The two girls continued discussing in full swing beside her, but the more Mo Lan listened the more she felt ill at ease.
Sure enough… everyone had quite a huge expectation towards Secretly Captivated"s drama.
She, herself didn"t know if her script would actually pa.s.sed, admittedly… a little worried.
With a small sigh, Mo Lan stepped off the train.
In the afternoon, Mo Lan, with great difficulty, managed to convinced herself to temporarily forget about all of this, and started to throw herself into her work, when suddenly her mobile phone vibrated, she unlocked the phone, it was a WeChat message from Secretly Captivated:
GYM: Congratulations, the script pa.s.sed.
He said… the script pa.s.sed?
Mo Lan stared blankly, her first reaction was that her heart which have been hanging all day, was finally at rest. After she calmed down, she felt a little excited again. This sentence meant that… Secretly Captivated will be dubbing the script she wrote?
Her beautiful dream from three years ago was actually crazily coming true? This kinda feeling was simply too awesome, okay!
After work, Mo Lan was unable to control her cheerful mood at that very moment, and even walked home with a bounce in her steps.
After she reached home, An Xiaoluo wasn"t home yet, after a long afternoon, she was planning to tell An Xiaoluo the good news upon reaching home, instead she sighed somewhat resentfully.
Sure enough… for the majority of the time, An Xiaoluo the workaholic spends it working overtime.
Mo Lan returned to her bedroom and turned on the computer.
Speaking of which, the different personalities between each person can be seen through their daily words and actions. For example, the carefree An Xiaoluo, have always liked to use her computer at the dining table in the living room, where else the relatively reserved Mo Lan, prefered to hide in her small bedroom, with her headphones, and then silently turned on the computer.
Immediately after logging into QQ, Mo Lan received an invitation to join a QQ group. The name… turned out to be Jiuxiao Dubbing Group. Mo Lan, who was a little nervous and a little excited, took a deep breath, and then clicked “Accept.”
She thought back to her four years of secretive lurking*, a small transparent fan, unexpectedly joined the official group of Jiuxiao… This kinda feeling was as if she suddenly stood at the peak of the pyramid.
(潜水 qián shuǐ – actually means to dive but also means lurker which is an internet slang for somebody who reads forum posts but never replies)
As soon as she entered the group, the QQ"s system “Di Di Di” non-stop.
Producer-Honey Lemon: Hey, is this the rhythm of newcomers joining the group?
Screenwriter-Ran Ran*: Nope, this girl is the author of the new play yo.
(slowly)
Designer-Falling Jade Necklace: Ah ah, the author of the new drama? Was that the script you showed me early this morning? This girl wrote well, these type of obscure and hazy brotherhood story is the most loved!
Mo Lan looked at their discussion, and was slightly embarra.s.sed, after she thought about it for a moment, she had better first formally replied:
Ye Lanshan: h.e.l.lo everyone~ I"m Ye Lanshan, I"m glad to meet all of you.
Screenwriter-Bamboo Jade: Welcome welcome, I"m one of Jiuxiao"s screenwriter, hope we"ll have a pleasant collaboration in the future.
Post-production-In A Flash Rosy Cheeks Becomes Old*: Welcome welcome, a warm welcome (Scatters flowers)
(彈指紅顏老 tán zhǐ hóng yán lǎo – i think it means in a flash/snap of fingers the rosy cheeks/young beauty/beautiful woman/youth becomes old so let"s stick with the “shorter” version)
Seeing that everyone seemed to be getting along, Mo Lan"s heart which was in a mess had now eventually settled.
As the group of people were chatting happily, suddenly, Bai Yu Luo Bo turned up.
CV-Bai Yu Luo Bo: Aiya, Lan Shan is here, welcome welcome~
Screenwriter-Ran Ran: Hey, Xiao Luo Bo is online? Come and let jie jie* harra.s.s*~
(older sister)
(make fun of)
Post-Production-In A Flash Rosy Cheeks Becomes Old: Has Xiao Luo Bo missed me these few days?
