Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Back in Beijing, Lao Luo had already begun to have doubts.

Even though Ximen Lang was a native of the future, he didn't know much about the world of Beijing, which was separated by several decades, and even lacked the most basic understanding.

How can he still be so familiar with people of this era?

The key is that if you really only want to know about those people who have left a significant mark on history, that's fine too. Ordinary people can also know about these people in the same way, but it should be selective and targeted.

That's a bit ridiculous!

Take Ximen Lang and Bai Ling's neighbors in the courtyard as an example. When it comes to Xiao Jia's family, He Yuzhu's family, the three liaison officers and their families, as well as Xu Damao and the deaf old lady in the backyard, Ximen Lang knows them all very well and understands them better than anyone else.

They know these people even better than they do themselves.

For example, there's Jia Zhangshi, Ximen Lang's "frenemies" who always puzzled Lao Luo about their relationship.

You know, it's just inexplicable.
A young man and an old widow, how come they can get along so well and even get along so well!
What is this if not absurd? Tell me.
But what about the ordinary neighbors? He doesn't even know them. Ximen Lang has lived in the courtyard house for so long, and he can't even remember their full names!
Isn't that weird?
And then there were Xu Huizhen and Chen Xueru at Zhengyang Gate, who weren't widows, but were more like them. (Neither of their men were dead, but it was as if they were.)
How do you know so much about this?!

They're just two "young widows," nothing special, and I've never met them before. How did you even get to know them?

"Could it be that this kid has some special fondness for widows?"

This outrageous idea only flashed through Lao Luo's mind for a moment before he immediately forgot about it.

The reason is simple: Ximen Lang has unusually high standards when it comes to women.

In short, he is a picky eater.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so long since he'd only had Bai Ling and Xia Yiyi by his side.

After all, if things are difficult to manage in Beijing, wouldn't things be even more difficult in later generations?!
But in the end, he remained as virtuous as ever.

Aside from being won over by Xia Yiyi, a very scheming woman, have you seen him getting involved with any other women?
This cannot be explained by a simple fear of getting sick, so there is no need to consider the possibility that he has an unusual fondness for widows.

How did he come to know these people so well, and why did he have such a natural and great interest in them?
Now it seems the answer can only be
Combined with Ximen Lang's inexplicable wariness towards Bai Ling when she moved into the courtyard house, his equally inexplicable familiarity with Hao Pingchuan, and his sudden realization of himself after recognizing Hao Pingchuan, this leads to a deeper understanding of the situation.

A ridiculous idea that shattered his worldview immediately popped into Lao Luo's mind.

That is.
"Are we also characters in movies and TV shows? Like Gu Zidi and Zhao Erdou, are we just movie characters?"

Seeing that Lao Luo truly lived up to his reputation, he had thought of so much in just a short time and understood the problem so clearly.

Without offering any explanation, Bai Ling then projected information from numerous film and television works, including "Full House of Love," "The Little Woman Under the Zhengyang Gate," "Beijing Under the Smoke of War," and "The Grand Mansion Gate."

The series of shocks were like bolts from the blue. The stunned Lao Luo opened his mouth wide and couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Although Bai Ling did not disclose the information about the Glorious Era, the stories of "Full House of Love" and "The Little Woman Under the Zhengyang Gate" have already appeared. Is there any need to ask?
There's no way they can escape!

Because of the sheer volume of information, Lao Luo immediately fell into a speechless silence.

However, Lao Luo quickly adjusted.

After exhaling a deep breath, the shock on his face disappeared, replaced by an expression of interest.

He asked Bai Ling with great interest.

"Hey, Bai Ling, now that we've been confirmed as characters in a TV series, someone like me should be a main character, right? Tell me, what's my character like in the show? Am I a main character?"

Seeing the huge range of questions Lao Luo asked, it was astonishing that he was questioning his life one second and then suddenly asked this question the next.

Bai Ling was completely dumbfounded.

Now, it was Bai Ling's turn to be completely baffled.

