I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 211: 100 Essential Questions for Scumbags
Of course, Shu Ran didn’t want to try it.
In the end, Shi Yuhuai had to do it.
He sat on the stool with his eyes downcast and expressionless, inexplicably looking aggrieved, as if even his wig exuded a sense of irritability.
The tall figure was still about the height of Mu Qiu’s chest when seated; the wind blowing through the bamboo forest lifted his long hair, and his dark red tunic flapped in the wind.
If only he were playing a zither beneath his hands, it would be perfect.
Unfortunately, his hands were operating a glowing blue high-tech device, flanked by a suit-wearing aristocrat on one side and a rebellious teen on the other.
This jarring sense of dissonance.
"Start the exam, start the exam!"
Li Yang, bent over with his hands on the stone table, stared intently at Shi Yuhuai as he operated the device, excitedly.
The electronic voice soon announced the start of the exam.
"Character role: Shi Yuhuai, life’s examination begins!"
"First question: In your life, when did you fall in love with the first person you loved?"
The options given were—
A: October of the Seventh Year of Tianxi.
B: May of the first year of Tianxi. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
C: January of the Fifteenth year of Tianxi.
D: Never been in love.
Shi Yuhuai incredulously repeated the question aloud for the camera, expressing his shock.
"When did I fall in love with ’the first person I loved’?"
The camera couldn’t respond to him, but the cameraman behind it and the audience watching the screen gave him a plenty of reactions.
[Brother! October, eh! Have you forgotten the day we fell in love?!]
[May! May!!! (screaming desperately)]
[1.13, Brother Long Legs! That was the day you proposed!]
[Well, look at this delusion on the screen]
[How can you all be like this, thinking I don’t know you’re all talking about your own birthdays? Clearly, 5.25 was the day we got married]
[Because of your arrogance, Brother will ’comfort’ me well tonight]
[You all are so brazen (dog head)]
[To the person in front, how will you be comforted? By letting Brother Huai kick you out with his long legs]
[......]
The cameraman behind the lens chuckled; as someone who had a preview of the show’s plot, everyone, like the audience, was eagerly anticipating this episode’s content.
Seeing Shi Yuhuai incredulously ask this question, they had no other thoughts but to laugh.
Mu Qiu also wanted to laugh, especially after seeing the last option, she had an uncontrollable urge to burst out laughing.
"Never been in love... is this a must-answer question for jerks?"
"And the first person loved, does that mean there are a second, third, up to the nth after that?" Guan Yu also asked.
Cheng Zhirang added insult to injury: "The first three options, the time spans quite a long gap, from the first year to the fifteenth year, haven’t you been in love continuously for over fifteen years?"
Fooling around for at least fifteen years, impressive.
Shi Yuhuai didn’t want to react, and right in front of the advancing camera, he closed his eyes.
Let him leave.
Let him leave this place.
It was really a bit funny; apart from Shi Yuhuai, the five others couldn’t help but smile and then burst into laughter.
Only when Shi Yuhuai’s face turned blue did they finally barely stop laughing.
Li Yang stepped out and said, "So now we know, this exam mainly tests the cobbled-together identity’s experiences, right?"
Mu Qiu nodded in thought, echoing him, "So we still need to find identity cards, and we must also find those performing to understand the stories fans have set for us."
Like when was the first love, or the name of the third man fallen in love, the twists and turns of life or whatever.
She had this reason to believe that the show producers could be this sly.
Guan Yu heaved a sigh of relief: "So this crazy math or whatever, just mixed in a few questions, right?"
"Probably......" Shu Ran leaned over, "Shouldn’t Brother Huai try another question? There doesn’t seem to be a time limit on this interface anyway."
Shi Yuhuai clicked to exit the exam in a snap, not giving her much time to say more.
The electronic voice sounded again: "Shi Yuhuai has exited the exam once, with only two attempts remaining."
So, the exam opportunity is only three times in total. Now, they can only go out to find clues and need to gather enough clues to succeed.
Shi Yuhuai’s operation was as fierce as a tiger; amidst the frequently playing electronic audio, he continually hit exit, return, and returned to the main interface, looking unflustered and undeterred.
If he hadn’t been unable to find the shutdown option, he might have wanted to shut it down in one go, hoping it’d never boot again.
After operating, he took a deep breath, stood up, as though finally shedding a burden, and felt fully relaxed.
"Let’s go."
After saying this, he left first.
The remaining few exchanged a look and hurriedly followed him out.
Shu Ran, wearing a qipao, ran quite fast, "How should we go about finding? Together or separately?"
"Separately, perhaps?" Li Yang’s wig bounced as he ran, and the gold chains on his body jingled, "It would be faster this way, isn’t this episode about who finishes the fastest?"
"Young male artists with strong competitive spirits are a bit more lively than us old aunties." Guan Yu "hitched" a ride on Mu Qiu’s shoulder and leisurely walked at the back.
Mu Qiu... Mu Qiu was actually being forced!
She also wanted to run! She wanted to quickly find her identity card, see two performances, and form a small group or something, but Guan Yu just hung on her shoulder dragging her along!
She wanted to run, but she had to run with another person.
Guan Yu clung to her, openly: "We are allied, Mu Qiu! You must take responsibility for me!"
"An alliance means being responsible for your afterlife, doesn’t it? Isn’t this an alliance but looking for a sunset love to entrust one’s end of life?"
"I don’t care! And you must know, now that I know my identity, the identity card also has benefits, following me is a better choice, you are the one gaining!"
Mu Qiu looked at her with difficulty, trying to pry her hand off: "Don’t you think your words sound familiar?"
Guan Yu: "? How so?"
"It’s like — although I’m 80 and bedridden, I have money and a house, so you, a 20-year-old, being with me, is your gain."
Guan Yu: "..."
Mu Qiu pried off her two hands, saying the final words: "Such coaxing words to get young girls to be caretakers, I will not agree! Little Sakura, let us part ways, see you on the rivers and lakes, never again!"
After saying this, she ran away from the crowd.
Guan Yu couldn’t catch up despite being dazed.
Only looked back breathlessly, spotting the calm and elegant Cheng Zhirang and turning back.
"Brother Cheng, it’s just the two of us left!"
Cheng Zhirang smiled, "It’s not just us left, it’s just you left. I never allied with you."
"......can’t we form one now? I decided to abandon the previous ally."
"I’m afraid not."
Guan Yu pouted, "So, Brother Cheng, why are you so slowly falling behind? Aren’t you anxious?"
Cheng Zhirang said nothing.
Guan Yu watched him walk, her gaze fixing on his feet.
"Brother Cheng, you’re walking so slow......could it be because you can’t run in leather shoes hahahahahahahaha!"
Cheng Zhirang: "..."
