I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 133: I! Want! To! Quit!

The venue for the third game was reached after a twenty-minute ride on the sightseeing car, at the farthest point directly in front of Little Paradise’s gates, the place Mu Qiu had seen with the Ferris wheel.

It’s a one-to-one replica of an amusement park. Looking up, you see the roller coaster tracks, with people seated and their screams piercing the air, startling everyone.

As soon as the sightseeing car parked, Guan Yu and Li Yang jumped off and ran back.

"I’m quitting this game! I want to go back!"

"I’m not playing this! It’s too scary!"

Mu Qiu was much more rational than them. She figured she couldn’t outrun it, so she tried to negotiate with the driver about returning the same way, saying she’d cover the fare.

The driver cheerfully refused her.

Lin Xixi was the only one on their car who seemed somewhat normal. At this moment, she was sitting properly with a grim expression. Her sweet dimples were nowhere to be found.

After failing to negotiate with the driver, Mu Qiu turned around and saw her like this, looked her up and down, and asked:

"You don’t look scared, why aren’t you getting off?"

Lin Xixi: "I’m just calming down."

"..." So she was scared after all.

After being urged repeatedly by the director, everyone reluctantly got off the car.

Looking up and around, all they could see were the roller coaster tracks and the paths of the "Daring Adventures," with the coaster whizzing by on the tracks, screams continuous. Over there, there were also swing rides, pirate ships, and drop towers...

Mu Qiu comforted the terrified Li Yang and, at the same time, reassured herself, "It’s okay, what if the production team just wants to scare us and then make us ride the carousel?"

Li Yang: "Really?"

"Of course... not very likely."

Li Yang squatted down, holding his head: "I’m not really scared, but the roller coaster is terrifying! What if after one ride, poof, my head is gone?!"

Mu Qiu: "Can’t be that terrifying, right? Could a roller coaster be scarier than a drop tower?"

"Dro... drop what tower?!"

"You don’t think we’ll have to ride a drop tower too, do you?!" Guan Yu leaped on the spot, "I’ll be gone as soon as I get off! I’ll be gone!"

"Look next to you, someone’s almost gone already."

Shu Ran, along with the tall Shi Yuhuai, stood still with serious expressions. After numerous pleas from the staff, they finally disembarked but remained tightly next to the car, not shouting, but visibly on the verge of collapse.

Seeing someone more scared than oneself roughly translates to not fearing anything anymore.

Li Yang, still squatting, looked up at Shi Yuhuai and asked, "Brother Huai, have you ever ridden these?"

Shi Yuhuai shook his head stiffly: "Why would I want to ride this?"

"Because... for a living?"

"My livelihood doesn’t involve this."

"I meant right now, for a living."

Shi Yuhuai: "..."

"This game will also have hints for different options, right? You can not participate and just assist others, right?"

Li Yang looked at the tall man full of hope, unable to tell him it was almost impossible.

The relatively normal ones left, who just sighed with no other reaction, were Duan Pinyuan, Qi Feng, and Cheng Zhirang. The first two maintained a knowing smile of "been there, done that," while the last one was curiously looking up at the highest point of the roller coaster.

Suddenly, Shu Ran, who was about to turn into a stone sculpture, pointed ahead and said, "Those people just got off."

Everyone looked over, and the group who had been screaming on the roller coaster just finished and were supporting each other as they shuffled out, hunched over.

Someone went straight for the trash can.

"... Too scary, I’m not going! Over my dead body, I’m not going!"

Guan Yu did a 180-degree sprint and was about to sprint out of the area, only to be stopped at the entrance by the crew.

The director switched to a loudspeaker and said to them, "Didn’t everyone agree to find the fun in this Little Paradise trip?"

Guan Yu: "We said fun, this is not fun, it’s killing me!"

Li Yang: The sentence feels oddly familiar.

The director and the staff behind him all burst out laughing.

"Alright, everyone stand still, we’re announcing the rules for the fourth game."

The nine of them slowly stood in place, grabbed their backpacks, and lined up together.

Director: "This is today’s fourth game, Sharing Joy and Suffering. The rules are: each team member selects a game project through a multiple-choice question, completes the designated task, and of course, you’ll need to perform facial expressions during the process, and the punishment props will be ’always’ watching you."

When saying that double negative sentence, the camera humorously panned across all the guests, as if the director was pointing at them with a mysterious smile.

After finishing the rules, before the guests could express their reluctance, the director glanced at the computer that had been placed to the side and continued:

"Just now, fans asked in the comments if today’s unlimited scoring games really allow you to keep playing endlessly. Of course... not, we have set up many games for you to continually score, just like setting a goal to be in the top three in the class for students with unstable grades, it’s a peak, and how far you can go depends on how well you maintain your expressions and cherish your penalty opportunities. A spoiler, there are really many more fun games waiting for you later."

Guan Yu: "Thank you, no need, if this fun is similar to the current game, I refuse with my life."

Shu Ran: "Oh... should’ve chosen the old game!"

The white lotus quotes are here again, Mu Qiu watched with amusement.

This kind of hindsight opinion is actually a bit awkward to voice in a team.

So the real Shu Ran is also someone who often says these things?

After uttering this, Shu Ran felt it wasn’t quite right.

Her persona had been established for so long that even if she intended to change, she would still inadvertently say some habitual things.

Upon reflection, there are moments when thoughts slip out uncontrollably.

Attempting to correct after speaking only made it more noticeable to the audience.

She panicked a little inside but maintained a facade of calmness. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Next to her, Shi Yuhuai suddenly turned and asked her seriously, with a hint of disappointment: "Then why didn’t you suggest it earlier?"

His slightly serious straightforward comment embarrassed Shu Ran more, giving a strained smile as she looked up at him: "Maybe because cement was plastered over my mouth and brain at the time?"

"Alright then." If cement covers the mouth, it’s indeed hard to speak.

Unable to hold back, Mu Qiu chuckled, causing everyone to look at her.

Mu Qiu touched her nose, her smile widening: "Brother Huai, were you waiting for Sister Shu Ran’s suggestion so you could second it? I thought you were someone who enjoys pioneering new games."

Shi Yuhuai: "I’m not, I don’t want to pioneer new games at all."

The realization, prompted by Mu Qiu’s words, dawned on Shu Ran that Shi Yuhuai’s earlier comment wasn’t meant to mock her but was honestly and sincerely asked.
