On stage.
Xia Fan bows and exits.
The applause from the audience below is enthusiastic.
"It feels a bit bitter in my heart."
"I initially thought it was about a mentor-student romance, turns out it's about farewell."
"Suddenly reminded me of a time I played a game, took in a newbie disciple just like this, his heart was all about leveling and slaying monsters, but I was just enjoying the scenery in the game, then I couldn't beat him anymore, he went on to mentor someone else."
"I feel this plot really fits some martial arts games."
"You can see it as a master taking in a newbie player, later the disciple learned everything and didn't need the master anymore, their contact gradually lessened, the master eventually quit the game, the disciple grew up and started taking disciples, remembered the master who had always followed him, but couldn't find him anymore."
"Kind of tear-inducing."
"It's clearly not a romance plot, yet it still feels heart-wrenching."
