Qi Nian's provocation to Lu Qingwu was like the fuse of all events. She ignited the lead. No matter how rough and long the lead was, it was only a matter of time when it exploded.
Of course, Lu Qingwu would not really consider the option of "surrendering yourself", but inevitably had doubts and suspicions about what she had always believed in.
Qi Nian was not surprised that the trip to N city this time would be fruitless. Yuji Yanxin asked for leave in school. Qi Nian did not go back to Z city directly, but continued north to B city.
Ye Changan has been in City B for a few days. He contacted Qi Nian last night and decided to discuss cooperation in film and television copyright in City B.
Ye Changan is a very straightforward person. After she met at the book order meeting in Z city, she went back to the meeting to evaluate Qi Nian's market value and estimated the investment in Qi Nian's acquisition of film and television copyrights.
It took only an hour to negotiate the general conditions of the contract, and it was decided to sign the contract at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, and then the topic of work was over. After thinking about it, Ye Changan asked casually: "I heard that you are about to do an internship in the second grade. I just recently invested in a publishing and media company in City Z, are you interested in trying out the editor-in-chief?"
Qi Nian almost spit out a sip of water...
Qi Nian is actually very grateful to Ye Changan, whether it is her appreciation or her trust, after all, she can insist on signing her mind regardless of the black material flying all over the sky... Decision makers who are not mentally strong generally really can't do it.
Probably seeing what Qi Nian was thinking, Ye Changan snorted and said with a smile: "Everyone who has been in the circle for a long time can see a lot of things clearly, I believe you are not the kind of person they say, so you are willing to Give you the corresponding value. After this incident, Qi Nian, you will get better and better. Now, I just invest in advance. "
huh huh...
Having said that, I feel even better.
Back in the hotel room, the quiet and dark space inexplicably made Qi Nian feel powerless and tired. After sitting by the bed for a while, Qi Nian stared at the phone, struggling for ten minutes whether to call Ji Yanxin...
In the end, it was Zhou Xinxin's call that saved her in time.
Everything came without warning, just like what happened four years ago suddenly made a comeback. At this moment, all the tranquility was broken by the sudden change of wind and waves.
The sailboat that had been drifting at sea, the canvas that was worn out by the sun was finally smashed by the storm. The rapid torrential rain broke the mast, and the whole sailboat was pressed into the seabed and torn to pieces.
Xiao Lili posted a message on Weibo at 7:00 p.m.—
Xiao Lili_Sun: "I'm sorry, Seven Cubs."
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and this sudden apology made the topic that had been quiet for a while again lively again. Everyone was confused to guess the meaning of Xiao Lili's words. .
A few minutes later, Xiao Lili posted a long Weibo on Weibo, and at the same time, he solemnly opened a post on the Manhua Forum to publicly apologize.
As a bystander who knew the whole truth four years ago, I am ashamed that I have only now plucked up the courage to tell the truth. First of all, I would like to apologize to Qi Zai, because of my selfishness and the difference of one thought, she suffered accusations that she should not have suffered four years ago. Also because I pretended to be deaf and dumb, she has been viewed and questioned by netizens in the past four years.
This is what happened back then:
I noticed Qiyue Qingwu's manga on the official website, contacted Qiyue Qingwu and negotiated a publishing contract. During the conversation, I found out that I was in the same city with Qiyue Qingwu, and they made an appointment to meet at the company directly. After meeting and talking, I found out that she turned out to be Lu Qingwu, so I asked her to sign her name with "Lu Qingwu". Because the contracts are all comic books that have ended serialization, so after signing the contract, I asked Lu Qingwu to submit the manuscript as soon as possible.
She did not hand over the manuscript to me until nearly three months after the deadline. Not long after it was handed over to me, the plagiarism incident of Qizai broke out on the Internet. That night, I received the verification from Qi Zai's friends. Probably at that time, the mood was a little unstable, and there were many loopholes in the logic of the expression, but when I sent the chat records of Qi Zai and me to Lu Qingwu, and When I asked her what was going on, I learned the truth.
There are two people behind Qiyue Qingwu's vest, one is Qizai and the other is Lu Qingwu. Except for a few pictures by Lu Qingwu, the rest were created by Qizai himself. Also because of the signing contracts of the three comics, I offered a high fee for the manuscript and promised to promote the overseas traditional copyright, and also signed the agency rights of the film and television copyright. At the same time, Lu Qingwu deliberately concealed the news, privately changed Qiyue Qingwu's registration information and login password, and took Qizai's works as his own.
The so-called three-month delay is because Lu Qingwu did not have the original manuscript, and deliberately took the manuscript from Qizai and destroyed all the evidence. Moreover, the so-called Manyou exposed Qi Nian’s plagiarized post was actually Lu Qingwu’s. The purpose of posting with a trumpet is to completely destroy Qizai, so that I can have no worries.
