Chapter 2

Sitting in front of the computer in the studio, I still didn't get it. Why the song I worked so hard to create was released by Shannon first?

I only created songs in my studio. So, I checked the footage of several monitors in the studio at double speed. I confirmed that in the past few months, besides me, no one had come in at all.

I followed the instructions online to check for computer viruses and other monitoring devices, but I found nothing.

My mind was in a mess, and I couldn't help but wonder.

Was I crazy? Shannon created the song, and I plagiarized her work?

Or since we were together so often, our inspiration became exactly the same?

I shook my head hard, trying to wake myself up a little. Looking at the completed song, I operated something casually.

The next day, Shannon released a new song, and I clicked to listen to it, feeling a chill all over my body.

Yesterday, I deliberately changed a word in the song, and the new song released by Shannon was exactly the version with the word I changed. I slowly put down my phone.

Finally, I confirmed that Shannon was the copycat.

But there was no surveillance at home. Yesterday, I was so anxious that I didn't even go out, and I didn't use any electronic devices. I even suspected that I had a bug on me, so I took a bath and didn't wear any jewelry. I slept alone in the second bedroom all night.

How did she copy me?

In order to find out the truth, I still released a song according to the original plan. However, this time I didn't announce it as a new song. Instead, I released an immature single from many years ago.

Less than ten minutes after it was released, I received countless malicious comments, almost identical to my previous life. They all accused me of plagiarism.

[Come on! Your best friend Shannon has already released this song. Who gave you the nerve to claim it as your original work?]

[You better be joking about promoting your song to your best friend, or I will find you disgusting.]

[Is the so-called music genius relying on plagiarism?]

Meanwhile, Shannon posted, too, just like in my previous life, proving that I did plagiarize her. She was heartbroken but willing to forgive me and give me another chance...

I instantly became the top trending topic.

News flooded the internet.

#Gina plagiarized#

#Copycats piss off#

#The road of the music genius' plagiarism has long been foreseen#

#Shannon is pitiful for being plagiarized by her best friend#

I just found it ridiculous and didn't respond. In my previous life, I found it strange that someone would accuse me of plagiarism so quickly after I released it. It turned out that Shannon deliberately bought an online army.

But public opinion quickly changed.

[Am I deaf? Shannon's song is a praise of love, and it is indeed a masterpiece, but Gina's song is obviously a joke she made. It's a song related to family affection that she posted years ago and didn't finish. How can they be the same?]

[I know Gina is more popular, but how is it possible for a tweet to become the top trending topic in less than half an hour?]

[Shannon actually accuses Gina herself? Did she really listen to the song or not?]

[Somehow I seem to smell a conspiracy.]
