Chapter 7 #Chu Ling is an anti-hypocritical expert#
"How can—"
Lin Zirun's eyes widened, then he shuddered and stopped talking.
He indeed had not read the book, although that did not stop him from using this line of copywriting to create a character and deceive little girls every time.
Everyone is saying this, how could it not be the original sentence?
But when he looked at Chu Ling's calm and playful expression, he felt a little guilty for a moment.
Could it be that Chu Ling had actually read this book by accident?
"Then maybe I remembered it wrongly."
In front of the camera, Lin Zirun decided to cut his losses in time. He lowered his head and took a sip of coffee to cover up his embarrassment. Then he said, "What a coincidence! I didn't expect you to have read this book. Do you like reading too? You are even better than I thought."
Is it good to read this book?
Your standards are pretty arbitrary.
Chu Ling is now basically certain that Lin Zirun is a very common literary and artistic scumbag.
They often use some literary, philosophical, and artistic titles to approach you, create a sense of romance, deceive you, and play with your feelings. In the end, they may dump you with some literary and artistic excuses.
Chu Ling mocked him in his heart, but pretended to be curious and asked, "So what did you originally think I was like?"
Lin Zirun choked, and Chu Ling's negative information flashed through his mind.
He couldn't say that, so he had to bite the bullet and try to smooth things over: "After all, before I came here, I thought you were a celebrity. I always thought you were some distant goddess. I didn't expect you to be so approachable and that you and I get along very well."
He looked at Chu Ling lovingly and said, "Before coming to this show, I thought I would meet all kinds of people. But I never thought I would meet you, and I never thought that in you, I would find such a resonance in my soul."
"If you say it's because of reading, then there are probably tens of millions of people on this planet who resonate with you."
Chu Ling smiled, "Can your heart withstand this vibration frequency?"
Lin Zirun: “…”
Who on earth came up with the idea of inviting someone who is so bad at chatting to a dating variety show?
"But it would be nice to have a few more vibrations."
Chu Ling said, "After all, if you lose your energy, you will die."
Lin Zirun: “…”
He now felt that the negative rumors about her having low emotional intelligence and being a diva were not false.
That's the kind of person she is!
Lin Zirun felt a little restless sitting there, and seeing that his coffee was almost gone, he invited Chu Ling to join him on the City Walk.
Lin Zirun opened a new topic: "You know what? Sometimes, just walking down the street in this city can bring you unexpected rewards."
Chu Ling lowered her head and glanced at her high heels.
"What did you gain?"
She asked, "Blisters?"
Citywalk starts at a minimum of three kilometers.
She's worn these shoes throughout the entire photography exhibition, and now they're showing signs of weariness.
Lin Zirun glanced at her shoes and immediately put on a concerned expression: "Sorry, I didn't notice. But wait a minute, I brought a Band-Aid."
As he rummaged through his bag, he naturally started flirting with the girl, "If you really can't walk later, I can be your legs."
Physical contact is the fastest way to enhance feelings.
It is also the most easily-watched shot in the show.
Of course he noticed that Chu Ling was wearing high heels, and her legs would definitely hurt after walking a few kilometers. At that time, he could carry Chu Ling on his back under the pretext of concern.
He had used this trick on countless people he had a crush on, and it always worked.
Girls are always easily impressed by such small details.
"—You mean, you want to lend me a wheelchair?"
Chu Ling blinked and asked.
Lin Zirun: “??!!”
Chu Ling took out his phone and showed it to him: "I just did a search, and there's a shared wheelchair rental place nearby. There are several vacancies. I can use them. There are no restrictions."
Lin Zirun: “?!”
No, we are still recording the show!
Are you still a celebrity?! Where's your face?! Where's your image?!
Image?
She doesn't have any image at all.
Chu Ling only asked the system: "Is anyone scolding me now?"
The system glanced at the barrage for her and said, "...Yes."
But to be honest, more people were shocked.
【What did Chu Ling just say!? 】
[It's really hard for me to associate the words "female celebrity" and "wheelchair" together...]
[This is the first time I've heard of such a request... I thought she would just not go.]
[Hahahahaha, don't make me die of laughter, hahahaha, Lin Zirun is flirting with the blind man again.]
[What's so pretentious? You can't even walk this short distance and you still need a wheelchair. You're just trying to attract attention! You're taking up public resources!]
[But I have to say, Chu Ling achieved what I always wanted to do when traveling.]
Sure enough, it is so outrageous that even those who criticize you have to stop and see what will happen next.
Lin Zirun originally wanted to choose Citywalk for his own selfish reasons.
The city chosen by the program crew for recording is a city he is familiar with.
This street is also quite old. Along the way, he can explain to Chu Ling the cultural history and culture that this street showcases, and impress her with his knowledge - or at least impress the audience in front of the screen.
How romantic.
But now, he was forced to borrow a shared wheelchair for her under Chu Ling's command, and pushed her forward in front of the people on the street and the cameras, and all the romance disappeared.
Is this still a romance show?
Is this a female celebrity and her caregiver?
Lin Zirun felt so embarrassed that he wanted to die with every step he took.
However, the person involved, Chu Ling, was surprisingly calm and composed, and his psychological quality was first-class.
When he was about to push Chu Ling to a place he was familiar with, Lin Zirun's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Want to go to the bookstore in front?"
Lin Zirun said, "I felt lost for a while and often stopped by here. The owner of this shop is also quite familiar to me, so I just happened to stop by to say hello."
In fact, he had held a small book signing in this bookstore before, so the owner was naturally familiar with him. In a corner of the store, there were his signed books and photos of the previous book signing.
