CH 32.1

Do You Still Hate Her? 22 – “Come home with me.”

“Shang Lu! Help me! Let me out!” Ye Lu’s voice sounded angrily: “Who kicked me? Who was it? If you’re brave enough, come face me one on one!”

Shang Lu was about to go help Ye Lu when Lin Yanyan reached out to her with aggrieved face.

Lin Yanyan was solely focused on her own hurting bottom, not even recognizing that the angry voice inside the turtle shell was Ye Lu’s.

With no other choice, Shang Lu had to first help Lin Yanyan up and then proceeded to assist Ye Lu in flipping over along with his turtle shell.

Lin Yanyan curiously asked, “Where did this Wang Ba1 come from?”

Shang Lu laughed even more joyfully.

Ye Lu inside the shell : “?!?”

Ye Lu shouted back, “You’re the Wang Ba! Your whole family are Wang Ba! Was it you who kicked me, Lin Yanyan? Speak up!”

[Whether it is a turtle2 or a Wang Ba is crucial, as it concerns Ye Lu’s dignity.]

[I think it’s a Bie3.]

Only now did Lin Yanyan finally realize that the voice coming from the Wang Ba… oh no, the turtle, was actually Ye Lu. Her expression turned into one of apprehension.

Lin Yanyan asked, “Is he sick? Why is he hiding in there?”

Shang Lu told Lin Yanyan, “That’s his fashion style.”

Lin Yanyan : “???”

Lin Yanyan laughed until tears almost came out. She had initially been somewhat dissatisfied with her own outfit, but in comparison to Ye Lu, she suddenly felt that panda is great.

Ye Lu became furious with embarrassment, continuing to shout from within his turtle shell, urging Shang Lu to quickly release his head. He wanted to engage in a final showdown with Lin Yanyan, the main instigator of this situation.

Shang Lu, however, just asked him, “Are you sure you want to face Lin Yanyan’s mockery directly? Oh, she might even get physical, and you won’t be able to retaliate.”

Ye Lu : “???”

Although he was very angry, he felt that Shang Lu’s words made a lot of sense.

So in the end, Ye Lu chose to shut up, staying inside his turtle shell and scolded Lin Yanyan.

Lin Yanyan couldn’t freely fight him today, so she felt frustrated. She reached out and grabbed Shang Lu’s hand, saying, “Look at him! Help me!”

Shang Lu was a civilized person.

She never engaged in such childish verbal disputes.

Shang Lu walked up to Ye Lu, grabbed the tail of the tortoise shell, pulled it upward, and placed her foot under the shell.

With a lift of her foot and a pull of her hand, the tortoise shell flipped over again, facing the sky.

Ye Lu: “???”

Netizens were thrilled.

[Shang Lu: The simplest way to inflict the most insulting damage.]

[Flipped it back again, haha!]

[Ye Lu, you’re in a pitiful state. Mom feels so sorry for you, hahaha… Mom can’t hold back anymore! Let Mom have a laugh too!]

[Press 1, then the turtle, Wang Ba, Bie, and Ye Lu will all forgive us at once]

In the end, it was because the photoshoot was about to begin that Ye Lu was finally rescued. Lin Yanyan was also urged by the staff to return to her own shooting room.

Ye Lu poked his head out from the turtle shell.

Shang Lu and he locked eyes, then looked at the photographer, asking, “How should we shoot this? Me and this turtle?”

The photographer said that the instructions from the program team were not to provide any guidance on actions. Everything was to be decided by Shang Lu and Ye Lu themselves. There were many other props in the room that they could choose to use. The photographer was only responsible for the filming.

To prove that he was not just a turtle, Ye Lu fiddled around inside the shell for a while, then extended his limbs and stood up against the wall.

At this moment, everything became even more comical.

Ye Lu stood up with that huge turtle shell on his back. He looked at Shang Lu, about to speak.

