Do You Still Hate Her? 37 – A romance variety show that doesn’t feel quite romance
On the other side…
Yu Su glanced at Ou Yi who firmly pressed the button representing Ye Lu’s name, making it clear that even if Ye Lu hadn’t done anything, Ou Yi wanted to eliminate Ye Lu, which made Yu Su fell silent.
After all, Ye Lu was also his teammate. Shouldn’t he do something to help Ye Lu?
But when he saw Ye Lu holding up the bitter gourd juice, about to pour it into Shang Lu’s mouth, he followed Ou Yi’s lead and also pressed his hand on the button representing Ye Lu.
Forget it, Ou Yi was right.
It’s better to eliminate Ye Lu early.
Although compared to the terrifying strawberry stir-fry, Shang Lu would still prefer bitter gourd juice.
Shang Lu had finished drinking most of the bottle of bitter gourd juice, and because she had made a pained expression that didn’t fit the [Cute] persona, she was shocked once. She and Ye Lu immediately entered into another showdown.
Soon, the vehicle arrived at its destination, the university where Lin Yanyan was shooting <Sweet Cherry>.
Because <Sweet Cherry> had been filming here for a while, the students here were already used to having the film crew around, making it easier than negotiating with another school.
At this moment, the program team added a new rule : if one person in a couple eliminated their partner, the relationship between the couple would end immediately. The first person to eliminate their partner in each scene would have their character’s breakdown count reset to zero.
In other words, every couple was also competing against each other.
If they could eliminate their “romantic partner” first, they would gain a significant advantage in this round.
[What kind of romance competition is this? Haha, in the end, it’s all about sabotaging each other.]
[Every couple wants to get rid of each other (joking), it’s really a case of outward harmony but inward disharmony.]
Shang Lu looked at Ye Lu and said, “Wait for me for just a teensy-weensy while, I’m going to the restroom.”
Naturally, Ye Lu didn’t suspect anything and nodded in agreement.
Shang Lu dashed directly into the restroom, and the cameraman was also waiting at the door.
A girl who had just come out revealed a shy expression when she recognized Shang Lu. “Shang Lu, I’m your fan, and I’m also studying acting. I want to become someone like you in the future.”
“That’s wonderful.” Shang Lu spoke a few encouraging words and then placed her hands on the girl’s shoulders, saying, “So your acting class is here? Can you take me to your class? I need a favor from you.”
The girl hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Ye Lu waited for ten minutes, but Shang Lu didn’t return.
He looked a bit puzzled in the direction Shang Lu had left, starting to wonder if the bottle of bitter gourd juice wasn’t clean.
Since it was class time and they were in a teaching building, there weren’t many people passing by at the moment.
Ye Lu didn’t want to continue waiting for Shang Lu, but standing there, he was quite eye-catching. Occasionally, passing students looked at him with excited eyes.
Ye Lu no longer felt impatient; he immediately transformed into a cold and handsome guy, politely raising his hand to greet the passing students.
And at this moment, two very beautiful girls suddenly appeared, discussing loudly.
“Oh my gosh! It’s Ye Lu, it’s Ye Lu! He’s so handsome!”
“Can we go up and take a photo with him? He’s so charming!”
“But I’m too scared…”
Ye Lu’s lips curled up into a smile, but he always remembered that he was a cold and aloof handsome guy. He just looked at the two girls, waved to them, and said, “Sure.”
To maintain his image, he intentionally paused for two seconds and continued, “Wefie.”
It means they can take a wefie together.
Two girls hurriedly rushed out, one on the left and one on the right, standing on either side of Ye Lu, taking photos with him.
Immediately, one of the girls looked at the photo and asked, “Can you smile, please?”
The girl’s expression was sincere, filled with anticipation.
Ye Lu hesitated for a moment.
Then, Ye Lu smiled and took a photo with them.
But—
The next five people who came to take photos with him all asked him to smile. There must be something fishy going on among them!
What’s more, they all praised him with the same two words. Besides ‘so handsome,’ can’t they come up with something more original? He was getting tired of it!