CV-Bai Yu Luo Bo: Rosy Cheeks, you"d better release the new drama first before talking… I"ve almost been attacked by the fans from all sides, I"ve obviously already given you my raw recording* way earlier, okay!
(乾音 gān yīn – dry sound – this took a while to decipher – dry means without any effects i.e. without any post productions – )
Post-Production-In A Flash Rosy Cheeks Becomes Old: (tears) Sorry ah, Xiao Luo Bo, I"ll get to it straight away once I"m back from my business trip! Shui Shui has already started, but she does have her hands full doing it by herself.
Post-Production-Shui Shui Ruo Er*: Already dog-tired, begging you to come back quickly, I really can"t bear it alone…
(水水若兒 shuǐ shuǐ ruò er – water water like child – sounds nicer in Chinese so we"ll stick with the pinyin)
CV-Bai Yu Luo Bo: Okay okay, I didn"t mean to rush you, jokes meng meng da. By the way, I was just outside hanging with my cla.s.smates, and ended up being called back with a phone call from Momo, he said that both he and Ah Mi were available, so we plan to PIA the play to try to find the feeling, I"m informing you out of the kindness of my heart so that you can go watch…
Seeing this, Mo Lan was surprised and excited.
She remembered, the Secretly Captivated from before, basically only did raw recordings, she have almost never heard him PIA a drama on the spot.
Producer-Honey Lemon: Ah ah ah, really? I"m going to go watch! I"ll see everybody in YY!
Post-Production-Shui Shui Ruo Er: See you in YY +1
Screenwriter-Bamboo Jade: See you in YY +2
Screenwriter-Ran Ran: See you in YY +3
Post-Production-In A Flash Rosy Cheeks Becomes Old: … Bullying me! I"m still outside on my business trip ying ying ying, please record!
Designer-Falling Jade Necklace: No problemo, I will remember, don"t forget to treat me to dinner when you come back!
Post-Production-In A Flash Rosy Cheeks Becomes Old: meng meng da!
Mo Lan also followed and minimize the QQ window, then logged into YY, and entered Jiuxiao"s official channel.
After she entered, very rapidly, the room manager dragged her into the room where Secretly Captivated and them were in.
As soon as she entered the room, she heard a voice clearly rang in the silence:
“Oh? No wonder I have never seen him in the palace before.”
The ending of the first sentence rose slightly, extremely distinguished and accomplished. Obviously an indulgent and unruly tone, yet the n.o.bleness and gracefulness can be felt by people, one that can"t be tarnished. Although indifferent, the words were obscure and apparently seemed to be very interested.
It was simply a brilliant expression of the inner emotional state of mind from when Li Huai"en first met Li Chengde, true to life.
Unexpectedly being able to hear Secretly Captivated"s voice once she came in… Mo Lan"s heartbeat accelerated, felt that even before it started, her blood tank have been emptied.
“Your Highness, those people are all already here.”
Su Qingmo"s deep voice sounded, dignified, solemn and respectful, yet it made people feel that he won"t be startled by billows, a very imposing steadiness. This voice… once heard sets one"s mind at rest.
Then, finally came the highlight of the play.
“Ge… why? You"re obviously not like that!”
Bai Yu Luo Bo"s clear and sonorous youthful voice sounded, his incredulous tone trembled slightly, and he even faintly brought out a sob, indeed very much becoming the character.
Mo Lan listened until she didn"t even dared to breath a sound, wasn"t this a PIA drama? Why is it so similar to the finished product, except for the BGM, it was essentially so perfect that it"ll be hard for people to nitpick.
“Chengde, the former you, would never have lost his temper with me.”
Indifferent, elegantly distinguished and accomplished, faint with a hint of indulgence, completely unable to distinguished between genuinity and a hoax, and can"t differentiate… whether in this person"s heart, was he being affectionate or fickle-minded?
“But… ge, you have already murdered so many innocent people, why would you want to do this?” The originally clear and sonorous voice now sounded somewhat hoa.r.s.e, bringing a bit of velvety softness, and when it came to the last sentence, he was somewhat already choked with emotion, as if about to cry in the next second.
