CH 27.3

Do You Still Hate Her? 17 – Of course, we’re on a romance variety show!

One hour later.

Ye Lu and Lin Yanyan were called down by the program team. When the two opened the door and locked eyes, they both looked disgusted.

Just as Lin Yanyan was about to say something, they heard cheerful voices and laughter coming from downstairs, as if people were chatting.

Curious, Lin Yanyan ignored Ye Lu and walked downstairs.

Naturally, Ye Lu followed right behind.

However, soon, both of them stopped in their tracks and looked in disbelief at everything before them.

There were no staff members in the living room, and the live broadcast seemed to have paused.

Jiang Jing and Song Zeqian were holding hands and sitting on the sofa, with Jiang Jing leaning against Song Zeqian’s shoulder, showing a sweet and happy expression.

Meanwhile, Shang Lu and Xu Ze were sitting on the sofa beside them, with Xu Ze’s hand resting on Shang Lu’s shoulder.

Lin Yanyan widened her eyes.

Ye Lu widened his eyes even more.

And at this moment.

Shang Lu’s voice sounded, and she asked, “Sister Jiang Jing, Director Song, when are you two planning to have the wedding?”

Lin Yanyan : “!”

Ye Lu : “!”

The barrage went crazy.

[Hahaha! Shang Lu, is this your plan? It’s really unpredictable!]

[So funny, Shang Lu, you’re a genius planner. It’s the program team’s loss for not hiring you.]

[Lin Yanyan and Ye Lu really look shocked and doubting life. The effect the program wanted has been achieved right at the beginning. Hahaha.]

[They both look as if they’ve just eaten a big melon. It’s so absurd.]

Song Zeqian had an indifferent tone as he spoke, “Just ask her, I’m fine with anything. Then, Xu Ze and you will be our best man and bridesmaid.”

Jiang Jing, on the other hand, asked Shang Lu, “Then, how about you and Xu Ze? You have been together for about two years, have you thought about getting married?”

Lin Yanyan : “?”

Ye Lu : “?”

Ye Lu slapped himself and muttered, “Song Zeqian and Jiang Jing, Shang Lu and Xu Ze…? Am I dreaming?”

Lin Yanyan’s expression appeared completely stunned, with ‘disbelief,’ ‘pain,’ and ‘sadness’ written all over her face, as a myriad of complex emotions intertwined in an instant.

[Hahaha, Ye Lu, why did you slap yourself? This isn’t a dream!]

[Lin Yanyan seems unable to accept the fact that Shang Lu is “dating.” Her beloved woman was taken away by Xu Ze!]

[I’m laughing so hard it hurts. They totally fell for it! Absolutely!]

Lin Yanyan walked up directly, unable to believe what she heard, and asked, “What are you all talking about? Shang Lu, what is your relationship with Xu Ze? And Song Zeqian, what is your relationship with Jiang Jing? What on earth are you talking about?”

“Of course, we are a couple,” Shang Lu said while embracing Xu Ze’s arm, displaying a sweet expression. Then she asked Lin Yanyan, “What’ about’s wrong with Ye Lu? He’s usually clinging to you all the time. Why is he standing so far away today?”

Instead of answering, Lin Yanyan was more terrified because of Shang Lu’s statement, ‘He’s usually clinging to you.’ The impact of this sentence was simply too strong.

—Why is Ye Lu clinging to me? Is Shang Lu telling a horror story?

This is what Lin Yanyan thought and, of course, what she asked.

However, the person answering the question has changed to Jiang Jing. She asked with a concerned expression, “Did you have another fight with Xiao Lu? When there’s something between lovers, talk it out, and you should also control your temper.”

Lin Yanyan : “???”

Lovers?

Who is a couple?

What are they talking about?

Lin Yanyan looked at Ye Lu with a fearful expression, pointing at Ye Lu and then pointing at herself, “You, me, a couple?”

But Ye Lu seemed even more frightened. He even slapped himself in the head, unable to understand how he and Lin Yanyan could be a couple.

[Ye Lu and Lin Yanyan’s reactions are so funny. It’s like the saying, ‘If you read gossips long enough, it’ll eventually happen to you.’]

[Ye Lu is really willing to hit himself. I can feel the pain just by looking at it.]

[Stop hitting, Ye Lu. Your brain wasn’t good to begin with; if you hit yourself, you’ll become even dumber.]

[Xu Ze’s face is a bit red. I declare that he’s just drunk!]

[How did the four of them manage to hold back their laughter? If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to act for even a second, hahaha]

[As expected of a renowned director and professional actors (thumbs up emoji)]

Shang Lu looked at them in disbelief and asked, “Did you break up?”

“What breakup? We never even dated,” Lin Yanyan blinked in confusion, looking at Shang Lu. However, after seeing Shang Lu’s puzzled expression—

Lin Yanyan started to feel uncertain.

Because all four of their expressions were serious, and it didn’t seem like they were joking at all.

Could it be…

Were they telling the truth?

Lin Yanyan began to doubt herself.

Could she have lost her memory? Did she date Ye Lu before her memory loss?

But that couldn’t be right; Ye Lu was not her type at all.

And if she lost her memory, that’s one thing, but why did Ye Lu also look so shocked? Did he lose his memory too?

At this moment, Ye Lu still retained a last trace of sanity, and he asked, “Have you all gone crazy? Lin Yanyan and I are definitely not a couple. Not only are we not, but neither are you all! And Sister Jiang Jing, how could he possibly marry you?”

“What did you say?” Jiang Jing’s face instantly turned ugly. She stood up directly, looked at Ye Lu, and interrogated, “What do you understand? Just because you think you’re his friend means you know him well? We have loved each other for so many years, why can’t he marry me? What makes me unworthy of him?”

Jiang Jing’s performance was so convincing. Her slightly reddened eyes and undisguised anger were out of character for her, as she was known to be gentle. Even the planner, Shang Lu, was nearly taken aback and frightened by her, let alone Lin Yanyan and Ye Lu.

Initially, Lin Yanyan and Ye Lu were not fully convinced, but after Jiang Jing’s questioning, their brains seemed to freeze simultaneously.

They exchanged glances, and at this moment, silence spoke louder than words. Their faces showed:

—Is this for real? Could what they are saying be true?

[D*mn, Jiang Jing’s acting skills are off the charts. She nearly scared me.]

[Agree +1, if I were there, I’d probably believe it’s all true now.]

[Ye Lu and Lin Yanyan seem to be completely doubting life, hahaha.]

And just at this moment, something that made Ye Lu and Lin Yanyan doubt life even more happened.

The staff from the program team suddenly walked in, holding a banner in his hands, and hung it on the wall behind the sofa.

The banner read:

Episode 4 Recording Site.

This is what Shang Lu asked the program team to custom-order and had it delivered urgently.

The appearance of this ‘finishing touch’ made netizens laugh out loud.

[Hahaha, ? Can someone save me from this d*mn sense of humor?]

[They even changed the name of the variety show? Impressive!]

[They went all out with this act, hahaha. Just changing one word completely alters the taste of the show.]

[How did this show suddenly turn into a romance variety show, hahaha!]

[But if they replaced the two people to be pranked, they wouldn’t achieve the same effect as this, hahaha!]

[Because in this variety show, only Lin Yanyan and Ye Lu are the most naïve and easily fooled, hahaha!]

[The previous commenter should express it more tactfully! It’s obviously called innocence!]
