Chapter 75: A Good Explanation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After the end of the presentation ceremony, everyone started to disperse.

As Xiang Wan had attended a social gathering together with Hu Bandao last night, these authors had beco her own little circle of friends.

As she won the rit award, many of them congratulated her via WeChat.

Xiang Wan responded to all these congratulatory ssages awkwardly. She kept feeling that it was unreal for her to have won the award.

Feeling uneasy, she took her training completion certificate as well as the rit award certificate to look for her horoom teacher.

“Sir, I would like to speak to you. Do you have a mont?”

The horoom teacher seed to know what she wanted to say and pointed up ahead.

“Let’s talk over there.”

That was his office.

After saying that sentence, the courage that Xiang Wan summoned had dissipated. Thus, when she entered the office, she appeared to be sowhat timid and hesitant.

After closing the door, she walked up to the table and asked very softly, “Sir, why am I chosen as the rit award winner?”

Huh?

The horoom teacher took a sip of tea from his tea cup. Upon hearing what she said, he looked at her amiably with a smile.

“Did you feel that you should not be the one to receive the rit award?”

“... Yes.” Xiang Wan replied a little weakly.

In actual fact, no writer would truly think that he or she was not good at writing.

Therefore, Xiang Wan’s reply was, in fact, referring to her essay results.

The horoom teacher’s smile soothed her nerves.

“You’ve thought too much over this. As I said the other day, the award would be based on the grade of your essay. Firstly, your essay is really well-written. When I discussed with the other teachers, everyone held the sa views as . Secondly, you have a high overall score. Throughout the two week training course, besides the day you applied for sick leave, you arrived for lesson on ti everyday and were always seriously taking notes. You’re never late and never left early for class. You’re the only one in class who did that! If you’re not outstanding, who else is?”

Xiang Wan was surprised.

His explanation was good enough.

It was totally reasonable.

Xiang Wan’s motive to want to get selected for the training program was exactly to want to learn sothing from it. She might be the only one with the best attitude toward learning in the whole class.

However...

Xiang Wan eased up and wore a more relaxed smile.

“Sir, do you really think my essay is good?”

“Yes,” the horoom teacher nodded, “you’ve wrote what many would not dare to write. The developnt of online literature up till today, is a problem that we, the practitioners, must seriously think and face up to it. For that, you deserve a comndation.”

Xiang Wan lowered her head. “I’m ashad to show off my skills in front of the experts.”

The horoom teacher glanced at her kindly. “Don’t say that, the new generation would surpass the old. Your generation has the convenience of the internet, so it is a good ti to display your talents in literary creation. Do continue to write well, I hope one day, you’ll be able to surpass Second Young Master Mu.”

Second Young Master Mu?

Xiang Wan was slightly surprised.

Oh right, the horoom teacher was also the leader of the Writer’s Association. He would certainly know Second Young Master Mu.

Xiang Wan nodded her head, motivated. “Second Young Master Mu is my idol. I’ll certainly look up to him.”

“Haha, alright, take care. I look forward to greater achievents from you.”

...

When Xiang Wan returned to her dorm, her footsteps still felt a little light.

What had happened was really totally beyond her expectations.

She had never thought that she would be able to win the rit award from a class of famous authors.

Earlier, she had gained the recognition from her horoom teacher, relieving her of the negative feelings she had from receiving the rit award at the ceremony.

If all the teachers felt that she deserved the award, she should gladly accept it!

As to how others would think or say about this, it was not within the scope of her consideration.

Xiang Wan washed her face to clear her head, then she put on a facial mask and sat before her laptop.

There was still a lot of ti as her flight was 9:30 p.m. She only needed to concentrate to start writing her update for the day.

...

[The Case Of The Fountain Goddess]

The number of searches and hits for this case in the internet was persistently high. However, the novel, “Murder The Dream Guy” only received a lukewarm response.

Unlike the 720 case where her case was being replicated in real life, Xiang Wan had chosen to adapt this case into her novel. Nevertheless, not only did it fail to attract new traffic, it drew criticism instead.

So people felt there was a lack of novelty, while so chided her of creating hype by riding on the waves. There were also so who thought that the case was too simple, leaving no room for creativity and further developnt...

Of course, there were also the curious onlookers wondering how the case would turn out under Xiang Gongzi’s plot.

In her novel “Murder The Dream Guy”, Xiang Wan’s opinion was—the general public might not always be right. A lopsided opinion of the majority toward an issue would not an that the truth was what they thought to be. The washed-up celebrity was a stranger to the police officer, and he had no motive to force her to commit suicide. There was definitely more than ets the eye behind her death.

She wrote:

“There is a reason behind every death. When the woman leapt from the fifth floor, there must be a pair of pushing hands behind her, tangible or intangible. That would be the real cause of her death.”

“Rong Xiaonuan believed that Detective Fang Yelan would be able to apprehend the pair of hands and bring it to justice!”

...

Xiang Wan was in a good shape that day. As she was writing her story in the dorm alone, she almost forgot about lunch.

It was Hu Bandao who sent her a reminder before he left the campus for his flight.

“Brother, do persist on! I’ve ordered a take-out delivery for you. It’s going to arrive very soon.”

The word “brother” made Xiang Wan laugh two tis and felt valorous.

“Thanks, bro, I’ll rember your favor of one al and promise you a take-out delivery in future.”

“There’s no need to. I shall take my leave, we’ll et again if fate allows.”

“Okay, hope we’ll et again.”

After Xiang Wan sent her ssage, she peeked out of her window and saw Hu Bandao pulling his luggage along, walking toward the campus entrance.

Farewell.

She waved at the back view of Hu Bandao, then she continued writing her story.

...

It was now 6:00 p.m. in the evening.

After uploading the chapter, it was ti to pack up to go to the airport.

