Zhan Xi woke up in the hospital.

Her head was still aching slightly, and she really didn't want to open her eyes, but she knew she had to, otherwise that person would be worried.

Who was that person? For a moment she couldn't remember.

Is this what amnesia is? It turns out that people really can lose their memory, and the stories in novels are not lies.

She slowly opened her eyes and saw the man sitting beside the bed. Looking at his worried eyes, all her memories came back to her at once.

How could she forget him

Her little fish is the cutest and most gentle boy in the world.

It’s just that he looks terrible now, not handsome at all.

Luo Jingyu and Luo Xinran both saw Zhan Xi open his eyes. Luo Xinran breathed a sigh of relief and said to Luo Jingyu, "Brother, she's awake. I beg you to eat something. If you pass out again, I really can't take care of you two."

Earlier, Luo Xinran was stunned when she returned to the community with the takeaway. After such a long time, not only did they not go upstairs, but Zhan Jie was also missing. Luo Jingyu sat in front of the unit door holding the unconscious Zhan Xi, and there were several enthusiastic residents around to give him advice.

Luo Xinran thought Zhan Xi had hypoglycemia, so she asked Luo Jingyu to carry her out of the community and took a taxi to the nearest hospital.

When we arrived at the hospital, we found out that Zhan Xi had suffered a mild concussion from Chi Guilan. Fortunately, the doctor said that she would recover after a few days of rest, and gave her glucose to replenish her energy.

Zhan Xi knew that Luo Jingyu had not eaten anything, so he wanted to open his mouth to speak, but found that his lips were very stiff. He wanted to use sign language, but when he raised his left hand a little, Luo Jingyu reached out and held it down.

There was an IV needle hanging on the back of her hand. Luo Jingyu nodded to her, pointed at himself with his left finger, and made a gesture of eating, meaning that he would eat.

"Eat, don't overeat. You're ruining your health and it's only benefiting me." Luo Xinran opened a box lunch for Luo Jingyu. Luo Jingyu took it with her left hand. She couldn't hold the spoon with her right hand, so she could only put the lunch box on the bedside table and eat slowly with the spoon in her left hand.

Zhan Xi turned his head to look at him, and moved his right hand to touch the gauze on his right hand. Luo Jingyu shook her head at her. Zhan Xi moved his lips and whispered, "Idiot."

Luo Xinran was busy all day from morning till night. Luo Jingyu felt bad and asked her to go home and rest. Luo Xinran asked him, "Can you take care of her by yourself?"

Luo Jingyu nodded, and Luo Xinran asked Zhan Xi again: "Are you really okay? Does your head still hurt?"

Zhan Xi said softly, "I'm fine, you can go home, Xiaoyu is here, thank you for your hard work today."

"That's when good friends help out." Luo Xinran smiled and touched her hair. "Your Xiaoyu is also a wounded soldier now. You two are also very lucky, being admitted to the hospital one after the other. Let me go home, take a shower and have a nap. I'll come to see you tomorrow morning and bring you food. The doctor said you can be discharged after one night of observation. Have a good rest. If it's inconvenient, hire a nurse."

Zhan Xi nodded and found Luo Jingyu looking at her strangely. Zhan Xi asked, "What's wrong?"

Luo Jingyu hesitated for a moment, and raised her hands above her head like two ears.

Zhan Xi understood immediately and said to Luo Xinran, "Xinran, I'll give you the key. Could you please go back to room 1504? The kitten at home is out of water and food. Can you help us take care of it? Just add some water and cat food."

Luo Xinran smiled: "No problem, I will do it, don't worry."

After Luo Xinran left, only Luo Jingyu was left by the bed. An older sister was sleeping on another bed. The family members were watching TV and didn't care about them.

Luo Jingyu held Zhan Xi's right hand with her left hand. The two looked at each other. They didn't need to say anything. They could understand each other's intentions with their eyes alone.

One is saying: I'm fine, don't worry.

Another one was also saying: I'm fine, don't worry.

Luo Jingyu gently covered Zhan Xi's eyelashes with her left hand and made a sleeping gesture with one hand. Zhan Xi knew that he wanted her to rest, so she nodded obediently and closed her eyes.

