Chapter 56
Traveling is always exhausting, so Yao Yingmo simply turned off his phone before going to bed and slept until noon the next day.
After simply packing herself and the luggage that she hadn't packed due to laziness last night, she sat down in front of the computer and prepared to start work.
She opened her mailbox and found that she had not received any revision suggestions at all.
Li Yicheng is usually very punctual at work. If she says she will start revising today, she will definitely receive the document this morning.
Something's not right. I'd better give it a call and ask.
Yao Yingmo was shocked to realize that her cell phone had not been turned on since she got up. Her heart skipped a beat and the strange feeling became stronger.
The tension reached its peak when I saw countless missed calls on my phone.
Li Yicheng's call was relatively normal, and Shi Xuze's call had also become common recently, but a call from the editor-in-chief was definitely abnormal.
Yao Yingmo immediately realized that something had happened.
Yao Yingmo replied to Li Yicheng first.
"Something big has happened! Now, immediately, go to Weibo!"
Such a familiar sentence, I seem to have heard it not long ago.
Weibo again. Whenever I hear those two words, it's not a good thing.
With her brows furrowed, Yao Yingmo opened Weibo from the web version. After a pause of half a minute, she saw her pen name on the trending search.
When I clicked on it, I found that the plot was really familiar.
Outside a residential building, a man and a woman are telling stories by looking at pictures.
But this time, the protagonists in the photo became her and Zhou Yu, and the scenes were richer, including the airport and the small restaurant.
Yao Yingmo recalled the feeling of being watched from time to time during this trip back to his hometown, the intermittent feeling of being watched, and the uneasiness that could never be suppressed.
It turns out that they are not just illusions.
Now she just wanted to go back to two days ago, shake her head to see if it was wet, and ask herself why she was so careless and why she was not alert at all.
Shi Xuze's matter had just ended, and Grandma Yang had just reminded her that something was wrong with Zhou's father. She had even seen Zhou's father appear with her own eyes.
Why would she regard her keen sixth sense as an illusion?
This time she also has a share of responsibility.
Yao Yingmo took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and continued reading.
"Isn't Zhao He with Hu Guang? Why is the person next to him different?"
"Who is this handsome boy? I need his contact information."
"I didn't expect Zhao He to be this kind of person, a two-timing scumbag."
"But Zhaohe and Huguang were just everyone's guesses. Maybe they weren't even together at all."
"Even if you're not together, you can't be intimate with two people at the same time."
"Am I the only one who feels envious? A handsome guy on the left, a little puppy on the right, she's a winner in life."
"Alumni, just a quick note. This handsome guy is from our school. He's usually very low-key. If it weren't for these photos, I wouldn't even know what he looks like."
"This school name... those who can get in are not ordinary people. Zhaohe must be eating too well."
"An alumnus said timidly that Zhaohe also graduated from this school, and it's a love story between a senior and a junior."
"As a fan of Hu Guang, I really feel sorry for him. He's been chasing his idol for so many years and is finally about to get his wish, but Zhao He is trying to hook up with two people at the same time. It's really too much."
"What should I do? I actually think this handsome boy is the wife. What should we do with Hu Guang?"
"Analytically speaking, Zhao He only brought the handsome boy with him on his trip, not Hu Guang. Furthermore, the place they went to looked like an ordinary residential building. My blind guess is that Zhao He and the handsome boy returned to their hometown. This shows that their relationship started earlier, and the handsome boy is the legal wife."
"No, since you already have a wife, why would you bother with us Hu Guang?"
"Zhao He is so unworthy of the pure love in her novel. Didn't she feel guilty when she wrote it herself?"
"As expected, the work and the person should be separated."
"If you ask me, the author shouldn't show his face. Look how it's already collapsed in just a few days."
Yao Yingmo slowly exhaled, raised his hand to cover his eyes with the back of his hand, and leaned back on the sofa.
Before the call was hung up, Li Yicheng's voice came again, "Have you finished reading it?"
Yao Yingmo hummed softly.
Li Yicheng: "What do you think now?"
Yao Yingmo tapped her forehead with her knuckles. She did have an idea.
"It's not difficult to clarify this matter," she said.
She and Zhou Yu call each other brother and sister, and their neighbors from their hometown and even the lawyer who had helped them handle matters in the past can testify to this.
The photo at the airport was even simpler. Shi Xuze was standing next to them, but he was cropped out. This only required Shi Xuze to speak.
"I need to discuss this with Xiaoyu first. I also need to contact Shi Xuze first. I can clarify things once more when the time comes."
What she was actually worried about was Zhou Yu. He was exposed to the public because of this incident. Even if it was clarified, he could not go back to his previous quiet life. His every move would be watched by others, and he would be magnified and scrutinized as her younger brother.
His space for social anxiety will be deprived.
"I have some guesses about who's behind this, but Xiaoyu needs to investigate."
