After Luo Nanchen left with Mo Xiujie and Dong Peirong, and no one knew where they went, Zou Lvrui couldn't wait to pull Lin Qiao and find a secluded corner.
"What on earth did that Mo Xiujie mean by the male protagonist?"
Lin Qiao was absent - minded. "Oh, you mean this..."
Actually, what was still lingering in her mind was the scene when Luo Nanchen left just now.
What on earth had happened that Luo Nanchen didn't even dare to tell her?
... Could it be that Meng Erliu was up to something again?
But if they were dealing with Meng Erliu, shouldn't they come and ask her, a former colleague of Meng Erliu from the 21st century?
Zou Lvrui tapped Lin Qiao. "Be serious. This is a very important matter."
Lin Qiao came back to her senses. "It was what Meng Erliu said. Meng Erliu is the one who had an affair with the Empress Dowager in the original work. Just like in the original work, he is now plotting a rebellion. In order to let Luo Nanchen know that he is just a character in a story and to make Luo Nanchen suffer, he told everything."
"Of course I know Meng Erliu. How could I not know the characters I created..." Zou Lvrui mumbled. "By the way, what was Luo Nanchen's reaction?"
Just talking about this made Lin Qiao angry. "What do you think his reaction was? What was his reaction when you spilled our secret back then?"
Zou Lvrui felt a bit guilty. "Well, that was because... at that time, think about it. Who would dare to disobey Luo Nanchen's order? Besides, I saw that he was really sincere to you, so I told him."
Lin Qiao snorted.
"Really. If Luo Nanchen hadn't threatened me with my life back then, I would have really kept my mouth shut..."
Lin Qiao: "..."
Sure enough, she was afraid of death.
But telling all this would make Luo Nanchen very sad, right?
Although she had never regarded Luo Nanchen as just a character in a story.
From the first time she knew that Luo Nanchen knew about this, she had clearly stated her position.
But Lin Qiao knew that although Luo Nanchen pretended to be calm on the surface, in fact, there must have been countless moments of self - doubt.
Doubting that his achievements were just casually written, doubting that his tragic childhood was just a foreshadowing for his future glory, and doubting that his life was just like a puppet in a shadow play.
However, if Luo Nanchen didn't have more perseverance than ordinary people, more outstanding courage than ordinary people, and more hard - working efforts than ordinary people.
Then Luo Nanchen wouldn't be Luo Nanchen, and definitely not the male protagonist.
Those who become the protagonists are usually not because of the talents and luck given by the author, but because of their own characters and spirits.
Just like the villains.
Many villains also have outstanding looks and extraordinary talents. If they behaved well, they would surely achieve something.
But in the end, they were all ruined by their unwillingness, greed, and themselves.
Just like Meng Erliu. He could have been a great general in the northwest, leading a free and unrestrained life on the battlefield. But he always had his eyes on Luo Nanchen's throne, and in the end, he lost everything.
... By the way, thinking of Meng Erliu, Lin Qiao remembered an even more important thing.
"I tell you, I saw your laptop. It was with Meng Erliu."
Zou Lvrui: "???"
Lin Qiao nodded. "Yes, you heard me right. It was your laptop, with Meng Erliu. But we came back in a hurry and didn't get it back."
Zou Lvrui seemed to see hope. "Really? Is it a Lenovo laptop? Is there a Crayon Shin - chan sticker on it? Are the WASD keys almost worn out? Is there a scratch on the back? Is the desktop wallpaper SpongeBob? Is the input method a duck with the words 'Stay calm' on it???"
The series of questions left Lin Qiao a bit dazed. "Wait a minute, let me think..."
At that time, she was risking her life, and with Meng Erliu around, she was only focused on how to get through the situation. She really didn't pay much attention.
But it was indeed a Lenovo, and a very expensive model. It was not only thin and light but also had a very fast boot - up speed...
She was digressing.
Lin Qiao felt both pity and anger. "Is this the time to care if it's your laptop? Shouldn't we care where Meng Erliu got your laptop from?"
Zou Lvrui nodded innocently. "Of course... Who cares how he got it? If it's my laptop, I can just modify it, and then we can go home. Don't you want to go home?"
Lin Qiao was silent for a moment.
She really didn't miss home that much.
What was there in her home in the 21st century? Cold white walls, a ticking clock, gray floors, and a messy bedroom.
... And a residential area at risk of gas explosion at any time.
There was nothing that she missed.
Lin Qiao didn't answer directly. "If I write something on that laptop, will it really come true?"
Zou Lvrui nodded. "Should be. Didn't I create this world?"
"But it didn't develop as you wrote..."
Zou Lvrui noticed something was wrong with Lin Qiao. "Hey, why are you so absent - minded and listless? Isn't it a good thing that we can go home? I can write you and Luo Nanchen back."
Lin Qiao asked again, "What if I write it? Will it come true?"
After all, those random things she wrote had all come true in Endian Cheng Julin. There was the blue grassland, the little white rabbit that was not afraid of wolves, and the flying goldfish.
Zou Lvrui also didn't quite understand and said uncertainly, "Should be. What did you write?"
Suddenly, Lin Qiao realized a more important problem. "Oh no..."
"What's wrong?"
"I wrote on your laptop that Luo Nanchen would lose his memory..."
"Damn it..."
