I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 223: Caring for Fools Is Everyone’s Responsibility
Mu Qiu finished reading the promise letter and returned it to Li Yang, sighing at him.
Li Yang asked her, "How is it? Isn’t this alliance of yours way too fake?"
Mu Qiu sighed heavily again, her gaze at him turning gentle and compassionate.
Caring for the naive is everyone’s responsibility.
Her gaze was obviously abnormal, which raised Li Yang’s caution. He opened the promise letter again and took another look, but didn’t see any issues, so he asked her once more.
"Is there something wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Mu Qiu looked up at a forty-five-degree angle to the sky and said, "Twenty years ago on the Immortal Cultivation Continent, I got a treasure knife that can cut through iron like mud from a romantic rival."
Li Yang: "??? What on earth are you talking about?"
"Do you want to see that treasure knife?"
Li Yang’s entire punk outfit expressed bewilderment.
"Is it because of your identity? Did the fans create an identity for you where you have to talk so whimsically?"
"Just tell me if you want to see my treasure knife or not?"
Li Yang locked eyes with her, speechless, and said, "Yes, yes, let me see!"
Mu Qiu then drew out the knife from her waist, her movements bold and unrestrained, her presence intimidating, even providing her own sound effects.
"Swish! Swish swish swish!" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Li Yang dodged left and right following her movements, just about to call her crazy, when he saw her raise the knife and thrust it towards his waist with a ’chua’ sound.
Li Yang panicked, instinctively bending over, blurting out, "Oh sh*t!"
Mu Qiu maintained the stabbing pose. Two seconds later, she gave a "ha" sound, twirled the knife in an exaggerated way, and the retractable blade danced back and forth behind her and then jabbed him again with a ’chua’.
She even jabbed twice.
"Look at the knife! Ha!"
Li Yang snapped out of his fright, looking down at the knife stuck on him.
The tip of the knife retracted automatically upon contact with his clothes, revealing the color of the cardboard inside.
"...Crazy?!" Each word sounded more frantic than the last.
That really gave him a fright!
Mu Qiu’s expression remained unchanged as she swiftly sheathed the knife, sticking her tongue out to mimic licking blood from the tip like a martial hero before calmly tucking it back into her belt.
"Good knife, right?"
Li Yang: "..." Let’s not discuss if the knife is good, but you definitely seem a bit silly.
The nearby staff were desperately holding back their laughter, muffling their mouths as chuckles escaped. A photographer brother had his camera set up beside them, but he laughed so hard hugging himself that his face and neck turned red.
Li Yang felt utterly disdainful and speechless for a good while, and when he saw Mu Qiu finish putting the knife away and still staring at him with that expression, he thought this person was truly...
"Wait a minute...Oh sh*t!?" He suddenly looked down at the knife, then at Mu Qiu, and finally at the promise letter in his hand.
The camera zoomed into his face, capturing his bewildered, shocked, confused, and hurt expressions.
He trembled, re-reading the promise letter again and again, and finally, with a furious throw to the ground, a scream broke the heavens.
"Sister Guan Yu lied to me!!!"
Mu Qiu: A perfectly fine kid, driven crazy like this.
[Hahahahahaha, sorry Li Yang, I didn’t mean to laugh, hahahahaha]
[Li Yang, you’re so adorably foolish, both loveable and infuriating]
[I’m laughing as hard as my cat, hahahahahaha]
[I knew it, as soon as I got that knife, I was just waiting for Mu Qiu’s reaction using it on Li Yang]
[That previous comment, can you break up the sentence? Is it "Li Yang, you’re adorable, foolish, both loveable and infuriating"?
[Mu Qiu’s gaze truly looked like she was caring for a simpleton, hahahahahaha]
[I forbid you from bullying Yangyang like this! My precious child, come here!]
[Just now, the way Li Yang looked at Mu Qiu also seemed like he was looking at a fool, hahahahahaha]
[The phrase "crazy" keeps echoing, it’s truly mind-boggling]
[Some planets are still sending bullet comments, while others have already made emoticons]
[After this episode, Yangyang will have another set of emoticons to battle Brother Cheng and the others]
[Raising a child is really exhausting; moms have to stay up late making emoticons for their kids to use in meme battles]
[Brother Huai: Do you believe I would use a treasure knife to teach you the difference between adults and children]
[Guan Yu, Mu Qiu, and Li Yang should just be forever together; they’re too hilarious, hahahahahahahaha]
[Guan Yu, you heartless one! How could you deceive Li Yang like this?! At least write a promise that Mu Qiu wouldn’t easily find out!]
[Guan Yu: Sorry, little brother, in the life-and-death battle between me and Mu Qiu, we had to bring someone in]
[Just putting their names together makes me laugh! Each of them is so dramatic]
[To be honest, I came specifically for these three]
[To be honest, I came specifically for Brother Cheng’s face, Brother Huai’s legs, and the three of them]
[Am I, like, different... I came just to see how Shu Ran quits tea]
[Me too!!! I feel like I’m watching a teenager quitting addiction! Hoping she would talk to Brother Huai more!]
[Brother Huai: Just a tool person]
[By the way, where are Brother Huai and Shu Ran? Especially Shu Ran, where did she go?]
[I’m curious too]
While the bullet comments were mentioning Shu Ran, another group of staff from the show met the second person besides Shu Ran in an alley on the outskirts of the Ancient City.
Shu Ran had just sprinted all the way and was chased into this alley. Hearing footsteps, she was a bit nervously sensitive, turning sharply to look at the newcomer.
Recognizing him, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Cheng."
The man in the elegant suit walked over leisurely, a smile still on his face, his tone remaining warm and steady.
"I just saw you run in here, what happened?"
Shu Ran took the tissue handed over by an assistant outside the camera, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and told him with complete trust:
"There was a group of people from nowhere, constantly chasing me. They weren’t in a hurry to catch up, just felt like they were toying with me."
"Maybe it’s part of your storyline, were they also in qipao or Republic of China attire?"
Still catching her breath, Shu Ran nodded: "Yes, in Republic of China attire, and they even had fake guns. What kind of identity did they arrange for me?"
"That, I don’t know, but—" Cheng Zhirang’s slender fingers pulled out an identity card from his suit pocket and handed it to her, "I found this on the way, and the staff said it might be yours."
Surprised, Shu Ran took it, unfolded it, and looked.
"It really is my identity card!"
She looked up joyfully at Cheng Zhirang, "What a coincidence, Brother Cheng?! I’ve been searching for so long and you just walked by and found it!"
"It is quite the coincidence. I still haven’t found my own though," he said helplessly.
Shu Ran was about to carefully examine her identity card but paused, "You haven’t found your identity card yet?"
Cheng Zhirang shook his head, pulling out a small piece of paper: "Someone kept slipping me notes. This one led me to this alley. I thought the identity card would be here, but didn’t expect to run into you."
The words on the note came into view of the camera.
[Survive in the crevice, self-preserve by cutting off the tail, Shengyi Lane Clamp Cave entrance.]

Everyone can guess what identity was arranged for Brother Cheng
