Really, Really Miss You Specials

One of the fun things about following these c-novel authors on Weibo is that many of them sometimes post little random scenes of characters from their novels, just for fun. (I’ve seen it from Mo Bao Fei Bao and Ding Mo. Unfortunately, nothing from Gu Man that I know of.) These scenes usually won’t make it into published novels, and often don’t even make it into the online copies that you read. I’ve gathered the little random Weibo scenes for Really, Really Miss You that I have found. (Toupai is naughty!)

Also, a storyline song has been made for Really, Really Miss You. I’ve translated the lyrics for it. Have a listen. 🙂

And this is it for now! That’s all I have on Toupai and Sheng Sheng until the book comes out or MBFB writes more Weibo tidbits. Once again, thanks for everyone’s support.  Hope to see you over in Beautiful Bones, which will be up for my next posting slot!  🙂

Weibo Random Scenes

So, these are just little scenes of Toupai, Sheng Sheng, and sometimes other characters that popped into Mo Bao Fei Bao’s mind at one point in time. If it’s not specified, you are not supposed to really try to figure where they fit in chronologically, whether Toupai and Sheng Sheng are married yet at that point, etc.  The actual novel may not even honour these random scenes later, so don’t think too much about them and just enjoy them.

If I know, I have written down the date of the Weibo post. Some of them, I haven’t been able to find the original. Not sure if they were posted and then deleted later by Mo Bao Fei Bao, or I just was blind and missed them.  I did not translate one because it was about a game in Weibo that I have absolutely no idea about. If I ever figure it out, I’ll update this post with that one, too.

Scene 1
(August 19, 2013) The honeymoon. Toupai discovered that the local currency in his wallet was all used up. Sheng Sheng saw a sign saying “currency exchange”, so she pulled out 400 RMB and walked over towards it. Standing in front of the shop were five or six women, but none of them paid any attention to her, even to the point that, when she asked them a question, they would take a step away. Toupai wrapped an arm around her and pulled her back. In a seductively low and tender voice, he told her, “In this country, people who stand in line underneath this type of sign will only provide services to male tourists…”

Scene 2
(August 19, 2013) The honeymoon. Sheng Sheng was sweating incessantly. “Why doesn’t the hotel have any air conditioning?” Toupai was lying on his side beside her, one hand propping up his head. “This place is different from the one we were at a few days ago. They get little sun throughout the year and their summer is short, so the locals don’t like to install air conditioning. They like to savour the summer heat.” Sheng Sheng quietly marked an “X” on the map. She definitely needed to tell Geng Xiaoxing, if Jue Mei was like Toupai and was very “physically fit”… this place was not suitable for a honeymoon…

Scene 3
(August 19, 2013) The vacation where Toupai “settled” Sheng Sheng, on an island somewhere. Geng Xiaoxing was at a supermarket, and the cashier pointed to a poster behind her. She did not understand, so the person explained to her. She still did not understand. Jue Mei: “She’s telling you to buy a frequent shopper’s card. You get a discount all-year round.” Geng Xiaoxing complained, “I’m just here on vacation……” She suddenly let out a squeal and exclaimed, “Have I gotten so tanned that I’m as dark as the locals here?!” Jue Mei cleared his throat. “It’s okay. If any violent incident happens, you’re safer than any of us.”

Scene 4
(August 19, 2013) The vacation where Toupai “settled” Sheng Sheng, on an island somewhere. Mu Mu had just finished a shower and stepped out in only his underwear. The sliding door to the balcony was suddenly pulled open by Dou Dou Dou Bing. “…… AH!!!!” Mu Mu frowned. Dou Dou Dou Bing eyed him up and down several times. “I feel like I need to take responsibility for seeing you like this…” Mu Mu continued to frown and then yanked Mo Bai, who was still toweling himself dry and had not put on any clothing yet, from the washroom. “You’ve seen both of us now, so you don’t have to take any responsibility…” Dou Dou Dou Bing shrieked and fled from there…

Scene 5
(August 21, 2013) There was a period when Gu Sheng had poor appetite. No matter what Qiang Qing Ci SAMA cooked, she would always have food left over. At last, SAMA finally gave a sigh and leaned over, his hands propping him up on the table, to tell her, “Most people who like to leave leftover food will go to hell after they die, and on top of that, they are forced to eat the food they had left over while they were alive.” Gu Sheng said in distress, “So that means I’ll have to eat decades of leftover food?” She took her food and held it up to his lips. “My Toupai loves his wife dearly…”

Scene 6
Gu Sheng continued to have poor appetite. One night, halfway into the night, she suddenly panicked. While Toupai was in the washroom, she sprang up, pulled out a box from the bedside table, emptied out its entire contents of several hundred little packages, and started carefully feeling each one. Toupai walked up behind her and watched her amusedly. “Are you trying to count to see if there is less? Whether I’ve secretly used some?” Gu Sheng nervously answered him, “No… I just wanted to feel to see if… you’ve ever pricked them with a needle…”

Scene 7
Regarding those several hundred “little packages.” They were having a group dinner. Mu Mu arrived late and then pulled out a large box from his backpack. “My friend does product quality testing. This week, he is sample testing this.” He opened the box. Everyone was speechless. Mu Mu: “After the random sampling is done, the ones left over have no use.” He casually pushed the box over to Qiang Qing Ci. “You need this more than the rest of us.”…… Mu Mu never understood that, this casual sentence of his bolstered one SAMA but shot down an entire table of SAMAs.

