Chapter 1213 Banyan Tree and Banyan Grassland

Shen Ziqiong laughed out loud.

Jiang Rong, who has returned to his original form in the online game, does not cry like a beautiful lady with pear blossoms in the rain, looking pitiful, but like a small animal crying emoticon, and the whole thing is pitiful.gif

So miserable, so cute.

Shen Ziqiong apologized in her heart while honestly taking a few screenshots, and immediately realized that the setting of "Shadow Link" was really an advantage.

After all, if "Rongrong" had not wronged Bala and shed tears, this plot would have become a classic "the heroine was hated by everyone because of her accidental intimacy with the hero, and suffered from campus bullying one after another. The seemingly strong woman One day, the protagonist finally couldn't help but squatted in the corner and cried bitterly. At this time, the affectionate male lead with a soft light filter appeared. "...

"Well, it's too cliché. Fortunately, it didn't develop like this." Shen Ziqiong was shocked by her own imagination.

She had watched a similar campus idol drama a long time ago. The female supporting characters in it were the same as Wan Ning's small group in the drama version of "Heart Shadow Link". They were basically female rivals with vicious love brains, without any life of their own, as if They were born to be obsessed with male protagonists, jealous of female protagonists and to antagonize female protagonists.

At the same time, because the story takes place in school, people who feel sorry for the heroine will shout, "Everyone deserves to be bullied on campus." It’s a problem for the author who writes the instrumental plot.

In the end, when seeing the male protagonist and the female protagonist together, this group of viewers either felt that the female protagonist had won (in the female competition) and felt relieved and satisfied, or they felt sorry for the affectionate male lead because they were on the wrong side, and made some comments like "XX baby" "If the heroine doesn't love you, I will love you" is a loving comment.

After such a mix-up, "being bullied on campus" has almost become a fashion item worn by the heroine. It is as insignificant as "giving you a few million to leave my son". Its purpose is only to tell the audience that the heroine has been wronged. What kind of hardships did the heroine go through to be with the hero.

Maybe it's because of my sensitive mind. After watching "Daytime Rain" and then looking back at the old idol drama and "Heart Shadow Link" at this time, Shen Ziqiong always felt a little subtle and uncomfortable.

Bullying from peers, class oppression between the rich and the poor... heavy issues were eliminated one by one, turning into bricks that the male and female protagonists stepped on on the road of love.

However, the purpose of watching idol dramas is to watch handsome guys and beauties fall in love and watch extremely romantic and beautiful scenes. Therefore, if you take a serious look and study the logic of the plot and the three concepts hidden in it, you will be criticized by others:

"Then why don't you watch a realistic-themed movie? Is it necessary to go online on this topic?"

So having said that, the online game setting of "Shadow Link" is indeed a highlight. The heroine has a small world where she can vent her emotions and face her true self, and there is also a male protagonist in this small world. This directly refers to idol dramas. There is no need to go through the core of "Everything paves the way for the emotional drama between the male and female protagonists", "The vicious female partner bullies the female protagonist → The male protagonist comes forward to provide psychological comfort to the female protagonist → The male protagonist learns that his buddy likes the female protagonist, he is inexplicably shaken → The male and female protagonist finally finally "Face-to-face contact again" is a bloody and routine step.

In addition, the presence of bullying scenes has also been reduced again and again under such a setting. It truly achieves "since it is an instrumental plot, don't emphasize it too much", so that the audience has not had time to worry about "hey, the bullying of the heroine here belongs to School bullying, isn’t it good?”, and the cute and miserable heroine shows her vulnerable side.

At this time, if the male protagonist appears in time, everyone's blood pressure that has just risen will be immediately calmed down, and they will feel a sense of "oh, no matter how much trouble you monsters and ghosts cause, you can't stop our male protagonist and female protagonist from having a good relationship".

Sure enough, just when Shen Ziqiong thought of this, a light unique to teleportation lit up next to the tearful "Rong Rong", and "Jing Chen" stepped out of it.

"Hey hey hey..." Shen Ziqiong smiled like an aunt reflexively.

good! Comfort does not last overnight! Idol dramas should sprinkle sugar liberally!

The White Rabbit's cries were heard by the Black Goat. He stopped, and for a moment or two he seemed to be hesitating on how to make his opening remarks.

This is not the first time he has faced such a scene. She is delicate and prone to tears. Ever since they met, he has seen every one of her sobs, sobs, whimpers, and wails, and some of them were caused by him.

But once he could treat it roughly without any psychological burden, but now he just feels helpless and troubled.

