Moonlight Episode 8 Recap
> Moonlight Recap
Zhou Chuan saw Jian's face stiffen across the dining table, while Chu Li next to him was restless. Jian thought she and Zhou Chuan appreciated each other, and this collaboration would definitely be pleasant. Zhou Chuan looked at Chu Li and was speechless again. Jian said she and Zhou Chuan had a strong connection.
When she was still a young artist, there was a "Little Zhou Chuan" on the forum who wrote captions for her paintings, but his writing was too far behind Zhou Chuan's. There was an unknown meaning in Zhou Chuan's eyes, and he quickly called Chu Li to make an excuse and left. Chu Li and Zhou Chuan went grocery shopping together. Zhou Chuan complained he was hungry.
Chu Li didn't forget to message Fox Jun to complain about Jian being ungrateful. It turned out that "Little Zhou Chuan" was Zhou Chuan himself. If it weren't for him writing captions for Jian, she wouldn't have become famous. Zhou Chuan didn't react much to the message, while urging Chu Li to go home and cook. The two of them coincidentally met Yu Yao who was busy working on the phone with her child.
They quickly stepped forward to help her soothe the child. Yu Yao still had some things to do, so she asked Chu Li to help look after her son. Chu Li and Zhou Chuan brought Qiu Qiu to eat. Qiu Qiu thought the two were boyfriend and girlfriend. When Qiu Qiu's grandma came to pick him up, Chu Li realized how hard Yu Yao's usual life was. Chu Li put the groceries in the refrigerator.
This was the fifth time Jian had tried to add Zhou Chuan as a contact. Chu Li refused to let her add him, but Zhou Chuan had already added her. Chu Li was a bit sulky, but luckily Zhou Chuan was just teasing her. Chu Li said Jian badmouthed her friend in front of her. She admitted that "Little Zhou Chuan" was her friend and very talented. Zhou Chuan inwardly mocked her for being a fair-weather friend.
Gu Baizhi came to find Jian to draw a cover. She heard that Jian had also reached a collaboration with Yuan Yue Publishing House and hoped she could prioritize her collaboration, offering even better terms. Chu Li found out the distribution plan reached 350,000 copies, which was a bit too exaggerated. Yu Yao said this book was the most important one for Yuan Yue Publishing House this year and hoped Chu Li would secure it no matter what.
Jian had promised to submit the design sketch today. Chu Li contacted her many times but received no response. Only when Zhou Chuan was mentioned did Jian appear, saying the file was damaged and she would give it to her before work tomorrow. Chu Li naturally knew Jian was delaying the manuscript, so she could only agree with a smile.
Gu Baizhi saw Gu Yunfei reading while she was running and quickly went up to urge him to submit the manuscript. Zhou Chuan found Er Gou pulling at the gift Jiang Yucheng gave to Chu Li and quickly ran to Jiang Yucheng to question why he cared so much about Chu Li. The two argued as they entered the restaurant and also ran into Gu Baizhi and Gu Yunfei.
Gu Yunfei really liked Jiang Yucheng and followed him to offer toasts. He was also publishing a new book, which would launch alongside Jiang Yucheng's book. The atmosphere among the four of them was a bit strange. --- Many years ago, Jiang Yucheng's book had a similar plot to Gu Yunfei's, and he had only told Gu Baizhi about the setting of his new book.
Jiang Yucheng believed Gu Baizhi had betrayed him and broke up with her in a fit of anger. Remembering this past event, Jiang Yucheng was quite emotional. After getting drunk, Zhou Chuan took him back to his own home. Seeing this, Chu Li quickly came over to express her concern and also asked Zhou Chuan if he had secretly opened her gift.
Zhou Chuan said Er Gou ran in and opened it, and also instructed Chu Li to be careful tomorrow morning not to let Jiang Yucheng see it, as he was too lazy to explain. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yucheng suddenly got up. Zhou Chuan quickly pulled Chu Li aside and told her to go upstairs to sleep. Fortunately, Jiang Yucheng only had the memory of a fish when he was drunk. Early the next morning, Jiang Yucheng was already awake.
Zhou Chuan was startled. Jiang Yucheng said he dreamed of Chu Li last night. Chu Li liked the sketch that Jian submitted and quickly sent it to Zhou Chuan. A Xiang reminded her that it didn't meet the requirements, and someone had also posted the sketch online. Chu Li wanted to cry but had no tears.
Jiang Yucheng made an appointment to meet Chu Li and said that Zhou Chuan and he were going to attend the Writers Association meeting, so they were holding the meeting in advance. Zhou Chuan was about to leave. Hearing that Chu Li had learned about him attending the Writers Association meeting through Jiang Yucheng, he was a bit speechless and instructed her on a few things. There was a problem with Jian's cover.
Zhou Chuan was satisfied when he saw Chu Li's regretful expression. Chu Li immediately showed a fawning expression, which Zhou Chuan decisively rejected. Zhou Chuan hurriedly found his ID card before leaving. Zhou Guxuan asked the master calligrapher Jiang Bohai to write a piece of calligraphy. The two were good friends and were doing it for Zhou Chuan's cover. Editor-in-chief Xia called Chu Li over to take a look and instructed her to work hard to achieve good results.
When Zhou Chuan was bored sending messages, Monkey Jun sent a message. Jiang Yucheng saw it and was eager to read it. In the evening, Chu Li cried and called Zhou Chuan, asking him to repay the favor of finding her ID card by asking Jian in the group chat. Zhou Chuan had no choice but to do so. Chu Li was very grateful. Zhou Guxuan arrived, and Zhou Chuan hung up the phone.
Although Jian's drawing was good, the parts that needed modification were not changed at all, and the characters written by Jiang Bohai were completely unusable. Chu Li asked Jian to revise the manuscript, but Jian wanted to talk to Zhou Chuan in person and also felt that Chu Li was preventing her from meeting Zhou Chuan. Chu Li threatened to reject the submission, and Jian was very angry.
Zhou Chuan was about to go out for dinner when Zhou Guxuan stopped him, saying he had invited a few friends for dinner and asked him to join. Zhou Chuan refused. Zhou Guxuan felt that Zhou Chuan refused to go because he resented the senior editors from back then who were unwilling to publish his debut work, hitting a sore spot for Zhou Chuan. While Chu Li was taking a shower, the water pipe burst. She quickly called the property management, who said they could only come tomorrow. Zhou Chuan suddenly rushed back and turned off the water valve.
