His face was calm yet somewhat sacred after the arson, but his dark, deep-set eyes sparkled with indifference. Lu Youyou could even read a sense of detachment from the world in those eyes. She could clearly feel her heart suddenly stop and then leap heavily again.
It was a familiar sensation, yet it made her break out in a cold sweat; she was genuinely frightened by Xu Lie.
Tsk. Xu Lie clicked his tongue, feeling troubled by Lu Youyou's sudden appearance. Subjectively, he viewed the humans of Drama World as peers, since they experienced joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness just like him. However, subconsciously, he still regarded them as mindless beings, instinctively overlooking their subjective agency. He thought of them merely as puppets, actors following a fixed script without any real autonomy.
If only Xu Lie had paid more attention to Lu Youyou's lively and friendly nature; if only he had considered that the Best Friend of the Second Female Lead revealed by Danmaku was actually a hint about his future interactions with her, rather than dismissing it because she had no significant role. Perhaps he could have deduced that during the time when the male lead Lin Yuanliang was gathering information, he might be approached by the seemingly unremarkable Lu Youyou.
This overly arrogant lesson was one he would remember; he would not make the same mistake again. The immediate priority was to deal with Lu Youyou first.
Xu Lie took a deep breath but decided against the overpowering smell of smoke. He tossed the lighter back into his backpack and pulled out two more packs of tissues to extend the burning time slightly.
Si Jing Tou was incredibly intelligent and kept filming in real-time, allowing the audience to glimpse that there lay a cold black handgun in Xu Lie's backpack.
"What is this?! Nan Er brings a gun to school? Is this really a youthful romance drama?"
"I knew Nan Er and Arson weren't that simple; this plot has taken off suddenly without any warning."
"Nan Er has quite the backstory; okay, I won't abandon the show just yet."
The number of Danmaku comments surged dramatically, one after another, almost obscuring Xu Lie's normal view. He could only block half of the Danmaku comments and forced a smile: "Lu Youyou, could you please keep this a secret for me?"
Huh?! Lu Youyou blinked her lively eyes twice, first looking down at the ground filled with flames before turning back to Xu Lie's face.
Keep it a secret? Do you even hear what you're saying?
The fire on the floor had charred the walls and tiles of the Gene Building. How could she keep this a secret?
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Lu Youyou had no time to think. The thick smoke had reached the threshold of the Smoke Alarm, causing it to start blaring.
Normally, Smoke Alarms are equipped with automatic sprinkler systems, but after beeping for a while, not a drop of water fell. It could only be said that the Mini Mecha purchased by Xu Lie was indeed quite effective in terms of cost performance.
In just a few seconds, the smoke spread, triggering the Smoke Alarms in the other corridors to join in the cacophony.
Snapped back to reality by the blaring alarms, Lu Youyou hurriedly refused, "This noise is beyond what I can keep quiet about. Xu Lie, you should just admit it honestly."
Xu Lie blinked, and a tear fell as if it had a mind of its own. "Actually, my sister was killed by the New Marriage Law."
The tear came suddenly, and his face was filled with anguish, evoking deep empathy. Coupled with the bombshell revelation about his sister's death, it shook Lu Youyou to her core.
It wasn't that Xu Lie's acting was particularly superb; anyone would be moved to tears in such a smoky and chaotic situation!