The scene went quiet for a while, then, Secretly Captivated"s voice appeared word by word:
“I did it so… you can seat righteously on the throne, for you to enjoy the worship from all the people.”
Just a moment ago, the still in white, indulgent prince tone vanished all of a sudden, his voice not loud at all, but it was clear enough to let people feel, that every word he uttered was extremely solemn. Alike the sound of a carved jade, with a touch of tenderness and yearning.
Simply heartbreaking just by listening to it.
This was Mo Lan"s favorite line, while she was writing the script, although the wording went extremely smooth and unhindered, but in reality, she also didn"t carefully delved into Li Huai"en"s mental behaviour.
Instead, Secretly Captivated at this moment, just with one word, and it seemed that the scene just reappeared.
She closed her eyes, seemingly able to see the tender scene of the crown prince in the throne room that was filled with dragon engravings and paintings of phoenixes, the n.o.ble and proud His Highness the crown prince bending down, wiping away the tears of the young boy before his eyes, so tender… somewhat sorrowful.
“Okay, we"ll stop here for the time being.” An uncle"s gentle and mellow voice sounded, it was Su Qingmo.
“Lanshan meizi*, the script is not bad, you"ve worked hard~” The soft velvety voice of the young man"s voice, as expected, once it appeared, Bai Yu Luo Bo"s voice immediately gave off a happy vibe, there wasn"t even a bit of the agonized emotional sense from just before.
(妹子 mèi zi – (dialect) younger sister/ girl – I"m not sure how to translate this into English so I"ll keep this. Previously, it was easier to slip something else in.)
Mo Lan, who was listening and utterly captivated, returned back to her senses, feeling somewhat regretful.
“Ye Lanshan?”
The last syllable rose slightly, the low voice appeared to be somewhat indulgent, extremely alluring.
Mo Lan"s heart in an instant started to go in a mess again, she took a deep breath, pressed F2, then said, “I"m here.”
En, not bad, she has finally learnt to remained calm in front of him.
“The recent play, were there any problem?”
Such a soft and gentle tone.
Mo Lan touched her stomach, telling herself to stay calm and collected, calm and collected, now that she was the author, she should put forward her ideas, instead of making a fool of herself.
Biting her lip while recalling everything that she had just heard, Mo Lan quietly encouraged herself, and then said in a small voice: “Well, I think… you don"t have any issues, Su Qingmo DaDa needs to be a little bit more serious, because Ameng"s character was set to be precisely similar to a facial nerve paralysed person, basically you won"t be able to hear any emotion from his voice. Then for Xiao Luo Bo, just now that last sentence was a little too… agonising*.”
(受 shòu – to receive / to accept / to suffer / subjected to / to bear / to stand / pleasant / (pa.s.sive marker/ the receiver or the more pa.s.sive person in a gay relationship
So, as you can see, I got confused. So I think the next two paragraphs was a play on the word but I don"t really get it. I"ll put an asterisk where they used the word and you can decipher it yourself ?)
“Hey hey hey, Lanshan meizi you are too much! What do you mean don"t be too agonised* and that"s good? I obviously haven"t suffered* at all, all right!” As soon as Mo Lan"s words fell, Bai Yu Luo Bo had already jumped out and vindicated himself, but his tone was soft and velvety, very unconvincing.
“En, I will pay attention to improve myself.” Su Qingmo sincerely accepted Mo Lan"s suggestion, and then he said, jokingly, “However our Xiao Luo Bo is always attacking, definitely not accepting*.” The uncle"s deep voice sounded, with a faint smile in his tone, very amiable and approachable.
“Ah… by the way, Ye Lanshan meizi, were you the girl playing the guzheng version of《Senbon Sakura》on the Weibo post that Mi Da reposted?” A quiet and exquisite female voice appeared, Mo Lan glanced at the mic order, and the ID that had a green dot in front, was Shui Shui.
Mo Lan 囧, a little embarra.s.sed, she just wanted to reach out and press the F2 key to speak, but somebody else grabbed the mic first.