At the time when I was competing for the editor-in-chief, I was afraid that this incident would become a smudge on my resume, so I made a big mistake with a single thought. Instead of defending the legitimate rights and interests of Qizai without hesitation, I acted as an ostrich, and acted as if I didn't know anything, supported Lu Qingwu, and contributed to Lu Qingwu's current arrogance.
Today, four years later, Lu Qingwu ran into Qizai at a book ordering fair. That night, she posted two Weibo accusing Qizai and the hot post that night of Manhua was all done by her alone. In order to arouse huge repercussions from netizens, she even hired sailors to guide public opinion, and badly exposed the true identities of Qizai and Mr. J.
So far, this is the general process of the incident. Below is a screenshot of the chat between me and Lu Qingwu during the incident.
This long Weibo explains in detail what happened, and with the screenshots posted later, what Lu Qingwu has done over the years has been done.
It was like a handful of overturned light boats, which were originally drifting along their own trajectory, but hit a rock in the middle, and there was no possibility of turning over.
A few minutes after the long Weibo was published, the number of comments immediately soared under Qi's statement a few days ago and the Weibo saying "I'm fine, don't worry about me".
Qi Nian's little angels have been oppressed by public opinion for so many days. Now that their innocence has been proven, in addition to feeling proud, they are more distressed for Qi Nian. Whoever put themselves in their shoes felt unfair and distressed for the seven cubs four years ago.
"If only I had known Dada earlier, at least I could stand by her side like Qixiong four years ago. Even if I can't do anything, let her know that we are behind her."
"It's really a turning point of the year... I'm running out of brains."
"Sure enough! I knew that my great character would not do such a thing!!! You don't believe it! Slap in the face? Do the little bitches of Lu Qingwu's family hurt? Does it hurt? I'm going to be slapped I was moved to tears."
"I feel sorry for my seven cubs, so please go to Mr. J to comfort me."
As the support of the seven cubs, the long comment of the seven bears is impressively the first in the hot comment: I don't know why, I was so sad that I cried. I am an old fan of Qizai four years ago, and I can still vaguely remember such a brutal crusade that year. At that time, no matter where he went, as long as he was a fan of Qizai, he was ridiculed and pinched in various ways, and there was no way to survive.
I was worried that Da Da would not be able to survive back then, but now that I see that what I insist on is always right, I feel that the halo above Da Da’s head is too bright, and I also feel that I am too powerful. It feels like I have been proved innocence. Just as excited.
To tell the truth, over the years, I have only achieved persistence and complete trust in Da Da. I am also very grateful to myself for standing on the big side so steadfastly back then. This is really a very fulfilling thing.
Countless countless comments, supportive, consoling, apologetic…
Everything she ever wanted, got it tonight. Those grievances when not being forgiven, those unspeakable suffocation, those powerless to refute when accused are finally relieved.
The heart in the chest was beating more and more powerfully, the power of blood seemed to rush out of her body, violent and powerful.
Compared with Qi Nian's, Lu Qingwu's Weibo was so tragic that he couldn't look directly at it. The spearhead of public opinion was successfully turned around, and the sharp blade went straight to the gate of life at an extremely fast speed and was extremely sharp.
Because of Ji Yanxin's attention to Qi Nian's stream of pornographic videos, all the great gods, whether Qi Nian knew or not, all forwarded and supported them.
The rapid attention and the extremely active topic within 24 hours immediately created a hot topic-#apology to Qizai#.
I never expected to get back everything that belonged to me before, but now, being maintained, fought for, and valued... This kind of strong emotion moved Qi Nian's eyes sore.
However, the whole world seems to be busy with her affairs, and there is only one person, and so far there has been no word.
Qi Nian held the phone, stared at Ji Yanxin's name in the recent call list for a long time, and made a call.
After a brief busy tone, there was a soft click and the call was connected.
Qi Nian took a deep breath, suppressed the surging emotions that he had not been able to calm down until now, and softly "Hello", before Ji Yanxin could answer, he heard the flight attendant on the other end of the phone in a gentle female voice, tirelessly reminding the passengers Pay attention to the sounds under your feet.
Ji Yanxin made a low "um", which counted as a response.
Not surprisingly, I heard the sound of breathing that clearly began to rise and fall.
Ji Yanxin found a seat and sat down, tilted his head to look at the dark night outside the machine window, and whispered to her: "I just got on the plane now, and I will be at the airport in City B in about an hour. Would you like to pick me up?"
When the words fell, in the sound of Qi Nian's breathing, he whispered again, "I miss you."
Shengyuan Hotel, which is located in the most prosperous part of the city center, is very far from the airport in city B. Even if it is smooth all the way, it will take more than an hour to drive without waiting for the traffic lights.
