It was a link from one of the many comments and the comments were painful to look at from the very top –
[So this beauty screenwriter is just a plagiarist? I remember that her new script Demonswas about to come on air. Could that be plagiarized too?]
[Ugh. That goes without saying!]
[Boycott plagiarist screenwriter! Boycott plagiarized work!]
[I second that! Boycott Demons!!]
[If this show goes on air, I must curse them to death!]
[Em, is that necessary? The actors didn't know that Zhuo Yixuan isn't Mengzhi when the accepted their roles. They are so innocent to be boycotted along with her.]
[Well, sux to be them.]
[Exactly. We cannot allow plagiarized work to go on air!]
[……]
The three had different looks on them after reading the comments.
Qin Yuanyuan looked over at Gu Nian hesitantly, "It won't really affect the launch date of Demons, will it?"
Jiang Qiuyi, too, looked worried but she quickly waved her hands and said, hiding how she truly felt, "Nah, that won't happen. Many shows had scandals that they were plagiarized but they were still shown on air, am I right?"
Gu Nian didn't say anything.
She remained silent for a long time before she turned and headed toward her bedroom. "I am going to go make a phone call."
"Aye––"
Jiang Xiaoqing was about to say something but was stopped by Qin Yuanyuan.
When the room door was closed, Jiang Xiaoqing asked Qin Yuanyuan, worried, "This is, after all, Luo Xiu's first show and his biggest chance of making a comeback. Do you think Gu Nian will be made that my goddess picked this moment to speak up?"
"……"
Qin Yuanyuan looked away from Gu Nian and looked at this Foolish, White, and Sweet for a few seconds wordlessly.
Finally, she could only sigh and stroke Jiang Xiaoqing on her head. "Stop worrying about something so complicated with this head of yours. C'mon, stop thinking about it and think about something happy."
Jiang Xiaoqing, "……? ?"
The first thing that Gu Nian did when she returned to her room was to pick up her phone and called up Luo Xiu.
She scolded herself in her mind as she waited for Luo Xiu to pick up the phone: How could she had forgotten about this possible outcome?
If Demonswas really held back or became collateral damage, then Luo Xiu……
Gu Nian dared not nor did she have the time to finish her thought process when the phone was picked up after a few rings.
The mild and melodious voice vibrated the air next to Gu Nian's ear softly. "Gu Nian?"
"……"
Miraculously, all of her worries and anxieties were gone the moment that he spoke.
Some remained, however, most of them being her guilt.
Gu Nian parted her lips but didn't know what to say.
The other end waited patiently for a few seconds before he asked softly, "How come you are not talking? …… If you have not yet figured out what it was that you wanted to say, you can just give me a grunt so that I will know that you are okay."
"––"
Gu Nian was taken aback a little.
She was so touched that tears almost rolled down her cheeks when she recollected herself.
As such, after the silent, Luo Xiu could hear a dull and nasal sound that hinted to someone crying from the other end of the phone ––
"…Mmm."
She sounded like some aggrieved baby animal.
Luo Xiu let out a sigh of relief. He felt both comical and a heartache at the same time.
He didn't rush her again; just waited quietly for the person on the other end to calm down.
Finally, Gu Nian recovered from her emotional state and said in a low voice mixed in with embarrassment and guilt, "I'm sorry……"
Luo Xiu, "Why are you apologizing?"
Gu Nian was taken aback a little. She didn't answer his question but asked with a guilt conscience, "Did you see the news about Zhuo Yixuan and Mengzhi?"
"Yes."
Gu Nian went silent for a little while longer and said, "I am not sure which direction the public opinions would go or whether or not it would affect the launch date of Demons…… I am sorry I couldn't be of more help."
