Chapter 53 The Chain Reaction of the Viral Short Drama

As soon as He Qian and Wang Xiaoming entered the basement, they saw four people laughing loudly while holding their phones, seemingly looking at something.

"No, Sister Ye is still here. You guys are watching porn in the basement?"

Liu Yifan rolled his eyes and said to He Qian, "Old He, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Although we brothers treat you as a good brother, you also have to consider my wife's feelings."

'

Liu Ye nudged Liu Yifan, signaling him to stop joking like that. She then went to He Qian's side and said, "Come and look! Can you guess who's in this short play?"

The original content was released in the Ugly Country, but their account tried posting a video edited by Liu Zhongze, which unexpectedly generated a huge amount of traffic. So they wanted to have their cake and eat it too, so that this short video account could also upload short dramas.

He Qian saw the plot involving the president of the Ugly Country. She hissed, her subconscious telling her there was a problem, but the characters and plot she saw made her oblivious to the existence of that problem.

"Strange, very strange, extremely strange!"

He Qian uttered three strange words in a row. The person in her eyes was in serious conflict with someone in her memory. The strong sense of separation made He Qian more and more confused.

Wang Xiaoming also came over. He pointed at the screen, his mouth agape, as if a name was about to slip out, but he couldn't remember it no matter what.

Li Yun chuckled and said, "Here's a hint: the person you've met before."

It wasn't until the sixth episode that He Qian realized, "Isn't that Liu Zhongze? I think I saw him on this account before. This time it wasn't a solo shot, so I really didn't recognize him."

"Huh? He's Liu Zhongze? Really? Did they cut off his jawline?"

Seeing Wang Xiaoming's shocked expression, the four people in the basement immediately burst into laughter.

Wang Tao's chest swelled up as if he had applied a plaster. He laughed and said, "Haha, Xiaoming, I had a similar expression to you just now. None of the four of us were sure that this person was Liu Zhongze. But then we saw someone in the comments section tag Liu Zhongze and his girlfriend's accounts, and after comparing them, we were able to confirm it."

Wang Tao clicked on the Zhongying account on the screen, where a new video had been posted. It was extracted from a short drama and could be more direct and emotionally impactful.

"Hey, this video wasn't here just now. Looks like Liu Zhongze's girlfriend has a fast internet speed; she finished Liu Zhongze's solo video so quickly."

He Qian said, "Of course, Lin Luoying is an excellent blogger, but I don't know why she's not popular. Let me see the comments section."

silence!

The group of people who were just laughing and joking around froze after clicking on the video.

The comment section was filled with older women, one of whom posted a photo of a man in a wedding dress and commented: "Lin Luoying, you're not allowed to touch my brother anymore. If you dare touch him, I'll send you razor blades!"

A man posted a photo of himself with Liu Zhongze's name tattooed on his chest, commenting, "Brother Liu Zhongze, please guide me for the rest of my life~"

There were also some older women, who, despite having a round face with a beard, nestled happily against the chest of the AI-generated Liu Zhongze, with the caption: "A lifetime of happiness."

The six people felt their worldviews were being shattered; they had never seen so many comments from the old lady. Halfway through watching, the video suddenly disappeared.

"this..."

---

In order to regain the strong body he had in his previous life, Liu Zhongze spent most of the day training, except for the food he bought on his way back in the morning to stave off hunger, and he didn't pay attention to the changes outside.

A cell phone suddenly rang, startling him. He went over to look and found that it was Lin Luoying calling.

"Waaah..."

As soon as the call connected, Lin Luoying burst into tears. She cried for a long time without hearing Liu Zhongze's voice.

She asked, "Are you there?"

"Hmm, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Liu Zhongze's instinctive concern made Lin Luoying, who was already heartbroken, feel even more aggrieved.

She choked up as she said, "Didn't you go and act in that short play?"

"Um."

"I saw that your short drama was uploaded over there, so I spent a dozen yuan to watch it. I found that your acting skills are very good now, so good that I wasn't even sure if it was you. In the end, I compared the person in the short drama with the person in the last video, and then I was relieved."

Liu Zhongze asked in confusion, "Is there anything here that requires crying?"

Unexpectedly, Lin Luoying burst into even louder sobs. She said, "It's just... I wanted to promote you and market your image properly, but when I posted a video of you, a lot of gay men came to scold me, saying that I'm not good enough to be with you, and that I shouldn't ruin your relationship. They said you're a born gay man."

Lin Luoying wiped her nose, sobbed a couple of times, and then continued, "I was so angry that I started arguing with them in private messages, but they used increasingly offensive language and even reported our accounts. Isn't that bullying? Waaah..."

After listening quietly, Liu Zhongze realized that the short drama had become a hit. He thought for a moment and comforted her, "That was just a character I played. It has little to do with me personally. Some characters may leave a deep impression on people. Don't take it too seriously. Let's just live our own lives."

In the past two days, Lin Luoying has sent Liu Zhongze many messages, but Liu Zhongze hasn't read them. If Lin Luoying hadn't called, Liu Zhongze might not have checked.

Liu Zhongze knew in his heart that the original owner of this body was not very popular. Apart from Lin Luoying, the lover he had coaxed, and his family who shared the same bloodline, almost no one cared about him.

This was an extremely terrifying thing for the original owner, who was vain and desperately craved attention and admiration from others.

Liu Zhongze's way of comforting people was very old-fashioned, nothing more than reasoning with them or ignoring them. This is something that can be seen in many young people in the 80s, whose values ​​from that era were deeply ingrained.

But Lin Luoying didn't reject it. She had finally managed to talk to Liu Zhongze, and even if she had nothing to say, she would try to find something to talk about, just hoping to hear his voice more often to ease her longing.

dong dong dong.

There was a sudden knock on the door. Liu Zhongze said, "Someone here is looking for me, so I can't talk to you today. Don't take it too seriously. I'll have plenty of work to do in the future. People will always have to comment on me, good or bad. I can only accept it all. I can understand them."

"Um."

Liu Zhongze hung up the phone, went to the door, and saw He Qian and the other six people through the peephole.

As soon as he opened the door, Chen Fengqi rushed out from the side, and seven people rushed into his room, looking him up and down.

Chen Fengqi couldn't help but speak up: "You keep saying I'm gay, are you looking for a lover for yourself? If I hadn't seen that short drama, I wouldn't have imagined you were this kind of person!"

Chen Fengqi put on the act of a weak woman, and Liu Zhongze kicked her.
