Yang Jingying and Shen Manni had questions they wanted to ask in their hearts.
Xu Mo confessed without being pressed.
His motivation for making a movie was pure.
Lin An'an was the female lead of this world.
To disrupt the development between the male lead, Lin Fan, and the female lead, Lin An'an,
Xu Mo collaborated with Lin An'an to shoot a film to annoy Lin Fan.
This was very much like Xu Mo.
It was exactly the kind of thing Xu Mo would do.
Taking advantage of Zhou Qiaoqiao's absence,
Yang Jingying definitely wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by.
"Xu Mo, I've prepared my dowry. When are you going to marry me?"
"When we were in elementary school, you said you'd make me your wife when we grew up. You're not trying to back out now, are you?"
Yang Jingying stared directly at Xu Mo,
pressing him step by step.
In no time,
she was right in front of Xu Mo.
Xu Mo was panicking.
He didn't have time to think about titles anymore.
When had he ever said such a thing?
Xu Mo searched through his childhood memories.
Given his carefree nature back then,
it was entirely possible he had done something like that.
He vaguely remembered something along those lines.
Back then, the young Xu Mo had thought about how he would be trampled underfoot by the protagonist in the future,
constantly humiliated.
He felt resentful.
Since he would be going home after finishing the plot anyway,
why not arrange things before the plot even began?
Here, take this hat to keep warm in the cold.
So, Xu Mo had indeed flirted with Yang Jingying.
The elementary school curriculum for wealthy children was different from most schools.
It was open-ended,
with no fixed answers.
After all, they weren't going to work for others after graduation,
but to take over their family businesses.
Xu Mo had performed exceptionally well as a child,
easily becoming the center of attention in class.
Plus, the two of them were desk mates.
Proximity breeds fondness.
It was perfectly fine to impart some enlightenment to the naive little girl, Yang Jingying.
Like telling her things that little girls dream about for the future.
Things like, "When I grow up, I'll marry you!"
"No matter how difficult it is!"
What? Your dad would stop me? No way, I'll just take him down.
I'll overcome all obstacles in my way.
The filial daughter Yang Jingying would never let Xu Mo mess around like that.
The conditions Xu Mo proposed back then,
the little Yang Jingying absolutely refused to agree to.
Although it sounded interesting to her,
making her big eyes widen in fascination,
her parents had been good to her.
Xu Mo was good at coaxing girls.
especially to coax children.
It was practically second nature to him.
If he were lucky enough to travel back in time,
A soul in his twenties who couldn't coax children would be a waste of a time travel.
Xu Mo never intended to hit anyone.
He just changed his approach.
So, the young Xu Mo said two words:
---Elope.
If you understand, give me a round of applause!
And just like that, the young Xu Mo explained the meaning of the word to the little Yang Jingying.
Using stories like Romeo and Juliet from another world,
and the tale of Zhu Yingtai and Liang Shanbo,
He deceived Yang Jingying.
Of course, they were adapted versions.
After all, Xu Mo didn't remember the details clearly.
Telling a little girl romantic stories about eloping was as easy as playing.
No obstacles at all.
After a montage of memories,
back to reality.
Xu Mo was filled with regret, lamenting his past actions.
He never expected that one day,
Yang Jingying would bring up old debts!
It didn't happen in his previous life,
but it happened in this one.
Isn't that strange?
Xu Mo's face turned red, and he said awkwardly,
"Kids say things without thinking. Promises made as children shouldn't be taken seriously."
Shen Manni was shocked. How had she never heard about this before?
Well... back then, she found Xu Mo annoying.
All she could think about was
how to get rid of him.
She couldn't have cared less about Xu Mo's personal matters.
Not far away, Lin An'an, who was resting, was also shocked.
Yang Jingying's voice wasn't too loud or too soft.
She didn't try to hide anything.
Anyone who wanted to hear could hear.
Liu Yong and the entire crew silently gave Xu Mo a thumbs-up.
When they were kids, they were still playing in the mud.
Even worse, they divided into groups based on gender.
Boys played with boys, and girls stuck with girls.
Any boy who mixed with girls
would be discriminated against by their peers.
Who would have thought that childhood was the best time to develop social prowess?
If not for that, some of them wouldn't still be single.
Shen Manni, with a cold expression, empathized and spat out,
“Scumbag!”
She felt she had no right to speak about what happened before.
But when it came to promises,
no one had more authority to speak than her.
Xu Mo had made her many promises.
Although he said one thing and meant another,
he had still said them.
Once upon a time, he was full of sweet nothings,
even saying he'd pluck the stars from the sky.
The times have changed, and now it's all about the new generation's laughter, who cares about the old generation's tears?
Use and discard, heartless!
Xu Mo's lips twitched.
He felt it was necessary to clarify their relationship.
The dog-licking role was gone.
After the birthday party,
it should have ended there.
But there was a little hiccup in between.
Given the system's kindness,
it would probably turn a blind eye and let him pass.
Xu Mo just had to grit his teeth and finish the remaining plot.
No more bootlicking roles...
So, I'm not acting anymore!
Xu Mo put on a serious face, coughed, and said,
"Shen Manni, I used to chase you relentlessly, but you always ignored me."
"You turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to my love. I'm tired, I'm exhausted."
"I finally met someone I wanted to love, but she didn't respond to me."
"A broken heart, no matter how you stitch it up, will still leave scars."
"So, if you have no heart, you won't get hurt."
With that, he put on his hat, signaling he cared for no one.
He was still the son of a wealthy family, still the Xu Mo that countless beauties fought over!
Xu Mo was a seasoned actor.
He played the role of a yes-man, licking up to having nothing at the end.
to perfection.
When he said those words later,
Xu Mo appeared extremely emotional.
To onlookers,
Xu Mo truly seemed like a devoted dog deeply hurt by Shen Manni.
Extremes meet.
Love can turn to hate, and hate can turn to love.
Once emotions reach a certain threshold,
they can transform.
These are natural phenomena.
They can't be explained by human intervention or subjective judgment errors.
Who can a wounded heart love???
Xu Mo's performance
resonated with some of the extras on set.
They had also pursued the goddess.
they had also been a sycophant.
But the fate of a simp... is to end up with nothing...
"Ouch... mom, wuwuwu... it's my fault, not the world's. Even with the wealth gap, the fate of a licking dog is still to end up with nothing."
He has been through a lot. He is trying to enlighten us with his experiences.
That's right, bootlickers know no class, no wealth. If you dare to be a bootlicker, you'll end up with nothing!
"Xu Mo is truly great!!!!
The veteran simp was moved to tears.
Love can't move a goddess.
Neither can money.
Being silly can...
Wait, Xu Mo doesn't seem stupid.
So that can be ruled out.
"You didn't pursue me sincerely before, so I didn't agree."
"If you had pursued me sincerely, I would have agreed long ago."
Shen Manni suddenly spoke up.
Xu Mo: Meow meow meow????
Hey lady, are you a funeral accelerator (someone who helps speed up the process of dying)?
Do you think our relationship can still work?
Just like that???
Xu Mo was dumbfounded.
Yang Jingying was stunned.
I invited you here to say this?
Are you betraying your allies like this?