After being tortured by Chu Ling for so long, there is finally a topic that can help me regain my sovereignty.
Chu Ling said: "Okay."
The two parked the wheelchair outside the store and walked in.
As soon as Lin Zirun entered the door, he was about to wave and say hello to the boss.
"haven't seen you for a long time--"
“——Chu Ling?!”
The bookstore owner looked up at Chu Ling in surprise, then walked over to him, his face filled with disbelief. "Are you...are you that celebrity Chu Ling? The one who played the second female lead in 'Love at First Sight'?"
Although Chu Ling has a bad reputation, she was quite popular in the past two years - she played the second female lead in a popular idol drama, and her natural dislike for everyone made people hate her to death.
The boss rubbed his hands excitedly. "Hello, hello. My wife loved watching this drama and kept dragging me to watch it. I didn't expect to meet you in person. Can I take a photo with you? An autograph is also fine. I'll bring it back to my wife. She'll definitely be happy."
Chu Ling nodded happily: "Okay."
Lin Zirun, who was left aside, said awkwardly, "No, Xiao Li, you're being immoral. We're already friends, and you actually greeted Chu Ling first?"
The boss glanced at him, recalled for a moment, and then remembered: "Oh, you are - Mr. Lin, long time no see."
His attention was completely off Lin Zirun. He only glanced at Chu Ling, then realized something and asked, "Did you two come together? Are you friends?"
"We are recording a live show today."
Chu Ling generously showed the camera behind him and said with a smile, "Do you want to say hello to the camera?"
"Ah... hello, hello."
The boss awkwardly greeted the camera behind him, then nodded in understanding and said, "So that's how it is."
He said to Lin Zirun, "You are so lucky to be able to record a program with Chu Ling."
No matter how bad Chu Ling's reputation is, she is still a female star, and a very beautiful one at that.
Lin Zirun: “…”
He is also a young writer with some popularity!!!
The boss asked again: "What's the matter with you guys coming here today? Or do you want to read some books?"
Lin Zirun was just about to take the opportunity to naturally introduce his book. Just as he was thinking about how to start, he heard Chu Ling speak first.
"—bring me a copy of The Moon and Sixpence."
Lin Zirun: “?”
The bookstore owner quickly brought the book over. Chu Ling paid for it and handed it to Lin Zirun, saying in a relaxed tone, "This is a gift for your first date. Go back and read it again. It's a good way to learn new things."
——The implication is, go check the book to see if that sentence actually exists! Stop pretending!
Lin Zirun: “…”
Is this a gift?
This is a mockery!!
—
In the end, Chu Ling's group went back early.
Lin Zirun had originally arranged dinner at a Southeast Asian restaurant with a good reputation. He wanted to introduce Chu Ling to some of the Southeast Asian countries he had traveled to while eating.
However, he really couldn't bear to think that Chu Ling would do something to torture him, and he was so scared that he immediately chose to go home.
If he continues dating, he'll be half dead.
Chu Ling pushed open the door, looked at the empty house and asked, "Are we the first ones back?"
There was no one in the house.
"Maybe they all stayed out for dinner."
Lin Zirun faked a smile and tried to maintain his gentlemanly image in front of the camera. "Are you hungry? I can make anything you want."
If he stayed outside with Chu Ling any longer, he felt like he was going to become a psychopath.
It’s better to go home, at least I can go back to my own space and take a breath.
Chu Ling thought for a moment and asked him, "Can you cook better than Qin Shuo?"
system:"……"
It had no intention of pulling down... No, it suspected that Chu Ling definitely did it on purpose.
Lin Zirun's expression was very awkward for a moment.
If he said no, it would seem that his level was too low. If he said yes, he would be stepping on the best actor and would probably be criticized by Qin Shuo's fans.
In the end, he laughed it off and praised Qin Shuo: "Teacher Qin's level... I haven't studied there, so I can't do it."
"Never mind."
Chu Ling rubbed her stomach and said, "I felt sick to my stomach the whole day after eating yesterday. I'd better not gamble today."
system:"……"
[You don't even accept Qin Shuo's craftsmanship! Are you some kind of pampered little princess?]
[You heartless ungrateful bastard! Eat if you want, or get lost if you don't!]
Chu Ling was lying on the sofa playing with her mobile phone. She looked at the backend account information and then looked at the barrage of messages scolding her.
Yeah, that's what ungrateful people are like.
Making you angry while making money from you.
Lin Zirun returned to the restroom, where there was no camera, and called the director: "What kind of script did Chu Ling get? He's not cooperating with me at all! Is this how a dating show is filmed? I really can't go on."
"Don't worry, she is the script for the sacrifice to heaven. Doesn't her behavior just give you an opportunity?"
The director said, "Besides, your live broadcast room has the highest popularity today, even surpassing Qin Shuo's group."
This also surprised the director.
Qin Shuo has his own traffic and popularity, and is the only person in this show that the audience knows and has a good relationship with the public. Unexpectedly, he failed to PK with the talented contestant Chu Ling.
Her series of bizarre actions in the afternoon successfully attracted a large amount of traffic.
It seems that inviting her was the right decision.
"real?"
Lin Zirun felt happy again.
Although Chu Ling made him angry for a whole day, the public has sharp eyes.
I believe that after this day, they will feel pity for Chu Ling for being tortured by her for a whole day because they hate her. At that time, his popularity will increase.
Lin Zirun happily opened his phone, but found that the most discussed topic today was not #Chu Ling's low EQ speech# bought by the program team.
But it is #Chu Ling the anti-pretentious expert#.
Lin Zirun: “?”
Who bought it?
