Chapter 65 Falling in Love
Zhao Jinmai practically floated home the whole way.
As soon as I entered the house, my agent, Sister Wang, blocked the entrance and kept muttering, "My little darling, where did you run off to?"
She won't answer the phone. What if the paparazzi take pictures of her?
Zhao Jinmai let the words go in one ear and out the other, her fingers unconsciously rubbing the phone screen, unable to suppress the smile on her lips.
She herself couldn't figure it out.
With her gentle nature, she always maintained a proper distance from strangers.
Moreover, it's on WeChat, specifically a private account known only to a few close friends.
This is absolutely unprecedented.
But when she looked into Yu Chen's eyes, she felt inexplicably at ease.
Those eyes held no fawning over her status, no fanaticism for a celebrity, only an indescribable calm and depth.
It's like an ancient well, calm and still, yet seemingly reflecting countless stars.
"Sister Wang, do you think I was too rash?" Zhao Jinmai suddenly asked.
Sister Wang rolled her eyes: "More than reckless! Absolutely outrageous! But—" Sister Wang leaned closer to examine her face, "Why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?"
"N-nothing!" Zhao Jinmai hurriedly dodged away, burying her burning cheeks in the hoodie, her heart pounding like a drum.
She secretly went to see the unconscious man and gave him her contact information.
This behavior is like a teenage girl doing something silly.
But that's what she wanted to do.
"Yu Chen————" She silently repeated the name in her heart, and the smile on her lips deepened.
The hospital procedures were completed very quickly.
Because Yu Chen's various physical examination indicators were all exceptionally good, the doctor could not find a reason to keep him in the hospital for observation, so he could only have him sign a bunch of waivers before letting him go.
Stepping out of the hospital, the 2026 sunlight was somewhat dazzling.
Yu Chen took a deep breath. There was no smell of car exhaust from the industrial park, nor the fragrance of flowers and plants from the old courtyard. There was only the unique smell of the city, a mixture of car exhaust and the fumes from making jianbing (Chinese crepes).
He hailed a taxi and gave them the address he knew all too well.
Half an hour later, downstairs in a rented house in an urban village.
This is a "handshake building," where the distance between buildings is so narrow that underwear on the clothesline opposite can brush against your nose.
Yu Chen stood downstairs, looking at the familiar, peeling iron gate, feeling a mix of emotions.
How long ago was the last time I stood here?
Yu Chen took out his key and opened the door.
The room is small, about 30 square meters, with a bed, a table, and a simple wardrobe.
There was an unfinished instant noodle cup on the table, emitting a sour bamboo shoot smell.
Yu Chen frowned, skillfully threw the instant noodle bucket into the trash can, and opened the window for ventilation.
"System," Yu Chen muttered to himself, "What should I do next? Issue a task immediately?"
【ding~】
[Host, the system is currently in free mode. The next time you travel through time, you will need to trigger it yourself.]
"Triggers automatically? How does it trigger?"
[The rules are simple: The host only needs to find a romantic drama/movie in the real world that you absolutely want to criticize, and then give it a highly negative review (criticism).]
When the number of complaints reaches a certain threshold, the passage will open.
Yu Chen was taken aback: "So, I have to find a romance drama and rant about it first?"
"Anyone can do that!" Yu Chen laughed.
He picked up his phone and opened the Tencent Video app.
With the current quality of TV dramas and movies, finding one that people can criticize is easier than breathing.
The top-ranked show is a drama called "Falling in Love with Us".
He had read the novel "In Love".
On the poster, Liu Haocun and Wang Anyu are smiling brightly, radiating youthful energy and sunshine.
"This is it! Let's see if you can fall in love with it!"
He clicked play.
The plot of the first few episodes was quite smooth, and the male and female leads were indeed good-looking.
But as the plot progressed, especially when it came to those so-called "famous scenes," Yu Chen began to feel that something was wrong.
When he saw the male and female leads looking at each other in the rain, the atmosphere was clearly right, but then the camera switched and they kissed someone in mid-air, which was just a pretense.
