I'm really good at this.

It was lunch break time, and in Class 1 of Grade 11 at Shanghai High School, there were only a few girls wearing headphones, scrolling through their phones, and quietly munching on bread.

Among them was Su Xiaoyue, who had a high ponytail.

The summer school uniform clung to her body. If you didn't look at her face, she was the kind of girl Zhang Hong liked in his previous life—the kind whose figure alone would make you want to pass 404 (a Chinese internet slang term for a certain type of ...

If you only look at her face, she has a cool and aloof face paired with gentle eyes.

It's probably the eternal white moonlight in the hearts of countless teenagers on campus.

Of course, Lin Muqing is another kind of ideal woman.

If we were to use a metaphor, Lin Muqing would be like a flower on a high mountain, a goddess to everyone in the school—aloof and unapproachable.

But you don't know when she cares about you and does things for you. It's only after a long time that you realize—she cares about me, and she's not that far away from me.

Su Xiaoyue is the kind of gentle girl next door.

No matter what you say, she won't get angry or respond; she'll just listen quietly.

It seems like you might overlook her presence at any time.

And sometime after graduation, maybe you'll be smoking, or at work, or whatever.

You might suddenly think of that girl from your school days whom you often overlooked.

Then, he felt a pang of melancholy.

However, there are no boys in the class now.

In this rare cool weather of summer, and before they were even in their senior year of high school, they naturally went to the basketball court in groups to play basketball.

However, a swift and energetic figure soon burst in.

The one who came was naturally Su Xiaoyue's best friend, Gu Yan.

If Su Xiaoyue's school uniform evoked the feeling of a cherished memory from her teenage years, then...

Then Gu Yan... let your memories return to your childhood.

Perhaps it was because the tablet had low wind resistance, but she rushed to Su Xiaoyue, who was sitting in the first row below the podium, in just a few seconds.

"Yueyue! Have you seen the news?!"

Su Xiaoyue quickly turned off her phone screen, her eyes filled with panic: "No, what's wrong?"

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 10 ...

Although she was very fast, she still couldn't escape Gu Yan's eyes with 5.2 vision.

She grinned mischievously: "Watching your Zhang Hong's edited videos again?"

She had seen that video too; it was a video of "Fang Bie" edited by a fan of Zhang Hong using the song "The Wind Rises."

She recommended this video to her best friend, and her friend became addicted, watching it every day, and even getting teary-eyed after watching it.

This girl is truly possessed.

Su Xiaoyue gently patted her and whispered, "What news?"

Gu Yan slapped her forehead, her eyes darting around, and asked, "Yueyue, what do you think of 'Clouds Falling into the Mortal World'?"

"That's great." The girl with the single ponytail didn't mind her best friend changing the subject; that's just her personality. "I saw that it's really popular online, and there are a lot of content creators on video websites making edited videos of Luo Xinchen and Han Ziye. Yesterday, three of them were in the top ten of the daily rankings."

Furthermore, some content creators on YouTube discovered a hidden sequel in the drama's plot analysis. The elderly couple who swindled Luo Xinchen out of money in the first episode are actually Luo Xinchen and Han Ziye in their later years. This means that in the storyline after the drama ends, they are both still alive and well, together, and even able to travel through time.

This is a foreshadowing that Zhang Hong planted in the plot from the very beginning.

When many people were analyzing the plot at the beginning, they had already identified most of the foreshadowing.

However, the couple, who only appeared abruptly in the first episode, did seem to be a minor flaw to them.

Perhaps it was just to express Luo Xinchen's innocence and kindness when she first descended to the mortal world, despite her cold exterior.

Why did they give Luo Xinchen and the other person a shot after they left, and then the old man said something inexplicable?

However, it wasn't until they finished watching the finale that they realized that the foreshadowing at the beginning had already foreshadowed the true ending.

As a result, the popularity of "Cloud Falls into the Mortal World" has surged again, and many people have chosen to watch it a second or third time in order to see this foreshadowing.

This made The Boss both anxious and angry, and he even petted his Siamese cat, which couldn't transform into a cat-eared beauty, until it was almost bald.

The short-haired girl continued with a mischievous grin, "How does it compare to 'The Bloodstained Youth'?"

The girl with the single ponytail said without hesitation: "Although 'Blood-Red Youth' is not over yet, with only Zhang Hong's storyline remaining, this drama is already beyond the reach of 'Cloud Falls into the Mortal World'."

This is the fan filter.

Although, in terms of plot and storytelling alone, "Blood-Red Youth" is indeed slightly inferior to "Cloud Falls in the Mortal World," it is superior to the latter in all other aspects.

However, "Bloody Youth" is a TV series with more than 30 episodes, so there are bound to be some slow-paced parts, which is commonly known as padding. It's just that Liu Yishou's skill makes this padding less noticeable.

"Clouds Fall into the Mortal World" is different again.

This series has only ten episodes in total, and each episode is very fast-paced. Each episode ends with a cliffhanger, and the first to tenth episodes form a cycle with more than one hidden plot line.

In this respect, "Bloody Youth" is not as good as "Clouds Falling into the Mortal World".

But who can blame Ms. Su for having a fan filter?

Although she doesn't plan to watch the rest of the story after Zhang Hongge's character dies.

Hearing her confident answer, Gu Yan's smile stretched almost to her ears: "Then don't be afraid when you hear the news I'm about to tell you."

She knew her best friend didn't follow celebrities or watch entertainment news, so she did this on purpose to see her best friend get angry and embarrassed.

Because they're so cute.

Moreover, she had never seen her best friend angry before, so she wanted to try it out herself.

Su Xiaoyue was confused: "What news?"

"Your brother Zhang Hong is Zhang Hong, the director of 'Clouds Fall into the Mortal World.' They're not just people with the same name; they're the same person!"

After finishing her speech, Gu Yan looked at her best friend with a relaxed expression, wanting to see how the girl looked when she was angry and blushing.

Unexpectedly, Su Xiaoyue was only taken aback for a moment, and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

She whispered, "As expected, Brother Zhang Hong is a mature, reliable, and talented person in real life."

He acts so well, writes such good songs, and I never expected that even the TV series he stars in would be so good.

Gu Yan was completely stunned.

This little girl... she's gone way too far with her cultivation!

"Yueyue, wake up! That's an old man who likes to smoke!"

Ignoring her best friend's antics, the girl with the high ponytail rested her chin on her hand, and the image of the older brother smoking alone in the dark resurfaced in her mind.

If it were him, what would he be doing now?

He doesn't like attending events or appearing in public; he's probably someone who's wholeheartedly devoted to artistic creation.

Perhaps he's already preparing for his next TV series?

............

"Damn it! Why did I only get 800,000? I'm so angry!!!"

Los Angeles, a two-story building, inside Zhang Hong's office.

Looking at the various trending topics related to him on Weibo, he opened the video "Clouds Falling into the Mortal World" on Jixing Video with a ferocious expression.

Since he didn't have a VIP membership, he naturally couldn't watch the show.

However, he wasn't watching the show; he was just looking at data like click-through rates and number of favorites.

Looking at the 9.8 rating and the number of clicks that he couldn't even count at once, he clutched his chest, his heart aching terribly!

Another man surnamed Zhang shared the same heartache.

His father, Zhang Hao.

He'd been betrayed again! In his 500-square-meter office, he clutched his chest with a ferocious expression; his heart was truly aching!
