Burning Text
Wang Feng knocked on the glass and said, "I think it should be difficult to break. It seems to be tempered glass."
Barrages of comments drifted across the live broadcast room:
"Don't keep me in suspense! I really want to see what's inside."
"It must be all the works of Chi Chi and Tian Ya. We could have predicted this when the door opened."
"It's so complicated, it's just a trick."
"Chi Chi is a weird person who likes to pretend."
…
Xu Xiangxiao looked at Jiang Xinhai helplessly. Jiang Xinhai said sourly, "Click and give it a try."
There seems to be no other way except to click it.
She tapped "yes" lightly with her hand.
New text appeared on the screen again:
【You need to answer the following questions in order based on your understanding of Mr. JX. 】
You have one chance to make a mistake, but only one.
[If you answer incorrectly, the museum will enter a dormant state. Please leave in an orderly manner and wait for the next opportunity to try.]
You have the opportunity to call for off-site assistance, but you may not get the correct answer.
After these words slowly emerged, new words appeared on the screen.
[Question 1: If the ultimate pursuit in life is one of the following options, which one do you think it should be for Mr. JX?]
a. Money
【b.Opposite sex】
【c. Pretend to be cool】
“…”
After reading the question, everyone was speechless.
Xu Xiangxiao waited for a long time, but the fourth option didn't come out. Then he realized that there were only these three options.
"Ah? Don't you have any ideals or anything like that?" Xu Xiangxiao asked in surprise, "Why these three?"
Jiang Xinhai covered his face with his hands: "He probably didn't expect that this question would be broadcast live nationwide..."
Now, Xinhai is very sure that the so-called Mr. JX is Chen Ya.
That's totally his style.
His fatal first question made him look disgraceful in front of the national audience. Jiang Xinhai almost dug his toes through the floor for Chen Ya.
"Choose b, opposite sex," Jiang Xinhai whispered. She wanted to get over this question quickly. "The answer to this question is b."
Xu Xiangxiao was a little surprised: "Ah? Is it the opposite sex?"
Qin Yunchu was speechless for a long time before nodding and saying, "Yes. It's the opposite sex."
The two of them already knew Chen Ya quite well.
What else can a guy who can create a "sheltered group for heartbroken boys" pursue?
Xu Xiangxiao hesitated for a while and chose b.
As a result, the screen turned red.
【Wrong answer! You have one more chance to answer.】
"How could it be?!" Jiang Xinhai shouted, "It's not the opposite sex, could it be money? Well, he's not short of money anymore..."
Xu Xiangxiao looked at her and said, "Xinhai, I think it should be C."
"Why?"
Xu Xiangxiao did not answer, but directly clicked option c.
Sure enough, the screen turned green.
【Correct answer! 】
Jiang Xinhai's face fell.
The correct answer is actually "pretending to be cool".
Yan Yunzhuo burst out laughing.
"Chi Chi is just like what's said online, a pretentious criminal."
Her look of disgust, as if saying "so unfashionable", resonated with the audience in the live broadcast room.
"Before, I acted like I had some lofty ambitions, but in the end, all I wanted in life was to show off..."
"Should we say he is genuine, or is he just a villain who has succeeded?"
"Honestly, this private collection is quite pretentious. It would be better to use the money to improve the lives of the poor."
…
Xu Xiangxiao explained: "No, there was a time when Tianya and I were drinking juice together, and I asked him..."
After seeing the expression on Jiang Xinhai's face, she quickly explained:
"Because I need to protect my voice, we usually don't drink alcohol. We drink juice together after the performance, and later it became a regular program..."
After the explanation, Jiang Xinhai felt that it would be worse if he hadn't explained anything at all.
Xu Xiangxiao blushed and continued:
“I asked him what the purpose of making music was.
"He said that it was initially out of passion, and when he became too passionate about it, he could make some money from his hobby.
“I asked again, what happens after you make money?
"He said, use the money to give back to music and make the music that he wants to make most."
"And then what? What if I've finished all the music I wanted to make?"
"Then all that's left is pretending."
"Pretending?"
"Pretentiousness is a life attitude," Chen Ya said. "It's hard for humans to understand each other, don't you understand?"
"Ah?" Xu Xiangxiao felt that he was speaking out of turn.
"No matter how good your music is, to someone without artistic talent, all music is just gongs and drums. You say you're creating art, but he says you should save it for funerals. He'll never understand people like us, understand?"
"Uh..." Xu Xiangxiao found it hard to believe that there really was such a person.
But it is true that people often say that she cannot pronounce the lyrics clearly when singing, and even many media outlets say so.
So she could understand what Chen Ya meant.
"So, at this time, you have to pretend to be cool," Chen Ya said, "When facing that kind of person, he can't understand the beauty of the music itself, but he can understand how much money you make. If you drive up to him in a Maybach, he will be respectful to you, even if he doesn't like your music at all.
“He can understand that your music is on the charts and that people next door who are much richer than him like your songs.
"The language of art can't move people, but pretense can. Do you understand what I mean?"
