On Weibo, a trending topic about the grand finale of Legend of Sword and Fairy was climbing the charts at an unbelievable speed.
"It's just so unsatisfying! This is the first time I've finished a novel and felt this upset!"
"Me too. When Anu and Tang Yu turned into birds of a feather, I cried..."
"You haven't seen what comes later, upstairs. Don't cry too soon, or you'll have no tears left for later..."
"Damn it, why would the author do this!"
"Baiyue just wants to tell everyone that the Earth is round and that people should believe in science. What did he do wrong?"
"Even though this novel has a tragic ending, it's definitely one of the best novels I've ever read. The author's writing is good, and the characters are even better. Every character, whether villain or hero, is flesh and blood. The plot is also very smooth, and the imagination is vast. This novel is worth reading several more times..."
"Ling'er, my Ling'er is just gone like that?"
"Wuwuwu... Author, please change the ending. This is too sad."
"After finishing the novel, I haven't smiled much all day. I can't laugh. I usually eat three big bowls of rice per meal, but now I can barely eat a few bites..."
"Too tragic."
In just one day, the trending topic about the grand finale of Legend of Sword and Fairy had climbed into the top ten, with a tendency to rise further. This left netizens bewildered.
It's just a novel ending, why are so many people discussing it? It's too exaggerated. A considerable number of people searched for it out of curiosity, and then... there was no then.
This type of Xianxia novel, Legend of Sword and Fairy, was something people hadn't seen before. The beginning of the novel was humorous and witty, with a smooth plot. One event followed another, making it impossible to stop reading.
"This novel is indeed good!"
"I found the beginning very interesting. It seemed like a slightly comedic novel, so why is there so much resentment online?"
"I heard the ending of this novel is very tragic."
"Oh, I hate tragic endings the most when reading novels, but I also feel like this Legend of Sword and Fairy really suits my taste."
The grand finale of Legend of Sword and Fairy pushed the heat to its peak. The popularity of Legend of Sword and Fairy had been high online for the past few days, and there were even suggestions for a film and television adaptation.
Chinese Web Novel Platform clearly had this idea in mind and was thinking of asking Li Changle for his opinion. However, remembering that he had an appointment to visit later, he decided it would be best to go with the editorial director and the others then.
"Knock knock knock."
There was a knock on the door. Li Changle was making lunch, while Wang Siyi was idly browsing the book review section of Legend of Sword and Fairy in her room, wanting to see just how badly netizens were scolding Li Changle.
Wang Siyi clearly heard the knock. She wanted to help Li Changle open the door, but she remembered her "injured" foot. She had to commit to the act and couldn't let her guard down. She glanced in the direction of the door and didn't get up, continuing to stare at her phone and read reviews.
Li Changle didn't think much of it and walked straight from the kitchen to the door to open it. These past few days, people from the community had been coming to do population surveys, so he was used to it.
When he opened the door, he saw a middle-aged man dressed in a Zhongshan suit, with a short haircut and a pair of mustache that made him look refined and educated. He looked like a learned scholar.
Looking at the refined middle-aged man before him, Li Changle mused that this probably wasn't someone from the community doing a population survey.
"Who are you looking for?" Li Changle asked the middle-aged man, confused.
Wang Weimin was stunned when he saw a young man open the door.
"I'm sorry, I might have the wrong place."
He said politely, then turned his head to look at the house number opposite. He confirmed he wasn't mistaken; this house belonged to his father.
Since Siyi came to Yangcheng, she would only stay here and wouldn't go anywhere else. He knew his own daughter well.
He clearly remembered that Siyi had bought the apartment opposite the old man's place before. Had she sold it without telling him?
Li Changle watched the middle-aged man keep knocking on the opposite door.
He couldn't help but say, "Um, that apartment is empty right now. Please stop knocking."
Wang Weimin looked at Li Changle, puzzled.
"Who are you looking for?"
Li Changle guessed that this middle-aged man was probably looking for Wang Siyi, perhaps a relative of hers.
He just didn't understand why he hadn't called or sent a WeChat message in advance to let Wang Siyi know he was coming.
Seeing Wang Siyi in her pajamas, lounging around leisurely, Li Changle was sure she didn't know someone was coming to see her today.
"Oh, I'm looking for Wang Siyi, the resident of the apartment opposite you. Do you know her?"
Li Changle nodded, then turned and shouted towards the room, "Someone's looking for you!"
Wang Weimin's expression stiffened. He looked at the young man opposite him. He was tall, slender, clean, and quite handsome. What did it mean for him to shout into the room that someone was looking for her? Could it be that his daughter was living with him?
