Reborn on the Happy Hall + Spoiler

Zhao Xin: "I know."

Xu Yihan: "Then..."

"That's it," Zhao Xin said, "Leave them alone and let them talk."

"Are you sure?" Xu Yihan was surprised, "Someone is already picking up the skin now, and they have found out the names of me and Xu Yize. If you continue like this... maybe you can really find out something about you."

"It's okay, I know what's on my mind."

"...That's fine," Xu Yihan had no choice but to say, "If you need anything, please contact me."

After hanging up Xu Yihan's phone call, Zhao Xin searched for his pseudonym "Donaldson" on Weibo again. As he expected, the real-time Weibo that he searched were all discussions about those revelations.

@费小韵: Emmmmm why do I think what Siam said is true? Since she has revealed such a big story about Donaldson, she must be confident enough to dare to say it, right?Otherwise, wouldn't he be slapped in the face?

@leofurrrrre: Oh, don't you Donaldson have always followed the high-level human design, isn't this human design collapsed?It turned out to be a well-connected household, no wonder so many people chastised him, maybe he was hired as a high-level sailor?

@tomato油是我: Weakly say a word, do you remember that when Donaldson’s family first started tearing up canned octopus for plagiarism, a person named Dongbian Riying broke the news that "The Man Upstairs" was not written by Donaldson alone... Fuck, suddenly I feel that Donaldson is in deep water?I used to think that he is the kind of author who devotes himself to writing articles and does not mix circles. I come to TT (I didn’t say that it’s bad to mix circles)

@胡草: If Donaldson is really a so-called relational household, it would disappoint me... I really really hate this kind of people who bully others with their privileges... Sigh.

Zhao Xin quit Weibo.

The reason why Xu Yihan was asked to leave this matter alone was because he already had a rough answer in his heart.

Being able to know exactly that he is Lu Weifu means that this person is likely to work in Haosheng or Shenlan; being able to notice that both Haosheng and Shenlan were acquired by the Xu Group shows that this person has enough understanding of the two companies; the most important , this person also knows that his family has a good relationship with the Xu family - it means that this person knows a lot about him.

There are very few people who meet these conditions at the same time, and Xu Yize and Xu Yihan ruled it out—no matter how much they try to hype up, they won’t be able to move the Xu Group out—then who else?

Zhao Xin squeezed his thin calf.

There is one more person who meets these conditions.

Long Li.

Long Li, the deputy head of the Danmei group of Weilan Literature, has worked in Weilan for four years.And four years ago, she was the president of Donaldson's support club.Also four years ago, in order to help Donaldson vent her anger, she sent Liu Yusheng's continuation to his school.

Opening WeChat, you can also find the chat records of Zhao Xin and Long Li.When Canned Hairtail's new work "President I'm Really Wrong" was first revealed to be plagiarized, Long Li worriedly persuaded Zhao Xin: Don't respond to this matter, otherwise canned hairtail is in a hurry, and he will expose the past!

Zhao Xin knew that she was afraid, after all, it was a crime committed by the two of them together.They were both executioners in that one-sided hazing.

Zhao Xin sent Long Li a WeChat message, asking very straightforwardly: Why did you do this?

A few minutes later, Long Li replied: "Call me, my number is 153XXXXXXXX."

Zhao Xin dialed, and the first thing Long Li said after answering the phone was: "You didn't record it, did you?"

Zhao Xin was helpless: "No. Do you have to be so nervous?"

Long Li was silent.

Zhao Xin asked: "Why did you find someone to post those Weibo?"

But Long Li asked back: "Are you with the canned hairtail?"

"How is it possible?" Her question made Zhao Xin feel his chest was pressed hard, "How could he forgive me?"

"That's right, Donaldson, Daddy, I'm still willing to call you that..." Long Li's voice was low, as if she was tired, "I can't help it, I'm helping you get out of a precipice, you know? Go ahead Help canned octopus, those things between the two of you will be exposed sooner or later, and everyone will know that canned octopus dropped out of school because of you, what will you do?"

