Rebirth on the Doors to the Civil Affairs Bureau

Chapter 34 You are My Sun, I am Your Home

***

It was sunny today. The small park downstairs was full of children playing.

The weather in Shanghai was usually like this. As long as the sun was out, even if it was winter people would feel like it was spring. Perhaps spring had crept in early.

When Yu Dong was about to leave, she looked back towards Xia Feng’s room, her expression warm.

Sometimes when it comes to two people trying to get along, one has to give, and one has to receive. It seems that Yu Dong preferred being the former.

Does everyone meet such a person? Where your happiness is based on their happiness?

Like a sunflower chasing the sun.

Yu Dong looked through a window to the sun outside and wondered: If I could emit such warmth,?can I become your sun?

…..

Yu Dong went to the studio to help Ren Xinxin review the final cuts of dubbing. Then she had lunch and drove to the radio station.

“Director Ma!” Yesterday, Yu Dong had been informed that Director Ma wanted to speak with her, so she came in this afternoon.

“Come in Yu Dong, have you had lunch?” Director Ma put down the papers he had been reading and asked kindly.

“Thank you for your concern, I’ve already eaten!” Yu Dong replied with a smile.

“That’s good. You have to pay attention to your health. Although you’re still young and healthy, you still have to be extra careful since you host the midnight program and therefore sleep so late.” Director Ma advised.

“Sit down and let’s talk!” Director Ma stepped out from behind his desk and sat down on the sofa with Yu Dong. “I listened to your program last night.”

“Ah?” Yu Dong was somewhat surprised.

“I have to say, it was very energetic and lively!” Director Ma praised. “Especially the love poem you read out loud by Pushkin, it was as if I had returned to my 20s, I was still pursuing my wife then.”

“Yes, that’s good!” Yu Dong smiled.

“Right, my wife listened with me last night, and she wants me to ask about what happened between the handsome prince and the beauty.” Director Ma said, waiting for Yu Dong to give him the details.

“This…I don’t know either.” Yu Dong was embarrassed. “If I find out anything new, I’ll definitely tell you!”

“Oh…” Director Ma was somewhat disappointed. “Anonymous callers can be really hard to track down.”

“I’m planning on singing as my act.” Yu Dong thought about it and ended up deciding that she would just casually go up the stage and sing some song.

“Then you must sing well, make sure you sing with the spirit and might of our radio station!”

What does the spirit and might of a radio station even look like? Yu Dong thought in her heart as she nodded.

“By the way, to show our support, the station specifically made a special styling budget.” Director Ma pulled out a business card and handed it to Yu Dong and said, “Go to this salon and get some help with your clothes and make-up for the day, don’t try to save money.”

“Blossom Sparrow?” Yu Dong saw the business card and was stunned. What the hell is going to happen at the event? This Blossom Sparrow was the best styling studio in China. How many big-name stars came to this studio before walking the red carpet. The point is, this studio is known for its gorgeous and high-end styles.

“I heard many stars go to that studio for styling tips.” Director Ma said proudly.

“Director, you see, ah, isn’t the hosting style of our station mostly easy humor, relaxed entertainment? If I go with such a grand look, isn’t that the opposite of our station’s might and spirit?” Yu Dong continued, “As a guest in this cross-platform event if I dress like this, won’t I just be telling people that I came to attract attention?”

Even the actual singers who were invited wouldn’t be dressing so grandly, this event isn’t the red carpet, this will inevitably be embarrassing, ah.

“That’s just going to show that our radio station isn’t just relaxed and humorous, but also dignified, elegant and noble.” Director Ma said.

Yu Dong thought for a moment, then continued to persuade him: “Look, Director, I’m going to be a guest in this event. If I wear something that overpowers the host, won’t I just be a nuisance? After all, we’re attending this event to show solidarity.”

“Don’t worry about that!” Director Ma sneered. “The host had dinner with me two days ago and said that there weren’t any beautiful women in radio stations. This time let him see, he thinks that only TV stations have beautiful female hosts? Remove their makeup, remove the good lighting, and the girl selling fruit across the street from my neighborhood can compete with them.”

Also, why are you paying so much attention to the girl who sells fruit from across your house?

Leaving the radio station, Yu Dong went straight to Blossom Sparrow Studio.

Yu Dong had never thought she would come here one day as a customer.

“Hello!” The receptionist was a sweet looking girl. When she saw Yu Dong enter, she politely inquired: “Do you have an appointment?”

“Hello, I’m Yu Dong, my radio station should have made an appointment in advance.” Yu Dong said.

The front desk sister confirmed her appointment and then bought Yu Dong to the VIP area. She then turned and said, “Please wait here while I call the stylist over.”

“OK!” Yu Dong nodded as she sat down.

“Yu Dong?” Suddenly there was an uncertain voice calling out to her.

Yu Dong turned and saw a black-haired beauty on the other end of the sofa. The beauty was smiling at her, and Yu Dong finally recognized her, exclaiming: “Tao Tao?”

“Un!” Tao Tao excitedly ran over to sit next to Yu Dong.

“What a coincidence!” Yu Dong laughed.

“My agent brought me here to get styled for an awards ceremony I’m attending.” Tao Tao said.

