    Asianovel

    The world's first crowdsourcing-driven asian bl novel translation community

    Wen Xu's Weibo account was registered when he was in junior high school, and during that time he would often post his own novels or essays on it.

    Although there are no fans compared to now, Wen Xu still writes with gusto, which is a small world for self-entertainment at that time.

    But after he changed to the tuba named "Yu Youwen", Wen Xu never told anyone that he had a trumpet.Even if she casually mentioned it to Duan Chenyi before, she never told him the exact account number.

    What's more, in order to avoid his three-dimensional life from affecting his writing life, Wen Xu rarely even shared his pseudonym with those around him.

    How did you know that sincerity?

    Wen Xu's brain reacted quickly for two seconds, and subconsciously asked, "Which junior high school did you go to before?"

    Hearing Wen Xu questioning him one after another, Duan Chenyi smiled and said calmly, "Because I know your pen name."

    As he said that, Duan Chenyi took out his mobile phone and showed it to Wen Xu, "I want to apologize to you first, when you were writing something in the dormitory, I accidentally saw your Weibo account."

    "I know it's bad to peek at other people's mobile phone screens, but I just ran into them by accident." Duan Chenyi lowered his eyes and opened his Weibo, "Then I searched on Weibo and foundYou are Yu Youwen himself."

    "When I clicked on your homepage, there was a column of similar people recommended below. I swiped my hand and clicked in a garbled account."

    "Later, I found a lot of early essays in that account, and one of them was the story that Lu Yuan said you plagiarized."

    Duan Chenyi handed her mobile phone to Wen Xu, and motioned him to look at it, "At that time... when I saw the picture posted by Lu Yuan on the forum, I immediately thought of this account, so I learned that this isYour trumpet."

    "Xiaoxu...will you blame me?" Duan Chenyi's tone was a little guilty, and the movement of holding the phone was also trembling slightly.

    Wen Xu lowered his eyes, seeing all these actions in his eyes.

    He didn't speak, and after thinking for a moment, he turned around and logged in with the string of account numbers and passwords that Duan Chenyi sent to him.

    With the correct password, login is naturally smooth sailing.

    Wen Xu sighed in his heart with the string of accounts he hadn't logged in for a long time.

    "I don't blame you." He answered Duan Chenyi.

    "You also helped me get back my account and password, so I've made up for it."

    "Really?" Duan Chenyi smiled relaxedly, and said with a sigh of relief, "That's great, please contact the literature club, I don't want you to be misunderstood for so long."

    Wen Xu nodded and agreed, his fingers were dancing on the keyboard to send a message to the literature club.

    In his spare time, Wen Xu observed the expression on Duan Chenyi's face with sideways eyes.

    There is something wrong with this, something very strange.So Wen Xu let Duan Chenyi go if he wasn't prepared.

    He curled his fingers slightly, planning to investigate where Duan Chenyi studied in junior high school after the dust settled.

    Wen Xu wanted to know, had they met before?

    After all, what Duan Chenyi just said about the Weibo account is still too unreliable, and Wen Xu doesn't believe that he can know the Weibo account that he has almost forgotten by relying on big data.

    Once the seeds of doubt are planted, there will be more and more doubts about its continuous extension.Wen Xu's hands are moving, but in his head, he has thoroughly recounted the details of his previous relationship with Duan Chenyi.

    As for Duan Chenyi, why does he have two apartments outside the campus and why does he run back to the dormitory?Why did so many coincidences happen when Lu Yuan came to pursue him?

    And... the couple agreement that Duan Chenyi took five minutes to print out, and the "temporary" label pasted on it.

    When stringing all these clues together, it is hard not to let Wen Xu think in certain directions...

    Thinking of this, Wen Xu hid the emotion in his eyes and continued to contact the Literature Club.

    Probably because Wen Xu successfully proved that the trumpet was himself, and the original framework of the article was also when he first published it, the teacher of the literature club spoke a lot in an instant,

    They first apologized to Wen Xu, and said that they would make another judgment after reviewing it again, basically turning over the plagiarism.

    Things have come to an end now.

    When everything finally fell to the ground, Wen Xu got out of his exhausted state, raised his eyes and thanked Duan Chenyi, "Without you, these things would not have been handled so smoothly."

