Stargazer's Feelings; A Subtle Confession (Continued)
"I'm sorry..." the Captain, feeling a lump in his throat.
"Why apologize, Mr. Assassin?"
"If it weren't for you, I would have perished in that sea of trees long ago."
The Captain paused for a moment, as if making a decision. "No, I will absolutely not let that happen..."
"But that's the story that should have happened, isn't it?"
Guān Xīng interrupted the Captain.
"To me, it may not be a perfect story, but that's what it is..."
"I already said I would never—"
The Captain was already getting a little angry.
Guān Xīng still spoke in a tone that was used to coax a child.
"Yes, I understand... I've always understood."
"After all, Mr. Assassin, that's the kind of person you are."
The Guān Xīng gaze was filled with tenderness.
The background music is as soothing as a stream.
"Perhaps you yourself have not realized it... Mr. Assassin, there is always an almost obstinate persistence in your eyes."
Her Guān Xīng were full of tenderness and affection as petals quietly fell onto the fur on her shoulders.
"That's the look in someone's eyes who has lost something precious and struggled for it countless times."
"But that's also the look in your eyes that makes me feel most at ease."
The audience was deeply immersed in the story.
However, they are unaware that the meaning behind the Guān Xīng passage, as a technique of flashback, makes this part even more poignant when viewed again after the ending.
However, the audience has no idea what the Captain went through.
"Your gaze while Guān Xīng is so gentle."
Elysia crossed her arms in front of her chest.
"So sweet! This is exactly the sweet storyline that Miss Fairy wanted to see!"
Mobius gripped the hem of his clothes with both hands, tightening his grip until the veins on the back of his smooth, white hands bulged. Seeing this, Yaqing felt that she was not far from death.
Death is like the wind, always by my side.
"It seems she has discovered that the Captain is from the future and has changed what was destined to happen."
"Vill-V analyzed."
"Can the Captain and the Guān Xīng still be together?"
Elysia asked.
She didn't notice the murderous glare in Mobius's eyes when she asked the question.
"See you again in the not-too-distant future."
Vill-V only said this line.
"It's a little bit easy to bump into."
Yu Kiana said this as if possessed.
"Indeed, judging from this passage, Yaqing and the headmaster are a match made in heaven."
Bronya nodded, but then asked Kiana a question in return.
"But have you considered this? Yaqing and Professor Mobius are in a romantic relationship. You even called her 'Auntie' during the New Year's greetings!"
Kiana scratched her head and retorted firmly, "What I meant was that the Captain and Guān Xīng are a good match, not that I was talking about Uncle and Aunt!"
"Hehe."
"No matter what dire straits we face, you will always stand by my side, believing in me, supporting me, and protecting me." "Even that day when you faced General Durandal, risking your life..." the Captain said, acting like a child, "It was all because you called me back..."
"Heh, do you want me to watch you go to your death?" "Huh? How will we know who wins and who loses if we don't try..." Suddenly, the Captain felt a strong sense of dizziness. As the scenery in his eyes blurred, his legs gradually lost the strength to support his body.
With his last ounce of strength, he braced himself against the tree trunk beside him and collapsed like a puppet with its strings cut.
Elysia was initially smiling like a doting aunt because of the sweet storyline, was completely dumbfounded by this sudden reversal.
"What... what's going on?!"
"Holy crap, how did the Captain suddenly collapse?"
"Could it be because of that cherry blossom mochi?! Yae gave it to Guān Xīng, Guān Xīng then gave it to the Captain. Could it have been drugged?"
The audience looked completely bewildered.
How did the sweet and heartwarming storyline turn out so quickly?
Moreover, the background music wasn't changed, making it extremely difficult for them to react.
"Ha, it's finally working?"
Guān Xīng's expression remained unchanged.
"What..."
"That night at the inn, I specifically asked Miss Yae to make some cherry blossom cakes laced with sleeping potion, which are the ones you just ate."
"Guān Xīng... why are you..."
"Ah?"
The audience erupted in cheers.
This can be considered a successful resolution of foreshadowing. From the requests from the Guān Xīng and Yae to the specially left cherry blossom cakes, every foreshadowing element has been successfully resolved.
What viewers couldn't understand was why Guān Xīng would drug the Captain.
But then, a single sentence from the Guān Xīng made them understand.
