Part 3 of Chapter 66
Please Like Her 17 – <Evil> (practically official announcement) + Tenth episode recording
While Lin Yanyan was holding Shang Lu’s hand, her smile suddenly stiffened.
Her gaze lowered, and her expression immediately became fearful, then she looked at Shang Lu.
Shang Lu : “?”
Following Lin Yanyan’s gaze, Shang Lu looked down and saw the ring on her ring finger.
Because she had a video call with Xiao Mi last night, she deliberately wore the ring again, and she forgot to take it off in the morning.
Shang Lu rarely wore any accessories on her hands, and she hardly did her nails, so this seemingly ordinary ring attracted more attention.
Lin Yanyan reached out to cover the ring, but Ye Lu asked first, “Shang Lu, why are you wearing a ring today?”
Shang Lu had originally planned to give everyone Xiao Mi’s gift after recording was over, but since it was brought up, she decided to distribute them on the spot and said, “It’s a gift from the kid at home.”
Everyone naturally understood, and after receiving the gifts, they happily put them on. Lin Yanyan and Ye Lu even childishly compared whose necklace looked better.
Netizens also understood.
[It must be Xiao Mi, right? This ‘kid’ must be Xiao Mi!!!]
[Did Ouyi almost spill the beans during the interview last time? The information matches up!]
[Hahaha, Ye Lu directly asked, ‘Does Xiaomi want any gifts?’ Thank you, Ye Lu, our true ‘mouthpiece’!]
[Wuwuwu, so Shang Lu really brought Xiao Mi home, I’m fulfilled, who understands?]
…
This episode of recording, although without Song Zeqian, continued as usual.
But everyone felt like something was missing.
After making a mistake in the multiplication table during the game, Ye Lu slapped his forehead and said, “Why is no one saying my IQ has surpassed the lower limit of elementary school at a time like this? I suddenly feel a bit uncomfortable.”
“Yeah,” Lin Yanyan also knocked over some building blocks and said, “In these two days, no one has been mocking my clumsiness, and I feel like something is missing too.”
Shang Lu: “…”
—Are you all masochists?
But for some reason, she also felt a bit oddly uncomfortable.
Jiang Jing picked up the chewing gum on the table and said with a smile, “This is what Song Zeqian likes; he even brought some before he left.”
Even when Xu Ze poured water for everyone, he habitually poured six cups.
The extra cup, left empty on the side, while all the other glasses were emptied, remained full, looking so out of place because one person was missing.
[Hahaha, on the first time without Director Song, everyone in Xiao Taoyan : Missing him.]
[I also feel that without Director Song, it’s like we’ve lost our soul. Shang Lu’s sarcasm is interesting but not as poisonous.]
[Because Shang Lu has a bit of politeness, even though it’s just a bit.]
[The roles of Xiao Taoyan guests are all different; missing any one of them is like a missing piece of a puzzle, and they are all incomplete! None of them can be missing!]
[Wuwuwu, Director Song, please come back soon! Everyone misses you! We miss you too!]
Seeing this, the program team said, “It seems like everyone really misses Song Zeqian. In fact, this recording session hasn’t ended yet. We have a special activity, which is to visit the set where Song Zeqian is still doing auditions! Are you all happy about it?”
There was silence in the studio.
Lin Yanyan : “There’s a drama at 9 o’clock tonight, and I’ve been looking forward to it for a long time.”
Ye Lu : “There’s also live coverage of foreign car racing at 9 o’clock! I want to watch the live broadcast!”
Lin Yanyan : “Watch the drama!”
Ye Lu : “Car racing! It’s super cool, you know! Watch the car racing!”
Shang Lu sincerely asked, “Is there only one electronic device left in this world?”
So, what’s the point of arguing about it?
Both of them fell silent at the same time.
Indeed.
Jiang Jing hesitated a bit. “I want to go home and be with my daughter.”
Shang Lu directly declined, “I haven’t memorized my script yet.”
Xu Ze didn’t say anything, but he glanced at the clock on the wall, his attitude clear.
[Xiao Taoyan : It seems like there’s a bit of team spirit, but not too much.]
