Chapter 1: Bullying
The atmosphere was stagnant in a way that it made it extremely difficult to breathe. It was like someone cut off the air supply. In this extremely difficult situation, Yan Mu Lin suddenly opened his eyes and was met with several unfamiliar young faces. Their reaction to him was supposed to be charmed or envious, but seeing their faces filled with ridicule dispelled this idea. It also made Yan Mu Lin sober up.
He should have died in that accident, but he’s awake now. This was not a hospital and these people aren’t his colleagues that he knew. They were too young.
With him thinking fast, Yan Mu Lin did not forget the words he wanted to say the most right now. He tried to cry out: “Let go, I can’t breathe!”
After hearing the voice, the people around him moved back two steps. Yan Mu Lin gasped and panted heavily, the air rushing to his chest again. He would probably never forget the feeling of rebirth in this lifetime.
At this moment, he did not have any time to reflect on this abrupt resurrection.
A boy in a dark blue Western school uniform crouched down and patted Yan Mu Lin’s face and sneered at him, “Yan Mu Lin, you just got inside a recording studio then you fainted? Why do you keep on following and antagonizing me with your voice? Stop dreaming! You think that if you enter Huaxia’s Imperial Media College then you can be in Sheng family, or even be their heir? Stop chasing a pipe dream, you moron. You’re just a disgusting bastard who is just as embarrassing as your actress mom.” This kind of verbal abuse, If Yan Mu Lin was able to endure it then he would not have received the Best Male CV award. He also would not have become a male CV of a national TV station, or receive various kinds of awards.
Yan Mu Lin used all his strength to push away the other person’s hand.
“Bang!” The sound of two palms making contact with each other was especially distinct, while the expressions of the people around him were slowly changing.
The boy who previously taunted him was stunned, then glared at him furiously. His looked at Yan Mu Lin, “You dare, you dare resist, to do this to me!”
Yan Mu Lin, who was not interested in the reaction of this amusing monkey, supported himself up with his palms. He did not want to rely on those pigs and look at their dull faces. He had his pride and self-respect.
He wiped his hands on the boy’s school uniform, and looked at him in a condescending manner. “Why wouldn’t I dare?” The fool wanted to point at his nose and scold him.
Sheng Xia Xiao, who was unwilling to be looked down on by Yan Mu Lin, the person he always bullied, stood up. He could still feel the burning hot sensation on his hand, that was as hot as his face.
For the first time, Yan Mu Lin challenged his authority! Yan Mu Lin, he actually dared to resist!
Sheng Xia Xiao’s response was to immediately grab Yan Mu Lin’s collar and shouted angrily, “Yan Mu Lin, you really dare. Be careful, or you won’t be able to study here anymore!”
Yan Mu Lin, who was carried by the collar, gave a sarcastic smile and calmly stated, “Can you really? Let go.”
The two were facing each other, their eyes meeting. Sheng Xia Xiao froze when he saw Yan Mu Lin’s cold and indifferent eyes, instinctively wanting to release his hand. It was inconceivable, but for the sake of his face, he did not let go and instead raised another hand to hit Yan Mu Lin’s chin.
Yan Mu Lin was not stupid, he naturally made preparations. When Sheng Xia Xiao swung his hand, his left hand was already ready to defend while his right hand held onto Sheng Xia Xiao’s wrist, holding it tight enough for it to hurt. Because of this, his hand was loosened. Yan Mu Lin’s move made Sheng Xia Xiao angrier, but facing this unthinkable situation, he was at a loss. For the sake of his face, he took a step back and commanded the people with him to grab Yan Mu Lin.
Preparing for a hard battle, Yan Mu Lin got into a defensive pose without thinking. Then, someone he did not know yelled, “The teacher is coming!”
Because of this voice, the recording studio immediately turned silent. Yan Mu Lin’s eyes were narrowed, he did not relax and was still ready to fight at any time.
The teacher came, it was really true. The only door in the room was opened, a young man wearing black spectacles came in. With a meticulous look, he glanced around and understood what was going on.
The young teacher didn’t asked them about what happened, they were all adults. It is unlikely that he would take care of them this much. The competition in the voice acting industry was very fierce. In the school, it was not that noticeable, but in the society, it was more intense and cruel.
He pushed his glasses up and said, “Have you recorded all the advertisement’s voiceover? I don’t care which family you belong to, but if you can’t finish the assignment I gave you, then you won’t get your diploma. At that time, don’t blame this teacher for being ruthless. Just so you know, the issued assignment is the voiceover for the Earl Watch and they need the voice now!”
Inside the recording studio, all the students who heard the words “Earl Watch” were eager and surprised. Even Sheng Xia Xiao, who had been angered by Yan Mu Lin, lost his arrogant disposition.
