Notes: During the raffles and Q&A sections they read off names and I really don't know what they are so I just typed out what I thought it said in pinyin and let it auto-turn into Chinese, so there is a 90% probability that it's wrong… please disregard them, they’re put in brackets. Most of this broadcast doesn’t have subtitles. So, I had to translate most of it by ear… I apologize for any incorrect translations.

Gu Ziyao: Everybody, welcome to Xiaobailou’s studio. Hello everyone, we are:

Laser: Laser!!

Gu Ziyao: Hello everyone, I am Gu Ziyao.

Lin Zhi: Hello, good evening everyone, I am Lin Zhi.

Qiao Shu: Hello everyone, I am Qiao Shu.

Xia Yuyang: Good evening everybody, ah~ who am I, that’s right, I am Xia Yuyang. Welcome to our studio. Aiya, I see that there’s people spamming on the public board, hurry hurry, send messages, send messages! Let everyone see it!

***the public board is like, the display you see when watching, with all the scrolling comments

Lin Zhi: Okay okay, thank you everyone who can come tonight, thank you. So everyone should know what today’s broadcast is celebrating.

Xia Yuyang: Hurry up, you have to put it on the public board.

Qiao Shu: Put what?

Xia Yuyang: Captain~ captain, you say it, you say it. Everyone relax, today I will definitely try my hardest to redirect questions to the captain, to let him say more stuff, let me handle it~

***cue regards to redirecting questions

Gu Ziyao: We are celebrating Laser’s formation; it’s been a hundred days since our debut.

Xia Yuyang: Applause!

Qiao Shu: Applause!!

[clapping]

Lin Zhi: En, that’s right. Today’s activity is to thank everyone for continuously supporting and accompanying us. Because of job restrictions, there is no way for us to meet in person. But today is a special day, so we hope to be able to celebrate with everyone through this method.

Qiao Shu: That’s right, we are extremely grateful for everyone.

Xia Yuyang: Thank you everyone for your love and support! Thank you guys~

Gu Ziyao: Thank you everyone.

Lin Zhi: For today’s broadcast, there will be four parts. What four parts will they be? Xiao Qiao, please introduce them.

Qiao Shu: Today, there will be two game segments and one question segment. In the middle, there will be raffles, everyone, look forward to them!

Xia Yuyang: For the raffles, we will be doing it three times, so everyone has to be on guard. There will be wonderful prizes, so don’t leave.

Gu Ziyao: Right, at the end, there will be a surprise given to everyone, hope that we can all have an enjoyable hour.

Xia Yuyang: How do you feel, are you excited? But I have to properly say to everyone, the thing I’m most concerned about is the raffle. The main thing is that it’s my favorite part, I feel like I’m personally giving out Christmas gifts to everyone, even though we still have some time (before Christmas). Let me see who in our audience is still not looking at me~ let me see, send the messages, let me see! Is there anyone who says that Yangyang is cute, aiya, why are you guys all praising Lin-ge? My god, okay, in a while, okay.

Qiao Shu: Okay, stop reading, let’s talk about the question segment.

Xia Yuyang: Why don’t you say it, the one time you’re actually awake during the day is right now. I’ll let you have the stage and the spotlight- ah wait, what did I say? Captain~ captain first!

Lin Zhi: Then, Ziyao can say it, okay?

Gu Ziyao: Okay, for the broadcast’s last segment, we will do a Q&A, and we will pick some questions live. These questions all come from previous broadcasts.

Xia Yuyang: That’s right, so let’s continue and get on with the show! Oh, perfect timing, Meng-jie just came over and gave us our task cards. First, thank you Meng-jie~ then I’ll read the cards first.

Qiao Shu: Hurry up and read it.

Xia Yuyang: Don’t rush me, I was just flipping the cards. Look, there’s so many of them. Uh, let me first look at it, okay?

Lin Zhi: You guys,

Qiao Shu: Ah, let him see it, let him see it. A gaming addict might need more time than other people to mentally prepare.

Xia Yuyang: Who said I was an addict? Did you forget I beat you three last time? Some person on Weibo went crazy, did you guys forget that? Heh, I saw it.

Qiao Shu: Hurry up and say it, Xia Yuyang.

Xia Yuyang: I strongly disagree, for these rules, we should let captain explain it.

Gu Ziyao: Why?

Xia Yuyang: Go ask your fans on the broadcast, see if they want you to come out. Spam, spam! Hurry and spam for the captain, hurry up!

Lin Zhi: [laughs] Our public board cooperates very well. It looks like a lot of people sent messages.

Qiao Shu: Okay captain, let’s get to business.

07:40

Gu Ziyao: [sighs] Okay. This game is: “tacit understanding.” Who is the most [blank] in Xiaobailou? The rules are as follows: each person asks a question, counts down from three, and us four will all answer at the same time. For example, I ask, “who do you think is the worst gamer in Laser?”

Qiao Shu: Do you even have to ask? Xia Yuyang~

Lin Zhi: Uh- did the game already start? Then do I…

Xia Yuyang: Hey, I’m not! Lin-ge, don’t start stuff, Lin-ge. You have to stand on my side, Xiao Qiao stop dissing me, not while there’s so many fans here. Look at the viewer count, there’s four thousand, almost five thousand people. If you continue, then I’ll tell them to shame you on the public screen. #Qiao Shu, gamer newbie

Qiao Shu: Oh~ I’m so scared~

Lin Zhi: Okay okay, calm down, then, what’s the punishment?

Gu Ziyao: If the other three people have the same answer, then the asker gets punished. If the other three people answer differently, then the three people will be punished. The punishment is...um…

Lin Zhi: The punishment is… what?

Gu Ziyao: Meng-jie, can we change the punishment?

Xia Yuyang: [laughing]

Lin Zhi: It looks like Meng-jie…

Xia Yuyang: I just know this punishment was targeting captain, you know. Don’t change it, let me tell you guys, captain he- I’m sure the fans definitely want to see captain.

Qiao Shu: So what is it?

Lin Zhi: Uh, let me take a look at it. [laughs] The punishment is: “use the ‘kawaii’ filter to take a selfie, and upload it onto Weibo-”

*** “meng meng” = cute

*** gu ziyao, lin zhi, qiao shu,and xia yuyang’s punishment photos

Xia Yuyang: [laughing]

Lin Zhi: “and you have to post it with a kawaii caption.” [laughs] This really is…

Qiao Shu: Don’t even talk about captain, I also don’t think it’s appropriate.

Xia Yuyang: Hey, what do you mean not appropriate, fierce boys are supposed to like pink, fierce boys are supposed to act cute~ Say, Lin-ge, isn’t that right?

Lin Zhi: Ah? Uh…

Xia Yuyang: Lin-ge, you’re not thinking about copying now, right?

Lin Zhi: Uh, honestly speaking, if I lose, I actually don’t know what I’m supposed to say… I’ll just hope not to lose! Hope not to lose…

Gu Ziyao: I’m not participating.

Qiao Shu: You can just do that? Then I’m not participating either.

Lin Zhi / Xia Yuyang: Huh?

Xia Yuyang: Alright, okay, then Xiaobailou’s first broadcast is going to end here, thank you everyone for coming, thank you everyone. Come, sound tech teacher, play “Unforgettable Night,” thank you.

Lin Zhi: Okay, okay, let’s not mess around anymore. There’s still rules after the punishment. If all four of us, that means, including the asker, have the same answer, then we will officially get an additional prize. When we get to the lottery segment, we will send it out during that time~ So, how’s that? For all of our benefit, let’s work hard~

Xia Yuyang: There’s even this kind of good thing? Then it’s a must, I have to participate.

Lin Zhi: [laughs]

Qiao Shu: Okay, if captain joins I’ll join.

Xia Yuyang: Yeah! Come come, I’ll ask first, I’ve already thought about it.

Gu Ziyao: [sighs] Okay.

Qiao Shu: You guys better not play jokes on me.

Xia Yuyang: That’s not possible, you usually take such good care of me, why would I play jokes on you, huh, ge? Okay okay, are you guys ready?

Qiao Shu / Gu Ziyao: Mm.

Lin Zhi: Okay, let’s start then.

Xia Yuyang: Alright. So, who is the person that loves the internet the most? 3, 2, 1, answer! Me!

Qiao Shu: Me.

Lin Zhi: Yangyang.

Gu Ziyao: Lin Zhi.

Laser: [laughing]

Xia Yuyang: Very good, you guys failed at the first question. You guys have three people and came up with three answers, I can’t say you guys have unity… I can’t not say it, you guys really suck at this, there’s really no unity here. They’re going to be punished together, remember that, audience.

Lin Zhi: Wait a second, wait, I’m very curious as to why, Ziyao, why did you choose me?

Gu Ziyao: You buy succulents and nice looking kitchenware pretty often. You also bought a lot on 11/11.

*** 11/11 is a “holiday” in China started by the company Alibaba where a bunch of stuff goes on sale, kind of like a Chinese Black Friday. Actually, since so many people save things in their cart to buy everything on 11/11, it causes a bunch of shipping / delivery delays...

Lin Zhi: Wait, I feel like this is just a normal amount of shopping, right? The person who gets the most deliveries in Xiaobailou is Yangyang. He wants to buy whatever he sees. Last time he bought the light bulb candy, it was bigger than my head.

Qiao Shu: Oh yeah, I suddenly remembered he also bought black garlic in the past few days. I thought it wasn’t in the category of dark cuisine, but rather curiosity killing the cat.

Gu Ziyao: And us four.

Lin Zhi: [laughs] So, it’s him, right?

Qiao Shu: If you think about it that way, then it’s true he buys more. I was thinking it was me.

Gu Ziyao: Why?

Qiao Shu: Too lazy to go outside.

Lin Zhi: Then, you don’t usually go on the internet that much? I rarely see you go online.

Qiao Shu: Hm, that’s true.

Xia Yuyang: Okay, congratulations to you three, I will collect one kawaii picture from each one of you. How do we do this… send it after the broadcast ends. Everyone, remember to check their Weibo’s.

Gu Ziyao: [sighs]

Xia Yuyang: Captain, don’t sigh. This kind of acting cute thing, if you do it a lot, you’ll get used to it. Who’s asking next?

Lin Zhi: Then I’ll go. Okay, get ready. Who likes to eat sour food the most? 3, 2, 1, start!

Xia Yuyang: Captain!

Qiao Shu: Captain.

Lin Zhi: Ziyao.

Gu Ziyao: Me.

Xia Yuyang: Whoa- everyone’s correct!

Qiao Shu: This kind of question… Lin, you’re really a good person. Everyone should know that captain likes eating sour food the most.

Gu Ziyao: Mm, vinegar types and lemon types, I like them all.

