold Song of Muye took the mic back, “Erm. Yu Linling, my liege? Yu Linling, my liege, are you still there?”

‘I’m here, sorry. It’s my first time using this software. How do I talk?’ A small system default font suddenly appeared on the public screen.

It was quickly flooded by other fans’ shout out. But some fans that had good eyes saw it and copied it; Yu Linling’s words began to flood the chat.

“Stop the shout now, you guys’ have flooded away Yu Linling, my liege’s words.”

Cold Song of Muye saw it as well and hurriedly said, “Yu Linling, my liege, right now the administrative mic sequence mode is turned on. Later, I’ll get off the mic and you can just proceed to start talking.”

After he had finished explaining, Cold Song of Muye went off. The first person on the sequence became Yu Linling.

“Alright,” Yu Linling’s voice started to sound. It was low and faint; it was particularly well-matched with the night scene outside the window, calm and elegant as well as pleasant to the ear, and also gentle like spring. His low voice carried silks of magnets in them.

Xu Moyan felt that it would not be an exaggeration to say that his voice was like a magnet that could firmly hold on to people’s hearts.

“Hi, everyone. I’m...” Yun Linling paused for an unknown reason before he continued. “Yu Linling. I’m sorry, I don’t use this name often, so I’m not used to it. It feels a little weird to call myself this way.”

“AAhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” Xu Moyan could not contain her excitement as she shrieked out.

She felt something was not right. Suddenly, she rushed toward the door and closed it. Then, she continued to scream after sitting back down.

She guessed that other people were not much better than her. Because other than the “Aaahhhhhhhhh” nothing else was on the public screen.

It was an indescribable feeling for her. Six years had been too long. It was such a long time that she thought the movie ‘Massacre’ would be the first and last time she got to hear this voice. It had been so long that she felt that she might never get to listen to it again.

She had never expected to hear this voice that she was continually thinking about again today. Moreover, she was able to hear so much of it.

It did not have resonance like in the movies and did not go through voice processing. It was his actual voice that he would use to talk to others, but it was still as pleasant as before.

Xu Moyan knew there was a possibility that she would never fall in love with any other voice anymore.

For the first time, she had experienced the sorrow of being a ‘voice-activated dog’.
