So Handsome

"Fuck..."

Yu Lin was the first to snap out of it. He did not care whether what he said would get censored in post-production; he just stared in astonishment at the volleyball that had landed in bounds on the other side.

He rushed forward and pulled Li Yu into his arms, unable to contain his excitement. "Little Yu, we won! We won!"

Li Yu patted Yu Lin's back, his expression remarkably calm. "Yeah, I know. You really didn't have to yell that loudly."

"Do you know? Fuck, that spike just now was insanely cool... I thought you wouldn't make it to the ball..."

Yu Lin kept rambling. In that brief instant, his adrenaline had surged, and every one of Li Yu's movements seemed to slow before his eyes. Then there had only been one thought in his head: Li Yu was fucking handsome.

Lia blew her whistle again, signaling the end of the round. Li Yu's team had won.

Chi Yan and Zhou Yanqing both remained silent as they accepted towels from the staff and wiped off their sweat.

It would have been a lie to say they had not been struck by how handsome Li Yu looked in that moment.

That head-on blend of youth and wildness was the most captivating thing of all.

But Li Yu's impact on them had been too strong. Even now, they had not fully recovered, their hearts still pounding fiercely.

"Oh my god, Little Yu, do you know how high you jumped at the end... Oh my god, you were seriously so cool..."

Shu Menglan grabbed Li Yu and squealed like a marmot, as though she had become his number one diehard fan on the spot.

"Little Yu is amazing. He seems pretty talented too," Liang Meichen praised.

"Damn, you beat both Chi Yan and Zhou Yanqing. You two are impressive," Xiang Zhinan said.

"Yeah, Yu Lin was great too." Xie Jingming nodded.

"Hehe, it was all because Little Yu is amazing."

Yu Lin smiled sheepishly. Although he had just fallen while trying to block a ball and ended up with a mouthful of sand, he still felt that they had won solely because Li Yu was there.

Whether from embarrassment at being praised or from the intense exercise just now, Li Yu's entire face had turned red, the flush spreading all the way down to the base of his neck.

Li Yu had not gotten a towel, but he was not picky about it. He simply lifted the hem of his T-shirt and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

His pale, narrow waist was exposed to the air, the faint lines of his abdominal muscles visible beneath his skin. He was lean, but built just right.

The smile on Yu Lin's face vanished the moment he saw it. Once he realized what he was doing, he casually turned away, but his peripheral vision still lingered on Li Yu's waist.

Chi Yan and Zhou Yanqing were standing nearby, so naturally they saw it as well. Zhou Yanqing had just been about to say that he could get a towel from the staff, but Li Yu clearly had not paid them any mind and had simply lifted his shirt to wipe himself off.

What had been silence between two people now became silence between three.

And for a moment, the atmosphere was incredibly strange.

They all silently wondered what it would be like to hold that waist in their hands.

After intense exercise, men generally had reactions of varying degrees. And Li Yu's action was like tossing dry kindling straight into a fire, making the flames burn even hotter.

"Hey, Little Yu, here's a towel."

Shu Menglan did not think there was anything wrong with the scene and simply handed Li Yu a towel.

"Okay, thanks, Menglan." Li Yu lowered his shirt and used the towel to wipe his face instead.

"Li Yu, your body is this good, and you usually keep it hidden? I was standing behind you just now, and I even saw that you have two Venus dimples," Xie Jingming's voice drifted over.

The three men beside him tensed up again at Xie Jingming's words.

"Huh? I've always had them. It's nothing special."

Li Yu clearly did not care at all.

"I heard Venus dimples are also called the sexy eyes of the human body... Hehe..."

The expression on Shu Menglan's face suddenly turned lecherous, as if she were about to snatch away a decent young man by force the next second.

[I admit it, Li Yu's spike just now totally won me over.]

[Before, I only thought Li Yu was good-looking, but I couldn't really get him. But just now, he was seriously so hot ahhhhh, does anyone get me? My heart is pounding.]

[Li Yu has exactly the kind of lean pretty-boy body I love. I love lean pretty boys.]

[My wife actually has Venus dimples. Damn it, why didn't the cameraman catch that? I want to see too!]

[As someone who has studied volleyball, I have to say Li Yu's movements just now were completely correct. His handling of the details was excellent, and he even landed on both feet. Could he have learned volleyball before?]

[He definitely looks like he has.]

[My wife is amazing, she can do everything, sob sob sob, I'm useless.]

[I screen-recorded it and saved it in my gallery. Whenever I miss my wife, I'll watch it over and over.]

[Girl, good things should be shared with everyone!]

Before the second episode of A Day to See All the Flowers had even come out, Li Yu was trending again!

#Li Yu Volleyball Spike#

#Li Yu Venus Dimples#

It started when a netizen thought this clip was cool during the livestream, screen-recorded it, and posted it so other girls could admire his face too. Unexpectedly, plenty of passersby who did not watch the show also noticed the post—

There was no other reason. The boy in the GIF perfectly fit every fantasy girls had of a male lead in a youthful campus romance.

The boy wore neat, tousled black hair, his head tilted slightly upward as sunlight fell across the sharp lines of his profile. His thin lips were pressed together, and his resolute gaze was fixed on the volleyball.

He leaped into the air as though wings had sprouted from his back, kicking up a spray of sand. His heels drew back, his body arched like a bow, and his right arm pulled back. His elbow drove his forearm and wrist, his palm wrapped around the ball, and he completed the spike in an instant.

hols: Oh my god, where did this handsome guy come from? He's insanely hot, okay?

Hermit Master: That jumping ability... freaking incredible...

Butterfly Dance: Why do I think this move looks so beautiful... Is this what they call violent aesthetics?

Spring Breeze Ten Miles: This guy is too fierce...

Spicy-and-Sour Fish: So handsome. I want to learn too.

Slow Song: No need to look any further. This handsome guy is definitely going to appear in my sketch assignment next week.

Called Han Xin for Wearing a High Ponytail: Fuck, I thought the handsome guy in the GIF looked familiar at first glance. Looking closely, isn't that my wife Little Yu? I stopped following the livestream for just a few days and my wife evolved again?

A Stranger: What livestream? I really want to watch too.

every day: So handsome, it feels like he grew wings on his back.

This time, Li Yu became popular without even relying on the release of the show's second episode. He went viral solely through a simple GIF.

After it blew up on Weibo, related edited videos appeared across all kinds of short-video apps. One video of Li Yu's spike had already received over five hundred thousand likes on the Douyin platform, becoming a huge hit, with countless people in the comments saying they had been won over by how handsome he was.

This was another substantial wave of attention. Added to the popularity from the show's first episode, Li Yu gained even more recognition.

When someone was about to become famous, there was simply no stopping it.