    Duan Chenyi smiled, "Is that so? Is there any reward for me?"

    "No." Wen Xu refused mercilessly: "I already rewarded you last night."

    "Okay..." Duan Chenyi's mood dropped visibly to the naked eye, but he stopped when he saw it was good: "Mr. Wen really knows how to relax and relax, and to distinguish between rewards and punishments."

    Wen Xu slightly raised his eyebrows and asked, "How did I punish you?"

    Duan Chenyi thought for a moment, and said with a bit of self-willedness in his tone, "If you don't reward me, you are punishing me..."

    Wen Xu was laughed at by Duan Chen, and he didn't get used to him anymore and didn't continue to be poor with him.But as soon as the conversation changed, he asked: "Where is Lu Yuan? Why are his things gone? Did he move away?"

    "That's right." Duan Chenyi nodded slightly, and then answered Wen Xu without changing his expression.

    "Lu Yuan just sent you that apology video on the forum after being called by the counselor to talk. It seems that he was warned because of the bad influence. The school gave him a one-semester stay, so he packed up and left.gone."

    "That's it?" Wen Xu was taken aback, feeling that things were going too smoothly, and he wasn't used to it.

    Duan Chenyi nodded confidently, "Well, that's it."

    As he said that, Duan Chenyi leaned closer to Wen Xu and continued to add: "Is this not good, Mr. Wen? You have always been troubled by Lu Yuan's presence in the dormitory, right?"

    "Now he has also said that he will not pursue you anymore, and he has also moved out of the dormitory. You will not have any troubles because of him in the future."

    Wen Xu pursed his lips slightly and said, "Well, it's very good."

    It's just that the change was a bit too sudden, which made him not very able to adapt.

    Wen Xu sighed softly, feeling that the struggle that lasted for half a semester was finally over.He vented a little, and sat back on his chair.

    As soon as he sat down, Wen Xu suddenly felt something strange in his hands, which felt a bit like a USB flash drive.

    Following that feeling, he looked over, and there happened to be a pure black USB flash drive in his eyes.

    "Whose is this?" Wen Xu asked Duan Chenyi holding the USB flash drive.

    Duan Chenyi obviously hadn't seen that thing before, so he just shook his head, "I don't know very well, I keep my USB flash drive at home. This style... I haven't seen much."

    Hearing Duan Chenyi's words, Wen Xu was also a little confused.

    After thinking for a while looking at the USB drive in his hand, he turned on the computer and plugged it in.

    Watching his movements, Duan Chenyi also followed suit, Wen Xu opened the folder in the USB flash drive, and it was densely packed with documents.

    To be precise, it should all be the information in Wen Xu's computer.

    All documents, photos, chat messages, and backups of all software were copied to this USB flash drive, and the copying time was exactly one month ago.

    It happened to be the time when Lu Yuan officially started his fierce pursuit.

    Wen Xu was dumbfounded.

    "What is this..." His lips were slightly white, and even his voice trembled involuntarily.A chill rose from his back, and Wen Xu's scalp was a little numb.

    The folder of the USB flash drive slid to the end, and there are still many photos.

    Wen Xu's hands were still trembling. He took a deep breath and clicked on the folder containing the photos. It was full of sneak shots of himself from different angles.

    From the perspective of the photos, many places were taken from Lu Yuan's dormitory location.

    It is clear at a glance who owns this USB flash drive.

    Wen Xu didn't look any further, realizing that a kind of privacy of his own had been opened up and peeked at for a long time.He immediately felt nauseated, and directly exited the USB disk folder.

    "My computer is usually kept in the dormitory without a password."

    Wen Xu lowered his head, and ramblingly speculated about the ins and outs of the materials in the USB flash drive to Duan Chenyi, "I usually spend most of my time in the library, and Zhou Yu is similar. And you often live off-campus., so Lu Yuan often stays alone in the dormitory."

    "The information in the computer that he wanted to peek at while I was away...should be easy, and the article that said I plagiarized should also be copied from my computer."

    Wen Xu couldn't stop shaking, swearing for the first time in his life.

    "It's disgusting...how could he go so far."