As the teacher calmed the atmosphere down, Yan Mu Lin used this as an opportunity to size up the place. It was familiar yet strange. Familiar because it was a recording studio, and strange since it was a studio he did not recognize. All the recording studios he have entered were all relatively small, and had no air-conditioning. It was extremely cold in the winter, and hot in the summer. A 9 AM to 5 PM working hours was a luxury. In order to avoid morning and evening traffic, he usually started from 12 PM to 12 AM, which was arduous.
Yan Mu Lin worked in that narrow and stuffy space for almost 15 years before he achieved anything.
Who knew that he had to experience so much setbacks just to succeed? It was truly a pity that he could not even enjoy his success. He suddenly appeared here because of an accident. Are the Heavens playing with him?
In here, there are a lot of advanced equipment he could not name, but when compared to the professional high-end recording studios he’d been to, they are pretty similar. Looking once again, the layout here is more professional. The air conditioner has no sound, and the room temperature adjusts automatically.
A school with this kind of equipment, with this kind of capability, Yan Mu Lin did not dare imagine what kind of school he was in. In any case, he would not let that boy drive him away from this school. Only, that classmate’s bearing was too unbridled and his conduct, excessive. He can’t even hide his emotions, a spoiled child. He was too impulsive and can’t think of complex matters. For the time being, he should continue observing. Of course, if that person does something that crosses the line, then he wouldn’t be lenient.
It is important to know that the situation in the dubbing industry is really complicated, and they refuse to acknowledge newcomers. Yan Mu Lin who has experienced all this, already have a great mental capability. Whatever is thrown at him, he could surely take on, one by one.
When the teacher mentioned the Earl Watch advertisement, he was also interested. However, just a moment ago, he received the current body’s memories so he was a little shocked. His current status, he couldn’t say that it was miserable, but it also could not be called fortunate.
As Sheng Xia Xiao said, his mother really was an actress, but she wasn’t Father Sheng’s lover. Even if they did have a relationship, it was before Yan Mu Lin was born, and even that was something unexpected. As for what happened, Yan Mu Lin did not know. There wasn’t a lot mentioned in his memories, and it seems that his relationship with his mother wasn’t very good.
His current school was exactly like Huaxia’s Imperial Media College. It would actually be better to talk about his current world.
Just like Yan Mu Lin’s original world, the World War I and World War II happened, but there were problems in the history. The weak Qing government did not have problems with its royal court. Huaxia was only involved in World War II. During World War I, Huaxia improved its science and technology, pushing it to the forefront of the world. The anti-fascist war still occurred, with Huaxia as one of the victors. Right now, only The States could rival Huaxia.
History did not follow its original course. Yan Mu Lin was both happy and worried. He had to re-adapt to a new environment, both man-made and natural.
When the teacher came in, he saw Yan Mu Lin being bullied by Sheng Xia Xiao. To avoid this kind of situation happening again in his class, the teacher decided to keep his students’ focus on the recording of the advertisement’s voiceover. He also wanted to test the levels of these children after a year of studying.
That’s right, the current Yan Mu Lin was a second-year college student whose major was broadcasting. He wasn’t a freshman who just started college, nor was he a graduate that would soon take on the world.
There were 30 people in his class. This time, they were divided into two recording studios. Yan Mu Lin was divided into the “ Yun Shui Yao Recording Studio”.
The reason for his conflict with Sheng Xia Xiao was merely because of Yan Mu Lin’s physique. He was admitted to Huaxia’s Imperial Media College with excellent results and he has even became a news anchor, but he has never celebrated his achievements because Sheng Xia Xiao always suppresses him, making him feel more and more inferior.
Today’s problem was that Yan Mu Lin was arranged to sit in front of Sheng Xia Xiao. Sheng Xia Xiao felt uncomfortable as the lighting in the recording studio wasn’t very bright. He pushed Yan Mu Lin to the ground, and Yan Mu Lin, who fell, got covered by the shadows, which made him very scared.
To be so frightened that he ran out of breath, which led to the original owner’s sudden death, gave the current Yan Mu Lin a chance to transmigrate to this body.
According to the memory of the original owner, Yan Mu Lin was locked in the cupboard by a nanny who had sexual intercourse with her lover in her employer’s home. This was the reason for his mental state in the recording studio. Every time he showed this “could-faint-anytime” expression, Sheng Xia Xiao would feel the desire to bully him. Seeing him frightened so bad, he thought it was really fun, and started to bully him every day.
Yan Mu Lin looked up and watched Sheng Xia Xiao who was surrounded by everyone. This little devil needs to be taught a lesson. If you want to give the other person a heavy blow, then beat him in the aspect he’s best at.
Now, there was an opportunity. The Earl Watch advertisement dubbing was it? He was looking forward to it.
