Chp 1611: Will You Accept My Confession?

Ning Shu couldn’t exchange for guns, so she exchanged for fasting pills, water, and some basic medicine. That way, no matter what happened, she would be able to survive.

When she recalled the entrustor’s hatred and resentment, she knew that this task was probably another complicated one. Ning Shu took a deep breath and said to 2333, “Let’s start the task.”

Immediately, Ning Shu’s head started to spin. Since her soul was gradually becoming stronger, she could clearly feel her soul merging with the body.

It felt as if she was forcibly trying to stuff herself in it.

When Ning Shu’s soul had completely fused with the body, she opened her eyes, only to see a boy standing in front of her. This boy’s hair was slicked back with hair gel and he had some acne scattered across his face.

This boy was a young male student, but his body exuded the feeling of a man past his prime. He didn’t have any of the youthful vigor that was characteristic of young people, his gaze contained intense self-confidence and joy.

He looked just like someone who had just won five million in the lottery.

“Fellow classmate Chen Jianan, will you accept my confession?” said the boy standing in front of Ning Shu. A corner of his mouth was lifted up in a smile, and he seemed very personable.

He held a huge bouquet of roses in his hands. The roses even had drops of fresh dew on them.

Not far from him were a few boys, standing with their arms slung around each other’s shoulders. When they heard the male student confess, they roared with laughter and whistled towards Ning Shu and the male student.

Ning Shu raised her eyebrows. Did his self-confidence come from this bouquet of flowers?

When she saw this person’s face, she felt an intense loathing rise up in her heart. Then she realized that this person was probably the damned player that the girl mentioned.

Ning Shu silently recited the heart-clearing chant to suppress the hatred gushing out of her heart.

Yang Yuhui saw that Ning Shu was silent. When he confessed earlier, the other party had also just stared blankly at him. Now, she didn’t even say a single word in reply. Was she looking down on him?

“Chen Jianan, please go out with me,” repeated Yang Yuhui. His expression was sincere, but there was an unconcealed arrogance in his eyes.

“Say yes.”

“Say yes.”

Several of the boys surrounding them began to make noise, attracting the attention of the people passing by.

Yang Yuhui looked at Ning Shu and tried to stuff the roses into her hands, but she took a step back and didn’t take them.

Yang Yuhui's expression instantly turned unsightly. When he turned around, he saw that his roommates looked like they were watching a good show, and he felt even more embarrassed. He said to Ning Shu, “What do you mean? Please give me an answer.”

“I refuse,” said Ning Shu coldly.

“Hahahaha…”

“That’s what I said…”

“I won. Pay up.”

Several of Yang Yuhui’s roommates suddenly started to laugh.

Yang Yuhui’s expression immediately stiffened and his gaze turned cold. Without pausing, he turned and left, throwing the huge rose bouquet into a trash can on the side of the road.

After all, he was extremely arrogant. If she refused, it was her loss.

Ning Shu saw that there were many people looking at her. She simply ignored them and sat down by the flowerbed to receive the storyline.

This story was about a person becoming a mega-superstar after their rebirth. The protagonist of this story was Yang Yuhui, the boy who had just confessed to her with flowers.

In Yang Yuhui’s previous life, he spent most of his life as a mediocre, unimportant, and unqualified assistant director who didn’t have any achievements to his name. To put it bluntly, he was an assistant director whose real job was to just be a handyman that ran errands but never got to produce a work of his own.

Yang Yuhui blamed the heavens for being unjust and believed that his talent had not been used fully.

Chp 1612: Reborn in a Parallel World

One day, when Yang Yuhui was on the filming set, he was killed in an accidental explosion. After he woke up, he found that he had been reborn, and in a parallel world at that.

None of the people around him had changed. He was still a student in Communication University’s Department of Film Production.

But, this world’s worldview wasn’t the same.

In this world, China was a very strong country. It had not undergone colonization, and had kept growing stronger to become one of the most powerful world powers.

But, this world lacked entertainment. It didn’t have any of the classics that his previous world had. There were no Tang poems, no Song poems, no Four Classic Novels of Chinese literature, no Jin Yong’s wuxia novels, no classic songs, no Titanic, no 3D Avatar, and no popular TV or variety shows.

The entertainment industry was underdeveloped. It didn’t have the previous world’s worldwide popular games like World of Warcraft or Crossfire. Even the lucrative Blizzard Entertainment game company had not yet been established. Moreover, the esports industry simply wasn’t a thing.

In short, everything that could be censored was censored.

What excited Yang Yuhui the most was that he actually had an inbuilt search engine, similar to Baidu, in his brain and it allowed him to search for things in the other world.

Songs, TV shows, movies, and games were all just one search away.

