Chapter 54: The Same Person?

Although the meeting content was extensive, it was well-organized, making the compilation relatively quick. However, it still took quite some time, and it was already late when the document was saved.

The next day, Yu Zhanrong sent the meeting minutes to Song Baiyan after waking up.

[Song: Thanks for your hard work.]

[Yu.: [Smile]]

Song Baiyan was startled by the emoji. It wasn’t a smile at all; it felt like a knife.

His finger hovered over the input box, but before he could type anything, the emoji disappeared with a “whoosh.”

[“Yu.” retracted a message.]

[Yu.: [Cute]]

Looking at the two messages displayed in the chatbox, Song Baiyan’s eyebrows relaxed, and he couldn’t help but chuckle.

“What are you laughing at?” Fang Jingtong asked, crossing his legs and giving him a strange look. “Are you watching that live stream again?”

Recently, Song Baiyan had often been seen wearing headphones, listening to the voice of some streamer. He initially thought it was just a fleeting interest, but he didn’t expect him to be following it for so long.

“This streamer is pretty amazing, huh? Captivating you like this without even showing their face? You listen to them non-stop, day and night. Do you like them that much?”

“I like them.”

“Let me tell you, these streamers…” Fang Jingtong suddenly turned his head, his pupils dilating. “What did you say…”

Rising too abruptly, his head smacked against the bedside railing. Fang Jingtong clutched his head, hopping around and hissing in pain, but his gaze remained fixed on Song Baiyan.

Compared to Song Baiyan’s words, this minor bump was nothing.

“Damn it, you actually said you like them??”

This was a major earthquake. Song Baiyan had actually admitted to liking someone?

They had grown up together, and he had never seen Song Baiyan say he liked anyone before. This was a first.

Song Baiyan said helplessly, “I like their voice. This streamer is also quite interesting to talk to. Don’t let your thoughts wander too far.”

Fang Jingtong was stunned.

Bro, don’t take such a big breath before speaking, it’s scary. Fang Jingtong sat back down, relieved.

That’s right, there’s no way you can like someone so quickly, especially someone you’ve never even met.

“Can you not take such big breaths when you talk? I thought you were really going to have an online romance.”

“It’s not that extreme,” Song Baiyan took off his headphones, a rare look of perplexity on his face. “I don’t know why, but ever since I started listening to their voice, I haven’t had much trouble sleeping.”

“???”

Fang Jingtong was genuinely shocked this time. He knew Song Baiyan had insomnia and usually put sleep-aid patches on his bedside or even had to take melatonin to fall asleep when he was stressed.

“It has that effect? That’s amazing?”

“Where did you find this streamer?”

“I saw them online,” Song Baiyan smiled. When the kid told him to try it, he didn’t have much hope, but he didn’t expect it to actually have some effect.

“Did that little streamer sing you a lullaby?” Fang Jingtong asked suspiciously, but he knew Song Baiyan wasn’t the type to joke about such things.

“Could it be a psychological effect? Maybe you just like the streamer’s voice, so…”

Song Baiyan didn’t say anything.

He didn’t know either.

The best way to verify was to do a live experiment. Searching for the streamer’s homepage, Fang Jingtong randomly clicked on a live stream replay.

[Hello, hello everyone, welcome to Salty Fish Don’t Turn Over’s live stream room. I’m Xiaoyu.]

[A quick ad break: Xiaoyu recently dubbed a broadcast drama that’s been released. I hope everyone will support it~]

Fang Jingtong met Song Baiyan’s questioning gaze and shook his phone. “How is it? Do you want to sleep now?”

“?”

Song Baiyan was speechless for a long time, looking at Fang Jingtong as if he were an idiot. “Do you think it’s hypnosis? That you can fall asleep just by listening? Besides, I usually listen to late-night sleep-aid radio programs when I sleep.”

Fang Jingtong shrugged and turned off the live stream replay, muttering softly, “This voice sounds a bit familiar.”

“What?” Fang Jingtong’s muttering was too soft, and Song Baiyan didn’t hear it clearly.