Lin Zhi: [laughs] They’re all foods that are good for your skin, that’s why Ziyao is very pale, and his skin is really good.

Xia Yuyang: Right, it looks like out of the four of us, captain’s the most pale. Although, I also think Xiao Qiao-ge’s skin is also really good~

Qiao Shu: That’s enough.

Xia Yuyang: Milky white skin~

Qiao Shu: Okay okay, don’t say anymore…

Xia Yuyang: Why are you shy about this, it’s just the truth. As a facade- okay okay, I won’t say anymore. [whispers] There’s someone scared of me.

Qiao Shu: Hm.

Lin Zhi: Then, this round, we will add a gift for everyone. Thank you~

Xia Yuyang: Thank you, Mr. Investor~

Qiao Shu: Let’s continue then, I’ll ask. Um… okay I’ve thought of one.

Xia Yuyang: I have a bad hunch…

Qiao Shu: Here I go. Who is the cutest in Xiaobailou? 3, 2, 1, start!

Xia Yuyang: Me!

Qiao Shu: Da Qiao.

Gu Ziyao: Da Qiao.

Lin Zhi: Uh…

Qiao Shu: Xia Yuyang…

Xia Yuyang: Da Qiao is participating as well?! You did this on purpose, didn’t you? You’re too mean. Also, captain, why did you hesitate? You changed your mind on the spot, right?

Qiao Shu: Maybe he hesitated because Da Qiao has fur.

Lin Zhi: [laughing] I feel like that’s right.

Gu Ziyao: In reality, it is very hard to choose. Then, everyone’s cute.

Xia Yuyang: Everyone’s cute? I think you just want to see me get punished. Fine, then I’ll admit defeat. The three of us are going down together anyway, just you wait, I’ll kill you all with my cuteness. Hmph. Captain, you come up with a question. I’m working hard to redirect questions to captain.

Gu Ziyao: Okay, here I go. Who is the straightest in Xiaobailou? 3, 2, 1, answer. Xiao Qiao. How come none of you guys are saying anything?

Xia Yuyang: Everyone seems very straight...

Lin Zhi: [laughing] Wait, then why did you choose Xiao Qiao?

Gu Ziyao: Because-

Qiao Shu: Wait a second, your question is asking who is the most concise (straight to the point), right?

Gu Ziyao: What else would I be asking?

Lin Zhi: [laughs] Okay, okay. Then the three of us will receive punishment. It seems like it's not just once, either.

Qiao Shu: If it’s punishment, why don’t we just round it down to one time? If there’s too many, I won’t be able to think of the words to say.

Lin Zhi: Okay, then we can talk about it later. Then in respect to time, we’ll end our game segment here.

14:30

Lin Zhi: Next up is the exciting raffle time! Then, let’s have Ziyao announce the rules.

Xia Yuyang: Applause! [clapping]

Gu Ziyao: Okay. For the first raffle, there will be two winners. Just now, we added one spot, so there will be three winners in total. Laser will choose someone to say a sentence, then fans will type that sentence onto the public board, and a member of laser will count down. After the countdown finishes, a staff member will find the last message sent, and that person will be the winner

Xia Yuyang: Mm. The prize for the winners will be 712 Maoer FM diamonds, for each winner~ In total there will be three~ Thank you Mr. Maoer, thank you thank you~ this kind of rich prize isn’t something you definitely don’t want to skip.

Lin Zhi: That’s right. However, just a reminder, we will read out the winner’s name, so everyone should go to Maoer’s website, look for Laser’s official account, and leave us a message.

Qiao Shu: Correct, if you don’t receive your prize, please do not change your name beforehand. Otherwise, it will be very hard for the workers to find you, if you skip your chance at getting the prize, then that’s too bad. Thank you all for your cooperation.

Lin Zhi: Mm, remember to look for the “v.” It’s just like this, there’s a little “v.”

***the “v” represents official account (i think)

Qiao Shu: It has an added little “v.”

Gu Ziyao: Right.

Lin Zhi: Well, let’s go in order. Then, Ziyao can go first.

Gu Ziyao: Okay. For me… “Laser’s hundredth debut day.” (laser百道出日)

Xia Yuyang: Aiya, that’s too simple, isn’t it? Come come, start sending the messages. I want to see how many people are going to message. I want to see your guys’ speed, will you guys show me your speed? Come, send them!

Lin Zhi: Don’t forget, the sentence is “Laser’s hundredth debut day!”

Gu Ziyao: Yeah, “Laser’s hundredth debut day.” Is the staff member ready?

Lin Zhi: Holy shit, the speed (of the messages) is so fast.

Gu Ziyao: Right. Okay. 3, 2, 1, stop.

Lin Zhi: Ah, suddenly I feel very nervous.

Qiao Shu: Let captain look at it.

Xia Yuyang: Whoa- Xia Yuyang!

Qiao Shu: Captain, look at it. Oh?

Gu Ziyao: [把小杨掳走] (“Kidnap Xiao Yang”, account id)

Xia Yuyang: Like I said, Xia Yuyang. There’s a “Yang.” Right? Just directly give me the prize.

Gu Ziyao: Is that your side account?

Xia Yuyang: I’m not telling you!

Lin Zhi: No wonder you were on your phone that whole time.

Gu Ziyao: Okay, congratulations [把小杨掳走], for winning 712 diamonds. Remember to contact the official Laser account to receive your reward.

Lin Zhi: Alright! Is everyone ready? Okay, to save time, we’ll hurry up. The next sentence I will choose will be “Laser has endless possibilities.” (laser无限可能) Okay, we’ve changed the keyword now, to “Laser has endless possibilities.” Is the audience ready? Let me look at it, there was a little delay on the public board. So after we start seeing messages that say “Laser has endless possibilities,” then we will continue. Oh, people are starting to send it now.

Gu Ziyao: How come the length of the messages vary?

Lin Zhi: Maybe because…

Qiao Shu: Added exclamation points. Or spaces.

Lin Zhi: Oh, it’s also possible the font size is different.

Gu Ziyao: I see, let’s continue.

Lin Zhi: It looks like people are sending messages now, so, is everyone ready? Staff member~ It’s okay to continue? Okay, then get ready, 3, 2, 1, stop! Everyone please wait for a second, our staff member is working hard to organize everything. Okay, I’ve received it, who is it… That’s right, so who is going to continue?

Qiao Shu: Then I’ll go third. Yangyang can go next time, is that okay?

Xia Yuyang: Mm!

Lin Zhi: Alright, everyone please notice that our keyword has changed, to “712 happy debut day.” (712出道快乐)

Qiao Shu: Everyone, start sending messages. Hello, hello, can everyone hear me?

Xia Yuyang: Hello hello hello hello hello hello!

Gu Ziyao: Is it too exhausting for everyone to keep typing?

Xia Yuyang: Okay, Lin-ge, why don’t you repeat the person who just won the prize?

Lin Zhi: [laughs] Since there was an internet issue, I hope everyone can excuse it. So now, I will repeat the person who won last round’s, the round where I picked the sentence, id. Their id is [颜料不吃药] Hopefully this person won’t miss out on their prize because of the stream freezing.

Xia Yuyang: Alright, Xiao Qiao-ge!

Qiao Shu: Mm. Just now, the messages on the board were all “712 happy debut day.” I’m ready, I’m going to countdown now. Everyone, take this chance. 3, 2, 1, stop! Okay, everyone please wait for a second. We’re going to go look. This time’s lucky friend is [Araria], [Araria]. [Araria], please remember to contact the Laser official account for your prize.

Xia Yuyang: Okay, then the first raffle segment is over. For people who didn’t win, don’t feel bad, there will be better prizes next time. I’ll secretly tell you guys, we’ll be sending our signatures! Ah-

Laser: [laughs]

Xia Yuyang: I don’t care anymore, since I’ve already said it… Anyway it’s just our signatures. Okay, our next segment is also a game segment. You guys can introduce it.

19:30

Qiao Shu: This game segment is called “dare to ask, dare to answer, ‘of course’.” The rules are as follows: in order, each person asks the person after them a question. The person who is asked must answer “of course.” If they can’t say it, then they will receive punishment.

Lin Zhi: Eh? Then what is the punishment?

Xia Yuyang: It’s not something weird, right?

Qiao Shu: It says it will be revealed after the game is over. See, and on the card, they wrote for us to determine the order by ourselves. Then I don’t want to be after Xia Yuyang.

Xia Yuyang: What’s up with that? You’re done for, I’m telling you. I’m going to be in front of you on purpose.

Qiao Shu: Spare me~

Lin Zhi: Okay okay, then, how about we decide our order randomly?

Qiao Shu: Okay, let’s bet on heads or tails.

Xia Yuyang: Fine. I have a coin. Here, Lin-ge, you throw.

Lin Zhi: En… Uh… how about we just go by our normal name order?

Gu Ziyao: I don’t want to be after Xia Yuyang.

Xia Yuyang: Hey, captain!

Qiao Shu: How about we go by birth year?

Gu Ziyao: Okay.

Lin Zhi: Ah? Why do we have to do it by year…

Xia Yuyang: You guys are getting excessive. You guys made Lin-ge go first, and hurt me!

Qiao Shu: You’re overthinking. We just don’t want to be after you. Toward Lin-ge, you’ll definitely be nicer.

Lin Zhi: Oh… then I’m okay! Then I’ll just shoulder the burden that the other geges shouldn’t.

Xia Yuyang: Wait- Lin-ge you- [laughs] Fine. Let’s first agree on this: no lying, no getting angry.

Qiao Shu: Say that to yourself.

Xia Yuyang: Tch.

Lin Zhi: [laughs] Then, let’s start! Oh, am I going first?

Gu Ziyao: Mm.

Lin Zhi: Okay. Mm… okay. Excuse me, Mr. Gu Ziyao, you want to sleep with the cat Da Qiao every night, right?

Gu Ziyao: This… I really can’t do it.

Laser: [laughs]

Qiao Shu: Lin, you really know your stuff. You were able to block the captain on your first question.

Xia Yuyang: Some people are very cold and calm on the surface, but inside, they’re actually afraid of furry animals! I’m being serious here! Captain, it’s your turn.

Gu Ziyao: Okay. Qiao Shu, are you willing to run with me every morning?

Qiao Shu: I- of- you really are too ruthless of a captain. I want to say of course, but I don’t think I can do it.

Xia Yuyang: Have some more confidence in yourself. You definitely can’t do it. Unless you pull an all-nighter, and you run in that same night.

Qiao Shu: Then I might suddenly die.

Lin Zhi: [laughing] Wait a moment, is this game really that hard? Unexpectedly, two people lost in a row!

Xia Yuyang: Come come, ask me, ask me! You can say anything, I’ll definitely win.