He could casually write classic songs one after another, and everyone would become moved to the point of tears and obsessed with them after listening to it just once. He could even shoot a couple of popular TV shows effortlessly.

All Yang Yuhui had to do was copy whatever the search engine showed him word for word, and it’d be done.

If he wrote novels, every novel would have tens of thousands of people fighting to get copies of it.

If he shot films, he’d make blockbusters one after another and countless stars would want to act for him.

If he sang, his songs would shoot straight to the top of all the ranking lists.

In short, Yang Yuhui could do anything. He could be a director, an actor, or a game developer.

Not only did he take things from the other world for his own purposes, he even shamelessly took credit for them.

Oh, China’s entire entertainment circle underwent earth-shaking changes thanks to Yang Yuhui's arrival.

He was praised as an all-round genius for changing the entire Chinese entertainment circle’s system. He was the supreme entertainment god who had the ability to change someone’s entire life with a single sentence.

Furthermore, the originally rather ugly Yang Yuhui relied on the things provided by the system to become more and more handsome.

After gaining success, recognition, and charm, Yang Yuhui attracted all kinds of beauties.

The pure school princess, an intellectual teacher, a tsundere loli, a noble aristocratic lady, a gorgeous female president, a bold policewoman, a domineering gangster girl, a superbly beautiful celebrity...

One of his fangirls was even the princess of a country with a constitutional monarchy, and because of his ideal life he became the public enemy of men all around the world.

The loser received a golden finger, counterattacked, and got all the girls, reaching the pinnacle of life.

Ning Shu: ...

Dang, why don't you just ascend to heaven?

Ning Shu suspected that this world was actually Yang Yuhui's imagination space. Otherwise, how could this kind of mindblowing thing happen?

The owner of this body was called Chen Jianan. She was the third eldest in her family. Her family originally hoped for Chen Jianan to be a boy, but it was still a little girl that came out. So, Chen Jianan’s grandmother gave her the name Jianan and hoped for a boy after her.

Chen Jianan's parents held their breaths and desperately prayed for a son. After having Chen Jianan, they finally gave birth to a son.

Chen Jianan was Communication University’s school princess. Beautiful girls were as numerous as clouds in a school like Communication University. Since most of the girls attending the university would join the entertainment circle in the future, it went without saying that they were drop dead gorgeous.

As a school princess, Chen Jianan was naturally very beautiful. However, there were several school princesses in this school, not just one.

In his last life, Yang Yuhui had a secret crush on Chen Jianan. However, Yang Yuhui's family’s circumstances weren’t good, and he wasn’t handsome either, so naturally, he felt inferior and couldn’t even say a word to Chen Jianan back then.

Translator: LiLi

#LiLi’s comments: Ah, Jianan… in Chinese, it’s 嘉男. The first character means ‘auspicious’, and the second character means ‘male’ or ‘boy’. Basically, her name was completely meant to wish for a boy.

Chp 1613: As He Pleased in This World

Thanks to the system’s backing, the reborn Yang Yuhui was filled with confidence and felt that he had the ability to pursue the girl whom he had a crush on in his previous life.

With this search system, he could go all out and climb as high as he pleased in this world.

Money would come rolling in from all directions. Things like fame, status, and women were also no longer out of his reach.

Even though he knew that Chen Jianan had a boyfriend, he still felt that he could successfully steal her away. If her judgment was sound, there was no way she wouldn’t choose him.

Yang Yuhui declared that he would woo the school princess, Chen Jianan, but his dormitory roommates didn’t believe him. They thought he must’ve gone crazy. Why would Chen Jianan toss away her perfectly good second-generation rich boyfriend for a poor bastard like him? So his dormitory roommates even rowdily started to place bets.

Yang Yuhui was brimming with confidence, so he bought some flowers and didn’t waste any time in confessing to Chen Jianan.

Of course, he was rejected by her. She didn’t even know who he was, so how could she agree to be his girlfriend? Besides, she already had a boyfriend.

If Chen Jianan agreed to be with every boy who confessed to her, then how many boyfriends would she have?

When Chen Jianan’s boyfriend found out about this, he naturally went to warn Yang Yuhui not to pester his girlfriend.

This was after Yang Yuhui got the system. He had already relied on the search system to sell two songs’ lyrics. His ego had blown out of proportion and it was very close to bursting, so when he was humiliated like this by Chen Jianan's boyfriend, Li Xinze, he couldn’t take it.

The low self-esteem and arrogance rooted in Yang Yuhui’s blood fueled his hatred towards the condescending Li Xinze.

Yang Yuhui greatly despised rich people. Li Xinze reminded him of his previous life, when he had to desperately grovel in front of those producers just so he could film a movie or TV series.

And that was how the grudge between them started.

