"Is that it? The plot cuts off at such a crucial moment?! They should have cut those boring scenes from Di Yi Wei and left more room for Male Second Lead!"
"Male Second Lead's sister died because of the Marriage Law, so did Male Second Lead set the fire as revenge for her? Isn't that a bit childish?"
"It's not that simple. Didn't you see the gun in Male Second Lead's backpack? That shot is the crew's hint that Male Second Lead wouldn't just start a small fire and call it a day; there will definitely be more to come."
Huh? Only half of Danmaku and Xu Lie were blocked, but I can still see this information. Is Di Yi Wei really over?
Not much content was filmed, and Xu Lie quickly realized that he wasn't a character in the drama, and the camera wasn't following him.
Before class today, it seemed like the camera had been focused on male lead Lin Yuanliang and female lead Nv Meng Ling for quite some time. Adding in these later scenes, it was about enough content for one episode.
"Here it comes, here it comes! I'm first!"
"After waiting for seven days, it's finally updated."
"Do you think Female Second Lead Lu Youyou won't be shot by Male Second Lead?"
"You're overthinking it. After all, Lu Youyou is still a Female Second Lead. How could they kill off a Female Second Lead right after one episode? Besides, with both Male Second Lead and Female Second Lead being such tough characters, what’s there to fear after enduring a fire for seven days?"
"Hahaha, surviving the fire for seven days was too funny."
Wow, it's already the second episode? Still following that one-week update pattern like American or Japanese dramas.
The audience's time and the time in the Drama World are truly bizarre. Xu Lie hurriedly pulled back his wandering thoughts.
The Danmaku made his emotions incoherent; he could only rely on the fire scene to squeeze out a few tears to deceive Lu Youyou: "You probably don’t understand, right? That kind of despair where you feel utterly alone."
Lu Youyou, however, had very coherent emotions. To describe it more precisely, she was overwhelmed with mixed feelings, various thoughts colliding chaotically in her mind.
First, she was frightened by Xu Lie's arson and indifferent gaze; then she was confused by his request for secrecy; finally, she witnessed Xu Lie crying in sympathy.
A multitude of emotions intertwined, creating a tangled mess that left her mind crashing. One moment she felt pity for Xu Lie, and the next she thought he shouldn't be allowed to get away with his actions.
Ignoring all of that, Xu Lie took a few steps forward and dragged the dazed Lu Youyou away from the scene. If they didn't leave soon, he would really be blinded by the thick smoke, and with three bundles of paper around them, it wouldn't take long to burn completely.
As they walked away, Xu Lie didn’t forget to distract Female Second Lead: "My parents passed away unexpectedly, which led my sister and me to rely on each other since childhood."
"Life without parents was extremely difficult, but my sister still worked hard to hold our little family together and took great care of me."
"Someone like my sister deserves a happy future, but when it came to matching with my brother-in-law through Gene Matching, she ended up with an alcoholic who abused her!"
Xu Lie couldn't say much more; they were only two corridors away. Given their quick pace, how much could he really say?
At this moment, some staff members spotted them and were about to take them for an emergency evacuation.
As for the sister who died due to the Marriage Law, and the alcoholic, abusive brother-in-law, all of that was just background information created by Xu Lie before he participated, costing him five points.
Creating a fictional backstory also requires points; for someone like Xu Lie, it was relatively cheap. If he were to craft a character background involving a powerful tycoon, it would typically cost several hundred points.
He planned to stir things up in the Drama World, and if he didn’t refine his personal information, it would be easy for him to be investigated. After all, he had appeared out of nowhere without any past traces, which would raise suspicions.
It didn’t matter if he couldn’t say everything; some things didn’t need to be fully articulated. Others would naturally fill in the gaps, and Xu Lie was confident about that. He had mentioned that his sister died due to the Marriage Law and that his brother-in-law was an alcoholic and a scoundrel. Was it necessary to elaborate on what ultimately happened to her?
Sure enough, Lu Youyou did not report Xu Lie for arson to the Gene Building staff; she remained silent.
As Xu Lie spoke tearfully, it reminded Lu Youyou of her own beloved sister. Due to the Population Crisis and the Marriage Law, their generation had almost no only children; most people had older siblings or younger ones.
Lu Youyou’s sister had always doted on her, saving treats and toys for her since they were young, resulting in an extremely close sisterly bond. The thought that her own sister could have died at the hands of an abusive brother-in-law because of the Marriage Law and Gene Matching sent chills down her spine. Shaking her head, Lu Youyou tried to shake off that thought. She simply couldn’t dare to think any further.