She really wanted to sleep and had a headache. The best thing to do at this time was to take a nap without thinking about anything. But when she really closed her eyes, her mind was full of confusion.

The problem has not been resolved yet, and Fang Xu's path is completely blocked.

When his mother found out about Xiaoyu's existence and that he was deaf, she disapproved of their relationship.

Fang Xu already knew that they had no evidence, and he didn't know what to do next.

If he cannot prove himself, will Xiaoyu be sued by Huanchang? Can he still continue to make embossing flowers

How will they get through the hurdle of their mother? Will their father and brother still support them

Zhan Xi fell asleep at some point and woke up because he wanted to vomit.

Luo Jingyu sat beside the bed with a trash can, hugged her and patted her back, watching her retching in her arms.

The doctor said it was normal and that he just needed to observe it and it would be fine in two days. Luo Jingyu felt very distressed. He already knew that the old lady was Huanhuan's mother. She was really heavy-handed and was actually going to hit him, but Huanhuan blocked it for him.

He had long guessed that her mother would not accept him. Few parents of healthy girls would accept their daughter having a deaf boyfriend. Moreover, he was now faced with such a situation. The only advantages he had before, his career, his skills, now seemed to be in jeopardy.

He would become a good-for-nothing person, deaf, dumb, poorly educated, jobless, and penniless, and he would also be charged with plagiarism. Oh, and he also got into a fight with someone and was taken to the police station. Even Huanhuan's family knew about it.

Is there anyone in the world who is worse than him

Luo Jingyu barely slept all night, and at most she would take a nap beside Zhan Xi's bed, always paying attention to her movements. He held her right hand the whole time, because he couldn't hear her, and was afraid that he wouldn't notice if she called him for something.

Zhan Xi vomited twice in one night and went to the toilet several times with the help of Luo Jingyu.

She felt dizzy and walked unsteadily. When she went to the toilet, Luo Jingyu didn't leave either. She held the infusion bottle for her and turned slightly to avoid her. Zhan Xi didn't feel shy at all, as if she had nothing to hide in front of this person.

After a night, Luo Xinran and Pipixia came to the hospital with breakfast. Zhan Xi's spirit had recovered a little. The doctor prescribed some medicine for her and told her to go home and rest for a few days.

After breakfast, Luo Xinran helped Zhan Xi to go through the discharge procedures, and Pipixia drove her and Luo Jingyu home.

In the car, Luo Xinran hesitated several times to speak, and Pipixia couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Tell them, how long can you keep it a secret? Zhan Xi will definitely see it."

Zhan Xi looked at Luo Xinran and asked, "Are they... going to take follow-up actions?"

"Yeah." Luo Xinran nodded, "You can check Weibo. It's better to know it earlier. Don't get too excited. The doctor said you can't get excited."

Zhan Xi smiled: "Don't worry, I'm tired."

Before opening Weibo, Zhan Xixian made an agreement with Luo Jingyu that he should not get angry, should not get excited, should not act on his own and should not do impulsive things. If he had any ideas, he should tell her and not keep them in his heart.

Luo Jingyu agreed. He did not regret beating Fang Xu, but he regretted that his impulsiveness had implicated so many people.

Zhan Xi opened Weibo, and Luo Jingyu leaned over to watch with her, and finally found out what had happened.

At around 8 o'clock in the morning, rrmft0429 posted a new Weibo. It was very long, telling everything again and attached many pictures.

But this time, in addition to tagging Huan Shang and Xi Yu, she also tagged many people in the hot stamping industry, including Xu Qingyan, Sister Shao, Sister Xiao Zhu, etc., and specifically mentioned that Teacher Luo was Xu Qingyan's student. She questioned Xu Qingyan, saying that her favorite student had plagiarized the work of her, a small hot stamping enthusiast, and it has been two days, but he has neither admitted nor apologized. How should this matter be resolved

In addition, rrmft0429 also reposted this Weibo, and this time all the well-known Hanfu brand studios and Hanfu clubs were tagged.

Some people in the industry who were not aware of the situation forwarded the post, and the matter quickly became a hot topic. The comments under Xiyu's Weibo post were simply unbearable, with a small number of people watching and watching, and the majority of people cursing.

The picture posted by rrmft0429 includes a screenshot of the private message Zhan Xi sent her. Focusing on this point, many people asked Xiyu Tanghua to produce evidence.

