Do You Still Hate Her? 16 – Share this lucky Shang Lu, even if you play poorly, you can still win all the way

In the competition among the men, Ye Lu gained an absolute advantage and passed the baton to Lin Yanyan first.

Lin Yanyan’s face was filled with reluctance as she ran and complained, “If I had known, I wouldn’t have come this week. I hate running the most!”

[Hahaha, go, little princess!]

[Little princess, you have a definite advantage. As long as you don’t run too poorly, you’ve got this!]

Soon, Song Zeqian and Xu Ze also returned to the starting point almost simultaneously and handed the baton over to Jiang Jing and Shang Lu.

Both of them dashed out at the same time.

[Let’s guess who will come in second between Shang Lu and Jiang Jing?]

[I think it’s Jiang Jing. She had a martial arts scene before, and she seems to have good stamina.]

However, something that everyone didn’t expect happened—

Shang Lu held the baton in her hand and ran very fast, steadily increasing the distance between her and Jiang Jing.

[Oh my, Shang Lu is running really fast!]

[Could it be that she is a real deer1?]

[Her tied up hair is broken and blown by the wind but still looks so good, she runs so fast and her expression is not fierce at all, so beautiful.]

[Shang Lu’s legs are beautiful too, so white and slim… Oops]

[Her legs look so amazing! Although they are thin, they appear strong and really white, glowing!]

[How does Shang Lu manage to exude charm from every single strand of hair? Every style suits her so well.]

[Wait! Stop praising Shang Lu’s beauty for a moment, pay attention to the race! Shang Lu not only left Jiang Jing far behind but is even catching up to Lin Yanyan!]

[The cameraman can’t keep up with Shang Lu anymore, haha, was she from the track and field team?]

Soon, Shang Lu appeared in Lin Yanyan’s camera frame, because Shang Lu’s cameraman couldn’t catch up with Shang Lu, but Shang Lu successfully caught up with Lin Yanyan.

Seeing Shang Lu in front of her, Lin Yanyan was also happy and said, “Shang Lu!”

Shang Lu slowed down and ran alongside her.

However, Lin Yanyan had already expended most of her energy, and she could barely run anymore. Soon, she could only say, “You go ahead, I can’t keep up.”

“Alright.” Shang Lu nodded and then accelerated to run far ahead.

Although it was Lin Yanyan who said those words, when she saw Shang Lu running so far ahead and leaving her behind, she still felt a bit aggrieved.

Of course, this grievance wasn’t directed at Shang Lu but at the program team.

Why did they have to run? Lin Yanyan had always hated physical tests since she was young!

However, what Lin Yanyan couldn’t have anticipated was that Shang Lu suddenly stopped and looked in her direction.

“Why… why did you stop?” Lin Yanyan was already exhausted, and she was panting heavily as she spoke, but she couldn’t help but shout towards Shang Lu.

Shang Lu extended her hand towards her and said, “Let’s do this together.”

Lin Yanyan : “!”

Lin Yanyan quickened her pace, rushed forward, held Shang Lu’s hand, and no longer complained of being tired. Instead, she gave it her all and ran together with Shang Lu towards the finish line.

[!?]

[Ah, I can’t believe it! Friendship comes first in the competition, and the rest follows!]

[What if you win, Xu Ze? Shang Lu’s heart will always belong to Yanyan!]

[Suddenly feeling sentimental. Although we came to this variety show to have fun, they really made genuine friendships.]

[Wuwuwu, Lulu and Yanyan should always play together! (Let’s reluctantly include Ye Lu too.)]

[Xu Ze’s mom fan timidly suggests, how about one more person? Can we bring Xu Ze to play with them?]

[Xu Ze, please fight for yourself! It was clearly you who won Shang Lu today! How frustrating!]

No one expected that Shang Lu had such exceptional talent in running, so she eventually won the second round of the competition.

Whether it was a best-of-three match or scored based on points, the Shang Lu and Xu Ze team had already won, concluding the competition prematurely, and Xu Ze’s task was considered a failure.

However, due to the points to be earned in the third round, the long jump competition would continue.

But then, Xu Ze suddenly looked at Shang Lu and whispered, “Let’s lose this round.”

Shang Lu : “!”

Shang Lu stared wide-eyed at Xu Ze.

The audience was also very shocked.

[Xu Ze, did you finally remember that you still have a task?]

[But it’s useless even if you lose this game, right?]

[Can we still use negotiation in this way, hahaha!]

Xu Ze felt a little embarrassed under her gaze, then turned his head away and said, “Okay, let’s win.”

Shang Lu shook his head and continued, “That’s not what I meant. I’m just shocked that you took the initiative to talk to me.”

[Shang Lu, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have even realized it.]

[I had a hunch in my heart since Xu Ze voluntarily joined that tangram competition today…]

[As expected, this is a good start! Xu Ze, say a few more words! Anything is fine! Mom loves you!]

Shang Lu asked again, “It’s okay to lose, but why?”

Xu Ze frowned and thought for a moment, then said, “The ground is slippery, it’s not safe.”

It rained last night.

Shang Lu agreed that this made sense.

Moreover, they already had the highest score, so there was no need to monopolize all the points.

So Shang Lu agreed, “Yeah, you’re right. You don’t have to try too hard this round. Let’s just accept the loss.”

[Xu Ze came up with quite a good reason. How did he manage to convince Shang Lu?]

[Shang Lu, is there a possibility that Xu Ze has never taken this seriously?]

[Hahaha, Xu Ze : I really haven’t made an effort, it’s all because you tried too hard.]

The third round of the competition began. The men and women took turns in long jump, and their distances were added together for ranking.

The first ones on the field were Shang Lu and Xu Ze, who had already won in the previous round.

Shang Lu didn’t even make any preparations, she just jumped forward.

The referee glanced at the marked value on the ground and announced Shang Lu’s result : “Teacher Shang, one meter.”

It was Xu Ze’s turn next, and he also chose the same result as Shang Lu.

So their team’s score now is two meters, which can be said to be a really—

poor result.

[Congratulations to Xu Ze, after the task failure, he finally completed the task, so miserable hahaha]

[Xu Ze is so obedient, haha, he’s imitating Shang Lu. He jumps as far as Shang Lu jumps, it’s inexplicably funny]

[Xu Ze, you better show some competitiveness! You have fought through the ‘fierce’ tangram puzzle battle to become one-day CP with Shang Lu! If you can’t keep Shang Lu today, Lin Yanyan will take her back tomorrow!]

[This expert took screenshots frame by frame today, and will definitely show everyone that Xu Ze and Shang Lu are real CP!]

[This is the first time in my life that I’ve seen fans who determine a CP first and then try hard to find evidence to support it. How strange! Let me watch for a while more.]

[This is the so-called ‘rumor-based’ CP, hahaha.]
