20: Chapter 20: Little Dimples Makes His Debut, Goddess Blushes, and Everyone is Stunned.

Hearing this, everyone's gazes converged.

Lu Li thought for a moment, then spoke calmly.

"Since our show is a dating variety show, why don't we match the theme and go with a love song that exceeds the sugar limit?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the living room fell silent for 0.00001 seconds before sparse applause rang out.

The guests present had mixed expressions; they wanted to laugh, but constrained by the live broadcast cameras, they could only pretend to look forward to it and cheer him on.

After all, love songs seemed simple, but they were among the hardest ones. Wanting to write and sing them well was even rarer.

However, Shen Qingxue alone was looking at him very seriously, not perfunctorily like the others.

Lu Li stood on the stage, holding a guitar in his hand, taking everyone's expressions into his eyes.

But there was no expression change on his face; he only lowered his head slightly, his fingers gently sliding across the strings, producing a few fragmented notes.

"This song is called..."

He paused, raised his head, and his gaze calmly fell on Shen Qingxue's face offstage. Those shallow little dimples were really not easy to spot unless one looked closely.

"little dimples"

The three words drifted lightly into everyone's ears present.

The living room was quiet for a fraction of a second.

"Pfft..."

The one who laughed this time was Lin Yu. She really couldn't hold it in; although she quickly covered her mouth, her shoulders were still trembling.

"Lin Yu, what do you mean? Is this song title very funny? Not funny at all, okay?"

Zhou Yichen wore a playful smile, then bantered with Lin Yu, who couldn't hold back her laughter.

After recovering, Lin Yu spoke with a straight face.

"Actually... I just thought of something very funny."

Zhou Yichen smiled along with her, but didn't speak again. After all, subtly mocking Lu Li was enough; continuing would make him lose status.

However, the netizens in the live streaming room certainly wouldn't suppress themselves.

[little dimples??????]

[Hhahahaah hahahaha I can't do this, I'm laughing to death]

[little dimples? Why don't you come up with a chicken coop, bird nest, cat nest, or dog kennel???]

[Haha, then I'll add a chicken egg, duck egg, goose egg, plus Goudan and ostrich egg]

[The person above still wants to add eggs? I won't even give you an egg]

[This naming skill is too down-to-earth; Uncle Wang next door wouldn't give such a name when writing songs]

[Laughing to death, and sugar limit exceeded? Just this song title? Where is the sweet? Where is the limit? Where is the exceed? Where is the standard?]

[I think it's pretty good, so cute, little dimples, sounds sweet as soon as you hear it]

[Are you serious upstairs? A song name like this would come in last at a kindergarten nursery rhyme contest]

[Wait, don't laugh yet, what if the song sounds good?]

[Sounds good? Look at the name he gave, do you think it can sound good?]

[Exactly, exactly, Zhou Yichen's original work is called 《Stars》, how atmospheric! Look at this again, little dimples, the difference in superiority is clear as day]

[To be fair, this song title is indeed a bit... rustic]

The bullet screen comments mocked one-sidedly, and the atmosphere at the scene became increasingly subtle.

Director Zhou stood behind the camera, the corners of his mouth almost splitting to his earlobes. He secretly glanced at the backstage data, and the online viewer count broke through again, still soaring frantically.

He took a deep breath, trying to make himself look less excited, and then shouted through a megaphone.

"Alright! Then let's welcome Lu Li to bring his original song... little dimples!"

As soon as his voice fell, Lu Li was already sitting on the stool in the center of the stage, holding that guitar in his arms and resting it steadily on his legs.

The stage lighting was dimmed a bit, leaving only a few warm yellow lights shining on him.

Lu Li lowered his head, placed his fingers on the strings, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled.

In his mind, that familiar melody automatically sounded.

He glanced offstage. Shen Qingxue was looking at him leisurely, her cold face still devoid of any expression, but her eyes were exceptionally focused.

Lu Li withdrew his gaze, and his fingers fell.

The guitar prelude sounded, a simple and brisk melody flowing from his fingertips, crisp and clean, carrying a sense of joy.

The moment the first note sounded, the people in the living room didn't pay much attention to this prelude.

There were plenty of people playing guitars and singing love songs in dating variety shows; nothing rare about it.

The bullet comments in the live streaming room were still mocking.

[It's starting, it's starting, I want to hear what tricks this little dimples can sing out]

[The prelude is okay, quite brisk]

[Feels like the guitar is played well, but the song... to be determined]

[Laughing to death, do you guys really think he can sing anything good?]

The prelude was very short, and Lu Li spoke soon.

"I am still looking, for a reliance."

"And an embrace..."

"Who prays for me, worries for me."

"Gets angry for me and fusses for me."

His voice was not loud, carrying a lazy tenderness, simply singing it out.

The noise in the living room suddenly stopped at this moment, and the trend in the live streaming room changed at this moment too.

[Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait]

[I am still looking for a reliance and an embrace... Are these lyrics written too well???]

[Sounds good, damn it, really sounds good]

[My goosebumps are up, really up]

[Huh?! Impossible, absolutely impossible! An eighteenth-tier transparent newcomer can write this kind of song???]

[Holy crap! Sure enough, once Slacker Brother opens his mouth, it's either a car crash or attaining godhood!]

At the scene, Lu Li was still singing, his body and mind fully immersed in it, and the song gradually came to the chorus part.

"little dimples, long eyelashes."

"Are your most beautiful mark."

"I can't sleep every day, missing your smile."

"You don't know how important you are to me."

"With you, life's completeness is just right."

After singing this line, Lu Li suddenly stood up.

While playing the guitar, he walked forward from the center of the stage, his steps unhurried, his gaze sweeping across the audience below, finally landing steadily on Shen Qingxue.

"little dimples, long eyelashes, hopelessly charming."

"I slowed down my pace."

"Feeling like I'm drunk."

Shen Qingxue's body, which was originally leaning against the sofa, suddenly stiffened. She watched Lu Li on the stage holding a guitar and walking towards her direction.

Her heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat.

Finally, Lu Li stopped at a position neither too far nor too close from her, playing and singing while locking his eyes tightly with hers.

Shen Qingxue's earlobes began to burn.

That heat quickly spread to her cheeks, and she felt her face turning red at an uncontrollable speed.

She subconsciously wanted to look away, but her eyes seemed to be nailed down, unable to move away at all.

"Finally found the beauty of a tacit understanding."

"A lifetime of warm goodness."

"I will love you forever until old age."

Lu Li took another step forward, getting even closer to her.

The sound of the guitar echoed between the two of them, firmly tying their gazes together.

Shen Qingxue finally couldn't handle it anymore.

She abruptly turned her head away, looking at the coffee table next to her, pretending to look for a water cup, but the blush on her earlobes had completely betrayed her.

Her fingers trembling slightly, she picked up the water cup, only to find that the cup was empty, which made it even more awkward.