[Although everyone seems to miss Song Zeqian a lot, if we have to work overtime, then forget it.]
The director’s expression directly showed embarrassment on his face. Seeing that everyone was so uncooperative, he said, “The contract says the recording lasts until 8:30. No one can leave before that!”
Usually, they would finish work when the segment was over, and there was no strict adherence to time.
[Hahaha, Director : You’re not going to cooperate? Then I won’t be kind either! Everyone, go visit the set!]
[Director Song : I hope something goes wrong with your show 🙏]
Because of work regulations, everyone reluctantly got on the bus with a ‘reluctant’ expression.
Lin Yanyan suddenly touched her own arm and said, “Why am I feeling a bit nervous?”
Ye Lu replied directly, “After all, it’s been half a month since he last scolded us.”
Shang Lu was speechless, “If you all behaved normally, he wouldn’t scold you.”
As Shang Lu finished speaking, she saw Ye Lu opening the heartfelt dinner prepared for Song Zeqian by the program team.
Meanwhile, Lin Yanyan picked up the support banner prepared for Song Zeqian and draped it over herself. Then, holding a mirror, she looked at her beautiful face and said happily, “Doesn’t this red color make me look fair? Do I look like a beauty pageant champion?”
Shang Lu : “…”
Well, it’s not really Song Zeqian’s fault. If she were Song Zeqian, she would scold them too, as they were really being quite unreasonable.
The program team had scheduled their arrival in a way that wouldn’t disrupt Song Zeqian’s normal work but also wouldn’t miss his get off work time.
When the six of them met.
Song Zeqian frowned directly, “Why did you all come?”
The others replied, “We didn’t want to either.”
[I never expected this scene.]
[Shouldn’t they be hugging and saying, ‘We can’t be apart for a moment’? Why do they seem so indifferent?]
[Even Jiang Jing, she clearly brought chewing gum for Song Zeqian, why doesn’t she take it out?]
Song Zeqian looked at Lin Yanyan, who still had the red banner draped over her but was also wearing a light green tracksuit. So he said, “The fashion world needs people like you.”
Then Song Zeqian’s gaze landed on the rice stuck to Ye Lu’s nose, and he showed a hint of disgust, “Your fans praise you for being innocent and kind like a child? I think your IQ and actions are quite similar.”
Song Zeqian looked at Xu Ze, “Your sudden smile is a bit scary. The you when we first met was more fitting for my character. If you continue to hang out with them, I might have to consider recasting the male lead.”
Then he turned to Shang Lu, “Why are you squatting by the roadside and watching ants? Do you think you can pretend not to know them like this? Shang Lu, what era are we in? Are you still trying to deceive yourself and others?”
Finally, Song Zeqian looked at Jiang Jing.
Jiang Jing instantly took out a piece of chewing gum from her pocket and handed it to him, narrowly escaping his criticism. But she received a warning, “Go back and review the script. If your performance isn’t as good as in <Life’s Journey>, we’ll have a serious talk.”
[Director Song : I’m attacking each of you equally.]
[Less than two minutes after getting off the car, everyone received scolding, it’s really unbelievable.]
Lin Yanyan wasn’t angry either; instead, she said with some curiosity, “Why do I feel like my mood suddenly improved a bit?”
Ye Lu followed in agreement, “Yeah, it’s like there was a stone in my heart that finally fell.”
They both looked at Shang Lu, hoping that the one person in the trio with a brain would reveal the truth to them.
Shang Lu tore the last small bite of bread into crumbs for the ants to carry, then stood up and summarized for them, “A variety show recording without being scolded by Director Song is incomplete, just like a sentence must be followed by a period.”
Ye Lu & Lin Yanyan : “!!!”
So that’s how it is!
Song Zeqian : “…”
If you’re sick, go to the hospital!
In the beginning she was determined to dislike Song Zeqian, now look at them 😹😂
Is it wrong for me to be shipping Zeqian and Jiang Jing? I’ve been pairing them from the start 😭
no same I’ve been shipping them since the fake love show au thing they did to mess with YL and LYY, they were so good in that I went “I need to see this for real”
Director Song the period of a sentence. 😂