Liao Jingchen is obviously very good at comforting others.

He knows a lot of words and has practiced them many times in social situations of different age groups. He can easily use a few words to make a sad person burst into laughter, or even cheer up and regain confidence. .

So what hindered his steps and the hand he wanted to reach out? Maybe it was just like that day when "Rong Rong" asked him in surprise whether he cared about her and said that he was "quite a pretty person" despite the shouting and scolding. Okay", making him angry and leave. Whenever this kind of "Liao Jingchen" part is discovered and needed, "Jing Chen" will always feel resistance and escape.

He closed his eyes and walked over.

"Rong Rong" was so focused in her crying that she didn't notice anyone approaching from behind.

A hand hesitated in mid-air for half a second, the slender fingers curled up and opened slightly, and finally fell like a feather on the crying "Rong Rong" shoulder.

"Wooji?!"

The little girl who was patted on the shoulder turned her head with her hair flying. Her face was covered with tears. Her messy bangs and red eyes rubbed against the wall made her look even more miserable, almost like the effect of eyes being poached in anime.

"…………What's wrong with you?"

Liao Jingchen spoke with difficulty.

He wanted to use a more "Jingchen" way (who knows what the so-called "Jingchen way" is), but it only made his concern awkward and cold.

"Rongrong"'s face, which was already flushed with excitement due to crying, became even redder after she saw who was coming. She was sobbing and couldn't speak, and she only raised her hands to wipe her tears, but "Jingchen" stood in front of her, and an indescribable sense of security enveloped her. The more she wiped her tears, the more she cried. In the end, even she was surprised why they were like beads with broken strings, and she couldn't wipe them away no matter how hard she tried.

"Wu, I... I don't... Master..."

"Rongrong" wanted to explain, but her voice was fragmented in sobs, and she couldn't stop crying.

"..."

"Jingchen" sighed softly, put on the goat mask, and gently touched the shoulder of "Rongrong" facing him with his right hand, pressing her into his arms.

After a short pause, the crying from the chest became more fierce.

The tall black goat was silent, silent, like a mountain that accommodates white rabbits.

The camera panned and transitioned, passing this side of the wall and coming to the other side of the wall.

"...The task of getting the withered grass is too difficult. I failed twice."

"Rongrong" - Jiang Rong lowered her head and stammered. This was the first time she deceived "Jingchen", but there was no need to confide in those unpredictable malice in reality. She really didn't care about them, but she was too depressed and needed to find an opportunity to cry hard.

She was much more sober than those who excluded her. She knew that the motivation for all their actions came from Liao Jingchen, the elite school grass of Jingyue University, but so what? She knew that someone stepped on her skirt that night, so she had to struggle to find her balance, and thus unexpectedly danced with the popular lover - if she said that she had already danced the most beautiful duet before, and didn't care about the one with Liao Jingchen, would anyone believe it?

But that's the fact.

She had a crush on "Jingchen" in the online game, not Liao Jingchen, whom she had only met a few times in reality.

So as she said to Gan Xiaoyu, there was no need to pay attention to Wan Ning and the others, they were not worthy of her wasting time.

The biggest counterattack was to be yourself.

Jiang Rong understood, understood everything, she was just... a little aggrieved.

Who has a solid steel heart embedded in their chest? They are all made of flesh, and it's normal to feel pain.

So she told herself to cry, no matter how embarrassing it was to cry in the game, it was extremely safe, no one would know, and no one would find out that the powerful Jiang Rong also had a moment as fragile as tofu dregs, including Gan Xiaoyu, who was closest to her, would not feel that "Jiang Rong's personality collapsed."

Jiang Rong has learned from childhood that she should not show weakness in public. The weaker you are, the more you will be looked down upon, discriminated against, bullied, and taken advantage of. She knew that the law of society is the law of the jungle when she first stood in front of the head teacher and answered the question, "Why is the contact number in the father's column empty?" "Oh... so, okay, I know." The head teacher's eyes became obviously gentle at that time, full of sympathy and pity, as if a passerby who found a stray cat was willing to stop and feed it some ham sausage. But experienced stray cats know that such people will not take it home. As expected, that bit of kindness was expressed in a stupid way: the head teacher told the whole class at the class meeting that Jiang Rong was from a single-parent family, without a father, and it was not easy for an orphan and a widow to have a family, so everyone should take care of her more. There were sparse responses and subtle sneers from the audience. The head teacher was kind, but it was a pity that this did not prevent him from doing bad things with good intentions. He might have thought that Jiang Rong would get more help and care with his extra emphasis, but no, of course not. It is the nature of all creatures to bully the weak and fear the strong, and to seek benefits and avoid harm. Children who have not yet learned mature social norms are best at discovering who is the weakest in the crowd.

