Love Variety Show: The despised me exploded in popularity

Sister Zhou Zhou was the kind of person who would shine whenever Teacher Xu was by her side, and Qi Ting didn't even want to recall the past...

It was hard to imagine why some parents would treat their child that way, the slap that Lin Wanzhou endured when she was feverish remained vivid in her memory to this day.

She had seen how Lin Wanzhou became increasingly reclusive and how she emerged from the shadow of Guan Jin's death. She used to not understand, but now she did.

In those unbearably dark days, Lin Wanzhou wasn't mindlessly staring off into space. She had her own mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, always waiting for the dawn to break.

Many people were far more outstanding than Xu Qingyan, but they weren't Xu Qingyan.

So, when Qi Ting saw Xu Qingyan earnestly fooling the young girl, she couldn't help but want to laugh.

He didn't need to say so much, just a single sentence would have been enough.

Even though Sister Yun wasn't too fond of Xu Qingyan, she didn't stop them from meeting privately. She was afraid that if she did, the thankless wretch she had raised for seven or eight years might elope with someone.

Some people are born unfortunate, yet they are extremely lucky.

A crowd surrounded him, Pei Muchan with her dazzling glory favored him, and Lin Wanzhou, naive and confused, followed him. Even if he continually faced adversity, was slandered, and cyberbullied.

No beam of light truly fell on him, but the little diva, who should have been the center of attention, was willing to bow down. She reflected the light from herself onto Xu Qingyan, bit by bit.

Qi Ting didn't know if what Lin Wanzhou was doing was worth it, nor did she understand why Pei Muchan was doing it. She was just an assistant and couldn't manage that much.

The world was magnificent, yet it seemed to have become a stage belonging only to them. Below the stage was silence and darkness, on the stage was a cacophony of voices, surrounded by flowers and adoration.

"Well... it can't be helped, I have no songs left." Lin Wanzhou looked down.

"Didn't I prepare for you?" Xu Qingyan changed into slippers and took out a pair of new slippers he had prepared, handing them over, "There's a song that's quite suitable for you, I think it could work for the contest."

"What's the name?" Lin Wanzhou changed into the slippers and looked up to ask.

"An He Bridge."

Clack, the key was inserted into the keyhole, turned gently, and smoothly pushed the door open. Find more to read at empire

"An He Bridge?" Lin Wanzhou was still a bit confused.

Upon entering and suddenly seeing Pei Muchan sitting on the sofa playing with her phone, she instinctively straightened her back. Her eyes widened in surprise.

Before entering, she had been so dizzy from Xu Qingyan's roundabout topics that she almost forgot she had come too.

Pei Muchan looked up, her phoenix eyes slender, and as she turned her head, they opened bit by bit. The dark eyeshadow was striking, her gaze profound, imposing a heavy sense of pressure.

At least from Lin Wanzhou's perspective, that was indeed the case.

"Hello." Pei Muchan smiled and greeted Lin Wanzhou and Qi Ting.

"Hello, Sister Pei." Qi Ting was straightforward.

"You... hello." Lin Wanzhou seemed a bit unnatural, almost wearing her heart on her face, cute, "Sister Pei... when did you arrive?"

"Just now, ten minutes before you." She said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanzhou quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"We just arrived too, Ting Ting said she wanted to come over and check it out."

Qi Ting: "...."

Damn, Sister Zhou Zhou really didn't consider herself an outsider, pinning everything on herself! What's the difference between the words 'Qi Ting' and a Genshin Impact character?

It's over, I've been outclassed, the enemy has already reached the high ground!

Lost in thoughts, Qi Ting glanced at Pei Muchan's figure and almost drooled. Damn, what man could withstand her?

Her gaze shifted slightly, touching upon the composed Xu Qingyan, and a dark thought emerged.

Teacher Xu, couldn't he be... lacking in a certain area?

Based on her understanding of men, unless his manhood was overshadowed by his talents, it wasn't possible for him to have no reaction to Pei Muchan, a perfect older woman. Most likely, he was ruined.

"Please take a seat." Xu Qingyan said, "It would be a lie to say I'm not touched by you coming over in the middle of the night to check on me. If I speak more, it'll get sentimental. Let's express my appreciation through actions instead."

"Right, what would you like to drink, Qi Ting, what do you want?"

He turned to ask Qi Ting first, his office rookie experience telling him never to overlook an assistant. In the chancellor's presence, even a fifth-ranked official, let alone the personal assistant of a little diva.

Giving the assistant face, he would never lose out.

"Ah, let me think, just regular tea will do." Qi Ting was all smiles, returning favors, turned her head to Lin Wanzhou, "What would Sister Zhou Zhou like to drink?"

"I... I'll also have tea." She said.

"There might not be enough tea leaves, I usually enjoy it." Xu Qingyan lied with open eyes, speaking to Lin Wanzhou, "Hmm... would baked milk be okay?"

"Okay." She naturally agreed to anything, somewhat nervous.

He nodded and headed to the kitchen, as if he remembered something, turned back to Lin Wanzhou.

"Can you watch it for me for a while? There will be a delivery soon, and I'm afraid I can't handle it all. It'll be quick, not troublesome, just a few minutes will do."

"Oh." Lin Wanzhou almost matched her arms and legs as if she was back in military training.

Qi Ting, watching from the side, was overwhelmed, covering her face in shame. With their general so young and clueless, with no fighting strength, how could they face the fully leveled enemy boss?

In the living room, suddenly only Qi Ting and Pei Muchan were left. Qi Ting, comfortable in her own skin, didn't feel awkward. Sitting there, sentence by sentence, she began chatting miraculously with Pei Muchan.

In the kitchen.

Xu Qingyan's skill in making baked milk was very proficient, not requiring Lin Wanzhou's help at all. He even had time to reheat some milk for Pei Muchan.

Calling Lin Wanzhou into the kitchen was just to spare her from feeling awkward.
