Do You Still Hate Her? 24 – Chi Yan’s desire for victory

Shang Lu couldn’t help pulling her mask up again. It’s better to be safe than sorry, and it would be troublesome to be recognized. She remembered that the wallpaper on Sweetie Donut’s phone was a photo of Ning Lin and Jiang Yi together. She wondered if Sweetie Donut was still firmly supporting the CP.

With these thoughts in mind, Shang Lu sneakily glanced at Sweetie Donut’s phone.

Sweetie Donut wasn’t the type to pay attention in class; she picked up her phone right after the call roll was taken. And at that moment, Shang Lu saw Sweetie Donut’s new wallpaper and felt like she was blinded.

If she wasn’t mistaken, Sweetie Donut’s current wallpaper… was a picture of herself? Shang Lu felt a bit perplexed, and her gaze lingered a bit longer, which Sweetie Donut noticed. Excitedly, Sweetie Donut tore out a page from her notebook and passed it to Shang Lu.

The note read : “Classmate, are you also a fan of Shang Lu?”

Shang Lu : “…?”

What did Sweetie Donut mean by “also”? How did Sweetie Donut become her fan? Just then, Lin Yanyan looked over and, upon reading the contents of the note, tried hard not to burst out laughing.

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Shang Lu replied, “No, I’m just an ordinary passerby.” She pressed her hat down even lower, almost covering her whole face.

Upon seeing Shang Lu’s response, Sweetie Donut seemed disappointed and let out a sigh. Their commotion had already caught the attention of the teacher on stage, who said, “The two girls in the last row, especially the one with silver hair, be more attentive. Don’t think I don’t know you came in late. I won’t bother with it, but pay attention.”

Shang Lu naturally appeared innocent.

And Sweetie Donut sat down obediently.

However, the teacher wasn’t letting them off so easily and continued, “Answer my question now; if you can’t, you’ll have to stand for three minutes.”

Sweetie Donut stood up and honestly admitted, “I don’t know.”

The teacher asked her, “Do you not know the answer, or do you not even know the question?”

Sweetie Donut replied, “…I don’t know both.”

Then the teacher turned to Shang Lu and asked, “What about the one wearing the black hat, do you know?”

All eyes were on Shang Lu.

With no other choice, Shang Lu stood up and tried as hard as she could to answer, “The midpoint of a Snider metronome is a pseudo-victory, a false success.”

The teacher felt very satisfied and somewhat surprised that even the students in the back were attentive. He picked up the attendance register and asked, “What’s your name, classmate? I’ll give you extra credit. The semester has just started, and you’ll be the class representative from now on.”

For an ordinary college student, getting extra credit and becoming a class representative would undoubtedly be a good thing. But the problem was that Shang Lu wasn’t even part of this class… or rather, she wasn’t even a student!

Lin Yanyan sat next to Shang Lu, covering her mouth with both hands, shaking with suppressed laughter, almost about to pass out from holding it in. This was what they called accidentally becoming a class leader just by casually attending a class?

Shang Lu could only respond, “Teacher, I’m just an observer from another major.”

The teacher on the podium was even more astonished. Her class was purely theoretical, and most students from other majors might find it difficult to endure and would skip it. She didn’t expect someone from a different major to come and voluntarily study.

The teacher suddenly felt motivated and became more enthusiastic during the rest of the class, continuously calling out Shang Lu (she gave a false name as Lu Shang) to answer questions. Thankfully, the questions were relatively basic, and Shang Lu managed to answer them all.

At this moment, she couldn’t help but thank Xue Zishan and Wang Rong, the couple who had taught her a lot about film and drama-related professional knowledge and guided her to think about acting from a scriptwriter’s perspective. Otherwise, she would have been standing for the whole class.

The difficult class finally came to an end. Shang Lu felt like she had returned to her student days, always on guard, never daring to lose focus.

However, for Lin Yanyan, it was the most joyful class ever. Every time the teacher called out Shang Lu, she would curl up in the corner, shoulders trembling, bursting with silent laughter.

Shang Lu wanted to leave with Lin Yanyan, but Sweetie Donut stopped her.

Sweet Donut looked at Shang Lu with admiration and asked, “You seem to know a lot. Can we be friends?”

Shang Lu : “…”

Help.

