Chapter 1: Cheng Yuan, nightmare, plagiarism fiasco.

Chi Xiaochi leans against the car and smokes.

The sky wiped black, and a little aura of fire reflected half his face faintly.

Smoking off a small portion of his cigarette, he glanced at his watch, turned with his cigarette in his mouth and dove through the half rolled down window, pulled out a mineral water with only the bottom of it left to drink, dusted most of the cigarette in with the unbroken ash, and fumbled in his pocket for gum, chewing it hastily twice and spitting the remnants into a napkin.

He was going to throw the trash in the dumpster, however just as he turned around, the person he was waiting for arrived.

The man stepped out of the software company's front door, slightly tired, and saw the brand new car parked at the curb before he saw Chi Xiaochi.

His complexion became a bit complicated, "...... Xiao Cheng."

Chi Xiaochi is called Cheng Yuan in this world.

Sweeping into that face, Chi Xiaochi was stunned for a moment, and actually forgot to take the initiative to welcome him.

The man stood still, waiting for Cheng Yuan to come towards him, and frowned in confusion when he realized that Cheng Yuan had no intention of moving.

Chi Xiaochi's brain duly sounded a half-human, half-mechanical tone of prompting, with a business-like attitude, thus appearing a bit cold.

The system reminded, "Mr. Chi, the Raider object is calling you."

Ignoring the drop in favorability from 72 to 70, Chi Xiaochi returned and commented, "Good looking."

Then he stood up straight and sighed to himself, "It's been a long time since I was single. Look at Wang Ba."

System: "......"

Then Chi Xiaochi pretended to be unable to see in the night, squinted to see the person who came, originally still a bit blank and unfocused eyes suddenly had a happy color, the dimples on both cheeks were so sweet that people simply wanted to laugh with him: "Lao Yang!"

System: "......" One second into the movie, it's OK.

Chi Xiaochi is going to rip off Wang Ba's lamb's full name, Yang Baihua.

In fact, this "Lao Yang" is not old, four years older than Cheng Yuan. Love clean, cuffs cleaned up the general high and low; temperament fresh, hair nails are picked up sharp not frizzy, body a little light aroma of wood, there are young men rare hard and stable, wrapped in a white shirt in the hidden chest line does not look exaggerated, but the outline can easily call a person's heartbeat accelerated.

As he approached the mission objective step by step, Chi Xiaochi briefly reviewed the worldline information he had received in his mind.

This world was the first mission Chi Xiaochi executed after entering the system world. According to the system, in order to allow the tasker to adapt faster, the first mission executed by each tasker after binding to the system, the world line was highly similar to the world line in which he had originally lived, and the difficulty was also on easy mode.

To put it bluntly, it's just a tutorial for newbies.

This newbie tutorial shows that Yang Baihua, the target of his strategy, is a golden phoenix that flew out of a mountain valley in the southwest, a college student who raised his entire family and majored in software engineering. From not know how to turn on the computer to the success of graduate school, nearly seven years of study in a foreign country has worn away Yang Baihua all the rustic flavor, at first glance, completely in the city to grow up in the young people.

As for Cheng Yuan, in a word, his family has money.

As for how much money, Cheng Yuan has never cared, that is something his elder brother should worry about.

Cheng Yuan has loved music since he was a child, the kind of love that you would dive into and drown yourself in. He is really gifted, he can easily get used to playing instruments, and his voice has a high-level instrumental texture, so he can sing, compose, and play well.

Cheng Yuan met Yang Baihua on campus when he came to play with his former high school classmates after attending music school.

At that time, Yang Baihua was just in his senior year of college, and he was in his best form, full of vigor and enthusiasm, and his refreshing and tough energy charmed Cheng Yuan so much that he fell head over heels, and chased after Yang Baihua relentlessly.

Yang Baihua found it funny at first, but gradually he was attracted to this young master with thin skin and tender stuffing, who could be grasped by the ear like a rabbit.

The duo went from meeting each other to confirming their relationship and falling in love for three years.

One day, Cheng Yuan got drunk and on the spur of the moment came out to his family.

Cheng's parents can't accept that their son, who used to run after pretty girls when he was a kid, is obsessed with a man. Especially after investigating Yang Baihua's background, Cheng's parents are fiercely opposed to the idea.

The Cheng family is not discriminating against Yang Baihua, who has struggled all the way up, but they themselves came from the countryside and started from nothing, so they know that it is not easy to struggle.

However, Yang Baihua has four older sisters of varying ages, each named Zhaodi, Pan Di, Nian Di, Wang Di, and these four names are placed here to convince the Cheng family that the family will never accept a man who has cut off the family's lineage, and that his hopeless love affair is doomed to have no good outcome.

Yet love makes one blind.

Cheng Yuan sober up, simply do not listen to the good intentions of the parents, but also dead block live, afraid of parents difficult Yang Baihua.