Netizen 1: You swear that the other party copied the manuscript without proof, but you can't provide any evidence to prove that your draft was earlier than his. Do you have the final say? Are you bullying him because he is a newcomer

Netizen 2: Ahhh my house collapsed! ! Mr. Luo from Xiyu's family is the teacher who taught Xiaoyuyu handmade embossing! ! I can recognize his hands even if they turn to ash!

Netizen 3: Damn, I just ordered a hairpin from your store a while ago. I’m going to ask for a refund right away. Get lost, you plagiarist!

Netizen 4: I have a question. If Xiyu really had a draft earlier than the victim, does that mean the victim copied Xiyu? But the victim must have read Xiyu's draft. I don't believe in coincidence. Since he has read it, does that mean Xiyu leaked the draft somewhere? It's easy to provide evidence. If he can't provide it, does that mean Xiyu is lying? There was no draft at all

There are a lot of return requests in Xiyu Hot Flower’s Taobao store.

Luo Jingyu has already finished making these accessories and was originally planning to ship them out at the end of the month.

Zhan Xi turned off his phone and said, "That's it. It's pretty much what I thought. They made a big fuss about it and made it known to everyone in the hot circle Hanfu circle. That's all they can do."

Luo Jingyu also saw those comments. She sat there motionless, her expression becoming dull again.

Zhan Xi sighed, and Luo Xinran asked, "What are you going to do?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." Zhan Xi said, "Xiao Yu told me last night that Fang Xu admitted that he did it. Since the other party is so confident, we can't escape anymore. We must respond. I have to think about how to write it, and also find more evidence. Alas... He wants to trick you, and every step is planned. His chance of winning is that we don't have any backup, which is also based on his understanding of Xiao Yu's work habits. We were too busy at that time, and we didn't even think of keeping any backup. When Fang Xu and Xiao Yu said they wanted to break up, that person's Weibo had already been posted."

Luo Xinran asked again: "Do you know who that person is?"

"It's most likely Guan Rujie, Fang Xu's new partner, from another hot flower school, not many people learn this in China." Zhan Xi analyzed, "The hairpin designed by Xiaoyu is not simple, she is really a newcomer, she can't make it like that. If she is from Teacher Xu's school, she won't do such a despicable thing for Teacher Xu's sake. As long as we have a record, if Teacher Xu knows who we are, how can we survive in the circle?"

"That makes sense." Luo Xinran thought for a moment, "But where can I find this evidence? Do you have any idea?"

Zhan Xi shook his head: "Not yet, but I always feel that there are some small details that I haven't noticed. I'm too dizzy now, and I get a headache if I think too deeply."

As she spoke, she slapped Luo Jingyu's leg heavily and said angrily, "This fish in our family is so stupid. He should have said earlier that he was going to find Fang Xu. I tied a recorder in his underwear. Fang Xu would be on guard against me, not him. Look, he really admitted it. What a pity, a good opportunity was wasted."

Luo Xinran and Pipixia both laughed. Luo Jingyu didn't see Zhan Xi's lip reading and didn't understand what they were laughing at. She rubbed her legs and pouted.

Zhanxi would not be really angry with him. Xiaoyu was the most upset at this time. She was reluctant to say anything to him. The most urgent thing was to think about how to resolve this crisis. Compared with this, her mother's affairs were nothing. Fortunately, her brother was there to help her block it for a while.

The four of them returned to 1504, and Zhan Xi lay down on the bed again. She really couldn't sit still and had to lie down to feel more comfortable. She still felt like vomiting occasionally.

Because of his injured hand, Luo Jingyu couldn't cook anymore. Luo Xinran didn't let him clean the cat litter box, and he and Pipixia took care of the gifts together. When they were free, Pipixia ordered takeout and the three of them had lunch in the living room.

Luo Jingyu ate very quickly and after finishing her meal, she carried a bowl of vegetable porridge into the bedroom. Zhan Xi had slept for a while and woke up at this time. Luo Jingyu patted her arm and asked her to get up and drink some porridge.

The wounds on his face were still colorful, and they were even more swollen after a night. Zhan Xi touched his left cheek, and Luo Jingyu felt pain and turned her head away.

