Please Like Her 10 – Let me check who my new husband is… Shang Lu?!
At this moment, Cen Yan half-jokingly interjected, “Is Director Song already preparing for the next movie? Can I be considered?”
Hearing her words, Song Zeqian looked over and seemed to seriously consider it for a moment before saying, “You can audition for the role of the second female lead.”
The smile on Cen Yan’s face faded slightly as she asked, “Has the first female lead already been cast? Is it someone I know from the industry?”
Song Zeqian replied very directly, “Not yet, but your age isn’t suitable for the first female lead. I plan to cast a newcomer.”
Song Zeqian might as well have said, ‘You’re too old for the role.’
Cen Yan smiled and just said, “Let’s discuss it further after the show ends,” which was essentially her way of expressing reluctance.
What kind of joke was this? She was a two-time award-winning actress. If the first female lead was a highly respected senior in the industry, she might reluctantly step aside. But how could she possibly give way to a newcomer?
Song Zeqian naturally sensed Cen Yan’s reluctance. Some things didn’t need to be said too explicitly, anyway. Cen Yan wasn’t even on his shortlist of candidates.
After a few pleasantries, the program team gave them fifteen minutes, during which each person could ask questions to the two groups they were most suspicious of.
They exchanged some questions, but no glaring inconsistencies were found.
[Now that everyone is present and questioning, what can they find?]
[Actually, the key here is for each group to remember what they’ve answered so they don’t give conflicting answers later. That’s what would reveal a flaw.]
[I see now!]
The first activity of the day was a gift exchange.
The regular guests and the friends invited for this episode had to enter two different rooms with identical gifts. They would then swap rooms, and if they could successfully identify the gift their ‘friend’ had given them, they’d earn a point, with a maximum of two points.
Today, everyone had to carry the gift from the friend throughout the day’s recording.
The rooms were filled with various items, almost like they had gathered all the popular gift ideas from the internet.
Shang Lu didn’t hesitate and picked up a prominent KT cat plushie—it was something Tang Qingqing liked. Tang Qingqing even had a small pin of it on her outfit today, making it easy to recognize.
Others also made their selections one by one.
Everyone was contemplating what kind of item would be most representative.
Except for Ye Lu, who simply grabbed a rather scary-looking mask and exclaimed, “Isn’t this so cool!”
Lin Yanyan asked directly, “Does this have something to do with your friendship?”
Ye Lu responded confidently, “No, but I like it.”
Shang Lu said, “…This is for a friend, not for you to choose a gift for yourself.”
Ye Lu exclaimed, “!”
Is that so?
After thinking for a moment, Ye Lu still couldn’t bear to put down this mask.
Well, since he didn’t know what Yan Yu liked, he might as well choose something he liked!
Soon, everyone made their selections, and the guests swapped rooms to claim the gifts their friends had chosen.
As soon as they arrived in the new room, Ye Lu’s laughter was loud, “Who prepared this gift? A wig, hahaha!”
[Hahaha, a wig? This gift is really embarrassing!]
[It reminds me of a certain <Love Is Love>’s male guest who came here and lost his wig during th escape room challenge.]
[You might as well just call out Wang Hanfei’s name!]
[<Love Is Love>’s program team is also quite unethical. After they went back, they actually played that video in front of other female guests, and Wang Hanfei completely lost the right to date.]
[Even Female#3 directly commented, “I’m afraid his family has a bald gene that might affect the children,” hahaha]
At this moment, Ye Lu picked up the men’s wig on the table, put his hand on Song Zeqian’s shoulder, and waved the wig in the air while calling for Xu Ze to join them, saying, “Let’s compare, the three of us, to see who is balder and who needs it more!”
Song Zeqian didn’t push Ye Lu away but instead looked at him with a disdainful expression and asked, “Your hair has been dyed many times.”
Ye Lu replied nonchalantly, “Of course, I’m an idol, changing hair color for the stage is common.”
Xu Ze remained silent and just looked at Ye Lu’s head.
Ye Lu : “…?”
Why were they looking at him like that?
Lin Yanyan burst into laughter, “Your hair is the most fragile among all of us! The dyeing has done so much damage!”
Ye Lu couldn’t believe it, “Are you kidding? I’m not bald. Every time the stylist praises me for having the most hair in our group!”
Ye Lu reached out and touched his own hair, then looked at 宋泽谦’s head with a challenging gaze…
Wait, why did he have so much hair?
Ye Lu couldn’t believe it. He reached out and grabbed a handful, and his eyes emitted an envious light.
Such lush hair! It felt amazing when he ran his fingers through it!
Ye Lu couldn’t believe it, so he reached out and tugged again, and was made sure that Song Zeqian didn’t wear a wig.
Ye Lu shouted, “Impossible! Someone in the creative field can’t possibly have so much hair!”
Song Zeqian sneered, “Genetics.”
Then Ye Lu looked at Xu Ze again and reached out to tug at Xu Ze’s hair, comparing it once more.
Lin Yanyan ruthlessly shattered Ye Lu’s illusion: “Stop struggling, Xu Ze has more hair than you.”
Ye Lu had always taken pride in his hair. After all, in over a hundred performances, the countless dye jobs he had done for the sake of performance had sometimes made his scalp ache. But relatively speaking, his hair was quite resilient for an idol.
However, today he discovered that the hair of ordinary people, who didn’t dye it much, was so lush and jet-black!
*Sigh*…
Ye Lu lowered his head, looking at the wig in his hand, unwilling to accept this fact but forced to do so.
It seemed like this gift could only be given to him.
Maybe Yan Yu also felt sad because of frequent dyeing, he understood.
Trembling, Ye Lu reached out to put on the wig for himself and tidied his hair. With a bitter expression, he looked at the others and asked, “Do I really have to wear this for a day?”
[You brought this upon yourself, Ye Lu.]
[The more I watch this program, the more I believe that Ye Lu is a handsome idiot, hahaha.]
[This wig is just too ugly! Too thick and fake, it looks out of place on Ye Lu’s face. Why would anyone choose something like this?]
[Ye Lu, the program team said ‘carry it for the day,’ not ‘wear it for the day’]
This time, even Jiang Jing couldn’t help but laugh.
Lin Yanyan laughed even more exaggeratedly and then looked at Shang Lu, feeling somewhat strange that she was completely detached from this scene.
Netizens were also puzzled.
[This time, they’re making fun of Ye Lu, but there’s no mention of Shang Lu? I’m not used to this.]
[Maybe Shang Lu is thinking about Wang Hanfei now, hahaha.]
In fact, Shang Lu had completely forgotten about that incident. She just looked at the other gifts on the table with a complicated expression.
A pair of small shoes, smaller than her hands; it was clearly a gift from An Qing to Jiang Jing.
A book on ‘Light and Color Composition,’ a professional book on film creation, could only be for Song Zeqian.
The manga book ‘The Princess’s Self-Cultivation’ was obviously related to Lin Yanyan’s princess nickname.
As for the rest, the basketball couldn’t possibly be for her, right? She didn’t play basketball, and Tang Qingqing had no reason to give her such a gift.
So, there was only a game controller and a wig left.
Ye Lu seemed to have forgotten that, in the story he told, he and Yan Yu had met through playing video games.
And she didn’t play video games either.
So, filtering it down like this…
TQ wants to see her first love again~
