Chapter 683: The Release of

~14 min read 2,783 words

"Fatal Countdown," a film that many a Film Critic has crazily praised with the phrase "no bathroom breaks from start to finish."

The so-called "bathroom break" refers to a segment of boring content during a film that you can skip entirely, and you wouldn't feel it a pity to go to the restroom.

Some films are so rotten that even when you don't need to pee, you still want to go to the restroom to smoke a cigarette.

If you are holding it in because you want to finish a film in one go, then undoubtedly, it is absolutely a good film in your heart. So, what about "Charlotte Troubles"?

The female Psychologist Ye Mei does not yet have a very strong urge to go to the restroom.

She also does not feel that a Comedy would be unable to spare even that little bit of time.

Ye Mei simply does not want to miss the rebirth drama at the beginning.

Therefore, she does not yet realize the severity of the problem.

——This is a bladder-testing match!

……..

……..

The story of "Charlotte Troubles" begins with the wedding of Qiu Ya.

At the entrance of the hotel, a million-level white sedan drives up.

It drives slowly, and it looks somewhat…….. deliberate?

The hotel security uncle picks up a traffic cone and gestures backward, signaling it to park in a space, but to everyone's surprise, he is directly ignored.

The car drives to the hotel entrance, and the doorman, with a beaming smile, reaches out to open the car door, but the car drives away again.

——It is circling the hotel entrance.

The security guard gradually looks stunned, and the doorman's hand, which he tried to use to open the door several times, reaches out and pulls back.

Watching these scenes, the audience has already started to find it interesting.

Inside the car.

"I say, brother-in-law, that's enough! I need to head back quickly."

"My girlfriend is celebrating her sixtieth birthday today, and she doesn't even know I took the car out," says the brother-in-law who is driving.

Xia Luo, sitting in the back seat, says: "Just like this, drive slower, let's circle two more times."

The camera focuses on the faces of the security uncle and the doorman; looking at their expressions, laughter erupts in the Cinema.

Not until an old classmate appears at the hotel entrance does Xia Luo hurriedly tell his brother-in-law to stop, and then he gets out of the car, full of pretension.

"Xia Luo, hahaha Xia Luo! You're doing quite well for yourself!"

"I was just wondering, who is circling around here so many times."

Xia Luo says calmly: "Long time no see……. hey, hey!"

The hem of his coat is caught in the car door, and as the car starts, he is dragged along with it.

"Hey! Hey! Brother-in-law!" He slaps the car window.

"You little brat!" The car drives faster and faster, he can't keep up, his slapping of the window becomes more forceful, and the words in his mouth change too.

The female Psychologist Ye Mei watches all this and finds it quite interesting.

The purpose of Xia Luo coming to this wedding is to show off and let Qiu Ya see that he is doing very well.

"Although I am not the protagonist today, I must dress the most handsomely." Xia Luo smooths out the chicken feathers on the collar of his suit.

Ye Mei originally thought that this aesthetic needed improvement, but the next moment, she couldn't help but laugh.

"But the tragic thing is, I'm fucking wearing the same outfit as the emcee!"

Just then, the emcee stands on the stage, looks at Xia Luo entering the door, and asks: "Fellow colleague, did you walk into the wrong room?"

Laughter erupts immediately at the wedding scene, but the laughter in the Cinema is even louder.

"Yuan Hua, can you improvise a poem based on this Hang Tou of our Xia Luo?" Zhang Yang says.

"Forget it." Yuan Hua puts on a show of Yujuhanying.

"Come on, come on. Give us one!" Zhang Yang grabs him.

Yuan Hua stands there, his suit well-fitted, his hairstyle meticulous, quite handsome, and in stark contrast to Xia Luo: "Then……. then I'll try."

He begins: "Arriving at the banquet alone in a feather suit."

Hearing this, Xia Luo even gives him a thumbs up.

To everyone's surprise, Yuan Hua's next line is: "We are all classmates, why put on such a show."

In an instant, the whole table of people bursts into laughter.

Just as everyone is toasting each other, Teacher Wang makes a flashy entrance.

This character is played by Wang Rong himself. On Earth, it is played by Tian Yu.

Many people might not know that Tian Yu and Tang Wei once dated.

Xia Luo's internal monologue appears: "Old Wang? I heard he was fired from the school for accepting gifts; he still has the nerve to come."

These contents of the wedding, besides setting up Xia Luo's frustration and ridiculousness, also cleverly inform the audience of the character settings and traits of the teachers and classmates.

"Teacher Wang, do you remember me? That year during the winter long-distance run, I came in first!" Zhang Yang says excitedly.

"First……." Teacher Wang looks at him, unable to recall for a long time.

"That year during the New Year, my dad went to give you a radio," Zhang Yang says.

