Chapter 181 The so-called "finishing the story" comes at such a tragic price
The early morning sunlight filtered through the gauze curtains, casting soft spots of light on the carpet.
Wen Duo almost didn't sleep all night. There was a faint dark blue in his eyes. He sat side by side with Jiang Zuiyue on the small sofa in the bedroom, staring at the empty air, his heart beating slightly faster due to nervousness.
Just when she was about to lose control of her anxiety, a few lines of familiar floating subtitles finally appeared in her field of vision slowly and sporadically, like squeezing toothpaste.
: [Ahhhhhh, it’s finally open! It’s finally open!]
: [It’s not easy, I’ve been waiting for more than a week! ]
: [Wow, I can't even watch the hero and heroine go on vacation. Wow, I feel like I've lost a billion! ]
Wen Duo's heart suddenly tightened. Here it comes!
More barrages of comments began to emerge, flooding her vision like a tide.
: [Hey, they went on vacation, why do they look unhappy? ]
: [Yeah, especially the male lead, he looks so weak, he has no motivation to attend the meeting]
: [Hiss, I hope my sister won’t drain me dry, hahahahahahahahaha]
: [No, I see he's pale, and there's a faint trace of gauze on his body. It seems like he's... injured?]
: [Huh? Didn't you go on vacation? How did you get injured?]
: [I don't know, I don't understand. We haven't seen them since they went on vacation until now.]
: [Exactly! I almost quit, but luckily I saw the announcement of the show starting, so I came back hahahahahahaha]
: [Tsk, this is a broadcast accident, right? If this drama wasn't so popular, I wouldn't have continued to follow it. I surrender.]
: [I guess he must have been holding it in for a long time. I’m really looking forward to the next plot.]
Wen Duo's fingertips dug deep into her palms, and her pearly teeth bit her lower lip lightly.
These frivolous, no-nonsense words pierced her heart like needles.
The life-and-death crisis they experienced at sea and the deep injuries Ji Huai suffered were nothing more than an absent and complain-worthy "broadcast accident" in their eyes, and even became a prelude to the anticipation of a "bigger" plot.
She, Ji Huaishen, and even Chen Yuwei are just actors for people's entertainment, and all their joys and sorrows are just part of the show.
No, they are not alike.
They are.
A cold despair almost overwhelmed her, but thinking of the plan she had agreed with Jiang Zuiyue last night, she forced herself to suppress her surging emotions, took a deep breath, turned to look at her best friend beside her, and nodded slightly.
Jiang Zuiyue received the signal and immediately picked up a novel that he had prepared long ago. He flipped through the pages loudly and exclaimed in an exaggerated tone:
"Duoduo, I want to solemnly introduce this novel to you. You must read it. The plot is so ups and downs, it's really torturous!"
As she spoke, she nudged Wendo with her elbow seemingly unintentionally, blinked her eyes, and tried to make her tone sound like pure curiosity:
"Hey, come to think of it, your experience is just like the heroine in a novel, bizarre and exciting! If you were also a character in a novel, what would your experience be like until the end?"
Wen Duo lowered her eyelashes in cooperation, her voice soft, with a hint of imperceptible longing and trembling:
"I don't know... maybe... it will be peace, stability, and eternal happiness."
This was the humblest and strongest desire in her heart.
However, the reaction from the barrage instantly shattered her fantasy.
: [Miss Duo, your storyline is quite dramatic~]
: [Hey, now that the plot has become like this, will the subsequent plot still be staged? ]
: [Only the heroine has changed a little, the others are basically unchanged, such as the villain Lin Ya]
: [Yeah, so what's the next plot? ]
: [Let me think about it, it seems like the heroine is still in her senior year of college, going to school, and suffering from bullying, rape, and so on. In addition to these, there is also amnesia, and she ran away and was caught and imprisoned by the hero. And... there was even a time when the hero wanted to end it all, committing suicide, or killing the hero. It was so exciting!]
:【Wow, I'm already looking forward to it! 】
: [+1+1! ! ! ]
: [It sounds so cruel, where is the ending? ]
: [Yeah, the ending is that the hero sees that the heroine is really not happy with him, so he finally agrees to divorce. After Meibao leaves, she experiences a kidnapping. The hero uses his life to exchange for hers, and finally jumps off a cliff. Only then does she realize how much he loves her, and the two of them finally put aside their past grudges and get together.]
: [Hiss, he can survive after jumping? He truly deserves to be called the son of luck.]
: [But they were also quite miserable. After such an incident, both of them came back with sequelae. Meibao can't dance ballet because of her broken leg, and the male protagonist suffered a comminuted fracture in his right hand when he jumped off the cliff. Although he survived, he trembles when he exerts force and can't pick up a pen...]
: [Oh, it can't be helped. After all, he's been through so much, and he doesn't have any sequelae. He must be superhuman, right?]
: [Yes, and every time I see the wound, I can think of the other person risking their life for me. How romantic~]
Wen Duo's face gradually turned pale as the spoilers in the barrage appeared, and all the blood color faded away.
Her body trembled uncontrollably, and her stomach felt nauseous.
Bullying, attempted rape, imprisonment, suicide, cliff jumping, disability...
These cold words transformed into the most terrifying images that flashed wildly in her mind.
That's not a plot, that's the extremely tragic life that she and the people she cares about will actually experience in the future!
Ji Huaishen was such a proud person, but her right hand was broken... She could no longer dance ballet...
The immense fear and despair gripped her throat like an icy hand, almost suffocating her.
She suddenly covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming or retching. Her eyes instantly turned red and filled with physiological tears.
After all that's happened, with all the aftermath, they call it... romance?
She would rather not have this kind of romance!
Jiang Zuiyue understood that Wen Duo must have seen something. She reacted very quickly and immediately stepped forward to support the shaky Wen Duo, cleverly covering up:
"Baby! What's wrong with you? You look so ugly! Are you still feeling sick from eating something bad last night? Come on, let me help you go to the bathroom!"
Wen Duo used all her strength to stand up, but her legs were weak and she was almost entirely supported by Jiang Zuiyue.
She nodded with difficulty, her voice as thin as a mosquito, trembling violently:
"good......."
She let Jiang Zuiyue half-support and half-carry her towards the bathroom, while the barrage in front of her was still happily discussing those "torture points" and "expectations".
Every word was like a poisoned knife, piercing her body to pieces.
The bathroom door closed behind him, isolating him from the world outside that was being peeped into by the "plot".
Wen Duo finally couldn't hold on any longer and slid down onto the cold floor tiles. Tears flowed out silently like beads that had broken off the string.
It turns out that the so-called "completing the plot" comes at such a tragic price.
But can she really afford it?
