"That concludes the overall situation of Dream Game World in recent days. I believe those of you watching the live broadcast have gained a detailed understanding from a god's perspective as to why such a significant reversal has occurred."
Chen Rui smiled at the camera.
Since the incident involving Li Xue went viral online, Chen Rui, as the central figure of the event, became the focal point of public opinion. Naturally, those from Dawn Media, who were broadcasting Dream World, would not miss such a golden opportunity and requested Chen Rui to return to the studio once again.
This was also why Chen Rui had to appear in such a 'public setting' despite the immense pressure.
Lin Yuqi turned slightly towards Chen Rui and asked with a smile, "Mr. Chen, although I know your time is precious, I still want to take a moment of it."
Chen Rui knew exactly what she was going to ask, but what could he do?
With a forced smile, Chen Rui replied, "Of course."
"In fact, this question is one that many netizens have been repeatedly asking, so I have no choice," Lin Yuqi said with a slight bitter smile, directly shifting the blame onto countless netizens, leaving Chen Rui with no target for his frustration.
"Mr. Chen, let's assume a scenario; you only need to help us analyze it, so there's no need to be too nervous."
Chen Rui laughed heartily; he truly had no way to deal with this clever girl. She clearly pushed herself into a corner while shifting the blame onto others—what a masterful act of using someone else's knife to kill.
"Let's assume—remember, it's just an assumption—that a couple who have loved each other for a long time but have been separated for five years meet again. Do you think there will still be feelings between them?"
Chen Rui smiled wryly; she didn't even bother to change the years. Anyone with half a brain could guess who this was about and what incident it referred to.
"If they truly loved each other and did not fall in love with anyone else during those five years, then naturally," he replied.
Lin Yuqi nodded with a smile, her eyes holding a hint of sarcasm.
"Alright, let's assume they continue to love each other and live together for a while, but one party somehow makes the other stop loving them. What do you think the reason is?"
Chen Rui could clearly sense the tension in her words; she was obviously on Li Xue's side. He shrugged helplessly.
"I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean by 'some method.' Is it infidelity, disappearing, or something else? If we consider the premise, I don't think one party would simply give up on the other. After all, if they could endure five years together, how significant could a few mistakes be?"
"Fine," Lin Yuqi shot Chen Rui a glare, as if to say, 'If you keep pretending to be confused, it won't be that easy.'
"Now, let's say the man directly causes the woman to lose her memory and forget their past together. Naturally, she wouldn't have any strong feelings for him anymore. Why do you think that is?"
Lin Yuqi had laid out her method clearly; it was evident she was referring to Chen Rui and Li Xue's situation.
Chen Rui shook his head with a bitter smile.
"I don't know."
"How can you not know!" Lin Yuqi exclaimed, slamming her hand on the table, her eyes blazing with anger as if they could ignite Chen Rui.
Her outburst startled the director, He Quanli, who jumped up in surprise. Fortunately, there was nearly three minutes of buffer time in the live broadcast, and He Quanli quickly instructed the editing team to cut this segment.
"I truly don't know," Chen Rui replied calmly. "Because I have no idea what happened between the man and woman. Plus, given your premise, I really can't make a judgment."
Chen Rui's words left Lin Yuqi stunned. What did this have to do with the woman? Li Xue was completely at Chen Rui's mercy!
Chen Rui glanced at Lin Yuqi and smiled lightly. "You mentioned that after being in a relationship for five years, the couple hadn't seen each other at all and didn't even know of each other's existence, right?"
Lin Yuqi nodded.
"Did they continue to love each other after they met again? Right?"
Lin Yuqi nodded again. Although she wasn't quite sure what Chen Rui meant, it was indeed the truth.
"Do you think the love between these two lovers is reliable?"
"How could it be reliable? That man is a scumbag!" Lin Yuqi said, becoming a bit agitated again, and she shot Chen Rui another glare.
Chen Rui forced a smile. This girl still didn't understand his point, so he stated more directly.
"You think that after being apart for five years, they can rekindle their relationship. What kind of intensity does that feeling have in today's context? Isn't their love unreliable?"
This time, it was Chen Rui who questioned sharply. His gaze turned somewhat piercing, making Lin Yuqi hesitant to meet his eyes.
