Love Variety Show: The despised me exploded in popularity

Chapter 99: Chapter 99 (Seeking the First Subscription) Xu Tongxue, Long Time No See in Ten Years

Nian Shuyu had just finished the first sentence when the laughter erupted.

The guests couldn't hold back their laughter; even Xu Qingyan couldn't resist. He had listened to Bai Jinze's Mary Sue love letter without laughing, but You Zijun's letter was where he finally cracked.

In the living room, apart from Nian Shuyu on the stage, the female guests were a complete laughing mess.

"Hahaha!!! This letter is hilarious, my stomach hurts from laughing so hard!" Shen Jinyue was laughing so hard she fell backwards onto the floor, her face flushed and sliding off a mask of composure.

Pei Muchan pressed her lips together, her head down as she covered her mouth to stifle her laughter.

Lin Wanzhou turned away, her shoulders trembling slightly with repressed laughter. Cui Ying, who was sitting next to her, didn't have much of a reaction, laughing for a while before occasionally glancing at her cellphone.

The barrage in the live feed was even crazier, with "hahaha" scrolling across the screen at a relentless pace.

"I've got that old problem of cringing on behalf of others again, I've already curled my toes into a three-room flat with living room, welcoming a 1.7 meter tall busty loli to move in."

"God, that voice bubble sound, hahaha."

"I bet this guy's going to be famous, don't stop, keep the music playing and read on!"

Xu Qingyan was delighted, having only wanted to see what kind of nonsense this green tea bootlicker You Zijun had written. Little did he know the kid actually did his homework.

"Sad boy, don't cry."

Damn it! You Zijun clenched his fists, burying himself into the couch. Hearing Xu Qingyan's schadenfreude, there was nothing more pitiful than a social death—broadcasted live across the whole network at that.

His future bloopers would be in high definition, uncensored for the whole world to see. His life was over.

The living room was in chaotic amusement from the love letter reading, and Nian Shuyu stood on the stage with a complex expression. She turned to ask a crew member.

"Do I have to keep reading?"

"According to the rules of the game, you generally can't stop, please continue."

"No! I quit! I give up this opportunity!" You Zijun sprang up, "I'm not filming anymore, I want to go home!"

"In typhoon weather, ships cannot leave the harbor," Xu Qingyan helpfully reminded before quickly changing the subject, "Yo, little brother You, what's wrong with a man having a bit of guile? What's there to be embarrassed about!"

"They say men and women are equal, and I think it's time for that equality. Why is it that when girls are sly, it's cute, but when guys do it, it's funny?"

"Thank you so much!" You Zijun completely deflated, crouching on the floor and covering his face.

"No need."

Xu Qingyan still wanted to laugh, but when he saw the Patek Philippe on You Zijun's wrist, he could no longer bring himself to. Damn it, a true winner in life right there.

Envious as hell, die a social death!

Cui Ying put away her phone and began comforting You Zijun, speaking words of encouragement. She even said directly she admired people "brave" like You Zijun the most.

Using a terribly lame excuse, "You remind me of my first love; he was also this brave."

This time, Xu Qingyan really couldn't contain himself.

The production team was truly malicious, blatantly fooling the rich guy. The director and Cui Ying were conspiring, planning to assassinate You Zijun's sense of shame.

"Really?" You Zijun looked up.

The letter reading around the hearth continued, and Nian Shuyu took a deep breath before reading the next line.

"You are like a lilac flower, so melancholic, walking alone in the desolate alley in the rain. (Deeply looks up to the sky at a 45-degree angle.)"

"Hahahaha!!!"

Cui Ying didn't want to laugh; she was an inside professional, but she just couldn't help it. She was biting her lower lip so hard that it was nearly bleeding, and she managed to squeeze out a stifled cough through her nose.

The following three minutes would be the darkest three minutes of You Zijun's life.

The guests in presence laughed over and over again, Shen Jinyue laughed so hard that she started convulsing and lay motionless in Pei Muchan's embrace. Lin Wanzhou covered her face, while Pei Muchan simply turned away.

After one round, You Zijun's eyes had lost their brightness. It was fortunate that Cui Ying promptly stepped forward to comfort him, managing to soothe the child's emotions. It would have been troublesome to have an incident during a typhoon.

It was now Cui Ying's turn, and she read the letter from Liu Renzhi.

The contents of the letter were surprisingly normal, merely describing the first impression of their meeting and expressing kind feelings toward Cui Ying, who replied with polite thanks.

By now, only Xu Qingyan's letter remained unread among the male guests, and only Pei, Lin, and Shen among the female guests.

Xu Qingyan suddenly realized something—all three women's letters were written to him. Did this mean he had to go on stage soon and read three letters at once?

The live chat had already started to get excited, thanks to the saintly You Zijun, the show's live viewership surged, with screens rolling with a repeated phrase.

"Came for the reputation!!"

A staff member drew out a letter, glanced at it for a second, and read out loud.

"A letter from Lin Wanzhou to Xu Qingyan, please Xu Qingyan..."

Xu Qingyan paused, rose from the sofa, and strode toward the mailbox. After taking the letter from the staff's hand, he unfolded it, and the sheet slowly came into view.

He spread out the folded paper, carefully read the first line, and began to read aloud.

"Xu classmate, it's been ten years."

As soon as the first sentence fell in the living room, the guests who were making tea by the stove paused their actions. Pei Muchan raised his head, his expression growing more and more serious.

The live chat exploded in an instant, with exclamations flying everywhere.

"Ten years?"

"Did Xu Dog and Zhouzhou know each other ten years ago? Oh no! Could there really be something between them?"

"Script, it's all scripted. Who is Zhouzhou, and what kind of person is Xu Dog? Are they even a match? Being classmates is already a stretch, what star dates a nobody!"

Xu Qingyan didn't feel much about it; ten years not seeing each other was also a fact. He glanced over and continued to read.

"Youth was chaotic and war-torn, all the warm air in my embrace, even if it turned into the wind, didn't dare meet you. After such a long time, even regret begins."

"For you, I know very little."

"Fortunately, we met halfway through life, yet still young as the wind."

The letter ended there, like a short and simple poem. Lin Wanzhou seemed to have stuffed all her words into those few short lines, embedding them in every stroke of the pen.

Sharpness hidden everywhere, never mentioning like, yet joy was omnipresent.

It was like climbing a hill to find no one, then another mound still finding no sight of you. You were nowhere to be found, yet you were everywhere. Turning back, I found you standing at the very tip of my heart.

Between the lines, one could feel the joy of a long-awaited reunion.

Just as she wrote in the last line, fortunately, we met halfway through life, yet we are still as youthful as the wind.

He turned to look, and Lin Wanzhou was also looking at him, smiling sweetly in a rare tilt of her head. Pure as the early snow on a winter mountain, a smile that blossoms flowers.

"Cough cough." Xu Qingyan sniffed, somewhat embarrassed as he averted his gaze.

He truly was close to losing his composure—a covert confession from the pop diva, bloody hell, who could maintain their Zen? He really didn't know how Elder Tang managed to get through the Country of Women, truly badass!

All these talks of detachment, seeing with one's own eyes, who could withstand it?

He pinched the letter, folded it again, and put it back in the envelope. Before he had a chance to step down, a staff member called out again, "...please Xu Qingyan..."