"No wonder my mother wanted to beat you." Zhan Xi leaned against the back of the bed, still in the mood to joke with him, "If I saw your face, I would also want to beat you, it's so ugly."

Luo Jingyu looked in the mirror and realized that her face was indeed very miserable. When she appeared in front of Huanhuan's mother like this, she felt like it was a large-scale disaster scene when she thought about it later. She didn't know what to do in the future.

He lowered his eyes, put the bowl of porridge on the bedside table, took the spoon in his left hand and scooped up a spoonful of porridge, blew on it, and handed it to Zhan Xi's mouth, who opened his mouth and drank it.

After feeding him half a bowl of porridge, Zhan Xi shook his head and said he couldn't eat anymore.

Luo Jingyu didn't force her. The doctor said that if she had a poor appetite, she should eat small meals frequently. He thought about cooking porridge or noodles for Huanhuan in the evening. It should be no problem to cook porridge with one hand.

"Xiao Yu." Zhan Xi held Luo Jingyu's left hand. Luo Jingyu clasped her fingers with her backhand. Looking into her eyes, Zhan Xi smiled lightly, "It will pass. It will be fine. Believe me, good people will be rewarded. I will be with you. Don't be afraid. Never, ever, ever give up."

Luo Jingyu's eyes turned red and she blinked quickly several times to stop the tears from falling.

"Promise me, don't give up." Zhan Xi's voice was very soft, because he had no strength to use it, but his tone was firm, "I want you to promise me."

After a long time, Luo Jingyu nodded.

In the afternoon, Zhan Xi took the medicine and slept again. When he woke up, his headache was much relieved. Luo Xinran and Pipixia had not left yet. Luo Jingyu asked Pipixia to help buy some vegetables and noodles. She planned to make dinner for Zhan Xi and some midnight snacks in the evening.

The three of them still had to rely on takeout for dinner. After eating, Luo Xinran served them the gifts again and left with the mantis shrimp.

Luo Jingyu sent a WeChat message to Zhan Jie the night before, telling him that Zhan Xi had a concussion and had stayed in the hospital for one night. She asked Zhan Jie and Zhan's mother not to disturb her rest in the next few days because the doctor said she could not get excited or stimulated.

He sent these messages haltingly, but at least he explained the matter clearly. Zhan Jie said he understood and told them to take good care of themselves, one to recover and the other to recover. He would take care of their mother. Their mother didn't know where Luo Jingyu lived, so it would be useless even if she came to find her.

Brother-in-law Zhan Jie: You should be smarter. You are so stupid that you go to fight with others. Is that manly? You feel good to pay the money, right? How can I trust you to leave my sister to you if you are so impulsive? If it weren’t for you protecting my sister from being beaten yesterday, I wouldn’t bother to care about you! Also, think of a way to solve your mess. You are such a grown-up and still get framed. If this matter doesn’t go well, I won’t be able to explain it to my mother. My father and I can’t handle it! Do you understand

Big Fish: I understand. Thank you, brother.

Zhan Jie's brother-in-law: Don't call me brother! Call me brother Zhan.

What a Big Fish: Thank you, Brother Zhan.

Zhan Xi received the WeChat messages from Sister Shao and others asking about the situation. He simply added Sister Shao, Sister Xiao Zhu and Sister Xiao Ding to a small group. He did not dare to add Xu Qingyan. He told the group what had happened in detail.

After saying this, the three sisters were stunned.

Sister Shao: To be honest, I believe Xiaoyu. We have known each other for many years, although we are not very familiar with each other. He is a really simple-minded person. I don’t believe the news he received on Weibo at all.

Xiao Zhu: Didn’t you notice that the style of that person’s design is Xiaoyu’s style? As long as you are familiar with Xiaoyu’s works, you can tell at a glance.

Sister Xiao Ding: But netizens can’t see it! What they want is evidence!

Sister Shao: This is too speechless. He was photographed [dizzy]. It would have been fine for you to take the photo yourself and send it to him. How stupid are you two

Egg Pudding: Stop scolding me, stop scolding me, Sister Shao. We were organizing the Maker Festival at that time and really didn’t care about this matter at all. Besides, it was just a rough draft. It was Fang Xu who originally took the order. Who knew he would hold back and hurt us

Sister Xiao Ding: I will just ignore your Weibo. I have been busy making flowers these days. My child is on summer vacation and I have to take care of her. I still have a lot of business to do for the Hanfu Festival. But Xiao Zhan, I have to tell you that I can’t speak for Xiao Yu for now. This matter is too sensitive. Teacher Xu hasn’t responded yet.