Qiao Shu: Sure. Then, Yangyang, can you go a month without eating sweets?

Xia Yuyang: [SHARP INHALE] I- Of course I can! I’m telling you, I can go a month without eating sweets but I still have milk tea, coke, grass jelly, hotpot, barbeque, roast meat, and sushi, fried chicken, sea food (?) [more food i really can't understand what he’s saying] - mmph!

***taiwanese grass jelly is a pudding-like dish, with other toppings as well

Qiao Shu: Oh? Captain has made a move. I approve!

Gu Ziyao: It’s getting late, it’s better if you say things that [the audience] can listen to.

Xia Yuyang: Mm-mm-mm!

Lin Zhi: Okay okay, let him go, let him go. It’s time for Yangyang to ask me.

Xia Yuyang: Mm- wait! Why did you use force? That’s a bit much! I’ll tell you guys, since you guys can’t see how he used force to cover me. ~Jiejies protect me!~

Gu Ziyao: You just wanted to say that.

Xia Yuyang: Hmph. Mm, Lin-ge!

Lin Zhi: Yes!

Xia Yuyang: Prepare yourself!

Lin Zhi: Mm. Come, you can ask anything. I definitely won’t get mad.

Xia Yuyang: … Ge your… your expression makes it hard to believe that anyone can ask anything.

Lin Zhi: I won’t get mad. :)

Xia Yuyang: Uh… Lin-ge if someone destroyed all of your succulents, you won’t get mad at all, right?

Qiao Shu: Xia Yuyang, you really aren’t afraid of death, are you, Xia Yuyang?

Lin Zhi: Of course! I said it before, I won’t get mad. If my succulents were destroyed, how could I get mad? I can just replant them and clean up the mess, then it’ll be fine~ There really isn’t too much to it. It’s not a bother at all, not tiring at all. And my succulents won’t die. [whispers] So I won’t get mad at all.

Qiao Shu: Captain.

Gu Ziyao: Hm?

Qiao Shu: Let’s sit further away. Let’s not get blood splatter on our clothes~

Xia Yuyang: Ah- Lin, Lin! I’m wrong, I’ll kneel down and kowtow right now please don’t look at me with that scary smiling expression to talk to me? The way you’re looking at me, you’re scaring me-

Lin Zhi: Of course~ But do you know what day it is today?

Xia Yuyang: Huh?

Gu Ziyao: I suddenly have a bad feeling.

Qiao Shu: Me too. But let’s move onto the next round.

Xia Yuyang: Aiyo- ge- the way you’re acting- I’m really afraid! Captain, can we switch seats?

Lin Zhi: Okay okay, switch what seats? What’s so scary? Isn’t today the hundredth day of our debut? Why are you scared?

Xia Yuyang: Just now I almost felt like today I’d get killed in action a hundred times!

Lin Zhi: [laughing] You won’t, you won’t. I’m just joking. Then, I’ll continue with the second round! Meng-jie says we have to add to your… okay, okay! Let me think why… we have to make it harder… mm! Okay! Then, Ziyao, you love to eat cilantro, right?

Gu Ziyao: Of course. Hunan cuisine is not bad.

Lin Zhi: Huh?

Xia Yuyang: Whoa, captain is so great! Cilantro and Hunan cuisine are very different, you know! You can do that too?!

***cilantro/coriander/chinese parsley = xiang cai (香菜), and hunan cuisine = xiang cai (湘菜), and are pronounced exactly the same

Qiao Shu: I’ve learned…

Lin Zhi: Learned, learned…

Xia Yuyang: Then, captain, are there times where you become someone who speaks a lot?

Gu Ziyao: Of course. When I need to be. But if I don’t have to speak, then I won’t.

Xia Yuyang: Ah, then you’ll be coquettish, right?

Gu Ziyao: Why do you keep asking me?

Xia Yuyang: Aiya, you actually knew! I thought you hadn’t reacted yet.

Qiao Shu: I suddenly want to ask, you can drink a lot of alcohol, right?

Gu Ziyao: Uh-

Lin Zhi: [laughs]

Gu Ziyao: I have to talk about this for a second. Before, when I drank too much, people thought I was bad with alcohol. I saw someone say I could get drunk with one cup. I-

Lin Zhi: [laughs] Okay okay, on this topic, everyone is pretty unclear. That day, he did drink a lot, since we were celebrating our debut. But it was almost only Ziyao who was drinking. But since we’re broadcasting, let’s not talk too much about this topic. Everyone still has to drink moderately, take care of your body. But minors, don’t think about that, okay?

Xia Yuyang: Whoa, I just saw on the public board a lot of people are sending messages saying that captain is being coquettish. Everyone is focusing on that point. How do you say that sentence again? We were talking about drinking alcohol, a few sips should be enough. On rare occasions, captain will drink some, everyone, don’t misunderstand.

Gu Ziyao: Mm.

Qiao Shu: Captain, it’s your turn to ask.

Gu Ziyao: Can you stay alone in a room with no light?

Qiao Shu: Of course. As long as I’m asleep and I can’t see it, then there’s no problem.

Xia Yuyang: Then can you sleep before 10 pm~?

Qiao Shu: Of course~ if I continuously pull all-nighters for a few days then I can fall asleep at any time. For example, before a dress rehearsal. I’ve answered follow-up questions as well. There’s no more, right? Then I’ll ask. Xia Yuyang, can you go a day without speaking?

Xia Yuyang: Tch.

Qiao Shu: It looks like you can’t.

Xia Yuyang: I can! Didn’t I just do that earlier?

Qiao Shu: Well, aren’t you speaking again right now?

Lin Zhi: [laughs]

Qiao Shu: Ah~ let me set a lower standard. Can you go the rest of today’s broadcast without speaking?

Xia Yuyang: Tch! You’re looking down on me. Isn’t it just not speaking? Then, I’ll stop talking now. Audience, you all heard it, Qiao Shu-ge told me not to speak. Then there’ll be no more sound from me.

Lin Zhi: Wait, that's not okay, we can’t do that. If we do that, then Meng-jie might come over and yell at us. She’s already glaring at us. But, just now, Yangyang indeed did not answer, so he has to receive punishment.

Xia Yuyang: Wait- no-

Qiao Shu: Ah? Why are you speaking again? It hasn’t even been a minute!

Xia Yuyang: [various noises of disgruntlement]

Lin Zhi: Okay okay, we’re broadcasting, don’t fight, don’t fight. [laughing] Then, it’s time for Yangyang to ask! So even if Yangyang speaks, it won’t be breaking the rules, there’s no problem. Ask away.

Xia Yuyang: I’m not speaking anymore. I’m not going to speak. I’m not gonna say anything.

Lin Zhi: Yangyang… I’m pleading you, Yangyang…

Xia Yuyang: Then I’m going to ask Xiao Qiao-ge, okay?

Lin Zhi: Oh, sure! I don’t have a problem with that.

Xia Yuyang: Then can I ask Meng-jie?

Qiao Shu: Oh, huh. Meng-jie is here. You can ask her, but you can’t ask me.

Xia Yuyang: Then if I ask Meng-jie, what do I ask her? Do I ask her like, [whispers] You haven’t been married this whole time, right? Why don’t you get married? [regular voice] Then won’t she just come over and hit me? She’s going to do that, I’m telling you! I don’t want that! I care about my life! I want to ask you, Qiao Shu. So, your hair’s pretty long, isn’t it~? Then when you wash your face, do you tie your hair into pigtails? [laughing]

Lin Zhi: [laughing]

Qiao Shu: Xia Yuyang, when the broadcast ends, you’d best run a little faster.

Xia Yuyang: Bleh, after the broadcast ends, I’ll order go two cups of milk tea, to bribe captain and Lin-ge to protect me from leaving. No one will try to challenge me~

Gu Ziyao: Naive.

Lin Zhi / Xia Yuyang: Huh?

Gu Ziyao: You can have both cups.

Lin Zhi: Ah? Two cups of milk tea for me…? Then I’ll have to think about it…

Qiao Shu: Hmph. It looks like you won over someone~ it’s a miracle~

Xia Yuyang: Hmph! You can relax. Lin-ge says so… [clears throat] Then, I’ll tell everyone what the staff member just gave us, okay? It’s a card! It says on it, “Only Lin Zhi hasn’t received punishment yet.”

Lin Zhi: Ah…? This…

Xia Yuyang: “You three, please each choose a card from the pile and ask a question to Lin Zhi.” It doesn’t stop!

Lin Zhi: Why…?

Xia Yuyang: So it doesn’t even matter, they’re just trying to fail us all, isn’t that right?

Lin Zhi: Ah… [laughs] Okay, okay. It... looks like everyone has to participate in the punishment. Then, we can only continue. Come at me!

Xia Yuyang: Ah, let me look at it first, to see what choices we have. Let’s look first, look first. Ah! I absolutely have to ask this one. I’m going to ask this one, this one.

Qiao Shu: Whoa, you’re really not afraid of dying, huh.

Xia Yuyang: It’s from the staff members, anyway. What does it have to do with me, Xia Yuyang? I’m just the reader, right, Meng-jie?

Gu Ziyao: Then I’ll ask this one.

Qiao Shu: Okay. Then I’ll ask… this one. Then, let’s start. I’ll go first.

Lin Zhi: Mm.

Qiao Shu: Lin, in Laser, you like Gu Ziyao the most, right?

Lin Zhi: Of course! Who doesn’t like the captain? Although-

Xia Yuyang: Hey! You’re not allowed to clarify, you can’t clarify, you can’t clarify.

Lin Zhi: Ah… okay.

Qiao Shu: [sighs] Then let’s have your favorite Ziyao ask you.

Lin Zhi: Ah, Xiao Qiao…

Qiao Shu: Okay, I won’t tease you anymore.

Gu Ziyao: You can continuously work for five years without resting, right?

Lin Zhi: Of course! But I believe the company wouldn’t do that to me. Right, Meng-jie?

Qiao Shu: That’s not easy to say.

Lin Zhi: Although, jokes aside, considering the aspects of this line of work and Laser’s long term development, there isn’t too much of a problem for young people to work more. And also, even if our work is a little tougher, we are doing what we like. Also, I feel like it’s really nice to be with everyone. So really, I don’t mind. I can accept it.

Xia Yuyang: Whoa, applause, applause! [clapping] Indeed, this is Lin-ge! However, Lin-ge, this question that I chose… you really have to be careful. You have to be cautious!

Gu Ziyao: Wow. He’s gonna die.

Lin Zhi: Wait, is it really that bad? Even Ziyao’s saying it like that…

Qiao Shu: Yeah. I feel like this is a question that could raise problems. Heh, I admire the staff members, [sarcastically] but I admire XIA YUYANG more.