Before Ji Yanxin came, he had already booked a room at Shengyuan Hotel and ordered the shuttle service. When the flight attendant reminded him to turn off the computer for the second time, he only had time to ask Qi Nian to come with the car that was picked up by the hotel.
All the way to red lights and traffic jams, the driver drove the car like a tortoise, causing Qi Nian to fall asleep unknowingly on the way, and when he woke up, he was covered with a long dark gray coat, thick and thick. warm again.
Qi Nian dazedly hugged his clothes and sat up straight, then turned to see Ji Yanxin, who closed his eyes and wondered if he was asleep.
No lights were turned on in the compartment, only the light coming in from the black windows made the somewhat spacious compartment faintly visible.
Ji Yanxin turned his face sideways, his handsome face was hidden in the darkness and could not be seen clearly, only the outline of the face was as clear as an axe, the bridge of the nose was high, and the lips were perfectly curved, all of which looked like a frame in Qi Nian's eyes. The slow motion of the frame gradually enlarged, and finally it was frozen on his closed eyes.
A full row of long eyelashes cast a faint shadow under his eyelids, setting off his eyes that were still deep even when they were closed.
Before getting into the car, Qi Nian was still thinking.
All the problems between them are solved, and the picture of the reunion must be touching and warm. Even if Teacher Ji's character is impossible to see her from a distance, she will run over excitedly and hug her in her arms... Anyway, after finding each other at the airport where people come and go, they can have a deep affection for each other. 's gaze.
As a result, there was none.
After breaking through the wind and waves, she fell asleep on the way exhausted, and the people who came from thousands of miles away fell asleep after getting into the car... It was an unexpected pick-up scene.
Afraid of waking him up, Qi Nian leaned back in the chair gently.
The collar of the coat held in his arms has a very light fragrance, the smell of his usual shampoo, familiar and refreshing. Qi Nian couldn't help burying his face in his clothes, and just after rubbing it twice, he was patted on the back of his head.
At the same time, just woken up, a low male voice said lazily: "I just brought that coat, don't get it dirty."
Qi Nian, who was inflicting "atrocities" on his clothes, stopped immediately, raised his head, and looked at him with good eyes, "Did I wake you?"
"I didn't fall asleep." Ji Yanxin rubbed the top of her hair lightly, then withdrew his hand to adjust his sitting position, "I closed my eyes for a while."
While speaking, he raised his hand and wrapped her shoulders around her, leaned over, put all the weight of his body down, and said in a lazy voice, "What did you want to say to me before I hung up the phone?"
Ji Yanxin asked what she had said at the beginning of the word "I" before the flight attendant reminded him to turn off the phone for the second time.
I know
I'm waiting for you
I…
"Oh." Qi Nian didn't dare to move, her ears were red, and she just snorted softly, "I mean I miss you too."
Ji Yanxin's eyes just closed suddenly opened, he seemed to laugh, he tilted his head and kissed her ear, and whispered in a low voice, "I will finish talking important things in one breath in the future."
Important words...
Qi Nian was still pondering the meaning of his words, and he heard him add in a low and slow manner: "For example, I miss you, I do, I love you."
In the silent underground parking lot, there was only a low-pitched sound when the lock was unlocked in the distance.
However, at this moment, Qi Nian's heartbeat was so deafening that everything was covered up, and only the pounding heartbeat could be heard.
I miss you, I do, I love you...
Too much, and flirting!
The way back was much smoother.
At the hotel, Ji Yanxin went to check in and was registering his ID card. The clerk in charge of check-in at the front desk looked up at Qi Nian and asked politely, "Sir, do you live alone?"
Qi Nian was originally counting the black grids on the marble, when he heard the words, he immediately pricked up his ears.
Ji Yanxin took Qi Nian's hand very naturally and replied, "She has a room alone."
The girl at the front desk smiled and handed over Ji Yanxin's ID card and the room key card, "Hello, this is the key card of your room."
Ji Yanxin's room was on the same floor as Qi Nian's, but there were several rooms in the middle, so the difference was a bit far.
Seeing the arrival of the elevator, Qi Nian figured that it was a little late, and it was not easy to say "I'll go to your place and sit for a while" or "You come to my room and we'll talk later", so she held her back for a while. The stomach spit out a sentence: "Then I'll go back to the room first."
The declarative sentence... has an inquiring tone.
After waiting for a few seconds, without waiting for an answer, Qi Nian resisted the urge to stomp and turned around calmly. Ji Yanxin held his hand before he stepped out.
He frowned, his expression unexpectedly serious, "No hurry, come and sit with me for a while."
Qi Nian smiled secretly in his heart, but he put on an expression of "I don't care, since you said you want to sit for a while, then sit for a while" and let him hold him.
