Becoming Popular Through The “All Villains” Variety Show

Do You Still Hate Her? 33 – Seventh episode recording

Both Ye Lu and Ou Yi stood on the same starting line, secretly competing in their hearts.

With Shang Lu’s command, both of them jumped simultaneously, collided in mid-air, and then fell together to the ground.

Hmm…

They both jumped out, not even half a meter, and their hands were almost on the jumping line to jump back. If we calculated it strictly, it should be a negative score. But at this moment, they were sitting on the ground, blaming each other for bumping into themselves, then holding their waists and shouting that their buttocks hurt, just like an old man trying to scam out of broken porcelain.

Shang Lu closed her eyes, wiped away the sand that had flown onto her face because of their commotion, and then glanced down at her lunchbox.

Sure enough, it was no longer edible.

So Shang Lu put down the lunchbox and walked over to them, then took a light step forward—

One meter.

A very poor but sufficient score to ‘crush’ them.

Shang Lu clapped his hands and calmly replied, “Ah, I didn’t expect to win.”

Ye Lu looked up at Shang Lu, “?”

Why was she so good at humiliating people?

And Ou Yi, who was in pain, grinned and applauded, still giving face, “Wow! Shang Lu, you’re amazing!”

After saying that, Ou Yi immediately got up from the ground, brought his long jump medal from not far away, and handed it to Shang Lu, saying, “You’ve defeated the two first-place winners, so you are the true first-place winner!”

Shang Lu : “…”

For some reason, looking at Ou Yi like this, her conscience suddenly hurt a little.

Ye Lu : “…?”

Could this person be a fool?

Although he thought so, Ye Lu didn’t want to be outdone. He got up, found his waist pouch, and also took out his own gold medal from the long-distance race and handed it to Shang Lu.

Shang Lu was even more puzzled, “Why are you carrying this with you?”

It was understandable for Ou Yi because it was from today, and he rushed over without time to put it down. But why did Ye Lu have the one from yesterday?

Ye Lu : “Because this is—”

“Because this is honor! Of course, I have to carry it with me at all times!”

Ou Yi was the first to answer this question.

Then the two of them were stunned.

They locked eyes.

Ye Lu : “… Do you understand me?”

Ou Yi : “Of course, I understand you!”

The look exchanged between the two people underwent a change, from their initial hostility to an instant mutual understanding, like heroes respecting each other.

Shang Lu : “…”

She couldn’t take it anymore. This bizarre scene was giving her goosebumps.

So, Shang Lu decided to hang Ou Yi’s long jump gold medal around Ye Lu’s neck and hung Ye Lu’s long-distance running gold medal around Ou Yi’s neck, saying, “You two have exchanged gold medals. From today onwards, whether in poverty or wealth, you are now each other’s best brothers.”

Ye Lu : “?”

Ou Yi : “!”

Ou Yi looked at Ye Lu, “Best brothers!”

Since Shang Lu said so, his benefactor wouldn’t lie to him!

Ye Lu : “?”

—Who the heck is your best brother?

Ou Yi remembered what his father once told him, that friends brought by the benefactor are all opportunities, and he should cherish them, just like he was able to join Yue Qi’s crew because of Shang Lu.

So Ou Yi thought for a moment, “I heard Xia Yuan was from your group? But I think he doesn’t look as good as you.”

Ye Lu : “?!”

With an excited heart and trembling hands, Ye Lu pretended to ask calmly, “Then, compared to Yu Su, how do I fare?”

Ou Yi pondered for a moment, “Ah… he’s not as good as you either.”

Ye Lu was very happy and also praised Ou Yi in return, “Even though they all say you look like Xia Yuan, I think you’re much better than him!”

Shang Lu felt utterly speechless.

They could curse Xia Yuan together, but why did they have to mention Yu Su?

So Shang Lu left with the remark, “Yu Su is way more handsome than you,” as she couldn’t bear to watch anymore.

Meanwhile, Ye Lu was still immersed in joy. He looked at Ou Yi and finally accepted him, “Best brother!”

And Ou Yi, furrowing his brows in thought, concluded that what the benefactor had said was right. The words of the benefactor must be more important.

