It was just a love letter; I'm really no great writer!

Why are you still live streaming?

[Wasn't the show already off air...?]

[It's likely that the staff forgot to turn off the equipment.]

[Hilarious! Even a big show like this from Tencent is just a makeshift production.]

In the live stream, a few scattered comments floated by.

on the screen.

The moonlight swept across the vast lake, making it shimmer in the evening breeze.

Suddenly, a girl in a white dress walked into the frame.

Her jet-black hair shone like the full moonlight, and her steps were light and graceful, like a nimble little deer.

It is none other than Zhou Haoxi, the currently popular "national daughter".

She appeared silently in the dark corridor and walked into the warm golden light.

Her innocent face revealed the delicate shyness of a young girl.

She would rest her chin on her hand for a moment, then fidget with her fingers, as if waiting for someone...

The number of comments on the screen immediately surged!

Holy crap! Are they on a date?!

[Really? Didn't Xixi say she wouldn't date?]

My goddess! My heart is breaking!

Who is Xixi having a secret rendezvous with?

[Could it be Lu Ran...? Is this really turning into a dating reality show?]

[A top-tier poet and the nation's sweetheart, they're such a perfect couple!]

[What?! Lu Ran, don't get involved with our Xi Xi!]

[I'm fed up with you fandom guys. I'm a pure-blooded fanboy. As long as Lao Lu writes poems for us, what do a few women matter?]

Does nobody care that the live stream is still running?!

[Someone please warn me, this young couple is really getting carried away, I don't even want to think about what they're going to do next...]

[Front row seats, waiting to see what happens]

A large number of netizens flocked to the live stream to watch the drama unfold.

The trending topic of Lu Ran and Zhou Haoxi's relationship quickly rose to the top of the search rankings.

But strangely, the live stream never ended...

Under a bright moon, Zhou Haoxi stood by the railing.

The wind blew her clothes, making her look as beautiful as a fairy from the moon palace.

"The moon rises above the willow branches, and we meet after dusk."

Accompanied by iconic poetry recitations.

Lu Ran appeared, smiling as he walked towards Zhou Haoxi.

The comments section was filled with messages calling out to Dan Ding.

【Professor Danting, it's time for your critique again!】

Haha, Teacher Dante is so busy!

Teacher Dante is really enjoying himself, savoring the finest rice husks every day.

It seems Lu Ran and Hao Xi are really dating. Meeting up so late at night is quite romantic.

What is he holding in his hand?

【love letter!】

Oh no, another goddess is about to fall for him...

"You've arrived."

"I am coming."

Lu Ran, holding the envelope, walked up to Zhou Haoxi, and they smiled at each other.

High-rise buildings under the bright moon, a gentle breeze on the lake shore.

The two of them smiled at each other without saying a word, and that was beautiful.

Zhou Haoxi looked at the letter in his hand: "Is it finished?"

"Okay." Lu Ran handed her the letter. "This is for you."

Zhou Haoxi blushed, took the letter, and smiled happily.

If this is typical of variety shows, they'll probably add some pink bubbles in post-production...

Countless 9s floated across the screen.

Despite being bombarded with displays of affection, I still offer my blessings.

but……

A discordant voice rang out.

"Director Di, look—" Zhao Sizhe, dressed in a white suit, walked up the stairs with the elegance of a gentleman.

Lu Ran and Zhou Haoxi looked over in surprise.

At the top of the stairs, a woman of unparalleled beauty walked up, wearing a beige knitted long cardigan and light gray casual pants. She had a slender waist, wide hips, and long legs, with a flawless face and a cascading cascade of black hair.

Under the warm golden light, Di Qingling's expression seemed to be frozen with ice.

At this point, the number of viewers in the live stream had exceeded the usual peak of 50, and the barrage of comments was overwhelming.

【What a nice view!】

[This is Di Qingling, the director of the show; the "Parasite" tour is also her work! Beautiful and talented!]

[Such a good-looking director, I love it!]

[Oh no! This is terrible! Director Di emphasized that we can't date on the show!]

[It's okay if we talked about it, the broadcast has already ended.]

The audience is still unaware of the seriousness of the problem...

Zhao Sizhe's expression couldn't hide his smugness.

Lu Ran, no matter how talented you are, you're just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old kid. You think you can compete with me?

Now let's see how you get out of this!

He knew Di Qingling's temperament very well; she seemed cold as ice, but she never showed any mercy when it came to work.

Typical of someone who is cold on the outside but tough on the inside.

That time in Huaicheng, Zhao Sizhe unintentionally saw Di Qingling leaving arm in arm with her "younger brother" Lu Ran.

At first he thought they were siblings, but later he found out...

They're a secret couple.

at last!

He found a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to let Di Qingling see Lu Ran's true colors—

Di Qingling glanced at Lu Ran with a blank expression.

