Do You Still Hate Her? 27 – Mutual Destruction · Happy Ending Edition
No matter how unwilling Ye Lu was, with two votes against one, their team name was finalized, with no chance for further changes.
[Even through the screen, Ye Lu’s sense of grievance can be felt.]
[Ye Lu : I’m starting to hate this team! I’m starting to hate this world!]
[Once again, I feel that Director Song has chosen a really fitting team name. Everyone indeed seems quite not normal (in a positive way).]
Now that the teams have been divided, the program team finally announced today’s final game task.
They were divided into three teams, and each team must exchange gifts with the other teams to express friendship.
Everyone : “??”
This task sounds quite puzzling.
Of course, things are not so simple. Buying gifts is just the final thing they have to do; before that, they need to earn money that can be used to buy the gifts.
And in order to earn money, they have to complete a task.
At one o’clock this afternoon, they are going to make cameo appearances in a stage play.
Of course, this isn’t the main point. The main point is that the audience for this stage play are their fans, as the program team has given each fan club thirty fan-benefit seats.
And their task is to draw lots and enter the fan group of another person. In a way that won’t reveal their identity, they are to criticize a certain flaw of the idol the fan group they entered, and make them agree with their words. Being discovered or failing to complete the task counts as a task failure.
Scores are calculated based on task completion, and the person who wins can become the director, not participate in the play as a cameo, and even decide the cameo roles for others.
And at this moment, these fans have already arrived at the scene and have all surrendered their phones. Therefore, they won’t be watching the live broadcast at this moment, nor do they know the current arrangements of the program team.
Netizens : “?!?”
[Oh my god, I saw the fan-benefit event a few days ago. It turns out to be such an immersive participation?]
[Ahhh, I signed up too! It’s a pity I wasn’t selected. I really want to be deceived by Sister Shang Lu (joking)!]
The lots drawing process begins directly.
Each person takes a bamboo stick from the container in order, which determines their fate.
Lin Yanyan and Song Zeqian drew each other, Ou Yi drew Xu Ze, Xu Ze drew Jiang Jing, Jiang Jing drew Shang Lu, Shang Lu drew Ou Yi, and Ye Lu drew himself.
Ye Lu candidly faces the camera and says, “If they recognize me, I’ll feel awkward. If they don’t recognize me, I’ll still feel awkward. This is like judging myself.”
If he’s recognized, his mission will fail. If his fans don’t recognize their idol, it doesn’t sound like true love either way. In any case, Ye Lu won’t be satisfied.
[Ye Lu’s fans : So hard to please, I really want to un-fan now.]
[Hahaha, Ye Lu is such an unlucky guy. He has to fool his own fans? The difficulty is so high.]
[This task is a challenge for both Ye Lu and his fans.]
Meanwhile, Ou Yi faces the camera and says, “Whoever gets successfully fooled by Shang Lu can privately message my studio to receive a big gift.”
Everyone on the scene : “?”
Netizens : “?”
[Here comes this guy again! He’s at it once more!]
[Fooled by Shang Lu = Let Shang Lu complete the task = Let Shang Lu win.]
[Truly the ‘Shang Lu Will Win’ Team, Shang Lu’s cheerleading squad, Shang Lu’s support team!]
[The princess looks unhappy, envying that Shanglu didn’t draw her, hahaha.]
[What makes the princess pout? It’s jealousy! It’s envy!]
The program team first took them to the dressing room through the back door, giving them half an hour to change and dress up, then they headed to their respective fan areas.
While others were changing clothes and putting on makeup to cover their faces, Shang Lu was flipping through the dressing room without doing anything.
A staff member asked curiously, “Isn’t Teacher Shang starting yet?”
Shang Lu responded, “Covering up too much would actually make it stand out.”
But not covering up would be giving away points.
She had to find a way to cover her face that wouldn’t arouse suspicion from anyone. It would be even safer if this something could also make her voice a bit more muffled.
Shang Lu’s gaze wandered around, finally landing on the mascot of the sponsor. It was a cute pink peach-faced cartoon character representing a yogurt brand.
Shanglu’s eyes lit up; she remembered seeing a staff member in a mascot costume when they got off the car earlier.
While everyone was searching in the dressing room, Shang Lu walked outside and successfully obtained the mascot costume from a staff member.
The doll costume looks quite heavy, and it’s worn by a handsome young man. There’s quite a bit of sweat on his forehead. When handing it over to Shanglu, he reminds her, “Be careful, it’s quite heavy.”
A staff member also reminds, “Teacher Shang, it’s quite hot today, and this costume is stuffy.”
Shang Lu, while putting on the doll costume, says, “I don’t want to play a pig.”
Staff: “?”
The staff is very surprised, “Teacher Shang, do you know something?”
Shang Lu is also straightforward, “There’s a poster on the back door that hasn’t been fully torn off.”
And that poster reads : ‘The Story of the Little Pig Family.’
This is definitely not a serious stage play.
To the point that Shang Lu, who originally had no interest in rehearsing and acting in a variety show (because it’s like overtime), suddenly feels like she can give it a try. She thinks it would be fun to have Song Zeqian act for her.
Shang Lu, wearing the doll costume, doesn’t immediately proceed with the task. Instead, she takes out a few sheets of paper and a pen from her pocket.
She leaves for a while, then awkwardly crouches on the ground, writing something. After completing all of this, she returns to the dressing room.
[Hahaha, Shang Lu is actually hand-writing task cards! What is she up to?]
[I smell a hint of conspiracy]
[Shang Lu : Since the program team didn’t invite me for this episode’s planning, I’ll create some trouble on my own]
[Welcome to the mischief time of Director Shang Lu!]
Shang Lu returned to the dressing room, and by now, most people had already changed their clothes and were wearing hats and masks to cover their faces. Except for Ye Lu, who was nowhere to be seen.
When Shang Lu entered wearing a doll costume, it didn’t attract anyone’s attention.
Lin Yanyan was still puzzled and asked, “Why aren’t both Shang Lu and Ye Lu here?”
Ou Yi became nervous and said, “Could Ye Lu have taken Shang Lu away?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Yanyan immediately showed a displeased expression.
Here’s how netizens commented:
[They treat Shang Lu as if she were the apple of their eyes, hahaha.]
[Shang Lu is right there, but they didn’t recognize her.]
[Ye Lu : I’m innocent, don’t cue me.]
Before Shang Lu could approach, the door to the changing room opened, and a familiar… no, not so familiar figure walked out.
Wearing a floral dress and a loose coat, the tall figure had a flamboyant oversized sun hat that covered most of the face, revealing only red lips. Even ‘her’ cheeks were mostly hidden behind long curls, and a chiffon scarf was tied around the neck.
Everyone fell silent.
Including Shang Lu in the doll costume.
Soon after, Lin Yanyan’s voice sounded bewildered, “Is there a new guest again? Who is this beauty?”
Upon hearing Lin Yanyan’s words, the “beauty” suddenly burst into laughter: “Hahaha, I knew my disguise was flawless! This time, I will definitely win!”
The familiar voice, who else could it be if not Ye Lu!
Everyone : “???”
[What the heck, Ye Lu crossdressing? Was it his idea? Is that a skirt?]
[Ye Lu, you are really a show-off!]
[I’m dying of laughter, hahaha, posting ‘Ye Lu the Beauty’ in the public chat!]
[I knew it, why was Ye Lu so quiet on the road, turns out it’s not about breaking the silence but transforming silently.]
[I will mark the calendar as ‘Ye Lu’s first time wearing a skirt’ day!]
[XXX was here]