"To protect those I must protect."
"?!"
"The array's core is complete. Tomorrow at noon, the monstrous beast will appear at the underwater altar. No matter how perilous the road ahead, sealing it away to ensure the empire's safety is my responsibility as the ruler of this nation."
Guān Xīng looked at the Captain.
"But this is not your responsibility, Mr. Assassin. You and Mr. Iron Fist are not from this world. This life-or-death battle... I should not, and cannot, drag you into it."
"So, Mr. Assassin, please rest well tonight."
"If I can return safely tomorrow, then..."
The Captain tried desperately to stand up and stop Guān Xīng, but the sleeping potion was too strong, leaving him completely powerless.
"Stop talking to yourself... you give me..."
"This is not just me saying it, Mr. Assassin."
Guān Xīng spoke softly, yet with extraordinary reverence.
It seemed to be mixed with a lot of love.
"Sealing that beast is my responsibility as the ruler of a nation, while protecting you is my responsibility as the Guān Xīng."
Guān Xīng makes no attempt to hide her love for the Captain, which makes many viewers anxious. Given this development, it's inevitable that Guān Xīng will make some crazy promises.
The subsequent plot is clearly full of heart-wrenching moments.
But they had just seen the Guān Xīng and the Captain express their feelings.
"Damn it, what if this web series gives me the Guān Xīng Knife in the finale? If that happens, I'm really... (busy voice)..."
"No way..."
Elysia also sensed that something was wrong.
The goals I set were too ambitious.
It's no less than waiting for me to come back, and then we'll get married.
"Yaqing, does this mean we're really going to have to use the sword to Guān Xīng later?"
Elysia was worried.
"Well..."
Yaqing was clearly stumped by the question.
"If it's about sealing away the alien beast, then it definitely won't be about Guān Xīng with a knife."
Hearing Yaqing's answer, Elysia breathed a sigh of relief.
Vill-V sensed a deeper meaning in those words. What did "sealing the alien beast" mean? Did it mean that the web series wouldn't end with sealing the alien beast? If so, there was a good chance that something bad would happen later.
Far East Schicksal Company.
"What do you call this? Theresa confesses her love to Yaqing. I never imagined such a plot in my life."
Shub couldn't help but complain.
"What?!"
Shigure Kira put her hands on her waist and said, "At first, I didn't want to use Yaqing as the main character, but all the viewers of the movie. However, it would be a bit unrealistic to make it into a web series, so I adopted a character template."
Shigure Kira's idea is good, but it's difficult to implement.
How could a web series be filmed in the first person?
"It's a bit sweet, I can't quite handle it, old-fashioned."
Little Knowledge.
The plot is so sweet, but she can't appreciate it. It's probably because the male and female leads are people she knows well, and people she would never consider as a couple.
Fu Hua adjusted his red-rimmed glasses.
You'll get used to it.
The Captain realized that Guān Xīng was determined to die and was about to summon Xiao Te, but he did not expect that Guān Xīng had anticipated this and had done something in advance, so that Xiao Te also slept until dawn.
"Assassin, this time... you've fallen into my trap again..."
"Wait... Guān Xīng... based on your own words..." The Captain still wanted to stop Guān Xīng.
Guān Xīng was determined to leave.
"Assassin, in your future, I... should have already become one of these stars in the sky, right?"
A hint of reluctance appeared on Guān Xīng's face.
She reached out to touch the Captain's cheek, but quickly withdrew her hand.
"After you return to your future... Mr. Assassin, if you still remember me... if you can still remember me..."
"Assassin, please... place a sky lantern like this for me too..." The background music reached its climax at this moment.
"Etc..."
It quickly disappeared again, completely calm, gradually becoming blurry and dark, as if representing that the Captain's spirit could no longer resist the power of the Mongolian medicine.
"Goodbye, Mr. Assassin..."
The background music started playing again!
Tears welled up in my eyes.
Although the Guān Xīng is not dead yet, Elysia couldn't help but shed tears.
"Waaaaah..."
Vill-V pulled out a few tissues and handed them to Elysia, asking, "Elysia, why are you crying? Guān Xīng doesn't really have any consequences."
Elysia cried and said, "But Guān Xīng in the future is still..."
The viewers in the live stream seemed to be moved by Elysia's emotions, and many of them shed tears at the tear-jerking plot.
