I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 131: I’m Going Down with the Director
In the moment when her expression was about to lose control, Mu Qiu figured it out too.
After all, the first time she saw Guan Yu in the pilot episode, Guan Yu’s self-introduction made her pause for a moment.
At that time, she even thought of a trending headline—The contemporary bearded man returns to the scene, venturing into the entertainment industry, where will he go?
Thinking of this, Mu Qiu’s eyes curved with amusement, covering her mouth to hold back laughter.
"Sister Guan Yu, you guess first?"
Guan Yu rolled her eyes, sitting as if in a battle stance, barely balanced on the edge of the chair, hands resting on knees, body leaning forward, eyes fixed ahead.
"Is Guan Yu’s name Guan Yu or Guan Yu?"
Shi Yuhuai’s expression was calm: "Not right yet."
"...Not right yet!?" Guan Yu was about to jump up, "Even after exposing so much, it’s still not right!? Just come up and kill me! Anyway, I don’t want to live anymore and am ready to take the director down with me!"
The others burst out laughing.
"Hahahahahahahahaha you’re so funny, Guan Yu!"
"I support you, Sister Guan Yu. You charge, and I’ll cover you!"
"Brother Huai looks so reluctant to cooperate with your performance! Hahahahahaha!"
"You two meeting is just too hilarious!"
Mu Qiu also laughed, but with a side-eye that almost made her eyes cramp. After laughing enough, she answered while Guan Yu was sulking.
"Let me revise it. Guan Yu’s name is Guan Yu, not Guan Yu, don’t get it wrong?"
Shi Yuhuai shook his head and said very rigorously: "The tone should be more severe, and that sentence should come last."
"You are not allowed to get it wrong again. Her name is Guan Yu, not Guan Yu?"
"Still needs revising."
"You must not get it wrong again! Her name is Guan Yu, not Guan Yu!"
"Add that idiom from before."
"You must not get it wrong again! Her name is Guan Yu, not Guan Yu, she... she didn’t have a brotherhood in the Peach Garden?"
Shi Yuhuai nodded, "Very close, but needs to be more severe."
His words were affirmative, but his expression was very calm. After all, it wasn’t his team competing for first or second place. Whether they guessed it right or wrong, he was indifferent.
More severe? How exaggerated does this fan have to be?
Mu Qiu bowed her head in thought, and suddenly next to her, Guan Yu, who was watching while being angry, had a light bulb moment.
"I know now!"
"I’ll say it again! This is Guan Yu, not Guan Yu! She didn’t have a brotherhood in the Peach Garden!"
"Change the very first sentence, and one word needs to be repeated twice more."
This hint almost indicated that the next sentence would be the correct answer, and it was just a matter of who could get there first to say it.
Guan Yu and Mu Qiu locked eyes again, then Guan Yu, just barely audible faster than Mu Qiu, got it out first.
"Let me repeat, repeat, repeat once more! This is Guan Yu, not Guan Yu! She didn’t have a brotherhood in the Peach Garden!"
"Correct answer."
Guan Yu narrowly won, with Mu Qiu falling behind by a small margin and regretfully exiting.
Guan Yu turned to look at the big screen behind her, shaking her head and saying affectionately into the camera: "Thank you to my fans for tirelessly explaining that I didn’t have a brotherhood in the Peach Garden. I hope after this episode airs, everyone can know that my name is Guan Yu, not Guan Yu. Please make sure to add this sentence when using screenshots as emojis, okay?"
[Alright, I’m screenshotting immediately]
[The person who asked you to write that sentence, they didn’t ask you to screenshot emojis... I’ll screenshot now]
[I remember, it’s Guan Shu, right]
[Mu Qiu was just one second late! Just a little bit more!]
[Good thing Guan Yu won, or she would’ve been teetering on the edge of life and death, and without her, there’d definitely be a lot less fun]
[To the person earlier, she’s Guan Yu... no, Guan Yu! Not Guan Shu! I’m done, these two names are too similar, I’m getting confused too]
[Hahahahaha I saw this topic climbed up the trending list! #IsGuanYuNotGuanYu#]
[Now do you understand why we Yu-mojis work so hard every day? We’re promoting Chinese character culture]
[Brother Huai really has that feel of supervising two failing students taking a test]
[I’ve already noted down the story Mu Qiu casually made up, Mu Qiu if you don’t write this in your next book, you’re a liar!]
[Four months ago she promised us she’d write a food-themed article, this is going to be queued for the next two or three years]
[Nonsense, she clearly said half a year ago she’d write sci-fi!]
[Stop fighting.jpg]
[Go fight in the dance room, righthhhccc!]
[Back then in an interview, Guan Yu also said it was her uncle who insisted on this name because he thought it was nice, for this uncle’s prank, we fans have really worn ourselves out]
[Guan Yu finally gets a chance to win a prize. I’ve been on edge the whole time watching her expressions, just afraid she’d lose it and squander her last chance]
[Is everyone just numb to being roasted? Even Guan Yu’s not shaken by it]
[I’ve been waiting for Mu Qiu to get roasted, but when’s it coming (not looking for trouble, don’t bother me)]
[This game seems really cool, my friends and I are already planning to include it in our team-building activities!]
[Looking forward to the next game]
The extra contest ended, and everyone returned to their seats. The director announced the final result.
"Through the competition in the extra contest, Guan Yu scored one point for the Yellow Team. The Yellow Team achieved the highest score and gets a prize draw opportunity. Yellow Team members, please come up to draw a prize."
The prize drawer for the Yellow Team was Guan Yu, because throughout the scene, only she had such a short lifespan. Drawing something good or bad would be on her.
Guan Yu rubbed her hands and approached the prize box, closing her eyes as if making a wish, taking two deep breaths, then carefully reached into the prize box to stir it around, pulling out a crystal ball.
"Twice... well, twice is pretty good."
She pocketed the crystal ball and ran back, only to be called back by the director.
"After taking your chance, are you going to sneak away with the program props?"
"...I’ll give it back!"
Guan Yu gained health points twice and became... still the worst in the scene. This wasn’t really surprising; given her consistently short luck, Cheng Zhirang being punished for the first time in this game was more of a surprise.
The third game ended like this, with a little remaining wrap-up time handed over for everyone to rest and have something to eat. The director had staff bring more food and drinks to ensure the late lunch satisfied everyone.
After eating, the director announced to head to the fourth game’s location.
Full and satisfied, Mu Qiu got up to follow the group outside. Since they had just eaten, everyone was a bit lazy, gathering to chat quietly about the funny moments just now, completely missing the subtle expression on the director’s face behind them.
A certain camera caught a glimpse of it.
[Wocccc, the director’s dangerous smile]
[He’s the villain of this show]
[The next game is definitely going to be sinister, just when I was wondering how long this endless scoring could go on. Seeing that expression, I guess someone’s score will reset in the next round]
[Of all the food on the twin tables, only the items in front of Mu Qiu are completely finished... ]
[???? Now that someone mentioned it, I see it too; Mu Qiu and Guan Yu really aren’t afraid of gaining weight from eating too much, their plates are squeaky clean]
[I even think Mu Qiu looks a bit thinner, despite this big appetite, she’s thinner... I must be going mad]
