I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 215: Tooth for Tooth Is My Last Stubbornness
Mu Qiu ran into a small turning alley before she finally stopped.
She hadn’t been to this alley before, but just now on the rickshaw, she had the advantage of height and saw that there were people inside.
Where there are people, there’s a plot.
Upon entering, the alley was quiet, and the people she saw earlier were gone.
Mu Qiu lightened her footsteps and took the retractable paper knife from her waist, assuming a guarded stance.
Clearly someone was here, but it was so quiet, Mu Qiu thought of the horror movies she had seen before, and the tension suddenly rose.
It felt like people were everywhere, someone was definitely behind her, and to her left and right too, maybe even under her feet if it was less realistic.
As she walked further into the alley, it was quiet, and any random rustling sound could make her freeze in tension for a moment.
This feeling really was just like when she played at a friend’s house as a kid, knowing there were three dogs hiding outside her friend’s home.
Afraid that they might rush out and bite her at any time.
Fortunately, this alley didn’t take long to reach the end.
She was just about to relax when someone suddenly patted her shoulder.
Mu Qiu: !!!
She swiftly turned around and stepped back two paces, thrusting the retractable paper knife forward.
"Don’t touch me!"
"......"
Shi Yuhuai looked down at the "knife" stabbed into his belt, and the two hands holding the knife handle tightly.
After confirming that the knife was fake, he pushed her aside and turned to leave without a moment’s hesitation.
He’s been getting bullied throughout this episode!
Mu Qiu saw that the person who patted her was Shi Yuhuai and quickly called out to him.
"Brother Huai! Brother Huai, don’t go! I didn’t know it was you!"
Within a meter of Shi Yuhuai, there’s nothing but resentment, and he didn’t pay her any attention.
Mu Qiu had no choice but to run in front of him to block him. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
"No, Brother Huai, you startled me showing up out of nowhere. That was just my reflex! Look, it’s retractable, and it’s made of paper!"
She handed the knife to him, indicating it was really unintentional, absolutely not aimed at disliking him.
Shi Yuhuai looked at the fake knife, after observing for two seconds, he took it in his hand and gave her shoulder a stab.
Mu Qiu looked dumbfounded.
Then he gave her shoulder on the other side another stab.
With two swipes, mercilessly, after stabbing her he handed it back and left.
Mu Qiu awkwardly caught the knife, watching him storm off.
Getting revenge, it was kind of cute though.
Watching that dark red towering figure disappear, she retracted her gaze and awkwardly smiled at the camera.
"I swear, I really wasn’t targeting Brother Huai, mainly his actions were a bit strange and just happened to show up at this moment."
After explaining, she coughed lightly into her fist, took the knife, and continued walking further into the alley.
She had only taken two steps when she suddenly saw an unfamiliar man appear ahead.
Mu Qiu got startled again and silently pointed the tip of her retractable paper knife forward.
"May I boldly ask, who are you?"
Which ghostly figure are you?
The unfamiliar man was dressed in jade-white ancient attire, different from the female knight’s outfit and Shi Yuhuai’s dark red robust outfit. This outfit looked like it belonged to an aristocratic family’s elegant young master, with matching jade pendants hanging from the waist.
The contestant the show picked was quite handsome; dressed in this ancient attire, he looked dashingly handsome.
The man’s eyes were vacant, looking at her in a daze, after a moment, he chuckled self-mockingly, "I was hoping beyond my means."
Then he turned around and staggered away.
Mu Qiu: "?? No, wait a minute? Aren’t you going to stay and chat?"
What’s with seeing her for a moment and then leaving?
Unfortunately, the man was determined to leave, resolute not to look back.
Mu Qiu blankly looked towards the camera.
[Brother Huai is really funny hahaha!!!]
[Brother Huai: An eye for an eye is my last stand]
[OMG, which school is this actor from?! Have they debuted? So handsome!]
[Those eyes and that expression, definitely debut-worthy. Sis, I’m climbing the wall for you]
[Did he see Mu Qiu blocking Brother Huai? So how many unrequited love interests have Mu Qiu’s fans prepared for her?]
[Battlefield ah...]
[Everywhere Mu Qiu goes, there’s danger hahaha! Either getting poisoned and backstabbed by rivals or dragged into various battlefields by suitors]
[Although outdated, I still have to say: Brother Cheng on a rickshaw feels so out of place hahaha damn]
[Truth be told, I’ve saved a screenshot of Brother Cheng gripping the rickshaw’s handlebars galloping away and plan to use it as my screensaver]
[I did too... I used to only use his gorgeous face as a background, but that scene, I just couldn’t resist screenshotting and changing it...]
[Brother Cheng, be yourself! Don’t be assimilated!]
[Is there any hope left for humanity hahaha this shit made me laugh till I split my sides]
[This actor is really not bad, especially in that outfit, looking great]
[The show’s staff will share the info via bullet comments, I really didn’t expect that old lady earlier to be played by a twenty-year-old girl...]
[Mu Qiu, why are you standing there?! Chase after him? Apologize! Pull his hand!]
[Mu Qiu: My brain has gone for a walk, this isn’t in my script]
[Mu Qiu hurry! Catch up! Let us feast our eyes on the handsome guy!]
Mu Qiu stayed silent facing the camera for two seconds and, prompted by the staff behind the camera, was forced to chase after love.
"Hey handsome! Wait a minute! Please wait, we need to have a proper chat! Misunderstandings start from lack of communication!"
Upon hearing her, the handsome guy stopped, turned around and looked at her: "I’ve already seen it, you and him."
His voice was rather pleasant, but those words didn’t sound quite right.
Mu Qiu feigned a smile, compelled to start explaining as a pseudo-villain: "Listen to my explanation, it’s not what you think with him."
How atrocious, even she couldn’t stand hearing herself.
Just a moment ago, she was saying Shi Yuhuai in this episode was a scum man, and now karma’s hitting her, is she the real scum girl?
The handsome guy in ancient attire cooperated, "Alright, I’ll listen to your explanation."
"Here’s how it is......"
"If your explanation doesn’t satisfy me, your only brother will also not be spared."
Mu Qiu’s words halted: "......My, brother?"
"Yes, I told you, you can choose not to love me, I can give you time, and I can help take care of your brother! But the one thing I won’t allow is you falling in love with someone else first!"
"......I didn’t, didn’t fall in love with anyone, don’t be impulsive, let’s talk it out. Do I still need to explain?"
"No need, I understand now."
With that, he turned and walked away, "Your brother’s fate, left to destiny."
What the heck is this tragic and gut-wrenching plot twist, why always threatening someone’s family’s safety at the drop of a hat?!
The key point is not listening to explanations! Have her fans been reading too many old love novels recently?!

Time for some knowledge:
The ornamental pendant known as "Banbu" in ancient times was generally composed of jade pieces of various shapes, threaded together with colored strings, tied to the waist. The initial purpose was to weigh down the hem of the garment. Since the ancients wore loose robes and wide-sleeved long skirts, in order to hold down the hem while walking or when the wind blew, they used jade ornaments or other objects on strings attached to the belt, and over time, it became an important personal accessory.
