Chapter 57

Chapter 057: A World Without Idol Dramas? On the weekend, just one minute before noon, Luo Qingchuan saw Chen Yanyu on the street in front of the Loxian Hotel. She still stood out in the crowd with her silver hair, radiating a unique and vibrant aura. As Chen Yanyu descended the stairs, the moment she laid eyes on Luo Qingchuan, the once shy and reserved girl blossomed into a smile as bright as the spring sun. She looked like a young girl experiencing her first love, her eyes sparkling with joy that couldn't be concealed. She hurriedly approached him. Wearing a cream-colored blouse and a black suspender skirt, the girl carried a delicate small shoulder bag. To Luo Qingchuan's surprise, Chen Yanyu wasn't wearing sunglasses. Her smile was pure and captivating, and her snow-white hair cascaded gracefully, exuding an aura of elegance. When the two of them were ten steps apart, Luo Qingchuan noticed that Chen Yanyu suddenly stopped. The girl took out her phone from her bag, and with an elfish face, she aimed it at Luo Qingchuan. Luo Qingchuan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and waved his hand. *Click.* Chen Yanyu's eyes lit up as she captured the wonderful moment. The faint sunlight fell on the young man, dressed in a white coat and jeans, giving him a tall and elegant appearance. His thin eyebrows and long, slender eyes were anything but cold, instead exuding a gentle warmth like clouds. *Click.* *Click.* *Click.* A smile appeared at the corner of Chen Yanyu's lips as she gracefully approached Luo Qingchuan. With each step she took, she snapped a photo of him, storing them in her phone. In the backlight, the young man emitted a radiant glow, appearing as soft and dreamlike as can be. Then, Chen Yanyu arrived in front of Luo Qingchuan, holding her phone behind her back with one hand and sporting a beautiful smile. "Your turn, Luo Qingchuan." Luo Qingchuan understood what she meant. He smiled and took out his phone, took a few steps back, and selected a good angle. *Click.* The girl's long and slender eyelashes curled upwards, forming a beautifully graceful curve. Her golden eyes bloomed with a gentle smile, and she stood with her hands behind her back, looking lovely and charming. Passersby who happened to be walking past the hotel couldn't help but envy the intimate interaction between the young couple, reminiscing about their own lost youth... "That's enough," Luo Qingchuan said. Chen Yanyu trotted over and happily said, "Luo Qingchuan, Luo Qingchuan, I want to take one more picture!" "Huh?" Chen Yanyu stood beside Luo Qingchuan, and with her silver hair cascading down, she raised her slender arm and held up her phone. *Click.* Her cheeks flushed, and in the crucial moment, she tilted her head towards Luo Qingchuan. "Hehe, okay," Chen Yanyu said, cherishingly putting her phone back in her bag, her face bright with a smile. She put her left hand on her hip and playfully extended her right index finger. "Luo Qingchuan, let's go!" The girl exuded a powerful presence, like a general about to embark on a campaign. Luo Qingchuan: "..." Luo Qingchuan casually asked, "Where should we go?" "Anywhere is fine!!!" Chen Yanyu swung her bag over her shoulder, gazing up at Luo Qingchuan with eager anticipation. Luo Qingchuan said, "Then let's walk along the way and find a nearby restaurant." "Okay, okay!" The boy and girl walked side by side along the roadside. The more Chen Yanyu walked with Luo Qingchuan, the more shy she became for some unknown reason. Soon, her face turned crimson, and she buried her head, only staring at the ground. Taking a stroll! This is what couples do... Chen Yanyu realized it, and her heart started pounding like a young deer. She felt a surge of joy in her chest, as if her emotions were overflowing. Originally, she was very happy, but Chen Yanyu gradually became a little downcast. '... If only we could hold hands, it would be perfect. What a pity.' But the corners of the girl's lips quickly curved upward, and her bright eyes gleamed with a smile. 'It's okay, we will get better and better, for sure!' She felt joy once again, filled with anticipation. When Chen Yanyu and Luo Qingchuan sat separately at a quiet small restaurant, she felt even happier. Eating together felt like... being with family? "How have you been enjoying yourself these days?" Luo Qingchuan ordered a fruity tea for Chen Yanyu, knowing she liked sweet things. Chen Yanyu held the fruity tea cup delicately in her slender hands and shared her experiences with Luo Qingchuan in a delightful and melodious voice. Her clear and melodious voice, like the song of a golden oriole, softly narrated her stories. Chen Yanyu shared the happiness she found in the mortal realm, recounting the little things she had encountered and witnessed. Listening to Chen Yanyu, the happiness she sought soared to new heights. It turned into a pure and overwhelming sense of bliss, making every minute and every second feel like an eternal joy. "Luo Qingchuan, Luo Qingchuan, do you know how cute the desserts were back then? Oh, right, I sent you some photos, but, sigh, that little panda was so adorable..." "The shop assistant kept asking if I was dissatisfied because I didn't eat it," Chen Yanyu said, sheepishly twisting her fingers around the straw sticking out of the fruity tea cup. "So... so I used a spoon to dig out one of its ears, and it was soft and sweet." Luo Qingchuan smiled softly and listened attentively. Every time he looked at Chen Yanyu, he couldn't help but feel blessed. Her voice sounded like wind chimes in the summer breeze, pleasant and captivating. On this leisurely autumn weekend, perhaps this was how it should be spent. Chen Yanyu said she was tired. She put the straw in her mouth, taking a sip of the fruit juice. Her cheeks turned as rosy as apples, delicate and tender, as if they would release water with just a pinch. Curiously, Luo Qingchuan asked, "Do you still watch idol dramas when you're alone?" "Yes," Chen Yanyu smiled mischievously, "because they're really good!" "How was the episode we watched the other day? What happened next between the main characters?" Luo Qingchuan asked with curiosity. "Did they end up together?" Suddenly, Chen Yanyu's expression of blossoming joy froze. Her golden eyes seemed to darken, and a hint of sorrow emerged. The air in the restaurant seemed to grow heavy, and the whispered conversations of other patrons became more hushed, emphasizing the silence. Luo Qingchuan felt that he had asked the wrong question. Sighing, Chen Yanyu bit her silver teeth, put down her fruity tea, and clenched her delicate little fist. "That hateful male lead... rejected her. Sob sob, he rejected her!" Chen Yanyu's eyes welled up with tears. "Do you know, Luo Qingchuan, the female lead has been crying all this time, sob sob, and I... I feel so devastated..." Luo Qingchuan couldn't help but chuckle and gently said, "They will end up together in the end." Chen Yanyu paused. "Really?" "Really." "Why?" Luo Qingchuan thought for a moment, but instead of voicing the dialogue in his heart, he calmly said, "Do you trust me?" "Mhmm!" Chen Yanyu clenched her fist and nodded. "In that case, they will definitely end up together. If they don't, I'll go buy the rights and film a sequel!" Chen Yanyu burst into laughter, her smile brightening. "Luo Qingchuan, now I'm more excited for the movie, but idol dramas are still good." Her clear eyes were as pure as a clear spring. She murmured softly, "If there were no idol dramas in the world, it would definitely be... very boring, wouldn't it?" Chen Yanyu raised her arm and covered her forehead, looking lost in thought. "I used to think... even if the world was destroyed, it would be fine without idol dramas." "Oh," Luo Qingchuan blinked, slightly surprised. "What about now?" "Hehe." Chen Yanyu didn't say anything. She sat up straight, simply looking at Luo Qingchuan with a smile. Her eyes sparkled brightly, her face pure and flawless. It momentarily left Luo Qingchuan dazed and on the verge of falling. He nearly succumbed.