The rest of the story was about the loser counterattacking and beating up the second-generation rich kid, and the second-generation rich kid courting death in all kinds of stupid ways, repeatedly finding people to try and avenge his lost reputation.

Li Xinze's family ran an entertainment company, so Yang Yuhui used his resources to fund the Li family’s rival company.

Under the fire of Yang Yuhui’s attack, the Li family soon went bankrupt. Li Xinze's father committed suicide by jumping off a building, and Li Xinze broke his legs in a car accident.

Meanwhile, Yang Yuhui gained a firm foothold in the entertainment industry, and his popularity increased steadily. He could effortlessly write screenplays and all kinds of classic novels at the same time. In short, he was omnipotent.

His writing style also changed with ease. He could film literary romance films, but he could also film silly Mo Lei Tau commercial movies.

Both of Li Xinze’s legs were broken, his family went bankrupt, and he had not even an ounce of hope left. He was completely reliant on Chen Jianan’s care.

In order to take care of Li Xinze, Chen Jianan worked laboriously at various jobs. Once, she met the infinitely well-off Yang Yuhui at a high-end club.

Yang Yuhui became dazed for a second when he saw Chen Jianan. Then, he insultingly stuffed a handful of banknotes in her chest before swaggering off.

Among the women who adored Yang Yuhui, one of them was a gang leader’s daughter. She was troubled by Chen Jianan, especially since she saw that Chen Jianan was so beautiful. So, she ordered her subordinates to lacerate Chen Jianan’s face.

The gangsters had wanted to rape Chen Jianan too, but Chen Jianan was carrying pepper spray on her and used it to escape.

Li Xinze saw that his girlfriend had been disfigured because of him. His father died because of Yang Yuhui, and his girlfriend, who originally had a bright future ahead of her, had her beautiful face ruined.

Li Xinze felt more dead than alive like this, so he planned to die and take Yang Yuhui down with him. It was unknown by what means he used, but he managed to acquire a bomb to blow up Yang Yuhui’s company building.

Naturally, Li Xinze met a miserable end. He was thrown into the prison and tortured to death by a group of prisoners.

When Chen Jianan went to collect Li Xinze’s body, she found that he was covered in scars. He was thin to the point of looking like a bag of skin and bones, and his anus was leaking filth.

Chp 1614: Written by Ghostwriters

Chen Jianan felt that she was the one who implicated Li Xinze. Everything began when Yang Yuhui confessed to her.

She hated that high and mighty man whose news was broadcasted on TV every day.

Chen Jianan gathered all of Yang Yuhui’s works and discovered that every one of them had a different style. Even his classics had different writing styles.

He could write with Jin Yong’s majestic, simple, and elegant words, but he could also write with Gu Long’s sense of romanticism.

He pioneered a variety of genres.

A person’s work more or less showed that person’s own, unique style. Yang Yuhui’s style was simply inconsistent to the point that it dazzled the onlookers’ eyes.

The foreign films he made also had foreign conceptualization at its core. They had just been covered in a Chinese skin, nothing more.

Chen Jianan made a post on the Internet, saying that all of Yang Yuhui’s works were written by ghostwriters. She also listed various pieces of evidence.

This post garnered a lot of attention. When Yang Yuhui saw this post, he couldn’t help but panic.

The system was his greatest support so naturally, Yang Yuhui felt a strong sense of killing intent towards this poster.

The gang leader’s daughter detested the fact that someone slandered Yang Yuhui this way, so she found Chen Jianan through various means before having her raped and killed. Then, she had Chen Jianan thrown into the sea to become food for fish.

Chen Jianan’s wish: Let Yang Yuhui, this scoundrel, be left with nothing. He should be trampled on forever, possess nothing, and suffer hardships. Protect Li Xinze, and change Li Xinze’s tragic fate.

Ning Shu was dripping with sweat by the time she finished accepting the storyline. To say nothing of Yang Yuhui’s nature-defying golden finger, his harem’s network alone was very terrifying.

There were princesses and multiple daughters of the higher class. They alone were enough to fully protect Yang Yuhui.

In any case, this world didn’t have any other outstanding men, so all the outstanding women flocked to Yang Yuhui, attracted by his heroic aura.

Although they were under a monogamous system, these women actually acquiesced to the existence of his other women. They got along with each other like real sisters. Truly harmonious.

They would rather be the concubine of someone strong than the wife of someone weak.

Ning Shu’s forehead was dotted with cold sweat as she headed to her dormitory. Fortunately, it hadn’t been long since Yang Yuhui’s rebirth when she started the task.

Yang Yuhui’s awesomeness had yet to explode into outer space. She still had some leeway at the moment.