Fortunately, Lin Yanyan quickly came to Shang Lu’s rescue. She held Shang Lu’s arm and pretended to be serious, saying, “I’m sorry, but I’m possessive of her and don’t want her to exchange contact information with others.”

Sweetie Donut was taken aback for a moment and tentatively asked, “Are you two… in a same-sex relationship?”

Shang Lu shook her head and said, “This is my boyfriend, and he has a cross-dressing fetish.”

Sweetie Donut : “?”

Lin Yanyan : “?”

But Lin Yanyan immediately played along, “Ah, yes, that’s right. I’m a guy, and I have a cross-dressing fetish.”

Just as the situation became awkward for no reason, a voice suddenly came from the door, and a girl called out to Sweetie Donut, “Yuxuan! Did you know that Shang Lu is at our school?”

Sweetie Donut was very surprised, her eyes widening, “What? Where?”

Then she hurriedly left, no longer interested in making friends with the top student.

As the class was over, Lin Yanyan didn’t have to hold back anymore. She burst into laughter, tears almost coming out.

Shang Lu helplessly looked at her and said, “Alright, let’s go.”

Lin Yanyan held Shang Lu’s arm and struggled to stand up but couldn’t help teasing, “She seems to be your fan, but she can’t recognize you at all, hahaha!”

In reality, it wasn’t entirely Sweetie Donut’s fault because Shang Lu was covering herself so tightly. Moreover, if Sweetie Donut had recently switched from being LinJiang CP fan to Shang Lu fan, it would be understandable that Sweetie Donut couldn’t recognize her. After all, who would believe that the person sitting next to them in class could be their idol? It was just too coincidental and absurd.

Later that night, Sweetie Donut posted a complaint on Weibo.

@Sweetie_Donut (V) : [Wuwuwu. Lin Yanyan is filming at our school, and Shang Lu came to visit, but I missed her because I had no class in the morning. I feel so sad. I saw many of my classmates taking lots of photos with her. I also wanted to treat her to sweet and sour pork ribs QAQ]

Sweetie Donut had openly announced that she had switched from being a LinJiang CP fan to being Shang Lu’s only fan. With her excellent editing skills, she quickly established a stable position in Shang Lu’s fan circle, and her videos had millions of views.

Other fans in the comments were comforting Sweet Donut, saying that she would definitely have another chance to meet Shang Lu.

Before going home, Shang Lu went to a pet store. She remembered the promise she made with Chi Yan, or rather, Chi Yan’s dog, before leaving in the morning. If she got the role, she would treat the dog to meat.

However, Shang Lu had never owned a dog, so she bought the most expensive canned meat from the pet store. Under the persuasion of the shop assistant, she couldn’t resist and also bought a little suit for the dog.

When Shang Lu knocked on Chi Yan’s door and entered, she was greeted by the little teddy bear dog hugging her leg.

Then it let go.

Then turned around and walked away.

Shang Lu, standing at the doorway: QAQ ?

Why? Did she suddenly become ignored by the dog?

Shang Lu looked up blankly at Chi Yan, showing a touch of helplessness in her eyes.

Seeing her expression, Chi Yan burst into laughter and said, “Come in.”

“Okay.” Shang Lu replied and noticed the pair of pink women’s slippers Chi Yan offered her. She asked, “Do you have… someone else at home?”

Chi Yan walked over to pour a glass of water and answered, “The supermarket had a promotion, buy one pair of slippers and get another free.”

Only then did Shang Lu understand, and then she asked in confusion, “Why did your dog suddenly ignore me?”

Chi Yan didn’t answer directly but just glanced at Shang Lu’s legs with a hint of reproach in his eyes.

Shang Lu lowered her head and saw some white dog hair stuck to her black pants.

In an instant, she felt guilty, as if she had been caught cheating.

Earlier at the pet store, there was an adorable Samoyed waiting for its owner. Shang Lu couldn’t resist playing with it for a long time and even bought a toy ball for the Samoyed.

Shang Lu asked, “Will it ignore me for the whole day now?”

“It’s easy to coax. Just give it some snacks,” Chi Yan said and handed a small bag of dog treats to Shang Lu.

Shang Lu opened the bag and poured some into her palm, then went to tease the little teddy bear dog.

Indeed, the little dog couldn’t resist the temptation of food, so it quickly played with Shang Lu again.
