I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 250: Guess Who’s the Fourth?

Although Shi Yuhuai ruthlessly pulled her away, Mu Qiu still resiliently asked about the entire ins and outs of the situation.

According to what Miss Lian’er said, she was preparing a blood pack at "Death Cliff," planning to perform a tear-jerking scene of a man watching his beloved woman teetering between life and death.

But Shi Yuhuai descended from the sky and asked, "You’re the one jumping off the cliff?"

Then when she was dumbfounded, he squatted, picked her up, and ran away with her.

When she came to her senses and wanted to continue the performance, she had already been transported in front of a bunch of cameras. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

And Shi Yuhuai had no intention of collaborating in the performance, he just put her on the ground and went to ask the staff if there was a button to end the game.

Leaving her standing there, utterly chaotic.

After hearing the whole story, Mu Qiu let out a long sigh.

This is truly a one-sided sad story, no wonder Shi Yuhuai was able to make it back first, not everyone can just pick someone up and run without another word.

She sympathetically patted the girl’s shoulder, "Sorry, our Brother Huai signed up for a class but hasn’t attended yet, next time, next time it will be better."

Girl: I don’t want to encounter him next time either.

After chatting with Miss Yingti, Mu Qiu stood up contentedly and looked around.

"Only the three of us have returned now, the order is very obvious."

Cheng Zhirang nodded, tapping a folding fan on the table, "Considering the order of passing the exam, Brother Huai is first, I’m second, and you’re third."

"That’s good," Mu Qiu patted the small bag at her waist, "At least I’m not the last."

Even though I was just thinking about competing for first place while running, it doesn’t matter, those who were as eager as me for the first place, Guan Yu and Li Yang, are still behind.

Just like in school, no matter how poorly I perform, as long as the people next to me perform worse, there’s no need to worry.

Cheng Zhirang watched her comfort herself, rubbing his fingers on the fan’s frame, suppressing the urge to comfort her.

Mu Qiu didn’t notice his subtle movement; if she said it wasn’t a big deal, then she really was building herself up mentally. After self-comforting, she turned to negotiate with Shi Yuhuai.

"How about this, Brother Huai, let’s guess who comes in next?"

Even though Shi Yuhuai won first place, his expression didn’t change much, but he was in a good mood and willing to join in the game.

"What’s the stake?"

Mu Qiu thought for a bit, propping her chin and asked Cheng Zhirang: "Brother Cheng, want to join?"

Cheng Zhirang: "Sure. So what’s the stake?"

"Snacks," Mu Qiu snapped her fingers, "There are three more people. We’ll guess three times, and if someone guesses wrong twice in a row, they’ll have to buy a big snack pack for the other two, how about that?"

Both Cheng Zhirang and Shi Yuhuai didn’t hesitate with the small stakes, immediately nodding in agreement.

Then the three of them moved benches and sat in a row, focusing intently on the academy’s entrance.

Mu Qiu: "Who do you think the fourth person will be? I guess Sister Guan Yu."

Shi Yuhuai: "I guess Li Yang."

Since both people were guessed, Cheng Zhirang had to guess Shu Ran, and Mu Qiu turned to look at him.

He said leisurely, "I guess Guan Yu too."

Mu Qiu’s eyes shifted, "Alright then."

She waved at the camera, "Come on, everyone, help witness this. If someone guesses wrong twice, they’ll buy the big snack pack."

[Is this how the top three entertain themselves?]

[You can tell how bored the leaderboard big shots are]

[Can I have a pack of the snack gift bag? I can also place a bet]

[Go Guan Yu! I bet Guan Yu is next!]

[Shu Ran: What, I’m not even worth betting on?]

[Clearly Shu Ran isn’t favored]

[Speechless, comparatively Shu Ran does find it hard to finish the tasks, so they chose others based on their analysis, any problem?]

[Brother Huai is first, Lian Yi is just watching and enjoying retirement]

[The three sitting idly really look like something]

[It looks like they’re waiting for an enemy to show up...]

[Li Yang! Li Yang! Li Yang! Root for you, kiddo!]

[No wonder Brother Huai was so quick... the young lady didn’t even have time to follow the script]

[Let’s just say, each one left the guest actors baffled]

[...]

The three of them supported their knees, waiting for someone to show up at their door, the one in white in the middle, with a bright red and a dark red on either side, just like his bodyguards.

There were a few photographers standing at the entrance facing the main road, leaning against the door and holding their cameras, not moving.

After about five minutes, the photographer leaning against the door suddenly stood up straight, put his hand on the lens, and whispered, "Here they come!"

Mu Qiu immediately perked up, sat up straight, and leaned forward, "Who is it? Who’s in front?!"

Next to her, Cheng Zhirang and Shi Yuhuai couldn’t help but lean forward too.

Speak of the devil, the fourth person trotted into the academy gate.

Then was startled by the three sitting in a row, pulling back against the door board.

"...What are you doing? Tribunal session?"

No, right now I should say something else.

"How are you so fast?!"

"What a coincidence, I’ve said that too," Mu Qiu slumped back, "But Sister Shu Ran, you actually came in before Li Yang and them."

All guesses were wrong.

The fourth was unexpectedly Shu Ran!

Shu Ran tidied her hair, seeing the three of them inside, knowing she’d missed the top three and having no interest in running anymore.

She walked slowly in, sat next to them, and Mu Qiu fished a pack of biscuits from behind to hand her. She took it and casually asked, "What are you doing? Betting on the order?"

"Yeah."

"No one bet on me?"

"...Actually, everyone really wanted to bet on you, sis, but considering..."

"Stop," Shu Ran raised a finger, "No need to explain, let me be sad alone, at this time I hear no evil, see no evil."

Shi Yuhuai: "When did you learn Guan Yu’s trick?"

Mu Qiu: "I have to speak up for Sister Guan Yu, her trick is obviously more theatrical."

Shi Yuhuai was choked up, maybe that’s true?

This particularly can’t be refuted.

Shu Ran was amused watching Shi Yuhuai being speechless, broke a small piece from the biscuit to eat, and asked Cheng Zhirang, "Brother Cheng, when did you change into ancient costume again?"

It looks quite nice, no wonder Mu Qiu couldn’t help staring while offering a biscuit.

Cheng Zhirang politely answered, "Just now."

"Among you three, who’s first? Brother Cheng?"

"No, it’s Brother Huai."

"...Brother Huai?" Shu Ran paused, looked at Shi Yuhuai.

Shi Yuhuai gazed down at her, seemingly ready to be praised.

But Shu Ran simply turned her head to the next question, "Then who’s second?"

"Brother Cheng," Mu Qiu pointed painfully at herself as well, "I’m third."

"Then I’m the fourth; can I join your bet?"

"And if you can’t?"

"Then I’ll sit here and cry."

"...What a rascal, I like it."