She was one of those who left the campus much later, and noticed that the whole building seed empty.

She felt sowhat nervous for no reason as she dragged her suitcase into the elevator and walked alone in the hall.

There were staff at the reception in the main hall.

Xiang Wan walked toward the reception to sign the relevant docunts and return the room card before bidding goodbye to the staff.

The staff wore a faint smile. “Goodbye.”

Xiang Wan thought that smile was rather unusual but did not think too much of it.

But the mont she turned her head, there was suddenly soone in front of her, blocking her path.

“Eh!” Xiang Wan got a shock!

As usual, Bai Muchuan’s hands were inside his pockets. He looked cool with a pair of shades this ti and just stood in front of her, looking at her coldly.

When did he co? Xiang Wan’s heart missed a beat.

“Why are you here?”

Instead of answering her question, Bai Muchuan swept a glance at her and reached out for her suitcase. “Let’s go.”

Uh!

Xiang Wan saw the teasing look of the staff and her cheeks started to turn pink.

Why does this guy always like to launch “surprise attacks” on ?!

Xiang Wan didn’t want to talk to him in the hall as she didn’t want to be laughed at. She lowered her head and followed him out.

Bai Muchuan walked in big strides. He did not turn to look at her and neither did he wait for her.

It was evident that he had specially co to fetch her, although his attitude was not friendly at all.

At the entrance of the campus, there was a huge, red horizontal banner that read: “Farewell, students”. As Bai Muchuan’s Maybach was parked right before the entrance, it grabbed the attention of the people that walked in and out of the gates.

There were also several fellow authors waiting for a taxi outside the entrance.

Xiang Wan was a little dazed and she slowed down. At that mont, Bai Muchuan turned to give her an icy glare.

“Is there glue on your feet?!”

“...”

What the! Did I owe you? Xiang Wan groaned inwardly.

I didn’t ask you to fetch !

Xiang Wan quickened her steps, and through the iron gates, she saw Zi Tan and Du Landuo who were by the roadside, seemingly waiting for a cab.

Almost simultaneously, both of them seed to have noticed Xiang Wan.

Due to the unexpected turn of event at the presentation ceremony earlier in the day, Zi Tan had felt very humiliated.

From then on, Xiang Wan knew that the bad blood between Zi Tan and herself most probably couldn’t be resolved.

Therefore, she no longer needed to care about the slandering thread in the forum, and neither was there a need to greet them anymore. She turned away and walked toward Bai Muchuan’s car.

Zi Tan and Du Landuo exchanged glances with each other before turning away as if they had not seen her.

The mont Xiang Wan got close to the car, the car window drew down.

The next mont, Quan Shaoteng’s gorgeous face appeared in sight. “Hi Beautiful, we et again.”

Bai Muchuan swept a cold gaze over at him, where Quan Shaoteng shrugged his shoulders innocently.

Xiang Wan smiled at him, pulled the car door, and hopped onto the back passenger seat of the car. “Captain Quan, sorry to trouble you.”

Quan Shaoteng laughed and spoke candidly, “I love it when beautiful won co to bother . Right, Little Bai?”

Bai Muchuan had finished loading the suitcase into the trunk and sat together with Xiang Wan at the back passenger seat.

“Start driving now!” He ignored him but directly issued an order instead.

“D*mn! Who are you commanding?

“You’re really!”

“...”

And so, Quan Laowu was being “tragically” made to act as the chauffeur sending them to the airport. Not only that, he was also a victim suffering from their cold war, enduring the indifferent aura both of them emitted throughout the journey.

“Hello, both of you, don’t you have anything to say?”

Bai Muchuan’s eyes seed to be half-closed, as if he was napping and did not say a word.

Xiang Wan was polite to him. “Alright,” she agreed in a soft tone, “why don’t you talk then, Captain Quan?”

“...”

Quan Shaoteng raised his eyebrows, feeling helpless.

“I’ve nothing to say actually. I’ll talk about Little Bai then. Not sure what happened to him, but he’s really crazy!”

Bai Muchuan had asked him over to his place early in the morning. When he arrived, Bai Muchuan was lying on a chair near the window, sleeping. The room was full of wine bottles and cigarette butts.

After that, he helped to take care of him–wake him up, get him breakfast, and accompanied him to fetch Xiang Wan. In the end, Bai Muchuan did not even return him a smile...

“Little Bai, if we weren’t bunk mates and had carried guns together, I would have sent you flying with a kick, do you believe ?”

Bai Muchuan did not even return a glance.

“Look at your face! Did soone owe you money or what?”

Quan Shaoteng was a warm and friendly person. He was about to be driven crazy by Bai Muchuan’s apathetic responses.

Talking by himself was really not interesting at all. He looked at Xiang Wan through the mirror and puffed a sigh when he noticed that Xiang Wan was pursing her lips and looked unconcerned.

“Hey Beautiful, do show more concern for this fellow. If you don’t take good care of him, I’m really worried that he’ll be a nace to the society’.”

“...”

Xiang Wan was speechless.

What right did she have to care about Bai Muchuan?

She did not know how to answer that, so she just smiled reluctantly to get out of it.

However, Quan Shaoteng did not want to let her off easily. “I’m serious,” he took a glance at her through the mirror, “it’s not easy for this fellow to survive till today. You should...”

“Quan Laowu!” Bai Muchuan suddenly opened his eyes and interrupted him, “Do you still want to be the chauffeur?”

Uh!

Xiang Wan felt as though her ears were frozen and contained in an ice cube when she heard his cold, distant voice without a trace of emotion.

“Hur!” Quan Shaoteng sounded really exasperated, “I f*cking want to 1 ... d*mn, d*mmit, I f*cking terribly want to!”

Xiang Wan: “...”
