Be a real Phoenix man

"Qingluan, are you okay?" the man on the other end of the phone repeated carefully.

The space opposite seemed very quiet and far away, far from being chaotic and noisy as in the video, so quiet that the man's breathing could be clearly heard.

Ye Qingluan couldn't believe it, he checked the phone screen again.What was displayed on the screen was indeed a call from Feng into my arms.

"I..." he opened his mouth with difficulty, rolling his throat subconsciously: "You...do you know who I am?"

This time, the other party was silent.Fortunately, the other party was only silent for two seconds before speaking again: "I know." The three simple words were extremely calm and powerful.

"Then..." Ye Qingluan stuck there without embarrassment, hesitated for a long time, but couldn't think of anything to say, and remained silent.

The person opposite was very patient. He waited until Ye Qingluan stopped talking before opening his mouth again: "Qingluan, I will definitely give you an account of what happened in the past two days. Those who wantonly slandered and insulted you People, I will definitely take them to court and pay you back."

Take it to court...Repay your reputation...

Ye Qingluan suddenly remembered what that man, Fang Yibai, said in that video.And this one on the phone is so similar, no, it's exactly the same voice.

The phoenix in my arms is Fang Yibai.

Fang Yibai is a phoenix in my arms...

Ye Qingluan suddenly felt that his heart skipped a beat, and then suddenly beat like a drum.If, if Fang Yibai knew, the young man he helped that day was Ye Qingluan, Qingluan walking on the ground... Or did he already know?

His mood suddenly jumped to the extreme, as if he was sitting on a swing riding the wind, and the blue sky in the distance was within reach. He couldn't wait to ask clearly, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of his side again. The tail feathers are too dazzling to ignore.

As if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head, Ye Qingluan froze in place.

A monster with a tail should hide and not contact anyone at all.Why did he believe that Fang Yibai was willing to care about him and warm him as usual after he knew the terrible truth about him, instead of avoiding him out of fear?

Maybe, even the only loyal reader ID "Phoenix into My Arms" will disappear from now on...

The person opposite noticed something strange and paused: "Qingluan, are you listening?"

Ye Qingluan didn't speak, and after a long delay, he replied in a low voice, "Yes."

The voice sounded a little low, but also light as if he didn't care. He couldn't help but make Fang Yibai on the other end of the phone feel nervous.

This is the first time he has spoken with Qingluan.Before picking up the phone, he even auditioned his own voice several times against the recording.

Qingluan likes people with nice voices, so he must present his most perfect voice to him.

Fang Yibai coughed softly. He held back his speculations and continued to say, "But Qingluan, I... also need a little cooperation from you."

Unable to hear the response from the person opposite, Fang Yibai couldn't help but hold his breath, suddenly feeling embarrassed and worried about being rejected.

The first time he talked with Qingluan, he made a request to Qingluan, which might make Qingluan impatient.

But he had no choice but to continue: "Only with your cooperation can all netizens and readers really be convinced. Therefore, I, as the editor-in-chief of Hualin Publishing House, invite you to participate in the Internet Literature Selection Competition sponsored by our publishing house. Can you come and join us?"

Those who spread rumors, he will take them to court, but the turmoil of public opinion will only subside if good works are produced.

Even for a second, he didn't want Qingluan to be slandered and abused any more. He couldn't wait to let everyone see his Qingluan's true talent.

Therefore, he came up with this plan: on the official websites of Hualin and Ruoshui Literature Network, jointly hold an online literature selection competition, anonymously participate in the anonymous selection, and let all readers vote to decide the winner, within a three-month period, the highest number of votes Candidates are eligible to participate in the author conference three months later.

In this way, the level of the article can be judged immediately.Those rumors will be self-defeating, and Qingluan can restore her reputation.

He believed that as long as Qingluan participated anonymously, without the interference of messy voices, he would be able to write a work that would shut everyone up.

In the first two years, wasn't Qingluan just like this, enduring the unknown bitterness and growing up all the way?

It's just that before the plan is announced, he must obtain Qingluan's consent.

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, Fang Yibai couldn't help being nervous, he held the phone even tighter.

In fact, Ye Qingluan was more nervous than him. He listened carefully, to the point where every word and tone of the man opposite him was heard carefully.

There's nothing wrong with that, the man whose voice is so nice that he can't let go is the phoenix in my arms.The phoenix in my arms is Fang Yibai.

There were dots of flames flickering up from his heart, scratching his heart and lungs so that it was unbearably itchy and hot.

Fang Yibai is caring about him now, thinking of ways for him thoughtfully, and explaining to him patiently.

