Shi Jinzhe, a cheater in a survival game, falls into a desperate situation in the third game. At the critical moment of life and death, a broken stone statue saves his life by accident.
The m...
The car jolted, and Shekh, who was not sitting properly, was thrown against it. She was speaking, but Shi Jinzhe could not hear her.
The hand that had touched hers was quickly pulled back, actively avoiding physical contact. She even lowered her head, unable to make eye contact.
Time was running out, and I was speechless.
He can't speak, he can't listen, and his character is introverted and shy. Fortunately, the game hasn't completely let him go; he has a palm-sized notebook in his pants pocket that he can use to write.
He picked up the pen, intending to write the words "deaf and mute," but another force controlled the pen, forcing him to change the direction of the strokes.
He insisted on writing two sentences when something could be explained in just two words.
[I'm sorry, I can't hear or speak. If you need to tell me something, could you please write it down?]
Very polite, but also a waste of time.
Sheh took the notebook from her hand, glanced at Shi Jinzhe's profile, and wrote in the paper: [The car was too bumpy, I bumped into you, ?]
Shekh said he couldn't bring himself to love the heart he drew at the end. He said, "Just apologize, why write a heart? You didn't even write 'I'm sorry'?"
The notebook was taken back by Shi Jin, and the two of them didn't speak again.
The main problem is that the plot doesn't give them a chance to speak.
The other players on the bus, who were being controlled by their characters, were belatedly acting out their fear of driverless cars, shouting that they wanted to get off the bus and go home.
The girl who imitated Daiyu's crying called herself Jiang Xiaowan. She had a timid and hesitant demeanor and kept acting out how to escape from the front row seats. Her eyes were slightly calm, but the fearful expression on her face was most convincing when she ran to the back and tripped on flat ground.
The monstrous boy who threatened her suddenly stood up, his brows furrowed, and when he looked up at her with the backlight, the shadows around his eyes and brows appeared extremely violent.
The biceps exposed by the sleeveless top were more exaggerated than those of a trained fitness instructor, creating a stark contrast with the frail Jiang Xiaowan on the ground.
"You...you don't hit me, I didn't mean to, I'm scared."
Jiang Xiaowan, who was lying on the ground, sobbed and turned over to sit up. She supported herself with her arms on the ground and hid behind her. Her whole body exuded the feeling that she could sit up and move, but she didn't know how tiring it was to stand up and hide.
"Don't bully girls; it's only natural to be afraid."
Fu Guan took half a step forward, helped Jiang Xiaowan up, took out a tissue, unfolded it into three folds, and gently wiped away her tears.
He shielded Jiang Xiaowan with his body and extended a hand to the young man, Chaoxiong.
"Once we're here at this summer camp, we'll all be friends. Everyone's scared when something unusual happens, but we can't panic. Let's get to know each other. My name is Fu Guanzai."
Fu Guan extended his hand forward, exuding an air of affluence. "I see you seem to have some training, quite impressive. I genuinely want to be friends with you, get to know you?"
The young man, Chao Xiong, didn't agree, and Fu Guan didn't blush. He had Jiang Xiaowan sit in the second-to-last row and go around getting to know each player.
He knew Shi Jinzhe and Shehe, especially Shehe, because Fu Guan hadn't investigated why the humanoid prop would take up a player's slot.
There's a reason the game is designed this way. He's just a player; the most important thing is to do more and ask fewer questions.
Walking up to Ye Zhan, he said sarcastically, "You seem to be younger than all of us. Has your little brother finished his homework?"
Ye Zhan responded "well-behavedly," "Thank you for your concern, brother. I've finished writing."
Fu Guan forced a smile: "Then I hope we have a pleasant journey, especially you."
After going around once, he memorized the characteristics of the people in the car, which were:
Jiang Xiaowan, a delicate and fragile young woman, was on the verge of tears.
Lin Shu with pink pigtails and her on-screen boyfriend, Huang Yingzong, with his youthful, doll-like face.
Ye Zhan is well-behaved and polite, and likes to call people "brother" or "sister".
Yao Shu, a pretty girl who seemed the most normal and never spoke.
The deaf-mute, introverted Shi Jinzhe and the indifferent teacher Shehe.
