Moonlight Episode 16 Recap
> Moonlight Recap
Chu Li prepared many books for Zhou Chuan to sign. A Xiang really wanted one, but unfortunately, Chu Li was strict and impartial. Chu Li called Zhou Chuan and asked him to come to Yueyang Society to help sign the books. Zhou Chuan agreed. Yu Yao and Editor-in-Chief Xia came back early in the morning and were arguing fiercely with Director Liang in the meeting room. Chu Li quickly ran over.
Yu Yao hoped to give Suo Heng another chance, saying that at least her attitude was very good. Director Liang, however, said that the most important thing was the quality of the manuscript. Editor-in-Chief Xia had already applied to General Manager Yang to give Suo Heng another chance, saying they absolutely could not push an author in adversity further down. Chu Li proactively offered to be Suo Heng's editor. Zhou Chuan signed at Suo Heng's workstation.
He felt that fifty books were too few and wanted to sign a hundred. He even gave one to A Xiang, which made A Xiang admire him even more. Zhou Chuan asked A Xiang if Chu Li had any strange behavior. A Xiang replied no and said she would definitely persuade Chu Li to focus on her career.
General Manager Yang's condition was that Moonlight must sign Zhou Chuan's next novel, and if Suo Heng's serialization didn't receive a good reaction, the contract must be terminated. Chu Li was determined to go all out. Editor-in-Chief Xia told her to go ahead and do a good job leading Suo Heng. Chu Li had to find a way to help Suo Heng get back on her feet. Zhou Chuan was a bit jealous, as Chu Li now had three authors.
Zhou Chuan didn't take Chu Li home; instead, he took her to play ball. Chu Li reluctantly swung the racket under Zhou Chuan's guidance, and the racket almost hit Zhou Chuan's face. Chu Li thought Zhou Chuan was so good at writing books and so great at playing ball, and she greatly admired him. Zhou Chuan said there was only one Zhou Chuan in this world. Chu Li had a dinner date with Jiang Yucheng.
Zhou Chuan insisted on going in her place, telling her to go back and focus on Suo Heng's matter. Zhou Chuan knew Jiang Yucheng must have wanted to ask Chu Li out for dinner and a movie, so he specifically came for the date. Jiang Yucheng simply pulled him along to play at the amusement park.
Hearing that Zhou Chuan firmly denied being Monkey King, Jiang Yucheng asked him what he considered Chu Li to be: an editor, an online friend, or a girl he liked. Zhou Chuan refused to say but had an opinion about Jiang Yucheng wanting to pursue Chu Li. Jiang Yucheng understood his awkward personality, so he asked Zhou Chuan what would happen if Chu Li liked neither Jiang Yucheng nor Zhou Chuan.
Jiang Yucheng said Chu Li liked Fox King, and Zhou Chuan was extremely disbelieving. After returning home, Zhou Chuan became depressed, complaining that Chu Li actually chose Fox King between Zhou Chuan and Fox King. So Zhou Chuan specifically logged onto QQ and said he recently liked a girl. When he opened the door and saw Chu Li wasn't asleep yet, he thought she was heartbroken. Jiang Yucheng asked Chu Li to meet again tomorrow.
After she hung up the phone, Zhou Chuan immediately sent her a message, saying it was a song suitable for people who are disappointed and in pain. Chu Li wanted to hold a small reading salon for Suo Heng. Yu Yao told her that signing Zhou Chuan's new book was the most important thing, but Chu Li felt that saving someone was the most important thing now.
Yesterday, she had dinner with Jiang Yucheng and happened to see Suo Heng working at a restaurant. Suo Heng felt she couldn't be a writer at all and was completely disappointed. Chu Li believed the top priority now was to help Suo Heng regain her confidence, and she even found a free venue through a friend.
Yu Yao disagreed with her doing this, saying Suo Heng would be even more hurt if few readers showed up, but Chu Li still insisted on trying. Jiang Yucheng helped Suo Heng find a venue and also asked Chu Li to see a movie together over the weekend. Chu Li agreed. Gu Baizhi also received two movie tickets from a friend and didn't know who to go with.
Chu Li waited at Suo Heng's door and finally waited until Suo Heng came back. Chu Li invited Suo Heng to her reading salon. It was scheduled for tomorrow, and everyone coming were old readers who had liked her for ten years. Suo Heng hesitated and refused. Chu Li said that the people who supported her had never left and that they would wait for Suo Heng together.
After returning home, Chu Li asked Zhou Chuan to also come to the book club tomorrow to help support the event. She was afraid Suo Heng wouldn't show up, but Zhou Chuan was certain Suo Heng would appear. Jiang Yucheng and Gu Baizhi met at a restaurant. It turned out a friend had invited them. Gu Baizhi asked Jiang Yucheng if the journey between him and Chu Li had started. Jiang Yucheng said that at least they had met.
Gu Baizhi accidentally got her clothes wet by a waiter. Jiang Yucheng helped her put on a coat and saw her off, even though Gu Baizhi was still sulking and said he didn't need to bother. Gu Baizhi tried to hold Jiang Yucheng's hand, but Jiang Yucheng had no reaction. The next day, there were fifteen minutes until the reading salon was about to start.
Yu Yao thought Suo Heng definitely wouldn't come, but Chu Li wanted to take a gamble and said she wouldn't let the readers down. Zhou Chuan also came and persuaded Yu Yao to believe in Chu Li. At this moment, Suo Heng finally arrived. She also saw a reader with a child. The child's name was Xiaoyao, a name from Jingē Tiěmǎ. Suo Heng was very moved to see so many people at her reading salon.
She was very grateful everyone came and even more grateful that everyone remembered her. Yu Yao, who had thought she understood Suo Heng the best, felt a bit emotional. Suo Heng specifically thanked Chu Li. Seeing the readers from the past ten years, she felt it wasn't so bad anymore. Chu Li quickly said that these people were all contacted by Yu Yao and that it was also Yu Yao who helped Suo Heng fight for this opportunity.
Zhou Chuan pulled Chu Li away. Suo Heng thanked Yu Yao. In fact, she had always known about the past events. She had always been waiting for Yu Yao to say, "I didn't give up on you because you were terrible." Yu Yao had been carrying all the burdens and never told Suo Heng, which was also why Suo Heng was angry. However, too much time had passed, and they should move on. Chu Li thought Suo Heng and Yu Yao would reconcile, but unexpectedly, Yu Yao formally entrusted Suo Heng to Chu Li.
