I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 231: Hydrogen, Helium, Lithium, Beryllium, Boron
Just when Mu Qiu felt a tiny bit sorry for Shu Ran, a young man with a sky-high wig and hands in tight pants pockets walked past without looking sideways.
"...." Mommy said I can’t play with the village drifters at the entrance.
She suddenly turned and walked in another direction.
Half a minute later, the chain-wearing young man walked backwards to her again.
Walking backwards is one thing, hands in pockets is another, if he had a passable appearance, imagining him as Dao Ming Si wouldn’t be impossible.
But with this look... she really couldn’t stand it.
So for the second time, she chose to ignore him, turned her head to one side and walked leaning against the wall.
She used every cell in her body to tell him: You are really painful to look at.
Li Yang understood her meaning at a glance, stopped and blocked her way, leaning his arm against the wall in a classic wall slam pose.
"Please look at me properly."
Mu Qiu squinted her eyes, swiftly drew the sword at her waist, slashed a few times, stabbing at the gold chain on his clothes.
"What kind of monster is so painful to look at!? How dare you block the path of this Female Knight!"
Li Yang: "....."
Are you crazy?!
After stabbing, Mu Qiu sheathed the sword like a warrior, closed her eyes and said, "I know, all your radiance is a means to confuse people’s hearts, I won’t open my eyes!"
"... Shut up, your head is turned, I’m fifteen degrees to your left."
"Sorry, my body reacted instinctively, not wanting to face you directly."
Li Yang rolled his eyes.
"Dare to open your eyes?"
"Indeed, I don’t dare."
"I want you to open your eyes!"
"No, I’m afraid I’ll go blind."
Li Yang took a deep breath, decided not to waste words, and went straight to the point.
"Do you have an ultimate weapon on you?"
Mu Qiu closed her eyes, touched around her waist, felt the handle of the retractable knife: "You mean this one I took from a love rival...?"
"I’m talking about another one! Did you bring a cheating Divine Artifact?!"
Mu Qiu swiftly opened her eyes, tried her best to show a surprised expression, and said a line suitable for the situation.
"How did you know?!"
After saying this, she leaned against the wall like she had suction cups on her back, protecting the tablet behind her.
Then she looked at him vigilantly: "Did Sister Guan Yu tell you?"
Li Yang stroked his wig, "You know she told me, did you share it with her?"
"Who shared with her? I was caught using it, then she coerced me to give her one search opportunity."
"Then shouldn’t you also give me an opportunity?"
"Li Yang, I wanted to give you a chance, but our love has no foundation, we’re not even from the same era, it’s impossible, you should give up."
Li Yang: "...... I’m talking about the opportunity to use the tablet!"
Mu Qiu coughed: "Oh, sorry. But why should I let you use it? I brought it here struggling tooth and nail (crew: ?) through thick and thin."
"Why should I?" Li Yang almost shouted out the words ’shameless’, "You use my assistant’s hotspot to connect to the internet, and you ask me why? I am the one who pays my assistant’s salary, okay?!"
"It’s just a few bucks and you’re talking about salary."
"Just say if you’ll let me use it or not, if not, I’ll ask my assistant to cut off the internet and tell others you have a tablet."
"... Is it this outfit that gives you the audacity to be shameless? You’re threatening me!"
Li Yang grinned at her: "So will you let me use it or not?"
Mu Qiu pursed her lips, hesitated for three seconds, finally closed her eyes resolutely: "Fine, fine, fine! Use it!"
"But let me tell you first, if we’re stuck doing problems at the academy, I’ll definitely check my answers first."
Li Yang frowned, thought about it and said, "We’ll use it at different times."
"Who first?" Mu Qiu asked.
Li Yang: "...... Me?"
"You wish!"
This time it’s a race to complete tasks first, who goes first is important. Nobody wants to give up the first use to the other.
Li Yang scratched his head, turned in circles, then suggested: "Why don’t you use it first, finish, then hand it to me, you go find your clues, I’ll keep it for you."
"I think you’re dreaming."
"......"
Both sides "in a stalemate", blocked on the road.
Guan Yu, who was watching the show behind them, already left for another place to find clues.
Mu Qiu was anxious too, there’s a problem she wasn’t sure about, she needed to find clues from the performers, but she couldn’t get rid of this chains-wearing guy.
Her original plan was that Li Yang would ally with her because of the tablet and they’d start together.
But unexpectedly, after being duped by Guan Yu, he grew smart and knew to ask about resource distribution.
Resource allocation wasn’t settled, so he blocked the path.
Mu Qiu recalled his exam questions, quickly thought of a solution.
Two minutes later, her eyes lit up: "I’ve got a plan!"
She borrowed paper and pen from staff, handed them to a puzzled Li Yang, then crouched near Li Yang’s assistant, and began searching.
Middle school Periodic Table of Elements.
After searching it, she showed the tablet to Li Yang: "Copy, quickly copy!"
Li Yang stared at the periodic table dumbfounded.
If this were a game, he wouldn’t agree to such a volume of copying.
But this was a live show, affecting win or loss, more accurately affecting whether he’d end up last, concerning his pride as the stage’s little prince.
So, he’d better hurry up and copy.
"Hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, sodium, magnesium, aluminum, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, argon, potassium, calcium... What’s Mn again?"
Mu Qiu looked at the tablet and prompted him: "Manganese element."
"Okay, what’s after that?"
"Look for yourself!"
The cameraman carried the camera around them, capturing Li Yang stuck to the wall, stumbling through copying the periodic table.
Mu Qiu held the tablet for him, looking around, sighed sincerely at the camera.
"Our show is so positive, promoting chemistry knowledge, biology knowledge, math knowledge, English knowledge, even involving postpartum care for pigs."
Such actions for publicity must be recorded, the camera aimed directly at her, staff encouraged her to say more.
Mu Qiu: "I can’t think of anything, I won’t accept bribes for false endorsements." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Staff: "......"
Mu Qiu grinned: "Just kidding you."
She freed a hand to hold the lens, leaned in, and passionately declared:
"Dear viewers, our show is truly dedicated! Promoting scientific positivity and nine-year compulsory education, you can see it from this person sprawled here copying the periodic table."
Li Yang turned and greeted: "I’m fine, everyone, hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon... "
"Alright, don’t put the driven-to-madness into the shot."
