Chapter 35: Arthur Dances! Intent to Kill His Mother?! [Ask for flowers!!!]

And watching this scene.

Watching Su Chen shirtless, holding the gun in his left hand, pointing straight at the empty sofa.

A silence, countless viewers inexplicably felt a chill down their backs.

[Every time I see this body, I feel a bit shocking, too thin....]

[Arthur... what is he thinking...]

[Ah... don't play with guns casually?]

[Arthur.. is he going to turn black??]

[This chair, is it Arthur’s mother’s chair?!]

[Makes me a bit scared....]

[I think Arthur is really pitiful, the name his mother gave him is Happy, but he has never been happy]

[She never believed Arthur could become a comedian!]

After withdrawing the gun.

Su Chen sat on the sofa, quietly looking at the revolver in his hand.

Click.

A crisp sound.

The left hand holding the gun gently cocked the gun.

Listening to the cheerful singing and dancing coming from the TV.

Su Chen stood up slowly with the gun.

Closing his eyes, the expression on his face was a bit intoxicated.

Hands raised above his head.

The withered body danced slowly to the beat of the music.

Although the dance steps were not good-looking, and the skin-and-bones figure made it look a bit horrific.

But all the viewers saw Su Chen so relaxed for the first time!

As if releasing the pressure in his heart in the dance steps! Also showing himself truly!

As if talking to himself, Su Chen asked himself.

"Hey, what’s your name?"

"Arthur."

"Hey, Arthur, you dance really well."

"I know, who dances badly?"

"Him!"

While speaking, Su Chen replied coldly.

The left hand holding the gun pulled the trigger at the wall on the side without warning.

Bang!!

A gunshot that rang through the night sky!

A bullet hole immediately appeared on the wall!

And Su Chen was startled by this shot! He fell to the ground.

Even.. he didn't know why he fired just now! And so without hesitation!

He hurriedly turned up the TV volume and fooled his mother who was asking from next door.

"Happy? What sound? Are you okay? Did you hear the sound just now?"

"I’m watching an old war movie!"

"Keep it down!"

And in the living room.

As if awakened by this gunshot, Su Chen held his head and was very regretful, as if saying to himself.

"Sorry, Mom!"

All the viewers were startled by this sudden shot!

And even more worried for Su Chen’s behavior!

Why put bullets in the gun?!

When Su Chen cocked it just now, they thought the revolver was empty.

But didn't expect, Su Chen actually loaded it! And was dancing with a real gun with live ammunition and cocked??

Wasn't he afraid of misfiring and hitting himself?!

But what puzzled all the viewers the most!

Was when Su Chen fired.

It was so decisive! Without hesitation! Even said... full of aggression!

Completely different from his usual performance!

Up to this point in the film.

In the judge’s seat, Zhang Laomou spoke to the camera.

"I don't know if everyone noticed one point."

"The timing of Su Chen’s apology is very strange."

"Clearly he had already talked to his mother and fooled the gunshot with the excuse of watching TV. Then why did he apologize again?"

"Is it because he broke the wall and apologized? Or because he lied to Mom and apologized?"

"I’m afraid neither."

"This apology was indeed said to his mother."

"But the reason Su Chen apologized was something else."

Zhang Laomou smiled, his eyes calm as water, as if he saw through something.

"When Su Chen just pointed the gun at that sofa chair."

"He should have really had the intent to kill."

"He was feeling guilty for his own intent to kill just now."

"As for more details, I won't reveal them, leaving a little suspense."

"I can only say... Su Chen’s performance is simply detailed to the extreme!"

Following Zhang Laomou’s analysis.

The audience in the livestream felt a jolt in their hearts, finally finding the reason for the chill they had felt down their spines earlier.

Sure enough...

Their uneasy suspicions were actually true?!

[It’s too terrifying...]

[Arthur... he really has the intent to kill his mother?!]

[But... why???]

[His mother is one of the few people in the world who is good to him!!]

[Zhang Laomou only said half of it... could there be some hidden story??]

[It can’t just be because his mother denied him, right??]

[I get it! They mentioned Arthur’s mental illness earlier! Maybe he’s having an episode?]

[Arthur... is he going to turn dark?]

Amidst the countless speculations in the bullet comments, many viewers felt a lingering sense of unease.

But they could only comfort themselves.

The scene shifted to the next day.

Internal Group 519124243

Su Chen was wearing a trench coat with the hood up, staring at something in the distance through a chain-link fence.

At the entrance of a school in the distance.

The female neighbor Su Fei, whom he had met in the elevator last night, appeared with her daughter.

In front of the school gate, Su Fei was instructing her daughter, just like any ordinary mother.

Then, she grabbed her bag and hurried off to work.

Seeing this, Su Chen in the distance pulled his hood tighter and followed.

Instantly.

This scene shocked all the viewers.

Su Chen’s behavior... was clearly stalking....

Although they sympathized with Su Chen’s plight and hoped the world would show him more warmth.

But... all the viewers actually didn’t want him to do this...

Even if Su Chen had a budding, naive affection for her.

Or perhaps he just wanted another chance to interact and held no malice.

This was absolutely not the way to go about it!

In the scene.

Seeming to realize his own problem, after stalking Su Fei for a distance.

In front of a building.

Su Chen hesitated for a few steps, finally regained his reason, and watched her enter the building.

This allowed countless viewers to breathe a sigh of relief.

After listening in, or rather, stealing tips from someone else’s brilliant stand-up comedy show.

Su Chen returned home.

He sat shirtless at his desk, seemingly lost in thought.

Only a single hanging lamp illuminated the desk, making the room look exceptionally dim.

On the table lay the notebook containing his diary and reflections.

Su Chen picked up a pen with his right hand and slowly wrote:

“The worst part about having a mental illness is...”

Afterwards.

Su Chen leaned back in his chair, smoking and thinking for a long time.

Accompanied by unsettling music.

He switched to holding the pen in his left hand.

He scribbled a sentence in the notebook, accompanied by a smiley face.

“People expect you to behave as if you don’t.”

Looking at what he had written.

The corners of Su Chen’s mouth couldn’t help but curl up, and he finally laughed out loud, his laughter filled with self-mockery and sorrow.

Looking at the notebook.

The audience before the screen fell silent.

Although they didn’t want to admit it.

Many people in reality did exactly that, even they themselves.

But now, seeing it from Su Chen’s perspective.

Everyone realized how cold such behavior was.

The next second.

A sudden doorbell interrupted everyone’s thoughts.

Su Chen had already put on his clothes and walked over to open the door.

Su Fei’s face appeared at the door.

Seeing Su Chen, she smiled slightly and got straight to the point:

“Did you follow me today?”

“Yes.”

After a slight hesitation, Su Chen admitted it openly.

But the viewers before the screen were shocked.

Su Chen’s stalking behavior... was actually discovered?!

A sinking feeling followed.

The romance they had been hoping for for Su Chen.

Would very likely be ruined because of this...

But seeing Su Chen’s honest attitude, Su Fei raised an eyebrow, seemingly unbothered.

“I knew it was you. I thought you were going to break in and rob me.”

Clearly, there was no blame in Su Fei’s words.

She didn’t even suspect his motives for stalking and even joked with him.

Su Chen was incredibly surprised, the joy on his face clearly visible, and he joked back:

“I do have a gun, I’ll come visit your place tomorrow.”

“You’re so funny, Arthur.”

Su Fei was immediately amused by Su Chen’s words.

And this affirmation made Su Chen pause.

This was likely the first time he had heard his sense of humor praised by someone else.

Even from his mother, with whom he lived,

he had never received such affirmation.
