Chapter 18 The Brightest Evil in the Darkness: A Star with Shallow Injury and Hidden Pain (1)
【One】

Let the time go back to the morning of March [-]th, Beijing time, at [-]:[-].

There was a history class in the morning, and Ji Moqing got up very early.

"Do you need me to take you?"

Ji Moqing shook her head, "No need, I want to walk slowly by myself today."

"Then come back early after class and have lunch together." Wen Zichen said softly, as if the incident in the photo had never happened, "I don't worry about you being alone."

"I will."

On the morning of March 45th, Beijing time, at [-]:[-].

Just after the history class ended, Ji Moqing left the classroom early as usual, and walked out of the school gate, but walked in the opposite direction of going home.

At noon on March 35th, Beijing time, at [-]:[-].

Fountain Square.

Ji Moqing sat in the corner of the square, watching from afar the "White Valentine's Day" special event being held in the center of the square——

Rose Love.

The voice of the host was so loud that even she who was sitting in the farthest corner could hear clearly, "From the following time onwards, among the questions I asked, the couples who participated with the most accurate answers will be awarded by the 'Liufu'. Jewelry' provides a pair of couple rings worth 1888 yuan."

Cheers, applause, and cheers covered her hearing like an ocean.

On the afternoon of March [-]th, Beijing time, at [-]:[-].

Ji Moqing watched the activities on the square tirelessly, and then left quietly.

No one will notice her, just as she came here quietly.

On the afternoon of March [-]th, Beijing time, at [-]:[-].

Ziyang Middle School.

Ji Moqing was sitting in the original classroom, sitting in the original seat, looking back at the seat he used to sit in...

can't see him...

On the afternoon of March 45th, Beijing time, at [-]:[-].

The playground of Ziyang Middle School.

Who dropped the cell phone and kept calling.

Cell phone, who are you calling?
On the evening of March [-]th, Beijing time, at [-]:[-] am.

Ji Moqing disappeared for a full ten hours, as if she had disappeared from the world.

【two】

It's the smell of ether.

Quietly and delicately flowing in the space where she was, no matter how hard she tried to maintain a clear consciousness, she passed out in the end, and it seemed that someone's weeping sound echoed in her ears in the coma. Long-winded, how should we try to feel the world we are in now?

Suddenly, a dazzling light lit up in the world, and she slightly opened her eyes——

The effect of the ether has not completely dissipated, and there is no trace of strength in the whole body. He opened his eyes and looked towards the place where the light source was. Ji Moqing saw the person sitting there, and smiled softly, "So it's you, Su Manlei .”

Su Manlei was slowly approaching her with a sharp knife in her hand, with no expression on her face, "What's the matter, you don't seem surprised at all, did you think it would be me?"

"Except for you, I can't imagine that anyone would use such a method to invite me over." Ji Moqing smiled, "It's ridiculous that the chairman's daughter would use such an unsightly and stupid method."

When Su Manlei heard this, she rushed to Ji Moqing, and pointed the knife in her hand at her, "What did you say!"

Ji Moqing shook her head and smiled again, "I think, except for you who hate me, no one would do such a thing to me, invited a few people to tie me here, and even held a knife... ..."

"What are you laughing at?" Su Manlei looked at her as if she had no fear at all, and approached her a little more with the knife in her hand, "Since you know it's me, then don't be so arrogant."

"I'm just laughing, you're so stupid." Ji Moqing frowned, "I should tell you this sentence, Su Manlei, don't be too arrogant, don't you know that it is illegal for you to hire someone to kidnap Is it?"

"I'm not afraid of this." Su Manlei turned the knife in her hand, and continued: "Ji Moqing, aren't you amazing? Don't you know a lot of rich people? For example, Bei Xi, and Wen Zichen, Wen Zichen Zichen is the young owner of a big consortium, why did you come to grab Chu Xiaoyi from me, after you transferred to our school, don't you know what relationship I have with him?"

"Oh, what's the relationship? Isn't it the relationship between brother and sister?" Ji Moqing smiled and shook her head, "That's what other people tell me."

"Stop putting on airs, I'm telling you, I brought you here, but I just have one thing to tell you, please stay away from him, don't pester him, if you don't agree, then don't blame me for scratching Your face!" Su Manlei said viciously.

"Oh, then I see."

