Please Like Her 12 – Both fall off the horse.
Sweetie Donut once again sat down next to Shang Lu and even recognized her, saying, “Oh, classmate, it’s you? You came to this class again?”
Shang Lu : “…”
Why could Sweetie Donut recognize her even without seeing her face?
Then Shang Lu remembered her hat.
Oh no, she accidentally wore Lin Yanyan’s badge again.
There was no choice; Shang Lu could only reluctantly respond with a hesitant “Yeah.”
Sweetie Donut looked at Shang Lu with some hesitation and asked, “Classmate, why do I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before?”
Shang Lu could only squeeze out a hum.
This time, she didn’t even dare to speak, afraid of being recognized by Sweetie Donut. She could only raise her head and look at Cheng Baojiao with pleading eyes.
Cheng Baojiao also realized that someone was ‘paying attention’ to Shang Lu and decided to help her out, saying, “Tantai Yuxuan, since you’re late, please don’t talk to your classmates.”
“Okay, teacher!” Sweetie Donut obediently replied, forced to sit up straight and look at the blackboard as if she had become a diligent student.
One minute later, a notebook was pushed over to Shang Lu.
Shang Lu was used to this; it was an old routine.
But after seeing the words on it, Shang Lu couldn’t help but choke up.
Because Sweetie Donut had only written one sentence.
[ Where’s your girlfriend? Why isn’t she here with you? ]
This girlfriend naturally referred to Lin Yanyan.
Shang Lu could only reply, [ She has class. ]
Sweetie Donut pushed the notebook back to Shang Lu again.
[ Why don’t you have class? Aren’t you in the same major? By the way, what do you guys study? Why haven’t I seen you at school? ]
Shang Lu : “…”
Why did Sweetie Donut have so many questions? She remembered that the other person used to be a cool and aloof girl who didn’t seem so curious.
To avoid Sweetie Donut asking a series of questions she couldn’t answer, Shang Lu decided to end the conversation with one sentence.
[ We broke up. ]
Donut who saw the words : “!”
Help! She didn’t do it on purpose!
She just really enjoys shipping CP, but she didn’t realize that they had already broken up. What a sin!
So, Donut immediately wrote:
[ I’m sorry!!! ]
Shang Lu replied, [ It’s okay. ]
But because it was awkward, Donut felt like she had ‘accidentally touched on someone’s sensitive topic,’ so she naturally stopped talking to Shang Lu and even changed seats very awkwardly during the second class, afraid of bothering Shang Lu again.
Afternoon classes continued for four consecutive periods, and many students were getting tired of listening. But Shang Lu became more and more energetic, and she took more and more notes.
In order to improve her acting skills, besides studying performance, she could also learn from a creator’s perspective, which seemed more conducive to understanding character’s motives.
It was another day of learning, and Shang Lu was in a good mood. The previous anxiety had eased a lot.
The class bell rang.
Other students were gradually packing up and leaving the classroom, while Shang Lu, taking her time, waited until everyone else had left before approaching the teacher.
“Teacher Baojiao.” That’s how Shang Lu addressed her.
Because she always called Duan Anguo ‘Brother Duan,’ she called Cheng Baojiao ‘Teacher Baojiao,’ so as not to create a generation gap between the couple.
Cheng Baojiao looked at Shang Lu, her expression not as serious as usual and much softer, saying, “You were listening very attentively.”
“Of course, your class is so meaningful.” Shang Lu held her notebook and asked two questions that Cheng Baojiao had just explained but she didn’t quite understand.
Cheng Baojiao explained to Shang Lu and noticed her repeatedly touching her face.
Cheng Baojiao asked, “What’s wrong? Is your face uncomfortable?”
“It seems there are still mosquitoes in this cold weather,” Shang Lu whispered, “My face is a bit itchy.”
Cheng BajJiao took out a tube of itch-relief ointment from her bag and said, “Coincidentally, I have some itch-relief ointment here. Take off your mask, and I’ll apply some for you.”
Since there was no one else in the classroom, Shang Lu simply removed her mask and hat.
Cheng Baojiao helped her apply some ointment to the little red bumps on her cheeks and said, “Put your mask back on in two minutes.”