Is this how you show you still love her? If so, why did you let her lose her memory? Why did you let her leave you? Why did you shut her out?
"But if that's the case, why did the boy—"
"How would I know?" Chen Rui shouted angrily, then calmed down and looked at Lin Yuqi. "Let me tell you a story."
Before Lin Yuqi could respond, Chen Rui began to speak on his own.
"Actually, it's not just a story; this really happened over twenty years ago!"
Chen Rui's tone was somewhat somber, giving off a sense of helplessness, sadness, and sorrow.
"A couple from the city came to the big city to work. During their first break, they stood beside the construction site where the boy worked and took selfies."
"Suddenly, a screw fell from above the construction site with a clattering sound. The boy saw that the girl was standing directly beneath it and rushed to push her out of the way."
"But just when the girl thought the boy was trying to protect her from the falling screw, he suddenly forcefully moved her above him, shielding himself with her. They both fell to the ground."
"The screw struck the girl's right shoulder, leaving it bruised. Seeing the boy's selfishness, tears streamed down her face as she slapped him hard for trying to speak and ran away crying."
At this point, Chen Rui stopped talking. Lin Yuqi, realizing what had happened, asked in confusion, "Is that it?"
Chen Rui nodded silently. "The main storyline is indeed over."
"What do you mean by that?" Lin Yuqi asked, puzzled. In this story, there was also a couple; the boy had been selfish for a moment, and the girl had left in tears. But what happened next? If the story ended here, what was Chen Rui's point?
Chen Rui sighed and continued.
"There is a sequel to this story. The girl left that city and went to another city where she found a man who treated her gently and well. They got married smoothly, and after marrying, she was incredibly happy and wanted to show off to that boy from before. The construction site had turned into a building by then, and naturally, the boy was no longer there. She even returned to her hometown to look for him but found only a jar of ashes."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuqi understood the general situation but still couldn't grasp why things had turned out this way.
"The girl learned from the boy's family that he had died on the construction site on the very day they parted ways. The cause of death was that his chest had been pierced by rebar."
By this point, most people, including Lin Yuqi, understood the entirety of this tragic story and couldn't help but feel sorrow for the ill-fated lovers.
"Now let's revisit that scene!" Chen Rui's voice turned cold, causing Lin Yuqi sitting beside him to shiver involuntarily.
"When the boy and girl were resting, a screw fell rapidly from above. The boy intended to shield the girl with his body but noticed the rebar sticking out of the ground as he lunged toward her. The rebar was only about twenty centimeters above ground since it was used for foundation work, but if he dove directly onto it, it would be fatal."
"In a moment of desperation, he flipped the girl over him to shield her with his own body from the rebar. When he tried to explain himself afterward, she slapped him hard and left. Watching her go, he gradually lost strength and ultimately succumbed due to delayed rescue."
The story has come to an end. Chen Rui was right; when the girl left, the story concluded as well. However, without a so-called god's perspective, it was impossible to fully understand all the events that transpired, let alone comprehend the feelings of those involved.
Silence enveloped the room, both in the live stream and among the viewers watching online.
Anyone with a bit of intelligence could piece together the reasons behind Chen Rui's story. Yet, without knowing the complete sequence of events or all the details, it was challenging to analyze the situation thoroughly. Relying solely on a portion of known information would yield a low accuracy rate in conclusions.
Chen Rui sighed again, a hint of sadness evident in his demeanor.
"So why is it that I cannot determine why the lover you mentioned experienced such a situation? It’s because I don’t know what they went through together, or what the boy has faced, or what challenges lie ahead for them."
Lin Yuqi glanced at Chen Rui with a sense of helplessness, noticing that he too wore a pained expression.
Chen Rui remained oblivious to Lin Yuqi's gaze and continued speaking.
"However, one thing I can be certain of is that your couple is still in love! They both deeply care for each other!"
Lin Yuqi looked at Chen Rui in surprise; this was completely different from her initial expectations.
"Because the many events leading up to their reunion have left them unable to let go of each other. So how many things in this world could truly separate them? From my perspective, the boy must have discovered something that forced them apart temporarily. Or perhaps he wanted the girl to forget something, which led him to unilaterally 'end' their relationship."
"How painful must this be for the boy? To let go of his beloved? How many people could actually do that?"
