208: Chapter 208 Killing Chickens and Slaughtering Dogs

After the first episode ended, those who could continue watching the second episode were all members.

Whether they were fans or Haters, a large portion of them had signed up for membership for the sake of Lin Chuyan.

However, at this moment, dissatisfied bullet comments were popping up all over the video.

Except for those 30 seconds in the first episode, Lin Chuyan hadn't appeared even once in the second episode. Many fans who came for him didn't even notice those 30 seconds in the first episode and began to question their life choices.

[No, where is my brother???]

[I didn't see him. What happened to the promised lead role? What's going on?]

[The other two people in the special cast, Li Xinran and Liu Yi, both appeared in the first episode, and they had quite a bit of screen time...]

[No, this show has 12 episodes in total, and yet the younger brother hasn't appeared in the first two? Is this reasonable?]

[He appeared, but for less than a minute. Director, you have no conscience! You didn't even give us a proper front-facing shot!]

The Haters were already popping champagne at halftime.

[Hilarious. Is this what Lin Chuyan meant by 'lead role'? He's starring in nothing.]

[No wonder he posted on Weibo saying we'd definitely enjoy it. Turns out it's a mute role + little screen time. Brothers, we can watch with peace of mind.]

[Lin Chuyan is really going all the way down the villain path. He's either killing people or on his way to dump a body.]

[Sure, sure. With this career path, we don't need to look forward to his "a moment of romance" anymore. And he's supposed to be the male lead? It's over.]

Watching the Haters' comments, the fans were honestly quite anxious; after all, they had signed up for the membership specifically for Lin Chuyan.

But being anxious was useless; what else could they do? There was another episode, might as well keep watching.

Fortunately, the show was good enough. After two episodes, those who understood drama had already gotten a taste of it: wait, isn't the quality a bit too high?

Great acting from the entire cast, great Lines, great plot—that goes without saying.

Many were amazed by the director's ability—the show's plot was divided into three time periods to unfold the narrative: 1997, 1998, and 2016. The most impressive part was that, except for the very beginning, there were no text prompts when switching between time periods. Yet, it wasn't confusing at all to watch. That was where the real skill lay.

Awesome. Let's keep watching then. I don't believe Lin Chuyan won't be in the third episode! If he's still not there, we're sending razor blades to the director!

The plot continued. The female lead, Shen Mo, played by Li Xinran, went to work part-time playing the Piano at the Victoria Dance Hall, but was asked by a drunk patron to play "The Love of a Tracker".

A Piano version of "The Love of a Tracker".

Shen Mo was stubborn and simply said she couldn't. No matter how the patron cursed, humiliated her, or threw money at her face, she stuck to two words: "No."

Just as the patron was about to rush up and hit her, the manager of Victoria fortunately persuaded him to stop with gentle words, and she escaped a disaster.

The bullet comments were originally feeling indignant for Shen Mo, but then the camera cut away, suddenly focusing on the patron. He was driving on his way home, humming "Grudges and grievances, the tracking rope swings back and forth" along the way.

Then, a motorcycle suddenly rushed out from a side alley, crashing directly into the patron's car, then drove in front of him and blocked his path horizontally.

Sui Dong, played by Su He, made his entrance.

[I know this guy! He killed people with Lin Chuyan in "the hovering blade"! I forgot his name!]

[Holy crap! Is my brother finally coming?]

[Lin Chuyan! Lin Chuyan! Lin Chuyan!!!]

[Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up!!!]

The patron got out of the car: "Are you blind? How are you riding that bike!"

But catching a glimpse of Sui Dong's face in the night, he felt a bit intimidated.

Sui Dong also got out of the car, hands in his pockets: "Brother, brother, I-I'm sorry, I couldn't hold it back."

Seeing Sui Dong's apologetic smile, the patron felt reassured and started checking his car: "Look at how you've dented my car."

Sui Dong smiled and took a cigarette out of his pocket, handing it over: "Calm down, have a smoke."

The patron knocked the cigarette out of his hand: "Smoke your mom, why would I smoke!"

Sui Dong was still smiling.

Seeing his smiling face, the patron became even more irritated: "No, what are you smiling at?"

He began to extend his index finger, pointing at Sui Dong's forehead, his voice growing louder: "I asked you, what the f*ck are you smiling at!"

Sui Dong put his hands behind his back, his eyes playful. He stared at the other person for a moment, then let out a scoff and spoke, still with a slight stutter: "Brother, don't... don't bring up my mother when talking, be civilized... you, me, him, I advise you to take that back."

The patron slapped Sui Dong across the face: "I said it!"

Sui Dong had his hands in his pockets, a smile still hanging on his face.

So, the patron grabbed his collar and slapped him again, this time with more force: "I f*cking said it! So what?"

The camera began to pan to the right.

Two more motorcycles drove over from the alley behind, one carrying another, totaling four people, surrounding the patron.

They were clearly on Sui Dong's side.

Even after being slapped twice, Sui Dong's smile never stopped from beginning to end, but it looked a bit chilling now: "Brother, that's... that's not right of you."

