Shen Ziqiong laughed out loud.
Jiang Rong, who has returned to his original form in the online game, does not cry like a beautiful girl with pear blossoms in the rain, looking pitiful, but like a small animal crying emoticon, and the whole thing is pitiful.gif
So miserable, so cute.
Shen Ziqiong apologized in her heart while honestly taking a few screenshots, and immediately realized that the setting of "Heart Shadow Link" was really an advantage.
After all, if it were not for "Rongrong" who felt wronged by Bala and shed tears, this plot would have turned into a classic "the heroine was hated by everyone because of her accidental intimacy with the hero, and suffered from campus bullying one after another. The seemingly strong female protagonist One day, the protagonist finally couldn't help but squatted in the corner and cried bitterly. At this time, the affectionate male lead with a soft light filter appeared...
"Well, it's too routine. Fortunately, it didn't develop like this." Shen Ziqiong was shocked by her own imagination.
She had watched a similar campus idol drama a long time ago. The female supporting characters in it were the same as Wan Ning's small group in the drama version of "Heart Shadow Link". They were basically female rivals with vicious love brains, without any life of their own, as if They were born to be obsessed with male protagonists, jealous of female protagonists and to antagonize female protagonists.
At the same time, because the story takes place in school, people who feel sorry for the heroine will shout, "Everyone deserves to be bullied on campus." It’s the author’s own problem who writes instrumental plots.
In the end, when seeing the male protagonist and the female protagonist together, this group of viewers either felt that the female protagonist had won (in the female competition) and felt relieved and satisfied, or they felt sorry for the affectionate male lead because they were on the wrong side, and made some comments like "XX baby" "If the heroine doesn't love you, I will love you" is a loving remark.
After such a mix-up, "being bullied on campus" has almost become a fashion item worn by the heroine. It is as insignificant as "giving you a few million to leave my son". Its purpose is only to tell the audience that the heroine has been wronged. What kind of hardships did the heroine go through to be with the hero.
Maybe it's because of my sensitive mind. After watching "Daytime Rain" and then looking back at the old idol drama and "Shadow Link" at this time, Shen Ziqiong always felt a little subtle and uncomfortable.
Bullying from peers, class oppression between the rich and the poor... heavy issues were eliminated one by one, turning into bricks that the male and female protagonists stepped on on the road of love.
However, the purpose of watching idol dramas is to watch handsome guys and beauties fall in love and watch extremely romantic and beautiful scenes. Therefore, if you take a serious look and study the logic of the plot and the three concepts hidden in it, you will be criticized by others:
"Then why don't you watch a realistic-themed movie? Is it necessary to go online here?"
So having said that, the online game setting of "Shadow Link" is indeed a highlight. The heroine has a small world where she can vent her emotions and face her true self, and there is also a male protagonist in this small world. This directly refers to idol dramas. There is no need to go through the core of "Everything paves the way for the emotional drama between the male and female protagonists", "The vicious female partner bullies the female protagonist → The male protagonist comes forward to provide psychological comfort to the female protagonist → The male protagonist learns that his buddy likes the female protagonist, and is inexplicably shaken → The male and female protagonists finally finally "Face-to-face contact again" is a bloody and routine step.
In addition, the presence of bullying scenes has also been reduced again and again under such a setting. It truly achieves "since it is an instrumental plot, don't emphasize it too much", so that the audience has not had time to worry about "hey, the bullying of the heroine here belongs to School bullying, isn’t that good?”, and you will be endeared by the miserable and cute heroine who shows her vulnerable side.
At this time, if the male protagonist appears in time, everyone's blood pressure that has just risen will be immediately calmed down, and they will feel a sense of "oh, no matter how much trouble you monsters and ghosts cause, you can't stop our male protagonist and female protagonist from having a good relationship".
Sure enough, just when Shen Ziqiong thought of this, a light unique to teleportation lit up next to the tearful "Rong Rong", and "Jing Chen" stepped out of it.
"Hey hey hey..." Shen Ziqiong smiled like an aunt reflexively.
good! Comfort does not last overnight! Idol dramas should sprinkle sugar liberally!
The White Rabbit's cries were heard by the Black Goat. He stopped, and for a second or two he seemed to be hesitating on how to make his opening remarks.
This is not the first time he has faced such a scene. She is delicate and prone to tears. Ever since they met, he has seen every one of her sobs, sobs, whimpers, and wails, and some of them were caused by him.
But once he could treat it roughly without any psychological burden, but now he just feels helpless and troubled.
Liao Jingchen is obviously very good at comforting others.
