Chapter 49 Chapter 49 Summer Fantasy
By the stream, Jiang Yuxia neatly cut open the fish with a knife, removed the internal organs, and cut off a piece directly. He put the piece into his mouth with an expressionless face, one piece after another, and finally licked the remaining blood on the knife.
The camera turned, and the world seemed to have changed. Yellow earth filled the sky, and various aircraft were circling in the sky. The falling shells turned almost all the buildings into ruins. The world he depended on for survival became a ruin. He ran among the rocks, hoping to return home quickly.
But it was all a delusion. With a loud bang, his home was reduced to ruins before his eyes.
He watched all this numbly, searching for something useful among the ruins. He curled up in a corner and continued to live in the desolation.
But they didn't let him go.
They chased him in aircraft, and he had no ability to protect himself in front of the huge aircraft. They tortured him bit by bit, as if they were playing a "slaughter" game.
After a burst of smoke, he reappeared in front of the camera, blood flowing down his forehead, looking particularly glaring in the yellow tone. He glanced down, and the hand that could originally hold a knife to protect himself was left with only an empty sleeve.
He slowly raised his head, his eyes quietly looking at the people in front of the camera, filled with reluctance, fear, hatred and numbness.
At this time, the shadow of an orange cat with missing front limbs slowly emerged, and its two eyes slowly overlapped.
The music quieted down and slowly faded out, revealing two lines of black and white text: "The world is not just for humans."
"Please stop hurting."
[Jiang Yuxia's eyes really shocked me.]
So the knife represents the cat's claws, the giant aircraft represents humans, and the shells represent human harm, or rather, the cat abuse incident from before. Holy shit, I'm getting goosebumps.
This setting is fantastic, and the anthropomorphism makes it so intuitive. If I put myself in their shoes, I'd feel truly wronged. I didn't provoke them, yet they attacked me for no apparent reason. I'm also truly powerless. How can I fight them with my fists and flying machines? Even small animals are no match for humans.
[Ahhh! I love this look so much, tears are coming down my cheeks!]
[When the two pairs of eyes met, I was stunned for a moment.]
[Thinking of the video that went viral recently, what a bunch of perverts.]
[This was the first time I experienced what it meant to explode in silence. The director used very quiet shots at the end, and the only thing that exploded was Jiang Yuxia's eyes. Director Zhao is really good, and Jiang Yuxia is also amazing!]
[Wow, so the kitten in the photo with Xia Xia really had its legs mutilated?]
[The end credits show footage of filming a kitten. It also shows the filming taking place at a shelter. The shelter's address, hotline, and donation channels are included. You can check it out.]
【I want to be a volunteer! 】
【The Earth doesn’t belong to humans alone! Please stop harming it!】
【The Earth does not belong to humans alone, please stop harming it! 】
…
By the time Sun Quan discovered this, the number of posts about this video on the super topic had exceeded a thousand. He frowned and wondered what was going on with the publicity and promotion team.
He didn't even bother to make a phone call. He first went to Jiang Yuxia's Weibo to share the video and watched it at the same time.
"Wow," he sighed inwardly. Whether it was the special effects or the acting, this video was incredibly high-quality. With his years of experience, a push for it should be enough to generate some buzz. Plus, the fact that this video referenced a previously buzzed-about social event had a certain amount of publicity value.
He quickly began contacting various familiar marketing accounts and the company's publicity team.
However, the speed at which the video spread exceeded Sun Quan's expectations. The video was uploaded to another short video platform and spread at an extremely fast speed.
In just one day, the number of likes exceeded hundreds of thousands, and more and more video marketing accounts began to promote it. Many began to edit previous animal incidents with this public service announcement. Whether it was to ride on the popularity or promote it with real feelings, the exposure of the video continued to increase.
Inside the hospital, Qin Zhixing stood in front of the office window, and the video playing on his mobile phone was exactly the widely circulated video of Jiang Yuxia today.
He looked at Jiang Yuxia in the camera and a trace of heartache flashed across his face. Perhaps he was the one who understood best what it felt like at that time. The phone screen finally paused on Jiang Yuxia's eyes.
Qin Zhixing lowered his eyes slightly and watched quietly. His eye color changed, and the fingers holding the phone moved, as if he wanted to touch the person on the screen, but he hesitated. In the end, he just hung his fingers above. After a long time, his fingers curled up and slowly retracted.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and the intern he was leading popped his head out from behind the door. "Teacher, the clinic has started."
"Yeah." Qin Zhixing responded, turned off the screen, and put the phone away calmly.
When he passed by the intern, he suddenly heard him ask: "Teacher, you look so bad, are you feeling unwell?"
Qin Zhixing's face was pale, his lips bloodless. He hadn't looked very well recently, and there were times when the interns thought he was going to faint.
Qin Zhixing paused, then smiled and said, "No, maybe I didn't sleep well last night."
