Please Like Her 12 – Both fall off the horse.
The assistant director, while running, felt that no one was chasing him anymore so he couldn’t help but turn around and saw this scene, bursting into laughter.
Then Ye Lu suddenly rushed up and hugged the assistant director with all his strength.
Assistant director : “?”
Mom, save him!
Tang Qingqing, from her initial indifference to the point where her mouth seemed to be able to fit an egg at the end, had never participated in such a scriptless variety show before. The guests and staff were all in chaos (?).
Just as Tang Qingqing was about to ask Shang Lu what was going on, she saw Shang Lu join the battlefield as well. She didn’t know where Shang Lu had found a water gun, but Shang Lu delivered a fatal blow to the fleeing director.
The scene can be described as the most chaotic in history.
The director howled in pain, “Can’t afford to lose! None of you can afford to lose!!”
Shang Lu shouted back loudly, “You invited the guests yourself! Bear with it!”
Tang Qingqing : 😳
It seemed a bit fun.
Or maybe… she should join in too?
[Help! The assistant director has pinned Ye Lu down, and the situation has changed!]
[Ye Lu got up! He escaped! He… oh no, he found a weapon! He’s back again!]
[I’m a passerby, is this a scene of human atavism?]
[Hahaha, everyone has finally gone crazy! So this is the true version of ‘Mutual Destruction’!]
[I declare! There is no normal person left in this show!]
In the end.
The entire program team, from guests to staff, didn’t look clean at all. Even the cameraman was constantly injured during the shooting, and it seemed like everyone had rolled out of a mud pit.
The camera panned to the courtyard, and everyone stood in two rows.
The director and assistant director stood in the middle and bowed seriously to the camera, “We apologize for providing a bad viewing experience for the audience. The part we just showed was not planned in our program.”
[No problem at all, I love watching it, hahaha.]
[I think it’s pretty good. Can we have more? Let’s have a one-on-one competition in a ring (just kidding).]
Shang Lu touched the paint smeared on her face from who knows where, smiled at the camera, and gave a thumbs up.
[Shang Lu: Are you all happy? Well, I’m very happy.]
[You brought this upon yourself, Shang Lu. Let’s all extinguish the fire together, hahaha.]
And next, under the program team’s ‘coercion and persuasion,’ everyone obediently apologized to the camera and promised to follow the rules of the game in the future.
They said so, but whether they would actually do it remained to be seen.
After a day of constant commotion, almost everyone had one big word written on their faces—
Exhaustion.
Especially the flying guests1, before coming to this show, they never expected that it would actually be a show that required ‘running.’
Is this <The Most Hated Her and Him>? It’s clearly <Run, You Unlucky Bunch>!
Especially Chen Zi’an, he was so tired that he felt his legs trembling just walking.
He didn’t want to be a part of this ‘battle’ at all, but Ye Lu’s indiscriminate attacks dragged him into the battlefield.
Chen Zi’an couldn’t care about Shang Lu now. He had no spare thoughts at all, he just wanted to lie down and sleep.
But Cen Yan seemed to be having a good time, her personality was naturally more extroverted and cheerful, and she said half-jokingly despite her somewhat sore feet, “Today’s exercise quota is met, my agent won’t nag me to lose weight when I go back.”
There was only one exception, and that was Ou Yi.
He still looked full of vitality, and even after hearing the recording was over, he came to ask Shang Lu if she wanted to play cards together.
Shang Lu asked him, “Is it the kind where we stick sticky notes on our faces if we lose?”
“Not sticky notes,” Ou Yi shook his head, then pulled out a handful of poop shaped stickers from his pocket.
Ye Lu’s voice sounded angry, “Count me in! We didn’t determine a winner last time!”
Shang Lu : “…”
In the end.
Shang Lu, Lin Yanyan, Ye Lu, and Ou Yi, the four of them were still gathered in the same room.
The recording in this small room had not closed.
Ou Yi and Lin Yanyan took turns in front of the camera, swearing that they would be the first in the “Fight the Landlord2 Championship” this time.
