Do You Still Hate Her? 38 – Absurd Romance Compilation
Ye Lu is really happy.
Since he already knew he was going to be eliminated anyway, he simply smiled widely, and his big eyes almost narrowed to slits with joy.
As for the rule of only being able to say two words? He completely disregarded it.
Whenever he heard praise, he would even politely say, “No, no, I’m not as good as you all say.”
Although he responded this way, his face clearly said, ‘Keep praising me’ and ‘Don’t stop.’
Shang Lu raised her hand and covered her chin with it.
Indeed, she was amazed, and she couldn’t help but praise, “Awesome.”
Although Shang Lu didn’t use reduplicative words, Ye Lu had already been eliminated, so she didn’t need to face any punishment anymore.
The viewers who were watching the livestream.
[Did Ye Lu lose? I feel like he’s even happier than if he had won.]
[They really live up to being in the creative field. Their skill in giving compliments is so high that each one of them could teach a class. And they’re not empty compliments; they seem to have a real connection to Ye Lu’s actual situation. You can tell that he’s genuinely touched by them.]
[Don’t talk about Ye Lu; if this many people were showering me with sincere compliments, who could resist feeling happy?]
When the program team announced Yelv Lu’s elimination and the end of the date with Shang Lu, Ye Lu looked at Shang Lu and pointed at her with one finger, saying, “This move is truly cunning!”
While saying this, Ye Lu quickly covered his face, feeling a bit embarrassed, but he admitted, “But I… really like it!”
As he was taken away by the people in black, Ye Lu didn’t forget to remind his fans in front of the camera to study hard and that he would evaluate their progress next time.
Ye Lu’s fans : “?”
Is it really Ye Lu who is being punished? Why do I feel like it’s us? 🥺]
[Old fans are tearfully taking out pen and paper to make notes. I can’t come up with better compliments than these big shots, so I’ll just copy them and recite them at the airport next time.]
Looking at Ye Lu’s departing figure, Shang Lu nonchalantly extended her five fingers and waved them, then solemnly announced, “Successful breakup.”
After saying this, Shang Lu looked at Sweetie Donut and smiled, saying, “You’re really amazing; I’m so grateful to you.”
On the surface, Donut maintained a calm demeanor and replied, “You’re welcome, it’s the least we can do.”
While speaking, Donut’s gaze lingered on the hat in Shang Lu’s hand.
Shang Lu also followed Donut’s gaze and her expression stiffened slightly.
In her hand was a very ordinary light purple fisherman’s hat, with a cute little sun badge specially pinned by Lin Yanyan.
The last time Shang Lu wore this hat was also at this school, and she also met Donut. They even attended a class together.
Shang Lu felt a slight sense of guilt.
But fortunately, Donut didn’t stare at the hat for too long. She probably didn’t remember. At this moment, her classmates had also gathered around, expressing their desire to take photos and get autographs with Shang Lu.
Shang Lu naturally agreed with a smile, cooperating throughout the process.
Some of these classmates looked familiar to Shang Lu; maybe she had seen them when she visited their class before.
Finally, Shang Lu looked at Donut and proactively asked, “Do you want to take a photo together?”
Donut hesitated for a moment but immediately opened her phone.
Shang Lu stood by Donut’s side, placed one hand on her shoulder, and recreated the pose from their previous photo shoot in the mascot costumes, relying on her memory.
Then, Donut took out a notebook and, since her face was already fully exposed in the show, said, “My… my friend also likes you. Can you write a message for her?”
“Sure,” Shang Lu took the notebook and asked, “What’s her name?”
Donut thought for a moment, “You can just draw a moon.”
Shang Lu earnestly drew a moon on the paper and then, following Donut’s instructions, wrote a message wishing the friend a happy marriage. However, she didn’t sign her own name; instead, she drew a little deer’s head.
Shang Lu’s drawing skills are average, but because it’s a simple sketch, the little deer looks quite cute.
[Hahaha, the other person used the moon as their name, so Shang Lu also drew a little deer instead of her name.]
[Our Lulu is quite cute!]
After Shang Lu handed the notebook to Sweetie Donut, Shang Lu praised again, “I’ve seen the video you edited for me, the keyframes are super cool.”
Sweetie Donut was trying to act calm and composed, but in an instant, she couldn’t hold it in, and her face turned red all the way to her ears.
She said, “Just a hobby, I edit casually.”
Although Sweetie Donut said this, another part of her was going crazy.
Ah, Shang Lu actually watched the video she edited! Shang Lu even praised her editing skills! This is too happy!
—Stay calm, stay calm, don’t make a fool of yourself.
In an instant, Sweetie Donut felt full of energy, wishing to go back to the dormitory immediately and spend three days and nights editing a highlight reel for Shang Lu, making the entire internet admire Shang Lu’s beauty.
[Sweetie Donut looks so calm. For a moment, I can’t tell who the fan is between her and Shang Lu.]
[I also think Sweetie Donut is acting so calm… but wait, her face is as red as a lobster.]
[When Sweetie Donut left, she walked with the same hand and foot, what is she pretending to be calm for? Hahaha.]
[Maybe it’s because she used to be a hater turned fan.]
[Don’t say that, even when Sweetie Donut was a hater of Shang Lu, she spent money to buy ten bags of pig feed to help Shang Lu get first place in the game.]
[Even when she didn’t like Shang Lu, she still did things to help Shang Lu. Maybe this is destiny, the person she’s meant to become a fan of in the future.]
Since Ye Lu has been eliminated, Shang Lu is now free for the next period of time, and she can move around the campus freely.
Shang Lu took a moment to think and then reached out to touch her own stomach.
She hadn’t eaten much in the morning, and she still had a bit of appetite left.
The sweet and sour spare ribs at the cafeteria were delicious the last time she came.
However, Shang Lu had arrived too early, and the stir-fry section of the cafeteria hadn’t opened yet, so she looked disappointed.
[Shang Lu can’t have the sweet and sour spare ribs, how unfortunate]
[Shang Lu has a look that says, ‘I should have eliminated Ye Lu later,’ hahaha.]
Shang Lu started to feel bored and was about to leave after accepting a grilled sausage and some snacks that a helpful classmate had offered her.
But just before leaving, she noticed a boy and a girl in the corner arguing.
They both looked very angry, and it seemed like they were on the verge of tears.
Shang Lu found it very strange. Shouldn’t an argument involve one person scolding the other? Why were both of them about to cry?
So Shang Lu walked over.
