Chapter 208 (2/2)
Her family could be categorized as wealthy, but middle class. Thus, she could afford to learn many kinds of musical instruments. It would be too unrealistic if she was born in a poor family.
The readers would smile unconsciously whenever they read passages of ‘Chu Luoxun’—What would this joyful girl come up with this time?
How would she assist the male protagonist and the heroine?
How would she use the music to save the male protagonist from his psychological trauma?
How would she patiently guide the heroine so that she would find that magic in her violin?
Unknowingly, this beautiful young girl who was originally fated to be the “Dugu Qiubai [1]” of the music had completely surpassed Lin Meiyue, the heroine. Even Gu Yuan, the male protagonist was overshadowed by her existence.
Nonetheless, the editor and the readers did not see it as a problem. On the contrary, they felt that Leng Zi’s work was only getting more exciting, and the charming ‘Chu Luoxun’ had deeply touched their hearts.
On the internet, there would be people feeling sorry for themselves, thinking that it would be great if a friend who is always optimistic and full of laughter and happiness existed in their youth. She even knew who you liked and would assist you
“The only thing that is absent between the winner of life and myself is the Goddess Chu!” This phrase instantly became a hot topic on Weibo.
“Beautiful April” was so popular, that ‘Chu Luoxun’ had become an iconic female character. Many of the readers who finished reading all the current release of this work would express emotional sighs. Why would they worry that this first love story would fail, since the Queen of Assistance, ‘Chu Luoxun’ was there, and the male protagonist and the heroine were just there, gaining a “sleeping victory”?
Therefore, many readers felt that ‘Chu Luoxun’ should be the soul of this work and also the main character. The other two were merely faux main characters.
Well, some supporting characters would be well-depicted in many works. They were even more popular than the main characters whereby everyone would still remember their names and forget the names of the main characters, years after going through them. This was mainly because the finale would not differ much, whether the name of the main character being Zhang San or Li Si, or, anything else.
Of course, Gu Yuan in the “Beautiful April” was still liked by many readers. His image of a fallen genius who had risen again had been deeply rooted in their heart. Also, many praised him for being loyal to Lin Meiyue.
He was not obtuse. Although he was sentimental in love relationships, he was responsible. By this, Lin Meiyue would remain intensely secure and said that she feels at ease whenever she is with him.
The male protagonist is very charming in term of his personality. This why there was the fan club of ‘Chu Luoxun,’ passionately helping her by hinting to Leng Zi, directly and indirectly, to let her replace Lin Meiyue. She and Gu Yuan were a better match, even in music. This was the resonance between the geniuses!
As ‘Chu Luoxun’s’ fan club gained more momentum, the latest issue of “Mengya” was published
The diehard fan club of ‘Chu Luoxun’ and Jiang Qing the Little Angel, the desk mate of Zhao Youyue bought the magazine as soon as it was published, anticipating the next batch of laughter that Goddess Chu would bring in this issue.
However, the place where the words “laughter and happiness” would commonly be seen would be “the laughter and happiness in a good game.”
