Moonlight Episode 9 Recap
> Moonlight Recap
Zhou Chuan suddenly came home. Chu Li was a little puzzled, wasn't he supposed to come back in seven or eight days? Zhou Chuan saw Chu Li running around everywhere in her pajamas. Chu Li was a little overwhelmed. Zhou Chuan ignored her and ran back to sleep, telling her if anyone asked about him, to say he wasn't there, especially Jiang Yucheng. Chu Li worried that Zhou Chuan was in a bad mood and called Jiang Yucheng.
Jiang Yucheng guessed that he had argued with his family. Early the next morning, Chu Li prepared breakfast and went to work. A Xiang suddenly said that Jian had called on illustrators to boycott Yuan Yue Publishing House, saying their editors were impossible to communicate with.
Chu Li quickly went to find Director Liang to ask for his help, stating that they could use traditional ink wash painting and calligraphy for the cover, changing the display method to make it eye-catching. Jian waited proudly for Chu Li to come and apologize to her, but unexpectedly, Chu Li arrived with a contract from the legal department, demanding termination. However, the manuscript would not be returned, and they would pursue double the penalty.
Jian knew she was in the wrong. Chu Li was articulate and proposed a second method: not to return the manuscript, but to sign a compensation agreement agreeing to use the illustrations for the inner pages. Chu Li said that Jian's ability was indeed outstanding, but her character was mediocre. In her youthful ignorance, she had actually liked her. Jian ran to find Gu Baizhi for help. Gu Baizhi came up with an idea.
Jian issued a statement saying that everyone had misunderstood the matter, and that it had nothing to do with the editors of Yuan Yue Publishing House. The cover issue was resolved. Editor-in-chief Xia praised the cover, saying it was done very well. It was Chu Li's idea, but A Xiang had executed it. Editor-in-chief Xia was very satisfied. Chu Li returned home and found that the breakfast hadn't been touched, so she quickly went to knock on Zhou Chuan's door.
Zhou Chuan was in a very bad mood. Chu Li had no choice but to make dinner and call him out. Zhou Chuan still ignored her. Early the next morning, Chu Li put the breakfast by the door with a wronged expression. When she came back in the evening, it was still there. Chu Li decided she couldn't let Zhou Chuan continue like this.
It took a lot of effort to force Zhou Chuan to open the door, and as a result, she accidentally tumbled onto Zhou Chuan, resulting in a "ground pounce". Chu Li asked Zhou Chuan what exactly had happened. Zhou Chuan said he just wanted to rest for two days, but Chu Li insisted he go out to eat with her. Watching Chu Li leave, Zhou Chuan suddenly felt a stir.
He posted a Weibo message saying he was tempted by the light. Zhou Chuan dressed up carefully, preparing to go out to eat with Chu Li. Gu Yunfei was pursuing Gu Baizhi, but Gu Baizhi said she doesn't date authors. Zhou Chuan said he didn't miss his student days at all, and told Chu Li his story. His debut work was written starting from high school.
When Zhou Guxuan saw it, he cursed his manuscript, saying it was nonsensical, had no social significance, only conceited witty remarks, and couldn't be true literature. The father and son argued because of this. Zhou Guxuan cursed these things as garbage, and Zhou Chuan tore up the manuscript in a fit of pique. Chu Li was surprised to hear these things, but she didn't forget to flatter him.
-Chu Li encouraged Zhou Chuan, saying that after "Luòhé Shén Shū" is published, he will definitely be able to stand in front of those who doubted him and say he did it. Zhou Chuan looked at her in a daze. Chu Li bought an ice cream and came back, saying that when you're in a bad mood, you should eat ice cream. Zhou Chuan refused with a proud expression. Chu Li had no choice but to eat it herself.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Chuan turned his head and bit it. The two of them felt awkward and ambiguous and flirtatious. Gu Yunfei followed Gu Baizhi, wanting to go out with her. Gu Baizhi went to meet a Teacher Liu, and also mentioned Jiang Yucheng. " The Vanishing Amusement Park" caused a great sensation after just a few chapters were serialized. A Xiang and Chu Li felt that he would definitely become popular again this time.
Yu Yao gave everyone two movie tickets as a welfare, saying the publishing contract for "The Vanishing Amusement Park" was also out, but the guaranteed sales number was the same as Zhou Chuan's. She hoped Chu Li could think of a way. Gu Yunfei was very curious about who Teacher Liu was. That dictionary was Teacher Liu's life's work. After its publication was canceled, she couldn't accept it and was hospitalized.
It turned out that Teacher Liu was Gu Baizhi's teacher when she entered the industry. Yu Yao met Zhou Chuan at the bookstore and mentioned that the publishing house had distributed two movie tickets. If Chu Li asked Zhou Chuan out, she hoped he would go along with it. Zhou Chuan reluctantly agreed. In reality, Zhou Chuan was very impatient and immediately went home to choose clothes for the date.
Chu Li returned home and was a little puzzled to see Zhou Chuan dressed handsomely. She quickly got up to make dinner, and also said that she was going to deliver the contract to Jiang Yucheng tomorrow and ask him to see a movie. Zhou Chuan was very angry when he heard this, but Chu Li was completely unaware.
Zhou Chuan sulked and said he was also planning to go see a movie, feeling wronged that one of the two movie tickets should have been his, but he didn't expect Jiang Yucheng had already agreed to see a movie with Chu Li. Chu Li's head was spinning from Zhou Chuan's noise, so she could only decide to buy a movie ticket herself and go with them. The next day, Chu Li had lunch with Jiang Yucheng and Zhou Chuan.
The atmosphere was very awkward. Jiang Yucheng and Zhou Chuan attacked each other's attire, and Chu Li became increasingly overwhelmed. Upon arriving at the cinema, Jiang Yucheng bought popcorn for Chu Li, and Zhou Chuan kept complaining. After the movie, Zhou Chuan insisted on following them to dinner. Chu Li suggested they each go home. Zhou Chuan boasted that someone at his home cooked for him. Jiang Yucheng started to wonder who was so unlucky as to become his girlfriend.
Chu Li quickly reminded Zhou Chuan to be careful with his words. After Chu Li sent Zhou Chuan home, she discussed the publishing contract with Jiang Yucheng. Jiang Yucheng was not satisfied with the guaranteed sales number; he couldn't afford to lose. However, he would give Chu Li a chance. After "Luòhé Shén Shū", he hoped Chu Li could give him a satisfactory number to prove her value as an editor. Jiang Yucheng was different from Zhou Chuan. Chu Li naturally understood this. They were just taking what they needed from each other, with no superiority or inferiority. Commercial authors weren't that bad either.
