I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 261: Retribution Comes in Due Time

Guan Yu became a toy that everyone poked over.

A group of people surrounded her, Li Yang poked her down, and Cheng Zhirang kindly helped her up.

Her thank you hadn’t even come out when Shi Yuhuai ran over from five meters away and poked her down again.

"...Brother Huai!"

Shi Yuhuai reached out to help her up.

Mu Qiu squatted beside, resting her chin on her hand, and felt a familiar sensation watching this scene.

It was like...

"A kind gentleman helping a pregnant woman who fell while rushing through a red light."

Pregnant woman·Guan Yu: "Shut up!"

She struggled to get up and said to Shi Yuhuai, "At least you have a conscience."

"They still want to poke."

That’s why I helped you up, didn’t you see Li Yang and Mu Qiu’s eyes turning green?

Guan Yu looked at him in disbelief.

Mu Qiu chuckled, extending a mischievous hand.

"I’ll take care of you for the rest of your life."

"...Pervert!!!"

There were five people, five hands, poking continuously, leaving Guan Yu in an endless cycle of being poked down, helped up, and poked down again, in utter misery.

They only stopped when the director shouted through a megaphone that it was getting dark.

Mu Qiu, satisfied, poked one last time, watching the big balloon collapse to the ground, finally dispelling the bad mood in her heart.

And Guan Yu, lying on the ground with unfocused eyes, started rolling her eyes.

"I’ll just lie here, I’m not moving, I’m going to play the victim."

"It’s okay, let’s take a group photo like this first," Mu Qiu said.

The final episode ends with everyone shouting the slogan; a group photo while shouting the slogan is not bad, even if there’s a strange object lying in the middle.

As it turns out, the director thought the same.

The director, who was more eager to clock off than they were, directed the cameramen towards them to shout the slogan.

Guan Yu lay in an airbag ball with lifeless eyes, surrounded by the other five, each striking a pose.

The cameraman shouted, "Ready."

Guan Yu stubbornly made a peace sign at the very last moment.

"Different Variety Show! Different Us! Yay!"

The laughter and joy spread out, filling the steps of Juwei Ancient City, the city walls, and the sky above.

The six people laughingly returned.

Their main cameras were turned off and taken down, signaling the official end of the fourth episode, leaving only two cameramen with smaller cameras, planning to shoot some behind-the-scenes clips for the edited version.

Without a pile of cameras surrounding them, Mu Qiu and the others didn’t need to pay as much attention to their image and started shouting they were hungry.

Li Yang especially, took off his wig and ran to ask the director, "Can we go back to eat now?"

The director, packing up his little stool, nodded and said, "Yes, the production team has prepared a transport vehicle for you all. You’ve been running all day and must be tired."

Everyone was pleasantly surprised.

"Is the production team so thoughtful?" Guan Yu asked.

The director: "Of course. Pack up your things and get ready to leave."

Guan Yu remained skeptical.

The staff had already started deflating her inflatable suit.

After deflating a third, she moved her hand and barely touched the legs of the ball suit when someone blocked the deflating place.

Li Yang raised his head, spun around with the taken-off wig, and said, "I think you look just fine like that."

"...You’re crazy!"

"Hahahahaha! I think it looks fine!" Li Yang laughed, throwing his head back.

Mu Qiu glanced at them and quietly moved over. While they were busy giggling, she quickly put the thing wrapped around her arm on Li Yang’s head!

Then she took out the airbag button from her bag and pressed it furiously.

"Pop!"

"Pop—"

"Pop—"

Li Yang hadn’t reacted yet when the crookedly worn headband started making noise.

He shivered in shock.

Mu Qiu was already running back while pressing the button, feeling as if she had won the lottery.

"Serves you right for laughing at me! I told you, some grudges aren’t settled because the time hasn’t come!"

Li Yang: "...Aren’t you the crazy one?!"

The three started playing around again.

Without the cameras, their movements were more natural, and Li Yang took off the headband and started chasing Mu Qiu.

Mu Qiu ran around the field, hiding behind Cheng Zhirang, Shi Yuhuai, and the oversized Guan Yu.

Cheng Zhirang turned his head from left to right watching them dart around, feeling quite helpless.

Shi Yuhuai, on the other hand, wasn’t helpless at all; he simply felt that the three of them were delaying his packing up to leave.

"Alright," eventually it was Cheng Zhirang who called for a pause, pinning one with each hand, his clear and pleasant voice saying, "Stop it, let’s go back to the hotel for dinner."

The ones who had been shouting about hunger weren’t in a hurry anymore. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Mu Qiu stopped, panting to catch her breath.

Li Yang, taking advantage of his height, put the headband back on Mu Qiu’s head, then snorted and followed Shi Yuhuai outside the academy.

"I’m going to grab a good seat first and eat when we get back."

Mu Qiu wasn’t in a rush, she thought, if we agreed to walk together, isn’t it possible to go together?

But she wasn’t in a hurry; someone else was.

Guan Yu, unable to move easily, anxiously wailed, "Li Yang! You blocked the deflating, aren’t you responsible?!"

Li Yang screeched to a halt at the door, looked back at her, and said, "Sister Guan Yu, come over here, didn’t the director say there’s a car?"

"...But I need to be able to get there!"

Li Yang scratched his nose, and out of the principle of conscience and respect for seniors, he went back to help her.

Everyone was busy with their own things, the couple busy conversing, the cheerful duo busying themselves baring their teeth while solving Guan Yu’s transport problem, and Shi Yuhuai already walked out and was waiting for them at the gate.

Shu Ran took the tissue handed by her assistant, quietly watching them, and suddenly felt a genuine smile forming inside.

This kind of liveliness was different from the familiar liveliness she’d faked for the camera in previous variety shows—

Everyone seems to be on the edge of their boundaries, actively or passively, taking a step to connect with someone else’s domain.

Adult friendships don’t need to be too deep, this beginning was already good enough.

"Sister Shu Ran! Hurry up, we’re going back to eat!"

In the time she took to daydream, the others had already reached the door, waiting for her.

Shu Ran shoved the crumpled tissues back to the assistant and walked over, "Coming, coming!"

Three minutes later, six people got on the group vehicle.

Fiery red color scheme, gigantic capacity, wind-chasing speed.

In a rickshaw sat five eccentrically dressed people, the one in the middle was a toy balloon sitting in the carriage, and the one driving ahead was a swagster covered in gold chains.

If only the driver had a cigarette, these people wouldn’t look like they were going back for dinner but going to the village entrance for a fight.

Mu Qiu and Guan Yu were unusually silent, Shu Ran and Shi Yuhuai lowered their heads to cover their faces, and Cheng Zhirang was still advising Li Yang in front.

"Slow down, be safe."

Li Yang, a simple child looking forward to sitting in a car and returning to the hotel, was feeling quite conflicted at this point.

The director didn’t forget to mess with them at the end! Look at how high their back glance rate was, the staff along the road were all laughing at them!

Guan Yu, hugging the leg of the inflatable suit, tried to shrink her occupied space out of grievance, showing a bittersweet smile to the two small cameras following behind.

The sun was setting in the west, and the tricycle carried people on the road.
