Yu Meng, a viewer who had braved the storm for everyone, was watching the live broadcast on Penglai TV with red eyes, but not from sadness, but from anger!
Director Lin didn't wield the sword at the end this time; instead, he wielded it right at the beginning.
The scene opens with the female lead at a piano competition, then the camera cuts to her parents driving to the competition.
An accident occurred when an out-of-control car suddenly appeared. The female protagonist's parents turned the steering wheel to try to avoid it, but they noticed a young boy in a high school uniform in another direction.
So, he tried to turn the car around again, but it was too late, and he ultimately died in the accident.
The scene shifts to the other side, where the piano music ends, and the female lead, wearing a pretty dress, is taking photos on stage after winning first place. She glances at the audience, seemingly unable to find the person she's looking for, and her expression shows a slight disappointment.
Immediately afterwards, she retrieved her silent phone from backstage; her parents had died in a car accident.
Then all the sounds disappeared.
The female lead was already very beautiful. Wearing an exquisite dress, she stood in the hospital, staring in disbelief at the two beds covered with white sheets, and cried uncontrollably.
On the other side, the boy who was injured in the car accident stood not far away and looked at the female lead. He originally wanted to thank her, but he felt that leaving was probably the best thing for her at this moment.
The boy in the high school uniform is the male protagonist. He was abandoned in a trash can when he was a child. His grandmother found him and raised him by collecting trash.
But before he could repay his grandmother and give her a good life, she passed away.
Before she passed away, his grandmother told him to continue studying hard, get into a good university, find a beautiful wife, and live a good life.
He was in great pain during that time, and there were even people he had never met who claimed to be his grandmother's relatives who came to take away his grandmother's small house of a dozen square meters in the urban village.
Fortunately, after the neighborhood committee members and police officers investigated the matter, they managed to drive the other party away.
The neighborhood committee aunties even raised money for him so he could finish high school.
He was already a senior in high school, and in less than a year he would be going to college. He was only a month away from turning 18 when he was involved in a car accident.
He saw that the deceased couple's daughter was dressed like a little princess, and their relatives were all adorned with gold and silver, which was much better than what he, a person with nothing, had.
He felt a pang of guilt, but the cause of the accident was the drunk driver. After expressing his gratitude to the relatives of the deceased couple, he slunk away.
He glanced one last time at the girl who was crying her eyes out and didn't even look at him; he heard she was only a first-year high school student.
He was also very sad when his grandmother passed away. His grandmother had no savings. Although the male protagonist was a good student and often won scholarships, the scholarships in high school were not much. The school waived tuition fees, but he still needed money for food and paper.
His paper and pens were all collected by his grandmother from bottle by bottle, and occasionally the people at the recycling station would try to lower the price for them.
His own life was still a mess, and he didn't even have the means to sympathize with a girl who had no parents but came from a wealthy family.
The male protagonist sighed and left.
The male protagonist thought he would never see that girl again.
But to his surprise, six months later, there was a knock on his door.
When the door opened, it was a relative of the girl, who seemed to be an aunt, carrying a schoolbag in one hand and grabbing the back of the girl's clothes with the other.
As soon as the door opened, the girl's relatives started talking about how wicked she was, hurling insults and calling her a vixen who seduced her husband.
"In short, her parents died trying to save you, so you have to take responsibility."
Only then did the male protagonist take a serious look at the girl, and when he met her gaze, his pupils couldn't help but tremble.
Her eyes were filled with venom. In just six months, she seemed like a completely different person.
That once glamorous and naive little princess has long lost her radiance, now wearing a tattered school uniform, with bruises visible on her occasionally exposed arms.
The male protagonist unconsciously frowned. Why did he hit her?
Before he could ask, the female protagonist broke free and bit her relative's hand, drawing blood.
The relative dropped the schoolbag and pushed the girl's head against the wall.
The male protagonist hurriedly protected the girl's head, while the relatives had already taken advantage of the chaos to leave.
The female lead glared at him fiercely, "Why wasn't it you who died!"
The male protagonist was filled with mixed feelings, his mind a complete mess. If her parents were still alive, she might still be a well-off little princess.
The female lead spoke harshly to him, but the male lead still let her stay at home, living in the only bedroom while he slept on the small sofa in the living room.
[Holy crap, I'm furious!!! What kind of people are these relatives of the female lead?! They tricked her into signing all sorts of agreements, and then after getting the money and the house, they passed her around like a football. She's beautiful, yet she was molested by that sleazy husband of one of her relatives!! Luckily, that relative came back in time and caught her red-handed, and then that relative actually called the female lead a vixen!!! I feel like I'm about to explode with anger!!!]
【Amazing! Absolutely amazing! My newly diagnosed low blood pressure is completely cured! And those shameless relatives still dared to hit her!! How could they do that to such a beautiful girl!!!】
[The female lead has changed so much in the last couple of episodes! One moment she's a delicate little princess, the next she's a fierce wolf cub. Waaaaah~ I can't believe it, my darling!]
The male protagonist dropped out of school before the college entrance examination. He was already an adult and two and a half years older than the female protagonist. He didn't have much money, so he had to drop out of school to work and support the female protagonist's education.
He felt that this was something he owed her.
He works multiple jobs every day, and the female lead, whose personality has drastically changed, always glares fiercely at the male lead, even saying things like, "Why don't you just die?"
It was as if all the malice was being poured out on the male protagonist, but he only felt heartache. Perhaps it was because he had also lost a loved one that he could better understand the unease in the female protagonist's words.
She was using vicious words to protect herself, but she didn't have to.
Even though she was covered in thorns, he still wanted to embrace her and warm her, just like his grandmother had when she found him.
Gradually, he sensed that the female lead was treating him a little differently. Although she kept her distance, she would still approach him immediately when they encountered drunkards on the street. The sound of locks clicking as she entered rooms also seemed to have decreased. He was happy about these changes.
I never imagined that a well-behaved girl would one day have her parents called in.
He listened as the teacher accused her of fighting with another classmate, whose parents cursed her as a jinx.
He saw her glare back fiercely, not letting a single tear escape her eyes.
[Fine, fine, so the male lead is going to insult the other party's parents like this? The other party insulted the female lead's parents first, which led to the fight, and now he's bullying her here!!!]
However, I don't quite understand why the female lead still looks at the male lead with a somewhat fierce gaze.
[No, not the person upstairs. The male lead and she are separated by the deaths of their parents. If she didn't hate him, I'd think the female lead was just infatuated!]
Aren't you afraid the female lead will drive the male lead away with her words?
I feel like she and the male lead are somewhat dependent on each other, perhaps because they both only have themselves left and no other relatives.
