In order to avoid this feeling, he chose to stay away from her.
Looking back now, that feeling of heartache...is this what they call love at first sight?
Was it just that the feeling was so strange that he mistakenly thought there was something wrong with his body?
Gu Qingze didn't understand, but was deeply shocked. However, he understood that this was all arranged in the original plot, and he didn't really fall in love with Yan Yuewan at first sight.
After all, in that world, he is just a character following a script.
Although the drama ended smoothly in the end, after it was broadcast, the second female lead Yan Yuewan became an instant hit. With her outstanding performance, she quickly became a first-line female star and became the focus of everyone's attention.
As for Gu Qingze, after those brief encounters with her, he never had any contact with her again.
They seemed like two parallel lines, each moving forward on its own track, with no intersection anymore.
After a while, Gu Qingze encountered many setbacks in the entertainment industry, and he gradually realized that he might not be suitable to be an actor.
So he made a decision to step back behind the scenes, joined a short drama company, and started working on scriptwriting.
But...Gu Qingze's thoughts went back to the past. He remembered the strong desire he suddenly had to be an actor. That yearning drove him to give up choosing a more stable profession and job.
Looking back now, was that also controlled by the plot?
Maybe...he didn't really like acting at all, but was just influenced by the plot and was pulled by that inexplicable force to embark on the path of an actor.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, as an orphan with no one to rely on, in order to live a better life, he should choose a safe major and find a stable job after graduation, rather than choosing the acting industry which is full of uncertainty.
So, did he apply to a drama university and become an actor simply because the original plot required a role like him to develop that plot with the heroine?
He felt as if he was being controlled by an invisible hand, step by step entering the role set for him.
He also remembered the surprised looks of his classmates and the teacher's hesitation when he expressed his ideal.
The teacher finally asked him to think about it more. Maybe the teacher had already seen something at that time, but just didn't say it clearly...
Thinking about it now, it all seemed like a script that had been arranged long ago, and he was just one of the characters, interpreting his life according to the settings of the script.
Feng Ying continued, "That's right, you didn't follow the original plot at the time. When I found out about this, I was indeed a little surprised."
"A character like you, who serves as cannon fodder in the original plot, is usually unlikely to awaken his consciousness and deviate from the original plot."
"That scene in particular is one of the key plots in the whole story."
"But the facts prove to me that such exceptions do exist. In that key plot, you did not overly contact the heroine as the established trajectory did, and thus unfold the subsequent plot."
"Your behavior completely exceeded my expectations and made me re-evaluate your potential."
Gu Qingze looked at Feng Ying, as if wanting some kind of confirmation from him: "Feng Ying, are you sure? It was only that part of the plot that deviated from the original plan. The rest... were they all my personal choices, or were they also influenced by the plot?"
Feng Ying shook his head, a hint of helplessness in his tone: "I really don't know about that. The influence of the plot is often subtle. It may change your choice without you realizing it."
"As for your personal choice, whether it's entirely your own opinion, no one can say for sure."
He paused, then continued, "However, there is one thing I can be sure of, and that is that you have now left your original world."
"In this new world, you should no longer be affected by that plot. Therefore, your choices and decisions from now on will be entirely of your own will."
Gu Qingze gradually calmed down after hearing this. It wasn't that he completely disliked acting. Even though there was no such profession as actor in this world, he would still play some small games with Ling Xiao to practice his acting skills, enjoying the feeling of being immersed in the role.
Seeing this, Feng Ying continued, "Although I'm not quite sure about what you just asked, I accidentally found something interesting when I was looking for relevant information about you."
"It's about your parents, and I thought you might be interested. It's entirely up to you whether you want to listen to it or not."
When Gu Qingze heard the word "parents", he felt mixed emotions.
He grew up in an orphanage and felt extremely unfamiliar with his parents' appearance, voice, and even the concept of "parents".
This word sounded distant and unfamiliar to him, as if it were a voice coming from another world.
He was silent for a long time, his thoughts churning in his mind. Finally, he nodded and decided to listen to Feng Ying and learn some things about his biological parents.
He wanted to know why they had abandoned him—was it out of necessity, or was there something else going on? Or perhaps they simply didn't want him anymore?
Feng Ying touched his finger lightly, and his system interface instantly turned into a large screen covered with dense information, like stars.
"This is exactly why I think you're different," Feng Ying said slowly. "Normally, even cannon fodder characters will have a corresponding background once the world is formed. In short, they will have parents. But you are an exception."
