CH 12.4

Do You Still Hate Her? 02 – I didn’t know you guys are such good friends.

And by evening, everyone’s room renovation was also completed.

For Ning Lin, the current situation is not optimistic, so she didn’t intentionally interact with Shang Lu too much during today’s recording, but instead got closer to Song Zeqian and Jiang Jing.

Ning Lin’s fans are naturally satisfied with this, believing that Ning Lin gaining the favor of seniors like Song Zeqian and Jiang Jing is more meaningful than being with people like Shang Lu.

Shang Lu also thinks it makes sense, after all, in the original plot, Ning Lin was Song Zeqian’s muse, and this variety show is their opportunity.

In the evening, everyone introduced the rooms they renovated.

Among them, Ning Lin and Jiang Jing’s renovation was considered the most normal.

Ning Lin bought a large number of decorations that girls like, such as starry lights or dreamcatchers, and made her room very pink and girlish. The overall renovation was very successful, and the barrage was also praising her handiwork.

The task she set up was relatively simple, which was to take ten cute photos in such a room and upload them to Weibo.

It was a very ordinary task that didn’t offend anyone, in line with the standard of most variety shows.

As for Jiang Jing, she bought a lot of cute dolls. She felt a little embarrassed, but because she became a mother two years ago, when she was renovating the room, she was thinking about what her child would like, and the whole room was also very cute.

As for her task, the person who stays in the room has to vividly narrate three fairy tales in front of the camera.

As for Song Zeqian, he used the five hundred yuan to rent many props such as swords and hung them all over the room.

Ye Lu swallowed and said, “I have a bad feeling about this.”

Shang Lu asked on behalf of Ye Lu, looking at Song Zeqian, “Your task isn’t going to be an impromptu performance, is it?”

“Give you credit for not being that stupid,” Song Zeqian replied while he was spinning a pen he picked up somewhere. Then he flipped over the whiteboard and explained the task requirements: “Impromptu performance, self-written and self-acted, over five minutes long, with distinct storylines and character personalities.”

Lin Yanyan wore a pained expression. “What is this? Am I making my debut or taking an art exam?”

Ye Lu was even more direct. “If I get this, I can only compete with Song Zeqian for the lowest score. He will be the heartless and I will be the smart one.”

Netizens also had sharp comments on this part.

[When Song Zeqian’s task was revealed, it felt like your teacher suddenly pulled out the final exam paper during your spring outing.]

[Moreover, Ye Lu is a student from a neighboring major who came randomly.]

As for Xu Ze, there wasn’t any obvious direction in what he purchased, but he did transform the entire room into shades of gray and white.

However, his task was considered the most difficult by Shang Lu—

To not speak until the following morning.

That should be very suffocating.

Shang Lu silently prayed in her heart that she wouldn’t draw this task.

Next, it was finally Lin Yanyan, Shang Lu, and Ye Lu’s turn.

The barrage wasn’t interested in the rooms they had renovated, but they were looking forward to their task they were bragging and competing with each other.

Looking at the snacks in Lin Yanyan’s room, she finally turned the sinful whiteboard, on which was written:

‘Eat at least five bags of snacks and three pieces of cake.’

Shang Lu was puzzled.

She looked at Lin Yanyan, asking, “Are you really doing such a good deed?”

What kind of strict task is this? Isn’t it a reward?

“How is this possible? Eating so much at night will make your face swell tomorrow,” Lin Yanyan said openly, clasping her hands together. “I’m looking forward to seeing who will set off my beauty.”

Everyone present : “…”

Netizens : “…”

[As expected of you, Lin Yanyan.]

[The princess’s scheming doesn’t need anyone else’s interpretation. She can say it herself first.]

[Isn’t it said that bad people are smart? Princess, how come you’re both bad and stupid? But…you’re still kind of cute? Oh no, am I going crazy?]

Finally, it was time to reveal the room designs and tasks of Shang Lu and Ye Lu, who saw each other as the final competitors in the “who has the most despicable task” (just kidding).

In contrast to Xu Ze’s room, Ye Lu’s room was pitch black, with many red candles and lanterns hanging around, and even a skeleton on the sofa, creating a creepy scene.

And the task written on his whiteboard was to watch a horror movie he specified and not close their eyes throughout.

Everyone : “…”

Lin Yanyan’s face showed obvious horror, saying directly, “If I drew your task, you’d be done for.”

Ning Lin also looked worried because the horror movie selected by Ye Lu was very famous and considered the pinnacle of horror movies in the past decade.

Shang Lu looked directly at Ye Lu and asked, “Have you seen it?”

