After three months.

There is only one week left until this year's online writing competition, and sufficient warm-up has been done on Weibo.

Among the contestants, Zou Yanzhi and Li Yan were the most popular, as expected. Everyone was wondering whether one was a former great author, and his strength after "coming back" after disappearing for more than a year had improved or declined sharply.

The other is a new platinum star who has only emerged in the past two years. Many people say they are optimistic about Li Yan and look forward to his works.

...Some time ago, after Li Yan got the manuscript that he thought was Zou Yanzhi's entry, he worked almost day and night to finish it and had no time to bother Si Mo.

The last week should have been the most stressful time, as the writers were busy polishing and refining their works, but Li Yan was unusually idle.

The moment Si Mo received his message, he knew that Li Yan probably thought he was safe and that he would be able to take revenge on Zou Yanzhi soon.

"Editor, I missed you so much after not seeing you for a few months. Are you and him okay? Have they broken up?"

"Do you have time today? How about coming out for dinner?"

Li Yan was in a good mood today. He opened the screen and bombarded Si Mo with messages. It was not enough. Just as he was about to call him, the message notification tone of his mobile phone rang:

[Delicious prey (note): Thank you for your concern, we are fine, sorry to disappoint you.]

[Delicious prey: No need to eat, I have an appointment.]

Li Yan asked, "Who is it?"

He originally thought that Si Mo would say it was Zou Yanzhi, or simply not reply to him. He never expected that after a while, the other party would send him two photos.

Li Yan clicked it and enlarged the people around Si Mo in disbelief.

Chang Ruxin? ? !

When did he come back?! I didn't even receive any news.

During that time, he only knew that Chang Ruxin had gone abroad for a trip, but he didn't know the exact address. It seemed as if there was some mysterious force preventing him from investigating.

In the past few months, he didn't know if his hatred for Chang Ruxin had lessened. He just wanted to find Chang Ruxin, and then...

Then what to do, beat him up, scold him, or cut off his tongue to prevent him from saying anything wrong again? ?

Li Yan's body trembled slightly. He clenched his wrist, managed to calm down, and typed:

"When did you two become so familiar with each other? You can even have dinner together. I remember that he only met you once at my house last time."

"Also, why can't I get through to him on the phone? Did he change his number?"

There were so many questions about Chang Ruxin that Li Yan wanted to ask them all at once, but that would seem like he cared a lot about this person.

Even he himself did not realize how much resentment and jealousy were contained in those words he said.

Moreover, Li Yan guessed that Si Mo would not answer honestly.

Sure enough, he sent out a lot of messages in a panic, but Si Mo just replied coldly: "You don't need to worry about whether we are familiar with each other. Mr. Li, just prepare your work for seven days. I look forward to a surprise."

I don’t know why, it’s clearly black words on a white background, but the word "surprise" is so bright red and eye-catching that Li Yan was suddenly stunned.

Did Si Mo already know something?

impossible……

He tried to comfort himself in his heart, but he couldn't calm his restless heart. Only after he solved his smoking addiction did he feel better.

Li Yan thought, could it be that during that time, he was looking for Chang Ruxin like crazy but couldn't find her, could it be Si Mo who did it behind the scenes? ?

Has Chang Ruxin already sided with Si Mo and Zou Yanzhi?

So was this competition a setup set up by these three people for him, just waiting for him to jump in?

What the hell did that surprise mean!

Because of a photo, Li Yan saw a face he hadn't seen for a long time, and he once again experienced the feeling of brain overload and explosion a few months ago.

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation.

Welcome back. "

After taking the photo, Si Mo put down his phone and gave Chang Ruxin a sincere smile, "A welcome gift for you."

He took up the gift box from under the table. Chang Ruxin obviously didn't expect Si Mo to give him a gift. In addition to shock, his face also showed some surprise and guilt: "Well... thank you, but I'm sorry, I... forgot to bring you some local specialties."

"It's okay." Si Mo smiled and blinked gently: "I heard that you returned part of the money to Li Yan, and sold the house?"

Chang Ruxin was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Then where do you live?"

“…I’m looking at it now and plan to rent another one nearby.”

He had been with Li Yan for so many years, so he deserved the huge breakup fee.

But Chang Ruxin couldn't accept it calmly. The look in Li Yan's eyes and the cold tone when he last looked at him a few months ago were still vivid in his mind. He felt ashamed every time he thought about it, and the flames were about to melt all the bones and blood in his body.

Since he chose to break up completely, he didn't want to have any entanglement with him anymore, including financial ones.

"Let me help you." said Si Mo.

"Ah?" The boy raised his head, a flash of surprise in his eyes, and then waved his hand to refuse without thinking: "No..."

What is his relationship with Si Mo? Although this person has always been gentle to him and helped him avoid Li Yan, it is precisely because of this that Si Mo is a good person and he cannot keep picking on him. Chang Ruxin also felt guilty.

Of course, he didn't think that Si Mo might be flirting with him, because Chang Ruxin knew that he had a girlfriend.

So those fox eyes that are always full of affection must be natural.

There is a saying that even a scumbag top is affectionate towards his boyfriend? No, no, no, Chang Ruxin shook her head again. She only dared to think in her heart that Si Mo must be very good to her boyfriend in private. He must be a gentle and good old top.

When a boy concentrates, he accidentally expresses his inner thoughts. Si Mo quietly watched him shake his head, nod, and smile mysteriously for no apparent reason. Suddenly, he couldn't help wanting to laugh.

"Ahem..." He tapped the table with his fingers and tried to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth: "Don't be polite to me. Of course, I don't mean to give you the house for free."

He knew Chang Ruxin's character. If he gave him too much directly, he might not be able to bear it and would feel guilty.

"Just to thank you for your willingness to help me, I can introduce you to my friend who works in the real estate company.

Ask him to find you a satisfactory house at a reasonable price.”

After hearing the explanation, Chang Ruxin realized that she had misunderstood, and her face immediately turned red: "Oh, so that's it. Thank you then."

"But I don't think I helped you at all." Chang Ruxin lowered his eyelids. Si Mo's kindness made him feel embarrassed and ashamed. "At least, I still didn't agree to accuse him of plagiarism."

"How could I not help?" Si Mo shook his head and said softly, "You are willing to lend me a name and even let Li Yan misunderstand you. You also cooperated with the photo matter just now. This is enough for me."

...After saying this, Si Mo felt a surge of guilt for no reason.

Now he thinks of himself as a good person. If Chang Ruxin knew that he was actually using him... she probably wouldn't think so.

So he can bear any good thing, and all he can do is try his best to protect him and prevent Li Yan from hurting him again.

Chang Ruxin was confused by what he heard, but since Si Mo said so, he just smiled.

After dinner, Si Mo personally watched him get into a taxi before leaving.

However, no one expected that Li Yan actually figured out the address based on the scant information in the photo. He was watching them in the car outside while they were eating at the restaurant, and then followed them all the way...

He turned the steering wheel fiercely, his bloodshot eyes always following the car in front - or rather, the person in the car.