“Okay,” Shang Lu nodded.
Cheng Baojiao was tidying up her things, and Shang Lu also put her notes into her own backpack.
And at this moment, a joyful voice suddenly rang out from the front door—
“Teacher! My microfilm won an award!”
This voice… sounded familiar.
Before Shang Lu could react, she watched as a girl with a dual-tone hairstyle burst in through the front door, joyfully exclaiming to Cheng Baojiao, “Teacher, teacher! The microfilm from last month! First prize, ahhh!”
Sweet Donut happily bounced in place and moved forward to hug Cheng Baojiao.
Cheng Baojiao’s serious face, after hearing this news, also showed a hint of joy. She said, “You did a great job with that script. I knew you could do it. Since you have such talent, can you please not be late for class in the future and pay more attention during lessons? Can you promise me that?”
Sweetie Donut was a student who Cheng Baojiao both loved and hated. She was almost always late for class, hardly paid attention during lectures, and often got the format of the script wrong. But her mind was creative and full of interesting ideas.
“Okay, Teacher, I’ll set more alarms for my nap in the future!” Sweetie Donut raised her hand in a swearing gesture, then looked at Shang Lu, who was standing nearby.
Sweetie Donut : “?”
Shang Lu? What’s going on?
Shang Lu : “!”
She got too caught up in the excitement and forgot her own identity!
Cheng Baojiao also realized this, but she still introduced the two of them, saying, “This is my student, Tantai Yuxuan, and this is Shang Lu, you should know her.”
Sweetie Donut screamed internally—
—Not only do I know her, she’s my idol!
But why is Shang Lu here?
Looking at the hat on the desk, Sweetie Donut suddenly realized that the ‘student from another major’ she had seen twice was actually Shang Lu both times!?
Is there anything more surreal than this?
A star she was chasing turned out to have attended two classes with her, and they even exchanged little notes during class?
Sweetie Donut felt like she was dreaming.
Shang Lu had to explain, “I just came to join the class, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to deceive you.”
“…It’s okay.”
This time, it was Sweetie Donut who said it was okay, and she looked at Shang Lu, her emotions quite complicated.
As an actress, Shang Lu took the initiative to attend the professional class for scriptwriters, clearly preparing for her acting.
But what about her, Sweetie Donut?
As a professional student, when her favorite star is putting in so much effort, she’s consistently late for class, showing such a lack of appreciation for her education.
In an instant, Sweetie Donut felt extremely ashamed.
They say fans should follow their idols, but as a fan, she doesn’t seem to match up to Shang Lu’s hard work.
No, she needs to study hard too!
And just at that moment, a puzzled voice came from the door.
“Sweetie Donut, what are you doing? Didn’t we agree to pick up the new merchandise for Shang Lu tonight? I have a meeting with the factory manager soon, and I’ve been waiting for you at the door. The sisters in the fan group are waiting too. Our support for the last variety show recording was unnoticed because of Ye Lu’s family; we must win it next time!”
Shang Lu looked at the owner of the voice, and her expression became even more bewildered.
Because she knew this person, it was Zhai Yue Liang.
Wait a minute.
Shang Lu thought she might have been spending too much time with Lin Yanyan, Ye Lu, and Ou Yi, because her brain seemed to not functioning properly.
Zhai Yue Liang and Sweetie Donut knew each other, and they were going together to pick up the new merchandise for her.
Given that Sweetie Donut was her fan, then Zhai Yue Liang…?
Shang Lu looked at Zhai Yue Liang.
Zhai Yue Liang looked at Sweetie Donut.
Sweetie Donut looked at Shang Lu.
The three of them fell into a deathly silence simultaneously, with the same thought running through their minds—
—What the heck is going on here? Am I dreaming?
I normally remember minor character, but I can’t remember where I saw Zhai Yue Liang before. Which chapter did she appear in?
she first appeared in chapter 10, the internet celebrity who exposed that the rose manor is not Ning Lin’s.
Zhai Yue Liang Is also married to Sweetie Donut’s cousin.
AHAHAHAHA YEAH I WONDER THAT TOO, THEY KNEW EACH OTHER
