I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 166: You’re Crazy, and So Am I

"As you wished before, I told you already. I’m thirty years old. Dating isn’t just about satisfying a girl’s admiration for celebrities, but truly developing this relationship."

Cheng Zhirang spoke softly beside her ear, his palm pressed against her shoulder blade, the warmth passed through the fabric to her body, making her tense up.

"Any regrets?" he asked.

Mu Qiu buried herself in his arms, rubbed against his clothes, and shook her head.

"It’s just the start; even if I regret, it shouldn’t be this quick." She mumbled quietly.

Cheng Zhirang laughed, his chest vibrating, making the tips of her ears feel all tingly and numb.

"Stop laughing, Brother Cheng."

"Hmm? Why?" He indeed stopped laughing but seemed puzzled; suddenly being told to stop laughing—could it be that his laughter is unpleasant?

"You’re too close, and your laughter sounds too nice."

It’s easy to foster wicked thoughts.

Cheng Zhirang froze for a moment, then laughed heartily.

——

In the studio.

Assistant Wen was quietly counting.

"Eight, nine, ten..."

Chen Song had already walked back and forth ten times here in her sky-high heels, arms crossed, frowning, not looking pleased.

There indeed were quite a few issues today, especially the troublesome matter of the fanatic breaking into Mu Qiu’s home and getting beaten.

But in Assistant Wen’s view, it shouldn’t be too difficult for Chen Song, not enough to make her appear "fiery and ferocious."

He surfed the web enough, raised his head to ask tentatively.

"Sister Chen, why not sit down and take a break? Brother Cheng hasn’t arrived yet."

"Do I have the mind to sit down and rest?! Only you can sit down and rest! Don’t you know how serious this matter is!"

Assistant Wen was startled, "Really, is it that serious?"

But that fanatic has already been dealt with, pulling out the minor detail will get her detained, and the shame among her peers scared her into compliance, not to mention other tricks up their sleeve.

However, he thought perhaps half the intimidation comes from Mu Qiu, who angrily beat up the girl—it’s truly unexpected how a seemingly quiet, professionally quiet girl could grab another girl’s hair and slam her against the wall.

Back to the point, he felt this matter shouldn’t provoke such a huge reaction from Chen Song, unless there’s something else. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

But what else could there be? The rumor about Brother Cheng secretly marrying and having kids is clearly false, someone just wants to mess with their studio.

Couldn’t be... are there capitalists involved?

Assistant Wen furrowed his brows too, sat upright in alarm, "Sister Chen, can we not counter this? Surely not many investors would want to stand against Brother Cheng now? Brother Cheng isn’t a newcomer fresh on the scene."

Chen Song stopped in front of him, lowering her eyes to look at him.

See, another poor soul led astray.

Assistant Wen was startled by her cold smile.

How long since he last saw Chen Song’s cold smile? The last time was when he first joined the studio.

So, it seems really troublesome now!

When Cheng Zhirang arrived at the studio, there were already two people anxiously pacing back and forth in the meeting room, arms crossed, frowning with unpleasant expressions.

He made a shushing gesture at the staff outside who were about to scream in excitement and smiled slightly at their obedient nods covering their mouths.

Then he entered the meeting room, closing the door behind.

"Brother Cheng, you finally came!"

"You’re finally back."

Cheng Zhirang remained smiling gently and sat in one of the boss chairs, gesturing for the two to sit, "Calm down, sit first."

The two sat down.

Chen Song leaned forward, clearly in a questioning posture.

"Is the person delivered? How exactly are you going to solve this? Are you really prepared?"

These questions confused Assistant Wen, who turned to look at Cheng Zhirang.

Cheng Zhirang nodded, "I don’t do anything without thinking it through."

"I used to believe that. Do you both understand each other? Understand the current situation? Know what consequences your choice will bring?"

One sentence came faster than the last, Cheng Zhirang showed no reaction, but Assistant Wen was utterly bewildered.

What, what choice, what each other???

He stared blankly at Chen Song, then quickly turned to Cheng Zhirang, hoping for more precise information.

"I understand the current situation, know what results my choice will lead to. As for understanding each other, if every relationship’s beginning required fully understanding both parties’ compatibility, 90% of love would never start."

Assistant Wen: !!!

What love and what beginning?!

He looked left and right frantically, his head started shaking, his eyes full of disbelief.

Then he abruptly stood up, the chair’s legs squealed as they scraped against the floor, making an ear-piercing sound.

The noise was a bit out of place, drawing Chen Song and Cheng Zhirang’s gaze to him.

Cheng Zhirang tilted his head asking, "What’s wrong?"

Chen Song frowned with a stern face, "What are you doing?"

Assistant Wen felt his voice trembling, "Brother Cheng... Brother Cheng’s relationship? With whom?"

——

Assistant Wen was about to lose it.

He sat at his work station holding his head, unable to comprehend the news he just heard.

Within the twenty minutes in that room, Cheng Zhirang and Mu Qiu ended up together.

How did Brother Cheng end up with Mu Qiu?! How did Brother Cheng end up in a relationship?! How did it turn from soothing ordinary fans to a sacrifice?!!!

Just two hours! Was that a spider’s den?!

He knew! He knew curiosity is the start of danger!

The curiosity about the author’s profession ultimately turned into curiosity about the author himself, didn’t it?! Adding such a long note could move people; he no longer trusts Cheng Zhirang’s notes!

When Cheng Zhirang and Chen Song finished discussing matters and exited the meeting room, they saw Assistant Wen staring blankly at his computer.

The screen happened to show the comments under his Weibo.

He pulled down his mask, looked at the screen from behind Assistant Wen.

[Cheng Zhirang V: Watching everyone’s edited video, have I seen her many times? / Brother Cheng pondering.jpg]

[No no no no no no no no! They’ve edited it blindly!]

[Brother Cheng, stay calm! You haven’t! Don’t believe the bullshit those idiots are saying!]

[If Brother Cheng truly has this thought, every marketing account is responsible]

[So, is there really a feeling? Brother, do you like this kind of girl?]

[Brother: Secret marriage and child? No, might have some other things]

[No way, no way, no way?! A fake news triggered your feeling for the girl?]

[????? Brother, did you not notice you’ve seen her many times?]

[Initially, Brother Cheng was unaware of all this, those damned idiots exposed it, now the real feelings arise!]

[Brother, isn’t Mu Qiu somewhat unmatched in age?]

[Yes, Brother Cheng, we want someone accompanying you, the age gap too big, it’s all you taking care of her]

[I feel anxious, unsure whether to be happy or disappointed]

Last night’s update, seeing people say Brother Cheng and Qiuqiu got together too quickly... You all are such elusive sea-bottom needles; earlier you urged for sugar, now sugar’s here you think it’s too fast...

Let me explain; the reason Qiuqiu invited Brother Cheng to date at this time was merely boldly expressing her thoughts, without confirming (or even considering) that Brother Cheng would agree. And why did Brother Cheng go along with it? Because as I’ve written many times before, curiosity about someone is the beginning of feelings. The old man is just moved.

As for whether Chen Song, this agent, is competent, surely she is; otherwise, Brother Cheng wouldn’t have worked with her so many years. However, she’s encountered some recent problems; remember at the very start, there was mention of Chen Song’s divorce, Chengcheng’s origin? She’s the one bringing the melodrama.
