When Reader and Author Transmigrate Inside the Book at the Same Time

“Can send wedding invitations,” Yin Moshu cooperated quite well. “I don’t mind.”

 

In fact, social death was not once or twice.

 

Gu Jinmian could endure it.

 

His older brother crossed his arms, raised an eyebrow, and looked at him with a silent mockery, taking the unspoken sarcasm to the extreme.

 

Gu Jinmian: “…”

 

Would his family be willing to spend money to buy a rocket and send him off the Earth?

 

Gu Jinmian: “Eldest, eldest brother, didn’t you go to work?”

 

Gu Xijun: “Isn’t it obvious?”

 

Gu Jinmian: “…”

 

Both of them were in sports suits, matching in gray—it was evident they had gone for a morning run together.

 

Fortunately, Gu Xijun didn’t continue teasing him in front of others. Wiping the sweat off his forehead with a towel, he walked over to Ji Nan and said, “You always manage to showcase the weakness and malice in people repeatedly. Next time you do that, don’t mind making a modest contribution to the high-quality inheritance of humanity.”

 

Ji Nan: “…”

 

After saying that, he looked at Hang Yuanting. Just when Gu Jinmian thought he was about to unleash some sharp-tongued remark again, he merely glanced at Hang Yuanting as if he were watching an ant and then turned his attention away. It was as if Hang Yuanting wasn’t even worth his attention.

 

Gu Jinmian finally understood why his sarcastic brother was afraid of the eldest brother and why he could be sent to Africa by him.

 

It turns out his eldest brother is already quite gentle with him.

 

“Feeling like life is too long, wasting time standing here?” Gu Xijun turned to Gu Jinmian.

 

Gu Jinmian: “…”

 

Gu Jinmian quickly followed Gu Xijun into the house.

 

After a few steps, he noticed Yin Moshu hadn’t joined them. His gaze followed Yin Moshu, who had walked over to Ji Nan. “You’re right, being well-matched is great. The whole family is blessing us.”

 

“If Mian Mian says so, the wedding invitation will be sent to you. It shouldn’t take too long.”

 

Gu Jinmian: “…”

 

Yin Moshu can be quite childish, he’s not losing in that aspect at all.

 

Gu Xijun went to take a shower and change clothes, then someone came to pick him up.

 

Only Gu Jinmian and Yin Moshu were left to have breakfast.

 

There was some silence at the dining table.

 

Yin Moshu took a few bites and looked at Gu Jinmian without saying anything, just smiling at him..

 

His lips naturally curved with a hint of mockery, but his eyes held a warm affection. This warmth might be ordinary with others, but on Yin Moshu, it was almost a spectacle.

 

All directed at Gu Jinmian.

 

Tightly entwining him.

 

Gu Jinmian bit down on the spoon, and his jaw tensed slightly.

 

“You went for a run with eldest brother?” The awkward Gu Jinmian spoke to Yin Moshu for the first time today.

 

“Eldest brother suggested the run,” Yin Moshu said. “We chatted while jogging.”

 

“The topic of the chat was that even if it’s Bai Qirui’s son, he won’t let anyone bully you.”

 

Gu Jinmian: “…”

 

“Saying not to bully is a bit challenging, but I’ll never do anything that will disrespect you. After saying that, eldest brother didn’t speak again, kept a cold face, and remained silent all the way until we heard you’re going to send wedding invitations to Ji Nan.”

 

Gu Jinmian: “…”

 

It seems like he understands why his eldest brother attacked so fiercely about the ’intimacy’ topic.

 

Seeing him stuffing bread into his mouth, Yin Moshu picked up a cup of milk, tested its temperature, and placed it near him. “Was last night considered bullying?”

 

Gu Jinmian seemed to be choked by bread crumbs, coughed a couple of times, and quickly picked up the milk, taking a couple of sips.

 

“If it was, I’ll be more restrained in the future.”

 

As he spoke, Yin Moshu tried to wipe the milk off the corner of Gu Jinmian’s mouth but got his wrist grabbed by the nervously tense Gu Jinmian.

 

Yin Moshu raised his eyelids, looking at him with surprise, as if there was also a hint of confusion and perplexity.

 

“…..” Gu Jinmian released his hand. “Heaven’s, don’t get handsy.”

 

Yin Moshu smiled, “Alright.”