Wang Weimin's expression was now very unnatural. His daughter had been clingy since she was little, his sweet little cotton jacket. But ever since he opposed her entering the entertainment industry, his sweet little cotton jacket was gone. He saw her less than a few times a year, and when they did meet, she wouldn't talk to him, which made Wang Weimin very upset.
Last time, his wife hadn't communicated well with their daughter, and they argued again. This time, he happened to have a poetry association event in Yangcheng, so he came to be a judge and, by the way, to see his daughter. If possible, he would soften his stance.
He never expected that his daughter, without paying attention, would have such a tender, plump piece of cabbage snatched by someone else's pig?
He knew his daughter's personality. She had never shown any special affection for any man since she was young.
Let alone living together. Judging by the appearance, they had been living together for some time.
His own daughter was willing to live with another man? Wang Weimin was greatly shocked. He sized up Li Changle with a look of ill intent. Besides being good-looking, what else did this guy have to make his daughter fall for him?
He didn't know how far their relationship had progressed. No, no matter how far it had progressed, he had to take his daughter home first.
They weren't even married yet, and he didn't know when they started dating, but they were already living together without the consent of his wife and him. His daughter was really being too reckless this time.
Wang Weimin's anger flared as he thought about this, and his gaze towards Li Changle turned hostile.
Li Changle had just called out to Wang Siyi. Realizing her leg was injured and it would likely be inconvenient for her to come out, he simply spoke to the middle-aged man in front of him.
"Why don't you come in, Uncle? Siyi hasn't been feeling well these past few days. Please come in and sit, I'll go bring Siyi out."
This guy was calling her Siyi, and so familiarly at that. And what was with that smile all over his face? This kid didn't look like a good person at all.
Wang Weimin mentally slapped a label on Li Changle.
After Li Changle finished speaking, he saw the other person hadn't moved. His gaze, however, was off. It seemed like he was very displeased with him?
Li Changle felt a trace of anger in his eyes. He had no idea what he had done to offend the man in front of him. He had already invited him in, but he wasn't moving. What was he supposed to do now?
Should he just ignore him and go back to the kitchen to watch the soup, or stay here and stare blankly with him?
The middle-aged man finally moved, his face grim. He walked into the room without a word, not speaking to Li Changle. The atmosphere grew slightly awkward and oppressive.
Li Changle shook his head and followed behind him. He saw the middle-aged man constantly surveying the situation in the room.
He spotted a bedroom door that was ajar and, catching a glimpse of a figure lying on the bed, walked towards it.
Wang Siyi was lying on her bed, browsing the review section of Legend of Sword and Fairy. It was full of people criticizing Li Changle and making jokes. She couldn't help but join in, posting replies and adding to the flood of threads. Seeing the endless stream of jokes from these silly netizens criticizing Li Changle, she couldn't help but chuckle.
Wang Weimin saw Wang Siyi in a boy's room, lying on the bed and grinning foolishly. His face darkened.
"Siyi, what are you doing!"
A questioning voice came from outside the door. Wang Siyi jumped in fright, almost dropping her phone. She quickly sat up and looked outside, realizing it was her father, with Li Changle standing behind him watching her.
"Dad, why are you here?"
Wang Siyi asked in shock. She hadn't expected Wang Weimin to come to Yangcheng to find her without telling her.
Though, she recalled her father had called her a few days ago, but she had hung up without answering.
There wasn't much of a reason. Wang Siyi just felt that every time she communicated with her parents, she ended up sad. She was happy living at Li Changle's place and didn't want to be upset again, so she decided to simply not answer any calls from her parents.
"Why am I here? If I didn't come, what else would you be doing? Planning to have a grandchild for me and your mother?"
Wang Weimin said furiously.
"Who is this guy? Why are you living in the same house with him? We don't object to you having a boyfriend, but at the very least, you should bring him home for us to see before you start dating. Instead, you've already moved in together before your parents even knew!"
"This kid doesn't look like a good person at all. Dad doesn't approve of you two being together!"
"You're coming back to Jinling with me today. Stay there and don't go anywhere for now."
Li Changle behind them suddenly understood. This middle-aged man was Wang Siyi's father. No wonder he had looked at him so unfavorably just now. His own daughter was being "stolen" away by someone else; who wouldn't be angry? It seemed this man had misunderstood his relationship with Wang Siyi.
"Uh, Uncle, you've misunderstood. Siyi and I aren't in a romantic relationship."
Li Changle was about to step forward and explain, but he was interrupted before he could finish.
"You shut up. I haven't even settled accounts with you yet. You're living with my daughter and still denying it in front of me? Where's your manliness?"
Wang Weimin clearly didn't believe him. Not boyfriend and girlfriend? He knew his daughter well. This guy didn't even have the courage to admit it. His impression of Li Changle sank even lower.
