Do You Still Hate Her? 14 – When Shang Lu became the prank target of the program team

Shang Lu and Ye Lu have never resonated like this in their entire lives. They lock eyes, and the expressions on their faces say, “What do we do? What do we do? What do we do?“

This is really an impossible situation!

Whether they say, ‘We figured it out’ or ‘We couldn’t figure it out’, it’s obvious that both is the wrong answer!

And if they give the wrong answer, Lin Yanyan might cry even harder. They are truly scared. QAQ

So, in this confrontation of gazes, as if by some strange coincidence—

Both of them simultaneously extend their right hands.

They lock eyes once again, and suddenly reach some kind of consensus.

The hands they’re holding start to sway rhythmically in the air—

—Rock, paper, scissors!

Shang Lu plays scissors, while Ye Lu plays paper.

Okay, Shang Lu won. So let’s leave this life-and-death question to Ye Lu to answer.

So Ye Lu tried his best to compliment and said, “Actually… I can kind of see it. Your nose is indeed beautiful.”

Lin Yanyan looked up at Ye Lu and asked, “Are you saying that the rest of me isn’t beautiful? Only the modified parts are beautiful… wuwuwu…”

Ye Lu : “???”

Did he mean that? No way. He shouldn’t have said something so cruel, right?

Ye Lu scratched his head and, for the first time in his life, couldn’t find the right words to say. He was afraid that if he continued, Lin Yanyan would really cry until she fainted.

Lin Yanyan sobbed on Shang Lu’s shoulder, and Shang Lu gently held her, then asked with some confusion, “Why do you care so much?”

Shang Lu suddenly thought of the incident in the dressing room. Lin Yanyan refused to face the camera without makeup no matter what. She seemed to be particularly concerned about her face, to the point of feeling insecure.

But Shang Lu really felt that whether it was in high school or in the dressing room without makeup, Lin Yanyan was already very beautiful.

Lin Yanyan tightly hugged Shang Lu and cried uncontrollably.

Shang Lu didn’t rush her, just patiently patted Lin Yanyan’s back, comforting her.

The always noisy Ye Lu dare not make a sound at this moment. He obediently shuts his mouth and acts like a mute while watching on the side.

It’s unknown how much time has passed. Lin Yanyan is truly exhausted from crying. She whispers, “I’m only telling you, don’t tell anyone else.”

Shang Lu nods and coaxes her like a child, saying, “Okay.”

Ye Lu, unable to bear it any longer, asks, “Am I not a person? If you don’t want me to listen, shouldn’t you make me leave first?”

If it weren’t for him speaking up, Lin Yanyan would have already said it, right? Nobody cares about his existence at all, is that it?

“Oh… I forgot about you,” Lin Yanyan says and then asks him, “So, it’s up to you. If you stay here and listen, you won’t be treated as a person. If you want to be treated as a person, then go outside.”

Ye Lu : “?”

Two voices in Ye Lu’s heart engage in a fierce battle. One says that he shouldn’t give up being treated as a person just because of this little curiosity, while the other says that it’s not a big deal if he doesn’t.

Finally, he makes a decision—

*Woof*

With this barking sound, he confidently imitates a dog.

Shang Lu gives Ye Lu a thumbs up, praising him as a great man who can adapt and be flexible.

However, Lin Yanyan was very annoyed and cursed Ye Lu as crazy. She then kicked him out and even shoved two bags of garbage into his hands.

Ye Lu, who was expelled outside the door, exclaimed, “What?!”

He angrily shouted while leaning against the door, “Didn’t you say I could make my own choices? How can you go back on your word?”

He couldn’t even be considered a person anymore, and he couldn’t even listen to the story? This isn’t fair, God!

Lin Yanyan shouted back at him, “How would I know you’re so shameless? Just throw away the garbage!”

Ye Lu shouted back, but then his footsteps gradually faded away, indicating him reluctantly went to throw away the garbage.

Inside the house, only Lin Yanyan and Shang Lu remained.

Finally, Lin Yanyan looked at Shang Lu and quietly revealed the reason she was overly concerned about her appearance.

Her parents loved her very much, which resulted in her gaining some extra weight at a young age compared to other girls her age. Whenever relatives saw her as a child, they would always say seemingly caring but actually mocking words.