 

He really liked it when he smiled, but not like that.

 

Gu Jinmian chewed on the croissant, this was too hard to parry.

 

Yin Moshu finished breakfast with him and then left.

 

Gu Jinmian reminded him to wake up early for the flight, while He Zhi had already arranged a private jet route for him for a month.

 

He was just worrying unnecessarily.

 

Gu Jinmian stood on the second floor, watching Yin Moshu’s car leave through the gate.

 

No need for him to accompany him to the airport, no need for him to help grab resources. Even the movies he invested in seemed a bit pitiful among the abundance of resources laid out in front of Yin Moshu.

 

After the car disappeared from view, Gu Jinmian lowered his head and saw the roses on the second-floor terrace. Not only were the flowers plucked by him, but even the leaves were almost bald.

 

Gu Jinmian: “…”

 

He guiltily glanced at the gardener in the garden, who, carrying his own book, secretly slipped away to the company.

 

His company was quite organized now, with around ten employees each handling their respective roles. The phone rang from time to time, and he could hear the names of Yin Moshu, Bai Xinyu, and Du Bai’an being mentioned. It seemed like the business was thriving.

 

Rarely free from recording programs, Gu Jinmian spent the morning in the office reading the book that Secretary Gu gave him.

 

There wasn’t a book specifically about strong ‘nature’ aspects of being a manager; the ever-resourceful Secretary Gu knew that after he tried being a manager, thus he compiled a book for him, filled with practical ‘nature’ experiences.

 

Having been in the entertainment industry for almost half a year, Gu Jinmian was well-suited for this. It was easy to understand, and he could learn a lot of practical ‘nature’ things.

 

When he read it attentively, the morning passed unnoticed, and he reached the last page of the book.

 

Downstairs, the aroma of takeout wafted through the air, indicating that the employees had started their lunch.

 

Gu Jinmian’s stomach grumbled, and he casually ordered some takeout. He also ordered ten cups of coffee and went downstairs to join them.

 

The people in his company were relatively young, fond of gossip, passionate about their profession, and they often teased him. The atmosphere in the company was usually relaxed.

 

However, today seemed a bit different. When Gu Jinmian came down, there was a brief silence on the second floor, and they looked a bit more nervous.

 

“What’s going on?” Gu Jinmian asked directly. “Are you all hiding something?”

 

“Boss, there are rumors online that Ji Nan and Hang Yuanting are breaking up.”

 

“That’s it.” Gu Jinmian said nonchalantly. “Not surprising.”

 

One of them hesitated and said, “There are posts online saying that they broke up because of you.”

 

“What?”

 

Gu Jinmian was momentarily stunned, finally realizing that this matter might not be so simple.

 

They must have been quite tactful in front of him, but it’s definitely not as simple as just because of him.

 

Gu Jinmian hurriedly took out his phone. First, he didn’t see it trending, proving that it hadn’t blown up yet.

 

But he had thousands of private messages.

 

Gu Jinmian randomly opened one.

 

“Are you shameless? Does Yin Moshu know how shameless you are?”

 

“Why didn’t Shi Yi kill you in the womb? Giving birth to such an embarrassing person. Oh no, Shi Yi probably doesn’t find you embarrassing. She’s still raising a bunch of girls abroad herself.”

 

“You ruined someone’s seven-year relationship. Do you still want to blacklist him? Are you feeling proud now, ah, ah, ah, b***h!”

 

Gu Jinmian was stunned by the insults.

 

He couldn’t help but continue scrolling down.

 

“You’re already with Yin Moshu, why can’t you stand seeing others happy? How can there be someone as malicious as you? How did we go blind to accept you being with Yin Moshu before?”

 

“Clearly knowing someone else has a boyfriend and still rushing to be with them, how shameless can you be!”

 

“Hilarious, the lunch you made, even pigs wouldn’t eat.”

 

“Hilarious, everyone else is after brother Ji Nan’s money, but you’re the only one who was truly loved.”

 

The more Gu Jinmian read, the more confused he became. Images of Hang Yuanting’s resentful and cold gaze in the morning flashed in his mind, and he couldn’t help but shiver.

 

He stayed stunned for a while, then turned off his phone without checking the expressions of the others. Holding his phone, he went upstairs.

