When Ming Shu went down, she realized that it was just a networking session for the writers. There were only drinks available.
What if the writers got hungry while they were conversing?
The organizer is not professional at all!
Ming Shu walked one round and got bored. She went down and wanted to buy some snacks.
However, Ming Shu forgot about the weather. Snow was falling. She wore a thin gown. She didn’t have the courage to go out.
In the end, Ming Shu ordered through a food delivery app and waited for the delivery man to send her her food.
As she sat in the main hall, she flipped through her phone and took a look at the Host’s accomplishments.
The book that she was writing now was called Your Starlight. It was a sci-fi novel. There were no other sci-fi novels in this world so that was why she got targeted by Lin Yuxin.
Ming Shu looked up the name that her roommate told her—Meteor Rain.
It was an author who had some recognition too.
She looked at the Meteor Rain’s main page. The last comment that Meteor Rain gave was on Lin Yuxin’s novel.
The title of the novel was similar to hers—Your Twilight
According to the reports of the Host’s readers, the title of this book was changed.
However, it was changed before Lin Yuxin targeted her so Ming Shu didn’t know what her motive for changing the name was.
Lin Yuxin worked hard to create a villain.
Ming Shu took her snacks and went up to her room.
…
“Wei Lan, are you all right?”
Ming Shu looked at the man who called her. There were many people in the gathering today but since this man knew her real name, he must know her personally.
Ming Shu recalled for a while.
Zhang Mu, the guru of the male-related novels. He had received an award together with the Host before and since they were in the same city, Zhang Mu would occasionally invite the Host out and have a meal with her. Their relationship was not bad.
“I’m fine.”
Zhang Mu was concerned. “What happened in the afternoon? When I came back, I heard that you fell into the swimming pool.”
Ming Shu found a place to sit down. “Someone pushed me.”
Zhang Mu frowed. “The author called Lin Yuxin?”
Ming Shu raised her eyebrows slightly. “Oh? What did you hear?”
The news about what happened in the afternoon must have spread. Lin Yuxin was a hypocrite after all.
How could she give up such a good chance?
“Someone said that you had a quarrel with her because of what happened on the internet last time. When she wanted to explain to you, you didn’t want to listen to her and stepped on air.”
“Do you believe her?”
Zhang Mu shook his head. “We have been friends for so many years. I believe you. Why did she push you?”
Ming Shu pondered it for a while. She replied seriously, “She must be jealous of my talent and beauty.”
“Pfft.” Zhang Mu laughed. “I didn’t realize that you’re so funny.”
“I’m not joking.” I thought about the reason seriously.
“What do you plan to do?”
“I will talk about it later.” How should I beat her up?
Zhang Mu couldn’t say much since Ming Shu had already expressed her attitude toward the matter. He changed the topic. “So you know that Ice Lake Snow is here too? Didn’t you want his autograph last time?”
Ice Lake Snow?
He seemed to be the Host’s idol…
“Oh.” Can a signature be eaten?
“Huh? Did you change your idol?” Zhang Mu said, “Didn’t you love him before?”
Ming Shu patted her snacks. “This is my idol now.”
Zhang Mu looked at the brand ambassador on the snacks packet. His mouth corners twitched. “You should at least look at the face properly. I saw Ice Lake Snow. He is very handsome.”
Ming Shu: “…”
“Senior Wei Ran.”
A delicate voice interrupted them.
Zhang Mu and Ming Shu looked over.
A sweet-looking lady was standing at the side with an anxious look on her face.
There was another lady wearing a long dress beside her. This lady looked normal.
The sweet-looking girl grasped her hands. “Senior Wei Ran, are you all right? I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have quarreled with you in the afternoon. You fell into the swimming pool because of me…”
This girl was Lin Yuxin. The girl in the long dress should be Meteor Rain.
Ming Shu stopped her. “Are you really sorry?”
Lin Yuxin was stunned. However, she quickly lowered her head and nodded apologetically. “Yes, I’m sorry.”
She looked as though Ming Shu was bullying her.
Ming Shu gave an evil smile. “If you’re really sorry, you can jump into the swimming pool now.”
Lin Yuxin looked up in disbelief.
Meteor Rain was furious. “Senior Wei Ran, honestly, this issue had nothing to do with Yuxin. Do you think that she is really in the wrong just because she apologized to you?”
Ming Shu replied, “She is in the wrong. That is a fact.”
Meteor Rain was so angry she smiled. “You fell into the pool yourself. Why is it Yuxin’s fault? Even if we call you our senior, you can’t bully us like this!”
Meteor Rain spoke loudly so people started gathering around them.
“What happened?”
“I don’t know… someone is being bullied?”
“Isn’t that Wei Ran?”
“She fell into the pool today. That girl seemed to be apologizing to her. She must be making things difficult for the lady…”
Lin Yuxin smiled secretly when she heard the discussions around her.
She opened her mouth. “If Senior Wei Ran… can feel better, I will jump.”
“Yuxin!” Meteor Rain was angry at Yuxin. “She is bullying you. You didn’t push her.”
Lin Yuxin bit her lip. “It’s fine. I don’t mind as long as Senior Wei Ran is happy.”
“Go on then,” Ming Shu said, “you must do what you say.”
Although it was winter, the swimming pool was heated so it was not cold. The Host got sick because she couldn’t swim.
“Wei Ran.” Someone walked out of the crowd. “You fell down accidentally yourself. How can you blame other people?”
Ming Shu placed her hand on her chin and smiled gently at the crowd. “Since it is not her fault, why is she apologizing? She’s guilty.”
Everyone: “…”
“I didn’t push Senior into the pool. I just feel that I shouldn’t have argued with you.” Lin Yuxin shook her head and waved her hands. “If you think that I caused you to fall into the pool, I will jump in. Thank you everyone for speaking up for me.”
Lin Yuxin didn’t move even though she said that she would jump into the pool.
“Wei Ran, forget about it. She didn’t do anything wrong.”
“We are all in the same industry. Don’t make things difficult for everyone. We will see each other often.”
These people spoke tactfully. She was a guru after all.
However, most of the people that spoke were males. The females just gathered around them silently.
Ming Shu smiled as she ate her snacks. When the people finished talking, she looked at Lin Yuxin. “Are you still not going? Do you want me to find a palanquin and carry you over?”
Lin Yuxin: “…”
Lin Yuxin felt that Ming Shu would not be too harsh on her since there were so many people around. She didn’t expect her to still make her jump.