    Duan Chenyi frowned slightly, and directly raised his hand to help Wen Xu turn off the computer.He watched the people in front of him shrink into a ball, and felt distressed in his heart.

    In the next second, Duan Chenyi squatted down and took a step forward, hugging Wen Xu into his arms.

    "It's all over." He comforted softly: "I will destroy the USB drive for you, and I will also encrypt the computer after checking whether there is any external intrusion."

    "It's okay, Xiaoxu, I'm here. From now on... I won't let other people hurt you again."

    Wen Xu leaned on Duan Chenyi's shoulder, his fingers curled up due to the violent emotional fluctuations, wrinkling his clothes a little.

    After a while, Wen Xu opened his mouth to speak."Thank you…"

    Because Lu Yuan's apology video was released, everyone's rumors about Wen Xu stopped from here.The focus of public opinion gradually shifted from Wen Xu to Lu Yuan.

    [It's too thick, does Lu Yuan mean that if he can't get it, he will destroy it?Don't be too ridiculous, I said, life is not a novel of a domineering president.]

    [Laughs, I think this is more ridiculous than fiction.]

    [It's really too much, Wen Xu gets along well with his partner, meeting him...it's really bad luck for eight lifetimes, I'm convinced.]

    [Alas, it seems that Wenxu people are still quite good.I really misunderstood him before, and the rumors on the Internet are not credible.]

    [Unbelievable +1, the current netizens are too easy to be tempted.]

    [I remember your ID upstairs, it seems that you were one of the people who fought on the front line at that time...]

    ...

    A few days later, online discussions on Wen Xu basically disappeared.At the same time, Lu Yuan's departure also brought Wen Xu's campus life back to the daily four points and one line of the library, teaching building, dining hall and dormitory, everything is normal.

    On Duan Chenyi's side, the deadline is approaching, so the recent schoolwork pressure has gradually become busy.Wen Xu rarely saw him in the dormitory, and even if he did, he deliberately kept a little distance because he didn't want to disturb him.

    Everything is back to normal and things are going in the right direction.

    After Wen Xu's plagiarism turmoil has passed, the contribution of the Literature Club has been going on normally.Soon, half a month later, the first magazine was published, and the sales volume was very good, 1,000 more copies than expected.

    In order to celebrate the success of the magazine's launch, the Literature Club decided to hold a celebration banquet, and Wen Xu was naturally among those invited.

    When receiving the message from Meng Tang, Wen Xu was nestling in the dormitory writing a manuscript.

    He first congratulated the literary club for its achievements, and then he was about to refuse: "No need, Meng, I don't seem to like to participate in this kind of gathering with many people... Just go and have fun."

    Meng Tang blocked Wen Xu's way with another sentence, "When I booked the seat, I booked your seat by the way, and your manuscript was noticed by the professors of our liberal arts school. The main purpose is to teachI want to see you. Compared with the last time, this time is a small dinner, there are no people."

    Seeing the message sent by Meng Tang, Wen Xu hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at Duan Chenyi's seat.

    At this time, Duan Chenyi was wearing headphones and concentrating on typing on the keyboard, completely oblivious to the movement on his side.

    Wen Xu hesitated for a moment, feeling that Duan Chenyi was too busy to bother him.

    Meng Tang's side was still pressing every step of the way, so that Wen Xu couldn't say any serious words of rejection.

    Five minutes later, Wen Xu accepted Meng Tang's invitation with a sigh.

    "Send me the time and location."

    On Saturday, Wen Xu stepped on time and came to the address of the restaurant that Meng Tang had sent him.

    Before going out, Duan Chenyi asked him where he was going.

    Wen Xu explained the past honestly, and also sent the address of the restaurant he was going to by the way.

    "Do you need me to pick you up after the end?" Duan Chenyi looked at the address on the phone and added, "This place is quite close to my company."

    Wen Xu shook his head, "No, you just need to do your own thing. I'll take a taxi back at night."

    But now, Wen Xu was standing alone on the street holding his mobile phone, and suddenly he regretted that he didn't ask Duan Chenyi to come with him.

    During the team building last time, it was because of Duan's sincerity that he was not embarrassed to be alone.And now... Although Meng Tang said that there are not many people, Wen Xu, who is not good at facing this kind of scene, is still a little worried.

