I Can See Their Cheating Rates - Chapter 21

Chapter 21: The Novel Is on Fire!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wasn’t this person a little too greedy?

After a light click of his tongue, Wang Dong replied: [If I take a selfie for you, you have to say it all in one go. Otherwise, I’ll be angry.]

[Editor Han Xuan: No problem, I just want to understand you more. Don’t hate me, alright? I’m sure that if you trust me with your novel, it will definitely become famous! On account of how familiar we are, I’ll definitely promote it to hot sales for you!]

Wang Dong was surprised by the other party’s threat.

Didn’t this mean that if he wanted his novel to become popular, he needed to do as he said?

It basically meant that if he entrusted his novel elsewhere, the novel might very well sink into the ocean.

Did he really think he was the boss of a magazine?

He was just an editor.

If he didn’t need evidence, why would Wang Dong pretend to be polite?

“System, quickly send your selfie over.”

No matter how Han Xuan thought about it, he probably couldn’t imagine that the photo and voice were not synthesized by humans, right?

“Ten points to exchange for the picture editing technology. Are you sure you want to do this?” The system asked coldly.

“Yes, yes, hurry up and send it.”

Therefore, a cute girl selfie was posted on the chat interface.

[Stephanie Mel: Brother Editor, can you tell me now?]

When Han Xuan saw this photo, he almost drooled!

Who wouldn’t like a mixed-blood beauty?

It wasn’t that he hadn’t seen mixed-bloods before, but they weren’t as good-looking as Stephanie Mel! His heart couldn’t help but beat faster at the thought of him being with her.

As expected, young people like him were easy to deceive.

As he looked at this new message, he seemed to hear the other party calling him big brother.

This couldn’t help but let his imagination run wild.

[Stephanie Mel: Still here? Editor brother, are you going back on your word? Lying is not something a good child should do.]

[Editor Han Xuan: No, no, no, why would I regret it?]

Wang Dong wondered if he was exposed for a second and immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

[Editor Han Xuan: Do you know this book, “Do You Remember”?]

The sudden question stunned him for a few seconds.

He remembered that it was a fairy tale novel, right? It was pretty popular previously.

[Stephanie Mel: I’ve seen it. What’s wrong?]

[Editor Han Xuan: She’s also one of them. There’s also Ke Lan, Anqi, Chun Fei…]

The series of names shocked Wang Dong. No way? This was a little too much!

There were even some authors who had not been adults for long! This was no longer a jerk! He was simply scum!

He finally understood why Qin Sixia would borrow the book “Second Sex” on her borrowing certificate.

Han Xuan must have taken the initiative to mention it, right?

He actually used his position to pick up one girl after another.

Qin Sixia was also stupid to really study the theory of “open relationship”.

The other party was very cunning.

The message was quickly withdrawn.

If he didn’t react in time, there was no way for Wang Dong to retain evidence.

Fortunately, Wang Dong came prepared.

He decisively printed the manuscript and the real-time chat record.

After getting the evidence, he wasn’t in a hurry to find Qin Sixia. Instead, he got Han Xuan to publish the book.

No matter what the other party said, he pretended not to see.

Han Xuan also did not continue to send more messages. Seeing that the mixed-blood beauty didn’t reply, he wasn’t in a hurry.

In any case, she would come to the magazine agency sooner or later. When the time came, he could just find an opportunity to make a move.

…

At school.

“Have you read Twilight recently? That novel is really awesome! I wonder when the author will be able to update the subsequent chapters!”

“I read it, I read it! I stayed up late and finished reading it, but I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep well the whole night. Even now, I’m still thinking about what will happen to this book. It’s simply the best romance novel I’ve ever seen in my life!”

“The love between a vampire and a human girl is really compatible! Moreover, the female protagonist’s personality is also very special. She’s not the same kind of female protagonist with the same face. I really want to know the rest!”

“By the way, have you guys seen the nearest forum? I heard the author is in our university. Maybe we can even be lucky enough to meet the author of this book!”

…

In just two days after Twilight was released, the sales exceeded 10,000 copies!

No matter where Qin Sixia went, she could hear the voices of people discussing the plot.

Was it really that good?

She carried the new novel to the rooftop and flipped open the book while feeling the summer breeze.

When she read the first paragraph, she completely fell into it!

Because it was only a thin book, even if she deliberately slowed down, she still finished reading it not long after. She had a lingering feeling that she wanted to see the subsequent content quickly, and they kept filling her mind.

She searched online again, but there was no subsequent content.

Then, she remembered what those people had said just now. She flipped to the last post-production book and saw that the author had written down some remarks about the book.

She focused on the words [I like to compose when night falls. A breeze will sweep across the field and enter the classroom with the window half open. At that time, I could vaguely hear the bell twice]. If she didn’t remember wrongly, the bells at Lin Liu University would ring at nine o’clock sharp every night, and then it would ring again at twelve.

Since it was two rings, it meant that it would be after nine.

How did the author know that the breeze would sweep across the field?

Unless…

The field could be seen from that classroom.

It was a little far from the clock tower, and it was rare to see classrooms near the field.

She thought of Building 8, which happened to meet the above two conditions.

However, it had a total of ten levels. How did she know which level it was on? Could it be that she had to search floor by floor?

Qin Sixia read the remarks again. She noticed that the author wrote [I’ll place the white cup on the railing. When I’m tired, I’ll look at the starry sky outside for a while]. Was this the meaning of the balcony?

If she didn’t remember wrongly, there was only a balcony on the left and right side of Building 8. It was much clearer now.

However, there was no need for her to look for the other party personally.

She remembered that her boyfriend was an editor in charge of novels. Perhaps he would know?

At the thought of this, she took out her cell phone and made a call. “Han Xuan?”

A tired voice came from the other end. “Sixia, what do you want?”

“You sound tired.”

“Yes, because the book Twilight became popular too quickly. Our editorial department printed it overnight, and I haven’t rested for a long time. Moreover, the higher-ups value this book very much. I think the center of the magazine will be transferred to Twilight’ recently.”

Han Xuan paused for a moment and continued, “I think this year’s new romance novel king should be hers. By the way, are you looking for me to ask me something?”

Qin Sixia didn’t expect the magazine to take this book so seriously. However, with the current sales volume, it seemed normal?

She returned to her senses and said, “Ah, right..”
