Tea of Summer - Chapter 29 & 30: Autumn Tale 8.2 & 8.3

Chapter 29

Autumn Tale 8.2

After they ate dinner, Song Qiyan took Xia Liang back to her apartment first again.  Then he and Wei Jian slowly walked back to his rental apartment.

The way Wei Jian looked at Song Qiyan now had ‘gals before pals’ written all over it and he despised him thoroughly.

No more brotherly love╭(╯^╰)╮

Xia Liang sent out a safety text via WeChat after she was back at her apartment.  She hugged that large bag of snacks back to her own room.  She quickly turned on the laptop and logged into qq with a meat cake stuffed in her mouth.

Though she had just eaten dinner, but, really, it was really, really delicious!

Xia Liang’s admiration to Song Qiyan had risen up one more notch.  Really, Song shixiong was so thoughtful.

She logged on to qq while she was a little distracted.  She opened Xiaoyu’s qq and typed in the words carefully.

[Zi Xia: Well,  Xiaoyu, I found a voice actor who can audition for the lead actor role.]

Xiaoyu happened to be online.  She replied quickly.

[Xiaoyu: Ah, really, really? Big help! I haven’t found anyone from all the audition recordings recently.  Who is it?  Is he someone in Da Da’s club?  Wow, it must be a big god! ]

[Zi Xia: Hey, he is not in my club, but he is indeed a big god…… ]

[Xiaoyu: (⊙o⊙)…  Da Da, don’t tantalize me! ]

[Zi Xia: Then you keep cool. ]

[Xiaoyu: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻ Tell me quickly. ]

[Zi Xia: Umm, it’s Bei Yan. ]

[Xiaoyu: …………………….]

Before she had time to continue the conversation, her screen was filled with Xiaoyu’s dots.  Xia Liang silently bit the meat cake and thought. It looked like she was not the one who lost her mind the most from this revelation.

Finally Xiaoyu calmed down a little bit after 10 minutes.  Then they were able to continue the conversation.

[Xiaoyu: Da Da, I may not know as much as you do, but don’t lie to me. ]

[Zi Xia: ……It was real.]

[Xiaoyu: That Bei Yan Da Da? ]

[Zi Xia: ……Right, it is him. ]

[Xiaoyu: …………….Do not go through the damn audition and just let him join us directly! Damn it, that is Bei Yan Da Da. Ah !!!!! ]

[Zi Xia: ……Be more civilized, girl. ]

Xia Liang silently stuffed the rest of the meat cake into her mouth.  She held her cheeks and watched the screen displaying Xiaoyu’s explosion.  She knew that it would be a heavyweight bomb.

She just ignored Xiaoyu’s following message bombardment and quietly exited the internet.

Chapter 30

Autumn 8.3

Everything that came next seemed to move smoothly and naturally.

Xia Liang sent the script and other stuff to Song Qiyan.  He replied quickly.  But he used WeChat and sent a voice mail.  The noisy background obviously showed that he was still on the way home.

Song Qiyan, “I will download it after I go back.  I will send the recording to your mailbox as quickly as I can.  Then you send it to director for me.  Tell me if there is any place that needs a re-do.”

Right after this, the next message already started to play, “Go to bed early, Good night. Xia Liang.”

Xia Liang looked at the little alarm clock on the end table.  It was obviously only a little past 8PM.  Xia Liang was silent for a while.  She replied “Good night” and took a change of clothes to take a shower.  Then she went to sleep.

Around 9 o’clock, Lin Qian came back to their apartment.  She saw clearly that Xia Liang’s shoes were at the door, but there was no sound inside the room.  It was very rare that the night owl Miss Xia Liang went to bed to sleep so early.  What’s wrong with her?

Xia Liang didn’t wake up until morning.

After sleeping a full 10 hours, Xia Liang felt very refreshed.

She stretched and as usual, checked the messages on her cell while still in bed. When she was checking her emails, she was so shocked that she almost dropped her cell.

Xia Liang almost burst into tears.

Bei Yan Da Da, you did not have to be so dedicated.  He had finished all the recordings in one night!

She was the leading actress assigned a long time ago but she had not started yet……

There was Bei Yan’s voice mail in WeChat.  The time was a little past 2 o’clock in the morning.

“I briefly read through the novel and finished recording.  Send it to the director first.  Let me know if there is any problem.”  He seemed to have yawned, “It is very late.  You should have fallen asleep already.  Good night.”

Xia Liang held her cell blankly.  She was thoroughly hit by that little tired words, “Good night.”

Xia Liang, you’re doomed, completely……