 

There was little discussion on Weibo, and beneath the calm surface, Gu Jinmian was receiving dozens to hundreds of abusive private messages every minute, with most coming from Hang Yuanting’s fans.

 

He scrolled through but couldn’t figure out why they were cursing him. None of the popular websites seemed to carry the news.

 

If it weren’t for his company’s employees keeping an eye on things, Gu Jinmian might still be unaware.

 

After asking for the website link, Gu Jinmian found the source. On a gossip forum, someone claiming to be a friend of Hang Yuanting couldn’t bear it and risked exposure to reveal a series of terrifying “truths.”

 

[Original Poster: Hang Yuanting and Ji Nan might be breaking up. Six years, I’ve been watching them all this time. It’s painful now. Since their relationship seems to be at its end, there’s no need to hide many things.]

 

[Directly Abusive Comment: Gu Jinmian is just a scumbag who ruins other people’s relationships.]

 

The original poster used the real name, hanging it out there for someone currently in the limelight. This post attracted a crowd of gossip enthusiasts, with vendors in the front row selling sunflower seeds, snacks, and plush cats.

 

The original poster didn’t disappoint those who waited. They immediately exposed a large number of photos and chat records, dating back to six years ago when Hang Yuanting and Ji Nan had just started dating.

 

At that time, Gu Jinmian was still a high school student, wearing the uniform of a private high school, tightly hugging Ji Nan’s arm.

 

In the photos, Ji Nan’s impatient expression and Hang Yuanting’s clear surprise were evident.

 

From there, a series of magical manipulations unfolded.

 

Including, but not limited to, sabotaging their dates, sending WeChat messages to Ji Nan insulting Hang Yuanting, threatening Hang Yuanting with actions like blacklisting and disfigurement to force him to break up, knowingly pursuing Hang Yuanting with various ridiculous methods while pretending to be in love with Ji Nan, and even pretending to ‘commit suicide’ to force Ji Nan to break up…

 

The chat records were crystal clear, featuring instances of Gu Jinmian insulting Hang Yuanting with Ji Nan and plotting with others on how to snatch Ji Nan away.

 

The onlookers were left with dropped jaws.

 

[This is different from the Gu Jinmian we see on the shows. Now I’m both shocked and dumbfounded.]

 

[Haha, that photo of self-harm looks so fake. Hang Yuanting, an actor, couldn’t see through his tricks?]

 

[In this day and age, he’s still making lunch, and the key is that it looks so ugly, haha, yue’s laughter.]

 

[Ji Nan just bought a pair of identical watches as a gift for Hang Yuanting. Gu Jinmian immediately bought the same for Ji Nan as a birthday present? What confusing behavior?]

 

[A hearty laugh echoed through the family.]

 

[Feeling disgusted and terrified. Heard that during the recording of “Four Seasons,” Ji Nan even sent roses to Gu Jinmian.]

 

[Hang Yuanting is really in a tough spot.]

 

[So disgusting, how did the Gu family produce such a disgusting person? Gu Xijun’s face must be completely lost, hating him, right?]

 

[No way, Gu Jinmian became like this because they indulged him. The Gu family probably doesn’t see any problem with it.]

 

[What about Bai Qirui? They are particularly concerned about face and image, right?]

 

[Come and see how your boyfriend is behaving, @Yin Moshu.]

 

After more fans flooded in, the comments became even more unbearable. They mocked Gu Jinmian’s ridiculous methods of pursuing others while relentlessly calling him cheap and expressing sympathy for Hang Yuanting.

 

Gu Jinmian didn’t hear his phone ring so many times. His mind was in a daze until someone brought up his takeout.

 

“Sorry, boss. We’ve been trying to contact them to delete the posts, but it hasn’t worked.”

 

Gu Jinmian pursed his dry lips, rubbed his paralyzed face, and said in a hoarse voice, “It’s okay.”

 

He thought it was nothing, just a few insults from people.

 

But after opening the takeout, a barbecue that he had been craving for a while, he couldn’t take a single bite. He even felt like throwing up while looking at it.

 

The dense private messages and forum comments hit him like a tidal wave, maliciously pouring into his body. Gu Jinmian felt a bit suffocated.

 

There was still no explosion on Weibo, and not even a mention of his and Yin Moshu’s CP hashtag.

