Do You Still Hate Her? 07 – The most handsome man in Shang Lu’s eyes

The relationship between Ye Lu and Yu Su was quite good, so he casually put his arm around Yu Su’s shoulder and introduced Yu Su to others, saying, “Yu Su is like Xu Ze, not very talkative. You don’t have to exchange pleasantries to chat with him. Just talk to him directly if you have something to say.”

While saying this, Ye Lu’s gaze drifted towards Xu Ze, and he even thought wickedly that if he were to put Xu Ze and Yu Su together, they might never speak for the rest of their lives.

Ye Lu’s gaze continued to drift…

Oh, it landed on Shanglu’s face and then became perplexed.

Because at this moment, Shang Lu was staring at Yu Su with wide eyes, her face filled with disbelief.

Even though he wasn’t present, Xia Yuan also noticed Shang Lu’s exaggerated expression, so he smiled and said, “Shang Lu, it’s your first time seeing Yu Su, right? You seem so surprised. Are his eyes even smaller than what you’ve seen on TV?”

Netizens also found it amusing, and like Xia Yuan, they thought Shang Lu was shocked by Yu Su’s eyes.

[Shang Lu, can you tone down your expression a little? Geez.]

[I can tell, Shang Lu’s double eyelids are bigger than Yu Su’s eyes (can this be said?).]

[Shang Lu’s big eyes are full of shock.]

Everyone thought Shang Lu was shocked because Yu Su had small eyes. Lin Yanyan couldn’t bear it and reached out to pull Shang Lu’s sleeve.

Only then did Shanglu come back to her senses, but not completely. Her mouth was faster than her brain—

“D*mn, he’s so handsome.”

Everyone : “?”

On the other end of the video call, Xia Yuan was momentarily stunned, but then his smile became brighter. He said, “Thank you. I also thought you were beautiful when we collaborated last time.”

“I wasn’t talking about you,” Shang Lu felt that Xia Yuan’s words were inexplicable. Then she looked at Yu Su and asked directly, “May I take a photo with you?”

Yu Su : “…?”

Everyone present : “?”

The barrage remained silent for a few seconds, then erupted.

[Hahaha, what was Shang Lu saying? Did I understand it correctly? Was she praising Yu Su for being handsome?]

[Well, Yu Su is not ugly either. After all, he has height on his side, and his features are only let down by his eyes. But with Xu Ze and Ye Lu here, how could Shang Lu find Yu Su handsome?]

[So, was Shang Lu just stunned by Yu Su’s face? It’s so absurd that I can’t help but laugh.]

There were also people on-site who found it extremely ridiculous, and one of them was Ye Lu.

Ye Lu confronted Shang Lu with his own face, asking, “Am I not handsome? You’ve never praised me as a handsome guy, have you? What’s the reason for that?”

Ye Lu was extremely confident in his own appearance. He knew he was good-looking, even in the situation where his popularity was overshadowed by Xia Yuan, it was him and not Xia Yuan who was recognized as the face of the group by the fans.

“Just average,” Shang Lu glanced at Ye Lu. He was handsome, but the entertainment industry was never short of good-looking guys.

But it was different with Yu Su. The moment Shang Lu saw him, she felt her brain momentarily go blank, and there was even a feeling of electric shock in her mind.

System : [……]

It felt guilty, but did not dare to speak.

Shang Lu quickly found the answer—

Her self-consciousness was in conflict with the system’s plot control, and the diary was filled with descriptions of a ‘man with tiny eyes.’ Wasn’t that Yu Su?

Although it couldn’t be called love at first sight, Shang Lu definitely felt that among all the people she had ever seen, Yu Su was—

The! Most! Handsome!

Of course, Shang Lu didn’t originally plan to show such an exaggerated reaction, but she couldn’t control herself just now, and it wouldn’t be appropriate to pretend to be reserved now.

So Shang Lu looked at Yu Su and asked again, “Is it okay?”

Yu Su lowered his gaze and looked at the girl in front of him. The initially awkward atmosphere completely engulfed his heart, leaving him at a loss. However, when he met Shang Lu’s sincere gaze, he froze.

There was no trace of mockery or any hint of seeking attention in those eyes. They were simply too bright and clear. The gaze directed at him conveyed anticipation and a hint of embarrassment, nothing more.

Just as she had said, she genuinely thought he looked handsome, without any malicious intent.

Yu Su felt somewhat bewildered.

He had never imagined that someone in this world would sincerely praise his appearance, the face that had subjected him to countless ridicule and had made him extremely self-conscious.

Meanwhile, Ye Lu, who was scolding Shang Lu for not recognizing how handsome he was, volunteered to take their picture. Angrily, he said, “Let’s take a photo now! I’ll take it for you!”

He went straight to the program crew and grabbed Shang Lu’s phone, then pushed Yu Su to sit next to Shang Lu. Holding the phone, he quickly snapped two pictures of them.

Then Ye Lu squeezed in and sat on Shang Lu’s other side, raising the phone high to forcefully join in. The three of them took a few more pictures together.

Throughout the process, Shang Lu happily raised her hand and made a victory sign, while Ye Lu seemed to be getting annoyed. Yu Su wore a polite smile on his face, but there was a hint of stiffness and confusion in his eyes.

The netizens were entertained by Ye Lu’s reaction.

[Ye Lu will definitely have insomnia tonight until three o’clock. Tears wet his pillow, but he can’t figure out why Shang Lu refuses to call him handsome.]

[Shang Lu seems to be in a good mood… I’m starting to believe that she genuinely thinks Yu Su is a handsome guy. At least in her heart, Yu Su is more handsome than Ye Lu and Xia Yuan.]

[SN group: Xia Yuan is the official face, Ye Lu is the chosen face, and Yu Su is the face in Shang Lu’s heart. How can this be?]

[Some of Yu Su’s fans are here, and even though we dare not say it with a clear conscience, Shang Lu said it sincerely.]

Meanwhile, Lin Yanyan looked at Shang Lu with a horrified expression.

She didn’t think that Shang Lu has a unique taste but had only one thought in her mind : Oh no, Shang Lu isn’t going to fall in love again, right?

Seeing Shang Lu in front of her… Oh, of course, now Shang Lu is her good friend. But her mind is filled with images of Shang Lu’s previous romantic disasters. Lin Yanyan feels like she just wants to extend a helping hand…

No! Stop it!

Song Zeqian was the most accepting of the situation, casually peeling an orange with a hint of interest in the spectacle. After all, as artists, they had seen all kinds of situations, and he had seen countless unattractive celebrities being praised with closed eyes to appear sophisticated.

Jiang Jing’s state today was clearly off. She didn’t pay much attention to what was happening on the scene and seemed a bit absent-minded. It’s unclear what she was thinking about.

Xu Ze, on the other hand, quietly sat in the corner, but unlike the others, his attention was not on Shang Lu and Yu Su, but on Xia Yuan on the screen.

rokumi’s note : wow, I actually forgot that there was a system in this novel….