Xia Yuyang: What about it? Meng-jie’s the one who dared to ask, how could I let down today’s broadcast, right? Who knows, there could be a hot new topic~

Lin Zhi: Wait a second, Meng-jie… uh…

Xia Yuyang: Here it comes! [makes weird noises]

Lin Zhi: I’ll try my best!

Xia Yuyang: Excuse me, Lin Zhi!

Lin Zhi: Mm.

Xia Yuyang: If there was a better choice, you’d definitely leave Laser, right?

Lin Zhi: [laughs] So it was like this. Then there’s no way I could say of course! I admit defeat! I admit defeat.

Xia Yuyang: [laughs]

Qiao Shu: I didn’t think it would be this wonderful.

Lin Zhi: There’s no other choice. If this question was asked to anyone, they’d lose, right?

Xia Yuyang: Hey, that’s not for sure. Captain is not a person to admit defeat.

Qiao Shu: He was just defeated by a cat. Did you forget?

Gu Ziyao: In reality, this type of question is just to make us receive punishment. Everybody knows that there’s no way we would leave Laser.

Lin Zhi: Right.

Gu Ziyao: But if we were to really meet this kind of decision, even if it’s just a game, it’s not something that we would joke about. Losing to this kind of question, I feel like it’s no big deal.

Xia Yuyang: That’s right! Meng-jie, doing this to make us receive punishment is a little excessive!

Lin Zhi: [laughs]

Qiao Shu: Are you starting to rebel? Even speaking out against Meng-jie…

Xia Yuyang: I would never dare to speak out against her, I was just describing how I feel…

Lin Zhi: Okay okay, it doesn’t matter anymore.

Xia Yuyang: Aiya, it’s not like Meng-jie can hear us anyway.

Lin Zhi: Losing isn’t too bad either. We can receive the punishment together. Then, let’s receive our punishment. Let’s see the staff member’s prompt card, what’s our punishment? I’m kind of looking forward to it.

Qiao Shu: Why did we have to lose?

Xia Yuyang: Right? Ah-

Lin Zhi: Then let’s see- oh, I’ve received the card. Then, Yangyang, please announce it.

Xia Yuyang: Mm! Hey, I’m looking at the public board and it looks like everyone’s looking forward to us being punished…

Laser: [laughing]

Xia Yuyang: Is there really any benefit to this? Really!

Qiao Shu: Why?

Xia Yuyang: Let me look at it.

Gu Ziyao: This is their entertainment.

Xia Yuyang: Right… Laser will never disband (laser永不散) is pretty good, aiyo.

Xia Yuyang / Lin Zhi: [laughing]

Xia Yuyang: Who’s the cutest? You guys say it, who’s the cutest?

Lin Zhi: [laughs]

Xia Yuyang: Captain, say it. Captain hasn’t really spoken today.

Gu Ziyao: … Everyone’s cute.

Xia Yuyang: Whoa- whoa! Captain’s warmed up to me! Okay moving on! Let’s look at our cards. Our punishment is: randomly choose a person in our group’s… [gasps] Qixi audio.

Lin Zhi: Eh?

Xia Yuyang: Live broadcast. Remember to express your feelings as a listener~! You’re done for~! This truly is tough, this is a public sentence~! Is the person being punished the listener or the person who’s being listened to~? I feel like the four of us are done for!

Qiao Shu: Asking honestly, have you guys listened to the other Qixi audios?

Xia Yuyang: I haven’t.

Lin Zhi: I- I did…

Gu Ziyao: I don’t think I even finished listening to my own.

Lin Zhi: Actually, everyone’s was very… very…

Xia Yuyang: I… That day I listened to my own… Ah… with this chance then I want to listen to Captain’s, and Qiao-ge’s. What exactly did you guys say~?

Lin Zhi: Um… now that we’re stuck here, let’s pick cards.

Qiao Shu: Okay.

Xia Yuyang: Hm? Who picked my card?

Qiao Shu: Hm, hm, hm. Xia Yuyang~

Lin Zhi / Xia Yuyang: [laughing]

Xia Yuyang: Xiao Qiao-ge, Xiao Qiao-ge! Let me say, the second I saw his expression I knew it was him. I’m going to die from laughter. Xiao Qiao-ge, let me tell you, this is our fate. Xiao Qiao~

Qiao Shu: Ah, shut up.

Xia Yuyang: Jiejie~ do you want to eat cake?

Qiao Shu: You’re really like the Daqing Oil Field.

Xia Yuyang: How could I be an oil field? Xiao Qiao-jiejie, I’m your little sweet.

***field = tian (田), and sweet = tian (甜). again, pronounced the same.

Qiao Shu: Just wait until the broadcast is over.

Xia Yuyang / Lin Zhi: [laughing]

Lin Zhi: Okay okay, let’s start then. We can pull names later.

Gu Ziyao: Okay.

Xia Yuyang: Okay! Please let our sound tech member- sister, play the audio file, thank you!

34:45

Listen to LASER's Qixi audios in full here~

Xia Yuyang (audio): Slow down, slow down! The strawberry’s going to fall off. It looks like… the taste is pretty good.

Lin Zhi: [laughing] It’s already too much.

Xia Yuyang (audio): Jiejie, happy Qixi.

Xia Yuyang: Ahh!!!

Xia Yuyang (audio): Hey, don’t hit me, don’t hit me!

Xia Yuyang: Aiya~!!

Lin Zhi: [laughs] It’s nothing.

Xia Yuyang (audio): It’s not because you’re cute.

Xia Yuyang: It’s not that, it’s just hearing your own voice is really… you know?

Xia Yuyang (audio): You just finished your snack, you’re tired already? Then hurry and go rest. It’s already very late.

Xia Yuyang: Ah, Qiao-ge what’s with that expression? Qiao-ge?

Lin Zhi: [laughing]

Xia Yuyang (audio): Go sleep, I’ll be by your side.

Xia Yuyang: Qiao-ge what expression is that, say it clearly.

Lin Zhi: [laughs]

Gu Ziyao: Do you need to ask?

Qiao Shu: Aiya.

Xia Yuyang (audio): Go sleep. That way, when you wake up tomorrow you can eat my specially made Qixi breakfast.

Lin Zhi: [laughs] Okay, calm down, calm down, calm down. All of us, calm down.

Xia Yuyang (audio): Hm… what will I make? Soy milk, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, meat porridge, pancake, douzhi, bean curd, okay?

***douzhi is similar to soy milk, but it’s made with mung beans. it smells kind of sour and egg-like

Xia Yuyang: Oh… ah? Wow, that’s okay.

Xia Yuyang (audio): Have you started crying?

Xia Yuyang: Ah? I saw on the public board that someone said the audio was kind of soft. Over here it’s pretty loud… then we’ll turn it louder.

Qiao Shu: Do we really have to start over again? [laughs]

Xia Yuyang (audio): The taste is pretty good. [kiss] Jiejie, happy Qixi. Hey, don’t hit me, don’t hit me!

Gu Ziyao: How is it? (the sound)

Xia Yuyang (audio): It’s not because you’re cute.

Qiao Shu: Is it okay like this?

Xia Yuyang (audio): You just finished your snack, you’re tired already? Then hurry and go rest. It’s already very late. Go sleep, I’ll be by your side.

Qiao Shu: Huh? You still can’t hear it clearly?

Xia Yuyang: The audio’s already very loud.

Xia Yuyang (audio): Go sleep.

Gu Ziyao: On our side, it’s already very loud. Oh, it’s okay now.

Xia Yuyang (audio): That way, when you wake up tomorrow you can eat my specially made Qixi breakfast. Hm… what will I make? Soy milk, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, meat porridge, pancake, douzhi, bean curd.

Xia Yuyang: It’s not loud enough, is it? Oh, some people can hear it clearly!

Qiao Shu: It’s pretty much there, right?

Gu Ziyao: Mm.

Lin Zhi: If everyone can hear it clearly, then it’s okay.

Xia Yuyang (audio): Okay? Have you started crying?

Xia Yuyang: Let me tell you guys-

Gu Ziyao: Let’s give everyone a punishment.

Lin Zhi: It wasn’t too bad!

Gu Ziyao: Make them listen to it again.

Xia Yuyang: Ah, you-!

Lin Zhi: [laughs]

Xia Yuyang (audio): The taste is pretty good.

Xia Yuyang: Captain, you’re going to make me die from anger.

Lin Zhi: It’s okay, it’s okay, everyone likes it~

Xia Yuyang (audio): Jiejie, happy Qixi.

Gu Ziyao: Okay.

Lin Zhi: Are we done?

Xia Yuyang (audio): Hey, don’t hit me, don’t hit me!

Lin Zhi: Then, let’s start giving feedback.

Xia Yuyang: Ah… we’re done, we’re done. I- uh- ah…

Lin Zhi: [laughs]

Xia Yuyang: Then, what can I say? I- I… you guys can speak

Qiao Shu / Lin Zhi: [laughs]

Qiao Shu: Very calm. I wanted to complain while listening.

Lin Zhi / Gu Ziyao: Huh?

Lin Zhi: [laughs]

Qiao Shu: Reading off food names, this kind of thing, do you really think that you can lull people to sleep?

Xia Yuyang: Hm? I think you can?

Qiao Shu: Ah, I think waking up the next morning and ordering takeout would be better. And there was also douzhi.

Lin Zhi: [laughs]

Qiao Shu: I really admire that. Even now, I remember when Xia Yuyang pulled me to try douzhi. Sorry Beijing friends, I don’t mean to offend, but to me, this thing… really is… dark cuisine.

Lin Zhi: Oh, speaking of this, Ziyao, you’re from Beijing. What are your views on douzhi?

Gu Ziyao: It’s okay. I can eat it, but I don’t like it.

Xia Yuyang: I feel like it smells a bit weird, but the flavor is really not bad! You guys really… don’t like it?

Lin Zhi: Uh… I… really don’t like it. I might be similar to Xiao Qiao, I’ll have that... that kind of reaction. What kind of reaction, I won’t say, so people won’t feel uncomfortable. Then, let’s let Xiao Qiao continue?

Qiao Shu: I still want to complain; why do you always make strawberry cake? For Qixi, you made strawberry cake. For 《The Seduction of Suspect A》, you also made strawberry cake. If you think about it this way, then who would want to eat your Qixi cake? Won’t they be afraid that they’ll turn out like Zhen Baijie?

Xia Yuyang: Ahh! I’m not going to listen to your cat chanting. If you have business, go look for a screenwriter!

Lin Zhi: Okay okay, then, after listening, what were your thoughts?

Qiao Shu: Mm, you said “jiejie” a lot of times. Next time you can take care of geges. You can forget about didis and meimeis; they’re too young. Study hard! Next reaction~

Xia Yuyang: Look at him, Xiao Qiao-ge is forcing us to continue. I’ll go! I got… captain’s!