Cheng's parents are not that low class to get over a child who has struggled up by his own efforts, but this mix up by Cheng Yuan has really hurt the parents' hearts.

For Yang Baihua's sake, he fell out with his parents and moved out of the house to live with Yang Baihua.

For the sake of cheapness, Yang Baihua rented a place where the public transportation from the city center has to take more than twenty stops, and there are not many takeaways that can be delivered to your home, the advantage is that it is quiet and the price of food is cheap.

Cheng Yuan learned to cook for Yang Baihua and did a good job. Yang Baihua praised him and he made lunch for him every day and brought it to the company.

A friend scolded Cheng Yuan and said, "Xiao Yuanzi, you're out of your mind, you can't live a good life for a man who is a chicken?

Cheng Yuan said with a smile, he is very good to me, we agreed to eat hot pot tomorrow.

Cheng Yuan is indeed a romantic idealist, and every bit of his minuscule ideals are hopefully recorded on a post-it note on his desk, line by line, as if he were writing a poem.

"Tomorrow morning I'll write songs; cook at noon; come back and write songs in the afternoon; go for a walk with Lao Yang in the evening; buy two cups of Sun Kee soymilk, Lao Yang's with sugar; turn on the air conditioner for half the night, and go to bed with a quilt over my head."

He never kept track of bad things because he felt he was doing really well.

Cheng Yuan refused to accept his elder brother's secret charity. The only time Cheng Yuan accepted his big brother's kindness was when he took his vehicle, a new BYD that he had bought. Because he was sick of public transportation. Whenever he traveled halfway across the city to deliver food to Yang Baihua, he didn't dare to eat breakfast for fear of vomiting.

But Yang Baihua doesn't like the gift and says that Big Brother is giving him a handout to remind Cheng Yuan of the good old days and take the opportunity to drag him back home, Cheng Yuan thinks it's a good idea and obediently returns the car.

The act of receiving and returning it broke Cheng's heart.

Later, Big Brother's greeting text messages also went from once a day to once a week and once every half month.

Cheng Yuan, after the hard time, thought, parents and elder brother also just want to live well. If I follow Lao Yang and get better and better, they may accept Lao Yang.

Yang Baihua got his undergraduate degree as a systems analyst, and after graduation, he joined a software company where, according to him, he was highly regarded by his manager. As for Cheng Yuan, his career is also going well.

In the past, Cheng Yuan never had to think about making a living, and concentrated on playing music, writing experimental music that had no market at all. Cheng's father and mother tried to get connections to package the music and sell it, but it was just a small circle of self-indulgence.

Now Cheng Yuan has to make a living. The record market has shrunk too much over the years to allow Cheng Yuan to play around with his love of experimental music.

Cheng Yuan doesn't have a problem with not being able to put his foot down in this regard. He likes to write a little bit of everything, from classic pop to punk rock, but he's just a little bit picky about the quality of his work.

He spent three months laboring over three carefully recorded demos of original pop styles, which he sent to several record labels.

For various music companies, there are so many demos submitted that Cheng Yuan was ready to be dropped into the sea, but to his surprise, he was lucky and soon heard back: his manuscript was accepted by a small company for 5,000 dollars per song.

The small company said they appreciated Cheng Yuan's creative talent and offered him an artist contract, which Cheng Yuan was so excited about that he signed without even looking at it.

Cheng Yuan was so happy that he was jumping up and down, and before the money arrived, he immediately planned the spending of fifteen thousand dollars, and there was a Yang Baihua in every plan.

If we were to turn back the clock, Cheng Yuan would have cursed the ecstatic Cheng Yuan as a fool.

The small company's production efficiency is low, and the final product is not entirely satisfactory, but Cheng Yuan has watched his three songs, "Autumn Thoughts," "Words Between Hearts," and "Love You," rise in the rankings of music apps, which is so sweet that he takes screenshots of each rise in the rankings and shows them to Yang Baihua.

That is, until he swiped a comment in the song's comments, "Doesn't anyone else think that 'Autumn Thoughts' looks a lot like a revamped version of Goddess Tang's 'Sifan'?"

Soon, someone replied, "Not only 'Autumn Thoughts', but 'Words Between Hearts' is also very much like Tang Huan's new song."

...... Tang Huan?

Cheng Yuan's hand slipped and he exited the software.

He froze for a long time holding the black screened phone, hot sweat pouring out of his body like a nest of ants had exploded and crawled around in all his joints.

He shook his hand and re-clicked on it, and the pretty face of Tang Huan, a famous new popular singer, appeared on the software's opening advertisement, smiling at Cheng Yuan.

On that day, Cheng Yuan's microblog with only a few thousand followers was overwhelmed by Tang Huan's millions of followers and a reinforcing army of sailors.

"cnm's plagiarizing dog! Death to the whole family for plagiarizing!"