I thought Lao Luo was stunned by these successive blows and was even traumatized by them.

Bai Ling quickly checked on Lao Luo's physical condition.

They touched his forehead to check his temperature and then asked Lao Luo to stick out his tongue to check its color.

For a time, Bai Ling was extremely busy, and Lao Luo was left both amused and exasperated.

It can only be repeated again and again.
"No need to try, I'm not sick. I'm perfectly fine, there's nothing wrong with me!"

It has been confirmed that Lao Luo's health is not in any condition.

While rejoicing.
"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright. You survived the war years with great difficulty, if it's because of me... I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life, I'm telling you."

Bai Ling asked, puzzled.

"What's going on, Lao Luo? When I found out a while ago that I was just a character in a movie, I was depressed for three whole days! I couldn't recover for a whole week! It took me a long time to mentally prepare myself before I finally emerged from the shadows!"

"What's wrong with you? You're not only not shocked, but you're even paying attention to this kind of thing? No, are you really okay? If something's wrong, tell me sooner rather than later, so we can detect and treat it early. Things aren't like they used to be; our medical conditions here are gradually improving. As long as it's not some rare or complicated illness, you'll be fine! Don't give up on treatment!"

His rambling, just like Ximen Lang's, was so annoying that it gave Lao Luo a splitting headache.

But there was no good way to deal with Bai Ling, so they could only repeat the process once again.
"I am physically healthy and mentally fine!"

This reassured Bai Ling once again.

Then, grasping the information revealed in Bai Ling's words, Lao Luo suddenly realized.

"The other day? Goodness, no wonder you were so irritable those days! Like a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment! You were always scolding this person or yelling at that person, and you even had a long face on my face, never giving me a kind look. So that's what happened, no wonder!"

The period of time that Lao Luo mentioned was exactly what happened during the month he disappeared.

By chance, Bai Ling suddenly had the urge to search for what achievements she could have made, what contributions she could have made to the country, and what her reputation would have been like if Ximen Lang hadn't interfered.

The result of this search...
Good heavens, Bai Ling retrieved a wealth of information about the Glorious Era.

Then, Bai Ling, who never expected this outcome, was completely stunned.

Then, Bai Ling, who couldn't quite describe her feelings, took advantage of the fact that Ximen Lang was busy in the future and couldn't pay attention to this, and watched Glorious Era all night.

Then, completely overwhelmed by the immense sense of absurdity, Bai Ling immediately entered menopause prematurely.

Especially because it's such a serious matter, she can't tell anyone!

This is really tough on Bai Ling!

It wasn't just irritable, it was downright manic!

Unable to accept that she was just an ordinary film and television character, and with no one to confide in, Bai Ling completely snapped.

So Bai Ling during that period was really unusually difficult to get along with.

Even Ximen Lang, that precious son of hers, was frequently scolded by Bai Ling during that period for various reasons, not to mention Hao Pingchuan and the others. The situation only improved after Bai Ling had mentally prepared herself and slowly emerged from the predicament.

And thanks to the experience during this period.
Of course, it's also because Lao Luo and his team were really scolded by Bai Ling for various reasons, and they were scolded quite badly.

Therefore, Lao Luo's impression of this extremely special period is truly exceptionally deep.

As soon as Bai Ling started speaking, Lao Luo immediately recalled the scene of being scolded by Bai Ling.

It's simply unbearable to recall.

Luo said helplessly.

"So those were the reasons you were so irritable back then? And just now, were you being so cautious because you were afraid I wouldn't be able to handle it like you? You're underestimating me!"

"What storms haven't I weathered in my life? This little thing is nothing to me. Of course, it's definitely shocking. And it's impossible to avoid feeling genuinely resistant to it."

"But that's all! Do you expect me to be unable to recover for a long time, to never recover again? Absolutely not! With a little adjustment, this will all be over. How big of a deal can it be?"

Bai Ling carefully observed the expression on Lao Luo's face as he said this.

Judging from Lao Luo's demeanor and expression when he spoke, it didn't seem like he was faking it at all.

