Join the ServerOn Lou Yanchen and Zhongli Miaomiao’s side, the two finally emerged from the fitting room after changing their clothes.
Lou Yanchen’s upper body was almost naked, wearing only a white vest.
Because the size was truly ill-fitting, the buttons in front couldn’t be fastened at all, so it hung open.
Lou Yanchen’s lower half was in a pair of blue ripped jeans that barely fit, and on his feet were a pair of plain black slippers.
Having presumably already prepared himself mentally during those long few minutes in the fitting room, Lou Yanchen could even be described as calm.
[What kind of street thug outfit is President Lou wearing?!]
[Thank you to the saleslady at the clothing store, otherwise President Lou wouldn’t have been able to put on any pants at all, and our live stream might have gotten banned [doge]]
[Although the outfit is a mess, President Lou’s looks and figure at least manage to carry it off.
Especially those abs, oh my, slurp slurp!]
Zhongli Miaomiao, on the other hand, looked completely done with life.
She was wearing a yellowish-brown floral print dress that was so large it made her look extremely bloated, and on her feet were a pair of bright yellow-green sneakers.
[If you gave the little princess a sun hat and a mask, I’d probably have to call her “auntie” if I saw her on the street…]
[The person above, my soon-to-retire mother loves to dress like this when she travels…]
[How did you two end up at opposite extremes?
One looks ten years younger, the other looks ten years older?]
Just then, Sang Zhiyi, who had come down to the first floor, happened to pass by the entrance of this store.
Looking at the two figures surrounded by everyone, who seemed both a bit familiar and a bit unfamiliar, Sang Zhiyi’s footsteps unconsciously paused for a moment.
Silence is the bridge of Cambridge tonight.
Sang Zhiyi, Zhongli Miaomiao, and Lou Yanchen looked at each other.
All three were silent.
Only the live stream audience went crazy with laughter.
Zhongli Miaomiao was the first to break the silence.
She let out a miserable wail and collapsed, covering her head with both hands.
“Don’t look, don’t look!
Sister Xiaoqian, don’t look at me!
I know I’m super ugly right now, super ugly!
It’s all Lou Yanchen’s fault, aaaa—!”
Lou Yanchen: “…”
A crack appeared in Lou Yanchen’s calm demeanor.
He had never regretted coming to this crappy dating show more than he did now.
At this moment, the split-screen for Lou Yanchen and Zhongli Miaomiao’s group, along with the split-screen for Sang Zhiyi’s side, occupied more than 80% of the show’s viewers.
The entire live stream was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
[Hahahaha, I’m dying of laughter.]
[I feel like every frame of the “Eye-Sore Couple” right now is an incredibly expressive meme, hahahaha.]
[I heard this group was especially funny, so I came.
Sure enough, I didn’t come for nothing, hahahaha.]
Sang Zhiyi quickly stepped forward to comfort Zhongli Miaomiao.
“It’s not ugly, not ugly at all.”
“Look, the color of this dress really brings out the whiteness of your skin.
You have such a great figure.
Even if the dress is a bit big, you still manage to pull off that relaxed, lazy look.”
“The shoes are a classic style too.
You’re so beautiful; you look great in anything you throw on.”
“You probably haven’t worn this style much before.
Today is your first time trying it.
When I first saw you, I didn’t even recognize you, because it’s a completely different feel.”
“But no matter which style, you look beautiful!”
[I’m speechless… She can even turn this into a compliment.
Ren Xiaoqian is too amazing!]
[The key is that Ren Xiaoqian really didn’t laugh!
From the first moment she saw the little princess, she didn’t laugh at all, from beginning to end!
Her compliments are so believable that I have no doubt she actually thinks that way!]
[That hug, that face full of serious compliments—Qian Bao, you really love the little princess too much, don’t you?!]
[Love makes you blind, huh [doge]]
As the barrage comments said, Sang Zhiyi’s compliments were so sincere that Zhongli Miaomiao couldn’t help but relax a little and finally was willing to lower her hands.
Lou Yanchen also wanted to come over a bit, but felt he couldn’t swallow his pride.
Lou Yanchen thought, since Sang Zhiyi had complimented Zhongli Miaomiao so much, was it possible that in Sang Zhiyi’s eyes, his outfit was actually… not that bad?