He knows a lot of words and has practiced them many times in social situations of different age groups. He can easily use a few words to make a sad person burst into laughter, or even cheer up and regain confidence. .
So what hindered his steps and the hand he wanted to reach out? Maybe it was just like that day when "Rong Rong" asked him in surprise whether he cared about her and said that he was "quite a pretty person" despite the shouting and scolding. Okay", making him angry and leave. Whenever this kind of "Liao Jingchen" part is discovered and needed, "Jing Chen" will always feel resistance and escape.
He closed his eyes and walked over.
"Rong Rong" was so focused in her crying that she didn't notice anyone approaching from behind.
A hand hesitated in mid-air for half a second, the slender fingers curled up and opened slightly, and finally fell like a feather on the crying "Rong Rong" shoulder.
"Wooji?!"
The little guy who was slapped on the shoulder turned around with furry hair. Her face was stained with tears. Her bangs were messy and swollen against the wall, and her red and swollen eyes looked even more embarrassed. It almost had the effect of crying into the shape of poached eggs in anime.
"…………What’s wrong with you."
Liao Jingchen spoke with difficulty.
He wanted to use a more "Jingchen" method (who knows what the so-called "Jingchen" method is), but his concern only became awkward and cold.
"Rong Rong"'s face, which was already flushed with excitement from crying, turned even redder after she saw who it was. She whined and was speechless. She just raised her hands to wipe her tears, but "Jing Chen" stood there. In front of her, an indescribable sense of security enveloped her, and she wiped more and more tears. In the end, even she was surprised why they looked like beads with broken strings and could not be wiped away no matter how hard they were wiped.
"W-I...I don't...master..."
"Rong Rong" wanted to explain, but her voice was broken in sobs and she couldn't stop crying.
"..."
"Jingchen" sighed softly, put on the goat mask, and gently placed his right hand on the shoulder of "Rong Rong" who was facing him, pressing her into his arms.
After a brief pause, the crying from his chest became more fierce.
The tall black goat is silent, silent, like a mountain peak that accommodates the white rabbit.
The camera pans and transitions from this side of the wall to the other side of the wall.
"...The task of obtaining the dry grass is too difficult. I have not been able to defeat it twice."
"Rongrong" - Jiang Rong lowered her head and murmured. This was the first time she had deceived "Jingchen", but in reality there was no need to talk about those endless malicious intentions. She really couldn't talk about them. I don't care, I'm just holding it in so hard that I need to find a chance to cry hard.
She is far more sober than those who exclude her. She knows that the motivation for all their actions comes from Liao Jingchen, the elite student of Jingyue University, but so what? She knew that someone stepped on the hem of her skirt that night, so that she had to claw her way back to balance, so she unexpectedly danced with that popular lover - if she said that she had danced before He created the most beautiful pas de deux and didn’t care about the one with Liao Jingchen. Would anyone believe it?
But it is what it is.
The person she likes is "Jing Chen" in the online game, not the real Liao Jingchen who she has never met several times.
So just like she said to Gan Xiaoyu, there is no need to pay attention to Wan Ning and those people, they are not worthy of her wasting time.
The biggest counterattack is to be yourself.
Jiang Rong understood, understood everything, she was just...a little aggrieved.
How can anyone have an extremely solid heart of steel embedded in their chest? They are all made of meat, so it is normal for them to hurt.
She then told herself to cry. No matter how embarrassing it is, it is extremely safe to cry in the game. No one will know about it, and no one will find out that the powerful Jiang Rong also had a moment when he was as fragile as tofu. , including Gan Xiaoyu, who is closest to her, will not feel that "Jiang Rong's character has collapsed."
Don't show timidity outside. This is Jiang Rong's experience since childhood.
The weaker you are, the more you will be looked down upon, the more you will be discriminated against, bullied, and taken advantage of.
"The law of society is that the weak eat the strong." She already knew this from the first time she stood in front of the class teacher and answered "Why is the contact number on her father's column empty?"
"Oh...that's it, okay, I get it." The class teacher's eyes at that time became obviously gentle, and the tenderness was full of sympathy and pity, as if a passerby had discovered a stray cat and was willing to be kind and stop to feed it some ham. intestinal.
But experienced stray cats know that such people will not take it home.
As expected, that goodwill was shown in a stupid way: the class teacher told the class at the class meeting that Jiang Rong was from a single-parent family without a father, and it was not easy for her to be orphaned and widowed, so everyone should take more care of her.
There were sparse responses and imperceptible sneers from below.
