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

Jingchai's suicide note was written to Chen Xi, so simplified Chinese characters were used.

She knew that after her death, Chen Xi would come to help her pack up her belongings, and she also knew that Chen Xi was familiar with this notebook.

The suicide note was only one page long, and did not even contain any important content.

It didn't mention why she wanted to commit suicide, but just reminisced about her past with Chen Xi.

He didn't even mention her relationship with Chen Dongguo, perhaps because he didn't want to destroy the great father image in Chen Xi's mind.

The only sentence related to Chen Dongguo was an apology to Chen Xi - "Xiao Xi, I'm sorry for taking your father away without permission."

Jiang Baige didn't understand what he said.

What does "take him away" mean? It certainly doesn't mean to elope, so it can only mean to kill him, or die together with him...

It is consistent with her behavior in her previous life.

That's why Jiang Baige asked Chen Xi outside the ICU that day where she saved Jing Chai.

Almost as he guessed, Jingchai was indeed at Chen Xi and Chen Dongguo's home - maybe, she didn't want to commit suicide that day, but wanted to drag Chen Dongguo to die with her.

But this plan did not succeed, so it was Jingchai who was dying, and it was Chen Dongguo who was sitting and talking at the opening ceremony.

Now there are two mysteries that need to be solved.

First, why did Jingchai suddenly want to kill Chen Dongguo?

Second, why she failed to kill Chen Dongguo.

Jiang Baige closed the notebook, but did not put it back. Instead, she stuffed it into her bag.

She leaned over and whispered in Jingchai's ear: "I saw your suicide note."

Jingchai's fingers moved slightly, but Jiang Baige didn't notice. That night, Jingchai woke up.

Although Jingchai's health was getting better day by day, she was still unwilling to speak.

Chen Xi and Jiang Baige were a little worried, so they asked the doctor to give her a physical examination, but the results showed that her brain and vocal cords were not damaged, so physiological reasons were ruled out for the loss of voice.

Because Jingchai was sent to the hospital due to gas poisoning, Chen Xi has always said that Jingchai committed suicide - although she has not seen the suicide note left by Jingchai.

So the doctor implicitly reminded that perhaps Jingchai’s unwillingness to speak was caused by psychological factors.

They understood immediately, but if Jingchai was unwilling to speak, there was nothing they could do about it.

It has been almost a week since school started, and the admission list will be released soon.

Jiang Baige had little doubt that her name would appear on this list - her grades in her sophomore and junior years were better than in her previous life.

This means that once the list comes out, she will have to start preparing for submitting admission materials and reviewing for graduate school.

This is definitely not an easy task, and for this reason she has even stopped Linlang's commercial manuscripts.

Song Siwen was also as overwhelmed as she was - after a year of review, she had now entered a state of weakness. She had to cope with the intensive courses for the double degree, and also start reviewing the professional courses for the postgraduate entrance examination. She had not met Jiang Baige for some time.

So she must deal with the matter of the thorn hairpin as soon as possible.

The turning point came on the evening three days later.

Jiang Baige and Chen Xi were chatting and talking about their upcoming academic arrangements. When Jiang Baige mentioned that the places for guaranteed admission to graduate school would be announced soon and he didn't know whether Jingchai's health would improve by then, a sound of clearing a throat was heard from the bed next to him.

Jingchai touched his neck. His voice was a little hoarse because he hadn't spoken for a long time. "Xiaoxi, I want to eat Lin Ji's mung bean cakes and mung bean paste."

Lin Ji’s mung bean cakes and mung bean paste are time-honored brands in Lincheng. Not only tourists from other places come to taste them, but locals also like to eat them.

So the business hours are from ten in the morning to ten in the evening.

It is said that the big pot cooking mung bean paste in the kitchen would only stop after midnight, but white smoke would start to come out again before dawn.

But Lin’s is very far away from the hospital, almost across half the city.

Chen Xi looked at the time and felt a little embarrassed: "It's already seven o'clock..."

But when she saw Jingchai's expectant eyes, she still couldn't say no: "Okay, it's your fault that you are sick, the patient is the most important..." After saying that, she immediately stood up and walked out the door.

However, she did not leave the building, but went to find the doctor on duty to confirm whether Jingchai could eat mung bean products now.

Watching Chen Xi's back disappear from sight, Jiang Baige sat down beside Jing Chai's bed: "You have something to tell me, right?"

Jingchai nodded and stretched out her hand to get some water. Jiang Baige handed her the water, feeling a dull pain in her heart.

Although she could understand what Jingchai did, she still felt it was not worth it.

"Didn't we agree to stay out of the spotlight first and wait for your novel to be published... before we make a long-term plan?" Jiang Baige took the water cup and found that Jingchai's hands couldn't stop shaking. "Why did you suddenly..."

“It will not be published.”

"what?"

Jingchai's lips also trembled: "Go search... Chen Dongguo, new book..."

Jiang Baige immediately took out his mobile phone and searched for keywords according to Jingchai's instructions.

The press release that popped up made Jiang Baige's eyes go dark: "The Chinese version of "Lolita"? A love elegy for middle-aged men? A new work that is eye-catching? The meticulous psychological description is comparable to Nabokov's gorgeous brushwork..."

The new book is still on pre-sale and the publicity is already in place.

Obviously, the manuscript of this book has been submitted and entered the proofreading process. It is just waiting for the book number to be approved, and then it will be sent to print and distributed nationwide...

Jiang Baige glanced at the title of the book.

Although the words "tentative name" were written in small brackets next to it, Jiang Baige was very familiar with the four words "Lost Eden".

The new book signing event was because Jing Chai accidentally hit Chen Xi on the head, causing the other party to go blind. The "new book" was "Lost Eden".

"So... this book is..."

Jingchai forced out a smile that was uglier than crying: "You were right, Baige, he stole my manuscript, changed it, and published it as his own story..."

"So you want to die with him?"

When Jiang Baige asked this, Jing Chai knew it. Jiang Baige saw the suicide note she wrote in the notebook.

"Yes. But not only did he steal my story, but more importantly... he changed it beyond all recognition! He changed the story I wrote about a girl who loved literature and was seduced by her male Chinese teacher into a story about a talented middle-aged man who was seduced by a young girl and struggled with his mental journey!"

There were eight beds in the ward, with six people living in them. Four of them had gone out to eat and take a walk, and one was sleeping.

The man was snoring softly. The curtain beside Jingchai's bed had been drawn, so she could accuse him to her heart's content.

"Lolita... do they think this is a compliment? He turned my accusation of violence into his own defense and threw dirty water on me! He raped me and said I seduced him!"