Scene 8
(March 6, 2014) One day, Mu Mu wanted to make it clear that he was indeed a straight male, so he posted in Weibo: I prefer the pure, innocent type. The type that is cute and makes you want to love them dearly. The most important part though is, I like someone who likes to wear red skirts. Five seconds later, fans who shipped Mo Bai and Mu Mu very excitedly posted a picture of Mo Bai crossplaying Xiu Xiu from Sword 3 and also took a screenshot of Mu Mu’s Weibo post as evidence. While the fans’ blood were boiling in excitement, Mo Bai also enthusiastically re-tweeted their post with an @ Mu Mu: Oh, so you like that style. That’s easy.

[Crossplaying is a male cosplaying a female or vice versa.]

Qi Xiu (aka Xiu Xiu) from Sword 3 Crossplayer of Qi Xiu

Scene 9
(March 6, 2014) Every time Sheng Sheng Man was on singing duty, the YY room would be bursting with the number of people in it, all of them hardcore fans of Qiang Qing Ci who wanted to hear his voice. Sheng Sheng felt sorry for his fans, so one day, she secretly turned on her mike and deliberately lead Qiang Qing Ci, who was behind her, along so that he would say something for everyone to hear. “You were recording yesterday. Were there any good lines that you spoke?” “Can’t really remember.” He walked up beside the computer and suddenly, in a low voice, coaxingly invited, “Done singing? Want to go sleep for a little while? …” And so, everyone got their wish and heard everything…

Scene 10
(March 18, 2014) Ever since Qiang Qing Ci had his golden master, there were always fans who especially did not support him on this and would leave badmouthing comments…… Sheng Sheng felt very distressed over this. One day, Qiang Qing Ci posted a PaPa recording [see , footnote 1]. His voice was low and cold. “Walking alone at night. Not really used to it.” Instantly, all his fans were heartbroken for him and flooded the comments with the same message: Golden Pig, hurry home… Don’t let our DaRen walk alone at night T.T… From then on, no one came to leave any badmouthing messages… #DiscussQiangQingCisPerfectActingSkills#

Scene 11
(Nov 13, 2014) The big doctor went out of country for half a year to further his studies. Gu Sheng developed a habit where she would save every WeChat message he sent her and only listen to them one at a time, spaced over a period of time. Even the ones she had listened to before, when she was bored and had nothing to do, she would re-listen to, justifying her actions with, “Once your biggest idol, forever your biggest idol.” When Geng Xiaoxing found out about this, she secretly told Jue Mei, and then Jue Mei secretly told Toupai. The result was, the next day, Gu Sheng discovered her WeChat had more than 1000 new voice messages and they all came from Qiang Qing Ci…

Scene 12
(February 1, 2015) Sheng Sheng’s first time meeting her future mother-in-law. Mother-in-law held onto her hand and revealed that she had already been her fan on Weibo for a long time. More than 10,000 fans. So amazing! Her heart silently dripping blood, Sheng Sheng glanced over at Toupai, who was sitting in the living room flipping through a magazine and acting like nothing had happened… If her lips had not been sealed ahead of time, she would definitely have pointed out the true god there: “Your son is the one who’s dressed in all sorts of gold and silver with several hundreds of thousand fans. I’m just made out of clay in comparison and not worth any money…”

Hoju: How do you think Toupai “sealed” Sheng Sheng’s lips? 😉 And if she’s a fan, shouldn’t Mama Mo know that Sheng Sheng Man is dating the famous Qiang Qing Ci?  

Scene 13
(February 1, 2015) Qiang Qing Ci: “Sheng Sheng?” She was sick with a sore throat but did not want to take medication, so she could only nod in answer. Him: “Do you want to sing another duet with me?” She nodded. “Do you want it so that, even if I am not home at night, you can still lie on this bed and talk to me on the phone?” Blushing, she nodded her head. “Come here. Take your medicine.” He bit a pill between his teeth and successfully fed it into her mouth… “Do you need me to feed you your water, too?” She immediately picked up her glass of water and – gulp, gulp – downed it fiercely.

Scene 14 – MBFB asked fans what they wanted for a Lunar New Year’s present. Everyone had requests for new scenes from their various favourite novel(s). In the end, she posted a giant post with a scene each for the leads from nearly every single one of her novels, in which a theoretical email was sent out to them asking them to recap the first night they did *it*. Here is the one for Really, Really Miss You.

Gu Sheng: “The author… um, she didn’t write it…”

Gu Sheng: “Not… every night, right?”

