I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 119: Trading Lunches

Guess the bullet screen? Fans’ faces are publicly shamed, and the surfing audience quickly calls out in panic, scrambling to change the bullet screen.

[Let me go delete it first... why can’t I delete it?!]

[So shocked my facial features swapped places; the phone bounced a few times in my hand before I caught it]

[Came so suddenly? The production team doesn’t need to go so far to benefit fans... What about those of us who screen-spam ghs?!]

[While you’re thinking about how to delete it, smart people have already started re-spamming the screen]

[Brother Cheng, you’re awesome, you’re handsome, you’re beautiful, you’re amazing!]

[Qi Feng, love you love you love you love you love you love you love you]

[Cheng Zhirang! Cheng Zhirang! Cheng Zhirang!]

[Shi Yuhuai! Shi Yuhuai! Shi Yuhuai!]

[Li Yang Li Yang Li Yang Li Yang Li Yang Li Yang, mama loves you!]

[Everyone suddenly becomes reserved and subtle, I’m a bit unaccustomed to it]

[So polite? Where did those women who say they want to marry and sleep in the same bed every night go]

[Brother, hold on, I’ve already gone to Baidu the Rainbow Fart]

[Recommended topic #How to subtly, seriously, and elegantly praise your significant other#]

[Ha! I just can’t wait to see which colored women get tweeted by the show creators]

[I am now offline, leaving only my soul]

[Hahahahaha my eyes are glowing with excitement in the dark, let me see which lucky one will be remembered by Brother Cheng]

[Can I code it? Mosaic me up nice and tight, and I’ll be fine]

[Draw me! Draw me! I can! All the bullet screens I posted are decent!]

This game was unexpected, the guests exchanged looks with the people on either side, then everyone nodded, indicating they roughly understood.

"Once clear, each group will choose one person for the first round."

The three teams huddled together to chatter and discuss.

Li Yang analyzed the possible bullet screen content, thinking Mu Qiu would be the safest bet to participate.

"If there are questions about the show’s plot, you’re the author, making things up would be more convincing."

Mu Qiu wore a confused face: "Make things up? It’s common knowledge that the production team is jealous of my talent and goes hard on my ideas, I couldn’t possibly get it right."

"Then, Lin Xixi?"

Lin Xixi smiled sweetly, but was straightforward in her refusal.

"I can’t. I’m a newcomer here, if asked about the plot, I’d draw a complete blank."

Mu Qiu signaled for a pause: "Why are you assuming it’s about the plot? Since fans are spamming bullet screens, most of it should be fans’ various screams and declarations to their idols. Li Yang, you’re suitable for this job."

"It’s as a hint-giver, right? What if it’s as an answerer? Plus, there’s another issue," Li Yang suddenly looked at Mu Qiu seriously, "In terms of fan quantity and enthusiasm, Brother Cheng’s fans appear way more frequently than mine."

After his well-reasoned analysis, Lin Xixi also turned to look at her.

Cheng Zhirang having more fans is one thing, but why look at her?

Mu Qiu had a bad premonition, leaning back to avoid their gazes.

"So? Are you planning to heavily bribe Brother Cheng?"

"No, since it’s about praising Brother Cheng, wouldn’t it be better if you go? You might not only fully restore it, but even creatively enhance it."

"......"

And so, Mu Qiu was unanimously voted in by her teammates as the participant for the first round.

All teams were ready, with the Blue Team having Mu Qiu, the Red Team Duan Pinyuan, and the Yellow Team Guan Yu as their first-round participants.

Whether they are hint-givers or answerers was to be decided by the director.

The director nodded and said, "The contestants have been chosen, now let us have our staff present you with a delayed lunch."

Everyone cheered.

The staff pushed the catering cart in from the entrance of Sunshine City, placing a large plate in front of each guest.

Mu Qiu turned and leaned on the back of her chair, her eyes following the staff’s movements as they served the dishes. In front of her was a serving of pumpkin mash, with a diverse array of vegetables on the side.

...It didn’t look appetizing at all.

Though she’s been dieting recently, not eating lavishly at all, this is just too plain and bland.

Others seemed to feel the same way, craning their necks to check out others’ dishes.

"The meals served now are in random order, they may not be to everyone’s liking. But you can exchange with each other as long as the other party agrees."

No one moved immediately, Guan Yu looked at the director with suspicion: "Is it really that simple? Just exchange freely?"

Shi Yuhuai slightly tilted his head back and voiced his quiet analysis: "Impossible. If there were no other conditions, the staff could serve based on individual preferences, without needing this complexity, wasting time and effort."

As soon as Guan Yu heard this, she realized it made total sense!

She immediately turned her head to glare at the director: "Right! It can’t be that simple! Is the meal even real food? Edible at all?"

Director: "Guests, please refrain from overthinking."

"Now everyone can exchange lunch. Exchanging lunch means exchanging each other’s backpacks, which also means exchanging each other’s expressions. During the game, we will ask the answering participants to maintain each other’s expressions, hint-givers and those not participating in each round don’t have to maintain them."

"So it’s like being pulled out for individual shaming from hiding among the crowd?" Guan Yu clicked her tongue at Li Yang, "Li Yang, better be careful, everyone will clearly see whether you’re smiling later."

Li Yang looked bewildered: "Why single me out? Sister Guan Yu, are you unhappy your punishment count was higher than mine earlier?"

"I just think your name sounds nice."

"......Is the bullet screen content starting now?"

"Letting you get used to it in advance, in case you come across your fans’ declarations of love, it could increase your accuracy."

"Thanks a lot, sister."

In between jokes, while the food was still warm, Mu Qiu scanned the row of people nearby, mainly checking the dishes on their plates.

In her mind, her first choice for an exchange was Guan Yu, second Lin Xixi, third Li Yang. Her idea was to consider if the dish suited her palate first, then whether the expression would be easy to manage.

In front of Guan Yu was a seafood fried rice served with baked prawns. Several people had already expressed a desire to exchange with her. Mu Qiu wasn’t fond of seafood, so she passed and turned to Lin Xixi.

In front of Lin Xixi was a bowl of wonton soup, quite a generous portion.

This was it, Mu Qiu thought.

She leaned forward a bit, looking sincerely at Lin Xixi: "Would you like to exchange with me?"

Lin Xixi glanced at her plate, "Why is yours so little?"

Mu Qiu paused, right, her pumpkin mash was so little, if she exchanged it with someone else, they wouldn’t have enough to eat, they surely wouldn’t agree, leaving her to go hungry.

Wait a minute.

There’s one person who might agree.

Mu Qiu straightened up, looking at Shu Ran across from her.

Shu Ran, gathering courage to negotiate an exchange with Shi Yuhuai, felt a sense of being targeted.
