Li Yibai and Zhao Chun both couldn't stop thinking about Yadan.
Zhao Chun wasn't too bad; he simply wanted to figure out if Guan Kunling was the talented Yadan. If she was, then wow, she was astonishingly young. But Li Yibai? That was a different story. He was suffering each day, worried that Yadan might start writing novels and steal his livelihood. He wasn't afraid of Yadan exposing his plagiarism—he knew that Yadan herself was no saint in that department, so she wouldn't dare.
Thus, Li Yibai reached out to an old friend from his rural days, a buddy who ran a street stall, and arranged for him to stake out in front of Huaxia Novel magazine's office. His instructions were to immediately report if he spotted a pretty, elegant young woman carrying letters. Days passed without a single sighting, and Li Yibai finally breathed a temporary sigh of relief.
