Chapter 32

Time passed, and finally, Valentine's Day on February 14th arrived.

The entertainment industry was as busy as ever, with one batch of celebrities after another rushing to events. For ordinary artists, it was better to just wash up and go to bed if they wanted to celebrate Valentine's Day.

And every Valentine's Day, certain product sales would rise, like... roses... cough, what else did you think it would be?

Last year, Li Huanle spent Valentine's Day with Park Sojin, and this year, if we ignore the implications, he was spending it with two girls.

One was a cute pseudo-loli, and the other was a sweet and intelligent woman.

But in reality, they were just friends of the same age.

After three days of interaction, Li Huanle's relationship with Quan Baolan and Li Zhiyan improved significantly. Although Li Huanle often called Quan Baolan "pseudo-loli," "niece," and "little sister," which made her angry all the time, he wasn't worried about her revenge at all.

This made Quan Baolan grit her teeth and bare her fangs whenever she saw him, looking like a child.

Li Zhiyan's awkward smile also caught Li Huanle's attention, and he corrected her, saying that an awkward smile was fine when things were awkward, but it looked strange when things weren't.

So... in the end, Li Zhiyan was persuaded by Li Huanle to study "The Actor's Self-Improvement" together, and they would occasionally look up and practice lines online.

This made Li Zhiyan become Li Huanle's free practice partner.

Although Li Huanle wanted to build a good relationship with the two, he didn't deliberately flatter them. Moreover, since they hadn't debuted yet and weren't on his two-year plan's list of candidates, at least not in the endorsement column.

In a more natural setting, despite the noise and fuss, the three finally finished shooting the video last night. This morning, Quan Baolan and Li Zhiyan came to Li Huanle's residence early to wait for the video to be uploaded.

"Don't cross your legs, don't cross your legs,

Don't cross your legs, don't cross your legs,

Don't cross your legs, don't cross your legs,

Oh oh~

When you talk about being handsome, I instinctively defend..."

The three sat on the sofa in the living room, watching the video playing on the laptop on the coffee table. Quan Baolan and Li Zhiyan were very excited.

In the video, there were three people, of course, the three of them. After some changes, Quan Baolan and Li Zhiyan looked more harmonious. In the video, Quan Baolan, wearing long black stockings, was playfully singing with her legs crossed, looking very cute and a bit sexy, though it had nothing to do with the lyrics, it was quite refreshing to the eyes.

Li Zhiyan, sitting next to her, also had her legs crossed, and her short skirt showed off her attractive legs, always giving off a sexy yet cute vibe.

Finally, there was Li Huanle, who was sitting on the side, wearing a mask and playing the guitar. He had practiced the song for over a month, and while he wasn't the best, he could play it without any issues.

So he appeared in the video, but in a very funny way, only half of his body was visible, at the edge of the screen, which looked quite amusing.

However, what worried Li Huanle was that when he was making the video last night, he found his eyes easily drifting to the pseudo-loli's stocking-clad legs. At that moment, he realized that although the otaku's memories hadn't appeared, he had left some bad things behind, which were subtly changing him.

After some thought, Li Huanle decided not to worry about it. Just like how some people like big breasts and others like small ones, appreciating beautiful legs wasn't a heinous crime.

A moment later, Quan Baolan, wearing the same outfit as when they first met, said happily, "It looks pretty good!"

Li Huanle nodded and smiled, "Of course, let's upload it now. Let's hope for the best. Even though it's Valentine's Day, there are still many singles at home!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two pairs of eyes fell on him.

"Damn, what kind of look is that!"

Li Zhiyan used her evolved awkward smile and said, "Nothing!"

Quan Baolan said with a grin, "Lonely person!"

"Hmph, compared to you trainees, I'm not lonely at all. I'll upload it first!" Li Huanle said, then picked up the computer and uploaded the video to YouTube, Daum, and Never.

He also opened MSN and contacted a friend in the video department at Never, asking him to help with the review and recommendation. Then he started promoting it in his MSN groups.

"Wow~~ Boss, I've transformed, check out the song I wrote. If you like it, help me promote it quickly!"

...

"Is this your promotional method??" Quan Baolan looked at Li Huanle's actions and asked, speechless. Li Zhiyan also looked disappointed.

Li Huanle didn't bother to answer them. Although he only sent it to a few MSN groups, the members in these groups were mostly former Peace Guardians, and they came from various campuses. As long as some of them forwarded the video to their school, class groups, BBS, and SNS, it would result in a huge potential viewership.

Although they hadn't seen each other for a long time, no one would refuse such a small favor.

Li Huanle looked at the countless messages suddenly appearing on the screen, all greeting him and asking how he was doing, and his lips curled up.

"Boss~!"

"Leader!!"

"Peace Guardians!"

Boom, looking at the messages constantly refreshing on the screen, Quan Baolan suddenly thought of something. She stood up, pointed at Li Huanle, and stammered, "Y-You, you are Li Huanle, the leader of the Peace Guardians!!"

...

Li Huanle looked at the shocked Quan Baolan and said, "Can you not speak in that tone? It makes me sound like the leader of some criminal organization!"

"How could that be? How could you be that Li Huanle? It must be a coincidence, yes, a coincidence!" Quan Baolan said, somewhat excited. Thinking about the three days of interaction, this foul-mouthed bastard couldn't possibly be that famous person, right?

In fact, just as Li Huanle had thought before, he was indeed very famous north of the river. Many students had heard of him, some knew his name, and some didn't. However, not many had actually seen him.

Seeing Quan Baolan's excited state, Li Huanle ignored her and started paying attention to the uploaded video.

Li Zhiyan, on the other hand, was completely confused. She tugged at Quan Baolan's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Baolan, is he famous? Why do you look so excited?"

Quan Baolan stared at Li Huanle, who was focused on the computer, and indeed found it hard to believe.

Of course, she had never actually met Li Huanle. She had only heard about him from two classmates and others. In their descriptions, Li Huanle was a good person, a truly good person, who stood up to the powerful, helped the weak, and even helped old ladies cross the street.

And there was the Peace Guardians. In school, Quan Baolan knew about Li Huanle because she often heard others talk about him, which sparked some curiosity, but she had never met him.

At this moment, Quan Baolan was simply surprised. Although she had been curious about him, she hadn't been so captivated by just hearing about his deeds.

But the Li Huanle in front of her didn't match the image in her mind at all. Thinking about the past three days of Li Huanle's sharp tongue and stern face, how could he be the man who founded such an organization?

"It can't be the same person, it can't be!"
