I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 190: Do You Think This Is a Love Across Time and Space?
Li Yang was rendered speechless.
Shu Ran chuckled along for a moment, then began her social representative duties.
"Mu Qiu, your outfit is really nice, and your makeup is gorgeous."
"Brother Cheng, could you be some kind of nobleman? You look too dashing in that outfit."
"Guan Yu, you... are actually quite cute."
Guan Yu: "You don’t have to force yourself, it’s just that tears aren’t worth much, I’ll manage to keep going."
Mu Qiu pressed her tongue against her cheek, easing the muscle soreness from laughing, while she observed Shu Ran.
She was wearing a dark green qipao embroidered with subtle patterns, her hair was styled into big wavy curls, she wore black high heels, a bracelet of agate beads on her wrist, and lightly fanned herself with a round fan.
She looked like, a charming socialite on the political scene, and she really fitted this vibe.
With this thought in mind, Shu Ran turned her head to look at her and praised her again.
"Mu Qiu, you really suit this kind of clothing and makeup, like a Female Knight when not smiling, your eye makeup looks amazing. Don’t you think so?"
She turned her head smilingly to look at everyone else, as if she purely wanted to get everyone’s unanimous approval.
Both Guan Yu and Li Yang nodded, indicating she indeed looked great, then they waited silently for the most important person to speak.
Cheng Zhirang nodded slightly, smiling at Mu Qiu: "It’s indeed fitting and beautiful."
Mu Qiu’s eyes curved into a smile: "Thank you, Brother Cheng, for the compliment. Brother Cheng, you look super, super, super handsome today."
"Really?"
"Of course, didn’t Sister Guan Yu just almost faint from your handsomeness?"
They were naturally conversing, the atmosphere seemed nice, and the camera zoomed in on them.
[It seems like their relationship is doing okay]
[Fortunately, it didn’t get awkward]
[The fact they can still talk means this episode should be good to watch]
[Still feels a bit odd, is the conversation too deliberate?]
[It’s already pretty good, I thought Mu Qiu would remain silent this episode]
[Their relationship seems to have gotten better... maybe there’s a spark happening]
[Brother Cheng’s eyes, looking at both men and women, give a sense of gentleness and deep affection, I can’t even tell if the affection is real anymore]
[Honestly, Mu Qiu’s outfit does look really good]
[Shu Ran: We’re all here, how about getting to know each other... These two really seem like they’re being introduced by elders for matchmaking!]
[Mutual flattery, I get it]
[So it’s Shu Ran who handles the niceties]
[You guys observe so closely, I’m still lost in Guan Yu and Li Yang’s burst of laughter]
[This wasn’t the fault of the two involved, it was awkwardly caused by those nutjobs’ actions and the damn marketing accounts’ leaks, really infuriating]
[Our Qiuqiu is also a stunning Female Knight! This makeup, this slim waist, love it, love it]
[The camera even gave a close-up, is the crew trying to show the two weren’t affected?]
[Trying to let those troublemakers know we aren’t affected, hop around all you want]
[Shu Ran looks amazing in a qipao, her figure proves that she’s the type of actress who eats only a little greens and soup every meal]
[When I wear a qipao, it looks like I’ve got a tumor in my stomach area]
[If I had that figure, I’d install mirrors all around my bathroom to admire myself every day]
[...]
When the camera zoomed in, Mu Qiu got a little nervous, praised Cheng Zhirang a couple of times, then changed the topic, "Hey, why hasn’t Brother Huai come out yet?"
Cheng Zhirang smiled and shifted his gaze towards the door, saying, "Probably his costume and makeup are a bit complex."
Guan Yu sighed, "If it’s complex, is it a period costume???"
"Wow, Brother Huai in period costume? That last period costume in the second episode looked really good." Shu Ran mentioned.
The only one at the scene not too excited was holding their chin in envy, feigning sorrow.
"So am I really the one with the most eye-offending look?"
Guan Yu: "Undoubtedly, you are."
He sighed quietly, "I want to go home, I need to block them."
Guan Yu: "Don’t worry, Yangyang, we still remember your handsome imagery in our hearts. Besides, maybe? Maybe Brother Huai spent all this time on ugly makeup?"
Mu Qiu exclaimed, "Makes sense, Li Yang. Compared to elaborately prepared ugly makeup and your casually crafted look, I think you might still have an edge."
Cheng Zhirang even nodded: "They’re not wrong, maybe."
Their sincerely honest words sparked a bit of hope within Li Yang.
"Really? Brother Huai might also turn out like that? Are his fans that cruel too?"
"All I can say is, maybe?"
[Don’t attach yourself to this issue, our Lian Yi isn’t cruel of heart!]
[As a fellow Lian Yi, I just liked a comment at 5:30 this morning, still anxious, are you all this nonchalant?]
[Lian Yi: No cruelty in my heart, but typing hands are brutal]
With renewed hope, Li Yang eagerly anticipates Shi Yuhuai’s appearance as he ignores the laughter of others.
They wouldn’t understand, the quality of determination akin to not believing he’s last place until the last score is announced by the teacher, they don’t have this.
Awaiting the second-to-last outcome is meaningful!
After much anticipation, when Li Yang was getting anxious, Shi Yuhuai finally appeared.
With a golden crown tying up his long hair, dark red armor-like attire, black satin straps tightly wrapped around his wrists and waist for movement, under his long coat were long legs wrapped in black pants which flashed with movement.
This look of restraint had a high-slit-skirt-like effect.
Plus, Shi Yuhuai’s naturally expressionless face, he looked like an assassin forced into freelancing due to excessively long legs.
Though his expression seemed a bit off now, whether he saw Li Yang or Guan Yu wasn’t clear.
Mu Qiu could almost hear Guan Yu swallow nearby.
"Calm down, Sister Guan Yu," she patted the pink petal skirt beside Guan Yu, "you two aren’t from the same world, it’s impossible to be together."
"..." Goddamn not from the same world, this statement left her speechless.
After all, Sailor Moon and an ancient assassin truly don’t look like they’re from the same era.
But—
"Maybe this episode brings together so many different identities to spark a timeless romance?"
Mu Qiu: "Let me speak on behalf of the fans and director—dream on."
"......" So harsh.
"It’s over." Li Yang’s devastated voice sounded from behind.
Everyone turned to look at him.
Li Yang wearing a wry smile: "There is no maybe! I suspect that the production team categorized us by levels and let us appear in order!"
Guan Yu: "Makes sense, you at the front and people like Brother Cheng who look excessively handsome at the end, just verifies this fact."
Li Yang: ... Why am I insulting myself?
He looked at the others with a face full of sorrow, hoping for a little comfort.
When he saw Mu Qiu, Mu Qiu opened her mouth, he looked at her expectantly, hoping to hear "you’re good, you’re handsome, don’t overthink."
Then—
Mu Qiu: "Li Yang, your golden punk hairstyle is blocking half your face."