“I feel like I’ve heard this streamer’s voice somewhere before. Salty Fish Don’t Turn Over?” Fang Jingtong repeated. “Ugh, what a terrible name?”

His phone chimed twice. Song Baiyan swiped open his phone.

[Yu.: [Meeting Minutes]]

[Yu.: Senior, I’m sorry. There was a problem with the format of the document just now. I’ve resent it.]

“What’s wrong? Why are you spacing out?”

Song Baiyan stared at the name on the chat interface for too long, and was silent for a while. Fang Jingtong saw his dazed expression and asked.

Song Baiyan snapped back to reality and turned off his phone.

“It’s nothing.”

Fang Jingtong still felt that the streamer’s voice was a bit familiar, and went through the list of possible people in his head. He suddenly stared at Song Baiyan’s face and asked him,

“Do you remember what that beauty was called? Yu something?”

“The one who found Ah Li before.”

He sat up straight, his eyes flashing with the excitement of discovering some kind of secret.

Song Baiyan’s eyes flickered slightly, and he said softly, “Yu Zhanrong.”

“Yes, yes, that’s him. Don’t you think his voice sounds a lot like this streamer’s?”

Fang Jingtong had been playing games with the people in Dorm 311 recently, and often heard Yu Zhanrong’s voice during game voice chat.

“Damn, could it really be him? Does his voice make you sleepy?”

“But why doesn’t he show his face on stream when he’s so good-looking?”

The little junior’s voice was nice to listen to, but he hadn’t heard it while sleeping, so how would he know if it had the same effect.

“Now that you mention it, it does sound a bit similar, but it probably isn’t him.”

It isn’t?

Fang Jingtong thought he shouldn’t have misheard. It sounded quite similar to what he heard in the game voice chat and the live stream replay just now.

Song Baiyan inexplicably asked: “You think they’re the same person? Why don’t you listen a little more?”

Could it not be?

Did he guess wrong?

Fang Jingtong glanced at Song Baiyan and reopened the live stream, pulling the replay progress bar back a little.

“Hahahahahaha, that’s hilarious! Sorry, I didn’t mean to laugh, but I really can’t help but laugh, hahahahaha…”

“You’re sick, I can’t stand it. Don’t mention that, don’t force me to turn my back on you!”

Fang Jingtong: “…”

Song Baiyan: “…”

Song Baiyan: “How about now? Do you still think they’re similar?”

Fang Jingtong didn’t answer, and continued to pull the progress bar back, not believing it. This unrestrained laughter made him doubt his life a little.

But…

He glanced at Song Baiyan.

Can you really fall asleep listening to this?

Are you sure you won’t be scared awake?!

“Tsk tsk tsk, my friend, I advise you to think twice. And is Little Yu someone you can covet? Ah!! Take them to the small black room, where did this hooligan come from, lock—them—in!!! Don’t let them out until tomorrow…”

Fang Jingtong: “…”

Turning off the live stream replay, he smiled awkwardly and said definitely, “I’m sure, it’s not the same person. The voices sound similar, it should just be a coincidence.”

Yu Zhanrong was quiet and gentle, how could he be so irritable? Other than the timbre being a bit similar, everything else was too different.

There are many voices in this world that sound similar, he was just ignorant.

Song Baiyan: “…”

“But, I think your taste… um, is quite heavy?” Fang Jingtong recalled the unrestrained laughter and looked at Song Baiyan with a strange expression. “Can you really fall asleep to this?”

Song Baiyan’s expression was calm. Fang Jingtong assumed he was acknowledging it and gave him a thumbs up.

“Amazing, amazing, as expected of you.”

“The live stream is interesting, I just started listening to it.” Song Baiyan was helpless towards Fang Jingtong’s lack of intelligence. “He has a late-night sleep-aid radio program, which is a bit effective.”

“That’s a bit more normal.”

Fang Jingtong suddenly had a flash of inspiration and realized, “Isn’t this Salty Fish the one that Lao Xu mentioned was dubbing with you? That’s why the voice sounded so familiar.”

Song Baiyan hadn’t thought of this, but the dubbing did feel more like the kid, the live stream…