Egg Pudding: It's okay, Sister Ding. I understand. You don't have to speak for Xiaoyu. I'd be grateful if you didn't retweet that person's Weibo. I'll post a Weibo tonight to explain.

Sister Xiao Zhu: You can post one first to see the situation, write down what happened clearly, and see if netizens can understand it. Sometimes even if there is no evidence, as long as your logic is reasonable, there will still be people who can understand it.

Egg Pudding: Yeah, I will write it well.

A response was definitely necessary. After eating a bowl of egg and vegetable porridge cooked by Luo Jingyu, Zhan Xi insisted on getting up and sitting at the workbench, turning on his laptop.

She first sorted out the screenshots of the chat history, including the design requirements that Fang Xu sent to Luo Jingyu after accepting the order on July 3, as well as Luo Jingyu's reply.

There is a point in their favor. Fang Xu should have deliberately not asked when the manuscript could be submitted, but Luo Jingyu was a principled person and took the initiative to ask when it should be submitted. Fang Xu said ambiguously "no rush", and then the highlight came. Luo Jingyu said -

What a Big Fish: I'm very busy lately. I can finish the painting in 10 days and give it to you before the 13th.

Fang Xu: Don’t worry, just take your time.

After that, there was no chat record between them regarding this business.

Zhan Xi also had chat records with Su Su, asking her whether Fang Xu had given her the design draft, and Su Su said no. Zhan Xi asked Su Su if he could send these chat records, and Su Su said she would send them first and see, as they had been in touch since August, so it was actually useless.

After sorting out all the pictures, Zhan Xi made a one-to-one puzzle between Luo Jingyu's draft and rrmft0429's so-called design draft. The four pictures, two hairpins, and two hand flowers were almost exactly the same.

She began to write the article, and Luo Jingyu sat beside her from beginning to end, watching her do these things. Zhan Xi would occasionally ask for his opinion, but Luo Jingyu could not say anything.

The current situation is not favorable to them. They don't care about the Hanfu Festival anymore. They have discussed refunding, so they refunded. If the customer doesn't want to buy, how can they force the sale? The most urgent thing is to make everything clear. There is no evidence, but this is the situation. If netizens don't believe it, they can't think of any other way for the time being.

While writing, Zhanxi vomited again, throwing up all the porridge she had eaten that night. Her head still hurt, dizzy and painful, but she couldn't lie down, couldn't delay any longer, and had to finish writing with gritted teeth.

Luo Jingyu felt extremely guilty and went to heat up the remaining porridge in the rice cooker. She wanted to let Zhan Xi eat some after she finished writing, and then go to sleep after eating, so she shouldn't vomit again.

At around 11 o'clock at night, Zhan Xi finally posted on Weibo, and it was a very long article.

The story begins at the end of June when Mr. Luo was preparing for the Maker Festival. He talked about how he and Fang had worked together for four years to make "Little Fish Handmade Hot Flower", and registered "Jubilee Fish Hot Flower" because of the Maker Festival...

Zhan Xi wrote only facts, in a straightforward manner without any emotion, and in an objective manner.

At this time, you can’t write with emotion, you just have to let the netizens judge for themselves. She posted all the pictures she had, and concluded with a statement:

Teacher Luo did not plagiarize. He had already completed the first draft on July 9. On July 11, Fang, the operator of "Xiao Yu Yu Handmade Embossing", took a photo of it, resulting in the leakage of the design draft.

Xiyu Hot Flower and Huanshang Hanfu will reserve the right to pursue legal responsibility against rumor mongers.

What will happen after the design draft is leaked? Zhan Xi didn't write it, just look at those drafts! Anyone with eyes can see that this is definitely not a coincidence of inspiration, this is plagiarism! But who copied whom? Why did they copy? Who will benefit from this incident being exposed

She can’t say, please analyze it for yourself.

After finishing writing and sending it out, Zhan Xi could hardly hold on any longer.