 

Gu Jinmian was somewhat relieved, but also more on edge. It felt like he was carrying a bomb that could explode at any moment.

 

He couldn’t understand why he was so scared.

 

Perhaps it was because some of the discussions on the forum were true, and at least half of it was undeniable.

 

But that wasn’t him.

 

Private messages kept pouring in, and Gu Jinmian, using his remaining wits, sensed that there was a problem. Hesitating no more, he decided to call his second brother and tell him about the situation.

 

Gu Jinmian’s call to his brother was met with a turned-off phone, and the same was true for Secretary Gu’s phone.

 

Just as he was about to call the family driver, a call from Yin Moshu came in. Gu Jinmian’s hands trembled, and he immediately hung up.

 

His heart tightened as if he himself didn’t understand why he was so anxious.

 

Yin Moshu called again, but Gu Jinmian didn’t answer. He was afraid that if he did, Yin Moshu would sense something unusual.

 

Instead, Yin Moshu sent a message on Wechat asking about his location.

 

Gu Jinmian steadied himself and replied, “At home.”

 

He was heading home. Now, home was the safest place.

 

He knew how relentless fans could be.

 

Considering the craziness that fans of Bai Xinyu had done, and in the world created by the dog author, the fans of Han Yuanting must be equally intense. Han Yuanting’s fanbase was four times the size of Bai Xinyu’s.

 

Moreover, there was clearly someone guiding among them.

 

He needed to be cautious. It was unsafe outside to head home.

 

After sending the message to Yin Moshu, Gu Jinmian continued to call the driver at home. Then he sat in the office, constantly checking the internet to see how the situation was unfolding. The private messages, which felt like electric shocks, kept pouring in.

 

He squinted and configured his settings to block private messages from strangers, then cleared all existing messages, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

 

However, as soon as he disabled private messages, people started reposting forum threads about him and Yin Moshu on their CP super topic on Weibo.

 

From there, discussions on this matter began to grow on Weibo. Tens of thousands of people have posted ‘protection’ on Hang Yuanting Weibo.

 

Gu Jinmian tightly gripped his phone, unconsciously biting his lower lip.

 

At this moment, Gu Lifan’s call came in. ‘Mian Mian, I was on the plane just now. I know what happened. Don’t worry, someone will pick you up.’

 

“The driver is on his way,” Gu Jinmian steadied his breath. “Second Brother, the posts can’t be deleted. I’m afraid it will affect Eldest Brother. Can you handle it?”

 

“There are also things on Weibo. Don’t let Yin Moshu and the others see.”

 

For some reason, Gu Lifan hesitated, “Your family, leave it to big brother.'”

 

After hanging up the phone, Gu Jinmian went downstairs, the driver just arrived. As he stepped out of the company door, he felt a strange sensation and turned to look at a nearby tree.

 

Suddenly, a sharp pain struck his forehead, accompanied by the sound of something cracking.

 

There was a thick liquid on his forehead, with a faint eggy smell.

 

Gu Jinmian was stunned, his eyes wide open. In his dilated pupils, he saw two figures on the opposite side holding eggs and throwing them in his direction.

 

“Young Master!”

 

Gu Jinmian’s temple jumped, and his clear and beautiful eyes were filled with a hint of wrath. He licked the back of his teeth and clenched his fists, ready to step forward.

 

Suddenly, everything went black before him, and at the same time, he was pressed down.

 

The covering was a windbreaker, and it carried the familiar scent of cedar and orchids.

 

Gu Jinmian was momentarily stunned but immediately stopped struggling, calming down.

 

He heard the cold voice of Yin Moshu, “Go and delete the photos from their phones.”

 

He should be talking to the driver and bodyguards.

 

Then, everything brightened up, and the windbreaker on his head was taken away.

 

As Gu Jinmian squatted on the ground, he looked up to see Yin Moshu’s cold smile, carrying a hint of mockery and anger. He spoke in a cold tone, “Are you still going up to fight them?”

 

After a day of emotions piling up in his chest, Yin Moshu’s words suddenly burst all the accumulated feelings in Gu Jinmian. He responded like a firework ignited, “Why can’t I fight!”

 

When has he ever suffered such a grievance in his life?

 

Even during the two years when his mother had just passed away, and his father, devastated, immersed in alcohol, completely ignored him like an orphan, he had never felt so stifled. Whenever someone bullied him or made him angry, he would respond with his fists.