How incredible, how wonderful, how he couldn't help himself.Ye Qingluan could feel a faint restlessness at the tip of his tail again, and an intoxicating warm current flowed through his whole body like an electric current.

He almost couldn't hold back his humming.

Ye Qingluan quickly bit his lower lip, and after a long while, he said with difficulty: "I'm sorry, I can't participate, sorry." He closed his eyes and hung up the phone.

The ripples at the tip of the tail disappeared at this moment, and then lightly fell to the ground.

Ye Qingluan felt exhausted for a while, he tilted his body, and fell into a deep sleep again.

In his dream, he couldn't help but be tempted to participate in the online essay competition, and he was in very good condition. If he wrote the pen with the help of a god, he got a good ranking as he wished.

Fang Yibai personally presented the award to him, and the man had a handsome and charming smile on his face when he looked at him, everything was beautiful.

The accident also started at this time.

The man's magnetic and charming voice rang in his ears, and for some reason, it made his mind flutter.At this moment, an astonishing change occurred in his body, terrifying feathers that were bigger than a peacock's tail crazily drilled out of his body.

With a scream, he was pushed off the podium by the man in horror.

The severe pain made him frown even in his dream.

At that time, Hualin Literature Publishing House.

Gu Xiaotang was almost driven crazy.There were so many things to do in the past two days that it was the first time for her, the assistant to the editor-in-chief who had been employed for more than two years, to truly feel what it was like to be overwhelmed.

This side has to be busy hiring lawyers, reporting the case, and preparing to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the rumorer, while the other side is trying every means to appease various reporters. It is bound to suppress this incident.

During this process, she was in contact with many things for the first time, such as hiring a lawyer, such as contacting major media, public big V, she did it very jerky.Fang Yibai would not give her a chance to breathe, but was a little more severe than usual.

This made her feel a strange fear of her cousin.

After all, although Fang Yibai used to be rigorous and meticulous in his work, he still had some human touch, but now... She was scolded by Fang Yibai sternly just because she was slow in delivering the documents yesterday morning, and yesterday afternoon, Because Fang Yibai didn't notify the boss of the request from Ruohydrology.com in time, Fang Yibai's face suddenly became cold and dark, and she was able to squeeze out water, which made her feel a shudder in her back when she thought about it now.

This is not right, very wrong.Gu Xiaotang vaguely felt that Fang Yibai was not only strict, but more like losing his composure...

No matter how big things happened before, Fang Yibai had never been like this.

Gu Xiaotang couldn't figure it out, so she had to put the matter aside for the time being. Now she and Editor-in-Chief He couldn't bear the pressure of the reporters from all sides, so she could only come here to ask Fang Yibai for instructions.

However, at this time, Fang Yibai suddenly closed the door and refused!

While Gu Xiaotang was anxious, she couldn’t help worrying. She wandered around outside the office like a headless chicken. The people around her were in a hurry, and they were all rushing back and forth to prepare for the high-profile Internet essay competition that was about to be announced at the press conference. No one paid any attention to her. Gu Xiaotang's embarrassment.Only editor-in-chief He kept urging her.

There was a reporter who didn't take the hard way and was very difficult to deal with. Neither she nor Editor-in-Chief He could do anything.

Gu Xiaotang took a deep breath, she looked at the closed door of the office, feeling quite depressed.

After knocking five or six times, Fang Yibai didn't answer.

Then she had to—

Gu Xiaotang took out the spare key borrowed from the duty room downstairs, and opened the door of the office with a click.

Fang Yibai was not inside.

Maybe it was in the lounge in the inner room—but only Fang Yibai had the key to the lounge, but she couldn't open it.

More likely, did Fang Yibai leave the office early today?

Gu Xiaotang looked around anxiously with some doubts, hoping to find traces of Fang Yibai's visit.

Her eyes subconsciously stayed on Fang Yibai's table, and suddenly she couldn't move away.

It was very neat, the only thing that was different from the last time she saw it was the addition of a photo.

Trance is a one-inch photo with a light blue background, lying on the smooth surface of pure black paint, it looks particularly eye-catching.

Gu Xiaotang walked over curiously and glanced at it, then was completely stunned.

She has seen the people in the photo.Not only have I seen it, but I am also very familiar with it.

She couldn't help but took out her mobile phone, swiped her fingers across the screen quickly, and then tremblingly opened a certain payment software.The first friend in the address book, "A Qingluan who can't bark", has the same profile picture as this photo.

