[Two Male Leads + Star-Crossed Love + Variety Show + Livestream]
[Idealistic Writer Who Was Betrayed x Selfish, Self-Serving Merchant]
Ji Cui Liu was invited to join the variety show Goodbye, Best Friend, and then fell in love with that bastard all over again.
Gu Ren was invited too. He hadn't wanted to go, but after thinking it over, he agreed because he could fake a couple image with Ji Cui Liu and gain popularity.
The entire internet exploded when people found out they were both participating.
To be fair, the netizens' reaction wasn't entirely unwarranted. The fact that these two might actually meet again in this lifetime was almost too incredible to imagine.
Ji Cui Liu, pen name Jin Nanliu, and Gu Ren, pen name Yan Yu. Twelve years ago, Gu Ren sold the world they had created together for money.
Back then, the two of them fought from Douban to Weibo, trading insults from forums to online communities. One exposé after another, Ji Cui Liu tearfully challenged Gu Ren, every word written in blood, while Gu Ren played the pitiful victim and shamelessly defended himself. Their pairing had an almost hellish appeal.
They'd thought they would never see each other again, but here they were.
In private, Ji Cui Liu glared at Gu Ren in fury. Gu Ren looked at him. "Why are you making that face? You'd think you hated me or something."
"I do hate you!"
During the show, countless viewers flooded the screen with comments:
"Yan Yu drove Ji Cui Liu away, now an old friend is hard to keep!"
"Careful, sis, Yan Yu might leave you heartbroken when you graduate."
"Yan Yu, can you stop putting your dark kinks into your protagonists?!"
"Wait, what? You two used to be together?!"
The netizens: ?
As the show aired, it seemed they let slip a rather shocking secret.
I actually planned to wait until the author made more updates before posting, but I couldn't help myself. The following are my personal thoughts: Just by reading the introduction, I already thought that the two would be entangled in front of the live broadcast and renew their relationship hahahaha. 🥰🥰[Admiration] As I did, I was thrilled. Let's first analyze the preliminary and background gains. It's really hard to reconcile this pair. It starts with talent and ends with the soul. From the revealed past, it can be seen that they have some agreement on artistic views, and even go deeper, and they can be regarded as confidants. Therefore, Brother Liu never forgets that even though he knew Gu's true appearance and knew that he was bad, he was selfish and betrayed his trust, even though he made a big fuss in order to seek cause and justice, and both of them were blacklisted and were not released for several years. I think the image of Liu is very similar to the kind of scholar who would die for a confidant and be happy for a confidant. Although Liu has always been said to be a bit licky, it actually comes more from his unwillingness to give up the good things he once had and the person who brought them to him, the rotten Bai Yueguang. He is a relatively naive (Gu believes) idealist, so he is often soft-hearted, and his friends are angry at him, but this also proves that he is an idealist. Gu Ren, actually I think the most interesting thing is the contrast between his name and his character. He is benevolent but not benevolent. The description of him in the introduction is selfish and high-sounding, but his name is indeed the word benevolence. I really don't find it interesting, hahahaha. From Ji Ciliu's point of view, he is an out-and-out betrayer, but his past experiences are not necessarily false. Brother Liu still remembers reading Gu Ren's article, sending him a message and getting a response. To be honest, if the author I like is very busy but is still willing to respond to me, I will be more excited than him. It's a pity that my perspective is Brother Liu. Brother Liu here is Bai Yueguang, but he is rotten. No matter what happened in the past, he is rotten. I can't stop missing and being soft-hearted, but he has changed. And I have a question: idealists will run into obstacles everywhere in reality, while selfish people live a prosperous life. But here, it is the selfish and high-sounding Gu Ren who is scolded by the whole network, while the one who is sympathized and praised is the idealist Ji Jiliu. Finally, I will talk about their image in my mind: That day, Gu Maomao went fishing with fish food. As soon as he put down the fishing rod, the willow fish bit the hook. Gu: emmm, it seems I didn't put any fish food Liu: He came to me, I bite So Gu Maomao started fishing repeatedly to tease him, and Liu Huihui took the bait softly. Hey ;-)