 

If it weren’t for the consideration of Gu Xijun, if it weren’t for him…

 

Gu Jinmian breathed heavily, glaring fiercely at Yin Moshu. “That’s right, I want to fight!”

 

Yin Moshu was taken aback.

 

Gu Jinmian was not short, but his slender frame crouched on the ground made him look vulnerable. His lips had unknowingly been bitten, and his gaze was fiercely locked onto Yin Moshu, yet the wetness in his eyes couldn’t conceal the overwhelming sense of injustice.

 

It was as if he was a wounded animal, kicked by its master after already being hurt outside.

 

It was hard to say whether the dominant emotion was more of grievance or anger, but one thing was certain—there was definitely no hatred.

 

Yin Moshu reached out to help him up, but his hand was slapped away with much more force than when Gu Jinmian grabbed his wrist in the morning.

 

Gu Jinmian stood up on his own and spoke with deadened strength, “You don’t need to anymore. Just start cursing casually right?”

 

Yin Moshu was taken aback again.

 

“Then why bother coming?” Gu Jinmian pushed him away and walked towards the car. “After all, everything is fake. No need for this!”

 

He wiped away the sticky egg residue on his forehead and saw more egg residue on the sleek black car, accompanied by a few crushed eggshells.

 

Gu Jinmian estimated that this egg must have flown over his head and hit the car when he was pressed down.

 

He blinked, sat in the car under the driver’s anxious gaze, and said in the gentlest tone he could muster, “Home.”

 

The driver didn’t immediately start the car. Another car door opened, and Yin Moshu got in. Only then did the driver start the car.

 

Gu Jinmian, for some reason, had a thin blush on his face. “Whose driver are you?”

 

The driver explained in a very soft voice, “I’m waiting for Young Master’s bodyguard.”

 

As he spoke, the bodyguard who went to delete the photos came back, and the car immediately drove away.

 

Gu Jinmian: “…”

 

His chest was heaving rapidly, and it seemed like he might jump out of the car window at any moment.

 

The driver and the bodyguard didn’t dare to breathe loudly, doing their best to minimize their presence.

 

Gu Jinmian gave them a glare and then glanced in the rearview mirror, catching sight of Yin Moshu looking at him with an indescribable smile in his eyes.

 

Unable to sit still any longer, Gu Jinmian felt as if there were needles on the car seat, and even the air was stifling, making it difficult to breathe freely.

 

He took a deep breath, pretending there was no one else in the car, and texted Gu Lifan, informing him that he was in the car.

 

As soon as he saw the phone, his anger surged again.

 

Suppress that Han Yuanting ‘force’.

 

At this point, with tens of thousands of comments under his Weibo post expressing “protection,” if he were to genuinely suppress Han Yuanting, who knows what people online would say about him.

 

Damn it!

 

Gu Jinmian felt extremely irritated.

 

Just then, he sensed a hand approaching, and without thinking, Gu Jinmian reached out and grabbed it.

 

Holding a towel, Yin Mosu approached to wipe Gu Jinmian’s face. However, Gu Jinmian caught his hand, prompting Yin Mosu to use his other hand to move Gu Jinmian’s hand away. The two engaged in a brief struggle, with Gu Jinmian finally having both his wrists held by Yin Mosu.

 

Gu Jinmian stared at him in disbelief.

 

Yin Mosu chuckled softly.

 

He now understood the meaning behind Gu Jinmian’s words before getting in the car.

 

Thus, he could see that when Gu Jinmian got in the car, he used harsh words to disguise his uneasiness.

 

Beast not only felt anger, grievance, but also unease.

 

And needed to be comforted properly.

 

However, Yin Mosu looked at Gu Jinmian, who was firmly held by him, staring at him with righteous indignation.

 

He actually didn’t understand why it turned out like this.

 

Fortunately, he didn’t promise Gu Xijun not to bully Gu Jinmian.

 

Yin Mosu wiped away the egg residue from Gu Jinmian’s forehead and the corner of his eye with a towel. When Gu Jinmian was about to resist again, Yin Mosu said, “I’m sorry, it was a mistake.”

 

Gu Jinmian was taken aback and immediately forgot to struggle.

 

“Afterwards, I’ll take you to fight them.”
