Do You Still Hate Her? 07 – The most handsome man in Shang Lu’s eyes

Lin Yanyan was very quiet today. From the moment she entered the villa, she had been staying by Shang Lu’s side.

Because just a moment ago, Shang Lu whispered something in her ear.

“To be precise, you should be my first friend,” Shang Lu said.

Lin Yanyan desperately restrained the impulse to raise the corners of her lips. She tried hard to appear calm.

After all, during high school, Lin Yanyan never thought that she could become friends with a girl like Shang Lu. Back then, Shang Lu was so beautiful that it seemed like everyone’s attention should be focused solely on her.

Meanwhile, the Lin family’s business had not yet truly flourished, and Lin Yanyan was going through puberty and had gained some weight, with acne and a double chin. She wasn’t the famous little princess she is today, just an ordinary girl in school.

But her parents loved and pampered her just as they do now, which made Lin Yanyan confident enough to confess her feelings to the most handsome boy in her class. However, after he spread the word everywhere as if it were a curse, she realized… she was just an ordinary girl in the eyes of the boy she liked.

On the other hand, Shang Lu was completely different from her. She was known as the most beautiful girl in school, with a good family background and excellent grades. Whenever someone mentioned Shang Lu’s name, they would follow it with a series of titles like ‘school belle’ and ‘academic genius.’

Shang Lu was someone Lin Yanyan had once looked up to and even despised. But deep down, she also envied Shang Lu.

And now, those past matters seem to no longer matter because they have become friends.

Shang Lu extended her hand towards Lin Yanyan.

Without hesitation, Lin Yanyan firmly shook it.

Today, Ye Lu felt inexplicably confused.

As soon as he arrived at the recording location and got off the car, his fans unexpectedly said he was childish. However, despite the intimidating look in his eyes, none of the fans answered what had happened.

Then, upon entering the villa, he saw Lin Yanyan and Shang Lu sitting together, which was unusual because they had never gotten along before. The two of them seemed quite… harmonious?

Ye Lu glanced at the two of them and then looked towards Xu Ze, using his eyes to ask : What happened?

For some reason, Ye Lu and Xu Ze seemed to have established a connection because Xu Ze shook his head in response.

Netizens were also shocked.

[What are Ye Lu and Xu Ze doing with this small gesture? Are they going to become friends too?]

[Overthinking was unnecessary. Xu Ze probably didn’t understand what Ye Lu wanted to ask, but shaking his head could reject anything in this world 100%.]

Soon, Song Zeqian and Jiang Jing’s car arrived at almost the same time, and the two entered the villa one after another.

Now that everyone has arrived, the first part of today’s agenda is to announce the guest for this episode.

Lin Yanyan was speechless and said directly, “Xia Yuan’s name was already trending early in the morning. There’s no need to play mysterious, it’s unnecessary.”

In the voting process this week, the most anticipated guest, according to the fans’ votes, was Xia Yuan.

At this moment, the live chat had already gathered many of Xia Yuan’s fans, waiting eagerly.

Since Xia Yuan’s recent schedule was undisclosed, the fans naturally assumed that the most likely possibility was for him to appear on this variety show.

After all, with the current popularity of the program, many popular figures were lining up to participate, and even a top star like Xia Yuan had no reason to refuse.

Instead of directly bringing the guest on stage, the production team opened a live video call and connected with Xia Yuan. Soon, Xia Yuan appeared on the screen wearing a robe.

Naturally, Xia Yuan’s fans were very excited.

[Ah ah ah, it’s really Brother!]

[I really like Xia Yuan, but seeing Ye Lu is also a kind of torment for me because of Xia Yuan.]

[SN would be perfect without Ye Lu. I dream of Xia Yuan flying solo.]

[The vampire royal family deserves to be nailed to the pillar of shame forever!]

If the last episode invited Ning Lin to watch the show, targeting Shang Lu, then this time, Xia Yuan may have come to this program, naturally aiming at Ye Lu.

The video call connected.

Xia Yuan smiled gently and waved to the camera: “Hello, everyone. I am Xia Yuan. Long time no see. I heard that the third episode of <The Most Hated Her and Him> has already started recording, and I really want to participate. However, due to health reasons, I can’t be there in person for this episode. I apologize to everyone. So, let me introduce the guest for this episode, our SN’s another member, Yu Su~ Let’s give him a round of applause!”

If Xia Yuan had said this in the first episode, no one would have cared, but now, there were some scattered claps.

The fans watching the live broadcast were very disappointed, but some of them had already seen Xia Yuan’s schedule not matching the recording day today, so they were mentally prepared for this. They still held some hope, though.

Meanwhile, the door was pushed open, and another tall and slim figure walked in.

The young man was dressed in all black sportswear, extremely tall, estimated to be at least 1.9 meters, and had the proportions of an international supermodel.

Perfect to the point where it seems as if his jaw angle was precisely measured, with thin lips slightly pursed, a high and straight nose, and above that… uh, a pair of very small, small eyes, which seem like a flaw on such a perfect face.

Yu Su is relatively less popular within the entire SN group, and his expertise lies in songwriting. Naturally, his fans are attracted to his talent.

And at this moment, Xia Yuan’s voice rang out again, accompanied by a smile: “Our Yu Su naturally has small eyes by birth. I hope everyone won’t misunderstand; he isn’t disrespecting anyone by not looking at you. He respects everyone.”

The barrage filled with laughter.

[Hahaha, has this inside joke finally made its way outside the group?]

[I dare say, in the entire entertainment industry… no, in the whole world, you won’t find anyone with smaller eyes than Yu Su!]

[I often lament over the fact that Yu Su has such a perfect figure and facial features, but unfortunately, he has these eyes. It’s such a shame.]

[So, has SN never considered sending Yu Su for double eyelid surgery or eye corner surgery? Wouldn’t that overwhelm everyone else in the entertainment industry? Even other top stars?]

Upon seeing Yu Su’s arrival, Ye Lu, who is also his teammate, showed a look of surprise on his face.

Because he knew that Xia Yuan had already signed the agreement for this episode, so how did Yu Su end up being the one to come in the end?

Ye Lu moved away from the microphone and went forward to hug Yu Su, then asked in a low voice, “Where’s Xia Yuan?”

Yu Su pretended to adjust the microphone and replied in a low voice, “He said he had something to take care of, so I had to step in at the last minute.”

Ye Lu patted Yu Su’s shoulder to express understanding.

After all, Xia Yuan has always been the kind of person who does whatever he wants, and his other teammates inevitably have to clean up after him.
