"Dad, what are you looking at?"
He Miao could hardly believe her eyes.
"Watching the trailer for 'The Legend of the Wind'! Wow, Xiao He is finally acting in a martial arts film again. The plot looks quite interesting..."
He's father casually pushed up his glasses, staring at He Miao with an expression of utter disbelief, "I've always liked this young man's TV dramas, why are you making such a fuss?"
"You also know Xiao He?"
He Miao had barely uttered the words when she slapped her forehead, "Oh right, I almost forgot about 'The Thief Catcher' we watched together."
That's right, she wasn't even a fan of Xiao He back then; she simply opened "The Thief Catcher" during that hot summer.
So that afternoon, the whole family gathered in front of the TV to watch "The Thief Catcher," completely engrossed.
Xiao He's portrayal of Shen Jue, with his sharp bone-scraping knife skills and superb martial arts, is outstanding. Even though he is not the main character, he still leaves a lasting impression on He Miao.
Since then, He Miao has officially become a fan of Xiao He's works, following his every step of the way.
Because she was studying at a university in another city, He Miao had no idea that her father was already very familiar with Xiao He.
After ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) all, her father was an old-fashioned man who loved reading martial arts novels and only read martial arts novels. He Miao really couldn't associate her idol worship with her father.
"Dad, when did you start enjoying watching TV dramas?"
There's a sense of disorientation in the rice seedlings, as if the barriers of age have been broken down.
"What? Can't I even watch some TV shows at home?"
He's father looked at He Miao with disdain, "I've watched quite a few dramas in the past few years! Especially dramas featuring young people, I've seen so many! For example, 'The Fog Tracking,' and that guy called Shining, oh my, that Meng Zetian, he's so infuriating! Your mother and I were so angry that we didn't watch any dramas for two days."
"Is your mom pursuing it too?"
The rice seedlings are bright red and vibrant, almost in a daze.
"Yeah, your mom just finished watching 'Cang Yue Jie' a few days ago!"
The father also showed the seedlings some historical records.
He Miao glanced around and realized that her parents really did watch all kinds of dramas, including the manga adaptation drama "Yu Ye" from earlier this year, which was already at the very end of its final episode.
Even though he hadn't read the original comic, He's father still couldn't resist commenting: "This show is pretty good! The old men and women have become young people! Wow, they were really handsome when they were young, only barely on par with your dad."
"It's just so annoying, it's not even finished updating yet! I wonder when the second season will be released..."
Seedlings: ...
Good grief, you guys have even watched all the manga adaptations?
It has a strange, unsettling feeling.
Has Xiao He's fame spread to the older generation without anyone noticing?
So, Brother Xiao's product is actually a small box suitable for all ages?
The seedlings suddenly seemed to have aged like Xiao He.
Just as He Miao was rebuilding Xiao Ge's image and status in her heart, He's mother also came out of the kitchen.
"Oh my? Xiao He has a new drama?"
He's mother was clearly more excited than He's father; obviously, she was a bigger fan of the show than He's father, who was a big fan of the drama.
Father He beckoned to Mother He to come and sit down: "Come on, take a look at this trailer! Finally, a martial arts drama has been released. It looks really good!"
So He Mu also came over and sat down to watch.
He Miao: "..."
He Miao obediently sat on the sofa to watch.
-
The first thing to appear in the picture is a raging fire.
A child stands in the fire, looking blankly at everything in front of him.
Happy families, blissful childhoods... countless images flashed by, only to be completely consumed by the fire and vanished without a trace.
The flames swept across the eaves, and then a tall, slender figure stood silently on the roof.
The young man was dressed in black, holding a long sword, his hair tied up high and the ends fluttering in the night.
When the camera panned across him and followed his gaze downwards, it was discovered that a young woman dressed in fine clothes was standing under the eaves.
The woman looked up at the people on the roof with a complicated gaze, her eyes glistening with tears in the moonlight.
Is revenge really that important?
As the jade artifact shattered on the ground, a group of experts darted through the woods. A young man in black, wearing a straw hat, led the way. Although he was on the run, his agility was remarkable, and he moved with an elegant grace as he darted through the trees.
"Zheng—"
The blade was drawn, its cold light flashing, a sharp sound mingled with the rustling wind, and it streaked through the air with a brilliant light—
The young man under the straw hat had a stern expression and piercing eyes, his pupils even reflecting the scorching firelight of that night: "After that night, I lived only for revenge."
"Kill anyone who blocks my way."
"Those who deceive me will be killed."
"Those who fool me, kill them."
The next moment, the straw hat fluttered in the air, and the young man's eyes were fixed on his enemy.
"Everything else is meaningless to me."
"Thump, thump, thump—"
As the intense drumbeats begin, a young man walks through the countryside, sword in hand, lightly equipped, from spring to winter, his gaze gradually hardening.
Other characters also appeared one by one, becoming the figures encountered on the road of youth.
It seemed as if their divergent paths were foreshadowed from the very beginning...
-
"Oh dear, it won't air until next week?"
Upon seeing the time displayed at the end of the trailer, He's father slapped his thigh.
Mother He was also a little upset and glared at Father He: "Then why did you call me? It's so annoying."
Father He: ...
Okay, okay, it's his fault.
He's father reluctantly turned on his anti-Japanese war drama, while He Miao grinned and approached her father, saying, "Hey, Dad, since you guys watch dramas so often, you must have a yearly subscription, right? Can I borrow it for a bit..."
He's father glared at him: "So you're allowed to binge-watch TV shows in college? We're getting old, we should be enjoying life, but what about you? You're still thinking about watching TV shows instead of studying. You should take the civil service exam soon so I can finally relax..."
He Miao knew things were going badly, so while her father was trying to shift the blame, she slipped back to her room.
Elsewhere, fans of the show were only promoting "The Legend of Chasing the Wind" online, unaware of the "seriousness" of the matter.
It wasn't until one day when they saw a post on their WeChat Moments from an elder in their family showing the trailer for "The Legend of Chasing the Wind" that they realized something was wrong.
P.S.: This trailer was recorded by the elder holding a mobile phone.
When the recording trailer, filled with moiré patterns, appeared on WeChat Moments, the fans of the Little Box fell silent.
Looking at the copy again—
【Support Xiao He's new drama! Please give it lots of likes! 【roses】【roses】】
Small box of powder: ?
ah?
Such a retro recording style, and such simple and unadorned emoji.
But who is this?
Why does it look so familiar?
Uh-huh?
Something seems off.
A few days later, netizens, belatedly realizing the situation, once again launched a heated discussion online.
【Here's a ghost story: both my mom and dad know Xiao He.】
【I originally thought Brother Xiao was relatively unknown, but when I went back home today, I found out that all the elders in my family know him.】
【When did Xiao He become niche?! Hahaha, although Brother Xiao hasn't acted in many TV dramas, all of them have been huge hits! Especially "Shining Star" and "Sea Fog Tracking," these two dramas have a very high percentage of older viewers, otherwise do you think these statistics are all fabricated by fans?】
【ah?】
