The Plan Worked

The dead Li Long had not only impressed Wu Wei; he had impressed Mo Yu even more.

"Are you Wu Wei?"

"Yes, I'm Wu Wei."

"Don't you write web novels?"

"Look at this face. Do I need to make money with talent?" Wu Wei countered.

His shameless retort left Mo Yu speechless with frustration.

But she had to admit that Wu Wei had a point.

Why did she like Li Long?

Wasn't it because the person in that photo was just so handsome?

"So you're saying I fell for your face and Li Long's talent?" Mo Yu couldn't believe it.

Wu Wei, meanwhile, was left questioning everything he knew.

What had this girl been through to come up with something so philosophical?

"I need a moment. I can't accept this."

Mo Yu vanished.

Leaving Wu Wei standing there, utterly bewildered.

He was having a hard time accepting this, too.

What kind of person was Mo Yu, anyway?

And Li Long was such a scumbag, going after his own fan.

He'd even said he liked Lan Meng.

Well, he did seem to genuinely like Lan Meng.

But he'd still tried to have two women at once. What a jerk.

And he'd used Wu Wei's photo and name to do it. Disgusting.

"You really don't write novels?"

Mo Yu suddenly poked her head out of the computer again.

Wu Wei: "...I really don't."

"What a shame. Could you give me a photo of Li Long?" Mo Yu asked, looking a little disappointed.

Wu Wei rummaged through Li Long's files and pulled out one of his photos.

He wasn't ugly, but he wasn't handsome either. Pretty much an average guy.

Mo Yu frowned.

If she'd never met Wu Wei, she might have settled for that.

But now, there was no way she could find Li Long attractive.

"Wu Wei, you should write novels." Mo Yu abruptly looked up and earnestly made the suggestion.

Wu Wei fell silent, thinking, What the hell is wrong with her?

"Li Long's dead, isn't he? You could take his place and completely assume his identity."

The more Mo Yu thought about it, the more excited she got.

That way, wouldn't she still be in love with the same person?

"Listen, Li Long may have deceived you, but he wouldn't cheat the website. The bank account he used was still his own. Even if I wrote, I wouldn't get the money."

Mo Yu hadn't shown him any malice, so Wu Wei couldn't be bothered to make an enemy of her.

Overall, Wu Wei was actually a peace-loving person.

Even though he was pregnant with a daughter and urgently needed a power bank.

As long as Mo Yu didn't go looking for trouble, Wu Wei had no desire to cause any for her.

Mo Yu had no idea that, in Wu Wei's eyes, she was nothing more than a power bank. She thought her dramatic entrance had completely stunned him.

Seeing that Wu Wei was worried about the money, Mo Yu said generously, "Don't worry about that. I'll pay you whatever you make on the author's dashboard each month. How's that?"

Wu Wei blinked. "Are you trying to keep me?"

Mo Yu blushed and said bashfully, "That sounds so embarrassing. I just admire your talent, that's all."

"Are you sure it's not my face?"

Women really were hypocrites.

Mo Yu blushed even more.

"Couldn't you at least let me save some face?"

"Sorry, I don't sell my art, and I don't sell my body. You should go find someone else."

Mo Yu's eyes widened. She pouted and said angrily, "Why won't you say yes? Don't you like me?"

Qi Lin gave Mo Yu a careful look. Delicate little face, pert nose, big sparkling eyes... She really was beautiful.

But he genuinely wasn't interested.

Because he wasn't a beast.

This girl looked young. She couldn't be older than fourteen, could she?

That would be illegal.

"Miss, do you want me to tell the truth or a lie?"

"The truth, of course."

"The truth is, I'm too exceptional for you. You're not good enough for me."

Mo Yu: "..."

"What about the lie?" She was on the verge of tears.

Wu Wei said solemnly, "I'm a prestigious Heartmoon VIP, while you're just an ordinary SVIP QQ member. You're not good enough for me."

Mo Yu ground her teeth, ready to kill him.

"Are you an adult yet?"

"Of course. I'm eighteen."

"So you're a legal loli." Wu Wei muttered it under his breath, but his heart remained unmoved.

The girl was pretty enough, but she wasn't very bright.

Li Long had managed to trick her, and he was hardly a genius. Wu Wei was sure he could never like a girl that foolish.

So he'd let her keep drooling over his face.

"Anything else? If not, you can leave." Wu Wei began showing her the door.

Mo Yu gazed at Wu Wei's cold face, liking him more with every passing moment.

"Wu Wei, do you dislike me because I used to like Li Long?"

Wu Wei shrugged, too lazy to even respond.

"Li Long and I were just chatting casually."

That was quite the definition of casual.

"Li Long used to chat casually with people online all the time, too," Wu Wei said offhandedly.

"Huh?"

"In our dorm, Li Long had a nickname: the Saint Demon of No Fap. He never seemed to have any interest in that sort of thing, but he was especially keen on chatting with girls online."

Wu Wei sifted through his memories and realized just how weird Li Long had been.

Mo Yu's worldview was undergoing a difficult reconstruction.

"What was he after?"

"How should I know what goes on in a pervert's head?" Wu Wei replied matter-of-factly. "Would a normal man use my photo to flirt with other girls?"

Before meeting Mo Yu, Wu Wei had never imagined anything like this could happen.

"Enough about Li Long. Wu Wei, will you be my boyfriend?"

"No."

As soon as he said no, Wu Wei felt his eyelids growing heavy.

Mo Yu, you're really asking for trouble.

The thought flashed through Wu Wei's mind. Then he saw his surroundings completely change.

An illusion? Or a dream?

Wu Wei wasn't sure, but he stayed on his guard.

Meanwhile, Mo Yu clapped her hands in triumph and even whistled.

"Reject me, will you? I'll keep you trapped in the Ghost Illusion Realm for two hours. You'll come crawling to me for help!"

Mo Yu had complete confidence in her Ghost Illusion Realm. Once a person entered, the most terrifying ghost in their heart would appear.

Ghosts killed people and even ate them. Faced with such a scene, any ordinary person would be scared witless and beg for help.

Then Mo Yu would swoop in to save the day, and Wu Wei would bow down to her. Plan successful.

That was what Mo Yu thought as she sent her consciousness into the illusion.

The sight made her face freeze.

"What are you doing?" Mo Yu shrieked.

Wu Wei ignored her and continued.

After entering the illusion, he saw a disheveled female ghost crawling out of the television.

Wu Wei himself jumped.

But he was sure it was fake, or maybe just a nightmare. After thinking it over, Wu Wei simply tackled the female ghost.

An illusion was supposed to scare people.

The same went for nightmares.

So he might as well rewrite the script.

Wu Wei didn't believe the script included a scene like this.

Sure enough, just as Wu Wei was about to tackle the female ghost, the illusion vanished.

A faint smile curled Wu Wei's lips.

Now that was what he called a plan well executed.