Now it was Bai Ling's turn to be shocked.

I'm genuinely curious about how Luo Yonghao managed to do it, and I really want to use his methods to completely get rid of the sense of powerlessness and anxiety that comes with it.

Bai Ling sincerely sought guidance.

"How do you manage to comfort yourself? Teach me, please! You have no idea how much this has been affecting me lately! I just can't help but keep thinking about it, and it gets so agonizing that I haven't been sleeping well lately! So if you have any good tips, please teach me quickly, I want to learn from you."

This is something that Lao Luo really needs to consider carefully.

Especially now that it is almost certain that Bai Ling's impulsive remark about the rallying cry was largely due to the influence of this incident.

Luo immediately became serious.

He truly shared everything without reservation, concisely and clearly explaining the key points.

That is.
"In any case, the efforts we have made for this world are real, and the changes that have occurred in this world because of us, the changes for the better, cannot be fake! Our individual lives are also real!"

"Since all of this is true, our efforts and hard work have not been in vain, and our contributions have all been meaningful, then why are we still worrying so much?"

"Isn't this just making trouble for yourself? Think about it carefully, doesn't this make sense?"

It really is!
Regardless of the circumstances, their indelible contributions to the world are undeniable and cannot be faked!

And the world they live in, although it's a hodgepodge of later films and TV shows, so much so that it's almost impossible to put anything into it.

But this world itself is definitely not fake, and her 25, um, 26 years of life, that must be real!
Since it's all true...
"Then what am I still hesitating about? If I really look at it that way, I'm just making trouble for myself!"

"What do you think?"

A true master's skill is immediately apparent upon their first move.

In just a few words, the expert Lao Luo helped Bai Ling completely shake off all her negative emotions.

Seeing that Bai Ling had already let go of her burdens and was continuing with the initial question, Lao Luo asked curiously.

"You still haven't said whether I'm the main character or not. Give me a straight answer."

This was far beyond Bai Ling's expectations.

Seeing that Lao Luo is really a bit outrageous.

Such a big thing, he just let it go in front of him.

Yet they possess an extraordinary curiosity about these little things.

Because she had just been taught a trick by Lao Luo, which saved her from all sorts of negative emotions.

Therefore, Bai Ling didn't say anything harsh.

Instead, he casually found the movie "Glorious Era" and sent it to Lao Luo along with "Full House of Love", "The Grand Mansion Gate", and "The Little Woman Under the Zhengyang Gate" mentioned earlier.

Luo Yonghao naturally clicked on the TV series "Glorious Era" immediately.

Of course, if you're going to look at it this way, slowly and carefully, that definitely won't work.

After all, Lao Luo still has a lot of things to do.

Any one of those things would definitely be more important than this.

But watching the beginning at double speed and analyzing the situation based on that is still no problem; he can still find the time.

Then, Lao Luo was embarrassed.

"How can you only be a supporting character? Look at him, he's not even as good as Hao Pingchuan! At most, he can only be an important supporting character. What kind of nonsense is this?! It's you and Zheng who are better off."

Luo was about to blurt out Zheng Chaoyang's name when he quickly stopped halfway through.

Of course, even though she had already stopped talking, Bai Ling definitely knew what Lao Luo was going to say and why she had stopped, because his next words were so easy to guess.

Therefore, it will definitely be somewhat complex.

But most of the time it was uneventful.

Because that matter is truly in the past.

It wasn't just because Zheng Chaoyang was indeed not a good match, but also because her man was Ximen Lang, not Zheng Chaoyang, who was even less responsible than her.

Especially after they got to know Ximen Lang better, their feelings for each other had completely transformed into love.

Bai Ling has an exceptionally open-minded perspective on what happened back then.

So, Lao Luo suddenly stopped talking.

It was even more disgusting to Bai Ling than when she finished speaking.

Bai Ling was speechless.

"It's just Zheng Chaoyang, isn't it? Just tell the whole story! Why leave it half-said? Who are you trying to disgust?!" (End of Chapter)