After hearing her answer, Su Manlei's tone of voice softened a bit, but the tip of the knife in her hand was still facing her, "That's good, since you already know, you also know what you want to do, don't you?" , don’t come to snatch my Chu Xiaoyi from now on.”

"I just said that I understand, but it doesn't mean that I will do what you say. I think you have misunderstood me, and please understand that I am not pestering Chu Xiaoyi."

"Do you mean that Chu Xiao is pestering you? Chu Xiao will pester you as soon as I am by my side. What a joke! You overestimate your ability. I admit that you are more beautiful than me and more powerful than me." Talented, and more famous than me, but I know that Xiao Yi is not the kind of person who only looks at the surface."

This time, Ji Moqing laughed, and her already delicate and bright cheeks looked even more beautiful and charming, "Su Manlei, don't you think you are a very connotative person? Then you are too ignorant of yourself."

"What did you say?"

"Chu Xiao once told me that he has only regarded you as his younger sister since he was a child, and he has no other feelings except his concern for his younger sister..."

Su Manlei obviously didn't believe what she said, with a stiff expression on her face, she couldn't stop taking a few steps back, pointed at her with a knife and said: "Ji Moqing, you are talking nonsense, how could he say such things to you, you must be Lied to me."

"Lie to you, do I have to do that? If I lied to you, you can use the knife in your hand to scratch my face like you just said, but you look at me like this now, doesn't it mean that Do you know it in your heart? If you know it, why lie to yourself?"

The seemingly soft-spoken words have irrefutable power.

Su Manlei stared fiercely at Ji Moqing with wide eyes, "Shut up."

Ji Moqing looked at her, supported her powerless body with her hands and slowly stood up from the cold floor, and walked towards her very unsteadily, "I'm telling the truth, not that boys usually put money in their wallets. Are all the photos of girlfriends, why is it not you in Chu Xiaoyi's wallet, but photos of him and other girls?"

"Did you see his wallet? No, no way...you shut up."

Ji Moqing approached her, and the effect of ether had gradually dissipated from her body. Her faint eyes stared straight at Su Manlei, who was already pale, and a gleam of revenge flashed in her heart.

"It turns out that you are not the person he likes at all, and he never liked you!"

Su Manlei was frightened by her piercing voice, she let go of her hand, and the knife fell to the ground with a sharp sound, Su Manlei fell to the ground all of a sudden, tears streaming down her little face in an instant.

Ji Moqing bent down with a sneer, leaned into her ear and whispered, "Su Manlei, don't you know that Chu Xiaoyi was never yours, never yours, the person he likes is Su Qianxing, it's Su Qianxing, he Never liked you."

"Ah...don't say it anymore, don't say it anymore, get out, get out, I don't want to see you." Su Manlei yelled frantically, crying loudly, almost heartbreaking.

【three】

Looking back, I found that I had already traveled a long, long way, through the darkness and the fog, but it was still as if I had never gone out.

Taking advantage of Su Manlei's insanity, she ran out, until she had run far away from that place, Ji Moqing was panting under the street lamp on the side of the street, and her phone had been lost, she looked up at the dark surroundings, she didn't know What is this place.

What kind of world do you live in?
I can't see the front, I can't see the back, I don't know where I should go...

Zichen must be anxiously looking for her...

"Ji Moqing, so you are here."

If there is anyone in this world who can find your location in the first time, that person must be me.

Along the way, Ji Moqing didn't say a word, and let Chu Xiao hold her hand, the warm warmth and strength passed between his and her palms, it was a warm feeling she hadn't felt for a long time.

two hours ago.

"Ji Moqing, so you are here."

Looking up, it was Chu Xiaoyi who was trotting in her direction.

Ji Moqing looked at him in surprise, but couldn't say a word.

"Are you okay, did Su Manlei do anything to you?" Chu Xiaoyi asked worriedly, the hand holding her was still trembling slightly.

She shook her head, "I'm fine."

"That's good, I'll take you back first." As he said, he squeezed her hand again, "This is the suburb, I have been here with Su Manlei once before, I guess if you are taken away by her, it must be was brought here."

"Oh, is that so?" Ji Moqing said lightly, "Thank you."

As soon as Chu Xiao stopped and stared at her, the yellowish streetlights made his face extraordinarily blurred, "Why do you want me to say thank you?"