So, Ou Yi looked at Ye Lu and didn’t hesitate to change his words, “No, I misspoke. Yu Su is more handsome than you.”

Ye Lu : “???”

This fragile and hasty brotherly relationship collapsed instantly.

So, Ye Lu immediately corrected himself and said, “In that case, let’s continue with the duel!”

In the next two days of filming on the set, even though Ou Yi didn’t have any scenes, he still followed Shang Lu attentively. He did everything what Shang Lu told him to, and including his eight assistants, it was as if Shi Luo had gained nine more assistants, but it didn’t affect the production. Instead, they were all directed to help the crew and worked as free labor.

Yue Qi originally thought that bringing Ou Yi to the set was a somewhat risky decision, especially after hearing that on the day he arrived on set, he and Ye Lu engaged in a series of competitions like long jumps, races, and tug-of-war on set. Yue Qi was starting to regret it.

After all, birds of a feather flock together, and he couldn’t help but wonder if Ou Yi’s way of thinking was just as abnormal as Ye Lu’s.

However, after seeing Ou Yi’s dedication to learning and improving, Yue Qi’s opinion of him began to change slightly.

Watching Ou Yi sitting on a small stool not far away, carefully reading the script, Yue Qi took the initiative to approach him for the first time and asked, “Xiao Ou, reading the script?”

“Director Yue?” Ou Yi saw Yue Qi approaching and quickly stood up to bow, showing great humility and politeness.

Yue Qi was even more pleased with him and asked, “Since this is your first time acting, it’s normal to have questions. Instead of struggling on your own, you can ask other actors or even me and the screenwriter for help.”

Ou Yi flipped through the script and thought for a moment before saying, “I do have a small suggestion… or rather, an idea.”

Yue Qi encouraged him, “Feel free to share it.”

Ou Yi directly said, “In all these loops, I’ve developed a secret crush on the character played by Teacher Shang Lu. But why do we only have a few lines together? Most of my scenes are with Senior Cheng Zhe.”

Yue Qi : “?”

Yue Qi stared at him for a while and suddenly asked, “…You like Shang Lu?”

So, he could also consider giving each other some more opportunities to interact. After all, they’re young people. He also went through that age. If they end up together, it could become a beautiful story, and it’s also a great promotional direction for their movie!

“Well, I just want to have more scenes together with Teacher Shang Lu. Have you heard of fate? Teacher Shang Lu is my benefactor. As long as I spend more time with her and talk to her, my luck will improve. I’m not trying to add more scenes, and I’m not suggesting we cut other scenes to keep only the scenes with Teacher Shang Lu…”

*Bang!*

Yue Qi slammed the script onto Ou Yi’s head, saying, “Where did this feudal superstition come from? Don’t even think about it! Cheng Zhe has no scene this afternoon! Go find him for practice!”

Ou Yi :  “Okay.”

In the blink of an eye, the weekend arrived.

The recording for the seventh episode of <The Most Hated Her and Him> began, but someone was absent today.

Fans felt quite puzzled.

[Hey? Where’s Ye Lu? He didn’t come, but the director said everyone’s here?]

[Ye Lu isn’t livestreaming either. Is he not participating today?]

[Alert! The livestream for the celebrity sports event has started! Ye Lu is appearing there!]

[What’s going on? Is Ye Lu skipping Xiao Taoyan today because he’s recording the celebrity sports event?]

[Come on, Ye Lu isn’t crazy. The celebrity sports event has so many people; he’ll only get a few moments on camera. Besides, the popularity of these two shows is incomparable, right?]

Fans were confused, and the other guests on the set were equally puzzled because they hadn’t heard about Ye Lu’s absence from this recording.

So Lin Yanyan was the first to ask, “Where’s Ye Lu? Is he not coming today?”

The program team answered both her and the fans’ questions, saying, “Teacher Ye Lu is participating in the celebrity sports event’s recording in the morning, so he can’t make it here for now. But—

“We can go there!”

Everyone : “?”

The program team continued to explain.

Turns out, this recording had a collaboration with the celebrity sports event, and they needed to be present as commentators for a session of the sports event. After Ye Lu finished his men’s archery competition, everyone would gather to start today’s recording officially.

So, they all set off together, taking a car to the recording location of the celebrity sports event.
