I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 338: Brother Cheng, Good Afternoon...
Mu Qiu and the others were still chatting.
Sitting cross-legged made her legs numb, so she awkwardly changed her position, squatting while hugging her knees and speaking softly with Guan Yu and the others.
"From the sounds, it seems quite intense over there."
Guan Yu: "I’ve heard Tang Zi and Li Yang scream several times."
Ye Mian: "It was pretty intense. Before I came over, I saw Brother Huai going up against Li Yang."
Mu Qiu: "That fierce? Starting with team members first?"
Guan Yu: "Brother Huai’s arms are full of food stickers. How many people wouldn’t be tempted? Anyway, I’m quite tempted, it’s three skewers of pork belly. Pork belly sizzling on the grill, sprinkled with cumin..."
A swallowing sound mixed into the description.
Guan Yu wiped her mouth: "Sorry, I’m indeed a bit hungry."
"Actually, I’m also tempted," Mu Qiu subtly swallowed and said, "Brother Cheng’s oysters, Brother Huai’s scallions and pork belly, Sister Shu Ran’s veggies."
Ye Mian said eerily: "You even want to snatch Brother Cheng’s oysters?"
Guan Yu said subtly: "That’s not all."
What’s an oyster? She even wants to snatch the person.
Mu Qiu coughed twice: "What, I can’t eat oysters? If I can’t snatch Brother Cheng, can’t I go for Fu... okay, I can’t. Then I’ll snatch Li Yang!"
Guan Yu: "You mean in your dreams while sitting with your eyes closed?"
With their plan to lie low until the end of time, talking about snatching this or that was just daydreaming.
Mu Qiu propped her chin, moved around in the cardboard box, and said: "Otherwise, how about we use the last ten minutes to go snatch something too?"
Ye Mian: "I think we can go out now. They’re all fighting solo, but we three might have an advantage."
Guan Yu nodded and turned to the side, peeking through the armhole towards Mu Qiu in the next box, saying: "We can use one person as bait, and then ambush them when they take the bait!"
Mu Qiu: "In theory, this method could... hmm???"
The cardboard box over her head was suddenly lifted, and Mu Qiu, hugging her knees while squatting, looked up dazedly at the person who came.
After her box was lifted, Guan Yu’s and Ye Mian’s were too. The three of them were discussing their ambush plan when their boxes were suddenly lifted, and they squinted, confused by the sudden light, looking at the person who exposed them.
"...Ha, hello? Good afternoon, Brother Cheng."
Cheng Zhirang placed the box aside. Despite the beads of sweat on his forehead, he still looked pleasing to the eyes, and his voice was gentle and elegant.
"Good afternoon."
The three of them, some crouching and some sitting, all looked up at him, sneakily covering the food stickers on their arms with their hands.
The next minute was silent mutual staring. They cautiously watched Cheng Zhirang, while he gently smiled at them.
After a while, he glanced around and said, "You picked a good spot. If not for being on the beach, I could have missed you."
Mu Qiu and the others chuckled awkwardly.
Guan Yu: "Mostly because the scenery is particularly good here, so we’re just resting. Brother Cheng, you’re not here to snatch from us, right?"
Cheng Zhirang’s semi-permanent smile remained: "I won’t snatch from you."
The three collectively sighed in relief: "Then..."
"I’ll snatch your food stickers."
"!!!"
Mu Qiu immediately held onto her food stickers tightly. With her squatting position hugging her knees, she looked like she was curling into a ball.
She sneakily turned her head to look at Guan Yu and Ye Mian, and winked.
Guan Yu replied with her eyes: Really going to be this bold?
Mu Qiu: Do we just wait to be wiped out?
Ye Mian: I don’t think now’s the right time, looking at Brother Cheng’s arm that could take all three of us.
Mu Qiu: Ye Mian just said to go, Sister Guan Yu, what about you?
Guan Yu: Did Ye Mian really say that???
Ye Mian: Did I misunderstand? Why are your signal exchanges so long?
Mu Qiu: See, she agreed. Let’s go, we can’t be decimated! Since Brother Cheng stumbled upon us, it’s fate’s doing!
They intensely communicated with raised eyebrows, while Cheng Zhirang stood there watching, as their brows twitched. His clear and smooth voice interrupted them.
"Done? Squatting too long makes your legs numb. I think you should stand and stretch."
Whoa, this is pure provocation! A declaration of war! How can one stand this?!
Go! Show him some colors!
You two grab his hands, I’ll snag his leg!
Guan Yu’s eyes immediately filled with fighting spirit, raising her brows almost chaotically.
Mu Qiu blinked to respond, then lifted her head as if to stand up: "Brother Cheng, how did you find us here?"
Using conversation to distract him, letting Guan Yu and Ye Mian stand and prepare.
Cheng Zhirang knew they had some plan brewing, but couldn’t figure it out yet, and gently answered Mu Qiu’s question:
"Earlier with the water balloon game, wasn’t there a high platform? You could see far from there. Plus, you hid a bit slow, not just I saw you."
Mu Qiu stood up, stretched her ankle, and shifted her gaze to his arm, stepping forward two steps.
"Brother Cheng, you have so many food stickers, can I look..."
As she spoke, her hand reached for the closest squid sticker on his arm; her wrist was suddenly blocked, and Cheng Zhirang stepped back.
Mu Qiu wasn’t about to let him go easily.
Boldly, she quickly reversed her grip to seize his small arm, then hung her weight down completely.
"Number one chicken, number four bamboo! Hurry, hurry!"
Guan Yu and Ye Mian darted forward swiftly.
Guan Yu’s tone took a mischievous turn: "Here we come!"
Their speed was indeed quick, and Cheng Zhirang instinctively tried to dodge, but couldn’t in time.
Ye Mian targeted his left hand, grabbing quickly to hang on it like Mu Qiu, while Guan Yu pounced on the ground, hugging his leg, thoroughly inhibiting his movement.
Cheng Zhirang rarely showed such an incredulous expression.
He expected someone might grab his arm, but didn’t anticipate Guan Yu would go so far as to clutch his thigh...
Taking advantage of his restrained state, Mu Qiu sneakily freed two fingers to grab the food stickers on his arm.
One, two, ripping them away, the satisfying sound made her blood boil with excitement.
Oysters, squid, even abalone...
"Stop messing around, come down first."
Cheng Zhirang said resignedly. If he let them continue, he’d be watching others eat tonight.
Yet the three paid no heed, and Mu Qiu went on trying to grab the second oyster by his elbow.
Cheng Zhirang had no options, using the leg seized by Guan Yu as a pivot, he shifted his stance, then briskly yanked his left hand back.
Ye Mian ended up tossed on the sand, lying.
Guan Yu, hugging his thigh, looked surprise at Ye Mian, who lay on the sand equally bewildered, swallowing.
Oh my, Cheng Zhirang’s arm strength was formidable. Would she be flung away in a moment too?
