Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Plagiarism Emerges

Zhen Yu was very familiar with the name of this article because in her previous life, it had been hailed by the media as the ’greatest essay ever’!

Death of Red Rabbit!

And the author’s pseudonym made Zhen Yu absolutely floored!

Why choose such a name? It had to be Long Aotian!

With just these two points, Zhen Yu had every reason to confirm that he was a reborn person.

And the mentality of this reborn person was indeed very subtle...

Zhen Yu closed the book and looked up, asking, "Have you read this book?"

Han Mingyue shook her head, "Not yet."

"Then you read it first!" Zhen Yu handed the book back to him, "After you finish, the book is mine."

"Okay." Han Mingyue smiled and put the book back into the envelope, "You’ve finished taking photos, right!"

"Yes." Zhen Yu nodded, "Just waiting for Zhen Yan now."

"They have been in their classroom for quite a while now, they should be finishing up soon, right?"

Just as the two were talking, the door of Zhen Yan’s classroom suddenly opened.

Teacher Jiang came out first, followed by a swarm of students rushing out. Zhen Yan, mixed among them, quickly broke free from the crowd and ran towards the concrete platform.

"Little sister! Little sister!! I got into First High School!!!" Zhen Yan excitedly ran while bouncing.

As his shouting ended, two other voices also sounded not far behind Zhen Yu.

"Really?!"

"That’s great!!"

Fu Yu and Han Jiayang, who had been playing not far away, had somehow come back and almost simultaneously arrived near the concrete platform.

"Let me see!" Fu Yu snatched the admission notice from Zhen Yan’s hand, eagerly flipping it open.

Han Jiayang eagerly leaned in, and the two of them, heads together, scrutinized the notice carefully.

"Wow! It’s a key point!" Han Jiayang slapped Zhen Yan on the shoulder.

"Of course! Didn’t you see how hard I studied before the exams!"

"Ye..." Han Jiayang made a face.

Zhen Yu took the admission notice from Fu Yu’s hand, briefly glanced at it, and calmly put it away.

"Let’s go! I’ll make something delicious for you guys at noon."

"Yeah! Awesome!" The boys shouted excitedly.

"Fu Yu, go call Bai Xue..."

—

Fu Yu took a detour to Bai Xue’s house on the way.

While Zhen Yu was cooking, Bai Xue arrived.

Zhen Yu, busy cooking, only briefly greeted her, "Come in quickly!" and continued with her cooking.

By the time the food was served, Zhen Yu noticed that Bai Xue, usually a poor student, was actually reading a book.

The dishes were all set, and the boys had taken their seats, but Bai Xue still had her hands on the book.

Zhen Yu raised her voice and called out, "Bai Xue! Put down the book, it’s time to eat!"

"Ah? Oh..." Bai Xue reluctantly moved her eyes away from the book, placed it on the kang (traditional heated bed), and moved to the dining table.

"Here." Zhen Yu gave her the chopsticks and bowl, "What book are you reading so intently?"

Better not to have asked.

With that question, Bai Xue started pouring out like a floodgate opened, enthusiastically talking about the book she was reading.

"You study every day at home and never play with me!" Of course! Before starting, she habitually complained about Zhen Yu.

"I went to play with my desk mate, she lent it to me!" Bai Xue excitedly said, "This book is so good! I got addicted as soon as I started reading! The title is ’Dreaming of Falling Flowers’,"

"What?" Zhen Yu almost choked, could it be what she guessed? Just this morning a Long Aotian popped up, and by noon...

Is the world turning into a sieve?

Bai Xue thought she spoke too quickly, which caused Zhen Yu not to hear clearly. So, she patiently repeated it, "The book is called ’Dreaming of Falling Flowers’! It talks about..."

By the time Bai Xue finished spoiling the plot, Zhen Yu confirmed it was Xiao Si’s version, not Sanmao’s.

Zhen Yu paused for a moment, then asked, "Who is the author?"

"The author?" Bai Xue rolled her eyes, she was reading a book! Who cares about that stuff!

"..." Zhen Yu was speechless, "Let’s have dinner first, we’ll talk after."

During the girls’ chat, the few boys didn’t dare to interject, they just quietly listened.

Now that Zhen Yu suggested ’talk after we eat’, the boys continued to eat their meal obediently.

——

After dinner, everyone gathered around the table.

Zhen Yu took the book from Bai Xue’s hands to flip through; the cover design was nice, published by an official publishing house.

The author’s bio didn’t include a picture, pen name—Feng Jiu, female, 9th grader, from Hubei.

She attends that super middle school known nationwide for its secretive test papers and various study materials.

This...is kind of interesting!

The first thing Zhen Yu thought of was the Eternal Love series.

Although she didn’t know how this female writer managed to completely plagiarize a whole book, this person must be extraordinary, so she must have some notable skills!

Who knows if she will plagiarize Eternal Love someday...

Zhen Yu once again personally felt the differences between her current and past lives, especially in film and writing.

Those celebrities from her past life, she wondered if they still had a chance to shine again?

But regardless, none of this was Zhen Yu’s concern.

She neither would plagiarize nor wanted to! She would certainly draw on the experiences of the predecessors, but outright plagiarism was just too much! It crosses the line of basic human decency!

Now that the world’s pace was artificially accelerated, she needed to study harder, to push herself to improve!

And to secure a place in the online literature field in the future, she had to start planning early!

——

Zhen Yu handed the book to Han Mingyue, "Interested? If so, let’s go buy a copy."

Han Mingyue looked at it for about five minutes, nodded, and said to Zhen Yu, "Let’s go to the bookstore this afternoon."

"Okay."

As soon as Zhen Yu finished speaking, several boys shouted, "I’m going too!"

Seeing Zhen Yu’s puzzled look, after exchanging glances for a moment, Fu Yu spoke first, "I want to buy a cassette."

"Me too," said Han Jiayang.

Zhen Yan was silent, but it was obvious he was going too.

"Are you coming? Bai Xue." Zhen Yu turned to Bai Xue who had just taken the book from Han Mingyue.

She looked down at the book, hesitated for a moment, then said, "I’ll go too!"

"Then let’s leave now!"

Zhen Yu called out, and everyone got up. After Zhen Yan locked the door, the group hurried towards the direction of the train station.

"Xiao Yu." Han Mingyue walked side by side with Zhen Yu and Bai Xue, while the other three boys were yelling and horsing around behind them.

"What’s up?" Zhen Yu felt that Han Mingyue seemed to be worried.

"Jiaoyang is going into second year of middle school soon, and," Han Mingyue sounded hesitant, "his grades are really bad."

Zhen Yu nodded, "Yeah. He needs to settle down and focus on his studies."

"So, should I bring him along?" Han Mingyue worried that Zhen Yu might find his brother annoying, as Han Jiayang really couldn’t stay still like he had springs under his butt.

"Sure." Zhen Yu fearlessly agreed.