    But Duan Chenyi is very busy recently, and the contract between them has also been terminated, Wen Xu has no reason to let him accompany her...

    To put it bluntly, the relationship between the two of them is just a little better ordinary friends.

    Duan Chenyi has his own life, and Wen Xu also has something to do. It's good that the two are back on track.

    Wen Xu raised his hand and rubbed his face, trying to get himself used to the absence of that little tail who likes to chirp by his side as soon as possible.

    He just stood on the side of the street and waited for a long time, until he doubted whether Meng Tang had set him free, only then did he see the figure with pink hair appearing in the distance.

    "Wen Xu, good afternoon."

    Meng Tang took a step forward and walked to his side, then pointed to the two middle-aged men beside him as a gesture.

    "These two are the professors who came to dinner today."

    Hearing Meng Tang's words, Wen Xu turned around and nodded to say hello, "Hello."

    "What's your name?" He raised his eyes and asked Meng Tang.

    "The one on the left is Professor Zhao, the vice president of the Faculty of Arts. The one on the right is Professor Song, who teaches writing in the Faculty of Liberal Arts and is also a writer of our Provincial Writers Association."

    Wen Xu smiled at the two, "Hello, Mr. Zhao, and Mr. Song."

    The taller one is Mr. Zhao, and he greeted Wen Xu first, "Well, hello, hello."

    After greeting each other one by one, Wen Xu followed them into the restaurant and took a seat.

    Meng Tang booked a Chinese-style restaurant this time, and the overall atmosphere is very elegant and antique.

    The dishes were pre-ordered early in the morning, so it didn't take long for them to be served.

    Wen Xu sat quietly at the side, waiting for the two professors to start the conversation.

    Although Meng Tang told himself that it was a small gathering, but looking at the names of these two... the gold content of this gathering must be quite high.

    Just as Wen Xu was thinking about the reason for calling him here, that teacher Zhao said: "Student Wen, can I call you Xiao Wen?"

    Wen Xu nodded, "Yes, Mr. Zhao."

    "That's good." Mr. Zhao nodded, "You should be able to drink? I brought a glass of Moutai. Anyway, I have nothing to do this weekend. How about we have a drink?"

    Hearing Teacher Zhao's words, Wen Xu's movements stiffened a little.But because of Dean Zhao's name, Wen Xu couldn't refuse, so he could only nod his head."I can drink it, but I don't drink very well."

    "It's okay, just have a taste. This is good wine, specially brought to you."

    After finishing speaking, Dean Zhao poured Wen Xu half a glass of white wine from a glass.

    Wen Xu thanked him, looking down at the glass of white wine, a little at a loss.

    And when he was struggling with how to get rid of the half cup of Moutai, Dean Zhao spoke up.

    "Xiao Song, come and tell classmate Xiao Wen the purpose of our trip."

    After finishing speaking, Dean Zhao held the wine glass and smiled, "You guys talk, my wife usually doesn't let me drink at home, so I occasionally have the opportunity to indulge in two drinks..."

    Teacher Song, who was called Xiao Song, pushed his black-rimmed glasses.

    "Student Wen Xu."

    He directly cut to the topic and said: "We have read all the articles you contributed to the Literature Society last time. I think its overall level is very good, and it has also been recognized by everyone in the professor group."

    "And our school plans to carry out exchange programs with famous foreign schools next year, that is, when you are in your junior year. According to our evaluation of your grade points and overall quality throughout your freshman year, you are the most outstanding performer in our school.One of the most stable students."

    "So we are going to give you this exchange student spot. The exchange time is the whole year of junior year."

    "You don't need to worry about tuition fees. Our school will provide corresponding grant support. This opportunity is rare. I hope you can think about it."

    Hearing this news, Wen Xu felt a little dazed.

    Exchange Students?Does that mean he is going to be sent to study abroad?

    Because of the family's economic reasons, Wen Xu actually didn't feel much about this kind of thing.But after knowing that he has a chance, he still can't help being moved.

    After all... For a literature student like him, he can go to a wider world and see different scenery.It can also add more experience and write more touching works.

    "Student Wen Xu, what is your intention?"