Lin Zhi: [laughs]

Xia Yuyang: Mm. I’m just very curious. Usually when captain talks to us he’s all “mm, mm, okay, okay.” I want to see just how he coaxes people on Qixi.

Gu Ziyao: Sorry for troubling the staff member to play the audio file, to prove that I can say other things.

Qiao Shu / Lin Zhi: [laughing]

39:17

Gu Ziyao (audio): I’m done showering, yet you still haven’t dried your hair.

Xia Yuyang: Wow.

Gu Ziyao (audio): Come over here.

Lin Zhi: [laughs] Here it comes again, here it comes again.

Xia Yuyang: Wow.

Gu Ziyao: He’s like a golden retriever.

Lin Zhi: Calm down. [laughs]

Qiao Shu: [laughs] Golden retriever.

Xia Yuyang: Wow.

Gu Ziyao (audio): Don’t move, you’ll get water on yourself. Give me the comb.

Xia Yuyang: Wow…

Gu Ziyao (audio): Did I hurt you? Then I’ll be gentler.

Lin Zhi: Actually, I think Yangyang’s reaction is more interesting than captain’s. [laughs]

Gu Ziyao (audio): It’s midnight.

Xia Yuyang: Wow.

Gu Ziyao (audio): Happy Qixi.

Xia Yuyang: Wow…

Lin Zhi: [laughs]

Gu Ziyao (audio): Your hair’s dry now, you should get some rest early. We still have to get up early tomorrow.

Xia Yuyang: Your hair’s dry… early… early what?

Gu Ziyao (audio): We have to get up early tomorrow and pack our luggage. We’re going to Paris.

Lin Zhi: It’s okay, it’s okay, captain. It’s okay.

Gu Ziyao: It should be “get some rest early.”

Gu Ziyao (audio): We’re leaving on Qixi.

Xia Yuyang: We’re leaving on Qixi…

Gu Ziyao (audio): And when we get to Paris, it will still be Valentine’s day.

***qixi = chinese valentine’s day

Xia Yuyang: Wow, he’s usually not like this…

Lin Zhi: [laughs]

Gu Ziyao (audio): My Qixi, every minute, every second, belongs to you.

Xia Yuyang: Every second…

Lin Zhi: Captain, calm down, calm down.

Gu Ziyao (audio): I’m done showering.

Lin Zhi: It doesn’t matter, Ziyao. It’s okay.

Gu Ziyao: This is everything.

Xia Yuyang: My god, I really feel like I know a fake Gu Ziyao! Really! Seriously, the person sitting next to me, is it you, captain?

Gu Ziyao: Of course I am.

Xia Yuyang: Who is the person in the audio file? Tell me. Who exactly is Gu Ziyao? I’m telling you guys, this isn’t a simple Qixi audio file. This is a medical breakthrough!

Lin Zhi: [laughing]

Xia Yuyang: Aiya! What did you hit me for?

Gu Ziyao: Who hit you?

Xia Yuyang: Captain, your methods are very elementary- you’re the one who hit me! But it doesn’t matter, our 21 year old captain will also sometimes exhibit childish behavior. Everyone can understand that, right? It’s probably like, people who are cool guys who have crushes, milk covers still have covers, right, captain?

***milk cover refers to people who are cold on the outside but childish on the inside

Lin Zhi: [laughs]

Gu Ziyao: They said to react to the audio file, not to me.

Xia Yuyang: Oh? Captain’s learning how to redirect questions as well? That’s a new skill learned! Applause, applause!

Qiao Shu: Xia Yuyang, hurry up.

Xia Yuyang: Aiya, okay, I won’t mess around anymore. I’m just really surprised, captain can actually say so many words. He probably spoke more than he would in a week at Xiaobailou.

Lin Zhi: [laughs] I think that’s about right.

Xia Yuyang: You see, cool guys are certainly cool, but inside, they actually have a lot to say. You guys understand what I mean, right? It’s not enough! Jiejies and meimeis, dry your eyes, your cool guy isn’t an iceberg. You definitely don’t want to hold that against him. Let me think, okay. Captain is just a person who speaks less than normal; he’s not dumb, right? He’s very clear in his mind when he needs to be. Look at him, look at him. He’s very good at acting! Aiya, I see a bunch of messages on the public board saying “husband!”

Lin Zhi: [laughs]

Xia Yuyang: No one’s ever called me husband before!!!

Qiao Shu: What other reason is there? It’s because you’re a didi.

Xia Yuyang: I feel like you’re ridiculing me, Xiao Qiao-ge.

Qiao Shu: Be more confident in yourself, stupid didi.

Xia Yuyang: Today you- we’re doing a Maoer broadcast and you don’t even leave me some dignity?

Qiao Shu: Okay, sorry.

Xia Yuyang / Lin Zhi: Okay.

Lin Zhi: Okay, okay. By the way, I heard that when Ziyao was recording, wasn’t it very wordy?

Gu Ziyao: Mm. I don’t really know how to perform this kind of thing, and there really were too many words. If you want to coax someone to go to sleep, then just be quiet and lay down. Isn’t that good enough?

Lin Zhi: [laughing]

Qiao Shu: Uh, captain, are you having difficulty speaking right now?

Xia Yuyang: I feel like you’re trying to hint at something…

Gu Ziyao: I know, since it was for Qixi, but I still feel like it wasn’t necessary.

Xia Yuyang: I have a question. Why is it that the same situation- having wet hair- when my hair’s wet, captain’s so fierce? He just directly yells at me, “Xia Yuyang! Go dry your hair!” Listen to that, guys! This compared to what we heard in the Qixi audio file, is that even the same person? Huh?

Gu Ziyao: Is there more?

Xia Yuyang: There is! You went to fly to Paris for Qixi. It won’t affect you too much, so can I use your SVIP card?

Gu Ziyao: When there’s an opportunity.

Lin Zhi: Eh? How come I hear something like a plan?

Gu Ziyao: If the opportunity comes, we can go on a vacation together. I think that’s pretty good too.

Lin Zhi: Then, do you want to go to Paris?

Gu Ziyao: I think going anywhere is fine.

Qiao Shu: Anyway we’ll be using the captain’s card, right?

Xia Yuyang: You knew exactly what I was going to ask, Qiao Shu-ye~

Gu Ziyao: Mm, anywhere is fine.

Lin Zhi: [laughs] If we can use his card, then I’ll start looking forward to it too! Then let’s hope when there’s a time that we don’t have work arrangements, the four of us can go on a vacation. Then we can share it with everyone. What do you think, everyone?

Xia Yuyang: What do you guys think~? Let’s look at the public board, whoa-

Lin Zhi: Let’s look at the public board. [laughs]

Xia Yuyang: They said to remember to post on Weibo. There’s a person- they’re called Wei Xi- saying local tycoon. Ah, that’s Meng-jie. Then we’ll go ask Meng-jie for reimbursement when we go on vacation~

Lin Zhi: [laughs] Meng-jie-

Xia Yuyang: Oh there’s another- captain, say one, captain, say one.

Lin Zhi: Meng-jie’s glaring at us…

Xia Yuyang: Captain-

Qiao Shu: Do you guys want Lin Zhi to-

Gu Ziyao: Bring me to the depths of the clouds where the whereabouts of the moon is unknown.

Xia Yuyang: Okay, send the address. You put the address- tell the captain where it is and he’ll bring you there.

Qiao Shu: Let’s look at the public board~ look at the public board.

Xia Yuyang: Everyone’s agreeing, then we’ll do that. Then, who’s next? Ah? Lin-ge or captain?

Lin Zhi: Mm…

Qiao Shu: Do you guys want Lin-ge or captain?

Lin Zhi: Then let’s… look at the public board? Let’s wait for a second.

Qiao Shu: Oh~ I saw on the board that someone said to look at Lin’s first.

Xia Yuyang: Lin-ge, whoa. Lin-ge, Lin-ge. Ah, there’s also ones that say captain. But Lin-ge’s came out first.

Lin Zhi: Ah… Then… okay! I got…

Qiao Shu: Let’s look at Lin-ge’s reaction.

Lin Zhi: Okay! I got… Xiao Qiao! Sorry to inconvenience the staff member to play it~

Qiao Shu: Oh, me?

Lin Zhi: [laughs] Yeah, let me listen to it. Okay!

Xia Yuyang: Lin-ge remember to pay attention to your expressions. Let me interpret your expressions.

Qiao Shu: Mm…

45:00

Qiao Shu (audio): It’s really late.

Lin Zhi: Uh…

Qiao Shu (audio): How come you haven’t gone to sleep?

Lin Zhi: Um…

Qiao Shu (audio): I’ll hold you. Go sleep.

Lin Zhi: Uh, wait a second. This-

Qiao Shu (audio): Hm? What’s wrong? Why do you suddenly want me to tell you a bedtime story?

Lin Zhi: [stuttering]

Qiao Shu (audio): Today is Qixi? I thought it was Children’s Day… Will you be able to sleep by the time I finish the story? You’re sure?

Xia Yuyang: You’re still not done? You’re saying so much.

Qiao Shu (audio): Okay.

Xia Yuyang: How is it?

Lin Zhi: Uh…

Qiao Shu (audio): A romantic story?

Xia Yuyang: How do you feel?

Lin Zhi: I’ll… keep listening…

Qiao Shu (audio): Shouldn’t I tell a boring story if I am to coax you to sleep?

Xia Yuyang: I see on the public board that everyone’s messaging… husband?!

Gu Ziyao: Very crazy.

Qiao Shu (audio): Mm, have you heard the story of the cow herder and the weaver girl?

Xia Yuyang: What did you say? When I listened just now, it was done broadcasting. What did he say, Lin-ge?

Qiao Shu (audio): Let me tell you about Altair and Vega.

Xia Yuyang: Oh, he’s still speaking. Oh~ Whoa the public board- Lin-ge- What did he say, Lin-ge, tell me.

Lin Zhi: Uh… actually, I wasn’t able to understand most of it… but I feel like Xiao Qiao would actually make me want to sleep.

Xia Yuyang: Want to sleep?

Lin Zhi: If I was the person being coaxed, I might really get sleepy!

Qiao Shu: So I was the only one who was normal, that’s what you mean.

Gu Ziyao: [clears throat]

Xia Yuyang: Look, look. Captain said not to say too much or imply anything, everyone understands that. But Lin-ge, that’s not right for you. You have to look at it from the audience’s perspective. For example, like the public board, right? Learn from the fans- ahhh~!! Gege I’m okay now, I’m okay now~! I’ll go to sleep right now~!

Lin Zhi: [laughing] Everyone’s sending “husband” messages.