Once Ning Shu reached the dormitory, she went to take a bath. Then, she carefully recalled every detail of the storyline, recording everything Yang Yuhui did, the songs he penned, and the scripts he wrote.

It’d be fun to watch Yang Yuhui extremely confidently send something out, only to find that it had long been published in this world.

Without the system, Yang Yuhui would have nothing. He wasn’t worth anything. All he did was rely on the abundant resources of the other parallel world.

He barely had any ability, but he still wanted to ascend to the heavens. Relying on his golden finger to reach the pinnacle of life wouldn’t change Yang Yuhui's true ugly, inferior inner self.

Ning Shu was writing down Yang Yuhui’s glorious resume, life chronicles, and his achievements and works, when suddenly her phone rang.

Ning Shu picked up the call. A candid voice made its way to her ear from the other end of the phone. “Jianan, I heard someone confessed to you.”

It was Li Xinze, Chen Jianan's boyfriend. Such a good young man, but he fell to that point because of Yang Yuhui’s retaliation.

Ning Shu: →_→

This was the first boyfriend she ever had, but he wasn’t her boyfriend.

Chp 1615: Just Making a Report

It hadn’t been long since Yang Yuhui’s confession before Li Xinze found out about it and called Ning Shu to ask about it.

Ning Shu said, “It's just some baffling person. You can ignore him.”

“These kinds of people are just asking for a beating. He clearly knew that you were my girlfriend, but he still did this. He was clearly looking for trouble.” Li Xinze’s tone was very bad.

Ning Shu had never had a creature like a boyfriend before. So, what should she say at a time like this?

“Ignore him. If you argue with him, it’ll lower your own reputation.” Ning Shu tilted her head and lifted her shoulder, wedging the phone in place as she wrote stuff down on a piece of paper.

“Don't worry about him.” She would try to delay the conflict between Yang Yuhui and Li Xinze for as long as possible. Now, she had to think about how to deal with Yang Yuhui.

Li Xinze fell silent for a while. “Fine, I’ll do as you say.”

“Okay, then I’m hanging up.” Ning Shu hung up.

Li Xinze: ...

What was with this indifferent manner like she was just making a report?

Ning Shu scribbled her notes and drawings on the paper, while also looking into Yang Yuhui’s next plans.

Since Yang Yuhui was still a sophomore and had yet to leave campus, he wanted to publish another world-renowned online novel on the Internet soon.

He only needed to search for the novel in his head and type it out. He could effortlessly finish several chapters in just a day’s time.

Ning Shu thought for a while. She had to publish the novel before Yang Yuhui did.

Fortunately, Ning Shu knew the storyline. Plus, after Li Xinze’s death, Chen Jianan had closely studied all of Yang Yuhui’s works.

There was quite a lot of information in Ning Shu’s brain.

She turned on the laptop. She had hacked into Yang Yuhui’s laptop through the campus network and the screen showed Yang Yuhui’s laptop’s interface on it. Yang Yuhui’s laptop had some movies, and in one folder, she found quite a few manuscripts. Furthermore, it wasn’t for just one project.

All these texts were written in different styles. It seemed that Yang Yuhui’s ambitions weren’t small.

Ning Shu hacked Yang Yuhui’s manuscripts and copied them to her laptop. Then, she deleted all the manuscripts in his laptop.

Ning Shu looked at this large number of manuscripts and created an account to upload them onto the Internet before Yang Yuhui could.

Ning Shu didn’t plan to make money from this. She just wanted to make Yang Yuhui feel sick.

Ning Shu very easily published the novels on the Internet by copying and pasting.

If she published them first, Yang Yuhui would no longer be able to claim these novels as his own to make money because they already existed.

All of these novels were tremendously popular for a while in that world. They were carefully selected by Yang Yuhui, and were smash hits that could even be made into TV series and movies.

Ning Shu was stretching her neck after doing all this when all the other people living in the dormitory returned.

“Chen Jianan, I heard that someone from the film production department confessed to you. Why didn’t you accept?” A girl asked Ning Shu. This girl had a good figure, and most importantly, her personality was very refreshing and pure.

This girl was named Fang Menghan. She would join Yang Yuhui’s harem in the end. Later, as Yang Yuhui gradually revealed his outstanding talent in school and became an influential figure, Fang Menghan mocked Chen Jianan for being short-sighted and judging people by their appearance.

When Yang Yuhui confessed to Chen Jianan at the beginning, she even refused aloofly.

Ning Shu scoffed. If Yang Yuhui confessed to Fang Menghan right now, would Fang Menghan accept?

Ha. Ha. Ha....

Ning Shu said with an indifferent expression, “I already have a boyfriend. Why should I accept? If he confessed to you, would you accept?”

