Chapter Ninety-one

Ling Miao grabbed the phone and glanced at the display. It was from someone called Zhou Mu. Ling Miao was about to tell Su Yuyang that someone had called when Su Yuyang’s shout came: “Xiao Miao, who is it?”

“Zhou Mu.”

“Answer it for me.”

“Hm?” Ling Miao let out a startled noise. Su Yuyang didn’t hear his reaction and didn’t respond, but the ringing of the phone stopped. After several seconds it rang again and Ling Miao didn’t hesitate this time.

“Hello?”

“Shu Yang, what time are you coming?”

Shu Yang? Hearing the form of address used, Ling Miao was shocked. Not many people knew that Su Yuyang was Shu Yang, and the other person had used Su Yuyang’s penname and phone number. Ling Miao couldn’t guess at all who this could be.

“May I know who this is?”

“You’re not Shu Yang?” The other party was also surprised, but he quickly understood. He laughed and said, “You’re Ling Miao, right? I’m Mu Yu. Your and Shu Yang’s editor.”

“Ah? Oh, uh, Shu Yang’s in the shower. You…”

“Oh, I see.” Hearing Ling Miao’s hesitation, Mu Yu’s tone was understanding. He laughed drily and said, “In that case I won’t disturb you two. I called to confirm when he’d arrive at the hotel so we can send someone to greet you.”

At this time, Su Yuyang walked out. Ling Miao eyed Su Yuyang’s body and, going by his expression, he was more than a little shocked! Ling Miao cursed inwardly, tossed the phone to Su Yuyang, then got his clothes and walked into the bathroom.

Over the phone Mu Yu told Su Yuyang that there would be a secret guest at this Author’s Gathering, one with a strong relationship to Su Yuyang. No matter how Su Yuyang probed Mu Yu refused to say who it was, causing Su Yuyang to feel very curious. He really wanted to rush right over to the hotel to question Mu Yu. Su Yuyang wasn’t too excited or curious, but Mu Yu’s tone was absolutely incorrigible!

After ending the call with Mu Yu, Su Yuyang opened his document and started to write, but he hadn’t written even a few words when his phone rang again.

“Yan Li?” Su Yuyang looked at the phone’s screen and wondered if it was displaying the wrong information. Yan Li and Su Yuyang rarely contacted each other by phone; they mostly corresponded over microblog. Before, when Yan Li had called, it had meant trouble for Su Yuyang.

Su Yuyang uneasily slid the answer button across the touchscreen, but before he could say anything Yan Li’s sly laughter came through the phone. “Surprised to get a call from me, eh?” she said with satisfaction.

Su Yuyang rubbed between his eyes and said exhaustedly, “Do you need to come to my place to take shelter again? Sorry, I’m at my old house.”

“I know you’re at your old house.” Yan Li giggled and Su Yuyang could hear the joy in her voice. He grimaced. “You guessed I’m not doing well over here? Forget it, let’s not talk about me. What do you need?”

“Nothing. I just wanted to ask you if you have time the day after tomorrow. There’s something I need your help with.”

“The day after tomorrow?” Su Yuyang looked at the calendar. “The day after tomorrow I have to be at a gathering my web novel site is organizing. I might not have time.”
