Lin Yuxin didnât look good. While Meteor Rain and Ming Shu were arguing, she ran toward the swimming pool.
âYuxin!â
Meteor Rain got a shock. She immediately ignored Ming Shu and chased after Lin Yuxin.
The male authors followed Meteor Rain.
The people at the swimming pool saw a bunch of people rushing over. The person in front was a lady who jumped into the swimming pool without any hesitation.
âYuxin!â
Meteor Rain shouted at the edge of the pool. Lin Yuxin flapped around in the swimming pool. She didnât seem to know how to swim, either.
The people in the pool saw that something was amiss so they wanted to come over and help.
However, one of the male authors was faster. He jumped in and pulled Lin Yuxin up.
âCough cough cough...â
âYuxin, Yuxin, are you all right?â Meteor Rain rushed over.
âCough, cough, cough...â Lin Yuxin coughed. She shook her head. âIâm fine.â Her face was pale.
âWei Ran is going overboard.â
âYes, she bullied someone just because she is more famous.â
âI never heard that she had such a personality...â
The discussions of the authors made Lin Yuxin smile. However, she quickly controlled her emotions and resumed her pitiful and frightened look.
âLittle cutie Lin.â Ming Shu had come over and was standing at the side. She was a distance away from the main crowd.
âSenior Wei Ran.â Lin Yuxin spoke in a soft voice. She didnât even dare to look at her.
Ming Shu took a few steps forward.
The male author who saved Lin Yuxin stopped her. âWei Ran, what do you want?â
Ming Shu smiled. âI want to talk to her.â
Lin Yuxin stood up with the help of Meteor Rain. She spoke weakly, âSenior Wei Ran, are you appeased?â
Ming Shu tilted her head. She looked over the male authorâs shoulder and stared at Lin Xinyu. âIt is a pity that you are not an actress. You should act as the female lead of your novel next time. You might win an Oscar.â
Lin Yuxin frowned. What did she mean?
Ming Shu crossed her arms in front of her chest and smiled gently at her.
Lin Yuxin suddenly felt as though she was being seen through.
âWei Ran, why are you making such sarcastic remarks?â Meteor Rain screamed, âXinyu is a kind person but you canât just bully her like this!â
Ming Shuâs smile got brighter. âYouâre being used. Do you think that youâre really her friend?â
Meteor Rain said, âWhat bullshit are you saying?â
Ming Shu shrugged. âI am just reminding you kindly.â
Lin Yuxin panicked. She suddenly fell onto Meteor Rain.
âYuxin, what is wrong with you?â
âShe is just faking it. Why are you so nervous?â
Lin Yuxin gritted her teeth secretly.
âWei Ran!â Meteor Rain glared at Ming Shu angrily.
Ming Shu smiled. âIf you donât believe me, you can throw her into the pool and see if she wakes up. Donât worry, she wonât die. There are so many people here.â
The male author looked at her with disgust. âWhy are you so evil!â
Ming Shu thought for a moment. âI must have been born like this.â
Ming Shu laughed softly. âHowever, little cutie, I still like you.â
Everyone: â...â
This person must be crazy!
Ming Shu left the swimming pool under everyoneâs strange gaze.
She couldnât hit her snacks coupon here. There were too many people.
Sad.
Letâs go and eat some food.
I will think about how to date my snacks coupon after I finish eating.
...
Zhang Mu chased after Ming Shu. âWhy did you do that in front of so many...â
Ming Shu tilted her head. âIf I donât do that, how can she hate me?â
Zhang Mu: ???
Zhang Mu was confused.
Ming Shu went back to her room and took her luggage. Zhang Mu got even more puzzled. âYouâre leaving?â
âIâm changing rooms.â
This room was chosen by the organizers of the gathering. When she went down just now, she went to book another room for herself.
âWei Lan... what happened to you?â Zhang Mu was in a daze. âYou seem weird.â
In his memory, Wei Lan was an obedient little girl. She would never make a huge scene out of something small.
âI was reborn,â Ming Shu said.
â...â Did you go crazy from writing novels?
Ming Shuâs new room was upstairs. It was just two rooms away from Zhang Muâs room.
Zhang Mu placed Ming Shuâs luggage in her room. âWei Lan, I am being serious. What you did just now will definitely be spread around.â
âOh, so?â Ming Shu said. âWill it prevent me from earning money?â
Zhang Mu: â...â
Whe do I feel that she didnât understand what I said?
Zhang Mu analyzed the situation for Ming Shu. If this matter spread to the readers, it would become her dark history and other people would feel that she had a bad character. It would affect her somehow.
Ming Shu acknowledged Zhang Mu nonchalantly. Zhang Mu couldnât continue anymore. He left and Ming Shu sent him off with a smile.
[Hidden Task: Donât be too urgent in harming your own people. The crematory is just around the corner.]
Ming Shu: â...â Why does this title sound so frightening?
[Hint: People in the same industry will be exceptionally jealous of each other. Everyone in the same industry is your enemy. All the best, Guest! Offend them!]
Ming Shu: â...â
She provoked other races last time and now, she was targeting her own people?
[Guest, you canât go and provoke people in a different industry, right?] You are not on the same level as them. You can only offend people in your own industry.
âWhy canât I? I have been a straight-A student a few times. I can expand to other industries.â
[...] Guest is starting to become arrogant again. Let me show her some little demons fighting to calm her down.
Ming Shu: â...â
Can you change to something else!
Shallow!
Rubbish!
...
What happened at the swimming pool spread throughout the writersâ circle.
When Ming Shu logged in to her writersâ group chat, she saw peopleâs discussion about it. One of the writers posted this on her microblog and that started the discussion.
Ming Shu scrolled through the chat.
Poisonous Beauty: I didnât expect Wei Ran to bully people so blatantly.
A Sudden Dream: The author called Lin Yuxin had gotten extremely popular recently. Is Wei Ran afraid that she will take her spot?
Night Demon: I donât think so. Wei Ran had made a name for herself many years ago. Her style is different from Lin Yuxinâs writing style too. There is no worry of Lin Yuxin taking over her spot in the novel industry.
Nian Hua Du: DIdnât the microblog say that she took advantage of her status as a senior to bully other people?
W: Yes, I bullied her. Why? Are you all not convinced? Do you all want to be bullied by me too?
The chat turned quiet.
Wei Ran was pulled into the chat by other people and she didnât speak much so not many people knew that she was in the chat.
The ID of Wei Ran was weird too. Everyone had to look at her details to confirm that it was Wei Ran.
Ming Shu copied this statement and pasted it wherever this discussion was present.
After she sent out this statement, other people screenshot it and the news spread quickly. There was even a detailed explanation of what happened on an authorâs forum.
Ming Shu ate two boxes of KFC happily.
I am only afraid that you all will not hate me.
I am the best at digging my own grave!
