Reborn on the Happy Hall + Spoiler

But Deng Yuan is different.

Xu Yihan knew a long time ago that Deng Yuan was different.When he was in high school in the UK and heard the term "gender identity disorder" for the first time, he realized that Deng Yuan was different.

Many years ago, Deng Yuan said to him personally: "Yihan, when there is no one, you can call me... sister."

Chapter 5

That was when Xu Yihan was 11 years old. Old Xu and Deng Xiuli——Xu Yihan's biological mother—divorced and had a hard time, so Xu Yihan was sent back to his hometown by Deng Xiuli to live temporarily.

Jingzhou is very close to Wuhan, and it only takes an hour or ten minutes to take the high-speed rail. There was no high-speed rail in those days. Deng Xiuli took Xu Yihan to the bus. Xu Yihan fell asleep in the car, and when he woke up, he was already in Jingzhou up.

Then they took a taxi again, and finally arrived at Deng Xiuli's natal family, Deng Village.

The night before, Deng Xiuli had quarreled with Lao Xu for a long time. Xu Yihan huddled in his room and listened with his ears, the sound of cursing, smashing, crackling.And at dusk the next day, when he and Deng Xiuli got out of the taxi, in front of them was a village covered in twilight. A few gray magpies flew over his head, and the sound of flapping their wings could be heard clearly.

Deng Xiuli's natal relatives were already waiting at the entrance of the village. There was a huge crowd, some of them even carried hoes and poles.They flocked to Deng Xiuli and Xu Yihan's wife, speaking a dialect that Xu Yihan half understood.It was among this group of people that Xu Yihan met Deng Yuan for the first time.Unlike the villagers who were dressed as farmers, Deng Yuan was wearing a dark green school uniform with a cropped cut and a fair face that looked a bit shy.Deng Xiuli took Xu Yihan to say hello to relatives and elders, telling him one by one, this is the third aunt, this is the cousin... When they arrived at Deng Yuan, Deng Xiuli said, "Han Han, brother, this is your Aunt Ning's son, Xu Yihan then Say obediently, hello brother.Deng Yuan patted Xu Yihan's head and said, hello.Xu Yihan looked down at Deng Yuan's shoes. They were a pair of black sneakers. There was a white checkmark on the outside of the shoe, and four capital letters above the checkmark: NLKE.

Thinking of this, Xu Yihan grinned.

He replied to Deng Yuan: You don't need to pay it back, why are you being polite to me.

Immediately afterwards, he typed two words freely with his fingers: elder sister. Hit the Enter key with a "snap", and "sister" was sent by him.

Xu Yihan felt comfortable all over, every pore was refreshed, he couldn't explain why.

But Deng Yuan did not reply.

Xu Yihan dealt with a pile of official business, but he didn't care whether Deng Yuan replied or not.He was surprisingly productive this afternoon, and even got his work done before he left.Everything went very smoothly. The entry lists of the two companies have all been finalized. The six authors have different styles, both powerful and popular, and there are many hot spots.Xu Yihan could imagine the grand occasion of various gods appearing during the competition.

Instead of driving after get off work, he chose to take the subway to a bar he had heard of before.Today he wants to drink two glasses.

This is a gay bar.

Xu Yihan is bisexual, and he talked with both boyfriend and girlfriend when he was in England.After returning to China, he was very honest. He didn't go to the bar once, let alone find someone to spend the night.One is that he is busy with work, and the other is that he is afraid of being caught by others.

But today he wants to relax and relax.

Xu Yihan is 1.8 meters tall, with a broad frame, broad shoulders and long legs.He was wearing a slim-fit suit, with a button unbuttoned at the neckline of his shirt, and his tie was directly rolled up on the bar counter.

Soon a boy with makeup on his face approached, looking closely like a student.He blinked at Xu Yihan: "Come to play alone?"

Xu Yihan nodded with a smile: "Are you too?"

"I came with my classmates," the boy said frankly, "and he went on a date."

"Still in college?"

"Well, I learned to dance."

Xu Yihan thought of a boy of Chinese origin whom he dated when he was traveling in Paris last year. He also learned to dance, and there were many tricks.

His body was about to move, and Xu Yihan asked the boy, "What would you like to drink? I invite you." Just as he finished speaking, the phone rang.Xu Yihan patted the boy's arm lightly: "Wait a minute." At this moment he didn't want to answer the phone at all, but the call was from Zhao Xin, so he still had to answer it.

The boy nodded with a smile.