A look of disdain appeared on Shang Lu’s face as he directly said, “I want to become Ultraman.”

[Hahaha, now I have the exact same expression as Shang Lu]

[Help, Ye Lu, that green outfit is really ugly, and there’s that turtle shell on his back. My eyes are sending an SOS]

[Ye Lu, can you please go back inside the shell? Suddenly I feel like the turtle is cuter]

Ye Lu didn’t feel the slightest bit of disdain from Shang Lu. He walked in her direction and said, “Let’s shoot, why can’t we? I’m a human, okay?”

Ye Lu has such a lack of self-awareness. Shang Lu pointed to a full-length mirror not far away and said, “Look at yourself in the mirror.”

Ye Lu looked at the mirror.

Carrying the weight of his shell, Ye Lu walked towards the mirror.

He saw himself in the mirror.

Ye Lu’s smile turned stiff because he made himself look ugly.

Slowly, Ye Lu squatted down and began pulling his hands back from his sleeves, curling back into his shell. This time, he was unwilling to show even his head.

No matter how the staff tried to persuade him, Ye Lu insisted that he could only take photos with Shang Lu inside this shell.

[Hahaha, my silly son finally realizes how ugly he looks.]

[Shang Lu : You’re so ugly, stay away!!!]

[I wonder why the makeup artist still bothers to put makeup on him, it’s unnecessary. Can a turtle body with a human head look good? Hahaha.]

[No, he’s not even showing his head anymore, hahaha!]

[Ye Lu : Shutting myself in, don’t cue me.]

[It’s okay, Ye Lu, our neighbor Director Song is also in an emo phase because of his Tigger costume, hahaha.]

Due to Ye Lu’s uncooperativeness, the pressure shifted to Shang Lu’s side.

“It’s hard.” Shang Lu said so after stretching out a hand and patting Ye Lu’s turtle shell, pressing it down slightly. Then, looking at the staff, she asked, “Can this turtle shell bear weight?”

Ye Lu, feeling wronged inside the shell, asked, “What do you want to do?”

Finally…

Shang Lu stood on Ye Lu’s turtle shell, holding a bottle and a piece of grass in her hands, posing with a serious expression.

Meanwhile, Ye Lu could only feel the weight on his shell but didn’t know exactly what was happening.

[Shang Lu’s portrayal of Guanyin4 is quite perfunctory, but she’s so serious, hahaha.]

[Ye Lu! Cheer up a bit! You’re not an ordinary turtle anymore! With Shang Lu’s change in identity, you’re now the noble dragon turtle, the mount of Guanyin!]

[Ye Lu : I thank your whole family!]

The staff members all held back their laughter.

Until the two of them finished shooting the scene, Ye Lu had no idea what the final shots looked like, but he didn’t get liberated from the turtle shell.

Because the next segment involved everyone shooting together.

Ye Lu curled up inside the turtle shell, moving across the ground like a robotic sweeper.

Then, due to not being able to see the path, he bumped into a wall.

Ye Lu didn’t want to stand up again. The turtle-human’s appearance was just too ugly, but sticking his head out to see the path was also frightening, making him inexplicably think of ‘crawlin on the ground in the dark.’

So, Ye Lu chose to seek help from Shang Lu. He said, “You can’t leave me behind, you have to lead the way for me.”

Shang Lu said, “Alright, take a slight left.”

Ye Lu replied, “…I can’t tell left from right.”

In the end, clever Ye Lu came up with a smart solution.

He tied a rope between the two ends, one end held by himself inside a tortoise shell, and the other end placed in Shang Lu’s hand.

With pride in his voice, Ye Lu said, “You go ahead, I’ll just follow the direction of the rope.”

Shang Lu: “…”

Shang Lu asked, “Are you sure about this?”

After receiving Ye Lu’s affirmative answer, Shang Lu naturally stopped objecting and instead cooperatively pulled the rope, walking downstairs.