Seeing that he was about to reach the door of the room, Qi Nian just remembered and asked, "Xiao Lili will suddenly apologize, is it you..."
"Yeah." Ji Yanxin didn't deny it, he held her in one hand and swiped the door card with the other hand to open the door, and led her in.
After inserting the room card sensor, there was a beep, and the lights all over the room turned on instantly. Qi Nian hadn't gotten used to the strong light yet. In the next second, Ji Yanxin was hugged into her arms from behind. Her long and slender hands blocked all her sight. Except for a few red rays of light that came out from between her fingers, she didn't do anything. invisible.
Qi Nian stopped subconsciously, and said uncomfortably, "What, what's wrong?"
"Go forward." His body pressed against him, trapping her tightly in his arms, "If you're afraid, just walk slowly, I'll be right behind you."
The lowered voice was soft and gentle, as if coaxing the prey into his encirclement, with extra patience.
Qi Nian calmed down and calmed down his heart that had been clamoring for a while, and walked forward step by step in the darkness he built.
In an environment where you can't see things, time becomes extraordinarily long.
Just when Qi Nian couldn't help but ask when to stop, the fingers covering her eyes loosened. The person who had been following her unhurriedly, who had always held her in his arms, suddenly took a step back.
In the rustling voice, Qi Nian turned around, squinting his eyes to adjust to the light while searching for Ji Yanxin's figure.
He was just two steps behind Qi Nian, looking at her with his hands behind his back, with a firm and soft expression on his face, then, when Qi Nian's vision gradually became clear, Ji Yanxin knelt down and knelt down in front of her on one knee .
Behind him was a bed full of rose petals. The bright and dripping petals put together a shape of love, which was displayed in front of Qi Nian without warning.
Everything suddenly... left her at a loss.
What ambiguous lights, what beautiful roses, can't compare to him kneeling in front of her on one knee and holding a ring to shock Qi Nian.
She almost subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but as soon as she had this intention, Ji Yanxin grabbed her hand and clasped her wrist very hard. He suppressed a smile and warned in a low voice, "Don't run, let's talk after listening."
Qi Nian pursed her lips, trembling nervously, "Get up... get up and talk."
This is the first time in my life... I really can't calm down.
Feeling that she was trying to get him to stand up and talk, Ji Yanxin didn't hold back his smile, he smirked twice, and asked her, "Have you ever seen someone stand up when they proposed?"
Qi Nian opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.
She wants to say it's okay... You can just stand and say it, but then think about it... The focus is again on the "proposal" he said, and then she is full of bang dong dong driving the lively party.
"I didn't expect it to be so early, at least step by step and give you some time to react." Ji Yanxin said thoughtfully, "But I couldn't help it. After I got the ring, I couldn't stop thinking about it."
So I can't wait for you to come back the day after tomorrow. As soon as things are arranged in Z city, I can't wait to come to B city to see you.
"Before making this decision, I thought about it for a long time, not because I should get married, nor to deal with my elders, but because of you. I have the ability to solve all your troubles for you, and I can also take care of all the accidents in your future life." After a while, Ji Yanxin held her hand with sweaty fingers, "Consider marrying me."
The low voice was almost mute when it said the last words.
Qi Nian was held by his hot fingers, his mind was so blank that he couldn't think at all, a bunch of questions were stuck in his heart, but he couldn't even say a word.
That kind of nervousness is not ordinary nervousness, which can be summed up by only blushing and heartbeat, but indescribably panicking in the bottom of my heart, not because of him, nor because of the marriage proposal, but because I have no idea in my heart.
The whole heart was so desolate that there was only the sound of the silent wind, but there was a shudder that spread from the back to the heart, and the numbness made her whole heart soft.
"I-I'm not ready..." It was too sudden.
"Bad news or surprise?" Ji Yanxin asked with a smile, except for his sweaty palms, he looked the same as usual.
"Surprise." Qi Nian couldn't help but look at the diamond ring in his hand, and licked his lips a little hard, "I'm very surprised, but I'm not ready to be your wife, nor can I take on the responsibility of a family..."
Qi's mother always instilled in her the big and macro idea of family responsibility from time to time, which caused her to nod her head eagerly, but she couldn't suppress her sense of responsibility. I haven't said what I should say... What if Ji Yanxin regrets his marriage proposal!
"I'm five years older than you, and I'm ready to wait for you slowly. You don't need to work hard to learn the sense of family responsibility. What you have to share is only for me. You don't have to worry about everything else. What matters... is that you want to."
Qi Nian sniffed hard, holding back the sourness in his eyes. She knew the weight of what she was going to say next, so she slowed down and said word by word, "I will."
You know, I fell in love with you at first sight.