Chp 1616: Luck Is Also a Type of Strength

Fang Menghan curled her lips in disdain and changed the topic. “You’re really lucky to have Li Xinze as your boyfriend. His family owns an entertainment company. As soon as you graduate, you’ll be able to get the female lead role. It’s much better than us miserable people.”

Fang Menghan’s tone was sour and she was just one step away from saying that Ning Shu was in a relationship with a financial backer.

Ning Shu looked at Fang Menghan. Fang Menghan was willing to share her man with other women, just like a mistress. Wasn’t she also in a relationship with a financial backer?

Yang Yuhui’s women were all merely his mistresses.

Fang Menghan only saw the convenient benefits Chen Jianan got thanks to her relationship with Li Xinze at present, but she didn’t see how it was for her when Li Xinze was in dire straits. Chen Jianan stood by Li Xinze steadfastly through thick and thin.

Would Fang Menghan be able to do that? Love has always been exclusive, between only two people, yet Fang Menghan could endure Yang Yuhui having so many other women. Wasn’t that because she was after other things?

“Yeah, I’ve got pretty good luck. Luck is also a type of strength,” said Ning Shu lightly.

The original host Chen Jianan and Fang Menghan weren’t really on the best terms. The two were both school beauties, but Fang Menghan felt that Chen Jianan was being kept by a financial backer, while she herself was a pure lotus growing unsullied out of the mud.

Frankly, it was just hatred born out of envy and jealousy.

Ning Shu never considered becoming good friends with Fang Menghan.

Their conversation fell through. Fang Menghan went to the bathroom to freshen up with an irritated expression, muttering under her breath, “What’re you showing off for?”

Ning Shu decided to anonymously send the classic songs Yang Yuhui wrote to Li Xinze’s company.

That way, Yang Yuhui would lose his opportunity. If these songs were already in existence, could Yang Yuhui still claim that he had created them and that they belonged to him?

“Chen Jianan, your boyfriend’s fighting with someone. Hurry and go see!” A girl ran into the dormitory, out of breath, and told Ning Shu, “At the gymnasium.”

Ning Shu was taken aback for a moment, before realizing right after that the boyfriend the girl was talking about was Li Xinze.

Ning Shu turned off the laptop and went to the gymnasium.

As soon as she walked in, she saw a crowd of people gathered together. She could hear several of them swearing too. Ning Shu hurriedly walked over.

Though Li Xinze was being dragged back by people, he still managed to throw a kick at Yang Yuhui. Yang Yuhui was also being held back by the crowd, and was forced to take this kick.

Yang Yuhui’s expression was extremely ugly. He glared at Li Xinze with an incredibly bone-chilling expression.

“What are you looking at me like that for? So what if I kicked you? You pestered my girlfriend. I wasn’t planning to bother with you, but what did you mean by purposely provoking me?” Li Xinze’s brows carried an air of arrogance as he looked down on Yang Yuhui.

Li Xinze’s family was well-off and he was also handsome. However, the Yang Yuhui opposite him was a bit unsightly. His basketball uniform had a footprint on it, his whole face was flushed, and there were obvious pimple marks on his face.

The current Yang Yuhui was clearly being suppressed by Li Xinze’s grandeur.

Humiliation flashed in Yang Yuhui’s eyes. “Aren’t you just relying on your family’s money? If you didn’t have money, you wouldn’t be able to be so cocky.”

“My family has money because my dad can make money. My life’s good. You can’t accept that?” Li Xinze sneered and said, “Clearly, you long for it, but you still act like you hate the rich. Isn’t that just disgusting?”

Ning Shu: →_→

Li Xinze’s tongue was also sharp.

Yang Yuhui narrowed his eyes and said with powerful, resonating words, “Don’t regret it.”

Li Xinze declined to comment.

Yang Yuhui turned to leave when he saw Ning Shu, who was standing not far away. Loathing and despise flashed across his face.

Yang Yuhui left. His dormmates also followed him and left.

Li Xinze saw Ning Shu and walked towards her. “Jianan.”

Ning Shu swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a gulp. She wasn’t quite sure how she should act towards Li Xinze. She forced a smile and asked, “Are you okay?”

Chp 1617: Why Did You Fight Him?

If Li Xinze was a scumbag, Ning Shu would naturally turn and leave. However, Li Xinze was the person the original host wanted to protect.

“Why did you fight him?” asked Ning Shu.

Li Xinze brushed away his hair with a hand. When he lifted his wrist, his armpit hair was revealed.

Ning Shu silently took two steps back.

“This really isn’t my fault. We were playing basketball, and he came up to me, wanting to play a match with us. When playing, he purposefully smashed the basketball on someone else’s body. He even pushed Jiaozi to the ground. That son of a b*tch definitely did that on purpose. I haven’t even found him to look for trouble yet, but he came to find me first.”