Jiang Rong, whose scars and weaknesses were exposed in public, had to become "sharp".

First of all, she had to study hard. The halo of an excellent student and the value represented by grades would make her be looked up to by teachers and schools. Secondly, she had to hold back and could not tell her mother or her teacher. The former could not help but would lose sleep, and even if the latter stood up for her for a while, she would add a few more "coward", "two-faced" and "complaint spirit" to the label of "no father", and then encourage the arrogance of those boring peers, making the situation worse.

Finally, she had to fight back.

Just like she kicked out her third uncle who came to matchmake for her mother with a broom handle, just like she put her hands on her waist and counted the male classmates who called her "tomboy", she was strong, arrogant, cold, and unkind. Her well-proportioned body did not show a graceful figure when she stood up, but a human-shaped solid ice.

No one could knock a crack on this ice, no one.

Even though the innermost ice core wrapped in a thick layer of ice was already riddled with holes.

When her father was still alive, her name on the household registration book was Jiang Rong.

Later, when she went to high school, Jiang Rong took the initiative to change the "Rong" in the hibiscus, which symbolizes beauty, fragrance, and beauty, to the "Rong" in the banyan tree.

Jiang Rong wanted to be a big tree.

The tree canopy is wide, providing shade and shelter for the mother; the lush branches and leaves prevent pests and diseases from invading.

She has long ceased to be the little girl who nestled in the arms of her parents and was loved by them.

If it weren't for the game bracelet that she got by chance, if it weren't for the online game called "Heart Shadow Link", Jiang Rong would not let "Rongrong" appear in this world again.

She stuffed the real self that was very different from the reality into the online game as a "back-up" to unfold the last piece of tolerant grassland when she couldn't hold on.

With the appearance of "Jingchen", the grassland became more and more vast, and every gust of wind blowing in the face was filled with full relaxation, comfort and security.

Jiang Rong didn't realize that "Rongrong" was also changing.

She could have thrown herself into his arms and cried, stammering out the injustice she had suffered during this period of time. "Jingchen" was her master, a man of few words and fierce, but he would not really harm her. Instead, he would teach her, care about her, give her equipment and take her dancing. So hiding in his arms and crying was not something that would be rejected or hated - Jiang Rong could vaguely feel this in her heart.

But she still chose to swallow the bitterness and made up an excuse to explain her loss of composure.

"... Yeah."

Judging from this slightly helpless response, "Jingchen" seemed to believe it.

He raised the Tang sword on his waist and said, "Wait here."

There are many small and trivial tasks in this hidden task chain [Searching for the Heart and Seeking the God], which does not require two players to be present at the same time. Previously, Jiang Rong was responsible for running errands and collecting task props, and "Jingchen" was responsible for taking action in key large-scale dungeons.

Now, Jiang Rong was "bullied so badly" by a transitional task, and even cried loudly. "Jingchen" took over her duties and disappeared in the corner in a few steps.

"Ah, okay..."

Jiang Rong felt a little relieved and embarrassed.

What kind of soft rabbit and white image is she in the eyes of her master!

Woo.

But the master is the number one boss in "Heart Shadow Link", and I'm afraid everyone is a rookie in his standards... right?

Jiang Rong rubbed her cheeks, which felt particularly good in the online game, and soon coaxed herself.

"Huh, really, I can't cry like this anymore, it's so embarrassing!"

She muttered softly, pulling her soft face again and again, "Woo! It hurts, it hurts..."

Rubbing herself painfully, Jiang Rong summoned the system light screen, skillfully switched to the character page, and checked the small screen to see if the tears on her face had completely disappeared.

Soon, two slightly yellowed and bloodstained goat horns approached from far away. Jiang Rong, who had completely regained her former vitality, jumped up from the ground and ran towards "Jingchen".

"Master is so powerful!"

She circled around the black goat, and he pressed one hand on her head, rubbing it all over.

"Uh."

Jiang Rong's previous excuse was not outrageous. This transition task was indeed a bit difficult compared to the previous ones, but she could pass it if she tried harder and tried a few more times. Now because of a lie, she had to trouble "Jingchen" to do it himself.

"Let's go." "Jingchen" said after getting the task props.

"Okay!"

As always, "Rongrong" took a short step and followed him with full healing.