Xia Yuyang: How am I supposed to sleep like this~! You have to have this kind of attitude to evaluate it! Right, Meng-jie?

Lin Zhi: Uh… uh, actually I don’t know why…

Xia Yuyang: Shy? Lin-ge’s shy!

Lin Zhi: Ah…no...

Xia Yuyang: [laughs]

Gu Ziyao: Your face is red.

Lin Zhi: Uh… I also don’t know why, maybe it’s because I don’t usually see Xiao Qiao like this. How do I describe this? He’s just… kind of like a cat. Like that… gentle teasing kind of feeling. It feels a little… like soft mist, maybe more like soft rumbling, something like that. Comparatively lazy feeling. Mm, actually now, girls really like cat-like boys, right? It’s like this, right?

Qiao Shu: Uh… I see messages on the public board saying they do like this type. Then, do you guys like Da Qiao?

Lin Zhi: Right, do you guys like Da Qiao?

Xia Yuyang: Oh right, on this topic, uh, ge, why don’t you talk about interesting things that happened to you with Da Qiao? For example, captain giving Da Qiao a bath, or something like that?

Gu Ziyao: Right now I feel like I shouldn’t give Da Qiao baths. She’s a girl.

Lin Zhi: Oh, right. Speaking of this, I remembered something. Oh, I’ll say it, okay? Our group found that Da Qiao was left at the door to Xiaobailou, in a cardboard box. And then, Xiao Qiao brought her inside. We don’t know who or why they left her, but at that time we didn’t plan to actually keep Da Qiao.

Xia Yuyang: Mm, right.

Qiao Shu: Actually, it’s not just because of captain. Captain was actually a very small part of this. As long as Da Qiao kept her distance from captain, then it would… how do I say this? Just like now, they can peacefully get along. What we were considering more was that actually, the four of us don’t have the time to take care of a small life form.

Xia Yuyang: Mm, everyone knows we have a lot of work every day, and we’re very busy, so we’re often out. To a pet, I feel like that’s being pretty irresponsible.

Lin Zhi: Mm. However, it was because after we raised her for a few days, we got a feeling that Da Qiao was extremely attentive and listened to us, she seemed really understanding.

Xia Yuyang: Mm! Mm.

Lin Zhi: She was very obedient. And she seems to understand our situation very well. So we really weren’t able to resist. In addition, Ziyao was willing, so we really couldn’t bear to send her away.

Gu Ziyao: Mm, so we let her stay.

Qiao Shu: Today, we actually wanted to bring her to the broadcast, but it was very coincidental that today was the day she was getting spayed.

Lin Zhi: [laughs]

Qiao Shu: Liang liang took her to the vet. Um… it should be over by now, huh.

Xia Yuyang: [laughing]

Lin Zhi: Yeah.

Xia Yuyang: I have to say this in particular, after the broadcast is over, we are going to see a drugged Da Qiao. You guys have seen that type of picture on the internet, after a dog or a cat gets neutered. Aiya, they really are so miserable and cute. But don’t worry guys, we will visit her a lot! And actually, there are benefits to sterilizing her, so everyone can relax.

***anaesthesia

Lin Zhi: Right, no need to worry. Oh yeah, the thing I remembered was when we first got Da Qiao, we all treated her as a male. It was only later that we realized she was a girl.

Xia Yuyang: Right, right. At that time, we thought if she was a male, we could’ve just raised her with less care and it would be okay, we wouldn’t have to worry too much. But because the vet realized she was a girl, Xiao Qiao-ge immediately went to buy a bunch of small dresses for Da Qiao. I almost laughed to death!

Lin Zhi: [laughing]

Xia Yuyang: Hurry guys, type out “Qiao Shu, old man” onto the public board! [laughing]

Qiao Shu: Don’t all girls like dresses?

Lin Zhi: Xiao Qiao really is heartless.

Xia Yuyang: Not all girls do! Come, come! It’s time for the last group. Let’s give the spotlight and stage to captain! Please broadcast Lin-ge’s Qixi audio file~.

Lin Zhi: Uh…

Xia Yuyang: Thank you~.

Lin Zhi: Wait a moment, wait a moment. I…

Xia Yuyang: Huh~?

Lin Zhi: I…

Qiao Shu: Huh? Let me listen.

Lin Zhi: Suddenly I feel a little nervous.

Xia Yuyang: Aiya, don’t worry, even captain’s not nervous. Let’s go!

Lin Zhi: Ziyao, Ziyao. Um…

Gu Ziyao: Don’t worry.

Lin Zhi: Um… [coughs and clears throat] Uh…

50:25

Lin Zhi (audio): There is a legend that says on the night of Qixi,

Lin Zhi: [coughs]

Lin Zhi (audio): When it’s late at night,

Lin Zhi: [coughs some more]

Lin Zhi (audio): And you hold the people you love close to you, if you close your eyes, you can hear the whispers of the cow herder and the weaver girl. Do you want to try? Ten fingers clasped tightly together… When we are together, every day is Qixi. Hm? You’re still struggling to choose a gift?

Gu Ziyao: Very gentlemanly, executed very smoothly.

Lin Zhi (audio): Then...

Xia Yuyang: Okay, mm.

Lin Zhi: I-

Lin Zhi (audio): Can I choose a gift?

Qiao Shu: I strongly agree, and I have nothing more to say.

Lin Zhi (audio): Mm, I really want it.

Xia Yuyang: So, ten fingers clasped tightly together-

Lin Zhi: Okay! Don’t imitate it anymore, don’t learn from me anymore!

Xia Yuyang: Ten fingers clasped tightly together-

Qiao Shu: What did I just hear? That was too lacking in sweetness.

Xia Yuyang: Hey, what are you saying?

Lin Zhi (audio): I’ll carry you to bed.

Lin Zhi: Ah, okay, okay! For reactions… I’m just going to stop it here. I believe, just now… didn’t you guys hear it?

Xia Yuyang: Mm?

Lin Zhi: If you didn’t hear it, then just forget about it! If you didn’t hear it, then just forget about it.

Xia Yuyang: Mm.

Lin Zhi: I think…

Qiao Shu: Mm.

Lin Zhi: We can go… we can go listen to it by ourselves somewhere else, okay? By ourselves... okay? It’s really too…

Xia Yuyang: It’s already on our Laser album! Everyone can go stream it~

Qiao Shu: Then we can move onto the next segment.

51:48

Xia Yuyang: Okay! The next segment! Raffle! Raffle!

Lin Zhi: Okay. Then, Ziyao, do you want to do the introduction?

Gu Ziyao: Mm. I’ll still be the one introducing. This time, we are going to pick five friends to be raffle winners. The prize is a Laser surprise gift package, one for each winner. Thanks to Maoer FM for providing the prizes, thank you.

Qiao Shu: However, this time, the rules for winning are a little different. Laser will ask all of the fans a question. After we start, the fans will type the answer onto the public board. A staff member will take a screenshot of the board after the countdown ends. The asker will determine who they think answered correctly, and award them the prize.

Xia Yuyang: Mm!

Lin Zhi: Mm. Let me remind everyone that we will read out the winner’s id. Then, the winner has to contact station M’s Laser official account. Then let’s continue from last round’s raffle. Then Yangyang can go first!

***pretty sure station M = Maoer FM website / app

Xia Yuyang: Mm! Okay! My question is “Which Laser member is the most handsome?” Hurry and type it out onto the public board!

Lin Zhi: [laughs]

Qiao Shu: Wow, you’re really this shameless.

Xia Yuyang: Who is the most handsome~? Whoa, they’re all saying “Xia Yuyang!” Look, they’re all saying “Xia Yuyang.”

Lin Zhi: [laughing]

Gu Ziyao: You- are you sure?

Xia Yuyang: Yes! Look, almost all of it is me. It’s all “Xia Yuyang.” So, for this question, I think everyone can see it clearly. From now on, be a little nicer to me, okay? Captain, Qiao-ge?

Qiao Shu: It’s nothing.

Lin Zhi: It’s you, it’s you. [laughing]

Qiao Shu: As long as you’re happy, it’s fine. It’s all you.

Xia Yuyang: What? I can’t say the truth anymore? Really-

Gu Ziyao: Hurry up.

Xia Yuyang: Oh, then I’ll count down now! Okay, 3, 2, 1, start! Ah, I’ll see who put the correct answer.

***he should’ve said stop…

Lin Zhi: Please wait a moment.

Xia Yuyang: Aiya! [会自己走过来的明证据]!

Lin Zhi: [laughs]

Xia Yuyang: Congratulations to this friend! Thank you!

Gu Ziyao: Did he get a certificate?

Lin Zhi: [laughs]

Xia Yuyang: Congratulations, remember to claim your prize. Remember to contact the account on the website that has a “v”~ Okay.

Lin Zhi: Remember to contact our Maoer account, the Laser official account to claim your prize.

Xia Yuyang: Okay!

Lin Zhi: Then, next up is-

Gu Ziyao: It’s my turn?

Lin Zhi: Ziyao? Oh, you’re right. Let’s start; hurry up a little.

Gu Ziyao: Okay. My question is “What day was Laser’s second song released?” You can answer now.

Xia Yuyang: Wow. Honestly, this question is pretty hard.

Lin Zhi: This… really is pretty hard.

Xia Yuyang: Let me see, see what dates people are saying.

Qiao Shu: Do you remember?

Xia Yuyang: Mm. Let’s see who’s the fastest.

Qiao Shu: Yangyang, do you remember?

Xia Yuyang: Of course I remember.

Gu Ziyao: It’s (the public board) full of question marks.

Xia Yuyang: [whispers] But I won’t tell you.

Qiao Shu: You don’t need to, I remember.

Lin Zhi: Then, Yangyang, you tell me.

Xia Yuyang: Okay! [whispers] 8/28, 8/28.

Lin Zhi: Oh! It’s 8/28, right?

Xia Yuyang: Whoa, you really-

Lin Zhi: [laughs]

Xia Yuyang: Whoa! You’re too nice! Everyone on the public board is getting it right now!

Lin Zhi: Eh? Mm? What?

Xia Yuyang: Hurry, hurry, take a screenshot.

Gu Ziyao: Then we can take the screenshot now. 3, 2, 1, stop. We’re going to wait a moment for the staff member… Okay, congratulations to [1诺基亚].

Lin Zhi: Congratulations to this friend!

Gu Ziyao: Congratulations on winning a Laser surprise gift package.

Qiao Shu: Congratulations~

Gu Ziyao: Right. Our account is where you can claim the prize, remember it’s the account with the “v.”

Lin Zhi: [laughs] Okay. Then, it’s my question next! Everyone, get ready. My question is “What was the first group we participated in called?”

Xia Yuyang: Mm!