“Yeah, that"s her. Because《Senbon Sakura》was very popular before and the other day, it so happened that Xiao Mi and I were talking about this, I said I liked the cover from Funeral Flowers the best, and asked him who he liked. As a result, he didn"t say anything, he just directly tagged me on Weibo, when I saw it I was also startled okay, for years he hasn"t reposted other people"s Weibo.”
Su Qingmo, who hasn"t always spoke much, seemed to be quite interested in this topic, he didn"t even paused, so he naturally ended up speaking more than normal.
Mo Lan quickly retracted her hand, to have spoken in this kind of situation… it would simply be too awkward, right?
At this moment, Bai Yu Luo Bo seemed to suddenly have thought of something, he spoke a little puzzedly: “That"s right, Ah Mi, you"ve finished work quite early today.”
Secretly Captivated"s low voice sounded, a little lazy, exhaustion came through: “I"ve been on the night shift continously for five days, today day-off.”
Night shift continously for five days?
Mo Lan was a little surprised. After recovering from the surprise, the mindset of a fangirl appeared, she felt a bit of heart pain. She couldn"t helped but felt that Secretly Captivated"s workplace was really such a bully, to actually enslaved male G.o.d T^T
Suddenly she remembered the last time… the night she sung for him, that night his voice was a bit hoa.r.s.e, and he seemed very tired. Later, it was almost eleven o"clock at night, when his colleague called him. Then… he would have continued working she guessed.
Although she doesn"t know what was Secretly Captivated"s real life occupation, but she still felt that, it was really hard. Of course, he was also very dedicated to his work.
“Oh… Ah Mi, you still have to take good care of your health. Although work is important, your health is more important.” Bai Yu Luo Bo"s voice rang velvety and softly, just like a meek gentle lamb.
“En… the last time I was on a business trip nearby Ah Mi"s home, when I called and asked him to come out for dinner, he was eating instant noodles. Speaking of this, would you have imagined that he was the kind of person who doesn"t take care of himself?” Su Qingmo added, although he seemed to be complaining, his voice did sound a little worried.
As soon as the voice disappeared, everyone began to lose their composure.
Mo Lan was also losing her composure.
If you eat too much junk food like instant noodles, if you"ve ate too much don"t only say it"s bad for your health, it would also have some sort of impact on your throat, especially for popular CVs like Secretly Captivated, strongly protecting one"s own throat was definitely a top priority in his life.
“Ah ah ah, Mi Da actually quietly eats instant noodles by himself? Imagine that picture, so depressing!” Another female voice appeared, Mo Lan glanced, it"s Ran Ran.
Shui Shui Ruo Er followed, totally distressed: “That"s right that"s right, how can I allow male G.o.d to eat instant noodles by himself! Next time, once you"ve finished work give me a call, my cooking skills is especially good, guaranteed to be available at any time!”
“Mi Da, eating too much junk food like instant noodles is bad for your health, can cause cardiovascular disease.” An older sister"s voice very seriously sounded, it was Bamboo Jade.
A little bit helpless, Secretly Captivated softly answered: “It"s not as serious as you say, sometimes it"s too late after work, too tired, so then I”ll cook and eat.”
A mild voice, a bit of helplessness, low and extremely alluring.
As soon as he spoke, it went quiet all around.
After a while, Shui Shui Ruo Er faintly said: “Male G.o.d, I"m begging you to please not talk to me in such an alluring voice, even though I have already known you for a few years, I"m still afraid I won"t be able to hold back…”
Bai Yu Luo Bo chuckled and laughed out loud: “When we first met, I wanted to tape his mouth shut when we were eating, it was extremely lethal.”
Bamboo Jade seemed to have discovered something, in a mocking tone: “That"s right Xiao Luo Bo, why are you so docile as soon as you"re in front of Mi Da? Not even a little bit of that baring fangs and brandishing claws* which you normally show to others.”
(张牙舞爪 zhāng yá wǔ zhǎo – idiom – to make threatening gestures)
“I"ve always shipped Mi Da and Xiao Luo Bo, you know? It"s just too moe and so loving!” Falling Jade Necklace followed excitedly.
