Chapter 426: 420, why are you crying now?! (Fifth update)_1

By common sense, when someone starts to cry upon mentioning a certain person, such as a victim who has been left with a deep, severe shadow by the suspect, and then they start to cry when they remember that person, it’s a normal phenomenon.

The reporters didn’t know about the existence of Tear Potion, and they were also unaware that Ren He was currently hanging outside the window; they only knew that Liu Yinghai started to cry as soon as he began recalling Ren He...

Was it really that serious? What on earth had Ren He done to Liu Yinghai that was so terrible?

The lead reporter felt that he may have never cried so sadly in his entire life... It couldn’t be that bad, could it? Why don’t you start by telling us what exactly Ren He did to you?!

The reporters were now one hundred percent certain that Ren He must have done something unspeakable to Liu Yinghai!

What kind of things could happen between kids? The reporters, having traveled far and wide, had seen their fair share of the world, and they speculated the worst... Liu Yinghai was good-looking, and, to be honest, he even had a bit of the delicate air of some celebrity divas. Could it be that Ren He had done something to Liu Yinghai?

The reporters shivered. It couldn’t be... could it?!

Now looking at Liu Yinghai’s fair and tender skin, the more they thought about it, the more it bothered them, and the more they thought about it, the more excited they became. The excitement was because this was simply earth-shattering news.

"Green Crop Helmsman Ren He Actually Has Unsavory Habits!"

"Green Crop Helmsman Ren He Actually Has No Interest in Women!"

This was absolutely explosive tabloid news; it was terrifying!

No matter what Liu Yinghai looked like while crying, the reporters were determined to stay right there; they were set on capturing this news. Just one story that could capture the attention of the entire country, and their bonuses for the quarter were too good to imagine!

Ren He, hanging outside, had no clue what the reporters were thinking inside. As Liu Yinghai wailed, the reporters waited patiently. The whole scene was eerie no matter how you looked at it.

What he didn’t understand was, with the situation having turned into such a mess, how could the reporters not have ended the interview?

Liu Yinghai had cried for over twenty minutes, and when he finally stopped, the reporters’ eyes lit up: "Classmate, have your emotions settled down? If so, shall we continue the interview?"

"Okay," said Liu Yinghai firmly.

The reporter asked tentatively, "Just now, you began crying as soon as we mentioned your opinion of Ren He. I would like to know if there’s some unknown story here? Don’t worry, as long as you tell us, we will definitely help you report it and get you the justice you deserve!"

Ren He, who was hanging outside, went dark with anger. Are they still interviewing after all this? Cry and then continue to spill the beans? I admire your guts!

But just as the reporter finished speaking, and Liu Yinghai was about to respond, he began to cry again...

The reporters inhaled sharply. Such deep emotional trauma... to cry again...

But they couldn’t keep waiting; it was almost seven o’clock and nobody had eaten yet. They had just cried for more than twenty minutes; if he was going to cry for another twenty, who could stand it?

The lead reporter spoke earnestly, "Um... young friend, could we finish the interview before you continue crying?"

In their view, crying was something that should be controlled by one’s emotional will. As long as they could soothe Liu Yinghai, stopping him from crying and letting everyone wrap up the interview, then after they left, he could cry as long as he wanted—if he cried himself to death, the news would be even more valuable.

To tell the truth, there were plenty of good reporters. In his past life, the reporter Ren He most admired was Bai Yansong, who dared to speak the truth.

But there were also unscrupulous reporters—not to say that they were of particularly bad character, but rather that they had seen too much of society’s dark side and had become numb to it.

Ordinary people, when they witness injustice, are filled with righteous indignation, and when they see something tragic, they feel heartbroken and empathetic, but these folks have seen too much and have come to view it all as commonplace.

So to them, Liu Yinghai’s tears weren’t as important as the news story itself.

These three were comforting Liu Yinghai merely to make the interview go more smoothly, but... the effects of Tear Potion can’t be stopped at will.

Forget about them, even Ren He couldn’t do it; once Tear Potion was used, there was no way to make it stop, as it had no off switch.

Ren He didn’t mind hanging outside; after all, someone who had climbed Dawn Wall wouldn’t be too bothered by this, and he could keep changing positions to relax his muscles.

But even he was growing impatient—these reporters were remarkably persistent. Were they really that interested in his dark secrets?!

It’s true what they say, the human heart is not like water, and trivial matters can ripple into waves. Everyone was living their lives just fine, so why stir up trouble for others, why not just live well and leave it at that?

The lead reporter was still earnestly comforting Liu Yinghai, "Young friend, let’s finish up this interview, all right? We feel your pain as if it were our own...

No sooner had he finished speaking than he himself began to cry... and outside, Ren He marveled that it was indeed rare for him to use Tear Potion three times in a single day. The last time was at the 6,000-meter camp on Mount Everest dealing with the Taiwanese team, right?

Anyway, he didn’t feel guilty about it. In his past life, when he was in high school, one of his classmates was Taiwanese. Although a bit pretentious at times, that guy was genuinely nice, had moved to the mainland with his family for business, and liked it there. He was cordial and of high caliber.

So it goes to show, there are good and bad people everywhere. It’s not the land that’s bad but some vested interests trying to protect their benefits.

Once the lead reporter started crying, everyone else was baffled. The two cameramen and the assistant didn’t understand: they knew this reporter best and had never seen him cry.

He had just said he empathized, but now he was crying too. Did he have a similar experience? This... was quite a hefty piece of information!

And his crying made Liu Yinghai, who was already crying, baffled. My incurable problem is acting up, but why are you crying too?

The entire Liu family’s living room plunged into a bizarre atmosphere, with two people crying face to face, almost ready to embrace and weep together in their sorrow.

In the end, it was Liu Yinghai who stopped crying first; naturally, since he started first, he also ended first. The tables had turned, and Liu Yinghai began to console the reporter: "Would you please stop crying...?"

Ren He, witnessing this scene from outside, couldn’t contain his amusement, tempted to make the entire room burst into tears. Unfortunately, the others were innocent, and though Tear Potion wasn’t harmful to the body, it shouldn’t be used indiscriminately, especially since he didn’t have many doses left...

However, to Ren He’s surprise, this reporter seemed to have stronger willpower than Liu Yinghai. While Liu Yinghai couldn’t even speak when crying, this reporter managed to persist and instruct while in tears, "Don’t mind me; just go on and say what you need to!"

Although the reporter didn’t understand why he was crying, he didn’t want to waste any more time on this interview. He was determined to push through and wrap it up quickly so he could go back—that was the sensible thing to do!

With Liu Yinghai’s scoop, there was no need to interview the other students; this story was more than enough.

From outside, Ren He genuinely admired their determination to continue the interview. He was now considering a question: he needed to find a permanent solution for Liu Yinghai and this reporter, as he couldn’t hang around there every day.

It might be fine at night, but during the day, if someone saw him, they might mistake him for a burglar!