Lin Zhi: This one should be very easy! Uh, hold on, I’ll look at the public board. Then… oh, everybody’s already sending messages. Then, I’ll start. 3, 2, 1, stop! Okay, let’s wait a moment for our staff member to organize the messages. Let’s see who is our lucky winner~ Oh? It’s this person! Their name is [胶圈麻团]. [laughs] It sounds like a delicious name. Then, congratulations to this winner! Please quickly contact our Maoer Laser official account to claim your prize. Remember that it’s the account that has a “v.”

***the winner’s username is “sesame balls” (very tasty!! especially the ones with red bean paste)

Qiao Shu: Okay, continuing. Then, my question is “What kind of cat is Da Qiao?” “What kind of cat is Da Qiao?”

Xia Yuyang: You can start now~

Qiao Shu: Everyone, send your messages, send your messages! Okay. 3-

Xia Yuyang: Whoa, wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow

Qiao Shu: 2, 1, stop. Let me see… who it is. Who is it? Is it this person who answered first? Okay, it’s this person called [蓝英语练]. Congratulations, congratulations. You must be very happy.

Lin Zhi: Congratulations, congratulations.

Qiao Shu: Right, and for receiving, you have to contact our Laser official account on the website to get your prize.

Xia Yuyang: Mm.

Lin Zhi: Yes, that’s right.

Xia Yuyang: Okay. Then I’ll ask the last question.

Lin Zhi: Last question~

Xia Yuyang: Let me think, what should I ask this time? Let’s do a “finish the lyrics,” okay? Listen carefully. We’re finishing the lyrics. Focus on you, focus on you~ What comes after that? 3, 2, 1, quickly, quickly, quickly!

Lin Zhi: Oh?

Qiao Shu: [laughs]

Xia Yuyang: Who is it, who is it, who is it?

Lin Zhi: The prompt is-

Xia Yuyang: Ah~, who is going to win the prize?

Lin Zhi: Ei, the prompt is asking for three consecutive English words.

Xia Yuyang: Okay,

Lin Zhi: Audience, did you all hear it?

Xia Yuyang: congratulations to classmate [碳酸米]!

***not literal classmates, just a friendly term

Lin Zhi: Congratulations, congratulations!

Xia Yuyang: Classmate [碳酸米]! Classmate [碳酸米], remember to contact our official account! Congratulations!

Lin Zhi: That’s right.

Xia Yuyang: Okay, let’s make the most of our time and go directly to our next segment.

57:27

Lin Zhi: Okay. For our next segment, it will be the Q&A segment! The questions are taken from Weibo. So our time is limited, and we’ll hurry up. We have to take advantage of our time at Xiaobailou. When we’re still able to, we’d like to try and answer more questions!

Gu Ziyao: Mm. Okay.

Qiao Shu: Let’s get into it.

Xia Yuyang: Mm! For the friends whose questions have been chosen, remember that after the broadcast is over, contact Laser’s official Weibo to receive your prize. Each person will get a lucky bag with extremely good gifts; you definitely don’t want to pass it up. Then we will start now! Captain goes first! Good luck!

Gu Ziyao: Mm, okay. The first person is called [莫哥在别], and they want to know “What are your nicknames for each other in WeChat? Very curious, hahahaha.”

***literal translation is “remark,” but a person’s remark in wechat is just their nickname

Qiao Shu: Are we allowed to say this?

Lin Zhi: I feel like we should be able to.

Xia Yuyang: This… I feel like you probably are able to. Ah, you can, of course you can, why not?

Lin Zhi: Oh, Meng-jie nodded!

Xia Yuyang: My nickname for captain is a bunch of snow mountain emojis plus “captain,” Xiao Qiao-ge is just a cat (emoji), Lin-ge is just Lin-ge.

Qiao Shu: My nicknames are: captain, Lin, Yangyang. Nothing special.

Lin Zhi: Mm, mine aren’t that interesting either. However, I added their birthdays after their names. For example, our Ziyao, would be “Ziyao1115.”

Xia Yuyang: So, Lin-ge, do you just not remember our birthdays?

Lin Zhi: It’s not that, it’s just one of my habits.

Xia Yuyang: Then, what about captain?

Gu Ziyao: It’s just your names. Lin Zhi, Qiao Shu, Xia Yuyang.

Xia Yuyang: That’s a little bit too boring, isn’t it?

Gu Ziyao: Okay, next person. The next person is called [全小毛，小毛球]. They asked “Gu Ziyao, sing “Learn to Meow,” and dance while singing, cat emoji.”

Lin Zhi: [laughing]

Gu Ziyao: [sighs]

Xia Yuyang: Hehe, hehe!

Gu Ziyao: Are all the questions like this?

Xia Yuyang: Hehe, this time you’ve got to try harder. You can’t half-ass it.

Lin Zhi: Mm.

Xia Yuyang: Or else you’ll let down your fans and they’ll be really heartbroken, right, right?

Lin Zhi: Do you know how to sing it, Ziyao?

Xia Yuyang: Aren’t I right? Look, become cute, captain~ you can do it!

Lin Zhi: [laughs] People are already sending messages! Then, Ziyao, what do you think?

Gu Ziyao: Ai… Let’s… learn to meow together, together, meow meow meow meow meow...

Lin Zhi / Qiao Shu: [laughs]

Qiao Shu: That wasn’t easy.

Gu Ziyao: That’s enough.

Xia Yuyang: Aiya, next time ask captain for a different song, okay? Lin-ge, it’s your turn.

Lin Zhi: Okay, okay. Then, the next friend is called [天癸十三]. They said it like this. “Hello, Lin Zhi laoshi. I honestly really really like you. As I thought about it more and more, I decided I couldn’t be afraid of myself. In these past 100 days, I saw a different you. In the next 100 days, or in the future, you have to keep going. Could I ask laoshi to read ‘For you, a thousand times over’? Thank you laoshi.”

Lin Zhi / Xia Yuyang: Hm?

Qiao Shu: Um… that simple…?

Xia Yuyang: Right, it’s that simple?

Lin Zhi: Of course I can, of course I can! Mm, for you, a thousand times over. This quote… should be from a book, right?

Xia Yuyang: Oops sorry, someone called me. [laughs] I’m sorry.

Lin Zhi: Then let’s… let’s return to the broadcast. I didn’t remember wrong, right? It’s a line from a book. For you, a thousand times over. Right? I hope you like it.

***this quote is from The Kite Runner

Xia Yuyang: Whoa. Lin-ge is so amazing.

Lin Zhi: [laughs] Then, I’ll go to the next person. This person is called… oh? It has two underscores. It’s like this, it’s [_石蕊约_]. Their question is “Have you four ever thought about singing traditional music?”

Xia Yuyang: Hm…

Lin Zhi: “People are looking forward to it!”

Qiao Shu: Hm…

Lin Zhi: From a business point of view, it’s probably up to the working arrangements. Personally, I want to try singing different types of songs. The four of us hope to have more chances to bring everyone surprises. So, look forward to it?

Qiao Shu: I’m really looking forward to it. Traditional music is also very popular. In addition, the MV that we would make could be very different. Everyone, look forward to it!

Xia Yuyang: Aiya, the second music is brought up, Xiao Qiao-ge becomes attentive. Come on, ge, it’s your turn!

Qiao Shu: Uh… okay. The first person, [奶业效力], asks “Are you guys wearing long underwear? Wear long underwear, wear long underwear, wear long underwear?” Ah, why did you have to ask so many times? I didn’t wear them.

Gu Ziyao: I didn’t either.

Xia Yuyang: I obviously- didn’t wear them either! Who would wear long underwear? Handsome guys like us would never wear long underwear.

Lin Zhi: I also didn’t. Although it’s already cold in Beijing, but recently it’s been okay. I feel like it would be considered comfortable weather. Also, we’ve almost always been inside, so for our bodies, it's okay. Everyone, remember to stay warm. You should wear it, and remember to wear it properly.

Qiao Shu: The next person is called [春日垂柳]. They ask “Qiao Shu, how did you improve your relationship with Da Qiao? Why does my cat always ignore me? Wuwuwuwu… Also, do you hug the cat when you sleep? Does Da Qiao still secretly go to captain’s room? Hahaha! I ask too many questions, hahahaha.”

Xia Yuyang: Whoa, this person really has a lot of questions. You individually asked three!

Qiao Shu: Hm… Don’t be too forceful for your relationship with your cat. If you force it to follow your way of thinking, then I suggest you don’t raise a cat. Cats might look like they’re lazy, devoid of energy, and do whatever they want, but they’re really self-motivated pets. If it’s ignoring you, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t like you. Like how our captain doesn’t speak a lot, but it doesn’t mean he doesn’t have emotions.

Lin Zhi: [laughs]

Gu Ziyao: What does this have to do with me?

Qiao Shu: Don’t fans say you’re like a lion? They’re all felines, about the same.

Xia Yuyang: You can define it like that?

Lin Zhi: [laughs] Actually, it’s pretty reasonable. Then, Yangyang, you can start.

Xia Yuyang: Mm! Okay, no problem! Let me take a look. This online friend is called [小乐], classmate [乐]. Their question is “After this is over, do you guys have any other variety shows? Hopefully the happiness doesn’t disappear!” Mm, of course~ we do~!

Lin Zhi: [laughs]

Xia Yuyang: This is just the end of 《Laser Debut Day》, as far as I know, our beautiful Meng-jie is already talking about two other variety shows. It looks like we can’t say a lot right now, but everyone, relax, we will work hard to create more works to make sure the happiness doesn’t disappear. Also, even when we aren’t working on something, we still have our Weibos, right? We will always accompany everybody.

Lin Zhi: That’s right, just now our Meng-jie also nodded. So, everybody relax. We might be busy, but we will make time to interact with everyone, to learn more and share things.

Xia Yuyang: Mm! Then this is the last question. Last one! [可以阿姨] asks “I want to know what you four darlings do to shift your mood when you can’t deal with you problems?” Okay, captain first.

Gu Ziyao: Mm, play extreme sports. Exercise might make the body feel tired, but the heart will calm down. To me, it’s very effective. If I feel like I can’t deal with it, then I’ll make myself more tired, then realize that it wasn’t really a big deal. It’s just that.

Xia Yuyang: Mm! That’s our captain!

Lin Zhi: Mm, right, captain is great. But for me, my way of thinking might be similar to Buddhists’. For some reason, I don’t feel like I can’t deal with my problems. Maybe it’s because it’s very clear in my heart: no matter how bad of a situation, it will pass over eventually. So as long as you move forward, it will be okay. When you think it’s unbearable, you might only be one step away from success. You’ve almost done it, that’s why you think it’s hard. So, when it comes to this time, you have to remind yourself, “keep going! Just endure it for a little longer.” Xiao Qiao?

Xia Yuyang: Qiao-ge!