Gu Sheng: “Well, for example, when you have to work overtime… we won’t do it.”
Mo Qingcheng: “Oh? (lowers his voice and gently, dotingly blows her ear) “Are you filing a complaint? How about this? You keep note in an electronic calendar and whatever I miss, I’ll make up to you. I…… willingly and happily will make it up to you.”

Scene 15 – “Bi dong” is an Internet slang used to describe a scene where someone is pressed up against a wall and kissed. “Bi” means wall and “dong” is an onomatopoeia to describe the sound of bumping into the wall.  It is a term that has been around for a while but recently has been very popular because of the drama, My Sunshine and the now famous scene in  (gifs and all to help you visualize 😉 ).

Sheng Sheng: “……”

Sheng Sheng: “No……”

Sheng Sheng: “Mm……”

Really, Really Miss You Storyline Song

From what I understand, Really, Really Miss You really was one of the first, if not the first, novels to focus on the 2-D world of CVs. A new category of novels has sprung up in the last year or so called “wang pei” or “online voice acting”, but all the ones I’ve seen have come after RRMY. ❤ How appropriate that a storyline song be made on it that tells the story of Toupai and Sheng Sheng.

This is truly a fan made cover song with original lyrics written for the novel, then posted in . The singers are kind of like Gu Sheng, amateur singers who aren’t huge in popularity but are having fun in the online singing world. They may or may not fit your ideal voice for Toupai and Sheng Sheng, but I commend the job they did. It’s made well enough that it has become the favourite song of my children of late. I have had to listen to it every_single_day. (See me banging my head on the wall?) My kids can recite dialogue taken straight from RRMY. 😉

The song is called 闻言倾心 “Wen Yan Qing Xin” [To Hear the Voice and Fall In Love]. Lyric and dialogue translation below, blue for Toupai, red for Sheng Sheng, green for both.

文案：

作为第一部描写CV圈以及古风圈的小说，简直经典！

Background:

As the first novel out there to write about the CV and ancient-style music entertainment circles, it is simply a classic!

(dialogue)

Mo Qingcheng: Sheng Sheng Man, are you there?

Gu Sheng: Hm?

Mo Qing Cheng: I love you. Do you… love me?

Gu Sheng: I…… I love…… your voice.

Mo Qingcheng: Thank you. I’ll “hold” you off the mike now.

[00:27]那天 是你声音无意闯进我心间

[00:34]那天 是我再次遭遇你偶然出现

[00:41]是你 唤醒我心中的火焰决定让你沦陷

[00:47]喧嚣世界里的唯一

[00:54]千万人中我唤出你名 

[01:00]是我早就迫切演出的恶作剧

[01:08]而你短暂沉默的时间里

[01:14]我看见自己的心在冷眼谑笑 多可气

[01:25]听你诚然说起独爱我的声音

[01:32]窃喜的我却没说出那份愉悦

[01:38]我早已对你闻言倾心 

[01:45]原谅我只想一步步朝你靠近

[01:52]让你慢慢掉进这名爱的陷阱

[01:59]共我同吟一曲 上邪
To sing together with me a song – Shang Ye

[02:19]那天 是你问我什么时候听到你

[02:25]那天 是我低头安静站在你面前

[02:32]是你 唤醒我心中的爱恋决定自我沦陷

[02:39]喧嚣世界里的唯一

[02:46]悄悄录下你未全半曲

[02:51]在你面前小心清唱出我心意

[02:59]而那流言纷飞时间里

[03:06]我听见自己的心在卑微退怯 多可笑

[03:17]听你诚然说出独爱我的声音

[03:23]忐忑的我却说不出那份愉悦

[03:29]我早已对你闻言倾心

[03:37]只能任自己一步步朝你靠近

[03:44]怕我只是误会你无意的心情

[03:49]却吟一曲声声慢 予我
But then, you sang a song with “Sheng Sheng Man” in it to me

(dialogue)

Mo Qingcheng: I like you a lot. Will you be my girlfriend?

Gu Sheng: …… We’ve only seen each other a few times…

Mo Qingcheng: With this sort of thing, the number of times we’ve seen each other doesn’t really matter

Gu Sheng: What if…… we aren’t suitable for each other?

Mo Qingcheng: What if…… we are?

[04:24]听你诚然说出独爱我的声音

[04:31]相识在我们相知之前的情景

[04:37]却是对我闻言已倾心

[04:44]只是庆幸你一步步朝我靠近

[04:51]让你（我）慢慢掉进这名爱的陷阱

[04:57]共我（你）同吟一曲 上邪
To sing together with me (you) a song – Shang Ye

[05:14]那天 是你声音无意闯进我心间

[05:21]那天 是你问我什么时候听到你

[05:28]那天 是你让我在声的海洋中砰然动心

[05:35]成为我喜欢的 唯一
And to become the one I love – the only one.

(dialogue)

Mo Qingcheng: If we don’t even start, we won’t know the ending, right?

Gu Sheng: Mm-hmm……
