Chapter 84: Fate

And the next second.

Su Chen didn't seem to give up.

Facing the mirror, Su Chen raised both hands, using his index fingers to reach into his mouth and pull up the corners of his mouth, tugging at the skin of his cheeks to forcibly display a smiling face!

Now, the corners of the man's mouth in the mirror were grinning widely and curving upward; if not for the fingers pulling the corners, it would certainly be a decent smile!

But watching this scene.

In the live stream, countless viewers were slightly silent.

This smile, pulled high by his fingers, looked more like crying in their eyes.

Without any interpretation, almost all viewers could see the sadness in Su Chen's eyes.

In the frame.

Su Chen suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth downward with both hands, displaying a crying face, seemingly struggling; a second later, Su Chen's hands raised upward again, returning to the initial smile.

Looking at himself in the mirror.

Su Chen's hands and even his cheeks trembled slightly, trying hard to maintain this posture, wanting to keep the smile.

But on Su Chen's face.

A tear slid down from his right eye, staining the blue dye around his eye socket.

He could no longer maintain the strained smile on his face.

Su Chen abruptly pulled his hands away, looking forward with pain in his eyes.

Watching the silent Su Chen, all the audience members couldn't help but have their emotions stirred.

But deep down, they were mostly amazed by the acting Su Chen had just displayed!

A smile forcibly pulled by fingers, eyes full of sorrow, without a single line of dialogue.

In just a few seconds.

At the very beginning of the film, Su Chen extinguished the fantasies of countless Zhu Sanlong fans.

This few seconds of performance could be directly recorded in an acting textbook!

The next second.

In the frame.

Accompanied by a light piano melody.

Su Chen's figure appeared on the street.

Wearing a green wig, dressed in a clown suit, holding an advertising sign in his hand, dancing happily to the piano music.

【Kenny's Music Store, Closing Sale! Nothing Left!】

That was what was written on the sign.

Very clearly.

Su Chen was currently a temporary clown hired by the music store behind him, using his performance to attract passersby.

Just as described in the synopsis, life was hard; he could be considered someone living at the very bottom of Gotham City.

But even if it was just a job holding an advertising sign, similar to handing out flyers domestically.

Su Chen still danced with great effort to the music, wearing clown makeup, sharing the happiest smile with every passerby.

Watching this scene, all the audience members couldn't imagine.

That the clown smiling so brightly right now and the Su Chen in front of the vanity mirror who was full of sadness and couldn't even manage a smile were actually the same person...

【Sigh... this is what it's like for people at the very bottom...】

【When he's alone, even smiling is so difficult, yet now he's smiling so hard at every passerby.】

【Someone living at the very bottom of society, yet still struggling to live...】

【This isn't just his job; this is his life!】

【What a contagious dance step!】

【Those who work hard to live will surely receive a gift from fate!】

And just as all the audience members were infected by the enthusiastically performing Su Chen, feeling a bit moved.

The unexpected happened suddenly!

"Mess with him."

Outside the frame, a discordant voice suddenly came.

"Nice outfit!"

"If you have to be a clown, at least you can be a human sign, right?"

On the street, a group of teenage-looking hoodlums walked toward him.

Without warning!

The lead hoodlum stepped up and slapped the sign out of Su Chen's hand! Then, before Su Chen could react, he picked up the sign and ran into the distance! The group of young hoodlums ran off, jeering.

"Stop! Please!"

Su Chen hurriedly dragged his thin body, chasing desperately, pleading as he shouted.

But clearly.

This group of hoodlums wasn't trying to steal the sign; it was of no use to them at all.

What they wanted to do from start to finish was just to tease and trample on Su Chen, the clown.

And the pedestrians coming and going on the street just stopped to watch.

After a chase of several hundred meters.

Su Chen finally caught up to them, panting, in a small alley.

And seeing this.

Countless viewers in the live stream had already guessed what would happen next, and the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.

With such a thin Su Chen, alone and weak, what could he do even if he caught up to this group of hoodlums?

"Bang!"

Unsurprisingly, Su Chen was smashed to the ground by the sneak-attacking hoodlums with the sign.

Then, what greeted him was the merciless punching and kicking of several people. ===== CHAPTER 85 =====
