I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 89: The Gorgeous Uncle Duo

Speaking seriously, Mu Qiu could only nod to express her misfortune.

"It’s not like there’s anyone else besides me anyway."

"Have you ever thought about bringing an assistant? You have somewhat of a reputation now, right? Fortunately, someone with deep pockets booked this plane just for us; otherwise, you and Brother Cheng would be surrounded by fans... Did Brother Cheng specifically come to pick you up?"

Mu Qiu leaned back, looking exasperated: "You’re even more imaginative than I am. I was just thinking how fated it is that I met Brother Cheng; I ran into him just when I couldn’t carry my stuff anymore."

Her standard smile and expression of speechlessness were clearly to avoid any misunderstandings with the male actor.

Guan Yu clicked her tongue but didn’t pursue the matter further.

Outside in the airport hallway, fans who recognized them began gathering, jumping up and down, screaming quietly. Even the airport security couldn’t contain their excitement.

The crowed grew bigger, forming a wall pointing at a few people inside, chattering incessantly. The security shouted for quiet several times, but to no avail.

Sitting beside them, Cheng Zhirang turned his head and said something to Assistant Wen, then gestured to the fans outside to be quiet.

Half of the fans inside covered their mouths, refraining from speaking, clutching their friends’ hands in overwhelming excitement. Others who still wanted to cause a commotion were quieted by an authoritative female voice,

"Didn’t you see Brother Cheng signalling for quiet?! Don’t make a fuss!"

Everyone fell silent. Assistant Wen stood up and walked toward the innermost circle of fans, kindly persuading them to leave regardless of whether they were Cheng Zhi fans or not, explaining things patiently.

"The director said we can board the plane," Guan Yu announced, "Let’s go up first and wait for others."

Cheng Zhirang stood up and, with a gentlemanly gesture, bent over to Mu Qiu and said, "Let me help you."

With that, he took her suitcase from her hands. Mu Qiu glanced at the fans outside with the corner of her eye, noticed the two other assistants carrying luggage, and quickly bowed down, repeatedly thanking Brother Cheng.

To everyone’s surprise, Cheng Zhi had no objections and didn’t speak at all. She only buzzed with excited vibrations when Cheng Zhirang waved goodbye to them.

Mu Qiu followed behind Cheng Zhirang, her gaze pure, looking up at the back of his head, shoulders, and his posture when talking with people beside him.

Some budding thought in her mind seemed ready to sprout.

...

They entered the business class, where the space was spacious. Cheng Zhirang lifted Mu Qiu’s suitcase into the overhead compartment, the muscles in his arm tensing, giving his simple casual wear some curvature.

"Wipe your drool, Brother Cheng’s clothes are about to be burnt through by your gaze."

Next to her, Guan Yu’s teasing voice drifted over.

Mu Qiu wiped her mouth, pretending she actually had drool, then leaned back in her seat, sighing: "So amazing, Brother Cheng single-handedly elevated my standards for choosing a spouse."

"You mean I’m single because I’ve seen too many handsome male celebrities?"

"Which handsome male celebrities have you seen?"

Shu Ran suddenly turned around, joining the conversation.

Both Guan Yu and Mu Qiu were momentarily stunned.

The atmosphere suddenly felt a bit tense. Cheng Zhirang, having placed the luggage, sat down in the frontmost seat and didn’t join the three girls’ conversation, while the three assistants quietly took their seats, conscientiously staying out of the conversation.

Mu Qiu slowly turned to look at Guan Yu.

Guan Yu: "...... Let me think, to honestly name particularly handsome male celebrities, besides Brother Cheng, I really have to think hard. Ah, Li Yang and Brother Huai aren’t bad either, oh, and Su Yan!"

Shu Ran didn’t seem to notice the shift in the atmosphere and proactively threw out the next question: "Besides those who came on our show? I once met a particularly striking newcomer while shooting a magazine before."

Attractive men have always been a shared interest among women.

Guan Yu genuinely picked up Shu Ran’s topic: "Really? Who? Have they acted in dramas, or are they an idol like Li Yang?"

Mu Qiu also quietly leaned in.

Shu Ran’s smile deepened, and she appeared enthusiastic: "A new actor, just graduated from Hai City Drama Academy. I heard he was scouted by many directors during his school days. He’s about to work with a decent director, shooting promo photos with the original author and the female lead."

Mu Qiu felt there was no solid concept, so she whispered: "How handsome? Compared to Brother Cheng?"

Shu Ran mysteriously shook her head, "Though the entertainment industry is full of good-looking people, I haven’t seen many who could compare to Brother Cheng."

"There is one," Guan Yu suddenly said, her eyes lighting up, "In our beauty reconnaissance circle, he and Brother Cheng are both known as the impeccably handsome uncles."

"...... Impeccably handsome uncle?"

"Never fear a playboy flirting ambiguously; fear an uncle at thirty. If we must separate them, it’s that in this duo, Brother Cheng accounts for 60% of the beauty, while the other guy accounts for the remaining beauty with additional ’uncle’ charm."

Shu Ran had an epiphany, "You mean, Jiang Lu?"

"Yes!"

Jiang Lu? Mu Qiu found it hard to put a face to the name, but it immediately sounded like a staple in a romance drama.

Guan Yu, seeing her expression which didn’t seem to genuinely reflect recognition, handed her phone to Mu Qiu to look up a photo online.

When Mu Qiu took a look at the phone, boy, did it challenge her usual understanding of handsome guys.

Cheng Zhirang appeared gentle and restrained, while this Jiang Lu seemed like the alluring, flirtatious type. The smile at the corner of his mouth combined with those eyes felt as if he was whispering softly and laughing by her ear in real life.

Indeed, he was past the frivolous playboy phase and exuded a flirtatious vibe.

Guan Yu waved her hand in front of her eyes, "What’s wrong, are you engrossed again? Have you already forgotten Brother Cheng by the Daming Lake?"

Mu Qiu covered her mouth, fearing her tears would slip from the corners.

"My eyes have been purified."

"Looks like not just your eyes, but your whole self has ascended, your soul seems to be floating upwards outside the airplane window." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Just as she finished speaking, Mu Qiu hadn’t even had a chance to retort when energetic young voices came from the boarding gate.

"Booking the plane for us for the program?! They’re so generous?"

"Hey, Brother Cheng, are you all here already?"

Li Yang strutted in with his suitcase, donned in black ripped jeans and a white t-shirt, even tying a striped shirt around his waist for decoration. His hairstyle, befitting a trending idol, was done up with blue-dyed Sailor Moon highlights.

He single-handedly raised the youthful and trendy vibes of everyone on the plane.

And the temperature of the hemisphere he was in.

He placed his luggage up top, while Guan Yu stared at his ripped pants, "Yangyang, ripped pants aren’t good for your joints, they could lead to gout."

"......"

Li Yang looked down at his ripped pants, unsure whether to critique her choice of words or the statement itself.

"Just call me by my name, sis. You’re scaring me a bit otherwise. Also, sis, I’m still young, my joints are fine."

Guan Yu: "Are you implying I’m not young then?"

"Stop teasing me, I’m getting nervous now."

Although not yet familiar with each other, they could joke around since there were no cameras.

Shu Ran gave him a glance without commenting on his topic, instead shifting focus to the last missing person: "Oh, we’re just waiting for Brother Huai, Li Yang, did you see Brother Huai?"

"I did," Li Yang replied, sitting next to them and leaving the front spot vacant, "But Brother Huai seemed to be talking with, uh, Sister Banyan from last time, so I didn’t wait for him."