Because Lin Yanyan’s parents were good-looking, when she was born, she didn’t even look wrinkled like other babies. Everyone thought she inherited her parents’ good qualities and would definitely grow up to be a beautiful child.

However, as she grew older, she started gaining weight gradually due to her love for desserts after elementary school. The gap between her and the expectations of all her relatives became bigger and bigger. Whenever people saw her, they would say things like, “What a pity,” or “Why doesn’t this child look as good as before?”

However, Lin Yanyan’s parents always protect her and stop those relatives from making hurtful remarks. They tell Lin Yanyan that it’s not because she doesn’t look good now, but because she was incredibly cute like a little angel when she was younger. Now she looks more like an ordinary human being, but still resembles their daughter.

Lin Yanyan is quite happy and wants to be her parents’ daughter forever.

Although she is a bit chubby and has pimples, it doesn’t matter. These are normal changes that adolescent girls experience during their growth process. Her parents assure her that she is still beautiful.

All these beautiful lies were mercilessly shattered after she confessed her feelings to a boy she had a crush on in high school.

The fear and disgust on his face are still unforgettable for Lin Yanyan. After rejecting her, he walked over to some friends who were waiting nearby and said something to them. Soon, all the boys looked in Lin Yanyan’s direction and burst into laughter.

One of the boys exaggeratedly exclaimed, “No way? That ugly monster likes you? It’s like a toad wanting to eat swan meat!”

“Doesn’t she have a mirror at home? Doesn’t she know what she looks like?”

“Our Brother likes the school beauty. Some people are just ugly but think highly of themselves.”

Lin Yanyan stood by the back door of the classroom, listening to these mocking words, but she didn’t dare to make a sound or refute them.

Later, Lin Yanyan made up her mind to lose weight because her parents had been relatively neglectful of her during those years when they were busy with their business. However, she ended up damaging her body through dieting, and the result was that her body became even more overweight due to binge eating. That’s why she had that ugly graduation photo that made Lin Yanyan cringe.

But fortunately, in the year Lin Yanyan graduated from high school, her parents successfully started their own business and earned a large sum of money from a major project. From then on, their careers went smoothly. They gradually realized that their daughter was no longer at the age where she could be happy just by receiving compliments from her parents. She had to face society and deal with more people.

So that summer, her father accompanied her to the gym every day to exercise, and her mother cooked delicious and healthy weight-loss meals for her. With the company and help of her parents, Lin Yanyan finally lost weight. She became much more beautiful, and there was a hint of her mother’s beauty in her eyes and eyebrows.

Lin Yanyan’s college entrance exam scores were average, just enough for an ordinary undergraduate program. So her parents decided to send her abroad to study.

However, Lin Yanyan proposed the idea of repeating a year and studying acting at a drama school. It was also during that summer that she made some facial adjustments, not only her nose but also…

Shang Lu nodded in understanding and interrupted, “Eyes.”

“Huh?” Lin Yanyan found it absurd. She closed her eyes and said, “Do you see any traces? My eyes are natural. I only had my chin done.”

Shang Lu : “???”

Shang Lu carefully looked at Lin Yanyan’s eyes and indeed, there were no traces even when she closed them. She found it hard to believe and said, “Didn’t you have single eyelids before?”

She had cute single eyelids and small eyes before, this is the only difference with now, right?!

“Oh.” Lin Yanyan understood what she meant and then said, “That was because they looked smaller due to being chubby. I think I had double eyelids when I was a child.”

Shang Lu : “…”

Seeing a flash of disappointment on Shang Lu’s face, Lin Yanyan was speechless and asked, “You don’t think my eyes looked better when I was chubby, do you?”

Shang Lu met her gaze and honestly nodded, having learned from the previous lesson of not being able to tell if Lin Yanyan had any facial work done. This time she said, “I think you were beautiful before and now.”

Lin Yanyan : “You have a unique aesthetic sense.”

Although she said that, Lin Yanyan couldn’t help but be amused by Shang Lu’s answer, and suddenly she felt like it didn’t matter anymore.

She used to be like that before…

In Shang Lu’s eyes, she unexpectedly looks beautiful too.
