Being impersonated?

“Clang, clang, clang!”

“Woo woo woo!”

With the sound of wheels and whistles, the train slowly started to move!

This was a passenger train bound for the capital.

Zhao Dongchuan and Tian Runye were currently sitting on the lower bunk of the sleeper car, looking out the window.

“Here, have some water!”

Zhao Dongchuan smiled as he handed a steaming cup of water to Tian Runye.

“Mhm, mhm…”

Tian Runye smiled and took it, giving Zhao Dongchuan a sweet glance.

After these past few days together, their relationship had rapidly warmed up, like honey blended with oil!

“This trip will take several days… make sure to rest!”

Zhao Dongchuan said with a smile, then made the bed and lay down.

While they were sightseeing in Huangyuan City, he took Tian Runye to the train station ticket office. Relying on his unit’s letter of introduction and his cadre status, he bought two sleeper tickets.

In the process, he inevitably leveraged his “writer” identity.

With the collapse of the "Gang of Four", the turmoil began to end, and the literary world gradually became active.

More and more people began to pay attention to the poems he had written earlier.

Especially “A Generation” truly spoke the hearts of too many people!

At the same time, “Facing the Sea, With Spring Blossoms” gave encouragement to young people.

Older people, however, preferred “love of life” more.

As time fermented, his national popularity had significantly increased, especially among young people.

As night fell, Zhao Dongchuan led Tian Runye to the dining car.

Rows of dining tables were already occupied by many people.

Zhao Dongchuan and Tian Runye found an empty table that had just been cleared.

Looking at the menu on the restaurant blackboard, they ordered three dishes and four steamed buns.

Although Tian Runye was traveling far from home for the first time, with Zhao Dongchuan by her side, she didn't feel nervous or unfamiliar. She simply followed Zhao Dongchuan, occasionally offering her opinions.

“There’s beer here, want to try some?”

Zhao Dongchuan asked with a smile.

“Sure, I’ve never had beer before, though I’ve had plenty of soda!”

“Hahaha, the taste of beer, if you haven’t had it, you might not like it much. But it’s cold now, so iced beer might taste better!”

Saying that, he ordered another bottle of beer and began to wait.

As time passed, more and more people filled the dining car.

So when two young people came to their table asking to share it, they weren’t surprised.

These two were also young, a man and a woman, seemingly a couple too.

“Hello, Comrade, is this seat taken?”

The young man politely asked Tian Runye, naturally ignoring Zhao Dongchuan across from her.

“Good… I hope you remain this polite…” Zhao Dongchuan saw it and remembered it, pondering silently.

“No one, you can sit!”

Tian Runye smiled slightly and said.

Seeing Tian Runye, who was smiling like a flower, the man was clearly stunned. The woman next to him couldn't stand it and reached out to pinch his lower back.

“Brother Zhao, what are you looking at…”

“Hiss…”

Zhao Dongchuan ignored the actions of the two and got up to sit next to Tian Runye.

“You two can sit…”

Seeing that Zhao Dongchuan seemed to know Tian Runye, the young man didn't say anything more and sat with the woman across from them.

“Hello, my name is Zhao Dongchuan, and I am a writer. May I ask, Miss, where are you headed?” The man looked at Tian Runye and suddenly said with a chuckle.

At these words, Zhao Dongchuan and Tian Runye both froze. They exchanged glances, seeing the astonishment in each other’s eyes.

What does that mean? He's called Zhao Dongchuan and he's a writer? What a coincidence, not only the same name, but both are writers.

Zhao Dongchuan reached out and held Tian Runye’s small hand, signaling her not to speak yet.

“This is my partner, we are going to the capital…”

“I heard you say you’re a writer? What works have you written?” Zhao Dongchuan asked calmly.

He felt as if he had encountered a swindler impersonating him.

Before that “Zhao Dongchuan” could answer, the girl next to him, with a hint of pride, said, “Hmph… never heard of him, have you? This is the writer Zhao Dongchuan, who recently wrote ‘Facing the Sea, With Spring Blossoms’…”

As she spoke, she unceremoniously put her arm around the man, completely disregarding the public setting.

“Who am I? Where am I?”

Zhao Dongchuan looked speechless! Alright, alright, he's being targeted by a scheme.

Using his name to trick young girls, and now even planning to use this identity to deceive Tian Runye… This is truly outrageous.

The man looked triumphant, his nose held high.

He smiled at Tian Runye and said, “Miss, do you like poetry!”

“Uh… I also really like ‘Facing the Sea, With Spring Blossoms’. Are you the writer Zhao Dongchuan?” Tian Runye looked at Zhao Dongchuan and said with a chuckle.

“Mhm… yes~ This poem, I spent a long time contemplating and wrote it during my field research in the countryside…” The man chuckled, as if he felt the fish was about to bite.

Zhao Dongchuan calmly asked the woman, “Are you his girlfriend?”

“Not yet, he said I’m still on probation. As long as I perform well, he might consider dating me…” The woman said, her face flushing.

“Mhm!”

Zhao Dongchuan nodded and said to Tian Runye, “I’m going to get something, the food’s ready, you eat first!”

Then he got up, gave Tian Runye a look, and left… Tian Runye, who seemed to know what Zhao Dongchuan was going to do, turned and chatted with the two people across from them with a chuckle, a hint of sympathy flashing in her eyes for the woman… Not long after, Zhao Dongchuan returned. He looked at Tian Runye, who was eating, with a chuckle.

“The matter is handled, let’s eat well!”

“Mhm…”

Tian Runye smiled and nodded.

Seeing that Tian Runye was beautiful and ignored him, the man decided to pick a fight with Zhao Dongchuan. He turned his head and provoked Zhao Dongchuan, “What do you do… can you write poetry?”

“Hahaha!”

Zhao Dongchuan burst into laughter and shook his head.

“What are you laughing at?”

“I’m laughing at your bad luck!”

“My bad luck… I…”

The man was about to say something more.

Just then, two train police officers in uniform, with guns at their waists, walked over.

They nodded at Zhao Dongchuan and approached the man.

“Your scheme has been exposed. Someone reported you for impersonating a celebrity… seducing women, acting like a hooligan… disturbing public order. We have already sought instructions from our superiors and will arrest you directly!”

As he spoke, he took out handcuffs and was about to cuff the man!

“No, no, no, Comrade Police, there’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding… I didn’t impersonate a writer…”

Seeing that his deception was exposed, the man still feigned composure, acting as if there was a hidden story, trying to find an opportunity to escape.

“Comrade Police, are you mistaken? This is the famous writer from our province’s Huangyuan City… Zhao Dongchuan~ How could he be a swindler?”

The woman said in a trembling voice.