“Doesn"t anyone think that Su Qingmo DaDa is a better perfect match with Xiao Luo Bo? Uncle attacks and tsundere accepts!”
“A flipped-out* receiver* – then only would it be really amazing!”
(炸毛 zhà máo – explode+hair = to flip out)
(受 shòu – we"re back here again!)
The scene was instantly fiery.
Mo Lan listened to everyone"s discussion and couldn"t helped laughing.
“Hey hey, that"s enough okay this group of fujoshi*, Ah Mi have always been regarded as the last straight man in the Voice Circle, hasn"t he? Why does he even have a CP?”
(in case you"ve forgotten – women who likes mangas about male h.o.m.os.e.xual love)
“Xiao Luo Bo, I"m also a straight man, okay.” The silent-from-the-beginning Su Qingmo retorted instantly.
Mo Lan, who was silently listening, suddenly felt… actually, the CP aura between them was the most powerful.
“Suddenly I felt that we are all redundant, aiya I think we"d better go, don"t disturb the couple flirting.”
“Makes sense.”
“Really makes sense.”
Then, one by one everyone seemed to have exited the room after coming to an agreement, apparently really planning to give them some private s.p.a.ce. As Mo Lan didn"t react much, there were only the four of them left, Secretly Captivated, Su Qingmo, Bai Yu Luo Bo, and herself.
“Hey, you guys are really leaving? Bo-ring, I"m leaving too, just so happen that the dormitory is going to close soon, see you guys~” Bai Yu Luo Bo seemed rather bored, not sure what was in his mouth, he swallowed and spoke unclearly, then followed everybody else"s footsteps and exited the room.
“…en, see you later.” The always calmed Su Qingmo threw out the few words and also quickly left.
And Mo Lan now only had one proverb* left in her head… the man sings and the woman follows*. Oh actually, it should be husband sings husband follows.
(成语 chéng yǔ – Chinese set expression, typically of 4 characters, often alluding to a story or historical quotation/ idiom/ proverb/ saying/ adage – i thought this was interesting)
(夫唱妇随 fū chàng fù suí – fig. marital harmony/ lit husband sings wife follows)
“Ye Lanshan?”
With a lilt at the end, for no reason it added a little confusion.
After she heard his words, Mo Lan later finally reacted, the main point was not that everyone had left, but… the room was now, due to an unexpected turn of events, left with only Secretly Captivated and her.
“I, I"m here.” Although felt a little awkward, but Mo Lan still went on the mic and answered softly.
Secretly Captivated unhurriedly, still in a low, light as water, exceptionally pleasant voice: “The script is really pretty good.”
Mo Lan blanked for a moment, so was she now being praised by male G.o.d…
“Thank you male G.o.d! Speaking of this, I have to thank you for insisting that I took this up at that time.”
As soon as this sentence was spoken, it seemed as if she suddenly thought of something, before waiting for Secretly Captivated to respond, Mo Lan continued to speak considerately: “That"s right, umm… don"t eat too much instant noodles kinda thing, it"s really not good for your health, if you normally finish work quite late at night, and if you don"t feel like eating out, I"ll teach you a method. You just need to take a bowl of noodles, then go through your refrigerator, randomly grab some carrots, enoki mushroom, or maybe some ham sausage and any other ingredients, add some seasonings, and eat them after it"s all boiled.” After a pause, she emphasised again, “It"s very simple and easy to make, it doesn"t waste any time. And… it"s very nutritious.”
After she had spoken such a long string of words in one extremely fluent breath, she suddenly felt that the atmosphere was somewhat strangely quiet. After a while, she heard Secret Captivated chuckled, entirely extremely distinguished and accomplished.
En… it really was a voice enthusiast Achilles" heel, Mo Lan bit her handkerchief, and silently cried.
“Are you good in cooking?” He asked, lazily, and seemed very content.
Mo Lan blanked for a moment, then answered, “It can"t be considered as awfully good, maybe because my mother is a really good cook, so I"ve inherited a bit of her genes… well, my cousin usually quite like to eat what I cooked. “
“Well… if it"s possible, I really want to give it a try.” His voice was low, very gentle, with a hint of a faint discernible implication.
