I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 204: He’s Just Too Affectionate

The young lady took a deep breath and relied on her professional integrity not to burst into laughter, continuing her performance.

Her eyes were filled with sorrow: "I knew it, you came for her."

Shi Yuhuai: "...I’m not."

"You are!"

Shi Yuhuai: "I’m really not."

"...I say you are, so you are! Unfortunately, you are still too late! She has died under my sword and fallen off this Death Cliff, with no chance of survival!"

Shi Yuhuai paused: "Oh."

The young lady: "..." Damn it, what should I do, am I supposed to speak to myself now?!

This straightforward response was too perfect, dry and awkward, so awkward that Mu Qiu felt this part might be too difficult to record.

Unexpectedly, the actress’s belief in the role was too strong; she carried on despite the awkward atmosphere.

She suddenly shook her sword, pressing it against his chest’s clothing, her expression unraveling as she shouted, "Stop talking! I don’t want to hear it!"

Shi Yuhuai, who had just opened his mouth, closed it again.

The young lady: "You say you love her, but you are so heartless, completely forgetting our past together?! I gave up hatred and dreams for you, but you fell for someone else! You heartless man!"

Shi Yuhuai remained silent; he felt the plot was truly beyond his comprehension, unsure how to respond.

Then he turned his gaze to a group of people sitting along the wall.

A look of seeking help in his eyes.

Guan Yu nudged Mu Qiu with her elbow. Mu Qiu looked up, shifting his gaze from Cheng Zhirang’s fingers to the young lady, thought for a moment, and said.

"Lady, he’s not a heartless person; he just loves too many people."

"..." Guan Yu clicked her tongue, "What a player’s line. Brother Huai, you can’t wash this off, just ask if there’s any clue or anything else she can give you."

Shu Ran added: "Maybe the lady will remember old times and help you once more."

Mu Qiu: "He must be quite the sea king to make the lady act like this."

The beloved young lady looked at Shi Yuhuai’s indifferent expression, trembling, and the sword fell to the ground with a thud.

Shi Yuhuai instinctively backed away immediately, as if saying, "I didn’t touch you, you better not claim I did."

The lady felt such a person shouldn’t be a heartbreaker; he might not even be human.

"She’s dead! You don’t even want to come near me! Do you really love her to the bone, willing to do anything for her?!"

Shi Yuhuai: "No..."

"Fine! Fine! Fine!" the lady said "Fine" three times, successfully overshadowing Shi Yuhuai’s off-script answer,

"I lost the bet! You’re willing to do anything to bring her back, then go to Qingci Academy! There, as long as you give up something, anything can be accomplished!"

Li Yang, with his killer hairstyling, popped up: "You hate him so much, why do you still help him?"

The lady fiercely closed her eyes, pretending not to see this eyesore, striving to make her expression look mournful and despairing.

"Love is something powerless, I can’t control my heart."

"...Ugh, how emo."

The true emo called the ancient killer emo, he really has some nerve.

But anyway, Shi Yuhuai relied on his scoundrel charm to get a bit of information from the darkened lady.

Yet another location.

The group bid farewell to the darkened lady and followed her verbal instructions to go back.

The hand-drawn map given by the production crew surprisingly didn’t include Qingci Academy; whether the director intentionally omitted it or the lady played them is unknown.

Anyway, everyone still had to aimlessly search for their identity cards. Having received an accurate location, they thought it couldn’t hurt to check it out.

After walking through several intersections and various alleys, they arrived in front of a store selling stone-churned mochi.

The small store built with bluestone had its product display area as a stone counter, upon which were many wooden boxes filled with emerald-colored mochi. Inside sat an old woman fanning herself with a palm fan.

Her face was kind and gentle, humming against the wall with a slow tune, gently swaying the palm fan with her wrinkled hands.

Li Yang was about to go ask for directions to Qingci Academy when Cheng Zhirang, walking behind him, whispered a sentence.

"This is Willow Leaf City’s performing arts artist, the drama maestro Ms. Cheng Huixue, who portrayed several roles in the national cultural history documentary, highly praised."

Thus, Li Yang immediately retracted his step, his entire skin tensed up.

A big shot! He had just thought about sweetly calling her grandma!

Meanwhile, the grandma glanced back distractedly, seemingly locking onto one of them, briefly turning her head back again for a second look.

Then she suddenly erupted, dropping the fan, transforming from kind and artistic to fierce and furious, pointing at someone in the middle and shouted,

"You dare to come back?! Where have you been all day?!"

Walking in the front, Shi Yuhuai swiftly shifted sideways, avoiding the direction the fan handle was pointed at.

Mu Qiu also quickly dodged to the side; the tone and prop reminded people of the terrifying scene of grandma pulling down their pants to spank their behinds when they were young.

Moreover, she’s an ancient heartbreaker now; this scene of hitting with a fan isn’t likely to happen to her. It might fit Li Yang, maybe even Cheng Zhirang.

But most likely it’s Li Yang, dressed rebelliously, evidently a kid who gets hit often.

Pretty easy to think about, so as everyone avoided the fan handle, they spontaneously left Li Yang standing there.

In the middle, Li Yang stood looking bewildered, mouth agape looking at the fierce grandma.

Two seconds later, unbelieving, he pointed at himself, "...Me?"

The grandma again "sworded", grasping the fan, pinching it audibly.

"You’re going to drive me mad! How many times did I tell you not to dress like this?!"

Said she as she started walking out of the store.

Li Yang quickly backed away, his expression almost losing control.

Guan Yu kindly shielded him, glanced at the tuft of hair on his head, and said, "Tsk, with this hair and clothes, if I were your elder I’d spank you too. I’ve said many times, rebellion is fine, but brainlessness isn’t."

"Sister Guan Yu, stop talking, block her, I’m going to run!"

The grandma had rounded from inside the store, lifting the fan handle, aiming to hit him.

Li Yang seized the opportunity and dashed away, Guan Yu still mocking him, next moment the fan handle accurately landed on Guan Yu.

She was stunned, "No, grandma, you hit the wrong person."

The grandma’s expression grew more furious, "Did I hit the wrong one?! Hit you it is! You unfilial daughter! Think I won’t recognize you just because you changed your look with some ridiculous drapery!"

Li Yang, who almost ran far, stopped down, shouting wow.

Mu Qiu and they all turned synchronously, looking at Guan Yu with wide eyes.

Guan Yu immediately froze into stone, too astonished to speak.

Guan Yu: I am clearly Little Sakura from the Magic World, grandma, we’re from different eras!