"Xu Yihan." Zhao Xin's voice seemed particularly dignified.

"……What's wrong?"

"I need your help with something."

"So solemn?" Xu Yihan said casually, "It can't be that you want to participate in the competition."

Zhao Xin: "Yes, I want to participate."

Xu Yihan: "..."

"I want to compete, can you give me a place?"

Xu Yihan: "..."

Zhao Xin sighed: "This matter is very important to me, and I won't be able to explain it clearly for a while. If you absolutely need me to explain, I can also—"

"Master, I'm calling you Master," Xu Yihan broke down, ignoring the little handsome man beside him, "I persuaded you for so long and you refused to participate, but now that the list has just been finalized and you want to participate, what do you want me to do? Who do you say I replaced and let you take the top? How can I explain it to others?"

"Aren't you engaged in serious literature? Don't you have a crush on those authors? I'm so stupid," Xu Yihan said irritably, "I'm convinced."

Zhao Xin said in a low voice, "I also just read his article."

Xu Yihan was not at all interested in asking who "he" was, he grabbed his tie, left the little handsome boy, and walked straight out of the bar.

"Okay, if you really want to participate, I can help you find a way, but I have conditions."

Zhao Xin: "What conditions?"

"Your contract with Haosheng is about to expire, right?" Xu Yihan said as he walked forward.

"...is due in October this year."

"After the expiration, sign a contract with Weilan, at least five years," Xu Yihan grinned, "On this condition."

Zhao Xin said helplessly: "Is there such a big difference? Isn't Haosheng also bought by your family?"

Xu Yihan knew that he had caught Zhao Xin's handle, and asked aggressively: "What do you think? Am I the same as Xu Yize? Oh yes, why don't you go to Xu Yize to get you a spot? Now he is the Your boss."

Zhao Xin was silent for a few seconds, and said, "Because I need to keep it secret, I don't want Xu Yize to participate in this matter."

Xu Yihan reminded against his conscience: "It was originally written anonymously."

"Come on, what do you guys think?" Zhao Xin said, "Anonymity is just a gimmick. As long as the authors write articles, they will be recognized by readers sooner or later. If they can really remain anonymous from beginning to end, the popularity of this competition will be at least It will be reduced by half. And what you want is the effect of fans fighting? And, I guess, the participating authors should all know who each other is."

Xu Yihan smiled: "It's pretty clever. What do you mean, you want everyone to never know who you are? But your readers will recognize you through words."

"I'll change my style, and most importantly, if other authors ask... don't say it's me."

Xu Yihan became interested: "Why are you acting like a thief? What, you want a bonus, and you don't want to ruin your reputation as a serious literary author?"

Zhao Xin sighed: "Don't laugh at me, I'm serious... I can't explain this matter in a few words. When will you return to Wuhan, we can talk about it face to face."

"Okay, then you remember, my conditions."

"Okay, we will do what we say."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Yihan stopped, recalling Zhao Xin's words carefully.

Haosheng is indeed owned by the Xu family - the elder Xu bought Haosheng before and handed it over to Xu Yize for management.Xu Yi is Xu Yihan's elder brother, likewise, half-brother.Thinking of this, Xu Yihan couldn't help but feel that Old Xu was quite funny. He had been married and divorced all his life, with four children and four mothers.Of course, maybe Old Xu didn't care about the relationship between his children, but Xu Yihan didn't know what he cared about.

This time Zhao Xin is also really interesting, Xu Yihan has known Zhao Xin since he was a child, Zhao Xin has always been a decisive and uncompromising person, before he said he would not participate in the competition, Xu Yihan persuaded him for a long time, but he still did not participate.

Why did you suddenly change your mind and ask for anonymity from other contestants?Other contestants—by the way, canned octopus.This afternoon, an editor came to ask how to deal with this matter. After all, canned octopus is their default contestant. It is not very good to have a "plagiarism" at this juncture.Xu Yihan didn't care about it, and was even a little happy: tearing up?OK, just in time to heat up their game.These days, only when there is popularity can one attract attention and make money—as for how the popularity comes from, with all due respect, whoever cares is a fool.

Could it be that Zhao Xin participated in the competition because of the canned octopus?Is there something tricky between these two people?

The more Xu Yihan thought about it, the more excited he became, and he said that he would go back to Wuhan the day after tomorrow to celebrate Lao Xu's birthday, so he must catch Zhao Xin and ask him about it.It would be even better if they could use the two of them to hype it up.