"Zhang Yang!" Teacher Wang points at him and immediately says his name: "That, a teacher cannot forget."

In an instant, there is another wave of laughter in the Cinema.

Ye Mei is also laughing along.

Wang Rong is, after all, a master of Comedy, and he acts effortlessly.

Yuan Hua stands on the side and also toasts: "Teacher Wang, my dad sent a television."

Teacher Wang clinks glasses with him and says: "Yuan Hua, still as talented and handsome as ever."

Da Chun stood to the side and said foolishly, "Teacher, what my dad gave was a wall calendar."

"Then the teacher can't remember." Teacher Wang glanced at him and shook his head.

In the end, he even added loudly, "The teacher doesn't hold grudges!"

In an instant, someone in the Cinema burst out laughing.

"Teacher Wang, I'm Meng Te, I go by Meng Tejiao now," said a gaudily dressed person.

"Actually, among the students in your class, the one the teacher has the deepest impression of is that Xia Luo; what is that idiot doing now?" Teacher Wang said, unaware that Xia Luo was standing right behind him.

Suddenly, the whole room erupted in laughter again.

By the time Qiu Ya came to offer a toast, Xia Luo was already drunk.

At this moment, his wife Ma Dongmei found her way to the wedding venue.

She stood in a secluded spot and happened to see her drunken husband embarrassingly Singing a song he wrote to the bride, Qiu Ya.

Psychologist Ye Mei watched this scene and frowned slightly.

She had originally intended to go to the restroom just then.

But the next moment, she saw Ma Dongmei say to Qiu Ya, "Qiu Ya, look, I didn't even know you were getting married, I just came dressed like this, I'm really sorry, congratulations."

After shaking hands with Qiu Ya, she said to the groom standing to the side, "Congratulations, Uncle."

"This is my husband," Qiu Ya reminded her softly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Uncle," Ma Dongmei said, holding the groom's hand.

She turned her head to look at the whole room, and upon seeing Teacher Wang, she said in surprise, "Teacher Wang, you're here too? You're still alive."

"I can't sit down, I can't, I still have to accompany Xia Luo to visit his mother's grave; you say, all these good things happen on the same day," Ma Dongmei said.

In the Cinema, there was another burst of laughter.

Listening to Ma Dongmei's chatter, Ye Mei, whose bottom had already slightly left the seat, settled back down into it.

Seeing Xia Luo making a fool of himself here, Ma Dongmei wanted to take him home.

But Xia Luo, who kept making a spectacle of himself, actually refused to leave.

"Your stomach isn't good, stop drinking. If you want to drink, let's go home and drink, we have alcohol at home too." She spoke as if coaxing a child, her tone Gentle, without a trace of the ferocity she had when snapping at people earlier.

But when she went to drag Xia Luo away, she was shaken off by him.

Amidst the pushing and shoving, Yuan Hua came out to take charge, but was exposed by Xia Luo for having stolen Qiu Ya's first kiss.

Ma Dongmei gradually exploded.

"Xia Luo, have I given you too much face? Qiu Ya is getting married and you're here Singing and Dancing, dressed like a feather duster, what are you showing off for!"

Normally, this kind of scene would be considered a major social death.

But the next moment, the audience saw the emcee, who was wearing the same outfit as Xia Luo, silently take off his suit jacket.

During the couple's argument, Ma Dongmei gradually lost control of her emotions.

"Do you have any shame, Xia Luo? Have you earned a single cent since graduation?"

"I go out to do cupping therapy for people during the day, and go out to pedal a tricycle at night. I was just thinking that if I saved some money to buy a motorcycle, I could save some effort."

"But you, you give a wedding gift, and you even gave away my engine!" Ma Dongmei said.

It was heartbreaking, but why was it also so funny!

Ye Mei laughed like this, her hips, clad in a black skirt, occasionally rubbing lightly against the chair.

The scene between Xia Luo and his wife at the wedding became increasingly chaotic, and Xia Luo was eventually chased and beaten by Ma Dongmei.

He fled into the restroom and splashed water on his head, still completely drunk.

The monologue here is actually very important, and one of the lines is: "I have never accomplished a single thing, and what is even more pathetic is that I don't even know what I want."

Xia Luo caused a scene in the hotel restroom, and the moment he pushed open the restroom door, he was suddenly back in his classroom from his student days.

Here, Teacher Wang was punishing him for reading his own love letter.

He pointed at the love letter Xia Luo wrote and said, "Dear who, who is your dear?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the student-aged Ma Dongmei fled in panic and ran out of the classroom.

—So embarrassing!

Knowing the truth, Teacher Wang pointed at Xia Luo's nose and scolded, "Look at you, you have invisibly hurt so many people!"

