This top guy is crazy!

Chapter 593 "The Legend of the White Snake" Released 3

Next, Xu Xian boarded the boat. In order to create a chance encounter, Xiao Qing turned her back, secretly made a hand gesture with her fingertips, and gently blew on the clear sky!
All of a sudden!
The once clear sky suddenly turned dark with clouds! Large raindrops pelted down, and a white mist rose from the lake! Pedestrians on the shore cried out and scattered in panic.

The two women, one in blue and one in white, called out from the shore:
"Shopkeeper, stop for a moment, stop for a moment!"

Seeing the two women in green and white calling out in the rain, Xu Xian immediately shouted to the boatman, "Boatman, wait! There are two more young ladies on the shore getting soaked in the rain. Quickly, bring them ashore and invite them onto the boat to take shelter from the rain!"

The boatman said, "I don't mind. As long as you don't find it troublesome, I'll row across."

The small boat nimbly turned around and docked.

Xiaoqing helped Bai Suzhen, whose hair was soaked by the rain, and pretended to be surprised and embarrassed as they boarded the boat.

"Oh dear!" Xiaoqing exaggeratedly patted the water droplets off her sleeves, her gaze falling on Xu Xian. "Isn't this... that kind young master on the shore? What a coincidence!"

Xu Xian recognized them as well, smiled gently, and cupped his hands in greeting:
"So it's two young ladies. The rain is heavy, please come inside and sit down."

This version of Xu Xian is so gentle and polite!

I love it! It's so much better than Xu Xian, the mere plot device in Green Snake.

Your Ancient Style Boyfriend

Little White looks so beautiful in the rain!

This version of Xiaoqing and Xiaobai is also very good-looking.

Xiaoqing deliberately caused trouble again, letting a gust of wind and waves blow, making the small boat rock violently! Xu Xian, who was not able to stand steadily, stumbled and cried out, "Ouch!" and bumped straight into Bai Suzhen's arms!
Xu Xian blushed and apologized repeatedly:
"My apologies! My apologies! I had no intention of doing this!"

He was so embarrassed that he almost wanted to disappear. To avoid suspicion, he hurriedly grabbed an old umbrella from the bow of the boat and said hastily, "The cabin is cramped. I... I'd like to go to the bow for some fresh air!"

After saying that, he fled to the deck and held an umbrella by himself.

Seeing this, Bai Suzhen glared at Xiaoqing reproachfully, blaming Xiaoqing for her misbehavior, for taking advantage of someone else's boat, and then kicking them out.

Xiaoqing pouted, looking very aggrieved: "I was just testing whether he was really honest!"

Just then, the boatman, rowing his oars, began to sing leisurely, his voice carrying through the rain, exceptionally melodious:

“Ahh~
Ahh~
West Lake beauty in March
Spring rain is like wine, willows are like smoke~

【What?! The boatman is here too?!】

The old boatman had a good voice.

[Out of the blue! I sprayed water all over the screen!]

[Is everyone in this show a singer?]

[The arrangement is amazing! It captures the essence of traditional opera, but it's not at all outdated! So sophisticated!]

[Warning: This is surprisingly good! I was confused at first, but the more I listened, the more I appreciated it!]

Inside the cabin, Xiaoqing's eyes lit up, and she joined the boatman in a "duet" with her clear, melodious, and slightly coquettish voice:
"Those destined to meet will find each other even from a thousand miles away."

The boatmen sang in a duet: "Destined to be apart, we can't even hold hands when we're face to face."

The boatman's answer was excellent; it's a pity he didn't pursue the imperial examinations.

Xiaoqing: "It takes ten years of cultivation to share a boat ride."

Boatman: "A hundred years of cultivation brings us to share this pillow."

Xiaoqing: "If it's a thousand years, then there's good fortune."

Boatman: "We'll grow old together, our hearts united."

Xiaoqing: "If it's a thousand years, then there's good fortune."

Boatman: "We'll grow old together, our hearts united."

Xiaoqing: La la la la la~

Boatman: La la la la la~

[Was this boatman one of the earliest touts?]

[I'm on the pirate ship, hahaha!]

My fairy was terrified.

Boys need to protect themselves when they're out and about.

[The lyrics are too elegant] Taking this opportunity, Bai Suzhen used her magic to see Xu Xian's past lives. In his past lives, he was an honest and upright high-ranking official, a chivalrous knight who eliminated evil and brought peace, a strategist who planned and commanded, a leader of an uprising who rallied the people, a lawyer who spoke up for the people, and a merchant who was honest with everyone.

Through a thousand years of reincarnation and countless identity changes, his kindness remains constant.

Wow, Xu Xian is such a good guy!

Is this the pinnacle of male lead character design in Chinese dramas?

Is this tracing back ten generations?

Until Bai Suzhen saw one of Xu Xian's past lives, a little shepherd boy of about seven or eight years old wearing a coarse cloth jacket, who saved a small, snow-white snake that was struggling in panic from a snake catcher.

The audience finally realized why the Bodhisattva had mentioned any favors; it was a life-saving grace.

This adaptation is great! It's about the White Snake repaying a debt of gratitude.

It's a cycle of fate.

[That's great! It makes the motivation of 'repaying kindness' concrete and reasonable!]

Oh my god, I'm so touched!

I got goosebumps.

[Past lives and present lives are already predetermined]

When I was a child, I also saved a snake. When will I repay this kindness? I'm already prepared.

[Fine, fine, you all want to be a chivalrous outlaw, huh?]

In front of the screen, a screenwriter who had previously been certain that "random adaptations will inevitably fail" was also watching "The Legend of the White Snake".

Of course, he came with a critical mindset of "let's see what tricks you can come up with".

As a result, the opening special effects left him speechless, the aesthetics of their encounter on the broken bridge left him speechless, the actors' precise performances astonished him, and now the relationship between Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen had been redesigned into the popular "three lifetimes" trope—he was completely overwhelmed! He slammed his fist on the table:
"Grass! (a plant)"

"Are you making a TV series or organizing a music exhibition?!"

Special effects! Background music! Costumes and props! Acting! Nostalgia! You want it all?!

"Are you even leaving any room for your competitors to survive?! You have absolutely no sense of martial ethics!"

Then, we arrive at the classic scene from "The Legend of the White Snake"—borrowing an umbrella.

Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing disembarked and turned to face Xu Xian:

"I am truly grateful to Young Master Meng for allowing me to take shelter from the rain."

Xu Xian quickly returned the greeting with a cupped hand, his ears turning slightly red: "You flatter me, Miss. It was nothing, not worth mentioning."

He paused, his gaze falling on the old oil-paper umbrella in his hand. He then looked at the sky and said gently, "The rain has lessened, but the journey is still long. If you don't mind, please take this umbrella to cover yourself and avoid getting wet."

Bai Suzhen didn't immediately take it; she looked up and asked:

"And what about the young master?"

Xu Xian said, "It's alright, miss, please take it and use it."

Xiaoqing asked from the side:

"If you lend us your umbrella, how should we return it to you?"

Xu Xian said, "I'll go get it when the weather clears up."

Xiaoqing: "It's a deal then. Bai Mansion in Shuangcha Alley, it's a deal, don't forget!"

[Gold Medal Support]

[Borrow and return, an old trick for picking up girls]

Bai Suzhen finally accepted the umbrella, turning her head slightly to the side: "Thank you... thank you, young master."

Xu Xian's voice was also a little strained, and he didn't know where to look: "Miss, you don't need to be so polite."

[Both of them blushed! The God of Pure Love collapsed to the ground!]
