I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 105: Here He Comes, Riding a Bicycle
"Questioning your handsomeness!"
Mu Qiu focused on her own thoughts: "I never said that."
Regardless of what was said, Brother Cheng was just used as entertainment, his eyebrows raised slightly, displaying an innocent expression.
"Do I not look good?"
With a handsome face right in front of you, eyes shining bright, looking like they hold your reflection, an innocent gentle expression like that, who could calmly say it doesn’t look good?
Brother Cheng, you are absolutely the best-looking guy!
Mu Qiu avoided those beautiful eyes, instinctively swallowing, "There’s no way, Brother Cheng, you are the most handsome! The best-looking! With the best body!"
Every word came from the heart, sincere and honest, with unquestionable authenticity.
Guan Yu waved to stop her from over-praising, "Enough, as competitors, one compliment is enough, you’re going overboard, have you considered our Yangyang’s feelings?"
Li Yang: "No need to consider me, I’m temporarily deafened."
Guan Yu was choked, throwing a look of silent reproach at Li Yang.
"Alright, Yellow Team, go draw," Shu Ran found her role and stood up to cue the process, "This rule is really ruthless, losing means losing a chance, chances get fewer, and winners retain theirs and can even gain, director, are you really not planning to give a consolation prize to those of us facing inhuman punishment?"
She was prepared to close her eyes and protect herself, still got scared and almost got sent two centimeters sky-high by the ejecting gas.
This punishment tool is frickin’... epic.
The director seriously considered her suggestion, paused with the loudspeaker, and then said: "Don’t even think about it."
Shu Ran rolled her eyes for the first time since the show started.
Yellow Team, as the only team barely maintaining human-like expressions, has a chance to draw for a punishment count for oneself or a teammate. Brother Cheng gentlemanly gave this chance to Guan Yu, who, understanding the show’s meaning, passed it with a smile to guest Qi Feng.
Qi Feng’s expression was suddenly "overwhelmed" and "unbelieving to embarrassed," while bowing to say thank you and walking out, his actions humble and polite, standing beside the raffle box brought by the production team.
"Inside this raffle box are crystal balls with numbers, marked with ’once,’ ’twice,’ ’three times,’ the number drawn increases one’s chance to punish. Decide before drawing, use it personally or gift it to a specific teammate."
Qi Feng seemed a bit tense, looking bewildered back at Guan Yu and Brother Cheng.
"Brother Cheng, Sister Guan Yu, how should I..."
He left half of his sentence, showing an appropriately troubled expression, leaving the rest to be filled in by the listener.
Guan Yu laughed twice, turned to Brother Cheng and asked: "Brother Cheng, do you want an extra chance?"
Brother Cheng shook his head, Guan Yu understood, told Qi Feng: "Use it for yourself, we don’t need it right now."
Finally certain, Qi Feng nodded and took a deep breath, "I’ll use it for myself then."
Saying this, he reached into the raffle box hole with his eyes closed, feeling around for a while, and pulled out a crystal ball.
"Twice."
Yellow Team was overjoyed.
On the other side, the Red Team, with two members subjected to the inhuman punishment, had a strange conversation.
Having watched Qi Feng’s whole performance, Shu Ran felt inexplicably awkward and a little familiar.
She stood within the team, with Shi Yuhuai to her right. Despite the unwillingness to converse, some thoughts couldn’t be held back, yet couldn’t be said directly, thus leading to communication with him.
Additionally, communicating could break rumors of their discord.
"Brother Huai," she approached slightly, whispering: "Doesn’t Qi Feng resemble someone, somehow familiar?"
Shi Yuhuai lowered his head to look at her strangely, "Doesn’t resemble anyone."
"Really resembles someone," she frowned delicately, pondering again, "Behaviors and expressions are a bit alike. Yet, I can’t remember whom exactly."
After hearing this, Shi Yuhuai seriously observed Qi Feng’s actions and expressions, reaching a conclusion: "Resembles you."
Shu Ran: "......"
She was referring to that kind of odd vibe when talking behind someone’s back!
Headache, Shu Ran closed her eyes and pressed her temples, signaling she didn’t want to talk any longer.
Misinterpreting that as disagreement or lack of understanding, Shi Yuhuai recalled again seriously and emphasized: "Certainly resembles you."
Shu Ran looked at him, unable to maintain even a fake smile, "Alright, I understand."
Can we please stop speaking?
After a brief and speechless exchange, they returned to the atmosphere of "we’ve argued before, can’t possibly get along; if we do, it’s fake."
Meanwhile, Qi Feng, having drawn the crystal ball and returned to Yellow Team, appeared excited and pleasantly surprised, causing Shu Ran to sneak a glance.
...Perhaps there is some resemblance?
——
With the end of the first round, Cheng Zhirang’s comforting words and Guan Yu’s self-amusement encouragement got everyone back to normal before the director announced the location for the second round.
"Oh!" everyone chimed, following staff ahead and a cameraman out. At this moment, the camera wasn’t constantly trained on the guests, allowing Mu Qiu to relax and look around.
Then spotted a face, oddly doubting life’s reflection.
Li Yang and Lin Xixi walked beside her, noting her fixed gaze to the left, asked curiously.
"Mu Qiu, what are you looking at?"
Mu Qiu turned, seamlessly changed expressions: "Watching the smoke rise from your prop."
Li Yang: "...... Such dialogue is slightly less engaging."
Unable to help laughing, Lin Xixi’s dimples were sweet and charming by the corner of her mouth, "Li Yang, how did that smoke feel when it sprayed? You’ve been sprayed twice, so here’s some deeper insight?"
Heart haunted, touching the waist prop, Li Yang recounted, "It’s like you’re nearly sent sky-high. You know the feeling just before a free fall ride?"
"Never experienced it, don’t quite understand."
"Can I dismantle this lousy prop?"
"You do it quietly, I promise not to tell the director."
"If you lower your voice, I’ll trust you."
Having faced all sorts of challenges together, team morale soared; Mu Qiu remained chatty along the way, sometimes speaking with Li Yang and Lin Xixi, or Guan Yu next to her, even occasionally Shu Ran chimed in.
It seemed everyone selectively forgot about Shu Ran’s rampant rumors, Shi Yuhuai’s and Mu Qiu’s discord, and Shu Ran’s Changhui Entertainment job change. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
They chatted, laughed, either superficially or genuinely while others curiously observed them.
Some felt personal misalignment meant personal fault, while others naturally felt extraneous to their worldview.
The director didn’t disclose the next task location, so they followed guided staff forward, looping around the hotel building, board an open-top tour car from the rear door, arriving at the destination ten minutes later.
Clear and vast, seemingly boundless —
Swimming pool!!!
