Love Variety Show: The despised me exploded in popularity

"What's the girl's name?" someone yelled out.

"Can't say," Du Yuhang smiled, the perfect gentleman, "As long as she can hear what's in my heart, that's enough."

Suddenly, the teasing voices rose again.

Du Yuhang's gaze slowly swept over the crowd of girls, stopping at a certain spot. There, he noticed that Li Yang hadn't even lifted her head, seemingly chatting with someone on her phone.

The soft glow from the phone's screen fell on her face, highlighting her fair cheeks.

He felt a slight disappointment but was not discouraged. His fingers gently touched the guitar strings; this was a little-known gem of a song he had discovered a short while ago, which was somewhat popular at the moment.

But as for guitar playing and singing, he could be counted as one of the earliest to cover it.

As the intro began, the surrounding area quietened down. The girls in the front row looked up at Du Yuhang, their hearts touched by the sight of the warm-eyed handsome man before them, listening as he slowly started to sing.

"The story's little wild flower, fluttering by since the year it was born."

Upon hearing the familiar lyrics, Li Yang suddenly looked up, her face filled with confusion as she stared ahead. Eventually, her gaze locked onto Du Yuhang, and she couldn't help but stare blankly.

"Qing Tian"? Isn't that something Brother Xu wrote?

Caught in her thoughts, this scene was captured perfectly by Du Yuhang, a flicker of joy passing through his eyes. It was working; she was looking at me!

She must like me!

And so, Du Yuhang played even more fervently, pouring his all into the performance.

"On the windy day, I tried to hold your hand..."

Li Yang slowly came back to her senses and glanced at her phone, just as a message from Xu Qingyan popped up, advising her to observe more and speak less in the office on her first day.

She typed a dutiful "Okay."

In the circle, Du Yuhang just finished singing "Qing Tian" and instantly received thunderous applause. Accompanied by exclamations of awe, he received the highest honor of the military training.

In that moment, an unconscious smile played upon Du Yuhang's lips.

He knew he had now secured that "priority mating right" pass, all that was left was... He confidently turned his head but couldn't find Li Yang's figure.

Under a tree backlit by the sun, Li Yang answered a call, softly greeting, "Brother."

"Mmm, that company isn't far from your university."

"I know."

"Always tell a friend or send a message before you go out," Xu Qingyan seemed to be eating, instructing her over the phone.

"Your university area isn't absolutely safe, and you need to be cautious when you take a part-time job. Also, remember to bring back some snacks for your roommates each time."

"Why?"

"Because you're starting an internship early, just maintain a good relationship, don't tell your roommates too much," Xu Qingyan said, "If they ask, just say you're not getting paid."

Li Yang thought for a moment and responded with a simple "Okay."

"Alright, that's it then, call me if anything comes up."

Standing on the edge of the square, under the tree where there wasn't much light, she clutched the phone. Realizing Xu Qingyan was about to hang up, she suddenly mustered up the courage. Stay connected through empire

"Brother!"

"Hmm? What's up?" Xu Qingyan's voice came through rustling sounds; he seemed to have moved the phone away, and faintly, she could hear him say, "Damn, Shen Jinyue, you... you're such a glutton, stealing my food?"

Li Yang's breathing became a little heavy, her hands gripping the phone, listening to a sweet female voice on the other end saying that it's hers if she spit on it.

Listening to their interaction, Li Yang suddenly felt rather petty.

Although she didn't understand why the idea of pettiness had flashed through her mind all of a sudden, it was there, and it shamed her to even voice it.

On the other end, Xu Qingyan's voice became clear again.

"What is it?"

"Nothing, thank you, Brother," Li Yang said softly, a sincere smile appearing on her face, feeling like she should add something more.

She indeed had many things she wanted to say, but for some reason, remembering the female voice from moments ago, she instinctively chose silence.

"Okay." Xu Qingyan hung up the call.

"Who was that?" Shen Jinyue munched on the piece of meat she had snatched and looked up curiously at Xu Qingyan, "I noticed you gave very detailed instructions."

"A younger sister back home, kind of like a sister without blood ties," he replied.

"Geez, Xu Qingyan, you're so weird!" Shen Jinyue said with disdain, "What kind of description is that, a sister without blood ties, yuck!"
