I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 221: You’re Thinking Peach
Guan Yu could still discern between genuine and false praise. She scratched her head and asked, "Did I get something wrong?"
Mu Qiu bluntly said, "I think everything’s wrong."
"...What am I supposed to do then?!"
Mu Qiu sighed, put her hands on her hips, and circled around Guan Yu twice.
Guan Yu just sat there, looking up at her as she went round and round.
Finally, Mu Qiu stopped in front of the desk, looking at Guan Yu like a disappointed father staring at his son who always failed his exams.
"Since it has come to this, I have no choice but to use my ultimate weapon."
Guan Yu: "??? What?"
Mu Qiu reached into her clothes, fiddled around a bit, and magically pulled out a tablet.
Guan Yu couldn’t believe it, standing up and leaning in closer to look, her gaze darting between the tablet and Mu Qiu’s face.
"You even brought that in?!"
This is outrageous! She scolded me for cheating, but compared to this, my minor peeking is nothing. Sneaking in electronic devices is REAL cheating, isn’t it?!
Mu Qiu put her finger on her lips, "Shh, keep it down, do you want to pass or not?!"
Guan Yu immediately covered her mouth, sidling up close to Mu Qiu, using her slightly broader back to block the camera.
The cameraman was speechless, so he simply tiptoed and lifted the camera to shoot clearly over their heads, capturing their cheating act unmistakably.
Mu Qiu typed away at lightning speed, her fingers a blur that dazzled Guan Yu’s eyes.
"Is that connected to the internet?" she suddenly realized the problem.
Mu Qiu nodded.
Guan Yu was incredulous: "Where’d you get the Wi-Fi?"
"When Li Yang drove me around in the three-wheeler, I stood on top and saw that the nearest alleys each have some people there, and where there are people, there’s Wi-Fi."
Guan Yu was astonished, mouth agape.
"I thought you and Li Yang were just messing around... turns out he was the only clueless one. Did you ask the staff to set up a hotspot?"
"No, I had Li Yang’s assistant do it. They’re just wandering nearby."
Guan Yu: "...Li Yang, the truly pitiable one."
[OMG, when did Mu Qiu even bring a tablet along?!]
[How can you talk bad about Yangyang behind his back?! Even if he’s silly, you can’t be so blunt about it.]
[Poor Li Yang, he’s the only one foolishly having fun haha.]
[I really thought Mu Qiu was just messing around with Li Yang... who knew she had planned this from the start?]
[?? How did she bring the tablet without the production crew noticing?]
[Guan Yu’s English hahaha what the hell is ’push push’!?]
[I just wanna know how she hid it behind her back, isn’t it uncomfortable?]
[Guan Yu’s English translation is just my CET-4 exam level.]
[Smiling like one of my kind.jpg]
[Director: Arrest her for me]
[Li Yang cluelessly driving his tricycle outside while his assistant gets asked by Mu Qiu to set up a hotspot hahaha I’m dying of laughter!]
[Guan Yu: You conniving dog, I can’t compete]
[I can already imagine the popularity of this tablet]
[I can use Chinese notes to mark the English pronunciation, haha haveeer bee vee shang moo shin googude]
[My phone is a Huawei Nova Gum Balls]
[Good good, your English is great]
[I know! This is an online trend! Didn’t expect the director to be an internet surfer as well?]
[Mu Qiu got the examples. I trust them, as long as there are examples, they can come up with countless better answers]
[What a shock! The Female Knight and Sailor Moon crossed time and space to be together, all because of a tablet?!]
[Li Yang: Me and my assistant, just mere pawns in the scheme]
"Found it!"
Mu Qiu placed the tablet on Guan Yu’s desk. The two sat twisted on the bench, heads close together, gazing at the search results on the tablet.
Guan Yu read aloud an example from the forum, "Like when you’re daydreaming, it can be marked as something like peaching..."
She was suddenly enlightened, understanding illuminated her face like a light bulb in a dim room. "I get it now!"
She double-tapped to call out the virtual keyboard, excitedly typing out her answer.
Mu Qiu leaned over for a glance.
[Is there any you how recommendations for food here?]
After reading, she gave Guan Yu a thumbs up.
Guan Yu: "Pretty good, right?"
Mu Qiu: "Very good indeed! You’re exactly the talent the show is highly paying for!"
Guan Yu’s face lit up with a grin as she swiped on the screen to the next question.
An electronic voice announced, "When you and your friend are inviting a girl to chat and he describes himself as particularly impressive, what would you say?"
Guan Yu typed confidently.
"tree new bee."
Mu Qiu opened her mouth, resisting the urge to repeat it twice.
The question just got better, Guan Yu answered flawlessly throughout.
The voice: "While reciting Li Bai’s ’Quiet Night Thoughts’, how do you let classmates know you’re a foreigner?"
Guan Yu replied, "lower school乡."
The voice: "When you find something hard to believe, how do you describe it with an idiom?"
Guan Yu answered, "book思议!"
The voice: "While learning the Chinese names for human limbs, how do you remember kneecap?"
Guan Yu answered, "she guy."
Mu Qiu watched her from start to end, gaping, utterly amazed by her talents, "book思议."
Considering all of Guan Yu’s English vocabulary was used up today, she managed to answer five integrated questions consecutively.
Sadly, Mu Qiu shook her head; it’s unfortunate that she answered four straight formal questions wrong.
Asked about her blind date’s family economic situation, she picked ’filthy rich’ as her answer.
Wishful thinking here.
As Guan Yu revelled in her answering spree, Mu Qiu tucked the tablet back in her clothes, patting her backside as she snuck out quietly.
She still had to find that Princely Heir of the General Mansion.
Heading back down the path where she had first glimpsed the Heir clad in white, Mu Qiu clutched the white jade token, hastily drafting her lines.
Turning a corner in the alley, she had just borrowed a tissue from a crew member to wipe her sweat when she saw the handsome guy in white Hanfu, crossing his legs playing games with the staff.
The sound of "Penta kill" blared loudly.
They exchanged an immediate, instinctive glance.
Two seconds later, the handsome guy threw aside his phone and stood straight, shaking his robes, returning to a state of cold indifference.
"Why have you returned again? There’s no need to discuss, recovery is futile."
Mu Qiu decided to leave this man’s contact info for Guan Yu instead; one Brother Cheng was enough.
With both hands cupping her mouth, she suppressed her rising laughter, reluctantly walking through her hastily crafted monologue.
"Princely Heir, I know it’s over between us, but this token, take it. I want to ask just one last question..."
"Wait, what Princely Heir?"

The production crew: Thank you for the mention, but we currently don’t need this kind of talent.