And then there's him, the womanizer who never rejects women and is always flirting.
And then there's the super-talented boy whose name hasn't been mentioned yet.
Fu Guan expressed his desire to be friends with him for the third time, and this time the extraordinary young man finally condescended to reach out his hand and let out a soft "hmm" from his nose.
He glanced sideways at Fu Guanzai and said, "My name is Qian Chang."
After the commotion subsided, Fu Guan returned to his original seat. As soon as he sat down, Jiang Xiaowan from the second-to-last row came over and sat next to him.
"Can I sit with you? I'm scared."
The emotions she expressed this time were much more genuine than her acting earlier.
Fu Guanzai: "..."
He had just seen Shi Jinzhe about to pass him a note, but then he got distracted and that was the end of it.
However, his character was a playboy who couldn't refuse women, so he could only nod and think to himself that this female player was quite quick to react.
There were five seats in the last row, but the middle seat was empty. Shi Jinzhe, sitting on the other side, saw him chatting with Jiang Xiaowan and looked a little depressed.
His character is very bad at communicating. He can barely pass notes to men, but not to women. When Jiang Xiaowan comes, he is surrounded by women and feels isolated.
With no other option, Shi Jinzhe had to think of another way.
The only sounds in the car were Fu Guan and Jiang Xiaowan talking in hushed tones, their voices low and soft.
The note he was originally going to give to Fu Guanzai was crumpled up and held in his hand, and he couldn't give it to him.
At that moment, his knee was bumped by Shekh.
Her character wore a black knee-length skirt. When she sat up, the skirt would reveal a bit of her knee. As the car moved, it was unclear whether it was intentional or unintentional, but she kept bumping into his knee.
The force was very light, yet very noticeable.
It's time for him to play the innocent, shy young man who accidentally drops a note.
When their knees collided again, the crumpled note was skillfully tossed over to Fu Guan, landing right at his feet.
Fu Guan was bending down when he noticed that the back seats weren't spacious enough, so he politely asked Jiang Xiaowan to stand up first before he went to get it.
In that position, he immediately opened the note and glanced at it as he picked it up.
[&, main 1 + main 2, 1, 4-0]
Fu Guan unfolded the note, and Shi Jinzhe's interpretation was pretty much what he had expected.
Whether it's a novel or a movie, there's always at least one main character who plays a leading role.
On this vehicle, the young and impulsive Qian Chang is one such character. He drives the plot with his brainless and reckless personality, occasionally showing signs of intellectual decline, and finally undergoing a growth and sublimation. This is a very common protagonist configuration in youth adventure dramas.
The other one, Shi Jinzhe guessed, should be a couple or a male-female pair.
The probability of him and Sheikh being together is high. Male student and female teacher, budding hormones and alluring mature woman, a forbidden love in a horror plot, this is a very common seasoning element, and also something that the audience loves to see.
Lin Shu and Huang Yingzong are currently acting normally, lacking the usual arguments or sweet moments between lovers in a drama, so the probability is low.
As for the possibility of Fu Guanzai and Jiang Xiaowan, it is also low.
Fu Guan had significantly more authority than the others just now, which means that his role was relatively minor, and he had more room to maneuver in areas not specifically depicted on camera.
This is also why Jiang Xiaowan sought him out. She was the one singled out from the list on the note, possibly a supporting female character or a role with a lot of independent scenes. She needed someone with fewer restrictions to help her adapt to changing circumstances and get out of crises.
Aside from those five, the other four who haven't appeared yet are definitely supporting characters who died early in the story. Since they died too early, Jiang Xiaowan doesn't need to look for them.
All things considered, Fu Guan is the best teammate.
"Ah... I'm so sorry."
Fu Guan pretended to accidentally tear off the first symbol, indicating his willingness to team up with Shi Jinzhe.
He returned the note to Shi Jinzhe, apologizing as he did so.
Jiang Xiaowan glanced at the screen while fixing her hair and only saw a few numbers.
His eyes subtly darted left and right, realizing that the people on both sides knew each other.
She pinched her earlobe hard, her ears turning red, and sat back down to continue talking with Fu Guan, like a true innocent flower.