She couldn't even take a shower and felt like she was going to faint at any minute. Luo Jingyu helped her to the big bed in the master bedroom, and she felt better only after she lay down.

Luo Jingyu made an eating gesture with her left hand and asked her if she wanted to eat anything.

Zhan Xi shook his head: "I want to sleep for a while."

Luo Jingyu nodded, and Zhan Xi took his hand and said, "When you take a shower later, don't get your right hand wet. The doctor said you can't touch water."

Luo Jingyu smiled, reached out to scratch her nose, and nodded.

Zhan Xi said, "Sleep with me at night, Xiaoyu, your bed is very big."

Luo Jingyu did not refuse. It was not like they had slept together before, and he was worried about Huanhuan sleeping alone.

He leaned over and kissed her forehead. She touched his face and said with disgust: "It smells like medicine."

Luo Jingyu pursed her lips. He had applied medicine on his face, and she herself felt it smelled bad.

"Go take a shower, stop looking at your phone, and go to sleep after you're done." Zhan Xi pulled his hand, "You didn't sleep last night, how did you manage to hold on?"

Luo Jingyu pinched her face, took some clean clothes and went to the bathroom.

That night, they slept together. Zhan Xi slept uneasily and broke out in a sweat. In the middle of the night, he groaned because of the headache.

She vaguely realized that Luo Jingyu couldn't hear her, so she stopped holding back and hummed "ouch yo" repeatedly, but her body didn't move much.

I don’t know how Luo Jingyu found out, but he leaned towards her and held her in his arms. He didn’t dare to rub her head, but just gently stroked her back.

His presence was like a powerful tranquilizer. Zhan Xi's heart gradually settled down, and his headache didn't hurt as much anymore. He closed his eyes peacefully in his arms.

However, things did not develop in a good direction. After the clarification Weibo of "Xiyu Hot Flower" was issued, the Weibo account of "Xiaoyuyu Handmade Hot Flower", which had not been updated for 800 years, jumped first.

Fang Xu has the same style as rrmft0429. He tagged a lot of people in the circle and said that he was "Fang Mou". He denied that he had taken pictures of Mr. Luo's design draft. He said that he went to Mr. Luo's house on July 11th and just stopped by to visit. He didn't see any draft at all! I don't know what Xiyu Hot Flower's intention is to drag him to take the blame. This matter has nothing to do with him!

Fang Xu also said that this business was not urgent, and he also told Teacher Luo that it was not urgent, and he would not ask for the manuscript at all, and Huan Chang did not ask him for the manuscript! Or he took the initiative to tell Huan Chang on July 22 that Teacher Luo had gone it alone and registered for Xiyu Hot Flower, and asked Huan Chang to go directly to Xiyu to find someone. Before that, if Huan Chang had asked for the manuscript, please show her the chat records!

Well, things have turned into a Rashomon, and "Xiao Yu Yu Handmade Hot Embroidery" has also been involved.

The shop "Xiao Yu Yu Handmade Embossing" is actually very magical. Over the past four years, it has had a very good reputation in the Hanfu fashion circle. However, the designer and producer has never shown up in a mysterious way. It was not until this time that people knew of the existence of "Teacher Luo", but in such a strange way.

The old fans of "Xiao Yu Yu" are confused, and they are asking what to do with the treasures of this year's Hanfu Festival? Who made it? They don't want to buy flowers made by plagiarists!

Fang Xu popped up again and solemnly introduced Miss Ru Ru Jie!

He implicitly said that he terminated his cooperation with Mr. Luo because he felt that Mr. Luo's character was not good, and invited the beautiful sister Ms. Ruru, who had studied the art of embossing in Russia, to work together to run "Xiao Yuyu Handmade Embossing", and would give back to fans with more perfect works.

Zhan Xi: “…”

rrmft0429 is jumping around every day, asking Xu Qingyan to explain, asking Huanshang Hanfu to explain, crying and saying that Xiyu is putting the blame on others, implying that she plagiarized? She didn't plagiarize, she just got the inspiration after collecting folk songs, and Teacher Luo must have read her Weibo before drawing those pictures, bullying her because she is a newcomer. Teacher Luo's painting skills are better than hers, but the plagiarism is too low-level!