So when he finished taking a photo with the fifth fan and saw that her phone screen saver was a picture of Ou Yi, Ye Lu suddenly woke up.
Ye Lu looked directly at her and said, “Shang Lu.”
In the other person’s bewildered eyes.
He continued with one more word, “Conspiracy?”
It was Shang Lu’s conspiracy.
Seeing Ye Lu staring at the fan’s phone screen saver, the cameraman also took a sneaky close-up shot.
[Hahaha, Ye Lu finally realized that Shang Lu was up to something! I have to say, Shang Lu’s sense of humor doubles when she’s seriously playing a game!]
[Let me explain, Shang Lu just went straight to the acting classroom and had classmates from the acting class come and take a photo with Ye Lu, and they were supposed to praise him to make him smile, hahaha.]
[Ye Lu lost himself in the fans’ compliments and only snapped out of it when he saw Ou Yi’s photo.]
Ye Lu saw the guilty expression on the fan’s face, and Ye Lu can be sure. So he waits for the sixth fan to appear and walks directly in their direction, completely ignoring the compliments from the other person about his looks. Sure enough, he saw Shang Lu in the corner.
Shang Lu smiles and opens both hands to make a six, saying, “You’ve violated the rules six times already. I just need three more to win. Keep it up!”
“No way,” Ye Lu pauses and continues, “Don’t dream.”
Ye Lu is very confident; he can’t be defeated by the same move ten times!
Shang Lu also doesn’t intend to continue, as she understands this principle as well.
However, at this moment, a dozen or so students suddenly run over from a distance, shouting, “Ye Lu! Ye Lu!”
But just as these people rush over, Ye Lu looks at Shang Lu in confusion : “?”
—Does this have to do with you again?
Shang Lu: “!”
Shang Lu was about to deny it, but among the newly arrived group of students, she sees a familiar girl with silver-black hair.
It’s Sweetie Donut.
The next second.
The newly arrived students all gather around Ye Lu.
Shang Lu looks at Sweetie Donut with confusion, who hasn’t approached yet, and walks over to Sweetie Donut, using her eyes to ask what’s going on.
Sweetie Donut’s face turns slightly red, but she still looks calm on the surface and says, “I heard about your mission from some students in the acting class. They’re not the type to give compliments. I just watched the livestream and saw them only saying ‘handsome’. These things should be left to us in the creative field.”
Shang Lu is momentarily puzzled, “Your major is?”
Although she attended a class together with Sweetie Donut last time, she still isn’t too sure.
Sweetie Donut smiled and confidently replied, “Drama and Film-and-Television Literature major is all about scriptwriting.”
Next, Shang Lu witnessed the exaggerated compliments from these professional students that left her in awe.
From popular internet slang to Shakespearean-style praises, they had it all.
Just as Donut had said, through their praises for Ye Lu, the students fully demonstrated their professional competence.
These students seemed to be competing with each other, one after another, without stopping, each trying to outdo the previous one in compliments, striving for higher levels of praise.
Ye Lu remained expressionless.
The corner of Ye Lu’s lips twitched.
Ye Lu couldn’t hold back anymore. It was as if there was a huge tail behind him, accompanied by compliments that kept escalating.
Even if the electric shocks from the wristband kept hitting Ye Lu, he didn’t care now because he only wanted to respond with the most wonderful smile in the world.
It wasn’t until Ye Lu locked eyes with Shang Lu not far away that he suddenly woke up, realizing the current situation.
So happy… No, what a cunning move!
But…
He was willing to lose today!
More praise! Keep it coming! His fans should take a good look and learn. In the future, when they compliment him, they should all follow this standard and go all out!
Really can’t help but feel sorry for him.. where are his actual fans? Shang Lu’s actively try to help her. She hired Ou Yi’s to help her but Ye Lu’s only appear in the livestream with comments like “even if you’re silly mom still loves you” partly mocking him along the way.
Keep the praises coming 😂
Rainbow farts! many and varied rainbow farts everywhere.
🤣🤣🤣