Ye Lu was very frank and admitted, “No, I’m scared to watch it. Otherwise, how could I use it to scare you guys?”

Shang L u: “?”

Ye Lu’s reaction caused laughter in the live broadcast room.

[Hahaha, why does the style change every time we get to Ye Lu?]

[Ye Lu, you’re really the most sincere person in the world.]

[How do you manage to be so cowardly and yet so confident? Hahaha.]

The last room introduced was Shang Lu’s room.

When she turned over her board, she had prepared nothing except for a few books.

Ye Lu didn’t understand what she was going to do and asked directly, “What’s your task?”

Shang Lu innocently pointed towards the director’s group and said, “They said I have to wait until we finish drawing lots.”

She had no choice but to follow the rules.

Everyone began to draw lots one by one.

Ning Lin and Song Zeqian drew each other’s names, which was a crucial plot point in the original plot where Song Zeqian began to pay attention to Ning Lin because she completed his performance requirements and achieved a score above the passing line, leaving a good impression on him.

As for the remaining people, Jiang Jing drew Lin Yanyan’s “swollen face package”, Xu Ze, who was quiet and reserved, drew Jiang Jing’s storytelling task, and unfortunately, Ye Lu, who was talkative, drew Xu Ze’s room and couldn’t say a word from now on.

Ye Lu was originally very distressed, but when he saw that Shang Lu drew his room and had to watch the horror movie alone, he still smiled happily, even though he couldn’t speak.

The last one was naturally Lin Yanyan. Looking at the paper with Shang Lu’s name on it, she urged, “Stop teasing us and tell us the task.”

Of course, after meeting Shang Lu’s eyes filled with pity, Lin Yanyan inexplicably felt nervous.

As it turned out, her intuition was right.

Shang Lu smiled and pointed to ten books on the bookshelf, saying, “I bought these books for you. Choose one and write a 6,000-word book report for me.”

Lin Yanyan : “?”

Everyone : “?”

Netizens were shocked by the sudden task from Shang Lu.

[Who do you think you are, looking down on Song Zeqian! Your task is clearly the same as his… or even more outrageous?]

[I never expected to suddenly enter a learning segment. Look at Lin Yanyan’s expression, it’s completely frozen!]

[6,000 words in one night! You have a heart of stone! But, well… it’s not like I’m the one writing it, so I love it!]

Lin Yanyan was completely petrified, looking at the brand new books in front of her and the already opened document page on the computer. She didn’t know what she did wrong for fate to treat her like this.

Ning Lin comforted her, “It’s only seven o’clock now. You can finish it if you hurry.”

Lin Yanyan’s lips twitched even more. She could finish writing, but the problem was…

She hadn’t read any of these ten books! She had to read them first before she could write!

Feeling the anger in Lin Yanyan’s eyes, Shang Lu innocently shrugged and asked back, “Can’t you do it?”

Although the tactic of provocation is old-fashioned, it is still effective.

Lin Yanyan immediately replied, “Who do you think you are looking down on? Of… of course I can do it!”

But Lin Yanyan was still unhappy and decided to pick on Shang Lu: “You’re just preparing these few books? That’s so perfunctory!”

“No, I have other things prepared for you.” Shang Lu walked over to the drawer and pulled out—

a rope and a hammer.

Lin Yanyan: “?”

Shang Lu handed them to Lin Yanyan very seriously and said, “Have you heard of the story of hanging a beam and stabbing one’s thigh? You can imitate it if you feel tired.”

Lin Yanyan was so angry that she was itching to hit Shang Lu, but Shang Lu looked at her with such sincere eyes when saying those irritating words, as if to say “see how thoughtful I am.”

It was really—

super annoying!

After Shang Lu handed over the “props,” the director’s team cued them to return to their respective rooms to complete the task.

Among these people, Ye Lu seemed to be the happiest.

Although his task seemed difficult, as long as he could keep quiet, it was actually equivalent to having no task.

So he could just go back and sleep, and when he woke up, it would all be over. His was the easiest task!

So Ye Lu walked over, patted Shang Lu’s shoulder, gave her a thumbs up, and had a smug look on his face.

However, just as Ye Lu was about to leave, Shang Lu suddenly interrupted his wonderful fantasy for the night and said, “I want to use the special card.”

In front of everyone’s eyes, Shang Lu took out a special card from her pocket, and from it she took out a card that read—

‘Double Suicide.’

Shang Lu smiled at Ye Lu, then looked towards the program team, and said the most cruel thing in a gentle tone, “I want to use this card on Ye Lu and invite him to watch a horror movie that he personally picked out with me.”

Ye Lu : “?”

Everyone : “!!!!”