Shang Lu looked at Ye Lu and asked, “Aren’t you going to say a few words?”
Ye Lu sneered, “I won’t do such childish things, I’ll win them with my skills.”
Shang Lu : “Is that so? Can you take out the little ghosts you’re hiding under your legs first?”
Ye Lu : 😳
When did he get exposed?
[When Ye Lu hid the first card, Shang Lu was already watching him, but he only paid attention to Ou Yi and Lin Yanyan and didn’t notice, hahaha]
[Brother, this is a live broadcast, tens of millions of viewers are watching!]
Lin Yanyan was angry, “You took them all, how are we supposed to play?”
Ye Lu was also angry, “I only took two cards, didn’t I leave you two?”
Lin Yanyan threw her cards in front of Ye Lu and said, “You have no shame? Take a look here, not a single joker card left! You took four! Shameless!”
Ye Lu looked even more innocent : “I only took two!”
Ye Lu wouldn’t lie, and a deck of cards couldn’t possibly be only had two joker cards short, so—
Shang Lu fell silent for a moment, then looked at Ou Yi.
Ou Yi’s smile froze on his face.
Shang Lu didn’t say a word, but reached out his hand towards Ou Yi.
Ou Yi obediently took out two cards from his sleeve and handed them over, saying, “I was wrong.”
Netizens : “?”
[Oh? Ou Yi, how could you?]
[Ou Yi was cheating long before others arrived. He tampered with the cards when he was bringing them, haha.]
[I’m dying of laughter. Ye Lu and Ou Yi, the useless conspiracy increased!]
Next up was several hours of card game warfare.
Shang Lu’s face remained clean, while the other three had their faces covered in stickers, and they were running out of space to stick them, even considering their necks.
Ye Lu couldn’t take it anymore: “Shang Lu, why haven’t you lost a single round? You’re the one who’s really cheating!”
Shang Lu smiled and looked at the three in front of her, pointing at each one and giving her evaluation.
“Ou Yi, roll the dice, leave it all to fate.”
“Lin Yanyan, you’re always keeping hearts. You’re not playing cards; you’re clearly collecting cards.”
“Ye Lu, you… your card skills are terrible, no need to say more.”
The three of them : 😳
[Hahaha, what kind of magical card game is this?]
[I knew it! Shang Lu wins every round so quickly because she’s the only one actually playing properly.]
[Don’t say that, Ye Lu is really trying… he’s trying so hard it makes me cry.]
[So how can Shang Lu tolerate their chaotic playing style?]
[No one can resist the joy of winning all the time, right? Especially when winning a round means putting poop stickers on everyone’s faces.]
Because they stayed up all night, when this episode of the show finished recording, all four of them had panda eyes and were yawning, looking disheveled and ridiculous.
When Shang Lu returned home, she resumed reading the script that Yu Qi had sent her before. After two days of reading, she still couldn’t make up her mind, so she decided to call Xue Zishan for advice.
Xue Zishan told her, “If you’re not really passionate about it, it might not be the best fit for you. Don’t rush yourself into making a decision. Listen to your heart. Your career in the entertainment industry is long, and even if this isn’t the perfect choice, it’s okay. However, I’m not an expert in scripts, so maybe you should ask Baojiao for her opinion.”
Shang Lu agreed to this suggestion.
Xue Zishan quickly contacted Cheng Baojiao, and Cheng Baojiao took the initiative to meet with Shang Lu. They agreed to have dinner together the next evening and also review the script.
Since Cheng Baojiao had classes in the afternoon, Shang Lu suggested that she attend the class since she had some free time.
When Cheng Baojiao heard Shang Lu’s idea, she readily agreed.
It was the same class as last time.
Shang Lu sat in the same corner, and once again, she saw the latecomer, Sweetie Donut, sneaking in, crouched low.
Shang Lu : “…”
How could she have forgotten about this? Is it still possible to sit in the front row now?
Sister Donut… How come I’m exactly like you in classes? 😭🤣
