Moonlight Episode 12 Recap
> Moonlight Recap
Jiang Yucheng started questioning Chu Li and Jiang Yucheng, asking if they were dating. Chu Li quickly denied it. After Zhou Chuan explained the whole story, Jiang Yucheng laughed instead, seeming like he still had a chance. Jiang Yucheng suddenly held Chu Li's hand and confessed, saying, "I like you." Before Chu Li could react, Zhou Chuan was already breaking down.
Jiang Yucheng said that to Chu Li, he was just an editor, but he hoped Chu Li would become his girlfriend. Chu Li lowered her head. Jiang Yucheng touched her head and said, "Don't rush to give me an answer." He added that "Luòhé Shén Shū" had been a great success, and his publishing contract could be signed tomorrow, which made Chu Li very happy.
Zhou Chuan couldn't help but kick Jiang Yucheng out of the house, warning Chu Li that there was no possibility between her and Jiang Yucheng. Back in her room, Chu Li began to feel depressed, wondering why it wasn't him. Zhou Chuan was also feeling down, wondering why Jiang Yucheng liked Chu Li. He quickly changed the password to the house. Chu Li and Jiang Yucheng were discussing the contract. Zhou Chuan disguised himself and secretly came to investigate.
Jiang Yucheng knew he must be watching them from the bookstore. Jiang Yucheng said that what he said yesterday was serious, but Chu Li still said sorry and advised Jiang Yucheng to give up. Gu Baizhi took Teacher Liu for a walk in the yard. Teacher Liu mentioned her and Jiang Yucheng again, saying that people always regret after losing something, so he advised Gu Baizhi not to be too strong and to think clearly before making decisions.
Chu Li and Jiang Yucheng finished signing the contract and returned with gifts Jiang Yucheng had bought for everyone. Lao Miao was still being sour. Zhou Chuan saw A Xiang's WeChat Moments complaining about Jiang Yucheng's despicable methods and quickly called Chu Li, telling her to stay away from macarons. In the evening, Chu Li was late in returning home.
Zhou Chuan was jealous when Er Gou had already picked up his dog bowl and was looking pitifully at the returning Chu Li. Chu Li quickly added dog food and went to cook. Zhou Chuan asked her how things went with Jiang Yucheng. Chu Li said she had made it clear. The next day at work, Xian Yu also came. This time, "Luòhé Shén Shū" had sold so well, so the bonus would definitely be considerable.
Chu Li had only been there for a little over half a year and had already become Yuanyue Publishing House's ace editor; she was very lucky. A girl came to find Lao Miao. She was Suo Heng. Chu Li had always liked her work. Lao Miao heard that Suo Heng was waiting for him and directly said that Suo Heng's current state was useless no matter how many times it was revised and was too lazy to say anything.
Suo Heng was discouraged and left in a hurry. As she left, Suo Heng and Yu Yao met at the corner. There was an ambiguous look in both of their eyes. Gu Baizhi couldn't contact Gu Yunfei, so she had to go look for him in person. Gu Yunfei was playing ball at their usual spot. Gu Yunfei was upset because of Gu Baizhi and Jiang Yucheng.
He had the nickname "Little Jiang Yucheng," so he felt very bad about it. He wasn't Little Jiang Yucheng. Gu Baizhi said that no one was treating him as a substitute and that his most important thing now was to write books. He had to beat Jiang Yucheng to get rid of this nickname.
Fox King praised "Luòhé Shén Shū" for being excellent and said that Monkey King had bad taste, also asking what her criteria for choosing a partner were, and whether she liked white lotuses. Chu Li accidentally sent a "yes" from the past. Zhou Chuan immediately put on a sour face and played ball harder than usual. Zhou Chuan didn't plan to tell Chu Li that they were online friends. Jiang Yucheng was thoughtful.
That day, Chu Li confessed to him that the person she liked was an online friend called Fox King. Jiang Yucheng was stunned. Zhou Chuan fiercely warned Jiang Yucheng not to provoke Chu Li; they were not suitable. The sales of "Luòhé Shén Shū" reached 349,000 copies, creating Yuanyue Publishing House's best record in five years. Director Liang bought everyone coffee. They were just 1,000 copies short of 350,000. Chu Li also felt a little puzzled.
Lao Miao straightened up instead. A Xiang felt that they had also worked hard, but all the bonuses were given to the distribution department, which made her unhappy. Lao Miao was still mocking Chu Li, saying that Zhou Chuan came with his own fans, so it didn't matter that it sold well; it had nothing to do with ability, just good luck. Chu Li couldn't help but retort, saying that signing Zhou Chuan was her ability.
The editorial department didn't receive an award, so Editor-in-chief Xia encouraged everyone not to be discouraged. The Huazhi Award was about to start judging, and Editor-in-chief Xia also planned to recommend "Luòhé Shén Shū," putting Chu Li in charge. Chu Li called Zhou Chuan to talk about the Huazhi Award, but Zhou Chuan directly refused, saying it was impossible. Chu Li began to feel depressed. She didn't understand why Zhou Chuan was so resistant to honors.
A Xiang said that this matter was also related to Editor-in-chief Xia. Editor-in-chief Xia had an accident when following Zhou Gu Xuan's book and missed the submission by accident. This was Editor-in-chief Xia's regret, and this might be Editor-in-chief Xia's last chance before retirement. Gu Baizhi went to the bookstore, saying she was there to talk about work. Gu Baizhi invited Jiang Yucheng to the New Shield Reading Club. Jiang Yucheng was very resistant.
Yu Yao went to Suo Heng's house, hesitantly rang the doorbell, and then didn't dare to meet. The sales of "Luòhé Shén Shū" actually exceeded 350,000. The numbers were changed by Director Liang, who also encouraged Lao Miao to go further, saying that if he was the editor-in-chief, no one in Yuanyue Publishing House would dare to bully him. Yu Yao was hand-picked by Editor-in-chief Xia, and Lao Miao didn't know how to surpass her.
Director Liang suggested that Yu Yao was Suo Heng's good friend, so he wanted Lao Miao to terminate the contract with Suo Heng so that Yu Yao would go against Yang. A Xiang told Chu Li to act cute with Zhou Chuan. Chu Li had an idea and quickly pretended to have a stomachache, crying and shouting to go home to find Zhou Chuan, but there was no response. Chu Li saw that he wasn't there and exposed her lie. Zhou Chuan suddenly appeared, watching Chu Li acting and stubbornly refusing to go to the Huazhi Award.
