Chapter 90: Crazy 90th Day Game Over
Chapter 90
The shock wave of the explosion generated tremendous force, not only shattering the solid cement, but also completely ejecting Tan Mo.
Bang!
It hurts so much, I feel like my spine is going to break.
Tan Mo opened her eyes and took a few seconds to adjust before she realized that the clear morning light was shining through the curtains, outlining the vague shapes of everything in the room.
This is her rental house.
But not the luxurious rental house in the book.
Tan Mo sighed deeply in her heart, feeling a little lost.
She had traveled back in time, just as she was blown out of the window by a bomb.
And it has been more than ten days since she returned from the world in the book.
But in the past ten days, I dreamed of the final scene every day, and I fell off the bed to the floor out of excitement.
Tan Mo's gaze was always fixed on the black and yellow mushroom-shaped flames that gushed out like magma.
The flames were enough to burn and carbonize all living things, so much so that Tan Mo felt her soul was burning and scorching.
The pain in her back reminded Tan Mo back to reality. She climbed back onto the bed, lay flat on her back, and rubbed her lower back with her right hand.
My thoughts unconsciously returned to the world of the book.
With such a strong explosion and such scorching flames, what will happen to Lu Xingjian and the others?
At the moment of the explosion, was Lu Xingjian about to say something to her? Tan Mo wasn't sure, because the huge explosion that followed drowned out all other sounds.
Tan Mo only saw him open his mouth.
He must have something to say.
What exactly does he want to say to himself?
Tan Mo closed her eyes and tried hard to recall, and she held her breath unconsciously.
After a long time, she was like a drowning person rescued back to the shore, breathing deeply.
She still didn't know what Lu Xingjian wanted to say to her.
She may never know in this lifetime.
When I think of this, my heart starts to ache which cannot be ignored.
This kind of cramping pain is very familiar. Tan Mo also felt it so strongly when her parents passed away.
But she couldn't cry and her face remained calm.
In order to make herself feel better, Tan Mo changed from lying flat on her stomach to lying flat on her back. When she turned over, she saw that the black laptop on the desk in front of the bed was emitting a faint blue light from time to time.
Tan Mo rolled over and got up and sat in front of the computer.
As soon as my finger touched the mouse, the dark blue interface immediately turned white, the screen shone with dazzling light, and my eyes were irritated to the point that tears flowed from the corners of my eyes.
The screen displayed the original text of "One Fetus, Seven Treasures: Lord Xiao, Please Be Gentle on Your Cruelty", and Tan Mo kept lingering on the scene where Xiang Nuan was kidnapped.
But the details are different.
In the book, Mo Zhengshan kidnapped Xiang Nuan and the vicious second female villain who liked Qin Xiao. He asked Qin Xiao to choose between saving the female protagonist or the second female protagonist. Qin Xiao saved everyone with the halo of the protagonist. When he was about to kill Mo Zhengshan, Mo Zhengshan finally ignited the explosives, trying to die with Qin Xiao.
Tan Mo clicked on the comment:
"So sad. Why didn't the hero choose to save the heroine? She was such a weak woman and was also scared."
"I'm crying my eyes out. Xiang Nuan must have been heartbroken when she heard Qin Xiao say to save the second female lead."
"This is such a lousy male lead! Qin Xiao is the most disgusting male lead I've ever seen this year."
"Boiled meatball, you're here just to disgust the readers, right? I hope you get hit by a car when you go out. No thanks."
"So did Mo Zhengshan kill Qin Xiao with explosives? Guys, if he didn't, I won't read on. Woohoo, my weak heart can't handle it."
"Boiled meatballs, do you want to see what kind of crap you wrote? My dog can write a few words that are better than yours."
"Give me back! This is a rip-off! Give me back!"
"Qin Xiao, die quickly, die quickly, Xiang Nuan too, die for me, you scumbag and bitch!"
"Upstairs 1, the male and female protagonists died together! It made me sick to my stomach."
"Sisters, is there anyone who crowdfunded to have the hero and heroine die together? If so, deduct 1."
“1”
“1”
“1”
...766 replies in total.
Tan Mo clicked on it and saw that all 766 replies were for the hero and heroine to die.
So many people wanted them dead.
Tan Mo was feeling a little depressed, not because of what she saw, but because she felt uncomfortable when she thought that her friends were also at the explosion site.
Although she had watched these comments and clips countless times after she came back into the world, Tan Mo still mechanically forced herself to refresh and watch them again and again.
Her eyes stung slightly, and she couldn't stop at all.