"Because nothing is taken for granted in this world, even the closest people have to say thank you." I said this sentence almost without thinking.

"Hehe." Chu Xiao laughed out loud, held her cold hand firmly and walked forward.

two hours later.

"I'll take you here." As soon as Chu Xiao let go of her hand and looked ahead, she had already walked into the community, and at the same time talked with Wen Zichen on the phone, and she should come down to pick her up soon.

"En." Just answered softly, Ji Moqing turned and walked away without looking at him again.

Boom boom, boom boom.

Until the sound of hurried footsteps was getting closer and closer, Ji Moqing looked in the direction of the sound, and a familiar face immediately fell into her eyes, and when she suddenly turned around to look behind her, the light in her eyes immediately disappeared. Dim, he was no longer there.

When she turned around again, Bei Xi, who was running at the front, had already rushed in front of her, "Qingqing, are you okay?"

Bei Xi held her shoulders and looked left and right while following her breath, "You are not injured, are you okay? You have been missing for so long and I am almost dying of panic."

Wen Zichen also walked over slowly, with a smile on his face, "It's fine."

Looking at him, Ji Moqing also nodded with a smile.

Guo Xiaoya also trotted over from behind, tears welling up in her smiling eyes, "It's great that you're fine! We've been looking for you for a long time, and later we asked Chu Xiaoyi to help, unexpectedly he was the only one who found it." you……"

"So you asked him to help you find me?" Ji Moqing sighed softly, "Thank you, Xiao Ya."

Thank you for letting him find me.

Thank you for never giving up hope of finding me.

Thank God, let me have you by my side.

The heater in the living room spreads all over the place.

On the sofa, Ji Moqing and Wen Zichen were sitting face to face, and they hadn't slept all night.

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone straight in from the clear window, reflecting Wen Zichen's side face more handsomely, while Ji Moqing's face was also reflected extraordinarily brightly.

In the clock on the snow-white wall, the hour hand points to eight and the minute hand points to twelve, which is an obtuse angle of 120 degrees, while the second hand forms countless rotating angles on the clock face.

Tap, tap, tap, tap.

Together with the heartbeat and breathing of two people, they rotate together.

--where did you go?Did Su Manlei catch you?
——Do you know how worried I am when I can't find you?
——I'm worried that something as cruel as three years ago will happen to you again.

Wen Zichen didn't ask these words, and Ji Moqing didn't say a word either.

When the hour hand was in the middle of eight and nine, and the minute hand was in the middle of five and six, the mobile phone that had been placed aside began to vibrate strongly, and then the chord ringing became louder and louder.

The time of silence is over.

"Hello, Bei Xi."

"Is it Qingqing?"

"Well, it's me."

"Qingqing, turn on the computer and watch today's news."

"what happened?"

"Almost all websites say that you plagiarized, and they say that your latest serialized novel on "Literature of the Month" is plagiarized!"

The sound of heartbeat and breathing became heavier at this moment.

[Four]

On the morning of March [-]th, Beijing time, at eight o'clock.

Competing reports on major literary newspapers, magazines and literary websites——

Ji Moqing's latest serial "The Brightest Star" in "Literature of the Month" was accused of plagiarizing the work of newcomer writer Chen Shui.

As soon as the news was reported, it was reposted by major websites. According to the news, "Literature of the Month" has not made any statement yet. Everyone speculates whether it is because Ji Moqing is a star writer they have single-handedly picked up, and they want to cover it up?

Eight fifteen.

As soon as the post about plagiarism on Ji Moqing's official website was posted, tens of thousands of people responded within 15 minutes, but [-]% of them still said that they did not believe that their favorite writer would plagiarize other people's works.

Eight thirty.

There was an anonymous post on the official website. The content of the post compared Ji Moqing's new work "The Brightest Star" with the work of the newcomer writer Chen Shui. [-]% of the text was the same.

Eight forty.

In 10 minutes, posts comparing Ji Moqing's new work "The Brightest Star" with newcomer writer Chen Shui's works were reprinted by major literary websites.

Nine o'clock sharp.

The number of readers' replies gradually increased. Due to too many users logging into Ji Moqing's official website, the server was overwhelmed and paralyzed several times.

Two in the afternoon.

Netizens revealed that "Literature of the Month", "The Farthest Distance in the World" and the picture books drawn by Bei Xi were all taken off the shelves in all bookstores in the city.