Courtesy first, then force; winning people over with virtue.

[You have to admit, Su He is acting quite well...]

[Mainly because his face is quite scary. If I were walking at night and saw someone who looked like that, I'd have to kneel down to him...]

"Little brat, playing an ambush on me here? Do you know what I like best, brother? A lively crowd."

The patron was still smiling, but he was actually a bit panicked by now, clearly putting on a brave front. He walked to the trunk of his car, pulled out an iron rod, and pointed it at the people opposite: "Come on, bring it on!"

Just as the two sides were in a standoff, Fu Weijun, played by Lin Chuyan, finally made his entrance.

[He's coming!!!]

[Holy crap, the handsome guy is here!]

[Fu Weijun is here!]

Fu Weijun was wearing a school uniform. He walked from behind the patron to the front of the camera, then stopped in front of the motorcycle. He touched the motorcycle's rearview mirror, as if choosing a suitable... weapon?

He had his hands in his pockets, head bowed, walking step by step to the patron, stood still, and then looked up.

What kind of look was that?

No smile, no coldness, no hatred, no pity. It seemed like there was nothing there, yet it wasn't the kind of deadpan expression that was just a stagnant pool of water.

If one had to describe it... that look was like he was watching a dead man.

What's there to argue about with a dead man?

At this moment, the patron held an iron rod, and Fu Weijun had his hands in his pockets, but in terms of aura, Fu Weijun was more than ten times stronger than his opponent.

[Why do I feel like Lin Chuyan looks even scarier than Su He?]

[+10086]

[Good grief, the "the hovering blade" teenage murderer duo is collaborating again, right?]

Fu Weijun looked at the iron rod pointing at him in the other person's hand and suddenly smiled. He bowed his head again, then picked up a motorcycle rearview mirror that had fallen to the ground, gently wiped it on his school uniform, looked up at Sui Dong, and began to use Sign Language with one hand: "Why are you talking to him so much?"

Sui Dong also used Sign Language: "I'm just teasing him."

Fu Weijun used his left hand to pinch Sui Dong's chin, lifting his face up, observing him from left to right, as if checking if he had been injured by the patron just now.

[???]

[What kind of niche pairing is this?]

[Holy crap, Lin Chuyan, what are you doing pinching Su He's chin?]

[Holy crap, he's so doting on him!]

[Holy crap, Su He's face is so scary, why does he suddenly look so shy?]

[Holy crap, why do I find this so shippable!]

The patron couldn't help but speak up at this point. The situation didn't feel right, and he wanted to run: "Hey, hey, what kind of group are you guys? And you brought a mute? Let me tell you, brother doesn't have time to play with you today, I'll let you off the hook."

But what he didn't notice was that while he was talking, Fu Weijun had already started taking off his hearing aid with his left hand.

This was the opening move.

The patron turned to open the car door, preparing to leave.

Fu Weijun's expression suddenly turned fierce.

He moved.

In the instant before anyone could react, Fu Weijun took three steps in two, raised the motorcycle rearview mirror in his right hand high, and with the full force of his body, swung it fiercely at the patron's skull!

The patron let out a muffled grunt. Just from that single blow, he couldn't even get back up.

That wasn't enough. Fu Weijun didn't stop. The rearview mirror in his right hand swung from bottom to top, diagonally at a 45-degree angle, striking the other person's face again!

The patron couldn't even make a sound, and his whole body was beaten until he collapsed onto the trunk of the car.

Fu Weijun's face remained expressionless. He didn't stop, but instead turned the patron's body back to the front, grabbed the other person's collar with his left hand, held the rearview mirror horizontally in his right hand, clenched his fist, and smashed it straight into the other person's face.

The patron collapsed to the ground, no longer moving, with only his feet still twitching slightly.

These three moves—a swing, a flick, and a smash—were so fluid that everyone watching felt satisfied.

[Combat! Satisfying!]

[Good, good, good, he's clearly not a villain this time! He's beating up a bad guy!]

[My brother's combat power is still fierce, this time it's finally the iron fist of justice!]

[Not appearing for two episodes, and then so cool upon his first entrance?]

[This is what you call 'ruthless but speaks little'! The mute is so sexy, ahhh!]

[Nice, nice. Gentle to his brothers! Ruthless to his enemies! Fu Weijun is awesome!]

[Haters, say something now!!!]

[I declare that Fu Weijun is my new husband!!]

At this moment, Fu Weijun had a gesture of wiping sweat, as if those three hits were too hard and had used up most of his strength. Just as he was about to continue beating the person, Sui Dong behind him pulled him back.

He couldn't hit him anymore, any more and something bad would happen.

Fu Weijun looked back at him and understood what he meant.

So, he straightened his body and put his hearing aid back on.

His expression was calm, as if he had just slaughtered a chicken or a dog. He didn't look at the ground again and turned to leave.

And the number of bullet comments for "the long season" reached its peak at this moment.

Overwhelming, almost covering the entire video.
