"Yuyao, this time it's an illusion..."
He told her about his dream that night, repeatedly apologizing.
"Actually... I was planning to apologize to Miaomiao. But when you came, you didn't listen to my explanation at all and just started hysterically cursing at both me and Fang Qing. I thought you were too irritable, so I said some harsh things, but I didn't expect you to smash all of Fang Qing's things in your anger. I'm not blaming you, it's just that at the time... I was so angry that I lost my mind."
Lin Yuyao chuckled.
Lu Jiangting said urgently, "Also, you left in anger. I wanted to chase after you, but I..." He didn't dare to say it... but he still mustered up his courage and said in a low voice, "I stayed to help Fang Qing clean up the mess. After I finished cleaning up, I immediately went to chase after you. But... you didn't give me a chance. You went back to your hometown."
Oh, so that’s it.
Lin Yuyao certainly remembered this incident.
But did he forget to mention the important point?
He was the one who said that if they didn't apologize to Fang Qing, they wouldn't be able to stay here that night.
She had no money. The little money she had left was only enough for the fare back home. She didn't dare use it to stay in a guesthouse, and she couldn't apologize to Fang Qing. So what could she do?
"Your story is quite interesting," Lin Yuyao said with a faint smile, then her eyes changed after a moment. "But... I have some doubts. If the 'Yuyao' you're talking about is so fierce and volatile, why didn't she stay and tear you apart? What did you do to intimidate her and make her afraid?"
Her words exploded in Lu Jiangting's mind like a thunderclap.
Yes, he threatened her.
To stop her from making a scene, he said he would never send another penny back.
He would deduct any amount from her allowance as compensation to Fang Qing.
Lu Jiangting's face was drained of color, his mouth agape, unable to utter a single word.
Seeing his reaction, Lin Yuyao thought he must have remembered.
Kind of interesting.
She asked in a deliberately profound tone, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Is your house destroyed and you have nowhere to stay? You can stay in a hotel; it doesn't cost much."
Lu Jiangting stumbled.
He then remembered that Yuyao had brought her daughter over, not only to see him but also to get money.
That year, after his mother passed away and the funeral was held, the family still owed some money.
She desperately needed to get that money from him.
But... he never gave her a single penny until she left.
Staying in a hotel doesn't cost much, that's how Yuyao is now.
But the one in the illusion was wearing the simplest clothes, which were from several years ago.
She can't even afford a guesthouse, let alone a hotel.
He wouldn't give her money, and she wasn't willing to bow down to Fang Qing. What else could she do but stay?
She had no choice but to catch the train that day to leave.
Lu Jiangting felt he deserved to die, he really deserved to die!
"I...I didn't mean to, Yuyao, I...I deserve to die, I really deserve to die."
He wanted to walk towards her, but after taking two steps he stopped and dared not get closer.
Because he felt he didn't deserve it.
Lin Yuyao appeared calm and nodded, saying, "Yes, your story is very interesting."
Lu Jiangting was suddenly taken aback.
Yes, to her, everything he said was just a story.
So... his previous guess that Yuyao might have had the same hallucination must have been false, right?
This is his own guess, definitely.
"Are you finished?"
Lu Jiangting: "..."
"I'm leaving now. Looking forward to your... next episode."
After saying that, Lin Yuyao got into the car, stepped on the gas, and sped away.
Lin Yuyao recalled Song Qin's past.
That year, Song Qin's ex-boyfriend came to see her and told her about his experiences in the previous years.
As a result, Song Qin wasn't angry at all.
Because she truly doesn't care anymore, she treats her ex's story as a story, a joke.
She'd be happy if her ex was doing badly.
Later, she openly told the story to Ye Xiaotong, who then added a refreshing story to the "Youthful Pain" section, and that issue of the magazine sold out immediately.
So much so that they occasionally have to add a "feel-good" episode.
Of course, "painful literature" is still the mainstream, after all, stories that involve a bit of pain are still popular these days.
A lighthearted, entertaining story is fine once in a while, but if it happens too often, readers won't buy it.
During lunch break, Lin Yuyao slightly modified Lu Jiangting's story and told it to Ye Xiaotong.
"Do you think you could polish it up and add it to the 'Youth Pain' section?"
After a pause, she added, "I guess this isn't over yet; it's like a TV series."
Ye Xiaotong frowned and said, "If you put it that way, then this 'I' is the male protagonist. We are a women's magazine, and if the protagonist is male, it will be difficult for readers to empathize with him."
Lin Yuyao: "Stop using first-person narration, switch to third-person narration, and use 'she,' 'he,' and 'it' to replace everything. This series has the female lead's perspective, the male lead's perspective, and the supporting characters' perspectives. How does that sound?"
Ye Xiaotong lowered her head and pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, of course it's okay. A story with multiple perspectives is more three-dimensional. I'll start writing tonight; this issue can't wait."
Yes, it's more three-dimensional with multiple perspectives.
Lin Yuyao smiled; she also felt that adding Lu Jiangting's perspective made the story even more like a story.
Hopefully, Lu Jiangting will live up to expectations and boost the magazine's sales so she can earn more money.
Later, Lu Jiangting came to see her several more times, recounting details she had almost forgotten from his perspective.
Lin Yuyao relayed everything to Ye Xiaotong, asking her to write it down and publish it gradually.
I hope Lu Jiangting doesn't read magazines, otherwise I'm afraid he'll get defensive.
After all, her visuals are featured in the magazine.
Paper wrapped fire.
Lu Jiangting was unaware of the magazine, but Fu Huaiyi discovered it.
He tossed three magazines onto the bedside table and asked her, "Yaoyao, are you still going to care about the magazines?"
She no longer manages the magazine much, after all, it has become a relatively mature business segment with a large number of supporters and has already occupied a considerable market share.
She only pays attention to it occasionally now, but of course, she continues to update her novel in the magazine.
"I don't really manage it anymore, I just update the novel, what's wrong?"
Fu Huaiyi's lips twitched. "Besides the novel section, you don't care about any other content?"
This……
"Yes, what do you mean?"
Fu Huaiyi was speechless; he could tell from her expression that she seemed a little guilty.
Fu Huaiyi immediately flipped to the "Youthful Pain" section, pointed to the content, and asked, "Who wrote this?"
Lin Yuyao said without changing her expression, "Xiaotong has always been in charge of this section, you know that, she wrote it."
"She wrote it?"
"Yes, didn't you always know that? She used to serialize her own stories there, and later she made up some things, including things about Sister Song and her ex-boyfriend. You know that too."
“Well…” Fu Huaiyi’s tongue stammered a little. Of course he knew about these things.