Qiao Shu: Hm… For me, I just… sleep. Turn down the temperature.

Laser: [laughs]

Lin Zhi: This is Xiao Qiao.

Qiao Shu: Of course, I feel like you can deal with specific things in specific ways. You don’t have to endure everything. Actually, letting go isn’t an easy thing either.

Xia Yuyang: Mm.

Qiao Shu: However, you have to know when you should give up.

Xia Yuyang: That’s right, I agree. I feel like when he does anything, he first… oh, not only him, I feel like when anyone does anything, they should start off by putting in all of their effort. If it’s something you really want to do, then you should use everything you can to do it to help you reach your goal. But if you put in your all and you still can’t do it, or you can’t achieve it through luck, you might not be exactly cut out to do this thing.

Gu Ziyao: Mm, right. Talent is very important, but you shouldn’t need to force yourself.

Lin Zhi: Actually, what Ziyao said is very correct. Perseverance is a very valuable characteristic, but knowing when to give up is one too. Everyone, please don’t be too harsh on yourself. Finding something that suits you is more important.

Qiao Shu: It’s like that. Mhm.

Xia Yuyang: I just saw on the board that this doesn’t pertain to studying. That isn’t okay.

Lin Zhi: [laughs] For studying...

Xia Yuyang: You have to go study! Everyone has to go study, everyone has to eat meals properly on time. Then, today’s Q&A will go up to here.

Lin Zhi: To here, to here.

66:15

Lin Zhi: Eh? Then, if the Q&A segment is over, then we might also have to end our broadcast.

Xia Yuyang: Oh…

Lin Zhi: Actually, strictly speaking, this is our first time doing an activity so close to everyone. Then, I want to ask everyone, did you have fun tonight?

Xia Yuyang: Was it fun? Was it fun? Was it fun?

Lin Zhi: [laughs] Actually, because of the internet issues at Xiaobailou, I feel like not everyone has had enough. But, I hope everyone…

Qiao Shu: We will bring it up with Meng-jie.

Lin Zhi: Mm, Meng-jie will probably understand.

Xia Yuyang: We will schedule our second one ASAP! We will tell Meng-jie ASAP!

Gu Ziyao: So we will set up our second round ASAP.

Lin Zhi: Oh, I see everyone’s messaging that they had fun!

Qiao Shu: As long as everyone’s happy, then that’s good.

Xia Yuyang: Ah, if everyone’s happy then that’s good!

Lin Zhi: Thank you everyone!

Xia Yuyang: Actually, choosing to do this broadcast on our hundredth day of our debut was a little bit selfish on our part. We hoped that on this important day, we could give everyone a good time. For example, today’s the hundredth day of our debut, and 7/2 was the first day of 《Laser Debut Day》, which was also the first time we properly appeared in front of everyone.

Qiao Shu: Mm, I still remember the first day our group was formed, and our chance meeting with captain and Lin in a different area, and our awkward interactions.

Xia Yuyang: What’s embarrassing about that? That day was just them moving into Xiaobailou, joining us. It’s not really a day worth remembering, right? But of course, there’s another important day, captain you tell us what it is!

Gu Ziyao: 7/12, debut day.

Lin Zhi: Mm, correct. And, 7/12 was also the day we released our first single, 《Focus On You》.

Xia Yuyang: Mm! Later on, we all agreed on our cheer colors, our group Weibo layout, the four of our Weibo layouts, our group getting one million clicks, two million, three million, now, it’s up to four million!

Gu Ziyao: In the future, there will be five million, six million.

Lin Zhi: Mm! That’s right. Of course, there’s also our second single, third single, fourth single-

Qiao Shu: Will there be a fifth one?

Xia Yuyang: Ge, you spoiled it!

Lin Zhi: Ah?

Qiao Shu / Lin Zhi: [laughs]

Gu Ziyao: It’s nothing, I think we can say it. Right. In the future, we will continue to periodically release songs. Actually, our fifth and sixth songs are already in production, so everyone can start looking forward to it.

Lin Zhi: Yes. Then, when the time comes, we hope that everyone will be able to enjoy it and support it.

Xia Yuyang: Since everyone’s said it already, then can I talk about the fourth song? Anyway it’ll be released soon.

Lin Zhi: Oh? [laughs]

Xia Yuyang: About the new song… Xiao Qiao-ge should talk about it! Xiao Qiao-ge!

Qiao Shu: Are we allowed to talk about it?

Gu Ziyao: Say it, don’t worry.

Qiao Shu: Then I’m going to say it. The fourth song is… mm… a song that I really wanted to make. It’s the attitude I wanted to express through music.

Lin Zhi: Eh? Then, what kind of genre is it?

Qiao Shu: About the genre… it will be different from all of the ones that everyone heard before. We will continue to try new things, using music to set unlimited possibilities.

Xia Yuyang: Mm. Then, what kind of story will this song make? Everyone can start guessing.

Lin Zhi: Mm! Hope everyone looks forward to it! Then, since we’ve talked about songs, why don’t we talk about something else?

Xia Yuyang: Hm?

Lin Zhi: [laughs] Because many people are asking, after 《Laser Debut Day》finishes, what other works will we make? Then, Ziyao, why don’t you talk about it?

Gu Ziyao: Okay. 《Laser Debut Day》is our first variety show, but it definitely will not be our last. Just like participating in 《San Fen Xing Ye》, if there are chances in the future, we will continue to participate in variety shows, in-person activities, endorsements, or acting as our characters. There is a possibility for all of these.

Xia Yuyang: Unlimited possibilities~ Actually, we will be going to a new variety show. We already said that earlier, so people can start looking forward to it! There should be an official announcement very soon.

Qiao Shu: That’s right. I’m looking forward to the new variety show’s theme.

Lin Zhi: Right. However, for now, let’s stop here. For other things, we can wait until the show starts airing.

Xia Yuyang: Aiya, okay!

70:00

Xia Yuyang: Then we will do one last act of welfare. We will randomly choose four new and lucky people from the public board.

Lin Zhi: [laughs]

Xia Yuyang: We will send them official merchandise.

Lin Zhi: Oh?

Xia Yuyang: The important part is coming, the important part is coming!

Lin Zhi: Oh? What is it?

Xia Yuyang: The kind with our signatures~ we physically signed these~ start spamming on the public board!

Lin Zhi: Then can they message anything? Oh, the staff member nodded.

Gu Ziyao: Ok.

Lin Zhi: Then…

Xia Yuyang: Okay~

Gu Ziyao: Let’s each choose one then.

Lin Zhi: Okay! Then, Yangyang goes first?

Xia Yuyang: Mhm?

Qiao Shu: Wow.

Xia Yuyang: Okay, I’m coming. [makes choosing noise]

Lin Zhi: Oh?

Xia Yuyang: Aiyo? This person is called classmate [利于又]. Congratulations! You won a gift with our signatures.

Lin Zhi: Then, I’ll choose one next? Oh, please wait a second, our staff member is getting on. Mm, to verify and tidy up. We’ll wait for a second. Everyone worked hard today, I feel like everyone is very tired. Okay, then, I’ll choose next. 3, 2, 1, stop! Oh, this person is called [时序掉线中]! [laughs]

Xia Yuyang: Congratulations!

Lin Zhi: Congratulations~

Gu Ziyao: Congratulations, congratulations. Okay, then I will raffle the third winner. 3, 2, 1. [却远]?

Lin Zhi: Oh? This kind of word is pretty uncommon. [laughs]

Xia Yuyang: Congratulations!

Qiao Shu: Congratulations!

Lin Zhi: Congratulations, congratulations!

Xia Yuyang: The last winner~

Qiao Shu: Okay, the last one~

Lin Zhi: Xiao Qiao.

Qiao Shu: Mm. Let me see… Which one… oop, open… please wait a second. It got blocked.

Xia Yuyang: Who?

Qiao Shu: Just… the one at the top.

Xia Yuyang: Oh right.

Qiao Shu / Xia Yuyang: [四月月]

Xia Yuyang: Okay!

Qiao Shu: Okay. [四月月], congratulations.

Gu Ziyao: Congratulations to the four winners.

Xia Yuyang: Thank you, official blog. Thank you~

Lin Zhi: Thank you, thank you~ Then, let’s have our staff member check for a second. [laughs] Then, today’s broadcast will go offline soon. We’re finished~

Xia Yuyang: Mm.

Lin Zhi: At the end of the broadcast, I hope everyone will continue to support us. Right now we’re trending, as the broadcast comes to a close. #Laser debut day.

Xia Yuyang: Mm.

Lin Zhi: Please share your thoughts with us! Thank you everyone!

Xia Yuyang: Thank you~

Qiao Shu: At the same time, we hope everyone continues to support us on our Laser Weibo, Laser Official, and our four Weibos, which is Laser plus our names.

Lin Zhi: Mm.

Qiao Shu: Public events and bits of our lives will be continuously shared with everyone.

Xia Yuyang: That’s right! Don’t forget that we have already released three songs, 《Focus on You》, 《May We Still Have Courage》, 《The Seduction of Suspect A》, MVs and song specials are all on Maoer FM, where you can download and listen for free. Everyone hurry up and go!

Gu Ziyao: Regarding everyone’s hopes for a live event, because we did not have enough time and preparation today, we couldn’t appear. We are hoping to bring an actual live show to everyone on an actual stage, we hope everyone understands.

Qiao Shu: Mm. So, everyone, please be patient and wait some more.

Lin Zhi: Mm! I believe there will be an opportunity very soon for us to meet everyone.

Gu Ziyao: Thank you everyone for staying for an hour. We will see you next time. We are-

Laser: LASER!

Xia Yuyang: Bye bye~

Qiao Shu / Lin Zhi: Bye bye!

Gu Ziyao: Bye bye.

Qiao Shu: Bye bye~

Xia Yuyang: See you next time!

Xia Yuyang / Qiao Shu: Bye bye~

Lin Zhi: Bye bye!

Gu Ziyao: Bye bye.

Qiao Shu: Bye bye!

Lin Zhi: [laughs] Thanks for the hard work.

Laser: [singing along]

Gu Ziyao: Okay.

Xia Yuyang: Okay!

Lin Zhi: Okay. Meng-jie, Meng-jie.

Xia Yuyang: We’ve come back!

Lin Zhi: Can we fix Xiaobailou’s internet?

Xia Yuyang: You can~

Lin Zhi: Meng-jie!

Xia Yuyang: You can~

Qiao Shu: You can, you can.

Lin Zhi: Sorry for the inconvenience, Meng-jie.

Xia Yuyang: Don’t look so annoyed, Meng-jie. We want to talk to everyone~

Qiao Shu: Xia Yuyang cut down your favorite tree.

Xia Yuyang: That's not allowed~