Sang Zhiyi noticed Lou Yanchen’s gaze that he couldn’t stop from drifting toward her.
She turned her head and met Lou Yanchen’s eyes for a few seconds.
Then, “Pfft”—Sang Zhiyi couldn’t hold it in anymore and let out a laugh.
Sang Zhiyi quickly covered her mouth with one hand, but her shoulders were still shaking, clearly still laughing, completely unable to stop.
[Hahahaha, I knew it!
There’s no way Ren Xiaoqian is actually blind!]
[Soft and gentle with the little princess, but can’t help laughing at President Lou, huh?
I love this double standard.
I’m raising the banner of “Ren Zhong Dao Yuan” high!]
[Qian Bao, remember he’s your boss.
Careful, he might deduct your entire salary [doge]]
Lou Yanchen: “…”
Lou Yanchen once again felt as if he was experiencing two extremes.
On one hand, he was somewhat annoyed at Sang Zhiyi for openly laughing at him.
On the other hand, he felt that Sang Zhiyi, holding back a laugh and deliberately being mischievous like this, was especially lively and adorable.
This time, the latter clearly outweighed the former.
After soothing Zhongli Miaomiao, Sang Zhiyi didn’t linger and left.
The filming tasks for Lou Yanchen and Zhongli Miaomiao’s group at the mall were now complete, and their live stream was temporarily closed.
As soon as the production team staff said they could change back into their own clothes, Zhongli Miaomiao couldn’t wait to dart into the fitting room—a stark contrast to how she had been when changing earlier.
Even though Sang Zhiyi had complimented her so much, Zhongli Miaomiao wasn’t stupid.
Didn’t she know what kind of monster she looked like right now?
All she could say was that Sister Xiaoqian was just too nice of a person, not even finding her disgusting in this state!
***
As she approached the first-floor restroom, Sang Zhiyi deliberately slowed her pace, making it easier for the camera crew behind her to find a good, hidden corner.
The reason Sang Zhiyi had agreed with Liu Bolin on “one hour” was not only because she wanted to continue picking out items for Song Ying at that store.
But also because Sang Zhiyi could predict that given Liu Bolin’s impatience, he would likely come early to wait for her.
If she arrived later, it would easily expose the camera crew’s presence and make Liu Bolin notice something was wrong.
Better to strike first.
Sure enough, after Sang Zhiyi had positioned the camera crew and just reached the restroom entrance, Liu Bolin’s figure appeared.
At this point, there were still nearly twenty minutes until the agreed-upon “one hour.”
Although the guests couldn’t use their phones during filming, it was very easy to ask a staff member for the time or even briefly retrieve their phone to check it.
There was no possibility of mistaking the time.
This could only mean that Liu Bolin was far too impatient to see Sang Zhiyi.
Sang Zhiyi stood by the open sink area of the restroom, her posture graceful and elegant, one hand lightly holding the other wrist, gently biting her lower lip, her expression both hopeful and faintly nervous.
Seeing Sang Zhiyi like this, how could Liu Bolin bear to make the beauty wait any longer?
Immediately, Liu Bolin quickened his pace, almost jogging over to Sang Zhiyi.
“Sister Xiaoqian, why are you here so early?”
Liu Bolin panted slightly from running, grinning widely and happily.
“Couldn’t wait any longer, huh?
I knew you missed me too!”
Thanks to Sang Zhiyi’s earlier buildup, her live stream now had a considerably large audience.
Lou Yanchen and Zhongli Miaomiao’s group was no longer streaming, and visibly the most entertaining thing left was here.
There were also many of Liu Bolin’s fans, because the camera on Jiang Yingru’s side could no longer capture Liu Bolin, so they had come specifically to this live stream to see their idol.
[?
What is Liu Bolin saying?]
[Although Liu Bolin’s smile is as always goofy, for some reason it looks especially greasy and lecherous…
Ren Xiaoqian, just quickly tell him what kind of stuff Jiang Yingru likes and then get out of there.]
[What are you all screaming about?!
Our Bolin just has a good relationship with his senior, so he’s being a bit informal!]
But the very next second, the “senior” herself directly slapped Liu Bolin’s fans in the face.
