I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 181: You and Brother Cheng... Hmm?

The news about Mu Qiu and Cheng Zhirang has been making waves online this week, and under the gossip about these two, the trivial matters between Mu Qiu and Li Yang seem completely insignificant.

Initially, people did not think there could be any connection between Mu Qiu and Cheng Zhirang. The two are too different, and no one considered such a possibility.

But after seeing Cheng Zhirang’s ambiguous Weibo content and the speculation from netizens about possible sparks from their frequent encounters due to a private incident, people thought maybe it wasn’t impossible.

So now the two subjects are here, just across an aisle, even engaging in occasional exchanges, and everyone can’t help but watch and listen.

Gossip flows in the blood of every resident.

Mu Qiu pretended not to notice the burning gazes and naturally took the box and put it back in her bag.

Then she didn’t engage further.

Cheng Zhirang did glance at her a few times. Her skill in avoiding suspicion was more practiced than his, despite him being a genuine entertainment industry personality, which left him a bit helpless.

The plane took off, and the cabin quieted down.

Li Yang seemed a bit tired and after greeting everyone, put on a mask and went to sleep. Shi Yuhuai quietly closed his eyes to rest, appearing softer than his usual aloofness.

Mu Qiu and Guan Yu were more energetic, while Shu Ran was resting beside them, so the two of them leaned close and whispered.

Guan Yu exaggerated her mouth movements: "Brother Huai is so cute, Yangyang is cute too, Brother Cheng is so handsome."

Mu Qiu whispered, speechless: "If lips aren’t enough, you can use sign language."

Indeed, the sound was too low, Guan Yu leaned out and got closer, glancing over Mu Qiu to look at Cheng Zhirang supporting his head with his hand, then asked her.

"You and Brother Cheng... hmm hmm hmm?"

Mu Qiu remained unchanged: "Hmm hmm hmm what do you mean? I don’t understand."

"This is no fun. Aren’t we the unbeatable duo anymore? Have you so quickly forgotten the joy we once had?"

"..."

She looked at Guan Yu speechlessly, and after a moment, made a gesture.

5G immersive surfing champion, impressive.

Guan Yu, unable to gather any information, sat back down disappointedly. They quieted down, and only the sound of the airplane engines were heard in the cabin.

After a period of stable flight, everyone closed their eyes to rest.

It was very quiet, Mu Qiu slightly turned her head, looking at Cheng Zhirang resting with his eyes closed next to her,

his profile pleasing, with soft lips and a high nose bridge...

Her gaze moved above the nose bridge, meeting Cheng Zhirang’s just-opened eyes.

Their eye contact was silent, not needing words or other body language, just watching each other, occasionally fluttering lashes, with some ambiguous feelings slowly brewing.

Even a gentle person’s eyes revealed tenderness.

Cheng Zhirang made a mouth shape towards her.

Sleep.

Mu Qiu nestled in her seat, facing his direction, slowly blinking under his gaze, once, twice, then closed her eyes.

The quietness deepened.

The flight from Hai City to Willow Leaf City takes three hours, and it was not until seven in the evening that the plane landed at Willow Leaf City Airport.

Mu Qiu rested for two hours on the plane, feeling a bit soft-boned, and after disembarking with a shoulder bag, she stood at the airport, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath of fresh air.

Willow Leaf City is a tourist city, with a forest coverage rate nearly twice that of developed cities like Hai City, attracting many tourists for vacations in the spring, summer, and autumn.

The air here is rich in oxygen, making deep breaths feel comfortable and refreshing.

Li Yang woke up and got off, stretching lazily and breathing deeply, feeling refreshed: "The air is so clean!"

Dragging her luggage off, Guan Yu sat on it and scooted forward, saying: "Is the program team letting us rejuvenate on company expenses?"

The passing director carrying equipment responded with, "Don’t overthink things."

"..."

Li Yang laughed heartily.

Mu Qiu, eating a biscuit, looked around.

Surrounded by high mountains and green forests extending endlessly, with few tall buildings in sight, indeed a place for tourism and vacation.

Once everyone was off, they boarded a bus marked with the program team’s logo heading to the hotel.

The main attraction in Willow Leaf City is the ancient city ruins inside, with brick and wood structures covering a large area, just where this episode is filmed.

On the bus, the accompanying director announced the location and asked the videographer to set up several cameras aimed at them.

"Now we’re going to record a pre-program interview segment, mainly discussing what kind of identity fans might fabricate for us. First, everyone needs to hand over their phones."

"Ah?"

"Ha?! Why?"

"We won’t look at them, can’t we not hand them over?"

Guan Yu and Li Yang pleaded from their seats.

The accompanying director, a woman, heard them and responded with a standard polite smile, "So do we solve problems by consuming trust with each other?"

"... How do you know we’re consuming trust? We truly wouldn’t look!"

"I also really want to believe you, come, staff, help collect everyone’s phones."

Everyone’s phones were mercilessly collected, and after collecting them, the staff member returned next to Mu Qiu’s seat, eyeing the gray tablet pressed beneath her bag and thigh.

Mu Qiu calmly shifted inward, wary of him, "May I ask what’s the matter?"

"Your tab..."

"Without network, this can’t be used either, can it stay?" Cheng Zhirang suddenly interjected, smiling, asking the staff coveting the tablet.

Everyone looked over, their exchange of glances ambiguous.

The staff, seeing Cheng Zhirang’s gentle smile, was already somewhat muddled, then wildly thinking, if the tablet doesn’t have wireless network, it indeed can’t be used.

So it’s okay to leave it, right?

Thus the tablet was left behind.

Guan Yu looked around Mu Qiu and Cheng Zhirang, then prepared to call out to the staff, "Hey, this..."

"Sister Guan Yu, think, the only electronic device we have now is just this, think carefully before speaking."

The words were hastily spoken without pause.

Guan Yu thought, it made sense.

The staff turning back, Guan Yu waved her hand hurriedly, "It’s okay, I just wanted to compliment you on today’s makeup looking especially good."

Staff: "......" Are you sick?

The accompanying director, as if not seeing it, tacitly allowed the tablet to remain.

"Now let’s start chatting individually, um... Brother Huai will start."

Having just obediently handed over his phone, Shi Yuhuai was suddenly called upon, lifting his head bewilderedly.

"...Me?"

Guan Yu loudly: "Yes! Start with you! Brother Huai, go for it!"

Shi Yuhuai furrowed his brows tightly, thinking repeatedly, finally simply saying, "Model." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"......That’s it?"

Those who weren’t nearby didn’t hear clearly, asking again, "Brother Huai, what did you say?"

"Model," he paused, adding a condition, "male."
