I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 104: Brilliant

The scene was too terrifying, with the production team and cameramen laughing until they fell.

In such a dance of chaos, with Mu Qiu being urged on, she suddenly felt like a grandmaster on Bright Summit using her music to drive away demons and snakes, overlooking all beings. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

With this in mind, Mu Qiu pressed down heavily with both hands, making the electric piano emit wailing sounds, each note louder and uglier than the last.

Li Yang: How can the electric piano sound this awful? Is it broken?

Mu Qiu grinned widely, intrigued, and continued pressing down rapidly, even doing a three-finger press: "Don’t blame me! You guys told me to play! I feel like I’m in tune now!"

Shu Ran, who was playing the guitar, was completely thrown off but miraculously kept up with her tune.

"I feel like I’m in tune too!"

Li Yang: "...... Spare my ears! I don’t plan to change careers!"

Mu Qiu was possessed, pounding the electric piano with glee, her expression a genuine grin from ear to ear.

She always wanted to learn an instrument, but usually gave up because she was embarrassed by how bad it sounded at first. This exhilarating experience of playing wildly was something she long wanted to try!

Thanks, production team!

Perhaps her joy was contagious, as Shu Ran’s guitar playing grew increasingly absurd, Cheng Zhirang’s drums couldn’t keep up with their world. Lin Xixi’s dancing changed completely, turning into a softer martial art. Guan Yu, trying not to be distracted and punished, automatically increased her singing volume, her sobbing resonating throughout the venue, occasionally interspersed with attempts to pull back to the original tune with various "la la la la la wo mi".

Laughter took the lead, combined with the deadly sounds of instruments, sobbing, and Li Yang’s angry roars. It’s nothing short of chaos.

[... Incredible, I can’t think of words other than these to describe this scene]

[Maybe I’m too naïve, with the volume up loud in the public restroom... I’m too scared to go out now]

[Mom asked why I was watching five shows at once]

[My computer endured too much of my second spit take]

[I just watched, Li Yang slowly going insane]

[I remember Li Yang and Qi Feng were supposed to be on the show to attract fans. Managers better check if it’s the wrong show]

[I laughed so hard I was doubled over, classmates asked why I was keeping sadness inside]

[Genuinely, honestly, applauding humanity]

[Training human voices and bodies is hard, I get it now]

[Seriously, am I the only one laughing with hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh? It’s killing me!]

[There’s actually a situation that makes my eyes leave Brother Cheng’s face]

[My eyes are overwhelmed, blinded]

[Even with headphones on, they’re likely to be deaf for two days]

[Hahaha, I’m laughing myself half-paralyzed! Li Yang, you take full responsibility!]

[Li Yang: How are Guan Yu and Mu Qiu’s actions my responsibility?! I’m a victim too]

[Mu Qiu covering her ears was so real, she couldn’t stand listening to it herself]

[How’s Brother Cheng maintaining that loving expression? I’d crack on the spot]

[I feel like this episode’s theme should be—just have fun, why think so much]

[Talented, a program like this not becoming popular would defy nature]

The music continued as Mu Qiu crazily played "Night’s Death Chapter," finally causing the tormented director to call for a stop.

Nobody heard it, not even Li Yang, who had given up, starting to show off his skills. The center-stage singing and dancing barely moved, the cool dances in the front were never offbeat, the middle singers wouldn’t be in tune, and the final instrumentalists followed their free hearts into vast grasslands.

"Stop stop stop stop stop!"

The director switched to a megaphone, freezing in pose, as Mu Qiu contentedly withdrew her hands from playing, closing her eyes to savor the lingering resonance.

"Marvelous!"

Unlike them, caught up in their slacking and having fun, Li Yang, Shu Ran, and Shi Yuhuai erupted with white smoke, almost knocking Shu Ran off balance, quivering along with the noise, then closing their eyes to quietly appreciate this "wonder."

Being punished with the "fart device" for the second time, Li Yang was utterly desolate and exhausted, with no emotional fluctuation, collapsing to the ground, unable to get up.

"I’m done for, I have a concert next."

"In my head, all I can hear is the electric piano and Sister Guan Yu’s singing. I still have to play electric piano!"

But now he likely forgot even the original piano key notes.

A mudslide in his boy band career, arriving without warning.

Qi Feng also sat on the ground panting, his eyes from winking continuously about to cramp.

The deathly music finally ceased, the director thought better of switching back to a small megaphone, wielding a big one to max the volume.

"The task results are in. During the music session, both the Blue and Red Teams had members who couldn’t maintain their expressions and were punished, task failed. Only the Yellow Team, Brother Cheng’s team, succeeded and can participate in the lottery."

Slumped utterly lifeless on the ground, Li Yang mentally recited "I’m a singer, I’m a boy band leader" ten times, then hesitantly raised his hand.

"Director, I want to correct something."

Director: "What?"

Li Yang barely whispered: "This wasn’t playing music, this was taking my life."

"......"

Okay, disregarding whatever life or death happened to others, the Yellow Team emerged from this brutal scene and got the upgrade for the first task, going to the lottery.

Guan Yu was extremely excited, showering Cheng Zhirang with praise: "Brother Cheng, you are amazing! I didn’t hear any mistakes from the drum, not a single one, your expression was perfect, you’re incredible!"

Mu Qiu: "That’s because your wailing was too loud, drowning out the sound so you couldn’t hear the mistakes."

"But all I heard was your electric piano, as awful as it was, it turned cacophonous!"

"..." Mu Qiu couldn’t help but laugh, closing her mouth to stop the laughter from vibrating through her throat, "It’s rich of you to talk, the worst sound came from your mouth, my expression was shaking incorrectly, anyone would think it was a new song by you, this is Justin Bieber’s worst blackened moment."

"So are you questioning my praise for Brother Cheng? Are you questioning Brother Cheng?"

Mu Qiu opened her mouth but was inexplicably silenced.

Cheng Zhirang, perhaps from just laughing until his face stiffened, had his tongue against the side of his face, eyebrows slightly raised, making his expression not as gentle as usual.

Hearing everyone talking about him, he formally and gentlemanly restored his expression, giving the camera a gentle smile: "Questioning me about what?"
