Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

"You can't even speak properly to me, so you can imagine how you would be in front of that person."

Yang Gongfeina blushed instantly, but found it difficult to refute.

She understood that Xiaolu was right.

Ever since she overheard Toru Tazaki's inner thoughts during her last date with Toru Tazaki and Koko Kobayashi, she has been unable to look at Toru Tazaki's face without restraint as she used to.

Every time she meets Toru Tazaki in the recording studio, her first thought is always whether her outfit looks strange or her hair is messy.

After she finally composed herself and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up slightly to the left, he left on his own.

Whenever this happens, she feels a sense of loss.

She seems to have developed a condition that prevents her from communicating with Toru Tazaki.

The moment she saw his eyes, her heart, hidden deep within her chest, seemed to be amplified, the violent sound drowning out her voice.

"Because I don't know what to say to him..."

The girl hesitated before saying this.

"You can say anything, like what you ate today, or what you're going to do next. Can't you just chat casually?"

It's not as simple as you make it out to be!

If it were really that easy, there would be no need for such complicated feelings.

After thinking for a long time, Yang Gongfei gently pursed her lips and said, "I'm a little scared."

"afraid of what?"

“He was afraid…he was disappointed in me.”

Hinata Himegami longed for a response and praise from Toru Tazaki.

He hoped that one day he could pat himself on the head and praise her, saying that she sang very well and was impeccable.

But the current Yang Gongfei Na is far from receiving such praise; perhaps that is a height she can never reach in her lifetime.

Whenever she had such thoughts, she felt ashamed to face Tazaki Toru.

Who told her to be surrounded by such dazzling girls, whose professional skills were all far superior to hers?

Just to keep up with them and not hold her teammates back during rehearsals, Yang Gongfei had already given it her all.

"So, what's your current progress?"

"Huh? Progress...?"

My friend nodded and started counting on his fingers: "There has to be some progression, right? Ordinary friends, more than friends, but not quite lovers."

To be honest, Yang Gongfei had never thought about this issue.

She only wanted Toru Tazaki's approval; she didn't dare to think about anything more.

"I guess we could call each other friends."

Hinata Himegami lacked confidence; she didn't know if she was qualified to call herself Toru Tazaki's friend.

Seeing Yang Gongfei lower her head, Xiao Lu seemed to have figured something out.

This is probably what is known as unrequited love.

However, Xiao Lu didn't think it was a big deal. There was no reason why a cute girl like Yang Gongfei wouldn't be liked by men.

Although she is often criticized by ignorant netizens for being a "weak man," regardless of how that term sounds, Yang Gongfei is definitely a girl that men like and that evokes a protective instinct in.

Even just this one point is already a huge advantage.

Xiao Lu thought for a long time, opened her backpack, took something out of the bag, put it on the table, and pushed it towards Yang Gongfei.

"Here, take this."

"While I can't offer you any good advice, I know that simply waiting won't get you anywhere. Why not be bolder and take the initiative to invite them on a date?"

Yang Gongfei looked at the things on the dining table and blinked her eyes in confusion.

"Uh... I'm sorry, but I actually already asked him out last time."

"What? This is the first time I've heard of this. Tell me more!"

501. Secrets and Lies.

I met up with my friends after a long time, but in the end we only talked about ourselves.

Originally, Yang Gongfei Na really enjoyed discussing these kinds of relationship-related topics.

But when this happens to you, you feel shy and embarrassed.

Only then did she realize that the plot in the comic was actually so realistic.

The world's romance comic artists are amazing.

What troubled her was that Xiao Lu kept asking her who the person she liked was.

On this point, Hina Himegami was extremely vigilant and resolutely refused to reveal Toru Tazaki's name.

Given Yang Gongfei's personality, she has almost no way to meet men except for work requirements.

Xiao Lu could only infer indirectly, and considering Yang Gongfei's social circle, she concluded that Yang Gongfei was an industry insider.

This is not uncommon in the industry.

While there are quite a few female voice actors in the industry who marry ordinary men, in recent years there have been more and more cases of them marrying male voice actors or related people.

Judging from Yang Gongfei's current state, if she continues to indulge in unrequited love, she will likely only end up with nothing to show for it.

Inside the tram car.

Hina sat alone in the corner of the carriage, taking out two tickets from her bag, wondering how to invite Toru Tazaki.

She was very grateful to Xiaolu, but her friend seemed to have overlooked something.

I simply didn't have the courage to invite Professor Tazaki to see it!

The tram swayed and rocked, and the girl's mood became uncertain as well.

She sighed softly, put the ticket away, and pondered how to bring it up with Tazaki Toru.

Based on what Hina knew about Toru Tazaki, if she invited him directly, Toru would most likely not refuse.

That's why Yang Gongfei didn't know how to start the conversation.

If Tazaki Toru asks why I went with him, how should I answer?

Back home, Yang Gongfei collapsed onto her bed, feeling somewhat exhausted. As usual, she turned on her phone and silently checked her teammates' social media accounts.

She doesn't like posting tweets on her social media accounts.

Although she has a deep desire to share her life, she is a child who is afraid of being criticized.

Whenever she sees a less-than-friendly comment in the comments section of a tweet, she feels guilty for not being able to become better.

Rather than doing that, it's better to be a quiet bystander, like an ordinary spectator, and just look at your teammates' Twitter.

They're called teammates, but really they're just Kobayashi Koko and Aoki Hina.

Although Tachibana Rin and Kohinata Mika have Twitter accounts, they almost never update them.

The more important reason is that nobody knows them.

The girl tossed her phone aside, lay back on the bed, and stared blankly at the ceiling, utterly bored.

Once a person has someone they like, it seems that the image of that person is constantly on their mind.

Whether it's scrolling through Twitter or reading comics, these things that are usually fun are now completely unengaging.

Yang Gongfeina understood where the problem lay.

While Toru Tazaki is certainly one factor, another part comes from her teammates.

Ever since realizing her own feelings, she has used this opportunity to reflect on the atmosphere within the band, and she always felt as if she had grasped something.

MyGO, a band that appears to get along well on the surface, seems to be harboring undercurrents of discord.

There was no basis for it; it was merely her intuition as a girl.

Looking back on what had happened during this time, she became increasingly concerned about how her teammates viewed Tazaki Toru.

With such worries in her heart, Yang Gongfei couldn't sleep well tonight.

……

……

The next day.

Inside the recording studio, in the MyGO lounge.

The four girls gathered together, while the drummer was still on her way.

Hina Aoki silently observed her teammates' condition, then suddenly said, "Coco-chan is so slow."

"By the way, I saw a little game online, let's play it to kill some time."

"Mini-games?"

"Mm!" Hina Aoki nodded with a smile, took out a notebook from her bag, and tore off several strips of paper.

"Each person writes two slips of paper, one with a secret and the other with a lie."

"It's just a way to pass the time, so there's no need to investigate who wrote which note," Aoki Hina said casually.

Rin Tachibana glanced at Hina Aoki but didn't say anything.

She was certain that Sister Yang was up to no good again.

That being said, Tachibana Rin and Aoki Hina are partners on the same side, so there's no reason for her to refuse.

Mika Kohinata hesitated for a moment, then nodded gently, while Hina Himegami was even more excited.

So the girls each started writing on a piece of paper.

For a moment, the lounge fell silent, with only the sound of pens scratching paper.

After a long while, Hina Aoki was the first to raise her head.