“Don’t you think that this person’s really crazy?” said Li Xinze. “I don’t know what he’s being so haughty about.”

The current Yang Yuhui had gone crazy from the abundance of resources at his disposal thanks to his entertainment system.

“Then, are you injured?” Ning Shu sized Li Xinze up.

“Of course I’m fine. I’m so powerful and mighty. How could I not be able to beat a hunchback? Besides, I have so many people on my side to help me, while very few people on his side are willing to lift a hand against me,” said Li Xinze smugly.

Li Xinze had a strong and healthy figure. There was no way he’d lose in a fight. Moreover, people would praise him no matter what he did because of his family background. Even if they didn’t praise him, they would stay as far away as possible from him.

The entertainment circle was a place where close attention was paid to relationships.

“In the future, you should stay a little further away from this person. Avoid him as much as possible,” said Ning Shu. Now, she had to think of a way to deal with Yang Yuhui.

“Could it be that you think I’m afraid of him? No way. Even if I can’t beat him, there’s still Jiaozi. Would a whole group of people be unable to defeat a student from the film production department?” The Jiaozi that Li Xinze spoke of was a student with a family background on par with Li Xinze’s.

They could only be counted as a pack of scoundrels. When the Li family went bankrupt, she never saw those people lending a hand, for fear that Yang Yuhui would go after them.

Li Xinze frowned and asked, “Jianan, you don’t like that guy, right?”

Ning Shu: →_→

“There’s nothing between us,” said Ning Shu.

“You’re pretty dirty. You should head back and wash up.” Ning Shu didn’t have much to talk about with Li Xinze.

Li Xinze said, “I’ll walk you back to the dorm first.”

“No need. Go wash up. I’ll head back by myself.” Ning Shu was very polite. “Do you want to leave first?”

“You leave first,” said Li Xinze.

“I’ll off then.” Ning Shu turned and left.

Li Xinze: ...

When Ning Shu returned to the dormitory, Fang Menghan asked her, “What happened? Is everything settled now? I heard that your boyfriend got into a fight with someone.

“What could ever necessitate coming to blows? This is the problem with second-generation rich kids. Who knows if they’ll resort to domestic violence in the future? They never know to respect women.”

“You didn’t hear it from me, but with people like Li Xinze, there’s no telling whether he’ll still remember you after he graduates. After that, he will enter his family’s company, meet numerous beautiful actresses and celebrities and experience the world of sensual pleasures.”

Ning Shu looked expressionlessly at Fang Menghan, who was chattering away without stop. She said coldly, “You seem to be very concerned about what’s going on between me and Li Xinze?”

Chp 1618: Don’t Read Into It Too Much

Fang Menghan was just too meddlesome.

Plus, Fang Menghan and Chen Jianan’s relationship wasn’t very good. They didn’t even have any friends in common. Though they were from the same dormitory, their relationship was so bad they wouldn’t exchange more than a couple sentences with each other occasionally.

Fang Menghan seemed as if she was just trying to help her, but all of her words were an attempt to incite disharmony between Chen Jianan and Li Xinze.

People who were deeply in love constantly let their imaginations run wild. Anyone who heard this kind of words would definitely feel uncomfortable and unable to help but suspect their lover.

In the end, Fang Menghan was just jealous that Chen Jianan had such a good boyfriend. After graduation, she’d be able to skip so many years of struggling in the entertainment circle.

“This is between me and Li Xinze. What’s it got to do with you?” said Ning Shu indifferently.

Embarrassment flashed across Fang Menghan’s face. She immediately replied breezily, “It doesn’t have anything to do with me. I was just judging the matter as it stood. I just said it in passing, so don’t read into it too much.”

See, these kinds of people really didn’t know how to hold a pleasant conversation. Fang Menghan made people feel revolted on purpose. The words had already been said, but then she told her to not read into it too much. If you didn’t frickin’ say it, would I read into it too much?

“Don’t worry. I definitely won’t think about it much,” said Ning Shu.

Resentment flashed through Fang Menghan’s eyes.

NIng Shu turned on the computer and continued writing the song lyrics. These were all songs that Yang Yuhui had produced before. The songs were all celebrated classics in the other world.

Ning Shu’s fingers moved swiftly across the keyboard as she typed. Fang Menghan moved over and looked towards Ning Shu’s laptop, so Ning Shu shut the laptop lid. Fang Menghan hadn’t seen a thing, but when she saw Ning Shu acting this way, her eyes flashed, and she laughed ambiguously at Ning Shu.

“Be honest. Are you in an online relationship? What do you have to hide from others?” Fang Menghan stroked her chin as if thinking. She already looked very pure and pleasant, but with this movement, she looked even more beautiful and charming.