As soon as she stopped, her mind couldn't help but wander into thoughts about her friends and what would happen to Lu Xingjian.
She right-clicked the mouse and refreshed the page again, ready to watch it again.
This time there is new news reminder.
"Shuizhuwanzi's latest novel has been discontinued. He said he was in a bad state and couldn't continue. Sure enough, writing this kind of revenge novel must have paid off."
"Thanks, sister. I don't have to send the razor blades then."
"Have you been scolded so much that you don't dare to write anymore?"
"Isn't that perfect? The sisters in the comment section should teach her how to be an author and a human being. With the kind of plots she writes, she's pretty mean to women in her daily life."
Tan Mo was about to click on the comments below when the phone next to the bed suddenly rang.
Tan Mo paused, hesitated for a moment, climbed onto the bed, picked up the phone, and it was a call from her friend Gan Tian.
She pressed the call button, and a sweet, crisp, and energetic voice came out: "Tan Mo, today is Saturday. Let's go walk by the river, take some photos, and drink some coffee, okay?"
Tan Mo thought for a while and said, "Okay."
Gan Tian asked curiously, "What's wrong with you? You sound depressed. Do you have a cold?"
"without."
"Well, wait until I take you out for some fun. You're the type who does great things quietly. I haven't seen you for a few days during the May Day holiday, and you're going to resign as soon as you come back. I have a lot to ask you." Gan Tian said with a smile, "Let's not talk for now. I want to pick out some beautiful clothes and dress up beautifully to make you look stunning. Let's talk when we meet."
Gan Tian was like a gust of wind and rain, and hung up the phone in less than a minute.
Tan Mo was already accustomed to her way of doing things. After throwing her phone on the bed, she lay down limply again.
She hasn't left the rental house for many days. She used to enjoy staying at home like this, but Tan Mo knows that with her current stubborn state, she must go out for a walk.
Otherwise, you will die in front of the computer sooner or later.
The sweet invitation was like a strong arm, trying to pull Tan Mo out of the quagmire, but it seemed to be unsuccessful.
Tan Mo arrived at the coffee shop earlier than Gan Tian. As soon as she sat down, she couldn't wait to search for the Weibo of Mrs. Boiled Meatballs on Weibo.
This is the only vague connection between her and Lu Xingjian and her group of friends in the book.
As soon as I typed the words "boiled meatballs" in the search bar, all kinds of abusive words followed the name.
Tan Mo ignored everything and went straight to her personal Weibo account and clicked to follow.
The first piece of information that caught my eye was what netizens called Mrs. Shuizhu Wanzi’s statement of suspension of updates. Due to her health reasons, new articles were temporarily suspended.
Tan Mo accidentally clicked on the comments section, and was filled with abhorrent insults. Readers vented their frustrations about the book on the author's personal blog. Only a few comments wished the author good health.
"What are you looking at? So serious!" A sweet voice suddenly sounded from behind Tan Mo.
Tan Mo, who was concentrating on her work, was startled and her phone accidentally dropped to the ground.
"What on earth is on that phone that's got you so obsessed?" Gan Tian helped her pick up the phone and glanced at the screen. "Shuizhuwanzi's Weibo?"
"Who is this?"
"A romance writer." said Tan Mo.
Seeing Gan Tian, Tan Mo felt a little better. They were college classmates, both studying early childhood education.
Just as she was about to mention the time when the two of them used to huddle together in the dormitory in winter, reading novels, she heard Gan Tian casually say, "Why are you still reading this kind of stuff?"
“After work, I don’t even watch it anymore.”
Tan Mo: "What's wrong? Are you too busy with work?"
"Yes and no. I just think that reading too many romance novels will make your brain stupid. They're only for elementary school students. I'm working now, so it's different."
Tan Mo's heart skipped a beat; she knew this was a very arbitrary and prejudiced idea. Many novels were indeed quite naive, like some of the works by Mrs. Shuizhu Wanzi, but there were also some romance novels that vividly portrayed love, hate, passion, and wild fantasies.
"Men in novels are all incredibly rich, either from wealthy families or the richest men. Even those who don't have much money are madly in love with the heroines. There are no such good men in real life. If you really follow the standards of the male protagonists in novels, will you ever get married in this lifetime?" Gan Tian chuckled, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go to the boutique street next door to buy clothes."
Gan Tian pulled Tan Mo out of the coffee shop and turned the corner. "Mo, have you been waiting for me for a long time?"
She complained sweetly, "If Su Jie hadn't been so slow, I wouldn't be late. Can you forgive me?"
