Tea of Summer

by Si Zhi

Xia Liang remembered the first time they met, she nodded to him but he coldly turned his eyes away. But after she had heard his voice, she helplessly became his diehard fan. Song Qiyan remembered the first time they met, she nodded to him but he tightly held his sweaty palms and turned his eyes away. He feared that she would be burned by his gaze. He thought that it was time to act after waiting for a year. In Xia Liang’s eyes, Song Qiyan was first known as “Bei Yan Dada” (TL note: 大大, “dada,” is web slang for “the great”). After she interacted with him, she had to add additional new labels: quiet, caring, stubborn, reserved……Then after they started dating: thoughtful, loyal, occasionally naïve, childish……

This is the story of a lesser internet CV (Character Voice-over) who meets a big idol in the professional voice over circle.

This is a short, sweet story about a VA fan, voice acting, and the virtual world.

A cute and fluffy romance read certainly.

And..

Please ignore the fact that how dense the FL is. Almost to the point of annoying. GAHH *rolling my eyes*

Originally i planned on giving it 3.40 stars but deducted 0.40 points .The reason is Bei Yan dada ;she said it so many times that i was frustrated and what is it with her sticking her tong out .

Now for the story line it was cute and the voice acting profession was refreshing , i really liked that aspect .But at times the romance was very cliche . Nonetheless was a short and sweet read.

Loved it

A calm, non angst read about a guy earnestly pursuing the clueless girl he likes.

Could've ended earlier than it did. Some parts were...questionable and had to remind myself that it was published in 2015, take that as you will.

More of a 3.5? I like it and would usually give something like this a 4 but compared to some of the other stuff I think it doesn’t quite match up. This is candy sweet and cotton fluffy. It’s really pretty cute but doesn’t have a lot of depth.

My last read, A slight smile is very charming by Gu Man, is similarly cute and also about the same amount of chapters, but the characters are more well rounded. Since I’ve read these two back to back it’s hard not to compare.