"Caught a sheep woolgathering, why are you so cheap?"

"See the long tweet for details on the circumstances leading up to the plagiarism incident and the pickpocketing of Little Transparent Cheng Yuan at the link http://t.cn......"

"Randomly picking through Cheng Yuan's previous work, the desire to know led me to click in and the desire to live led me to exit."

"Hahaha singing what jiebao stuff, 吚吚 whimpering like a ghost scream, this fucking can also be called good, the fans also hold stink feet."

"WOC awesome, the song title even the cover of Goddess Tang's new album are not spared ah, a copy of a whole set?"

Cheng Yuan couldn't be bothered with the bad reviews.

He wears headphones and listens to Tang Huan's new song on repeat over and over again in a frenzy, bloodshot eyes and cold sweat.

...... Really the same.

Just in the details made adjustments, without the judgment of the professional learning music, as long as the long ears, the sense of music passes, can hear is pickpocket plagiarism.

...... But who is copying who here?

Cheng Yuan assures his innocence that he hasn't even listened to a few Tang Huan songs before today because he remembers a toxic musician commenting on Tang Huan, which is aptly, if unpleasantly, put:

"Tang Huan specializes in drooling love songs. By drooling love songs, I mean that the songs are also drooling, and it looks like you're holding your mouth when you sing."

Tang Huan's smiling face spins in front of Cheng Yuan's face, and the e-cover of that new album bears the line, "The Queen of Love Songs makes a gorgeous turn and sings the words of your heart."

-- "woc awesome, the song title even the cover of the new album of Goddess Tang ah, a copy of a whole set?"

Cheng Yuan clearly remembers that he chose the title of the song "Between Hearts" as the words that he wanted to say to Yang Baihua, a forbidden love that was restrained and bursting forth, but Tang Huan sang it as a sweet little girl's heartfelt story.

Cheng Yuan only felt that he had been insulted like never before.

The biggest blow he had ever suffered in his life was his failure to come out of the closet, and he had never known what it was like to have his reputation destroyed and to be criticized by thousands of people.

In the tinnitus that filled the sky and the ground, all he could think of was Yang Baihua.

He dialed Yang Baihua's phone, as soon as he heard that person's voice, his tightly wound emotions instantly broke down, and he would only shout with a sobbing voice: "Lao Yang, Lao Yang, you come back." He was like a child who had been bullied.

Cheng Yuan is indeed a child in the way he handles himself, and he is too well protected by his family.

So, while pulling Yang Baihua and crying that his song had been taken away from him and he was being pointed at and scolded, Cheng Yuan failed to notice the flash of panic in Yang Baihua's eyes.

But Cheng Yuan never imagined that this was just the beginning of his nightmare.

Now, Chi Xiaochi's white rabbit with steel teeth, Cheng Yuan, stands in front of Yang Baihua.

The former smiled and looked up at the latter with a light in his eyes.

Yang Baihua, on the other hand, looked at the car, frowned and asked, "Did you buy this car?"

Cheng Yuan twisted his head to look at the car and boasted in a childish tone, "Beautiful, isn't it."

Yang Baihua asked, "How much did it cost?"

Cheng Yuan's eyes curved, "You guess?"

So far, all of these conversations have occurred as they once did in the memory of the original owner, without a single change.

Yang Baihua frowned, and the favorability bar in Chi Xiaochi's brain was squeezed out by another two points.

Yang Baihua held her fire for a while and decided to reason with this young master who didn't know the value of firewood and rice: "Xiao Cheng, the two of us are going to be together for a long time. You've fallen out with your family for me, and I'm grateful for your dedication and sincerity. But you grew up with a privileged life, do not understand that life should be fine. If you keep being so big ......"

This is a sensible thing to say, according to the original script, the original master should be ashamed to lower his head and admit that he was just joking, and that the car was given to him by his brother Cheng Jian.

Chi Xiaochi duly showed a resigned expression, "...... This is what my brother gave me. I get carsick easily on public transportation."

Yang Baihua gently stroked Chi Xiaochi's hair, "Xiao Cheng, you've grown up, you can't rely on your brother for everything. Your brother has his own life, and so do you. If he deliberately interferes in your life and pampers you like this, it will only make you more and more unable to leave the golden cage. Don't you think so?"

Chi Xiaochi didn't say anything and looked at him.

Yang Baihua is very confident.

In the past, Ching had a friend who was strongly against them being together, and after Ching was educated by him in this way, she drew a line in the sand with him.

...... Xiao Cheng doesn t know anything, it s better to listen to yourself, otherwise it is easy to be led by the nose.

At that moment, Chi Xiaochi spoke up.

He spoke in a beautiful voice, soft and soft, just like every time before when he said love words to him, so Yang Baihua the first time actually did not understand: "...... my brother is good to me, spend your money?"
