Yu Yaoyao never doubted anyone. Her way of thinking was simple. She would already feel wonderful when she can eat, drink, sleep and have fun. She didn’t think much about deeper issues. For example, she liked reading romance novels, but she neither followed the author’s Weibo, even if she liked them, nor joined any novel discussion group. As long as the author updated regularly, she would feel good enough!
Therefore, after looking at the author’s message, she was a little dumbfounded. She had always regarded the section as a place where the writer’s request for leave would appear. Dacheng rarely gave spoilers or explanation of the plot. Sometimes, Yaoyao wouldn’t even read the message here and would just skip through them. But when she was reminded by Shen Yichong today, she found an abnormality.
“Darling, lend me your cell phone,” she said. Yu Yaoyao then took her husband’s mobile phone in the next second.
Shen Yichong raised his eyebrows, but he just let her do as she pleased. She unlocked the phone with her fingerprint, since her record was also saved in his system; She also knew all his passwords. There were no secrets on his phone.
But Shen Yichong was still a little curious on what his wife was going to do. So, he moved closer to take a look. In the end, he saw Yu Yaoyao put the two mobile phones together. She downloaded the reading app on Shen Yichong’s mobile phone and subscribed to all of Dacheng’s novels. Seeing this, Shen Yichong’s mouth twitched.
At the same time, she opened her Wechat, clicked on Big Head’s contact details to check on her status… She also spread out a piece of paper on the table as she puffed out her cheeks.
Starting from the latest chapter, she checked the time of the author’s message and Big Head’s status one by one…!
On 7:13 pm, Dacheng went to the cafe, and Big Head’s status showed a beautiful photo of the cafe and the computer screen.
On 6:25 pm, Dacheng said she was getting a haircut to change her mood, and Big Head posted a selfie of her new hairstyle on the status.
On 5:15 pm, Dacheng had a hot pot dinner, and a picture of hot pot appeared of Big Head’s status!
On 4.13 pm, Dacheng asked for leave due to a cold, and photos of queuing up at the hospital outpatient department appeared in Big Head’s status.
It was amazingly consistent!
“Oh my God! Darling!” Yaoyao exclaimed. After comparing, Yu Yaoyao almost scared herself. With a surprised expression, she waved to Shen Yichong and asked him to come over quickly. Shen Yichong had always been there, and he just watched her write those things.
But… how can she just find this out after almost a year or two? She was even so shocked… So, at this moment, should he cooperate with her and look shocked? Or would he be considered an accomplice in hiding Fang Qiuye’s true identity?
“Darling! Big Head is a person with status!”
For the first time, Yu Yaoyao felt a miracle. The author who she loved so much was so close to her. ‘Dacheng was Big Head?? Fantastic!’
“Yeah…”
Shen Yichong hesitated for a while before giving an ambiguous response. But Yu Yaoyao didn’t care about him anymore. After being shocked, what came was surprise and excitement! She had been talking to the author herself about the plot? Isn’t that too fantastic!?
“Darling, I’m going to ask Big Head!” Yu Yaoyao clenched her fist excitedly. But after a second, she shook her head quickly.
“No, no! I have to compare it again. I must at least compare the author’s messages on the two books with the status before I can draw a conclusion!”
Big Head and Fang Qiuye’s status were relatively neat. She didn’t post frequently, nor did she strictly post on a schedule. Hence, all her past status could still be tracked. Yu Yaoyao suddenly felt that this task of capturing clues was quite fun.
“Well, Big Head must be testing me,” she said. “The last time, Dacheng said that she wanted to write a novel with a logical theme, but she was afraid that readers would not like to read it… Hehe, she must be testing me! Holmes Yao is online!”
Shen Yichong: “…”
He simply went to the living room to bring her milk. Half an hour later, Yu Yaoyao held a sheet of paper that was densely filled. The curvature of the corners of her mouth became wider and wider, and the brilliance in her eyes shone brighter.
“Darling, I am very sure now!” she exclaimed happily. “Big Head and Dacheng are the same person! There can’t be so many coincidences!”
Shen Yichong pressed his temples and finally asked the question he had always been curious about. “You’ve known each other for so long, did you never ask about her occupation?” he said.
He had also met Fang Qiuye many times, and she didn’t seem to be a con artist. He was afraid that she didn’t even have the courage to lie to Yu Yaoyao.
Yu Yaoyao turned her head and showed a confused face. “Huh? I always thought she was someone you hired to write compliments about me to make me happy,” she replied.
Shen Yichong: “…”
“Didn’t you tell Chen Lin last time that you want to find a fan president for Zhao Xiaomeng?”
Yu Yaoyao pouted. When she heard their conversation, she thought that Big Head was also one of Shen Yichong’s employees.
“You’re thinking too much…” Shen Yichong looked at his wife, and his expression was indescribable. But he still added, “This kind of sincere praise is more suitable for you.”
As expected, Yu Yaoyao was really delighted by this disguised flattery. She smiled like a flower. She leaned on top of him and kissed him on the face!

On the other hand, Fang Qiuye didn’t know that her identity had been revealed. She was diligently writing today’s update. When she was out of ideas or was tired of writing, she would look up and glance at the English vocabulary note pasted on the wall! Memorizing 20 vocabulary words, reading English materials for 30 minutes, and doing translations were her daily homework.