“Do you not like Li Xinze anymore?” asked Fang Menghan.

Ning Shu was really extremely annoyed at this girl. Fang Menghan had set her sights on Chen Jianan’s boyfriend, or rather, she was simply unwilling to see Chen Jianan doing well, so without further thought, she slapped on the label of having an online relationship on Ning Shu’s head.

“Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone else.” Fang Menghan acted like a good bestie.

“I said, you’re really annoying. Are we close? It’s none of your business if I’m in an online relationship,” said Ning Shu bluntly. “Why should I let you see what’s in my laptop?”

Fang Menghan’s complexion alternated between green and white. Then, she turned around and left.

Ning Shu packaged the songs she had already written and sent them to the Li family's company.

On the other end, Yang Yuhui left the gym with a gloomy expression. He and a few of his dormmates looked at each other for a while before they finally told Yang Yuhui, “What’s gotten into you recently?”

His dormmates felt that recently, Yang Yuhui had been behaving like a chuunibyou, acting like he was so amazing. This was the so-called legendary ‘pompous ass’ aura.

The Yang Yuhui from before didn’t have much of a sense of existence, but recently, he bought flowers, confessed to a school beauty who had a boyfriend, and provoked Li Xinze.

“I’ll say, Yang Yuhui, your actions today were a little impulsive. Offending Li Xinze can only be bad for people like us, who are studying in the film director department. Put nicely, directors may be creative visionaries, but the reality is, they are just money-making tools for companies. That’s just the way things are in the entertainment industry,” said one of Yang Yuhui’s roommates.

“Don’t kick up such a fuss over a woman. This kind of stuff happens too often in Communication University. Who knows how many luxury vehicles come every afternoon to pick up female students only to return to drop them off in the evening.”

Yang Yuhui didn’t pay any attention to his roommate’s words. He wasn’t afraid of Li Xinze at all.

If he couldn’t be a film director, he could be something else. With the search system, any random thing he took out would be worth money. As long as he had money, there was nothing he couldn’t do.

With money, he could film movies and TV shows. Any random business idea could make him rich.

Yang Yuhui secretly felt invigorated inside. He had already sold off two songs, so his bank account had some money in it now. At least he didn’t have to worry about his school fees anymore. Plus, he could even make some investments.

Chp 1619: Disappeared Without a Trace

Though Yang Yuhui didn’t care about Li Xinze, he was very angry with Chen Jianan. He felt that he was really silly to have had a crush on Chen Jianan for so long.

Really stupid!

That Chen Jianan was just a manipulative bitch. A vain, scheming bitch. She would definitely regret it one day.

Yang Yuhui returned to his dormitory and turned on the laptop. Since he was still in school, he would first use novels to gather funds. Yang Yuhui had already planned out his future. He would use the time he was in school to earn all the money he could.

Writing novels, writing songs, writing screenplays, these were all an endless stream of wealth.

But when Yang Yuhui turned on his laptop, he couldn’t find his manuscripts. His heart suddenly started to thud heavily as he searched through every folder, looking for his manuscripts.

But all the manuscripts had disappeared without a trace.

What the frick was going on.

There were so many manuscripts. He had even stayed up late writing some, with infinite anticipation and enthusiasm. Since he knew they’d be popular, he had been brimming with energy while writing them. But now, the manuscripts had disappeared!

Disappeared! Disappeared!!!??

Yang Yuhui was so mad that he wanted to smash his laptop. He angrily interrogated his roommates, “Did you guys use my laptop? The stuff in my laptop disappeared.”

Yang Yuhui’s roommates looked at each other in confusion, then shook their heads and said, “We didn’t touch your laptop at all. Wasn’t your laptop always on your cabinet?”

Yang Yuhui had bought the laptop recently. He treated it just like it was a treasure, so how could anyone possibly get near his computer?

The moment something happened, Yang Yuhui immediately started to yell at his roommates. It made them all very unhappy.

Yang Yuhui was about to blow his top. The stuff he had worked so hard on had just disappeared.

The search system in his head could only let him search for information. It couldn’t copy and paste. All those words had been typed out by him one by one.

“If it wasn’t you guys, how could the stuff in my laptop disappear?” Yang Yuhui couldn’t repress his inner panic.

This was already his second failure. The first failure was when he confessed to Chen Jianan. He had been so confident only to end up getting his face slapped.

When he had been humiliated that way by Li Xinze in the gymnasium, he already felt stifled.

Now, his manuscripts had also gone missing. How come nothing he did went smoothly?

Since he had a system, it should be like he was being aided by the gods.

Yang Yuhui furrowed his brows tightly before asking again, “Who the hell used my laptop?”