Gu Xiaotang has clicked on this profile picture many times.The young man in the picture has delicate and handsome eyebrows, and a shy and clean smile like the gentle breeze of early autumn. He is somewhat similar to the male god Ye Qingluan she admires, but it seems to be qualitatively different.

They are so different as if they are two completely different people, and they are so similar as if the same soul is hidden in that smile.

After adding Ye Qingluan that day, Gu Xiaotang asked him while the iron was hot, is this profile picture his brother?

The answer was no.The person in this portrait turned out to be himself.

Gu Xiaotang remembered her shock at the time - if it wasn't for Ye Qingluan's use of this photo as her profile picture, which aroused her suspicion, just looking at this photo, she would never have guessed that this person was Ye Qingluan himself.

After all, although the outlines of the two people are similar, they are like the difference between rough jade and beautiful jade. One is ignorant and simple, while the other is so eye-catching that people can't take their eyes off it.

It was unbelievable, but when Ye Qingluan said it himself, Gu Xiaotang believed it without hesitation.

But now, she actually found Ye Qingluan's photo on his cousin's desk...

Is she mistaken?She couldn't help but picked up the one-inch photo and wanted to look at it carefully, but at this moment she heard a slight knock on the door of the lounge.

It's Fang Yibai!

Fang Yibai's appearance didn't look different, his gaze passed over Gu Xiaotang's body coldly, and then stopped coldly like an ice thorn on Gu Xiaotang's hand holding the photo.

Gu Xiaotang was startled subconsciously, and the photo fell on the desktop.

"Boss, I didn't mean it, I was looking at you..." She explained and apologized reflexively, but Fang Yibai didn't even look at her.He went straight to the desk, picked up the photo with his head down, and then his eyes stopped on it.

Gu Xiaotang watched Fang Yibai's actions in surprise.Fang Yibai's expression changed too obviously, as if an ice cube was suddenly blown by the spring breeze and turned into a pool of soft spring water, flowing and glued to the one-inch photo.

Fang Yibai stared at it for a long time, then walked around her and put the photo in the drawer.

"go out."

Gu Xiaotang was stunned for a while, and it took him a while to realize that this sentence was addressed to her.

"Boss, I..." Gu Xiaotang tried to explain a few more words.

"Get out. I've taught you everything, don't let me say it a second time." Apart from that, Fang Yibai refused to say any more, his voice was hoarse and deep as if he had been hungover all night , but there was no unpleasant smell of alcohol in the air.

Gu Xiaotang bit her lip, she glanced at the silent Fang Yibai again, closed the door and left without saying anything.My heart is like beating a drum.

Why did Fang Yibai have a photo of Ye Qingluan?

Why did he look at that photo with eyes like that? !

She stumbled all the way back to her office. She didn't see anyone greeting her in the corridor. Then she reported to Editor-in-Chief He, printed and distributed materials, arranged meetings, and discussed the next countermeasures. What did you do.

On the other side, Fang Yibai sat alone in the office.

Twenty hours have passed since Qingluan hung up his phone yesterday.During this period, no matter how he texted or called, Qingluan refused to respond to him at all.

In the end, the other party simply turned off the phone and called again, only the cold mechanical electronic voice repeated tirelessly inside.

Qingluan didn't want to reply to him anymore, Qingluan refused to cooperate.

A sense of irritability that had nowhere to escape pervaded the air again.During the day, he can hold meetings, make decisions, and arrange work as if nothing had happened. He can use legal means to shut up all those noisy Internet celebrities, and he can also try his best to help Qingluan restore his image, but no matter how hard he tries, Qingluan will never be able to stop. Luan's refusal to cooperate is useless in the end.

After a lot of work, instead of making Qingluan fall in love with her, it made him loathe her from now on.

Fang Yibai felt great panic for the first time.If Qingluan refuses to talk to him again, what is the purpose of all his efforts to hold an author conference, an online essay competition, and even to move the publishing house's headquarters from Beijing to Yicheng?

Is it just for a phone call that can't get through?

Fang Yibai took out the one-inch photo again—he kept repeating this action throughout the day, picking it up and putting it down, putting it down and picking it up again.

The young man's smile was pure and beautiful in the one-inch photo, but now it seems so cold and distant.

He also opened Qingluan's writing column over and over again.It's been three days, and Qingluan hasn't made any updates for three consecutive days.

Three days ago, it happened to be the day when rumors abounded on Weibo.

Fang Yibai clenched his fists, and he stood up abruptly—because of the sleepless night and the hangover, his footsteps shook slightly, but the next moment he stood firm and strode out out of the office.

He had to meet Qingluan and apologize to him personally.
