If The Voice Has Memory Episode 9 Recap
> If The Voice Has Memory Recap
Six years ago, at a fan meeting for the renowned dubbing artist Mai Da, Liang Yichuan found himself in a chaotic situation. Mai Da’s unexpected absence angered the fans, who then turned on Liang Yichuan, mistaking him for a staff member and beating him. Fortunately, Yu Luxi, a fellow Mai Da enthusiast, quickly intervened, shouting about the police and helping him escape.
As they ran, Liang Yichuan recognized her name, asking if she was the same Yu Luxi who had added him on QQ years prior to learn dubbing. Before she could answer, the angry fans caught up, forcing them to split up and run. Liang Yichuan called out her name, but she was lost in the crowd. Six years later, at a dubbing forum, Liang Yichuan encountered Yu Luxi again in a coffee shop.
He surprised her by knowing she admired Mai Da, a detail she hadn't shared. He felt she looked familiar and asked if they had met before, but Yu Luxi didn't recall. After a brief conversation where Liang Yichuan, the head of Dragon Animation, suggested they visit his company, Yu Luxi had to leave to check into her hotel. Watching her walk away, Liang Yichuan inwardly resolved not to lose her again.
Later that evening, Yu Luxi joined Lin Nan at his hotel room for some wontons. While they were eating, the unlocked door swung open and a visibly drunk Liang Yiyi entered. Fearing Yiyi might try to set up another dinner with him and Liang Yichuan, Lin Nan quickly pulled Yu Luxi behind a curtain, urging her to remain silent. Yu Luxi, seeing Yiyi stumbling, wanted to help, but Lin Nan firmly kept her hidden.
Liang Yiyi, seeing movement behind the curtain, staggered over and embraced the fabric. Lin Nan emerged to distract her. In her drunken state, Liang Yiyi clung to Lin Nan and asked him to carry her. Yu Luxi used this opportunity to slip out of the room. Liang Yiyi then confessed her deep feelings for Lin Nan and asked if he liked her back.
Lin Nan, with unwavering clarity, told her he had always viewed her as a younger sister and never held romantic feelings for her. However, Liang Yiyi had already passed out by the time he finished speaking. Outside the room, Yu Luxi became concerned. She thought about why Lin Nan had been so anxious about Liang Yiyi seeing them together, and her mind raced with worries about Liang Yiyi being alone with Lin Nan.
She nervously returned to his door to check on the situation. A moment later, Lin Nan stepped out, explaining that Yiyi had fallen asleep and he was going to contact her brother, Liang Yichuan, to pick her up. Seeing his responsible actions, Yu Luxi's admiration for her "master" grew. Back in the room, a palpable awkwardness lingered between them. Later, Yu Luxi sent Lin Nan a "Good night" message with an emoji, leaving him pondering its meaning.
The following morning, before heading to the office, Lin Nan made a stop at Ningda University to gather some information. Coincidentally, Yu Luxi was there practicing her voice. Meanwhile, Liang Yichuan, who was also at Ningda to bring stomach-settling porridge to his sister, spotted Yu Luxi. Recognizing her as an alumna and a classmate of Lin Nan's, he seized the chance to chat with her and secure her WeChat contact, mentioning he'd like her to visit Dragon Animation.
As they spoke, Lin Nan watched them from a distance. He initially hid, but then reasoned, "I'm aboveboard. What am I afraid of?" and emerged, though he ultimately walked away without engaging them. Later, as Liang Yiyi was preparing to leave campus, she was accosted by a man who made an inappropriate request for an autograph on his bare chest. She shouted "Jerk!" and fled, accidentally bumping into a male student on a bicycle.
She asked him for help, claiming a "jerk" was nearby, but when the student asked where, she vaguely said he was gone. After some confused back-and-forth, with the student insisting on going to security and Yiyi retracting her claim, she eventually dismissed him as "insane" and left. Back at the company, Lin Nan was anxiously awaiting Yu Luxi's return. Just as he was about to inquire about her, she walked in.
To avoid an awkward interaction, Lin Nan quickly pretended to answer a phone call and walked away. Zhao Junran then sought out Lin Nan, limping and complaining about Zhou Na. He recounted his failed attempts to ask her out and his foolish move of claiming to have embarrassing photos of her from a drunken night. This backfired spectacularly: Zhou Na, unfazed, took his phone and deleted all his cherished, secretly taken photos of her.
She then gave him a swift kick for his troubles, causing his limp. Zhao Junran, usually aloof, confessed that he was now constantly thinking about Zhou Na, wanting to bring her food, and feeling restless when she wasn't in sight—feelings that resonated with Lin Nan.
Zhao Junran pressed Lin Nan, asking if he was in love, noting that men in love are glued to their phones, picking them up and putting them down, joyful when messages arrive and anxious when they don't. Lin Nan subtly nodded in agreement. Zhao Junran then playfully asked who Lin Nan's crush was. Later, Lin Nan observed Yu Luxi in the pantry, smiling widely at her phone.
Curious, he approached, just as Yu Luxi, looking at an anime costume on her phone and getting into character, tried to measure his waist for the outfit. Lin Nan, flustered and blushing, pushed her hands away, reminding her that such intimate behavior was inappropriate at the workplace. As he left, he caught a glimpse of Yu Luxi’s phone screen and recognized Liang Yichuan's avatar in her chat, confirming his suspicions and filling him with a familiar pang of jealousy.