Zhan Xi: “…”

It has to be said that because "Xiyu" has no evidence, and because "Xiaoyuyu" is an old store with a very good reputation that has never done anything wrong before, and because rrmft0429's logic is impeccable, the vast majority of netizens on Weibo support rrmft0429 and believe that Mr. Luo of Xiyu is a plagiarist.

Netizen 1: Just because you didn’t plagiarize before doesn’t mean you won’t plagiarize in the future. Maybe you’re just working on your own and suddenly you’ve run out of inspiration

Netizen 2: The victim has made it very clear. If it is not plagiarism, why would the victim ask for an explanation every day? If it is really not plagiarism, is it the victim who framed him? Did he watch too many TV dramas

Netizen 3: I believe in Xiaoyuyu anyway. I bought several flowers from them. They are so beautiful! Now I can't figure out who made them. It's a bit annoying, but I will continue to support Teacher Ruru in the future!

Netizen 4: Why hasn't Teacher Xu said anything? I'm still waiting for her response!

Netizen 5: I didn’t know what hot flower was before... After seeing these few melons, I’ve really opened my eyes. It turns out that plagiarism exists in every circle!

Zhan Xi: “…”

What moved her was that a small number of netizens believed her explanation. Most of them were senior fans of "Xiao Yu Yu" who were familiar with Luo Jingyu's design style and left messages to express their support.

There were also a few guests who had been received in person at the Maker Festival. They said they had met Teacher Luo and thought he was a very gentle and nice person. Then they were criticized by other netizens so badly that they didn't even recognize their own mother.

Most of the orders from the Taobao store have been refunded, and there are more than a hundred finished Hanfu Festival accessories left at home, which may never have a place to go.

After three days of rest, Zhan Xi's sequelae of concussion basically disappeared, and she was in better spirits and had a good appetite. Zhan Jie told her that his mother had returned after staying in Qiantang for two nights, and he was very angry and threatened to sever the mother-son relationship with them.

"I told her everything I knew, and I made up things I didn't know." Zhan Jie sighed on the phone, "I made Xiao Luo's job sound very impressive and praised him to make Mom accept it a little more. Of course, she wouldn't admit it. She was so embarrassed that day, mainly because my aunt was there, and Xiao Luo was still such a mess. The first impression was so bad! Mom asked me why he was beaten like that, and I made up a story that he was brave and courageous! Huanhuan, brother really helped you this time, didn't you? I was also shocked. I don't know why I helped you make up stories. This guy is obviously not a good person!"

Zhan Xi said, "Brother, don't be so stubborn. You know in your heart that he is a very good person."

"..." Zhan Jie asked, "Has his problem been resolved now?"

"No." Zhan Xi replied, "The Hanfu studio I cooperated with was going crazy and gave me a deadline of five days. If I couldn't explain it in five days, they would ask Xiaoyu to apologize on Weibo and admit to plagiarism."

Zhan Jie was surprised: "Is this possible? What if you don't agree?"

Zhan Xi said: "If they don't agree, they can sue us. The contract has already been signed. If they sue us, we will definitely lose and we will have to apologize in the end."

Zhan Jie asked: "Then do you agree?"

"I will never agree to that." Zhan Xi said calmly, "If you want Xiaoyu to admit to plagiarism, you will never be able to do that in your lifetime!"

"Maybe if he admits it and apologizes, he can continue to make it? If he loses the lawsuit, he will really have to quit the circle and have no future? Is it possible to just endure the humiliation and bear the burden?" Zhan Jie said tentatively.

Zhan Xi smiled: "Brother, you can lose the lawsuit and quit the circle or not, but admitting to plagiarism is absolutely impossible! If Luo Jingyu agrees, then I misjudged him. I believe he will never agree. He would rather quit the circle than admit to such a false accusation."

"You're right." Zhan Jie said, "If that's the case, I don't like him either."

The call was originally about the mother, but as the conversation went on the topic turned to Xiaoyu.

Zhan Xi knew that Xiaoyu’s problem was indeed more serious and concerned her more, and it was also because Xiaoyu’s recent condition really worried her.

He looked like he had nothing to do. He took care of the cat, grew flowers and plants, bought groceries and cooked at home every day. He even did housework with an injured hand. When Zhan Xi called him, he would smile at her.