Teacher Wang became increasingly arrogant, and in the end, he was met with a kick from Xia Luo.

"You dare hit a teacher?"

"In a dream, do you think I'd let you bully me?" said Xia Luo, who still thought he was dreaming.

A new farce began.

Zhang Yang was very despicable during his student days; he hit the teacher and said, "Xia Luo, how could you hit the teacher!"

"Who hit that just now?" Teacher Wang said in great Anger.

Xia Luo directly covered Teacher Wang's head with a schoolbag, and suddenly, a group of students who had long held grudges all swarmed up to beat him.

Yuan Hua took advantage of the chaos to run out and find the principal.

When everyone else stopped, only Da Chun came running over foolishly, preparing to land a kick.

Teacher Wang took off the schoolbag, looked at Da Chun's raised foot, and said angrily, "What are you doing!?"

"T-Teacher Wang, do you think my shoes look good?" Da Chun instantly lost his nerve.

Teacher Wang was so angry he fainted.

Xia Luo still thought it was a dream, and at this moment, Qiu Ya worshipped him.

Seeing Xia Luo walk over, she also quietly stood up and stood in front of him.

This girl, who was still very innocent for the time being, had no idea what the man in front of her was about to do.

Thinking he was dreaming, Xia Luo kissed her directly.

Yuan Hua, who had gone to fetch the principal, ran in and happened to see this scene: "Qiu Ya..."

He slid down to sit right beside Teacher Wang.

"Shut up!" the person beside the principal shouted.

In an instant, the Cinema erupted in laughter again.

"This student, whatever difficulties or hang-ups you have, you can tell me, don't hurt your female classmate," the principal said.

"Goddess, I have to wake up; if I keep doing this, it'll be a nightmare," Xia Luo said.

He plunged his head into a water basin, but he couldn't go back.

Then, he started slapping himself, wanting to slap himself awake.

The principal stood to the side and said earnestly, "Don't use self-harm to threaten your teacher; you are giving up on yourself."

——Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter!

Xia Luo felt that he had drunk too much and couldn't wake up, so he thought he would play with you all a bit longer in the dream, and do something big.

"Zhang Yang, give me the fire." He walked toward Zhang Yang, and as he passed Qiu Ya, Qiu Ya covered her mouth and retreated repeatedly.

Zhang Yang smiled guiltily and said, "If I don't smoke, where would the fire come from?"

The punchlines are too dense!

Xia Luo snatched the lighter from his pocket, burned the notebook first, and then threw it at the curtains: "Burning, my youth!"

It wasn't until Xia Luo's mother rushed into the classroom that he stopped his misdeeds and hugged his mother: "Mom!"

"Xia Luo, have you gone crazy! What do you want to do?" She hit Xia Luo while apologizing to the principal: "Principal, I'm sorry."

Xia Luo let his mother hit him, as if it didn't hurt at all, with a childlike smile still on his face.

He stood up, stroked his mother's face, and said, "Mom, I missed you."

"Stop crying, I don't want to see you crying in my dream too." He reached out to wipe his mother's tears.

This part of the Drama, if you watch it a second or third time, is actually quite moving.

"I have to wake up," Xia Luo said, "Otherwise I won't be able to return the clothes."

The sudden twist made the audience laugh again; he was actually still thinking about returning that feather duster outfit.

Amidst the stunned gazes of the whole room, he passed everyone, then turned back and suddenly gave Qiu Ya a peck on the face.

Xia Luo squatted on the window, turned his head to his mother and said, "Mom, I'll burn more paper for you later."

After saying this, in the shocked gaze of everyone, he jumped down from the window.

When Xia Luo woke up in the hospital, he was surprised that his mother was actually still here.

"Mom?"

"You scared your mother to death; can't you believe you are still To Live?" his mother asked.

"I can't believe you are still To Live," Xia Luo said to her.

After causing a scene in the hospital, Xia Luo realized something was wrong.

He hurriedly ran out of the hospital and began to realize that he had been reborn and returned to the past.

A proper rebirth plot is about to begin!

At this very moment, Ye Mei was watching too intently.

The punchlines were truly too dense, with jokes being thrown out one after another.

Let alone leaving for a few minutes, it felt like if you weren't careful, you would miss a punchline.

Moreover, she really wanted to know what Xia Luo would do after his rebirth and what would happen.

There might be more than just punchlines here; there is also the thrill of satisfaction.

In fact, the subsequent content was Luo Mo's localization of this movie for Blue Star.

By now, without realizing it, the movie had been playing for over twenty minutes.

Why else would they say that happy times are always short?

Ye Mei was watching very intently, so intently that she didn't even notice her body sending her danger signals.

Who said that if you don't date, there won't be any trouble?

——Danger, danger, danger!