Until seven o'clock in the evening.

Ji Moqing did not appear on the official website to express her opinion.

Raising his eyes, the sky outside the window had completely darkened. It was pitch black, with no stars at all. When he turned his gaze back to the official website, Ji Moqing hugged himself tightly, his eyes dull.

In the quiet living room, Wen Zichen's low and angry voice echoed in his ears.

"Impossible. The information sent out on the Internet is absolutely untrustworthy. I know her character. It is absolutely impossible for Ji Moqing to do such a thing. I request the company to take immediate action and delete all information about plagiarism."

"What? Can't delete it?"

"Even if this is the case, the company should stand up and express its trust in its writers, right?"

"Many well-known writers have encountered the current situation of being accused of plagiarism, and it is all groundless, with no evidence at all."

"This incident was fabricated without even thinking about it. The company's personnel should find out the instigator of the whole incident as soon as possible."

Standing at such a height, it is inevitable that people will be jealous, right?

After hanging up the phone, Wen Zichen sat next to her, followed her gaze to the computer screen, and after a few seconds, stretched out his hand and pressed the button to turn off the computer and put down the screen.

Holding her slightly trembling shoulders, she said softly, "If you need to rely on me, I can lend you my shoulders for an unlimited period of time."

Ji Moqing closed her eyes and shook her head.

Wen Zichen said again: "Plagiarism is not a big deal, and you didn't do such a thing. No matter what happens, I will help you solve all problems."

Da, da, da, da, da.

The second hand was turning rhythmically with her heartbeat.

- You, just do what you want to do.

The person who said these words had obviously left the place where she was just now, but the words he said still seemed to be lingering in her ears.

Do what you want to do?
Well, just do it.

The next morning, six o'clock.

"Wen Zichen, where did Qingqing go?" In the silent corridor, Bei Xi leaned against the wall holding her mobile phone. There seemed to be no one at Ji Moqing's house. No matter how long he rang the bell, no one came to answer the door.

"……not here?"

Hearing Wen Zichen's tone didn't seem to be worried, Bei Xi became anxious, "What time is it now, why don't you care about her? Aren't you her manager?"

"Because I'm her manager, I'm solving the plagiarism issue for her now."

"It's true to say so, but you shouldn't let her run around. What if someone recognizes her while walking on the street? She is a target of public criticism now..." Bei Xi couldn't help but feel a little heavier when she thought of this. Divide the effort.

"She, not a child, she knows what she's doing."

"Then do you know where she went?" Bei Xi is most concerned about this now.

"...I don't know, she naturally went where she should go."

Bei Xi was furious, and before she could say anything, Wen Zichen's voice came from the phone again, "If you're free, why don't you come over and help me find evidence and help her solve this matter."

"Okay, I'll go over and help you right away, let's solve this damn plagiarism together."

【Fives】

Although it was only six o'clock in the morning and the sky hadn't fully lit up yet, the light and clarity of the morning had lit up every corner of Ziyang Middle School.

Facing the gate of Ziyang Middle School, he turned around and looked at the asphalt road ten meters away——

In that place, three years ago today, that girl left, and today, three years later, she became what she is today, so now, she is standing here.

Moving slowly, Ji Moqing stepped into the school and walked straight towards the direction of the music classroom.

Standing outside the classroom window and looking at the music classroom, the desks and chairs are neatly arranged, the piano with black light on the podium, the clean blackboard, and the snow-white walls...

However, there seems to be something missing.

He took out his phone and checked the time, it was 21:[-].

I'm in the music classroom right now.

After entering a string of mobile phone numbers and pressing the message sending button, I received a message report a few seconds later, and received a reply from the other party a few seconds later——

Information from: Chu Xiaoyi.

I'm here, you just have to turn around to see me.

There was a smile on his lips, and he didn't know what it was like. Looking back, the man was walking towards her, stepping on the slowly rising sun, bathed in the morning baptism.

five.

The hour and second hands on the watch moved again, and the crisp sound echoed her rising and falling heartbeat, jumping together with his advancing steps.

Four.

The wind blew the corners of his clothes, and his hair messed up her long black hair behind her, flying wantonly.

three.

The petals of the blue mist tree fluttered to the feet, and time and space began to condense in an instant.