When he saw that the "kissing maniac" setting in the novel was changed to a dragonfly skimming the water with leaves in the final film;
When he saw those so-called "extreme tug-of-war" moments, he realized they were actually awkward situations caused by the screenwriter's forced intellectual deflation and lack of communication.
"I'll blanch it—"
Yu Chen looked at the "kissing scene" on the screen, which was completely obscured by leaves, and felt terrible.
He quickly took out his phone and searched for related videos criticizing the situation.
"Dating is boring, kissing is boring, kissing while dating is boring, but kissing when not dating is incredibly exciting!"
"Are the kissing scenes in this drama just a game of 'spot the difference'—using camera tricks, obscuring details, and fast cuts?"
"It was supposed to be a sweet drama, but it's as sweet as plain water, the kind that's been sitting out for three days!"
After reading these comments, Yu Chen felt that the primal force within him could no longer be contained.
"Are you serious about this show?!" Yu Chen roared at his phone screen. "In the original novel, Xu Zhi is a kissing maniac, but in the show, they don't even touch lips?"
"Are you trying to fool the audience with these tricks of camera angles and obscuring viewer's eyes?"
"This isn't 'falling in love,' it's clearly falling out of love!"
Yu Chen cursed as he frantically scrolled through the bullet comments and messages, his anger level instantly soaring to its peak.
"Has this screenwriter lost their mind? Has this director never been in a relationship? This is clearly a scam! A complete fraud!"
[Ding~ Host has developed a strong urge to criticize the TV series "Falling in Love with Us".]
[Complaints are accumulating —]
[Complaint threshold reached!]
The passageway is now open.
The mechanical voice in his mind suddenly rang out, interrupting Yu Chen's roar.
Yu Chen paused for a moment, staring at the male and female protagonists still "fake kissing" on the phone screen, and his lips twitched.
Is that all?
"System, prepare to transmigrate!"
[Ding~ Please select time travel mode:]
[1. Soul Transmigration (Paid Achievement Points: 0). Random timeline, random identity (Passerby A/B/C).]
[2. Wearing [equipment/clothing] (Achievement Points: 100,000). The timeline can be customized; the earlier the story begins, the higher the achievement point price.]
Yu Chen frowned as he looked at the semi-transparent light screen that appeared before him.
Soul transmigration? Random identity?
If you were randomly assigned to be a doorman or an extra, how would you get by?
Wearing? 100,000 achievement points?
His current achievement points balance seems to be around 10000.
"Spending 100,000 to buy a comfort zone—" Yu Chen gritted his teeth, "It's worth it! Anyway, I have memories of two lifetimes, so earning achievement points will be easier in the future!"
"System, I want to choose my outfit! I want a customized timeline!"
[Ding~ Please select the target timeline:]
Several options popped up on the screen.
A. One year before the start of the story (Price: 100000)
B. 3 years before the start of the story (Price: 150000)
C. 5 years before the start of the story (Price: 250000)
Yu Chen looked at the options and fell into deep thought.
One year before the story begins?
He's only in his second year of high school.
Experiencing high school life sounds pretty good.
"What about identity creation?"
A. Chen Luzhou's family (Price: 1000000)
B. Xu Family Member (Price: 0)
C. Business tycoon (Price: 1000)
D. Wearing a local senior high school student ID (Price: 100000)
"System, I want to use this body to go to the year before the story begins!"
[Ding~ 100000 achievement points deducted.]
[Current remaining achievement points: 1450000.]
[Locking in timeline: Target world "Falling in Love with Us"]
[Time Anchor: One year before the start of the story.]
[Identity being verified: A high school transfer student whose parents have both passed away.]
[Identity generation in progress————]
[Congratulations, host! Your identity in the new world has been generated.]
Yu Chen felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, as if his body was being pulled by a powerful force, plunging into an endless abyss.
"Wait! My parents are gone again! System, you jerk—!"
Before he could even ask the question, his consciousness was completely plunged into darkness.