    Teacher Song narrowed his eyes, watching Wen Xu's every move.

    "It may take me a while to think about it." Wen Xu took a deep breath and said, "After all, it will take a year, and a lot of work needs to be prepared. I should discuss it with my family before making a decision."

    "Of course no problem." Teacher Song smiled, "Now that you are in the first semester of your sophomore year, you still have half a year to think about it."

    "However... the school also needs you to make a decision as soon as possible. After all, we also need to make early preparations for you to exchange."

    Wen Xu nodded, "Well, I understand. I will give an answer as soon as possible."

    After the brief conversation ended, the purpose of this meal was revealed.The two teachers praised Wen Xu's writing level for a while, and said that his stories are very exciting, and it would be a pity not to pursue further studies...

    Wen Xu just continued to deal with them with a decent smile, but he still couldn't escape Dean Zhao's persuasion.

    In line with the principle of not letting the dean down, Wen Xu could only be forced to drink the glass of white wine.

    In this way, he was downed with three glasses of white wine, and everyone who drank it was a little dizzy.

    Jiu Jin came to his mind slightly, Wen Xu left the box after making an excuse to go to the bathroom.

    It's not that Wen Xu can't drink, it's just that he hates the smell.So seldom have contact with each other, and don’t drink much.But fortunately, his wine quality is not bad, but occasionally he gets dizzy and knows the wrong person.

    He went to the bathroom in a daze like this and washed his face with cold water, trying to wake himself up.

    After waking up, Wen Xu took out his mobile phone from his pocket to call Duan Chenyi.

    The connection over there was also quite fast, and Duan Chen's deep and pleasant voice came from the microphone, "Hello? Xiaoxu, what's the matter?"

    Wen Xu closed his eyes, feeling that the stamina after drinking seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.Holding the phone, he panted slightly and said, "Duan Chenyi..."

    "I'm dizzy, can you... can you, come pick me up?"

    He popped out a few words from his throat in such a rigid manner, sounding a little hoarse.

    The back of the liquor gradually came back up, making Wen Xu unable to hold the phone a little bit, and let it slide down to the floor.It fell to the floor with a "click", and Duan Chenyi's phone was hung up.

    Wen Xu frowned slightly, bent down, picked up the phone and walked out.

    He was going to call Duan Chenyi after he got out of the toilet, but he didn't expect to meet Meng Tang at the corner of the toilet.

    "Are you okay?" Meng Tang looked at Wen Xu, whose cheeks were slightly flushed, with a little worry, and explained: "That Dean Zhao is my uncle, and he is quite addicted to alcohol. I didn't expect that heI will pour you down like this, and I am here to say sorry to you on his behalf."

    Wen Xu was stunned, supported his head with a chuckle and said it was all right.

    Meng Tang looked at him worriedly, and took advantage of the situation to help Wen Xu walk to the door of the restaurant, "I have already greeted them, you just go straight. Do you want me to call a car for you?"

    "No need..." A strong sense of dizziness enveloped Wen Xu, making him a little nauseous, and even speaking intermittently.

    "Later, yes, someone is coming to pick me up. I, I'll just stay alone. It's windy outside, so go back first..."

    And the second after Wen Xu finished speaking, his cell phone rang.

    Meng Tang took the first step to connect Wen Xu and put it in his ear.

    But it's a pity that Wen Xu is offline now, even though the other end of the phone shouted like this, there was no response, and he just leaned against the wall with half-closed eyes trying to sober up.

    Meng Tang had no choice but to bring the phone over to answer for Wen Xu.

    After seeing clearly that the note on the screen was Duan Chenyi, Meng Tang asked.

    "Hello, is this Wen Xu's boyfriend? He's drunk now, is it convenient for you to come and pick him up?"

    On the other side, Wen Xu answered Meng Tang as if he had captured some key information.

    "I do not have a boyfriend…"

    Meng Tang smiled, suspecting that he was dazzled by drinking, "How could it be? Isn't Duan Chenyi your boyfriend?"

    "Duan Chenyi?" Wen Xu frowned slightly, speaking in a moderate volume, which happened to reach the ear of the person opposite through the microphone.

    "Duan...Duan Chenyi, he and I are just, ordinary friends..."
