Chapter 57

"Brothers, keep your eyes wide open—let's see how many landmines Qin Yu's youth film can step on."

"Love triangle, catfighting, pregnancy, abortion, breakup."

"Damn, your summary is actually pretty good—that's almost become the formula for a youth film."

"Of course!"

The audience on-site was mostly still not very optimistic about Qin Yu—after all, what good thing could an actor possibly film?

But for various reasons, they were very curious.

Miss Ni Ni in the front row was the same.

"Qin Yu, can you do it?"

Qin Yu turned his head and asked, his face full of confusion.

"Haven't you already tried?"

Miss Ni Ni's face darkened—who's doing that with you?

I'm talking serious business with you, and you go driving!

"Bastard!"

"Don't worry, no problem."

"Go to hell, you bastard."

Miss Ni Ni said that with her mouth, but she watched the subtitles flow slowly.

Her face still full of worry.

Slowly, the movie began.

Flipped—the movie was very simple; right at the start it introduced how the female lead and the male lead met.

Moving house—the still-little-girl female lead Xia Mo fell for the male lead at first sight.

When the two of them tumbled onto the lawn.

The little girl's eyes shone with a joy visible to the naked eye, impossible to hide from anyone.

Unfortunately, at this time the male lead didn't like Xia Mo—he even disliked her.

The movie pushed forward through inner monologue.

The audience could easily guess what was on the male lead's mind.

The story was simple, but very warm.

Starting from elementary school, the female lead Xia Mo began all kinds of approaches toward the male lead.

Deliberately sitting in the desks in front of and behind him, waiting after school to walk home with him.

At lunch, calling out the male lead's name.

All of this seemed so simple, yet it was very immersive.

The audience all seemed to be able to find their own shadow in it.

To attract the gaze of the Miss they liked, people always did all kinds of strange things.

"Damn, this movie's not bad. The first half is really warm, really good to watch." a viewer in the back row whispered in surprise.

The friend beside him also nodded, the corners of his mouth still carrying a smile.

"Exactly, although it's very plain, you can find your own shadow in it—Flipped, that name was really well chosen."

"It's not a bad film?"

"……"

"Anyway, the first twenty minutes definitely aren't."

The viewers in the back row chatted in low voices.

Qin Yu's movie was unexpectedly good.

Everyone's face broke into a smile.

Only some twenty-odd reporters had terrible expressions—this freaking couldn't be!

"Don't rush, dog tail after sable—maybe the plot later on is a total mess."

"Exactly, it must be like that."

"……"

"Uh, my stomach hurts a little, I'm going to the restroom." a clever reporter thought to slip away.

Freaking hell.

He wasn't stupid—Qin Yu's ability to tell a story was very strong, recounting a little girl's first love in a gentle and engaging way.

He didn't believe it would fall apart at the end later.

So he wanted to run.

"Sit your ass down!"

"……"

This was still only the beginning—after the female lead and male lead grew up did it slowly get exciting.

The story's opening was the female lead Xia Mo, played by Miss Ni Ni, sitting in a parasol tree.

Calling out to the male lead, played by Qin Yu, to come up together.

As long as they both came up, those lumberjacks wouldn't dare chop.

Unfortunately, the male lead, who had always been indifferent to Xia Mo, hurried onto the car, completely ignoring the helplessness inside Xia Mo.

"Damn it, this guy Qin Yu is really useless."

"Rightly said, scumbag—Miss Ni Ni was already crying like that, don't you know this parasol tree is Xia Mo's favorite thing?"

"Exactly, the scumbag deserves to die!"

"I feel so bad for Miss Ni Ni."

"……"

"Hey brother, enough already. It's just a movie, don't take it into real life." The guy next to him was speechless.

"Ahem, can't help it, the movie was too moving. How come I never noticed Miss Ni Ni was this pretty before?"

"Dummy! It's not that Miss Ni Ni is pretty, it's that Qin Yu Society knows how to shoot. You all saw Miss Ni Ni just now, didn't you?"

"Anyway, I don't think she looks as good as in the movie."

"Agreed."

"Agreed!"

……

The audience's hearts were stirred up, and watching the plot that followed, they felt heartache.

Ever since the parasol tree was cut down.

The once lively and adorable Xia Mo was gone.

The whole person seemed very melancholy.

She didn't even dare ride the school bus.

Because that parasol tree was right at the school bus stop.

It wasn't until Xia Mo's father gave her a painting of a parasol tree that Xia Mo slowly returned to her former cheerfulness.

And on the other side, the male lead's inner monologue was also quite interesting.

After Xia Mo stopped bothering him, the male lead played by Qin Yu felt all kinds of out-of-sorts.

No one to eat lunch with, no one to go to and from school with.

It was as if a part of his life was missing.

Only at this moment did he realize that this girl named Xia Mo had already deeply embedded herself into his life.

He also finally understood that he liked Xia Mo.

Perhaps it was on that afternoon when she moved.

Or perhaps it was the smile of Xia Mo sitting on the parasol tree tossing paper balls down on a scorching summer day.

Or perhaps it was……

Unfortunately, just when he wanted to confess to Xia Mo, his good buddy found out.

He couldn't understand it at all.

And told the male lead played by Qin Yu that Xia Mo's uncle was mentally disabled, and the reason he found Xia Mo strange.

Was because the upper beam is crooked, so the lower beam is askew~
