After rebirth, she first killed the book thief, and she was busy writing articles to save people

Jiang Baige was shocked. She didn't know that the words "alone" would make Chen Xi think of "being abandoned".

She seemed to suddenly understand why Jingchai didn't dare to tell Chen Xi the truth.

But if she really knew that Chen Xi was such a person who was afraid of being abandoned by family and friends, why did she take the first wrong step?

It doesn’t make sense… unless you “can’t help yourself”, it doesn’t make sense.

But Jiang Baige was unwilling to believe it because of this reason.

"Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi..."

Jiang Baige reached out and grabbed Chen Xi.

After Chen Xi calmed down a little, she said apologetically: "I... didn't know I would make you so angry."

"Did I scare you?" Chen Xi suddenly showed a strange smile, "But if I were a normal person, my father would have abandoned me long ago."

"what?"

Chen Xi shook his head, as if he felt that he had said too much today: "Nothing. I heard that this villa has a big hot spring. Would you like to accompany me to take a bath?"

Jiang Baige didn't bring a swimsuit, but still decided to go for a walk with Chen Xi.

Unexpectedly, just as she reached the hot spring pool, Jiang Baige bumped into Jingchai who was walking hurriedly.

"Ouch."

Jiang Baige rubbed his forehead - Jingchai bumped into him sideways and was taller than Jiang Baige, so his elbow just hit Jiang Baige's shoulder.

She looked up and found that Jingchai looked flustered and had buttoned one of his shirts incorrectly.

When Jingchai saw Jiang Baige, her first reaction was to look around her: "Didn't Xiaoxi go to look for you?"

"She went to change her clothes." Jiang Baige pulled Jingchai aside. The tall rockery blocked the two of them. "Senior Sister, your clothes..."

Jiang Baige pointed at Jingchai's collar. Jingchai lowered his head and hurriedly unbuttoned and buttoned his clothes.

"Can we not..."

Before he could finish his words, the sound of Chen Xi looking for someone came from not far away.

Jiang Baige shook Jingchai's hand and said, "I know. I won't tell anyone. I'll come find you later, okay?"

"In the evening... there will be a bonfire party."

Jiang Baige understood that Jingchai was inconvenient.

She nodded, walked out of the rockery, came lightly behind Chen Xi, and patted her shoulder.

After that, Jiang Baige never saw Jingchai again.

It was not until the long and boring opening speech of the bonfire party in the evening ended and everyone dispersed to find food or friends to play with that Jiang Baige used the excuse of getting some juice to walk away from Shi Xin.

Fortunately, she soon found Jingchai far away from Chen Dongguo.

How strange...none of this makes any sense.

If Jingchai really loved Chen Dongguo so much that he would rather betray his childhood friend to be with her, why did he deliberately avoid her when he finally had the chance to be alone with her?

This is obviously not the case when choosing a room to stay in.

I guess even Shi Xin thought that Jing Chai and Chen Xi lived next door to Chen Dongguo so that it would be convenient for Jing Chai to have a tryst with Chen Dongguo after Chen Xi fell asleep?

And when she saw Jingchai this afternoon, he was disheveled and was hiding from Chen Xi...

In Jiang Baige's mind, tens of thousands of conflicting clues intertwined with each other, and finally pointed to Jingchai himself.

She is wrapped in a huge secret.

Jiang Baige walked through the crowd to her side, but only saw her tired face illuminated by the yellow light.

"Senior, why are you here alone?"

Before Jiang Baige's hand touched the thorn hairpin, her body had already shrank inward.

When he saw that the person coming was Jiang Baige, he relaxed a little, but still felt uncomfortable.

"I'm fine." She took a sip of orange juice. "Thank you for this afternoon."

"It's just a piece of cake." Jiang Baige smiled and took Jingchai's arm, and walked to a place with fewer people. "Can you tell me what happened this afternoon?"

Jingchai's hands trembled and he shook his head: "Sorry..."

"Don't say that." Jiang Baige laughed heartlessly, "It's me, I have another question for you, Senior."

"I don't deserve your advice...you go ahead."

"Just now when we were having dinner, I heard Teacher Chen praise you as a rising star in the novel world..." Jiang Baige blinked her eyes, "You should have heard that I am also writing a novel, so I want to ask you, do you also write things that happen in your life into your novels?"

"It will have some shadows. However, if it is exactly the same, it won't be called literary creation... But, I heard that you write online articles, which are hundreds of thousands of words. I, who write short and medium-length articles, really envy them."

"Everyone says that our online articles are shoddy... But the threshold for publishing in magazines is too high, and the income is not high, so I can be considered to have taken a shortcut."

I don’t know what nerve these words touched in Jingchai, but her face seemed to be even paler than before.

But soon, she returned to normal: "I think serious literature and paper magazines don't have to be so high and mighty... To readers, works may be of different quality and likes and dislikes, but to the writers themselves, they are all written with great effort and their own hard work, and they are treasured like their own children..."

"But your novel must be outstanding, otherwise Teacher Chen would not have accepted you as his student."

Jiang Baige took out a photo from her mobile phone.

The photo was of a page from a magazine with two big words on it: "Paradise", and the signature next to it was Jingchai.

That was a short story that Jingchai published in a magazine not long ago.

"Just reading the words, I feel as if my body is being pressed under water and I can't breathe, and I'm sinking deeper and deeper..."

Although Jingchai's novel is titled "Paradise", it actually tells an extremely painful story.

The story is told in flashback. When the heroine was 27 years old, she recalled that 20 years ago, she was entrusted to a neighbor by her busy parents. Because the neighbor was a teacher, her parents were not prepared at all, which gave the beastly teacher an opportunity to take advantage of her...

However, the lack of sex education and the premature emergence of the concept of chastity forced her to construct a "paradise" of "being loved" for her soul in order to barely survive.

This magazine is placed on the magazine rack in the lobby of the resort - the magazine is sponsored by Chen Dongguo, and the owner of the resort is his friend.

Jiang Baige casually flipped to this story and was deeply attracted after reading almost twenty words.

Jingchai's writing is not only gorgeous, as if it were a skilled craftsman playing with words, but it can also create an immersive atmosphere, easily bringing readers into the protagonist's joys and sorrows.

"No matter what your relationship with Teacher Chen is, I agree with what he said, 'You are a literary genius girl', and there is no need to add the word 'girl'..."

Jingchai suddenly raised her head and grabbed Jiang Baige's arm tightly: "What did you say? What do you mean by 'no matter what the relationship between me and Teacher Chen is'? You... do you know something? Then... then Xiaoxi..."
