I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 359: Wasn’t That a Bit Too Rushed?

"The success lecture of ’Loves Roasted Garlic’ made the few people behind itch to go up and drag the person down."

Fortunately, the director probably couldn’t bear it anymore, and promptly had the staff bring out the reward.

This time it was white crystal, teardrop-shaped, with an irregular cut surface, as the orange-red afterglow sprinkled down, reflecting shimmering light.

There was a short silver chain hanging from the brooch, simply dangling down. At first glance, Mu Qiu thought it must look great pinned on a dark suit jacket.

She carefully put the crystal brooch away, allowing the staff to pin the MVP red armband on them.

In past episodes, after the staff pinned the red armbands, there would be a segment mocking the storyline.

But today, the staff took two seconds to snap it on them, and immediately turned around to leave, as if rushing to the next scene.

Once they left, the photographer charged in snapping away, finished shooting, and left as well. Finally, the director raised a small megaphone and sped up as he said, "Alright, congratulations to our champion group! Now you can go freshen up and rest a bit, we’ll gather here at eight!"

Mu Qiu and her group were about to raise their hands to applaud themselves, only for the director to fast-forward the progress bar. They stared in bewilderment at the retreating staff and were led by the few people behind them towards the seaside villa.

"Wait, wait a second, is the process moving so fast?"

Shu Ran: "The director can’t bear listening to your success talks anymore either."

Li Yang: "The director wishes he could cut this segment out."

Mu Qiu instinctively followed them and turned to look at the director. He was busy collecting stools, commanding other staff to take the barbecue rack.

"...Too hasty, isn’t it?"

Shi Yuhuai passed by her and glanced down: "I think it’s great."

Rather than listening to their rambling nonsense, he thought manually fast-forwarding was quite commendable.

Mu Qiu was momentarily choked by his words.

The three sheepishly caught up, Cheng Zhirang was last to leave, looking at the main camera in the middle of the beach, he walked over and greeted the camera.

"Everyone can also go rest a bit, have a good dinner, drink some water, let your eyes rest, and come back at eight."

After speaking, he warmly smiled and joined the group in heading towards the beach villa.

Unaware of the huge wave his actions stirred up on the bullet screen.

[Okay, Brother!! It’s a date, see you at eight!]

[Brother, ahhhh, I’m on-site, waiting for you!]

[Facial beauty dazzled me, I held my breath]

[Sudden close-up and I only saw one glance! Brother Mei Yan, come back again]

[Years of experience tell me, those who honestly stare at the screen always have surprises/dog head]

[Brother Cheng!!]

[Brother, take a good rest!!! Soak in a bath, catch some sleep, you’ve been busy all day!]

[Hurry and order barbecue takeout, I want to have barbecue with Brother at eight]

[This is indeed kind of hasty hahahahahahahaha]

[Brother Cheng! We made a date!]

[One close-up and many aged Cheng Zhi exploded]

[Brother asked to eat dinner, I’m going to the bathroom and eat dinner]

[Excited to spin around in circles on the spot!!!]

[Looking forward to the barbecue session later]

...

After playing all day, everyone was somewhat exhausted. They returned to the beach villa and each greeted before sluggishly retreating to their rooms.

The lively atmosphere cooled down instantly, Mu Qiu rubbed her smiling cheeks until sore, clasped her hands behind to stretch, greeted Guan Yu, and walked to her room door.

Just about to turn the handle to enter, a man’s legs lingered at the next room’s entrance in her peripheral. Her raised eyes discreetly scanned the other rooms before stepping toward the neighboring room.

Approaching without saying anything, she raised her eyes to look at him.

Cheng Zhirang paused his motion to open the door, gazed at her gently, didn’t ask anything, and led her inside once the door was open.

The others were too tired and had long returned to their own rooms. Only Shi Yuhuai, opening his door last, saw the two enter Cheng Zhirang’s room together.

But he always minds his own business, even if he noticed he didn’t care, he just went back to his own.

Mu Qiu entered Cheng Zhirang’s room once again.

Cheng Zhirang walked ahead, after entering he turned around to ask her.

"Do you have something you want to say to me?"

Mu Qiu raised her eyes to meet his gaze, extended the hand behind her, released its grasp, revealing a teardrop-shaped white crystal brooch resting in her palm.

"Pairing this with the dark blue suit from the last show would look amazing."

She knew he bought that suit.

Cheng Zhirang observed the crystal brooch, picked it up, and naturally took her hand, leading her to the head of the bed.

Then in front of her, he took out a wooden box, inside was a dark brown leather accessory pouch, he carefully fit the brooch into the leather pouch, tilting his head he softly said:

"I’ll wear it next time for you to see."

"Sure."

Giving a gift meant hoping he’d treat it seriously, hoping he’d show it off for her to prove her taste was indeed correct, she liked his attitude.

Her lips curved an upward moment for a moment, she asked him: "Why have a dedicated box?"

It looked like something that might belong to a girl who’s into traditional styles.

Cheng Zhirang: "Sister Chen prepared it, saying these accessories are valuable. I often connect with many people, to prevent them from taken mistakenly, they need to be stored properly."

Actually, having a couple taken mistakenly, in terms of value doesn’t affect him much.

But the entertainment industry is crowded and complex, an artist’s personal items mistakenly taken is troublesome, easily exploited by someone to stir up drama, possibly leading to a scandal.

Therefore, Chen Song asked him to sort these items properly, and had Assistant Wen specially buy many leather pouches.

As for the wooden box, Assistant Wen felt these accessories were valuable enough to deserve an equally valued box for storage, customized at a high cost.

Mu Qiu nodded, considering his suits and the decorative pieces he wore, they seemed quite expensive, indeed needed proper storage.

"Uh—" As if there wasn’t much else to say, she prepared to return to her room to freshen up, "I came to give this to you, now I have, so should I head back?"

"Okay," Cheng Zhirang stood and escorted her, holding her hand to open the door for her, his mellow and gentle voice made her feel utterly convinced inside,

"After you go back, you can take a bath. Later someone will deliver food, have some porridge and then rest a bit, no need to set an alarm, I’ll knock and call you."

After speaking, his palm gently covered her head, rubbing slightly, "Rest well, tell me what you’d like to eat."

Mu Qiu’s head lightly nudged his palm twice, her voice softened: "Okay."

Mu Qiu closed his door and returned to her room.

Once back, she closed the curtains and turned on the light, covered all spots where she suspected there might be micro-cameras, then ran hot water, took off her clothes, and headed into the bathroom.

The program group’s treatment is really great, a separate seaside room, each room even has a bathtub, the bathroom’s quite spacious, and there’s a glass window above, the orange-red sunset streaming in beautifully.

And then in such a beautiful setting, just as she turned on the showerhead, Mu Qiu discovered an "adorable little buddy" beside her.