Su Jie is Gan Tian’s boyfriend. They met through a blind date and both of them were in a relationship with the intention of getting married.
Tan Mo and Gan Tian moved into the first women's clothing store.
Gan Tian quickly picked out a few clothes and went to the fitting room. Tan Mo was not in the mood to buy clothes, so she sat outside waiting for her.
"By the way, Tan Mo." Gan Tian said while changing clothes, "Why did you resign?"
They worked in the same kindergarten and often complained about their boss and work, but it was just talk. With such a state-owned enterprise, anyone who resigned would be a fool.
Tan Mo: "If you want to quit, just quit. I don't like being a kindergarten teacher."
When I studied this major, I didn't understand it in detail. I chose it because my relatives and friends said that this job was good for girls.
But once it really happened, Tan Mo hated it deeply.
"Have you decided what to do in the future?"
Tan Mo looked at the scenery by the window with a blank look in her eyes. "I don't know."
"So you've been lying in the rental house these days?"
"Um."
Suddenly, a voice that didn't belong to either of them interrupted, "What if you can't find a job then, and your good position is gone? What will you do if you regret it?"
Tan Mo looked up in surprise, only to see a girl coming out of another fitting room.
Gan Tian lifted the curtain on her side and looked over. "Li Meng? Why are you here?"
"There are only a few places to buy clothes. If you can come here, why can't I?" Li Meng changed into her new clothes, looked in the mirror, glanced at Tan Mo, and said, "I keep changing jobs, and there's no stability. Maybe in the end, I won't be as good as a preschool teacher."
Li Meng, like Tan Mo, was a new intern at the kindergarten this year. Li Meng was incredibly competitive, and initially assumed that Tan Mo, like herself, was a driven, hard-working woman striving for advancement, striving for management and thus often creating obstacles at work.
Who would have thought that Tan Mo is just a lazy office worker.
I also didn't expect that she would resign.
Gan Tian said unhappily, "Stop cursing others. Don't think we don't know. Director Wang values Tan Mo the most. You won't be happy once she's gone."
This is also one of the reasons why Li Meng thinks Tan Mo is her competitor.
She was obviously the one who worked the hardest, but Director Wang was most optimistic about Tan Mo.
Li Meng looked at Tan Mo and saw her smile softly. Li Meng frowned and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Tan Mo shook her head.
She just felt that the scene was familiar.
The villain speaks ill of the heroine in the toilet or tea room, and the heroine hears it. This plot, which is criticized by readers as cliché, actually happens in real life.
The argument ended in a bad mood.
Tan Mo accompanied Gan Tian to buy two sets of clothes. During the shopping process, Gan Tian chatted with Tan Mo intermittently, and then chatted with her boyfriend on the phone.
It was almost dinner time, and Tan Mo was about to ask her where to go for dinner, which was her and Gan Tian's usual dating routine.
Gan Tian said apologetically, "Next time, my boyfriend bought some crabs and said he would cook them for me..."
Tan Mo felt uncomfortable, but still said goodbye to Gan Tian with understanding.
This is how life is. The further you go, the fewer people you will have with you.
But Tan Mo felt that if she was still in the book, she would not encounter this situation.
Xu Xiaonian, Jiang Qingya, Jin Yuan, and Lin Yu would not abandon her to find their own boyfriends.
Thinking of this, Tan Mo smiled knowingly, but soon she could feel that throbbing pain taking hold of her again, even on a crowded bus.
The bus stopped and started, passing a large supermarket.
Tan Mo suddenly remembered that when they were kicked out of the house by Nangong Xiong and started their own business, Nangong Lie often took them to various supermarkets to get bargains.
By the way, most of her meals after she transmigrated into the book were not takeouts, but were either cooked by Chef Gao or Li Xingjian.
After she returned to the real world, she had takeout for every meal.
At this moment, Tan Mo was already impatient to get off the car and go to the supermarket to buy some fresh ingredients.
Thinking of this, when the bus stopped again, Tan Mo squeezed through the crowd and got off the bus.
What should I cook for dinner?
Braised beef with carrots!
The carrots in this dish cooked by Lu Xingjian are soft and have a light sweetness, which tastes better than Li Tou’s beef.
"Let's cook more carrots this time, Assistant Lu." Tan Mo said subconsciously, smiling sideways.
As soon as she finished speaking, she froze in place.
Her eyes stiffly turned to the side, where a middle-aged woman was picking white radishes. She was looking at Tan Mo with a strange expression, as if to say, "Who are you talking to? Are you crazy?"
Tan Mo lowered her head in embarrassment, picked a few carrots in a panic, and ran away.