Long Li coughed, and continued: "You have been writing for so many years, and you have managed to accumulate your current popularity and reputation. But now the trend in the circle is to despise reporting - wasn't the canned hairtail reported back then? That incident You'd be damned if it got out. You see, just letting readers know you're connected - don't be angry when I say that - they're already angry. Man, I can understand your apology , I can understand your guilt towards him, but you also have to think about yourself? Are you willing to lose your popularity and reputation by this incident?"

Long Li's words were sincere, and she added a sentence at the end: "Even if you can bear it, I can't bear it either. You are such an excellent author. I don't want that incident back then... to affect your creation."

Zhao Xin listened to her words without any expression on his face.In the silence, there was a voice in his heart that sank into Hong Zhong.

The voice said: Here we come.

Yes, this moment is still here.

Zhao Xin said calmly: "Maybe what you said is indeed part of the reason for what you did...but definitely not all of it, right?"

Long Li: "What do you mean?"

"I did that thing with you back then. You said you would make Liu Yusheng pay the price, but I acquiesced, and then you sent that copy to his school. Later we all knew that he dropped out of school because of this, but neither of us Stand up and apologize to him—until now, you have not publicly and solemnly apologized to him. You are afraid that what happened back then will be exposed because you are afraid that you will be involved, right?"

Zhao Xin smiled briefly, as if mocking himself: "I'm not going to judge you, I'm not qualified, because I'm the one who's the culprit, and I'm the one who committed the most crimes. You were my fan at that time, and you were To protect me, I hurt him, in the final analysis, I acquiesced in allowing you to hurt him, and I gave you the right to hurt him as an idol...Is that right, the fault is on me in the final analysis."

The moment he finished speaking these words, Zhao Xin felt a sense of relief.The moment he learned that Liu Yusheng had dropped out of school four years ago, he already regretted it.He knew that he had done something wrong, but he took some cowardly luck: After all, Liu Yusheng is not completely innocent, right?Liu Yusheng didn't come to him, maybe he had another way out after dropping out of school?Maybe he felt he deserved it?

Today, when Zhao Xin thinks back to this kind of luck, he can finally face himself clearly and honestly: this is just self-deception, but knowing that he has caused irreparable harm to Liu Yusheng, so he deceived himself to deceive himself.

But the facts proved that Liu Yusheng still hadn't recovered from those injuries. Liu Yusheng had always been a victim, and he had been digesting those bitter fruits alone. He was not reconciled, so he picked up that character again—the disabled male protagonist.And Zhao Xin finally had to face his crimes. He could no longer deceive himself and others, and could no longer cowardly escape. He thought this time he would have to pay for what he did four years ago, but he was willing.

"Don't worry," Zhao Xin said to Long Li, "I won't involve you, all the faults are mine."

Long Li seemed to be stunned, and after a while she growled: "Why do you have to be so serious?! Canned octopus is already very popular! He is already as great as you! Does he need your apology?! Is it useful to apologize after four years?!"

Zhao Xin thought, he needs my apology, he never got out of that disaster - but these dragons won't understand.So he just said: "Yes, canned octopus is already very popular, and I can't make up for him at all, but I must... must face up to the mistakes I made, not only for him, but also for myself."

"Be realistic, okay? Haven't you already said a lot for him? Since you can't get him to go back to college four years ago, don't be so stubborn, okay? You see—during this period You've helped him enough."

Zhao Xin said, "Not enough."

Yes, not enough.Is it enough to give a reward?Is it enough to say "canned hairtail is not plagiarized"?Is it okay to do a counter-offer for him?Although these things he did helped Liu Yusheng, they had nothing to do with his mistakes.Admitting a mistake is one thing, making amends is another.He is not qualified to deny the harm he has done to Liu Yusheng just because he gave Liu Yusheng some compensation.

Long Li said dejectedly, "Donaldson, you really don't know what to do."

Zhao Xin smiled. He suddenly felt that he should thank Long Li. Without Long Li's revelation, he might not be so firm.

Zhao Xin replied seriously: "I just don't want to be cowardly anymore."

This moment has come, finally, Zhao Xin knows that he will confess his crimes frankly and thoroughly, even if he is reviled, despised, and criticized for it.