…
After reading the book, Jiang Yuxia understood why Sun Quan wanted him to audition for this play.
Because the whole story takes place in an orphanage.
Sun Quan hoped that the role he auditioned for would not be one with many scenes, but it would be very real. He even felt that he had actually seen this supporting role in an orphanage.
He only knew the video had gone viral when Director Zhao sent him a message, "Xiao Xia, it seems our collaboration was very successful. Let's work together more in the future."
Later, Sun Quan also sent him a link. He logged into Weibo and took a look. The comments in the comment section made his eyes widen. He originally thought it was just a simple public service announcement, but he didn't expect it to be so popular. It was an unexpected surprise.
The resulting video was somewhat different from what he had imagined, for example, some small details were magnified and many images were deleted, but it was generally consistent.
Jiang Yuxia watched the video several times, and finally curled his lips. He opened Zhou Boye's chat history and sent him the video link.
After sending it, he was slightly stunned, his face felt a little hot, and he felt like a child asking for praise.
But——I just couldn’t help but share it with Zhou Boye.
After a moment, the message box jumped and said, "Great photo, my baby is so great."
The dissipated heat surged up again, and Jiang Yuxia's eyes were full of tears. He covered his phone in shame. Zhou Boye spoke in the tone of coaxing a child.
He took a deep breath and gave Zhou Boye a "satisfied" expression in response.
On the other side, Zhou Boye couldn't control his smile when he saw Jiang Yuxia's smug expression. His heart softened and he wanted to go home and hug him for a fight.
Someone from the publicity department came over to ask Wei Zhuo, "Assistant Wei, should we help repost the boss lady's video?"
As Mr. Zhou's right-hand man, Wei Zhuo had also seen the video. He thought about the free-spirited smile his CEO had just seen in the office and sighed slightly, "Let's post it."
If it is not sent now, Zhou Boye might give the order to forward it later.
The Propaganda Department asked again, worriedly, "Are you sure? Then we'll transfer it."
"Turn."
As soon as the publicity department people left, the secretariat started chatting, "The boss lady has a really amazing face. She can look like anything she wears."
"That look in his eyes was so explosive, and the scene where he was rummaging through the ruins, I felt like he was about to break. The boss lady was so awesome. After watching it, I immediately donated a small amount of money to the foundation."
"I didn't quite understand the first part, but when the kitten's eyes met his, tears started streaming down my face."
"You're thinking about your furry friends, right? Even though I don't have a cat, that look makes me feel sad."
"I have a few stray cats that I feed regularly, and I'm thinking of them. Many of them are pet breeds that simply can't survive in the wild... They're all so skinny."
"Oh, what a sin! If you raise a pet, you should be responsible. You can't just throw it away. It's a life."
"Some people even catch stray cats specifically to satisfy their own perverted psychology..."
“…”
Everyone in the secretariat fell silent, because apart from a few curses, they were powerless to do anything else.
The next day, the number of likes on the video continued to rise, and Lu Fangbao also sent a long message to Jiang Yuxia. The rescue base received a lot of donations, and many people came from afar to adopt the animals.
The earliest batch of money from Jiang Yuxia was also received. Although Jiang Yuxia donated anonymously, the video had not been released at that time. He could not think of anyone else except Jiang Yuxia who could and was willing to donate so much at once.
The last words of the text message were "Thank you".
Jiang Yuxia was a little happy. She got up from the bed and looked out the window. It was a rare sunny day.
Zhou Boye seems to be very busy recently, staying in the study until late at night every day. Maybe because the two of them have too little time to meet, sometimes she will drag him to the study with her.
It just so happened that he was reading that book during this period, so Zhou Boye was busy while he was reading, which was quite harmonious.
The book "Summer Fantasy" narrates a person's life from the first perspective. It has its ups and downs and its dullness. People come and go in life, but in the end, he still walks alone.
Jiang Yuxia liked this book and the ideas it conveyed, so after he finished researching the characters who had auditioned, he also researched several other more outstanding characters, including the protagonist.
Zhou Boye looked at Jiang Yuxia who was writing furiously at the desk, then glanced at the time, "Jiang Youyou, it's time to go to bed."
Jiang Yuxia was so embarrassed that she said as she wrote, "Right away, right away, I'll finish this little bit."
Ten minutes passed. Zhou Boye glanced at someone who had no intention of taking a rest, stopped the work at hand, and walked over to him.
The shadows were cast on the table and the notebook by the light. Jiang Yuxia paused and looked up.
Zhou Boye looked at him with a slight frown, the expression he wore when he was about to get angry. Jiang Yuxia pursed her lips, closed the notebook neatly, and leaned her head back against Zhou Boye, rubbing her head against him twice.
"I'm going to bed first, come soon."
The seriousness that Zhou Boye had just put on his face disappeared in an instant. Looking at Jiang Yuxia's back, he laughed twice and pressed his fingers between his eyebrows. He really had no idea what to do with him.
