Do You Still Hate Her? 07 – The most handsome man in Shang Lu’s eyes
It must be said that Song Zeqian and Xu Ze were incredibly lucky. They had no particular strategy and simply walked through without much thought. In the end, when the staff calculated the lit-up buttons, the total time was only seventeen seconds, which was eight seconds lower than the program’s previous record from the five attempts.
The staff members were shocked, and the netizens were equally surprised.
[What kind of great luck is this?]
[They’re amazing! The pressure is on Shang Lu and Yu Su!]
Shang Lu felt somewhat distressed because she knew the chances of winning were actually slim.
But she still looked at Yu Su and said seriously, “I want to win.”
Yu Su nodded and said, “You can step on my back.”
With a smaller landing area, there would be fewer chances of pressing the button.
Shang Lu didn’t respond to Yu Su’s words. Instead, she confirmed again with the program staff, “As long as our feet are still tied together, we can use any method to get from here to there, right?”
The staff nodded, “Yes.”
Shang Lu looked at Yu Su again and asked him, “How strong are your arms?”
Yu Su didn’t understand why Shang Lu asked this question, but still nodded and said, “Very good.”
Yu Su’s mind was a bit confused at the moment. Could it be that Shang Lu…
Wanted him to carry her?
Well, it shouldn’t be impossible. She looks thin, so he should be able to lift her with one hand.
In just a few seconds, Yu Su’s brain had already started thinking about how to lift Shang Lu with one hand without making her uncomfortable.
However, after receiving Yu Su’s affirmation, Shang Lu didn’t rush to pull Yu Su and start the challenge. Instead, she led him towards the edge of the windowsill.
The curtains were pulled open, allowing moonlight to shine in, revealing a bar-like object above their heads.
Shang Lu didn’t know exactly what it was, but she remembered being scared by an NPC hanging from it when they were on the first floor. It should be one of the facilities in the haunted house.
So Shang Lu reached out and grabbed the bar, then looked at Yu Su beside her and said, “We’ll go across… Yes, come and hold on, with your feet dangling. Listen to my commands, one-two-one, one-two-one, one-two-one…”
Yu Su : “…”
What kind of operation is this?
Although Yu Su didn’t understand at all, she still followed Shang Lu’s instructions and grabbed the edge of the parallel bars. The two of them moved together in the air like crabs.
Along the way, except for Yu Su accidentally stepping on a ‘+2 seconds’ button because of his tall stature, the two of them didn’t touch any other buttons and successfully reached the other end of the room.
Everyone : “?”
An unexpected way to clear the level appeared.
Netizens were also completely surprised.
[Hahaha, what on earth is Shang Lu thinking!]
[The key is that she looks so serious! I laughed so hard that my dog called 120 to send me to a mental hospital]
[How strange, let me take another look]
[This is the first time I’ve felt that Shang Lu is so eager to win in this variety show. I hope she will have more desire to win in the future. I want to see even stranger ways to clear the level (definitely not to continue mocking Shang Lu)]
[I figured it out. Shang Lu really doesn’t want to drink bitter gourd juice. She’s working so hard, it makes me cry]
[Already screenshot, it’s perfect for reaction memes]
[Two crabs lost their dreams.jpg.]
Song Zeqian & Xu Ze: “…”
They were convinced of their defeat as well.
Shang Lu and Yu Su, of course, emerged victorious. After successfully obtaining the final piece of the tangram puzzle and undoing the rope tied around their legs, they quickly ran downstairs, taking advantage of this one minute.
Seeing Shang Lu running towards him from afar, Ye Lu was still puzzled and asked, “Why are you running so fast? Is there a wolf chasing you from behind?”
Netizens couldn’t help but sigh at Ye Lu’s ‘naivety.’
[Ye Lu has no idea what Shang Lu has sacrificed for this minute.]
[Stop wasting time and hurry up to solve the tangram, you brat. If you lose this, Shang Lu will definitely not let you off!]
Although Ye Lu didn’t know what had happened, when faced with Shang Lu’s threatening gaze, he immediately picked up the pieces of the tangram and obediently started assembling them.
One minute passed.
Song Zeqian and Xu Ze also came downstairs, but Ye Lu still hadn’t finished solving the tangram.
Lin Yanyan also started to play with the tangram puzzle.
[Hahaha, Ye Lu’s hands are shaking! I can tell!]
[He’s getting anxious, he’s getting anxious, he’s getting anxious!]
[Whether Shang Lu drinks bitter melon juice or not depends on Ye Lu’s abilities!]
Three minutes passed.
But Ye Lu, the more anxious he became, the more mistakes he made, and the more mistakes he made, the more anxious he became.
Shang Lu looked at Ye Lu expressionlessly. She didn’t say anything, but it seemed like she said everything.
After a whistle from the staff announced the end of the time, Ye Lu still couldn’t accept it. He continued to try rearranging the fragments of the tangram puzzle, but he couldn’t manage to assemble them into a square.
On the other side, Lin Yanyan’s voice sounded indignant.
“Why can’t I solve it at all? Is there something wrong with this tangram puzzle?”
Ye Lu immediately revealed an expression of ‘meeting a kindred spirit’ and echoed, saying, “That’s right! I also think it must be a problem with the tangram puzzle!”
The result was what no one expected—
Lin Yanyan and Ye Lu both failed to solve the tangram puzzle. They both stumbled in the final step and everything fell apart.
[What the heck, how did they both fail at this? I can’t stop laughing.]
[Shang Lu’s inner thoughts: I just know I lost just now, why bother?]
[If we put these two ‘geniuses’ of this variety show here, it’s actually not surprising to see this kind of result… Hahaha, I can’t come up with anything more. It’s just a tangram puzzle, is it really that difficult? Or are you both just dumb?]
[Shang Lu, don’t be angry, hahaha, forget it, I won’t try to persuade you anymore, go ahead and hit, just don’t hit his face— Ye Lu’s loyal fan for five years sighs helplessly.]
Shang Lu restrained the urge to twitch her lips, she couldn’t take it anymore.
Fine, they’re both dumb! Why blame the tangram puzzle? What did it do wrong?
So Shang Lu took the tangram puzzle pieces from Ye Lu’s hands and spent half a minute assembling them into a square.
Then she walked over to Lin Yanyan and repeated the same action.
Looking at the completed square in front of them, Lin Yanyan and Ye Lu widened their eyes and felt extremely incredulous.
Lin Yanyan : “Oh my, Shang Lu, you’re so smart!”
Ye Lu : “I should have known to let you do the puzzle!”
Facing the sincere praises of the two people in front of him–
Shang Lu : “…”
Are they being serious?
Or are they just acting?
am so confused, I love it so far but am still looking forward to the ml, right now there’s WAY TOO MANY boys to decide. But am putting my hopes on the chang guy he’s nice. But then…. I might be wrong, cause YuSu has appeared 🥲
Who’s Chang? I don’t think she’ll have any feelings for You Su. I’m thinking that Xu Ze(?) might be a 2nd lead, while Chi guy(the most wealthy) is the male lead.
Xu Ze definitely male lead. Chi Yan from miles away smelled of 2nd lead 😂.
