Part 2 of Chapter 68
Please Like Her 19 – Let’s celebrate the New Year together
Xu Ze couldn’t play basketball at all, or to put it bluntly, he wasn’t good at any ball sports. So, after reluctantly agreeing to play basketball with Ou Yi, he specifically hired a coach for training.
Although it can’t be considered very impressive, he still has a basic understanding of common knowledge.
But if switched to soccer, he is completely clueless.
Kicking with the feet, shooting, and are there other rules?
Just as Xu Ze was lost in thought, he saw Ou Yi change direction, raising his hand—
And threw the soccer ball into the basketball hoop.
Ou Yi’s voice was still full of energy: ‘We take turns throwing the soccer ball, ten at a time, let’s see who can throw more! Best of five! The loser buys late-night snacks, how about that?’
Xu Ze : “…”
He suddenly remembered Ou Yi’s earlier statement about “playing soccer.” It wasn’t a slip of the tongue.
Well, there really isn’t much of a difference.
Shang Lu was expressionless as she watched Ye Lu shoot baskets, sitting on the couch, waiting for Lin Yanyan to change clothes.
Then she watched as Ye Lu demonstrated eight hundred ways to play basketball for her alone.
Shang Lu had already started thinking about calling Ou Yi and having them bring Ye Lu along.
Before Shang Lu could make a decision, she saw the basketball in Ye Lu’s hand fly out of the window.
“No—!!!”
Ye Lu’s shout was heart-wrenching as he rushed to the window, knocking over the chair that Ou Yi had sat in, and the tablet fell to the ground.
Ye Lu had nearly half his body stretched out of the window, reaching out with his hand.
Shang Lu asked, “Did it hit someone?”
Ye Lu’s voice replied with a mix of emotions, “No, but it landed perfectly in a roadside trash can.”
“I suggest you call Ou Yi. If it’s just a regular basketball, buy one to compensate. If it’s something more important, go pick it up quickly,” Shang Lu said as she rubbed her nose, feeling her brain getting hazier and hazier, then she bent down to pick up the fallen tablet. She first checked the screen to see if it was broken, and then pressed the play button to make sure everything was fine before placing it on the relatively safe coffee table.
Oh no, she felt a sneeze coming on.
Shang Lu took off her mask, grabbed a tissue, lowered her head, and covered her mouth and nose.
And at this moment.
The slightly ajar door.
Yan Yu stood at the doorway, somewhat incredulous as he looked at the scene before him.
He had originally come to find Ou Yi, intending to mock Ou Yi for going off-key during the collaboration stage. But what he saw was only Ye Lu and Shang Lu. As he was about to leave, he saw Shang Lu tap the tablet in front of her and then heard… his song?!”
Yes, that’s right! It was his stage performance today!
Yan Yu thought again about how shocked he was when he saw Shang Lu wearing the support hairpin with his name on the stage today.
Yan Yu originally thought it was just a coincidence because behind Shang Lu was his fan support area, and she probably got recommended by his fans.
Yes, it was a coincidence, just a coincidence.
Shang Lu was definitely browsing Weibo, not appreciating his performance for sure.
Yan Yu kept telling himself not to think too much, not to be too confident, as overly self-confident men can be greasy, but Shang Lu’s reaction next made it impossible for him to ignore.
Shang Lu took off his mask, took out a tissue to cover his face, and his shoulders were shaking.
And when he threw the tissue into the trash can, Shang Lu lowered his head so much that Yan Yu still couldn’t see her eyes clearly, but he could see her already reddened nose.
It was obvious—
Shang Lu had just cried because she was moved by his performance!
Many people thought this was just Yan Yu’s showy performance, and at first glance, it had a heavier emphasis on technique, with simple lyrics.
But there was a small section of lyrics, the part that had just played, which he had written when he first participated in the audition. Apart from his long-time fans, no one would notice it.
It turned out that Shang Lu was his fan, and maybe… she had liked him for a long time.
Thinking back to the attitude Shang Lu had when they met during the magic performance before, everything suddenly made sense.
She must have felt embarrassed.
In an instant, Yan Yu’s heart was surrounded by endless regret and guilt.
How could he speak to Shang Lu in that way? No wonder she left so quickly; she must have been very upset.
Making fans sad, he was truly the worst idol in the world.
Yan Yu left.
He left in a daze.
He vaguely remembered hearing a saying once.
People who betray others’ feelings are scum, and they will go to hell after death.
It was over; it seemed like he was about to go to hell.
Today was the worst day Yan Yu had ever experienced.
He had done two unforgivable things in his life : disappointing his fans and losing to Ou Yi.
And today, Ou Yi was feeling very happy.
He and his good friend (unrequited) Xu Ze played basketball… no, soccer, with great joy, and heeven won against Yan Yu.
Although it became a disaster when they appeared in a variety show together, due to Ou Yi veering off-script, his performance became even funnier, doubling his viewership, surpassing Yan Yu, and he won!
Ou Yi wanted to taunt Yan Yu over the phone, but no one answered
—Ha! The coward couldn’t face the fact that he lost the game!
In his heart, Ou Yi sneered at Yan Yu and, at the same time, felt in high spirits.
He began to review his day.
That little trickster Yan Yu had managed to lure Xu Ze away as his secret weapon. Fortunately, Ou Yi had his benefactor’s help; otherwise, singing normally, he would have undoubtedly lost today.
The benefactor’s cold was definitely not an ordinary cold; it was God’s plan, allowing Lin Yanyan and Xu to face off; it was simply…
Perfect!
It was truly an evenly matched battle! And he won beautifully!
*Achoo—*
Shang Lu suddenly sneezed, completely covering the lower half of her face, with a look of skepticism about life.
Although sneezing due to a cold is a normal occurrence, she couldn’t help but feel like someone was thinking about her behind her back.
Chi Yan stood by the bed, with everything from a thermometer to cold medicine and 24-hour hot water prepared. He glanced at the thermometer and said, “It’s just a slight fever; you’ll be fine after a good night’s sleep.”
He then pulled a chair over and sat down, saying, “You go to sleep. I’ll leave when you fall asleep.”
Shang Lu nodded and closed her eyes.
Three minutes later.
She opened her eyes and looked at Chi Yan. Her voice was a bit hoarse, but she had a lot to say, “I can’t fall asleep. Whenever I close my eyes, all I can think about is cake—mango cake, peach cake, and that new chocolate flavor they have… I haven’t tried any of them.”
Her vision went dark.
Chi Yan’s hand went straight to cover her eyes and he said, “Sleep. When you wake up, you can have them.”
Shang Lu still said, “But I really can’t sleep. Remove your hand. How about we have a chat?”
Chi Yan didn’t say anything and kept his hand over her eyes.
Three minutes later.
Steady breathing could be heard as Shang Lu fell asleep.
Chi Yan’s face revealed a helpless smile as he looked at Shang Lu, who was lying on his bed and fell asleep. His hand gently brushed aside some stray strands of hair that were obstructing her face, and he softly said, “Good night, sweet dreams.”
rokumi’s note : I double checked and didn’t seem to have missed something… but Ou Yi won against Yan Yu? How? Ou Yi also made a mistake, didn’t he?
I thought they did solo stages first and that was the ‘who makes mistakes’ bet
They had a bet on who will have more views on their segment right?
Ou Yi won because more people watched his segment with Lin Yanyan.
I see… thanks!
also the time when he proved that they don’t lipsync bc of his sadness probs also inc views
Shang Lu is such a babyyyyy 😭💗