Suddenly, her phone rang. Fang Qiuye silently memorized the third vocabulary word before picking up the phone.
[Teacher Gong: Do you want to have dinner together?]
She propped her head with her right hand, looked at the word count of the document on the screen, and sighed deeply.
Then, she replied.
[No, I haven’t finished writing what’s needed for today.]
The screen came back on after a while.
[Teacher Gong: How many words are left?]
This question was very poignant. Fang Qiuye hugged the pillow behind her, fell on the table and wailed.
[There are 4309 words left..! Ahhh, I really want to travel three hours later, the happy hour when I have already finished writing this chapter!]
[Teacher Gong: Break a leg. Don’t forget to stand up and drink water often.]
The corners of Fang Qiuye’s mouth twitched up. She held the phone tightly in her palms happily and replied ‘ok’ with a smile.
After that, she sent a voice message to her best friend, Ye Yun: “I take back the words I said before. It’s good for a man to be a teacher~ Their IQ and EQ are both quite high… They also take care of others. His words are also sweet like they were wrapped in honey.”
This sentence, she was embarrassed to say it, but it appeared in her mind.
“Well, in the next book, we can consider writing a university professor as the male protagonist!” As Fang Qiuye thought, her eyes brightened. Such a male protagonist was handsome, gentle, considerate and cultural…
Three hours later, she finished the latest chapter. Like a flying bird, she jumped onto the sofa. When she leaned on it and watched TV, her phone rang.
[Teacher Gong sent you a file: A list of movies you should watch to learn English. Change your focus. Watch it when you are resting, I am also reviewing it.]
Fang Qiuye smiled happily. Since they didn’t have time to go to the cinema, so they both stayed at home to watch the same movie at the same time, on their own sofas? Although they were separated from each other, they might miss each other at the same time as they looked at the same picture.
Teacher Gong… was very good at flirting! She got up and picked up the small notebook next to her. Then, she turned it towards the page that said ‘Men flirting with women’ and wrote down. This was good material! Teacher Gong’s method was much better than the male protagonist she wrote!
Her heart… After Fang Qiuye finished writing, she touched her thumping little heart with a flushed face. While she was smiling sweetly, her phone vibrated again. She picked up the phone immediately.
[Teacher Gong: You can practice listening to the conversation between the men and women and memorize as much as you can. Show it to me tomorrow and I’ll give corrections.]
[Teacher Gong: Languages are all linked. Learning English conversations and expressions will also help you to write better novels.]
Fang Qiuye: “!!!”
In a fit of anger, she sent an emoticon to Teacher Gong. Then, she threw the phone on the sofa with a flick of her hand. But the phone rang. Fang Qiuye gritted her teeth. Were the text messages not enough that he even had to make a phone call to set up homework for her? She took a deep breath and pressed the answer button.
“Bro, I’m begging you to let me go. I really have a lot of updates every day, and I really don’t plan to retake the college entrance examination!” she wailed. “I’m already working hard to learn to speak English! Let’s take it slow, okay?!”
Fang Qiuye wanted to cry as she spoke. Mom, you don’t know that your daughter was about to be tortured to death by her blind date!
“Dacheng… so you are updating!”
Opposite of what she expected, a charming voice came from the phone. Fang Qiuye’s hands trembled. Her heart thumped heavily when she put her phone down. She almost cried when she saw the caller ID.
“Yaoyao…?”
It turned out to be her goddess! What did she just say? No, what did her goddess call her just now? She heard it wrong. She must have heard it wrong!
“Uh, I’m just updating the praises I wrote for you… Well, I’m almost done… I’ll post it to you later,” she said.
Fang Qiuye wiped the sweat from her forehead. She didn’t want to deceive Yaoyao. But writing romance novels felt too shameful. She was embarrassed to speak. And concealing it from the very beginning made it harder to speak the truth in the end. She should just keep hiding it. Otherwise, her deception in the past would be exposed. However, there was a moment of silence over the phone.
“…Updating praises? Is it a praise written and recited by your male lead, after being forced by the female lead?” Yu Yaoyao’s voice came.
Fang Qiuye blinked and jumped up abruptly. She quickly sat back at her computer desk. She clicked the mouse and read the latest chapter that she just finished and uploaded. Right, she wrote this today!
“I…” Fang Qiuye started.
“Right, Dacheng,” Yaoyao said. “You haven’t had dinner today, and you even refused to have a date with your boyfriend in order to catch up with the draft. Right?!”
As Fang Qiuye listened, she covered her mouth in shock. Trembling, she glanced at the author’s message she had just posted along with the draft. Well, she did post about herself. Chatting with readers from time to time was one of her pleasures.
“It…”
Fang Qiuye’s mind went blank. Yu Yaoyao’s voice came again. “Big head, you just posted on your status that you’re enjoying the time after work, lying on the sofa and waiting for takeout!” she continued. “The time of your status is the same as the time when you released the update!”
Yaoyao exclaimed on the phone. “Big Heaaaad! Hehe! Your identity has been revealed!”
Fang Qiuye: “…” Why couldn’t she control her impulsive need to share her life?!
“Big Head, how do you say in English when your identity is exposed?” Yaoyao said from the other side of the phone.
Fang Qiuye: ‘… Teacher Gong, I was wrong!’