“It seems that you’re popular!” Although Yu Dong stopped watching idol dramas, in her previous life, she used to watch the many shows of this future idol drama queen.

“What popular ah, I just finished filming this TV series, and it had a cold reception. A lot of TV stations are broadcasting it during the day, or at midnight, the rating’s aren’t very high.” Tao Tao sighed, “Recently my agent introduced me to another series, but the director said my baby face isn’t suitable for the heroine. My agent is telling me to get a facelift.”

Yu Dong blinked. So the original reason for Tao Tao’s plastic surgery in her previous life was this.

“Have you agreed?” Yu Dong asked.

Tao Tao shook her head and said, “I didn’t want to, but my agent has been telling me that the series was going to be a hit, and everyone in the industry does cosmetic surgery anyway. But I was still hesitant, and I later remembered that you told me never to do cosmetic surgery so finally decided not to do it. Anyway, I think I’m not bad at acting, and I’m still growing, so it’s no big deal. I’m sure that in the future I’ll be popular.”

Yu Dong couldn’t help but smile, I just prevented a vampire face.

(T/N Chinese vampires are a little different from western vampires.)

“Believe me, you’ll be popular soon.” Yu Dong remembered that Tao Tao’s first TV series wasn’t popular in China but later exploded in Korea and Japan. She later became a hot topic.

“Excuse me!” A pleasant male voice interrupted their conversation. “Is Ms. Yu Dong here?”

“Yes, that’s me!” Yu Dong stood up.

“Hello, I’m your stylist, my name is Adi.” Adi was a white, somewhat feminine man.

“Hello!”

“Please follow me, we’ll pick out your dress then I’ll style you based on the dress.” Adi stood aside to let her in.

Yu Dong and Tao Tao said their goodbyes, then Yu Dong followed Adi into a room full of sparkling dresses, making her squint.

“Do you have any other clothes?” Yu Dong asked.

“The head of your radio station specifically asked that we choose something glamorous.” Adi politely refused.

“Don’t you think that they’re all a little too exaggerated though?” Yu Dong asked bitterly.

Adi smiled and said nothing.

Director Ma, is your aesthetics stuck in the 70s? Yu Dong felt her face going green. Do you think I’ll be going up the stage to croon at the audience?

(T/N The MTL said something about the era of beaches but I don’t really know what that means, so I just picked an era with a kooky sense of fashion?)

….

City Hospital.

Shao Yifan was buying a cup of coffee with Xia Feng. He then turned to his friend and said, “Today’s your birthday, let me buy you a cup!”

“Coffee for my birthday? Aren’t you a little too perfunctory?” Xia Feng took a sip of the coffee.

“Isn’t it already nice of me to remember in the first place!” Shao Yifan replied.

Xia Feng didn’t reply, he just suddenly smiled.

“What are you smiling for? ….is it your spring heart?” Shao Yifan asked.

“It’s nothing.” Xia Feng replied.

“By the way, the hospital just issued a notice to all the departments to sort out their New Year shift schedules.” Shao Yifan asked, “Are we doing the usual three days per person?”

Xia Feng froze, then muttered thoughtfully: “It’s almost New Year’s Day!”

“No kidding!” Shao Yifan said, “When did your birthday not lead to New Year’s?”

“Yifan, ” Xia Feng started to say, “Do a six-day shift this year!”

“Six days? Are you crazy? No, you’re just trying to kill me !!! ” Shao Yifan cried out.

Xia Feng just looked at him, fluttering his lashes.

“Don’t look at me like that, makes me want to vomit. Give me a reason first.” Shao Yifan couldn’t stand it anymore and told him to stop.

“I might go to Yu Dong’s family home!”

After hearing this, Shao Yifan was somewhat surprised but figured this was a long time coming.

“You… are you sure about this?” Shao Yifan still couldn’t help but ask.

“Un.” Xia Feng smiled as he nodded without hesitation.

“Oh my God, don’t smile so much OK!” Shao Yifan felt like he’d just lost 10,000 health points, God, when Xia Feng was dating An An, he never felt like this.

Xia Feng sipped his coffee, but the smile in his eyes didn’t dissipate at all.

“Can you at least tell me what happened?” Shao Yifan realized something. “Did you listen to Yu Dong’s broadcast last night?”

Xia Feng was surprised, this was the second time Shao Yifan mentioned last night’s broadcast.

They both returned to their office, and Xia Feng turned on the computer, went to Yu Dong’s radio station website, clicked Midnight Phantom, and started downloading.

Shao Yifan looked over Xia Feng’s shoulder and couldn’t help but spit: “You’re just listening?to it now? I have my phone notify me when it’s out, I download and listen to it the moment I can.”

Xia Feng ignored Shao Yifan’s complaints, put on his headphones, and listened to Yu Dong’s affectionate and gentle voice.

So it turned out that this was your birthday present to me?

Xia Feng had always considered himself a rational person. He could analyze things objectively, calmly, and from many different angles.

But when it came to Yu Dong, it seems that no matter from what angle, he sees nothing but flowers in full bloom.

Every word, every hug, every kiss gives him strength.

If home is your harbor, your charging station, your haven,

Xia Feng thinks, then Yu Dong is my home.
