Zhuang Yan accepted Xia Wan's suggestion. After that night, a psychologist contacted Zhuang Yan and he actively cooperated with the treatment. It was as if a group of kind people suddenly appeared in the school, surrounding him and caring about his physical condition.
Counselor, school doctor, roommate...
These same people all spoke up for him when he was later subjected to online bullying led by the Xia family.
With the help of a psychologist, his condition gradually improved, and he forgot some of the things that had caused him pain. When he tried to open the tree hole again to share updates, he found that the software was gone.
There were so many social media apps back then. If one "tree hole" disappeared, there were others. Besides, the "tree hole" app was a niche app, so if it was gone, it was really gone.
Zhuang Yan looked at the private messages Lu Yan had sent him, those messages he hadn't read.
She encouraged him to live a positive life and to learn to love himself. She praised his efforts and his character. She said he was amazing and that she had liked him for a long time, not that no one else loved him.
If the tree hole hadn't malfunctioned and disappeared back then, and he had seen these private messages, could his relationship with Lu Yan have started earlier?
"Did you find the psychologist for me?"
"It's me."
"Did the school doctor take care of me?"
"It was also arranged by me."
...
It turns out that Lu Yan had already unknowingly infiltrated his life and was working silently behind the scenes to save him.
“Ayan, I only understand today that it was because you gave me love first that I learned to love you. My only regret is that I wasn’t by your side when you needed someone to love you the most.”
"But if it weren't for your comment, I would have died long ago."
Zhuang Yan couldn't help but wonder, what about Lu Yan from her previous life?
Did she time travel or swap places? Did she like him? Was she not married because that was her life plan, or because of him?
Zhuang Yan's words are impossible to verify, but that is in the past, and the unfortunate past has given way to a complete and happy life.
People shouldn't be trapped in painful memories; since God has given us a second chance, He wants us to turn the page.
The variety show's final episode aired on Chinese New Year's Day.
Lu Yan took Zhuang Yan to the cemetery, bought flowers and offerings to visit her mother.
The woman in the photo has a serene smile on her face. Zhuang Yan lights the incense and candles and arranges the offerings.
Lu Yan's mother doesn't like drinking alcohol, so what's placed in front of her is a bottle of yogurt along with a small cake made by Zhuang Yan himself.
"Mom, I've come to see you, and I've brought your future son-in-law along too." Lu Yan looks a lot like her mother, especially when she smiles.
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Yan obediently knelt on the ground, burning paper money as he said, "Hello Aunt Lin, I am Zhuang Yan, Zhuang as in Zhuangzi and Yan as in language. I love Lu Yan. I hereby swear that I will be good to Lu Yan for the rest of my life, love her for the rest of my life, and will never betray her. I will cherish every minute and second I spend with her."
Lu Yan, who was standing nearby, chuckled and said, "You're making it sound like you're proposing."
"I'm telling Aunt Lin that I'd like to ask if I can propose to you."
"Do I need to ask my mom about proposing?"
"Yes, I asked her if she felt comfortable entrusting her precious daughter to me."
What kind of proposal scene are you planning?
"Surprises shouldn't be revealed to you beforehand," Zhuang Yan asked. "Is there anything you particularly want?"
"I've already gotten what I wanted most." Lu Yan thought seriously for a moment and said, "As long as the groom is you, everything else is secondary."
The two discussed their engagement ceremony in front of the tombstone, including the number of invitations and who they needed to invite.
As she spoke, Lu Yan knelt on the ground, her voice filled with utmost sincerity: "Mom, I had originally planned to grow old alone, but it wasn't until I met Zhuang Yan that I thought about settling down. If one day I get tired of him..."
Zhuang Yan picked up where she left off, saying, "Then I'll love you in a different way."
Their lives, which were originally devoid of desire, became filled with each other's greed because of the other's appearance.
Nothing could be more appropriate.
The cigarette burned quickly, and the paper money on the ground turned to ashes. Zhuang Yan asked Lu Yan, "Did Aunt Lin agree?"
"She agreed, and she told you to call her 'Mom' next time you come."
The engagement banquet was set for Valentine's Day on February 14th, which was five days later, and Zhuang Yan had been making preparations.
Jiang Ning has already gone abroad and cannot attend the engagement banquet. She said that she could arrange to return to China in advance for Zhuang Yan and Lu Yan's wedding, but they must notify her in advance.
Upon hearing that Zhuang Yan and Lu Yan were getting engaged, the director shamelessly asked for an invitation, intending to go and witness the event live.
Their variety show is completely unscripted, and the couples are all real couples, the kind who could get married.
People online didn't hear any rumors, and the variety show's popularity remained high even after the main episode ended.
Zhuang Yan's fireworks and Lu Yan's snow scene both trended on social media and became memorable moments from the variety show, with discussions revolving around who prepared the more romantic event.
Xia Wan saw it too.
Besides their romance, Xia Wan's ridiculousness also made headlines.
In every video filled with happiness, someone would tag her in the comments, asking if she had any regrets.
Xia Wan's actions, including accidentally stumbling into a live broadcast of a TV program and later eating noodles, have been described by netizens as clown-like.
Everyone thought she was just trying to ride the wave of popularity and would start live-streaming to sell goods, but no one has heard anything since before the Lunar New Year.
Instead, a caregiver claiming to be Xia Qingshan started a live stream.
Under the male caregiver's live stream, Xia Qingshan was seen drooling with a crooked mouth, defecating and urinating on the bed. The male caregiver would also deliberately lift Xia Qingshan's blanket to show netizens his thin, bony body.
The comments section was filled with people who felt sorry for the characters and others who found it hilarious; in short, everyone who came in was a spectator looking for a good show.
Caregivers made a lot of money by exploiting this.
"Here's a sports car for you guys to see, a former business tycoon."
"Want to see Xia Qingshan's diapers? Send a gift first."
"Cheer on live stream of changing clothes."
In his lens, Xia Qingshan becomes a tool to be manipulated by others, which not only satisfies the curiosity of some viewers, but also gives some people who hate the rich a sense of satisfaction.
Driven by a desire to make money, they have no bottom line or morals, exposing their employers' privacy and going further and further as netizens incite and encourage them.
The number of viewers in the live stream increased, and he earned two or three years' salary in just one week. No wonder more and more people are doing live streaming now.
Xia Wan didn't want to do the work that was given to her for free, so she asked him to do it.
He would also answer questions about Xia Wan, such as how miserable Xia Wan is now, that she has no job, that she secretly watches Zhuang Yan's videos at home, and that she regrets it so much that she cries.
In order to better control Xia Qingshan, the caregiver would give Xia Qingshan sleeping pills before each live broadcast. Xia Qingshan was unaware of this, and Xia Wan, who was out looking for a job, was even less aware of it.
It wasn't until An Xinrong saw the live stream that she told Xia Wan about it.
Upon hearing the news, Xia Wan rushed back and happened to run into the caregiver who was live-streaming. Without saying a word, she smashed his phone.