Without uttering a word, he turned and went downstairs.

Ning Ning and Zhao Qingqing were both on the stairs.

Guo Lin and Xiao Cai were also peeking around, seemingly enjoying the show.

"Director Di..."

"Why is Director Di crying?"

While Xiao Cai was still oblivious, Guo Lin had already sensed the chilling, tense atmosphere of a battlefield in the air.

"Director Di, she might be... Lu Ran's official girlfriend."

"Huh?" Xiao Cai was stunned.

Putting myself in Lu Ran's shoes, it's utterly hopeless...

He was caught red-handed by his girlfriend while having a secret rendezvous with his mistress.

However, Director Di seemed to want to save face for him and chose to leave...

"Director Di, don't go!"

Zhao Sizhe's sinister voice rang out, "Are you still going to keep your relationship with Lu Ran a secret?"

Di Qingling abruptly turned her head, her eyes coldly fixed on him: "What did you say?"

"Hahahaha." Zhao Sizhe laughed heartily, "If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place!"

"The script for the stage play 'Parasite' that you directed was written by Lu Ran!"

"Netizens have taken photos of you and Lu Ran hugging in Suocheng!"

"And during these days of recording the show, you specially prepared aphrodisiac prescriptions and brewed Chinese medicine for Lu Ran to drink!"

"Want to deny it? I have plenty of evidence... But you never imagined that, despite how much you like him, he'd be hooking up with another young woman right under your nose!"

At this point, Zhao Sizhe's face contorted slightly.

He looked at the silent Lu Ran, as if declaring victory: "There is a special clause in 'Heartbeat Trip' - dating is prohibited during the filming of the show."

"If a breach of contract is made, the penalty will be ten times the amount of the breach of contract."

"Lu Ran, your salary isn't low. You'll receive a full 4.5 million for the entire season. I don't need to elaborate on how much you'll lose, do I?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.

Guo Lin clicked his tongue in amazement: "Wow! Luckily, no one wants me... A relationship costs forty-five million..."

Lu Ran sighed, "I knew it, how could there be such a strange clause?"

It seems that Zhao Sizhe had been meticulously planning this since then.

At this point, the number of viewers in the live stream exceeded one million and was still rapidly increasing...

Holy crap! This is so exciting!

[Isn't this the end of the world? Lu Ran is going to be burdened with an astronomical debt...]

[Sigh, I can't blame Lu Ran, our Xi Xi is just too charming.]

[We're saying, who could resist Zhou Haoxi!]

[A fan of Sissi for ten years, I feel a pang of sadness, like a father watching his daughter being lured away by a blond guy. The nation's sweetheart hasn't even become the nation's first love yet, and she's already the nation's heartthrob...]

[Wait, my brain's fried! Director Di is Lu Ran's girlfriend? And Xi Xi is Lu Ran's girlfriend too?]

【No way, I just became a fan of Lu Ran, and his image has already collapsed?】

[He's definitely a scumbag, the evidence is irrefutable, there's no doubt about it]

[By day he was a glamorous love letter poet, but overnight he became a notorious pariah, burdened with huge debts. How tragic...]

The boat capsized, so here comes the grand funeral.

[Haha, now the whole internet knows Lu Ran is drinking traditional Chinese medicine to nourish his kidneys.]

[Lao Lu is now trying to transform himself into Tang Bohu, let's see if there's any hope... If all else fails, he should learn from Principal Wang.]

Lu Ran's most pressing task is to teach himself physics and develop controlled nuclear fusion.

[Professor Yang Wendao has something to say: Isn't this stealing the jobs of us physicists?]

I'm worried that Lu Ran won't be able to afford the breach of contract penalty from the production team. The Nobel Prize money is eight million; let's see if Lu Ran can win the Nobel Prize in Literature this year.

Can you win a Nobel Prize by writing poetry?

[Yes, poetry has high artistic value; Dylan won the prize, didn't he? But Lu Ran's poems have been written for too short a time, so their reach is insufficient, and they haven't yet impacted society and the times. Maybe in another thirty years, when he's in his fifties or sixties, he'll probably win the Nobel Prize.]

This night was destined to be the most exciting night on the internet.

Even Danting, who was already resting, was startled awake and watched the drama unfold with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

Poets always seem to be surrounded by controversy.

They possess the most acute artistic sensibility, and their emotional perspectives often deviate significantly from the values ​​held by the general public.

At this moment, atop a tall building.

Zhao Sizhe walked towards Lu Ran and Zhou Haoxi, snatched the envelope from Zhou Haoxi's hand, and looked around at everyone.

it's time.

Finally, a fatal blow was dealt to Lu Ran—

He faced the camera and waved the envelope.

"Look, Lu Ran's love letter!"

Let's enjoy it together...

"How could a great poet whitewash this perverse love!"