Since the matter involves Zhou's father, Zhou Yu will definitely want to get involved.
"As long as you have a plan in mind," Li Yicheng felt relieved after hearing Yao Yingmo's organized plan. "I'll first contact the editor-in-chief and our public relations department to ensure that we follow up immediately with public opinion monitoring after you post your blog. I can't help with Xiaoyu and Huguang, so you'll have to contact them yourself."
"I know."
Li Yicheng asked cautiously, "He He, would Teacher Hu Guang mind this?"
Yao Yingmo was silent.
Based on her understanding of Shi Xuze's character, he probably wouldn't mind, but when she thought of the countless missed calls she had just seen, she became a little uncertain.
"He He, if he minds, just reject him."
Yao Yingmo: "These two things cannot be confused, and I think he is not that kind of person."
The other end of the line was silent for a few seconds before another sigh came out, "He He, you're done."
Yao Yingmo:?
Yao Yingmo: "I need to start dealing with this. I'll hang up first."
Li Yicheng: "Waiting for your good news."
After ending the call with Li Yicheng, Yao Yingmo immediately called Zhou Yu, but no one answered.
Nowadays, he is either in class or in the laboratory, and his phone is mostly on silent.
Yao Yingmo had no choice but to call Shi Xuze first, "This is Zhaohe."
"Thank God, you finally answered the phone." Shi Xuze started with a long string of words, "You should know what happened online, right? Are you still at home now? If you are, can I pick you up and bring you to the studio? Our entire team is ready!"
Yao Yingmo was unable to digest his meaning for a moment and fell into a daze.
Shi Xuze didn't get a response, so he continued, "We've been worried all morning! I wanted to post directly on Weibo, but Sister Chang wouldn't let me. She said you probably had some considerations for not saying anything. If I post without thinking, I might say something I shouldn't and affect your plans."
"I'm sorry to have worried you." Yao Yingmo honestly admitted that she had just woken up and was only just learning about the situation, so she didn't have a particularly clear plan. "Regarding Xiaoyu's identity, I need to communicate with him first, but you can post whatever you want about the airport. Actually, I was asking you to post a clarification anyway."
Shi Xuze agreed immediately, "No problem at all! I can post it right now. I've already written the copy a long time ago."
His tone didn't sound like he was trying to help, but rather like he had received some kind of reward. Yao Yingmo's mood was also relaxed a little by him.
"Thank you." Yao Yingmo said sincerely, "I'm sorry for getting you into trouble this time."
Shi Xuze quickly denied it, "This isn't a burden. I'd be glad if I could help."
Yao Yingmo hummed softly, "Yes, you helped me a lot."
Shi Xuze chuckled twice and said enthusiastically, "Is there anything else I can help you with? I will definitely accomplish my mission."
Yao Yingmo didn't want to trouble Shi Xuze too much, and was about to refuse, but then something suddenly occurred to him, "Well... I need to go to the university to find Xiaoyu."
Shi Xuze understood, "I'll drive you there in the studio car."
"Then...thank you."
A warm current flowed slowly, flowing through the blood vessels and nerves, flowing through the limbs, making Yao Yingmo breathe a long sigh of relief.
Shi Xuze not only helped a lot, but also gave her a sense of warmth of support from behind. Unlike the past few times when she had to stand in front of Zhou Yu, this time she had someone to talk to and rely on.
"I'm driving back now. Please contact Xiaoyu first."
"good."
Zhou Yu still couldn't be contacted, so Yao Yingmo had to find his roommate's phone number.
After adding their contact information, they had never spoken to each other. She didn't expect that the first call would bother them. It was very rude, but she had to do it. She would make up for it later.
"Excuse me, is my brother here?"
"He's been locked up in the lab since early morning, so he doesn't even know what's happening online."
After hearing his answer, Yao Yingmo realized that these children knew what had happened.
Come to think of it, it has become a hot topic. Even if the news is not known to everyone, at least 70% to 80% of people know it.
Only to hear another cautious question from the other end of the phone, "Sister Yao... do you need help?"
Yao Yingmo felt so relieved, and his voice softened. "Yes, could you please help me find Xiaoyu in the lab? I need to discuss this with him."
The other party agreed immediately: "Okay."
"Thanks."
Before hanging up, Yao Yingmo heard him say again, "Sister Yao...we all believe you. Almost none of my classmates believe that rumor either."
The boy's firm yet nervous words of comfort entered his ears, like a gust of wind in summer, making people feel relaxed and comfortable.
Yao Yingmo was really happy for Zhou Yu. His roommates were all very good people.
They are both very lucky and are surrounded by kindness.
"Thank you," Yao Yingmo said. "Please also keep an eye on Xiaoyu for me. This might make him a little emotional. Please tell him I'll be there soon. Whatever he wants to do, he should wait until I get there."
Yao Yingmo's tone was very serious, and the person on the other end of the phone also said seriously, "Okay."
