Chapter 2621: 2522. About the Little Boy

2522. About the Little Boy

From the end of April Earthquake Relief, the little boy appeared, all the way until the year‑end, and finally it was decided to continue this plot.

At first it was intermittent; the little boy became part of Zheng Lao Ban's nightly QQ posts. This is a very old joke; the earliest I recall is over ten years ago, when someone mentioned it in Heaven's Edge Lotus Ghost Talk.

After it had appeared for a while, Teacher Shen one day called me and asked, "What's going on with this plot?" I said, "The little boy is already dead."

Teacher Shen said, life is hard, readers are already tired; they just come for entertainment, why are you making the plot so heavy? This is a web novel—don't be literary, don't be literary!

That makes sense, but readers keep asking about this meme—what exactly happened in the end?

It was a coincidence—perhaps because it couldn't be forgotten—that it eventually resonated. To wrap things up, I opened this section, expanding what was originally just a little anecdote into a story and changing the plot involving Director Pan.

Basically, humanity's struggle against the inevitable laws of birth, aging, sickness, and death is doomed to fail.

Just now I looked at the comment section; a reader's relative passed away... Silence. A few days ago... Forget it, better not say. Thinking about parting and death, my emotions are a bit tangled; I deleted a lot from the single chapter I had written.

I will try to write this plot as bright and sunny as possible.

As above, that's it.