But Zhan Xi knew that something was wrong with him.

Several times she saw him sitting in front of the workbench in a daze, staring at some embossing tools.

She also saw the trowel he threw away in the trash can. It was not broken at all, so she had to pick it up secretly.

He would suffer from insomnia at night, and Zhan Xi would sleep with him these days, and the two of them would "stare" at each other. When she woke up at night, she would pretend to be asleep and quietly open her eyes a little to look at him. Several times, she found Luo Jingyu staring at the ceiling with eyes wide open in the dark.

If she moved, he would immediately close his eyes and pretend to be asleep.

Zhan Xi was helpless. Xiaoyu was really stupid. He didn't know that people's breathing was different when they were pretending to sleep and when they were really asleep. He didn't know that he would snore softly when he was sleeping soundly. He didn't know what snoring was. He didn't make a sound when he was pretending to sleep. Did he think she wouldn't notice

He is under a lot of mental pressure.

Zhan Xi knew it and tried to comfort him, but it was of no use.

She tried very hard to understand Luo Jingyu's feelings and imagine how sad he was, but she knew that she could only understand a little bit, just like she was a hearing person and would never be able to understand how he felt living in a silent world.

He doesn't have many friends, and he is not used to talking to people. He likes to keep things to himself. He told Zhan Xi that Chen Liang is his best friend, but they have different personalities. Chen Liang is more outgoing and has many friends.

In the past, he would tell his worries to Luo Xiaomei, but after his sister got married, they met less and less often. Because he was not good at chatting online, the communication between the siblings gradually decreased.

After being with Zhan Xi, Luo Jingyu told her that he was very, very happy that he could share his feelings with someone he loved and felt less lonely.

But now, what was he thinking? Zhan Xi didn't know.

Every time I talk to him, he finds a reason to refuse.

No one knows how painful and confused Luo Jingyu is now. Zhan Xi even feels that if she hadn't been with him all the time, Xiaoyu might have collapsed long ago and might have really died together with Fang Xu.

He has been trying very hard to restrain himself. As the kindest and most innocent person in the world, being forced to this point, he might want to destroy everything, right

On the last day of summer vacation, Luo Jingyu received a WeChat message from Luo Xiaomei, asking him to come home for dinner.

The wound on his face had not yet healed fully, and fearing that his parents would worry, he replied that he was busy with work and would not go. As a result, Luo Xiaomei said she had something to tell him and asked him to make time to go.

Zhan Xi was worried, so Luo Jingyu showed her the phone. Zhan Xi hugged his waist and said to him, "If your family asks you what happened to your face, don't hide it from them. You've got such a big problem. Tell your parents and sister. They can help you resolve it. Do you understand?"

Luo Jingyu nodded and went to her parents' house after lunch.

Luo Xiaomei and Gao Yuan were already there. Seeing his bruised face, the whole family was shocked and asked him what happened. Luo Jingyu did not listen to Zhan Xi's words and lied to them that she had fallen on the road a while ago and hit her face. Luo Xiaomei obviously did not believe it, but no matter how she asked, Luo Jingyu had no other excuses, just insisted that she had fallen.

He refused to admit it no matter how hard he was beaten, and Luo Xiaomei had no choice but to press her brother down on the chair with her big belly. The five members of the family gathered around the table, and Luo Xiaomei told Luo Jingyu something.

Luo Jingyu never thought that Luo Xiaomei called him back for a family meeting.

The reason was that the results of the fetal genetic test she had done two weeks ago came out, showing that the baby in her belly also had a heterozygous mutation at the gjb2 gene site, which meant that, if nothing unexpected happened, the child would also be a congenital deafness patient.

Luo Mingsong and Yan Yajuan had already known about this, and their expressions were very solemn. Luo Jingyu was the last to know, and she stared at her sister blankly for a long time, and asked in sign language: Do you want to have an abortion

Luo Xiaomei and Gao Yuan looked at each other and held each other's hands. She shook her head at her brother and raised her hand to answer: No, your brother-in-law and I have decided to give birth to this child.

The straw that breaks the camel's back may be the last straw, but it may only take a word to break a fish.

The moment Luo Xiaomei's hands stopped, Luo Jingyu collapsed.
