I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 226: There’s an Alliance Called the Sand Alliance

Chapter 226: Chapter 226: There’s an Alliance Called the Sand Alliance

Shu Ran stood at Shengyi Lane and thought for a long time.

Finally, she came to a conclusion: the fans and the program team are really good at this, they managed to weave Cheng Zhirang’s and her storyline together.

Cheng Zhirang has an ulterior motive? How could it be?!

Cheng Zhirang hasn’t seen her identity card yet, given his character, it’s impossible for him to sneak a peek on the road, so he doesn’t even know there’s this segment in her identity card’s storyline!

The imagination of the program team is too wild!

She looked at the last bit of identity information, put away her identity card, and said to the camera: "Now I’ve got my identity card. I just went through the plot where someone was chasing me to kill me, so I can go to the academy to take the exam now."

The staff following her walked with her out of Shengyi Lane to the main road outside.

The people who had been chasing her madly were nowhere to be seen. She looked around, stepped out, and walked along the main road.

As soon as she reached the place where they gathered in the morning, she saw not far away, a young man in a golden flashing tight suit chasing a big bike with a silver knife.

Beside him stood a red-clad female knight munching on sunflower seeds, crouching in the shade watching the fun with great enthusiasm.

"Guan Yu! You stop right there!"

"I can’t stop! I’m riding on my BMW steed!"

"Stop for me! You lied to me!!!"

"That wasn’t lying! That was a white lie!"

"I’ve fallen for your tricks!"

Shu Ran: "..."

Wherever the three of them are, it’s indeed always lively.

She walked towards Mu Qiu’s position to ask what was going on.

Mu Qiu, already having shelled a pile of seeds, naturally handed a small handful over as the shadow fell on her.

"Want some?"

Shu Ran felt like she might be possessed by someone; she not only accepted them but also wanted to crouch like her and watch the fun.

Fortunately, she was wearing a qipao, saving her last bit of sanity.

"Thanks."

Mu Qiu waved her hand and continued enjoying the spectacle.

Shu Ran asked her: "What’s up with those two?"

Mu Qiu recollected the beginning, process, and ending of the matter and gave her a brief outline.

"Their alliance collapsed, Guan Yu tricked Li Yang."

"Wasn’t Guan Yu allied with you?"

"There is an alliance called the Sand Alliance; it collapses just by tossing it without needing the wind."

"..."

In the middle of the road, Guan Yu and Li Yang were still joyously chasing each other. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Guan Yu somehow got ahold of Cheng Zhirang’s big bike, and a red cloth was tied around the handlebars.

When Mu Qiu and Li Yang noticed her, she was leisurely riding the bike out of a lane, like she was touring the Expo Park.

Li Yang’s anger surged instantly, and he lunged forward, trying to pull her down, startling Guan Yu into making turns and pedaling hard.

Then the two ended up like this, with Guan Yu riding fast and Li Yang chasing after like shepherding sheep.

Guan Yu wore a petal skirt with borrowed denim shorts underneath, pedaling rapidly, likely tiring out and getting caught soon.

Mu Qiu crunched on sunflower seeds, her head following Guan Yu and Li Yang’s direction, while Shu Ran stood aside, looking for conversation.

"Did you see Brother Cheng? He was just ahead of me."

Mu Qiu paused: "Didn’t see him, did Brother Cheng find his identity card?"

Shu Ran shook her head: "No, just some notes. I feel like using notes to lead him step-by-step is to indicate he has a very significant identity."

"I think so too, it seems Cheng Zhi gave him a very complicated identity. How about you, Sister Shu Ran, did you find yours?"

"Found it. Did you all find yours?"

Mu Qiu made a shocked expression, so much that sunflower seeds fell from her mouth: "You all found it, and I’m the only one who hasn’t."

Shu Ran was still puzzled: "You haven’t found it? And you have time to shell seeds and watch the drama here?"

"Taking a break," Mu Qiu kept up the pretense, "I’ve been running around looking for it, but just can’t find it; the storyline hit me twice already. Also—"

She leaned in a bit and whispered: "I’ve been following Li Yang and them, and encountered Brother Cheng and Brother Huai, but no one has gone to the academy yet."

Which meant, no one has run ahead, no one has an advantage.

Shu Ran heard her whispers, straightened up, and thought: "Isn’t anyone in a hurry? You’ve found your identity card, why not go try at the academy?"

Mu Qiu shrugged, "I want to know too; I think maybe there’s a trick. Like Sister Guan Yu and them, waiting for the first person to arrive, ready to sabotage."

Shu Ran thought, it’s not impossible.

Especially Guan Yu and Li Yang, even adding Shi Yuhuai who’s been very irritable this episode, they look like the kind who love sabotaging, preventing people from completing tasks.

She frowned, starting to think of solutions.

According to the rules of previous episodes, if you’re the last in personal battles, there would be punishment, and next episode you’d become a wandering NPC, like the semi-paralyzed Li Yang in last episode.

So she absolutely can’t be last; she should strive to be first.

But with people wanting to sabotage, how can she finish the task first?

She thought and thought, and finally said to Mu Qiu: "Mu Qiu, why don’t we form an alliance?"

Mu Qiu pretended to hesitate for two seconds, then nodded to agree: "Sure, but why do you want to ally with me?"

"We can cooperate, I help you find your identity card, you block Guan Yu and them for me, let me go in and take the test, then I can help you answer questions."

"Makes sense, what kind of alliance is this? I don’t want a Sand Alliance."

Shu Ran racked her brain, came up with a name to show her determination: "Cement Alliance!"

Mu Qiu: "...What a great name!"

Cement, such a hard building material, add some water, even if you hit your head, if it scatters, that’s on you.

She extended her hand, "Then let’s agree on that."

"Agreed." Shu Ran put her hand on her back, and the two did a sneaky cheer.

After performing the ritual, Shu Ran let out a long breath.

It was her first time creating an alliance; it was quite exciting.

Compared to Shu Ran, Mu Qiu was an old hand at alliances.

Having just cheered on their alliance with someone else, she turned around with a smile to chit-chat with Guan Yu, who had been caught.

"Caught so quickly because of exhaustion? Sister Guan Yu, you should drink Kidney Treasure regularly!"

Guan Yu rolled her eyes at her and greeted Shu Ran.

"You’re here too. Hey hey hey, Li Yang, let’s talk this over, holding my hand like this isn’t polite for greeting Shu Ran! Can you loosen up for a bit?"

Li Yang sneered, "You just talked about boy band idols holding actresses’ hands leading to scandals, I’ll tell you, even if I fall for your tricks I won’t trust you anymore!"

Guan Yu shook the hand he held, "Then I’ll say it again."

Then she raised her voice: "Li Yang! Why are you holding someone’s hand?! Touch someone’s hand and you’re responsible, are you ready for responsibility?! I knew you liked me!"

Li Yang dug his ear with one hand, calmly said: "Why would I be interested in a thirty-eight-year-old woman who still likes cosplaying a minor, Little Sakura?"

Guan Yu: "..." Let’s not mention age, then we could still be friends.