Sang Zhiyi seemed frightened by Liu Bolin’s behavior and quickly stepped back.
“M-Mr. Bolin?
Please don’t…”
Sang Zhiyi’s face was full of fear and confusion, as well as obvious revulsion.
[…So this is what you call a “good relationship” with a senior?]
[Then it’s not our idol’s fault!
Ren Xiaoqian took the initiative to invite our idol here!
The one who actively flirts is the cheap one, understand?!]
Liu Bolin didn’t think Sang Zhiyi was resisting at all; he just thought she was playing hard to get.
“Oh, come on, we’re already here, what are you still afraid of?”
Liu Bolin didn’t hesitate to step forward.
“No one can see us.
It’s just the two of us.
We can do whatever we want!”
Sang Zhiyi widened her eyes.
“But Sister Jiang…”
Sang Zhiyi certainly needed to publicly cover up the story about “Liu Bolin asking about Jiang Yingru’s preferences.”
But when she had made the appointment with Liu Bolin earlier, she had resentfully said, “Your partner right now isn’t me.”
To Liu Bolin’s ears, Sang Zhiyi bringing up Jiang Yingru now clearly meant she was jealous.
“Why are you worrying about that old woman Jiang Yingru!”
Liu Bolin said without hesitation.
“How could she be as young as you, how could she be as pretty as you?
Don’t worry, even if she stripped naked and stood in front of me, I wouldn’t have the slightest interest!”
The live stream’s barrage gradually spiraled out of control.
[???
What the hell is Liu Bolin doing?!]
[What kind of explosive statement is that?!
Has the top idol gone crazy?!]
[I clicked into this live stream purely out of boredom.
Was the barrage just now cursing the female celebrity next to this male celebrity?
I don’t know the context, but for this male celebrity to say something like this and still have fans—are you all that undiscriminating?!]
[How has Sister Yingru wronged you to be described like this by you??!]
[So when you don’t know you’re on camera and you’re alone with a young, pretty girl, you just unscrupulously act like a pervert, is that it?!]
Liu Bolin’s fans, who had been so overwhelming just moments ago, were scattered and overwhelmed by the barrage from the originally silent majority of viewers.
As a top-tier idol in the entertainment industry, keywords like “Liu Bolin online scandal” quickly spread, attracting more people to come and eat the melon.
Even if some fans struggled to try to clean things up, the increasing number of viewers flooding into the live stream made it impossible for them to cope.
Even the staff members filming from the corner were stunned, unsure whether they should turn off the live stream immediately.
Sang Zhiyi had no intention of ending things so simply.
She looked as if she was extremely frightened, unable to help but hurriedly dodge to the side.
Dodge she did, but Sang Zhiyi still remained within Liu Bolin’s reach.
Sang Zhiyi looked at Liu Bolin timidly, her lips slightly parted, her curved lashes trembling gently.
Even though she was clearly afraid, it was full of an enticing quality, as if tempting him to bully her even harder.
Liu Bolin felt his whole body heat up at Sang Zhiyi’s expression.
He stared blankly at Sang Zhiyi, then swallowed hard and reached out to forcibly touch Sang Zhiyi.
Sang Zhiyi had nowhere to dodge, tears even glistening at the corners of her eyes.
“Don’t be like this… don’t…”
Her words of resistance not only failed to stop Liu Bolin, but instead made him think of scenes from certain adult films.
Liu Bolin chuckled, then directly grabbed the hand of Sang Zhiyi’s that he had been lusting after for so long.
“Touch it!
Isn’t it very—”
Sang Zhiyi finally couldn’t take it anymore and exploded.
She pulled her hand back and slapped Liu Bolin hard across the face.
“Get lost!”
The slap was quite loud.
Then, Sang Zhiyi hurriedly ran toward the camera, her mouth forming words that looked like she was asking for help.
Liu Bolin was stunned by the slap, and instinctively reached out to pull Sang Zhiyi back.
Suddenly, Sang Zhiyi stumbled and fell to the ground, as if he had pushed her.
Liu Bolin: “……???”
More and more question marks filled Liu Bolin’s mind.
He hadn’t even touched Sang Zhiyi, so how did she fall?!