Everything else was there. It was just the manuscripts that disappeared. Yang Yuhui heavily suspected that someone else saw these manuscripts and stole them.

In Yang Yuhui’s last life, he mingled among the entertainment circle’s lowest rung of society, so he was very clear on the dark side of things. Once his manuscripts disappeared, his first reaction was that someone had seen them and wanted to take the manuscripts for themself.

When Yang Yuhui’s roommates saw him looking like he wanted to devour someone, they were baffled. One of them sneered and said, “Yang Yuhui, you aren’t taking your anger out on us because you were mistreated by Li Xinze, are you? Who would use your laptop? You’re being really unreasonable. Have you lost it or something?”

“What did you say?” Yang Yuhui’s eyes were bloodshot. “Say that one more time.”

“So what if I said it? You’ve lost it.” His roommate wasn’t willing to take even a single step back.

The two looked like they were about to start fighting, so the others held them back. “Calm down.”

“Yang Yuhui, we didn’t touch your laptop. Go look for the stuff in your laptop yourself.”

Yang Yuhui rubbed his forehead, feeling a little vexed. Then he turned his laptop on again and carefully looked through the folders. Finally, he gave up. His manuscripts were really gone.

Chp 1620: These People Were Ingrates

Yang Yuhui was trembling with anger. In the end, he could only search for those novels in his mind again and slowly start writing them all over again.

Yang Yuhui stayed up until midnight in order to complete those manuscripts quickly.

“It’s already midnight, but you’re still not letting us sleep. Stop banging on the keyboard!” said his roommate resentfully. The light from the laptop as well as the noisy typing sounds coming from his keyboard ticked off his roommates greatly.

Yang Yuhui’s face turned gloomy. With the light from the laptop illuminating his face, he looked very terrifying.

Originally, he wanted to rope his roommates in too when he started developing, since they had been roommates for two lives already.

But now, it seemed that he had thought too much into it. These people were ingrates.

Yang Yuhui now felt that he should be flattered and praised by everyone. If these people were willing to go through thick and thin with him, he would definitely give them lots of benefits.

Plus, these people all developed well in the entertainment circle. Every single one of them had their own works to their name. Yang Yuhui wanted to bring these people under him as his subordinates, and in the future, he would give them a slightly better script and let them become famous.

But they had given this up.

Yang Yuhui turned off his laptop and locked it into his cabinet.

When the others saw his overly cautious manner, they couldn’t help but sneer.

Another music company wanted Yang Yuhui’s song lyrics, and they offered a pretty generous price too. However, Yang Yuhui wasn’t very satisfied with the price. If it weren’t for the fact that he didn’t have enough money, he wouldn’t sell those lyrics so cheaply.

But right now, he didn’t have enough resources to produce his own albums.

Yang Yuhui wrote a few not so well-known songs and gave them to the music company. He left the classic songs for himself. There was no way he would give them to anyone else.

Especially not when the price was so low.

Like this, Yang Yuhui gained a sum of money, and his depressed mood lightened.

Yang Yuhui spent all his time on the manuscripts, and after working late into the night for two months, he finally managed to finish rushing them out.

He immediately went to publish it onto the web, full of joy and expectation. But when he entered the novel’s name into the search bar, he was told that this name already existed.

Yang Yuhui was taken aback. What the hell!?

Only he knew this novel’s name. How could there be other people whose novels had the same name as his?

Yang Yuhui looked up that novel and found that this novel had long been published. The content was also exactly the same as his.

Yang Yuhui reeled from the shock, feeling as if he had been hit by a hammer. How was this possible? He had confirmed that this world didn’t have these novels. What was going on right now?

Yang Yuhui had an ominous feeling about this situation. As if possessed, he looked up the other novels. All of them returned results, and even all the authors’ pen names were different.

Yang Yuhui’s hand started trembling as he held the mouse.

These were definitely his novels, but they had been released online earlier by someone else. It also happened to have the same content that his novels had. No more, no less.

These novels were very popular and had a lot of readers.

Under the novel’s comment section, Yang Yuhui typed ‘This is a copy of my novel. This was the novel I wrote. It’s mine!!!!’

This time, Yang Yuhui couldn’t repress his anger and smashed his laptop.

First, the original manuscripts disappeared so he had already been really angry. Then, after working very hard on quickly rewriting the manuscripts, he found out now that the novels had already been released.

At the same time, Yang Yuhui’s heart had an ineffable sense of lack of self-confidence. Could there be other reborn people in this parallel world?

On the other hand, Ning Shu was drinking water as she read the review that Yang Yuhui had left with tears of blood. Even through the screen, Ning Shu could sense Yang Yuhui vomiting blood.
