The last time Xie Yang saw Tao Yang’s name appear on the Internet was after the police issued a notice of Tao Yang’s arrest. It was three days after Tao Yang was arrested. There was a happy Spring Festival atmosphere on the Internet and the thing Tao Yang did that night wasn’t exposed.

The announcement by the police was very simple. It was a one sentence statement of the year, month and location where the police caught Tao Yang, who was planning to do something. Tao Yang had his own flow of melon eaters and soon, the topic of #Tao Yang was caught# climbed up the hot search.

Xie Yang was about to click into the hot search topic to see the excitement when he found that it was gone.

He paused before entering Tao Yang’s name into the search box. A lot of news about people with the name Tao Yang popped up. For example, a 65 year old Tao Yang from M City returned property to its owner, a 23 year old takeout delivery man in H City acted heroically, a 28 year old Miss Tao Yang from K City violently beat up a subway pervert… all types of content were available from the last two or three years.

There were so many Tao Yangs but there was no actor and designer Tao Yang.

Xie Yang realized something. He glanced sideways in the direction of the yard, retracted his gaze and clicked on the top line of news about the Mr Tao Yang who returned property to its owner. He opened the comments area and chose to set it by time.

A large number of newly issued question mark comments popped up just like Xie Yang guessed. The hot search appearing and then the hot search being withdrawn definitely wasn’t his illusion. He temporarily put away eating melons and checked the evaluation of ‘I See Xuanyuan’ by various professional critics.

The movie had been in theaters for a few days and the degree of online discussion had increased. Many critics gave professional evaluations one after another. The exaggerated praise of fans wasn’t objective so Xie Yang wanted to see some sharp comments.

He had just finished reading two movie reviews about his acting skills that said he was ‘ingenious but immature, better than expected’ and ‘perfect emotional expression but flawed lines’. Then he found another topic that said #why did Tao Yang’s hot search disappear# climbing up the hot search.

He raised his eyebrow and clicked it. Then Mr Tao Yang who returned property to its owner appeared again.

The melon-eaters were a collective mass of ‘???’ again.

Xie Yang couldn’t help laughing. This type of stupid money-burning act of staring at Weibo and withdrawing the hot search must’ve been done by a petty mouse. He got up and walked toward the yard. The moment he was about to open the door, he heard the uncle and nephew who were shoveling snow also mention Tao Yang.

“Uncle, I thought you were really going to buy Tao Yang’s plagiarism hot search. I didn’t expect it to be just to stimulate him.”

There was the loud sound of snow being shoveled followed by Qiu Xing’s chilly voice. “He isn’t worth my money.”

“Removing the hot search also takes a lot of money—”

“Concentrate on your work.”

Xie Yang narrowed his eyes. Plagiarism? What was this? He stepped back and started to eavesdrop.

The uncle and nephew quietly shoveled at the snow. Then Feng Qinglin’s voice was heard again. “Uncle, do you still want to hide it from my little uncle?”

The sound of snow being shoveled became louder.

Qiu Xing spoke fiercely, “Don’t bother your little uncle with these things.”