And Mo Lan merely felt that she just blushed again T^T.
She froze for a moment, then seemed to be very natural and relaxed: “Male G.o.d, my coordinates is Nanjing, if you so happen to pa.s.s by, you can find the time to contact me!”
As soon as she spoke, she suddenly felt that these kind of words were a tad rude, after all, the two of them have only known each other for half a month… would he feel that she was too casual?
Secretly Captivated very quickly answered: “Don"t have to find the time, I"m also in Nanjing.”
With a smile in his low tone, indescribably charming and gentle.
He just said… he"s in Nanjing?
That"s not right, the main point should be… he actually lives in Nanjing as well.
Even though they don"t meet, knowing that her favourite lived in the same city as herself, breathing the same air, walking the same road, eating the same snacks… this kind of feeling, it was really too good to be true.
“Male G.o.d… is this considered as you exposing your own coordinates?” Mo Lan tried hard to suppress the excitement in her toneand whispered, gentle and agreeable as always.
Secretly Captivated with an unceasing smile in his tone, warmly replied: “Not considered as exposing my coordinates, everyone who is familiar with me knows.”
Everyone who is familiar with him knows…
The next second, Mo Lan"s brain heated up, she blurted out and asked, “So… male G.o.d means, he"s also familiar with me?”
Immediately after this sentence, Mo Lan realized that her tone was unusually, extremely coy*, simply hard-pressed wanting to b.u.mp against a chunk of tofu and commit suicide T^T.
(套近乎 tào jìn hū – to worm one"s way into being friends with somebody (usually derogatory))
“Well… you sing another song for me and I"ll tell you.”
Gentle and indolent, with a touching tone, with a thread of enticement, intoxicating one"s heart, just like a dream from their soul, neither knowing the time or the year.
Not needing to reach out to touch, Mo Lan could clearly sensed that her face was currently hot as if it"s on fire.
This voice thing… was really terrifying, okay.
Taking a deep breath, Mo Lan answered nonchalantly, “Okay, what would male G.o.d want to hear?”
“Anything.”
He chuckled, totally distinguished and accomplished.
Mo Lan blushed, while fanning herself with her own hand, she quickly looked for an accompaniment in the folder, when she reached《An Illusioned Life*》, she rolled her mouse and stopped, couldn"t helped but stopped.
(浮生賦 fú shēng fù – transient life endowment – one translated the first two words as a transient life, another said it meant “life is just an illusion”)
《An Illusioned Life》was a fan song written for the character Yun Tianqing in The Legend Of Sword And Fairy 4 (Chinese Paladin), she remembered… Secretly Captivated partic.i.p.ated in the internet dubbing of Legend 4, then let"s sing this song.
Getting the accompaniment and lyrics ready, Mo Lan cleared her throat, then said softly, “Urm… I start singing?”
“Okay.”
Very gentle, very alluring, very… indulgent.
While chanting “This is definitely my illusion”, Mo Lan forced herself to calmly open the accompaniment.
This song was also a relatively gentle slow song, although melancholic, but it wasn"t a bit pretentious. Mo Lan, as Secretly Captivated"s fangirl, currently in her heart, thought considerately, the other person have just finished five consecutive night shifts, he must be very tired, thus… it was better to sing a soothing song like this.
The accompaniment music flowed through like the blue spring water, Mo Lan accurately found the tempo and begun:
Previously this young man who had no reason to love
Desiring to approach heaven unknowingly worrying about the floating life
Crazy song laughs at the moon at thousand wine goblets
Drowning one"s sorrows in a single drink
Past grudges and hatred were like mayflies
Why absurdly ask oneself about life
It would be better to fly together bringing sleeves full of flowers
Both love together with hate, stop for the time being
(I have to confess that haven"t really translated this song as well as the previous songs. Time and relevance. Didn"t think it would matter that much and I"ve been extra busy at work due to WFH. Also, I"m not sure if it"s a him singing to her or a her singing to him.)
It was still as before an ancient song that was extremely closely suited to Mo Lan"s tone, Mo Lan sang softly, her voice was gentle and melancholic, indescribably made people felt as if somewhat in a mist.
