I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 263: Meme War
As the saying goes, eating alone without watching a show halves the taste of the meal.
Surrounded by a table full of delicious food, Mu Qiu contentedly opened her tablet.
Only to discover that at some point, Guan Yu had pulled them into a real account group chat.
The group’s name still had that slightly flamboyant tone, with two extra characters added.
[Where Beauties Lurk (Official)]
Mu Qiu rolled her eyes at the bone soup and clicked to open it.
[Guan Yu: Li Yang, take your time leaving, I’ve taken care of your stuff, no need to thank me/image]
The picture was a selfie of half of Guan Yu’s face with a table full of food behind her.
Including the boneless spicy chicken feet she had just sent out via her assistant and some relieving cool desserts.
Li Yang replied underneath:
[Li Yang: I envy you, I’m sitting in the car crying]
[Shu Ran: Brother Huai said you clearly weren’t crying.jpg]
[Shi Yuhuai: ......]
[Guan Yu: Want to meme fight? I’ve collected a ton of memes online.]
[Li Yang: Don’t you all have other work???]
[Shu Ran: Right now, I’m just focused on this show, other magazine shoots have been scheduled for later]
[Guan Yu: What work do I have? Isn’t it just this variety show? Occasionally going back to rehearse a skit from Monday to Friday, that’s it]
[Shi Yuhuai: The fashion show is in June]
[Cheng Zhirang: My roles for this year aren’t decided yet]
[Mu Qiu: I don’t even need to say, I’m the king of working online]
[Li Yang: Li Yang cries out loud.jpg]
[Li Yang: Small eyes, big grievance.jpg]
[Guan Yu: Travel safely, we’ll handle enjoying the food for you]
[Shi Yuhuai: Image]
[Guan Yu: These chicken feet are really delicious/image]
[Cheng Zhirang: Crawfish is also good/image]
[Mu Qiu: It’s time to show my dinner image too/image]
[Shu Ran: Actually, chicken thighs aren’t bad/image]
[Li Yang: I can’t take this injustice; I’m going on Weibo to tell everyone how overboard you guys are; even when I’m leaving, you won’t let me go]
[Guan Yu: Alright, see you on Weibo in a minute]
Mu Qiu thought, this is probably where Li Yang goes on Weibo to accuse them of tempting him with images, and then Guan Yu responds with more pics beneath.
It’s none of her business; she’ll just check out Li Yang’s Weibo later.
So she comfortably continued scrolling through short videos.
After finishing her main course and leisurely enjoying her spicy chicken feet and crawfish, Zhao Yu, who hadn’t been seen living in their friend circle for a while, suddenly sent her a long string of images.
[Zhao Yu: These pictures are all curated and captured by me; you have to win this battle!]
[???]
[What are you talking about]
[Zhao Yu: Meme war!]
[Zhao Yu: Can’t you wake up! .jpg]
[Zhao Yu: Go! Use these memes I’ve given you to defeat Guan Yu!]
[...Let me take a look first.]
She climbed onto Weibo to refresh, and Guan Yu’s updates automatically appeared.
[Guan Yu V: Thanks to the ultimate combo, Qiuqiu, for the midnight snack, here’s a picture to flaunt our Sand Alliance relationship. PS: Some people didn’t get to eat, so pitiful]
The picture below was her excitedly riding a tricycle with eyes blown shut by the wind inside a tricycle compartment.
The text on the picture read: "Chasing hope in the direction of the wind."
Mu Qiu: "......"
Speechless.
She decided not to continue eating chicken feet or crawfish, removed her disposable gloves, and started saving all the images Zhao Yu sent like crazy.
[Wait and see, I’m entering the battlefield to defeat her now!]
[Zhao Yu: Go for it! I support you with meme resources!]
[Bring more, I know everyone in your office is watching this show.]
[Zhao Yu: Sure, sure, you just fight, I’ll get memes for you! Tonight’s goal is to beat them and become the ultimate meme king!]
[I won’t fail the mission!]
After saving the images, Mu Qiu carefully selected one that could be a counter attack and reposted Guan Yu’s Weibo.
[Mu Qiu: Sister Guan Yu, if you insist on doing this, then I can only post this //Guan Yu V: ......]
The image showed Guan Yu, deflated and lying on the ground in an inflatable outfit, with text: "Facing the yellow soil, I can still plow two more miles."
Li Yang rushed over to comment below: Hahahahahahaha, I have a picture too! You must see this!
The image was of Mu Qiu and Guan Yu with their hands stacked together cheering, but who knows who captioned it: "Reached consensus, Sand Alliance will never break."
[Mu Qiu: ...Thanks, that cracked me up.]
Fans from all sides came flooding in with pictures, tagging their idols in various ways.
And then, the rest quickly arrived at the "battlefield," with even the official account of the show pulling some stunts.
[Different Variety Show Official: I want to join the fight! Register with a picture!]
The image was of six people sitting on a tricycle, leaving with sadness, text: "Missed market opening time for cosplay, sadness."
[Shu Ran V: I have one too!]
The picture was of Li Yang holding scaffolding, looking up at Mu Qiu, text: "Yangyang envying these people’s clothes."
[Li Yang V replies to Shu Ran V: Sister Shu Ran, then I have no choice but to apologize, see the picture]
The picture showed Shu Ran wearing a qipao, sitting on a donkey cart with a grim face, text: "Damn! My darling donkey has no brakes!"
Mu Qiu, seeing this picture, burst out laughing out of the blue with hardly any defense, simultaneously couldn’t help but long-press to save it.
Net-surfing citizens are just too creative.
[Mu Qiu comments on Li Yang V: Where did you guys get so many memes? The show just ended.]
[Li Yang V comments on Mu Qiu: From the people.]
Mu Qiu was just about to reply about going to the people, when suddenly a comment from Shi Yuhuai, who tagged the other five, caught her attention.
[Shi Yuhuai: There’s a surprise here, can’t post it, come check my Weibo.]
A perfectly good sentence made it sound like preparing for battle. Only this straight guy with long legs and handsome looks could pull it off.
She followed the instructions over to Shi Yuhuai’s Weibo.
The latest post had just one sentence:
[Shi Yuhuai V: This show is great, must request it at the next annual party.]
He even posted a video.
Opening it was "inspirational," with chillingly familiar music, and then five people appeared on screen.
Five oddly dressed people circled around a bizarre rainbow sunflower, singing and dancing, as if performing a ritual.
The video was quite shaky at times, and it was clear the person filming was trying to suppress laughter, causing tremors.
"......" When was this recorded? What an eye-burning thing!
Mu Qiu placed her phone face down, covering her eyes, unable to directly face it.
...But the music was so captivating that she genuinely wanted to see how her performance looked from a third-party perspective.
After watching for half a minute,
well, her dance wasn’t the stiffest nor the most flamboyant, her singing wasn’t the loudest nor the most off-key.
Being a moderate presence in this video was her greatest hope.
After sighing with relief, she went on to look at everyone else’s reactions.
There were plenty more people who were even more shocked and speechless than she was.
[Li Yang: ...That can’t be me, someone impersonated me.]
[Guan Yu: I can’t believe I’m the best singer]
[Mu Qiu comments on Guan Yu V: Don’t doubt it, you’re also the most graceful dancer, the most striking in the whole scene]
[Shu Ran: ??? When was this secretly filmed??/cat with teary eyes questioning you.jpg]
[Cheng Zhirang: ......]
