I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 134: Jack of All Trades, Master of None
Everyone was laughing at Shi Yuhuai, except for Cheng Zhirang, who just stood there smiling, occasionally glancing at the top of that roller coaster.
Mu Qiu stole a glance at his profile and noticed, even though she didn’t want to disturb his picturesque moment of looking up at the scenery, she couldn’t help but call out to him.
"Brother Cheng? What are you looking at?"
Cheng Zhirang’s eyes, even from the side, were exceptionally beautiful; they blinked once as he lowered his head and smiled at the camera pushed towards him, saying, "I’m curious about how it feels at the highest point of the roller coaster."
Li Yang was about to speak, but Qi Feng beat him to it.
"Brother Cheng, have you never been on a roller coaster?"
Cheng Zhirang shook his head, "I went on a coaster when I was very young, but the facilities back then weren’t as advanced as they are now, so it wasn’t quite as terrifying."
"What about later? When I was seventeen or eighteen, I was crazy about activities with a bit of a thrill."
Cheng Zhirang: "I debuted when I was eighteen, and never came back to such places."
Qi Feng’s laughter froze for a moment. Obviously, there was nothing wrong with what was said, but upon thinking deeper, why could he freely visit these places at seventeen or eighteen? Because he wasn’t famous yet.
Guan Yu, who knew a bit more about this, with an expression like she had done her homework, immediately understood the deeper implication of Cheng Zhirang’s words.
"That’s true, Brother Cheng exploded with popularity after debuting at eighteen, he would attract crowds everywhere, so he really couldn’t come to amusement parks anymore... But today, the director has given you an opportunity, Brother Cheng, since you haven’t been up before, how about I give you this chance?"
"What are you thinking?" Mu Qiu’s gaze slowly moved to Guan Yu, "Everyone has to choose, and you’re in the same team, you all have to take the same ride."
Guan Yu was deflated: "......"
So painful, so uncomfortable, so hopeless.
Cheng Zhirang just watched them banter back and forth with a smile on his lips.
In the open space ahead, the staff had already laid out the options for the subjects.
Everyone put down their backpacks and went up to take a look, only to find there were several subjects with strange adjectives in front of them.
Mu Qiu browsed through them, "Wild Chinese, Violent Math, Rogue English... What is this stuff?"
The director raised the megaphone again with a smile: "Behind each subject corresponds to one of our game facilities and expressions."
The backpacks were voluntarily put down by everyone earlier, they had already played several rounds of games, some were tortured by certain expressions to the point of despair, putting down the backpacks for a re-selection was the best choice.
Facility corresponding to subjects? Why suddenly throw in the subjects?
With an author’s keen insight, Mu Qiu felt something was wrong here.
She pulled Li Yang and Lin Xixi beside her and quietly asked, "Before the show, did any interviews ask you which subject you were best at in middle school?"
Lin Xixi shook her head, while Li Yang looked puzzled, trying hard to recall.
"Let me think... maybe? But with so many interviews, I would have forgotten even if they asked."
"Forgot what?"
"Forgot what I answered."
"......." She was so exasperated she almost pointed at his head to give him a knock.
Mu Qiu gestured, and the three of them huddled together with their heads lowered, like chanting a slogan before a match, listening in on a whisper.
"I think the production team might have found out about everyone’s best subjects from one of those casual interviews or from your more famous interviews before. Then they match that subject with a special game facility. That way, they can precisely control which facility each of us goes on."
Li Yang’s expression changed dramatically, lowering his voice, "So cunning?"
"...That’s the adjective you used, not me."
Lin Xixi was still somewhat puzzled, "But why designate which one we play?"
"Perhaps the variety show effect is best when everyone plays the matched facility?"
"No way, right? I don’t recall mentioning my best middle school subject in any interviews."
"Not even in past interviews?"
"No."
Mu Qiu stood up straight again, their heads separated.
"Then this is weird, why suddenly use subjects to decide for no reason?"
With that, Li Yang and Lin Xixi also found it strange.
Guan Yu, who had been eavesdropping on them, leaned over, deliberately lowering her voice in a mysterious manner, "What are you guys talking about?"
Li Yang immediately blocked her, "Sister Guan Yu, it’s an internal team secret, not suitable to tell you."
Guan Yu clicked her tongue and pouted, "I heard everything, you think something’s fishy?"
Mu Qiu’s eyes shifted as she asked, "Sister Guan Yu, in the program group’s previous interviews, did they ask you about your best subjects in middle school?"
"Yes, they did."
Mu Qiu’s eyes lit up, "They really asked? What did you answer?"
Guan Yu sincerely replied, "I was bad at every subject, dumb at each one."
"......."
Guan Yu comforted her, "If you really think there’s something fishy, why not sneak a phone and ask your fans? They definitely know what subject their idol excels in; they might even know which Chapter they like."
"To go through the trouble of sneaking a phone, I might as well randomly pick the opposite."
After whispering for a while, everyone else had made their choices, and the director shouted loudly through the megaphone to urge them.
"Some guests, stop chatting all the time!"
Guan Yu turned her head, "Okay, we’re coming!"
Then continued chatting.
"What are you guys going to choose?"
Lin Xixi: "Chinese? I think choosing a subject might also mean we have to answer questions from that subject while on those facilities."
Mu Qiu paused, looked up at her, "...You actually have such brilliant ideas."
Exactly! It could just be that we have to answer subject questions!
She quickly realized, "No Physics, no Chemistry, no Biology, no Geography, no Politics, no Math."
Guan Yu: "Don’t worry, the rest have already been picked."
"!!!"
The Yellow Team and the Red Team had already made their choices while they were whispering together, Red Team picked Rogue English, Yellow Team picked Wild Chinese.
Facing Li Yang and Lin Xixi’s gaze, Mu Qiuxin gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and chose Wonderful Biology.
Perhaps she could explain it as a curiosity to see how biology could be wonderful?
In any case—
She sighed and said to Li Yang and Lin Xixi, "I’ll do my best to tackle the questions, back in the day, I could score perfectly in biology. If it doesn’t work out... I’ll go plead with the director."
"Actually, that’s not the most important thing," Li Yang said with a deep grievance, furrowing his brow, "The key is what our chosen expressions and facilities will be."
He wouldn’t mind sitting on a carousel seven or eight times.
Mu Qiu worried about this too.
The director collected each team’s chosen subjects, then asked them to choose two auxiliary subjects, which were for the choice of each person’s expressions.
Li Yang and Lin Xixi picked Distant Physics and Flowery Geography, respectively.
Then the staff distributed the bags accordingly to each person.
Mu Qiu flipped over the bag she received.
It was a Heart-Shaped Smile.