Mo Lan was very fond of the song《An Illusioned Life》, she has kept the song for many years and was not willing to delete it. Of course, one of the reasons was because the song itself was nice, but the more important reason was in fact… she could hear Secretly Captivating"s voice because of this exact song.
Four years ago, Mo Lan who had never touched computer games before, with An Xiaoluo"s fierce recommendation, cleared Legend 4. For the first time ever, Mo Lan, a young literary and artsy kinda girl, came into contact with this kind of computer game and was unable to extricate herself from deeply immersing herself in the tears of love and hate in Legend 4. Later, she inadvertently heard the song《An Illusioned Life》online, although she didn"t really like Yun Tianqing that much, but she still had to admit that this song was really superb. No matter the lyrics, or the melody.
It was also, from that time onwards, that she knew that in this world, there exist something called the ancient style circle.
Later, she followed the song, found the internet dubbing CV, and naturally heard Secretly Captivated"s voice.
And later on again… it was no surprise that she became a voice enthusiast, she have been pa.s.sionately engrossed with it up until now still as before with no lack of enthusiasm. Perhaps… she"ll never ever abandon.
His scattered fine black hair, his eyes bright like the stars from the highest of the heavens
He unveiled his silk clothes, his long sleeves fluttering about
His sword pointed to the heavens, hard to go back to the same road again
Who knows one"s fate
I"ll drink to the memory of him raising his eyebrows to the moon
I"ll drink to us being drunk together
And I"ll save a drink in exchange for a glance of his beautiful eyes
Who messes with one"s fate
That was, after she heard Secretly Captivated"s voice, she realized that there was actually such a person in this world, using one"s voice as a weapon, effortlessly, just destroying the three thousand enemies.
Moreover, all of them were willing to be enthralled.
All that happened in the past four years ago seemed to be still quite vivid in her mind, all the things that she did after becoming his fan… thinking of this, Mo Lan"s tone could not helped but brought a hint of nostalgia, her singing became even softer.
Melancholy, but not sorrowful, her grasp of emotions was just right.
“He gave up the years, turning and using the past to scatter
He abandoned the way of the immortal,
plundering left right and centre
I don"t know how old we used to be,
but we"re looking forward to it
I"ll give up the world and wait for him to join me
I"ll neglect my next life, to guard his lonely self with no regrets
Life was just an illusion*, but it"s just a couple of times
Difficult to distinguish right from wrong
Life was just an illusion, but feeling happy and sad
To return to one"s own
The t.i.tle of the song
The song was over.
Mo Lan remained silent until the end of the accompaniment.
Suddenly–
“Suyu, look at the sea of misty floss clouds, there"s really nothing more beautiful, but without you in this world, even if there were a thousand beautiful sceneries, it would also be very dreary.”
In the silence, a serene voice faintly echoed.
This sentence was a cla.s.sic line from Yun Tianqing in Legend 4.
Secretly Captivated"s voice was very serene, but inexplicably made people felt deeply grieved. It was… painful down to the bones kind of despair. It was like the busy and dusty road of Jincheng Road, without him, you would really lose all interest in life.
It truly was… a second of becoming the character, absolute one second kill.
Biting her lower lip, Mo Lan struggled to come out from the dense gloomy atmosphere she created. After she thought about it, she still spoke honestly: “Actually, the first time I heard your voice was from Legend 4"s internet dubbing video. I… really liked the character you dubbed.”
He dubbed a villain in Legend 4, not Yun Tianqing.
However, after she listened to his dubbing, Mo Lan suddenly felt that the villain was very pitiful, very helpless, very forlorn, and also… really made one felt distressed. En, that"s why, this was the charm of a voice, so much so that, even her likes and dislikes of a person changed.
“I"m honoured you liked it.”
Secretly Captivated spoke in a low voice, his tone flowing like jade, light as water, but indescribably making one feel the joy and tenderness.
Me: I really hope there are no more songs translations!! Those are my bane – especially the ancient kind!
I"m excited for them to meet face to face though!!