The head teacher has good intentions, but unfortunately this does not prevent him from doing bad things with good intentions. He might have thought that Jiang Rong would get more help and care with his extra emphasis, but no, of course not. It is the nature of all living things to bully the weak and fear the strong, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and children who have not yet learned mature social norms are best at discovering Which one is the weakest in the crowd?
Jiang Rong, whose scars and weaknesses were exposed in public, had to become "violent".
First of all, she must study hard. The aura of a top student and the value represented by her grades will make her look highly upon by teachers and schools. Secondly, she had to hold back and couldn't tell her mother or her teacher. The former wouldn't be able to help but she wouldn't be able to sleep. The latter, even if she stood up for her for a while, would add a few more "s" to her label of "no father". Cowards,” “two-skinned” and “whistle-blowers,” and then make the situation worse by emboldening their boring peers.
Finally, she fights back.
Just like she used a broom handle to drive her mother's third uncle out of the house, just like she put her hands on her hips and counted all the male classmates who called her "man-bitch". She was strong, arrogant, cold, and unhuman. When the well-proportioned body stands up, it does not look slim, but looks like a piece of human-shaped ice.
No one can crack this ice, no one can.
Even the innermost ice core, which was wrapped in a thick layer of ice, was riddled with holes.
When her father was still alive, the name on her household register was Jiang Rong.
Later, when she entered high school, Jiang Rong took it upon herself to change the rong, which symbolizes the beauty, fragrance, and delicateness of the hibiscus, into the banyan tree.
Jiang Rong wants to make a big tree.
The wide crown of the tree provides shade for the mother; the lush branches and leaves prevent pests and diseases from invading.
She was no longer the doted little girl nestled in her parents' arms very early on.
If it weren't for the game bracelet he got by chance, if it weren't for the online game called "Heart Shadow Link", Jiang Rong wouldn't let "Rong Rong" appear in the world again.
She stuffed her real self, which was completely different from reality, into the online game. As a "back-up" existence, she unfolded the last piece of tolerant grassland when she couldn't hold on anymore.
With the appearance of "Jingchen", this grassland becomes more and more vast, and every gust of wind blowing in the face is full of relaxation, comfort and security.
Jiang Rong didn't realize that "Rong Rong" was also changing.
She could obviously throw herself into his arms and cry, stammering out the injustice she had suffered during this period. "Jingchen" was her master, who spoke few words and was fierce, but would not truly Instead of harming her, he would teach her, care for her, buy her equipment and lead her to dance, so hiding in his arms and crying would not be something that would lead to rejection and disgust - Jiang Rong could vaguely feel this in his heart a little.
But he still chose to swallow the pain and found an excuse to explain his gaffe.
"……Um."
Judging from this slightly helpless response, "Jing Chen" seemed to believe it.
He raised the Tang Dao on his waist and said, "Wait here."
[Heart-Searching and God-Searching] There are many small tasks in this hidden task chain that do not require two players to be present at the same time. In the past, Jiang Rong was responsible for running errands and collecting mission props, and "Jingchen" was responsible for the key large-scale dungeon. Take action.
Now, Jiang Rong was "bullied so miserably" by a transitional task that she even burst into tears, so "Jing Chen" took over her functions and disappeared in the corner after a few steps.
"Ah, okay..."
Jiang Rong felt happy and embarrassed for a moment.
What kind of soft bunny image does she have in Master's eyes?
Woo.
However, the master is the number one boss in "Shadow Link". I'm afraid everyone is a loser according to his standards... right?
Jiang Rong rubbed her cheeks, which felt particularly good in online games, and quickly coaxed herself.
"Huh, really, I can't cry like this anymore, it's so embarrassing!"
She murmured in a low voice and pulled her soft face again and again, "Oh! It hurts, it hurts..."
Rubbing herself in pain, Jiang Rong called up the system light screen, skillfully switched to the character page, and looked at the small screen to check whether the tears on her face had completely disappeared.
Not long after, two goat horns that were slightly yellowed and stained with blood came from far to near. Jiang Rong, who had completely restored his former vitality, jumped up from the ground with a "swish" and ran towards "Jingchen".
"Master is so amazing!gt;lt;"
She circled around the black goat, and he put a hand on her head, causing her to stagger.
"Uh-huh."
Jiang Rong's previous excuse was not outrageous. This transitional task was indeed a bit more difficult than before. However, she could pass it no matter how hard she tried, but now because of a lie, she had to trouble "Jing Chen" to do it herself.
"Let's go." "Jingchen" said after getting the mission props.
"Okay!"
As always, "Rongrong" spread out his short legs and followed him with a sense of healing.
