Do You Still Hate Her? 10 – Not innocent, know third still third.

[Ye Lu’s expression looks really desperate, hahaha.]

[I never thought in my life that one day Ye Lu would become the only normal person among a group of people. I don’t know whether to be happy or sad about it.]

[On the surface, it seems like Shang Lu abandoned Ye Lu alone, but in reality, Ye Lu’s entire world has turned against him.]

[Suddenly, the lifeline that Ye Lu held tightly in his hands made a dash towards the sea (kidding)]

Ye Lu couldn’t understand, really.

Ye Lu asked, “But can you really tolerate it?”

“When I stand opposed to them, I need to correct them, and it does feel painful. But when I join them, I feel happy.” Shang Lu looked at Ye Lu seriously and pondered, “Perhaps this is the legendary ‘turning enemies into friends.'”

Ye Lu : “?”

[Is this how this idiom is used, hahaha?]

[If you can’t change others, then change yourself! Brothers! Let’s cleverly target Shang Lu in the public chat!]

Seeing Shang Lu switch sides, Ye Lu looked at the remaining people and caught one who seemed suspicious to him.

Ye Lu turned to Song Zeqian and asked, “Why are you singing so loudly and enthusiastically? When I just taught you, you were obviously being perfunctory!”

Song Zeqian took a sip of water, then sneered, “Since they tortured me by singing so horribly, they shouldn’t expect an easy time either.”

[What a strange logic, but surprisingly it makes sense.]

[Torturing each other, driving each other crazy.]

[I have something to say… Is this the return of the ‘mutual destruction’ strategy 3.0?]

Feeling intrigued, Shang Lu’s playful spirit soared, and she even organized a spontaneous activity.

Since Y eLu was in charge of the most challenging part in the entire song, Shang Lu proposed that each person should sing Ye Lu’s part to let him experience the boundless possibilities.

Ye Lu felt it.

With just that one verse, these five individuals managed to create five different songs. His ears buzzed as if eighty woodpeckers were pecking at him in a row.

Seeing that Ye Lu seemed to be holding onto something, Shang Lu persuaded him once again, saying, “If you’re a friend, join us.”

Lin Yanyan added, “The sea of bitterness knows no bounds; turning back is the shore.”

Ye Lu naturally refused, saying, “Impossible, I am the lead vocalist!”

Is this about the dignity of being a lead vocalist?

“You probably don’t have the ability, right?” Shang Lu’s expression turned disdainful. “Being able to sing well is nothing special. As an idol, of course, you’re the best singer among us. But if you could also sing horribly, that would be real talent. Well, you clearly can’t do it.”

Everyone: “?”

What kind of logic is this?

[I smell a conspiracy.]

[I think Shang Lu is trying to deceive Ye Lu, but I have no evidence.]

[Ye Lu is not a fool. Singing badly doesn’t mean it’s a skill. What is Shang Lu thinking?]

One of Ye Lu’s fans timidly speaks up.

[…No, although it’s not, but it’s not that far off.]

[Moreover, Shang Lu used a common but highly effective tactic on Ye Lu—provocation.]

As expected, the fans truly understand the real leader.

Upon hearing Shang Lu’s words, Ye Lu immediately looked up and sneered, “How could you all possibly think I can’t do it? Let’s go, let’s record a song! I’ll show you what real talent is! What a true lead vocalist is! What it means to have complete control!”

Shang Lu slammed the table and said, “Alright, let’s go!”

Of course, when they arrived at the recording studio in the afternoon, Ye Lu finally realized.

It seemed like… he had been fooled by Shang Lu?

But admitting it now would make him look stupid.

Continuing to pretend he didn’t realize would make him look even more foolish.

Ye Lu’s mind was racing, trying to figure out how to maintain his image.

Soon, he came up with an idea.

Since Shang Lu thought he fell into her trap, he would agree to sing along with them in chaos, but he would actually sing seriously by himself. That way, Shang Lu would know that he hadn’t been deceived at all! She was the foolish one!

Very well, Ye Lu is very satisfied with his plan.

This is what Ye Lu thinks and intends to do.

However, before this, he once again went through several people’s brainwashing one after another. When it was his turn, Ye Lu was full of confidence and ready to showcase his skills to save the audience’s ears. But when he opened his mouth, he realized…

No, this pitch is wrong! Lin Yanyan sang this pitch! This is incorrect! Get out of his mind quickly!

So, in the second line, Ye Lu urgently made adjustments, but it still wasn’t right. This time, he sounded like… Song Zeqian’s pitch?

Ye Lu’s face turned pale in an instant.

And now, it’s even worse.

Not only did he go off-key, but he also cracked his voice.

Netizens: “?”

[Did Ye Lu really do what he said? Did he actually sing the worst?]

[Help! Has Ye Lu, who debuted for so many years, sung this badly for the first time?]

[Congratulations, Ye Lu, you really won!]

However, at this moment, Ye Lu didn’t want this kind of victory. It seemed like there was suddenly no turning back.

When it came to the chorus part, his body was still here, but his soul didn’t know where it had gone.

Ye Lu made a terrifying discovery—

He didn’t intentionally sing like this, but because he couldn’t remember how this song should have been sung.

Ye Lu was unwilling, but with each recording, he strayed further and further.

Several attempts to change and salvage it only made things more absurd.

He could sing the tune of any song everyone else sang, but he couldn’t sing the original melody of this one.

Ye Lu finally understood the meaning behind Shang Lu’s words, “If you can’t beat them, join them.”

Here…

No one can sing this song anymore, hey!

Shang Lu consoled Ye Lu, saying, “If you continue to resist, the one in pain will be you. But if you join in, the ones in pain will be the audience, all those who hear this song. The pain may not disappear, but we can find a way to transfer it.”

Ye Lu : “!!!”

Makes sense.

Audience : “?”

[Shang Lu, you said it well. Don’t say it again next time!]

[Are you conspiring in front of us to transfer the pain onto us? Be a decent person!]

[No, Shang Lu, you’re wrong this time too. The first time I listened, I was in pain, but after listening to it repeatedly, I started to smile.]

[It’s strange. When I listen to any one of them singing alone, it’s definitely torture, but when they sing together, although it’s still unpleasant, I inexplicably find myself laughing along.]

[Hahaha, same here! The bizarre atmosphere of “we’ll die together” makes this terrible song strangely funny!]

Shang Lu successfully convinced Ye Lu.

In fact, there are also the factor that Ye Lu can no longer sing. Instead of letting others see him struggling as the lead vocalist and still not singing well, it’s better to join in the ‘lousy performance’ and at least save his face.

The program team fell into a silent state, everyone looking at each other.

Staff A : “Should we contact the best audio engineer right away?”

Staff B : “Actually, I think we can also hire professional singers for the officially released theme song.”

Staff C : “My ears… Is this considered a work injury?”
