I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 364: Praise Me, Praise Me Hard

Three barbecue grills were set up on the beach, with the staff busily sprinkling seasoning powder on the skewers.

As soon as the seasoning was sprinkled, the aroma surged like fire meeting oil, stimulating everyone’s taste buds and making mouths water.

However, this intense aroma was only coming from the grill at the far end.

Mu Qiu and Guan Yu joyfully ran towards their group’s barbecue grill. Li Yang stared longingly at their barbecue before slowly moving towards his own group.

Looking at the barbecue grill in front of him, there really wasn’t even a pinch of salt on those skewers!

"Director! Seriously?! Is this for real?! We don’t have any other seasonings, but at least there should be some salt, right?!"

Without salt, the barbecue would taste like it’s missing half its flavor!

The director leisurely replied to him, "Everything goes according to the rules."

Translation: Yes, there’s not even salt. You didn’t put in the effort earlier, so now you just have to accept it.

Li Yang looked utterly incredulous, staring at those sizzling skewers, unable to help but swallow hard twice.

Damn, at this point, without any seasoning, it’s simply unlivable. At least next door had some chili powder; but here, all they had were some scallions that would instantly burn on the fire — unbearable.

This was "pushing good people to do wrong"! Forcing them to snatch seasonings!

He looked up at Shi Yuhuai and Cheng Zhirang standing beside him and asked, "Bro, should we go... hmm hmm hmm?"

Cheng Zhirang: "...Since when did you learn to speak like Guan Yu and her group?"

Li Yang scratched his head, thinking, and used a famous quote from Shu Ran: "Everything is for life."

"......"

Shi Yuhuai reached for a skewer of vegetables, which was one of the only two vegetable skewers, still the leeks that Guan Yu specifically exchanged for them.

Without oil and salt, flipping it over and over was no different from burning leaves on fire.

Too tragic, truly too tragic.

For those full of anticipation for a barbecue feast, it was a bit cruel.

Shi Yuhuai placed the burnt leaf down and stared at Li Yang, asking, "Are we going?"

Li Yang: "......Let’s go!"

There didn’t need to be a lot of description of this operation; both of them understood each other’s thoughts with just these simple words.

And they were ready to take action.

Cheng Zhirang looked at the two of them, ready to go, but still tried to persuade them a bit, "Maybe we could borrow some seasoning by speaking nicely?"

Li Yang: "I bet Sister Guan Yu isn’t that kind-hearted."

Shi Yuhuai nodded in agreement.

The grudges accumulated during the day wouldn’t be easily resolved.

Cheng Zhirang: "So, are we really going to snatch? What should we snatch?"

Li Yang: "Oil, we need at least oil, right?"

Shi Yuhuai: "Salt is a must too. Barbecue powder, chili powder would be nice as well."

These demands basically meant they intended to snatch all the seasonings Mu Qiu’s group had.

Li Yang wasn’t as bold, looking at him with admiration, "Brother Huai, you really dare to think big; we’re here to snatch, not to shop. No need to make a list, right?"

Shi Yuhuai stepped back, "Then just oil, salt, and barbecue powder. If possible, we could snatch the barbecue too."

"......Bold, you’re still the boldest."

"But it’s not just us thinking this," Cheng Zhirang said, looking at the equally miserable barbecue stand next door, "Shu Ran and the others have already made their move."

Li Yang immediately turned to look.

Shu Ran’s group had the least food, and having little was one thing, but they had no seasonings either. Sprinkling their only chili powder wasn’t an option, as Shu Ran and Tang Zi both didn’t eat too spicy.

So it made no difference. Plus, they had quite a few vegetables, without oil and salt, grilling would be just as eating charred leaves, even less bearable than Li Yang’s group.

Shu Ran had already set her sights on the group next door.

That was a real barbecue stand, lots of food, plenty of seasonings, with Guan Yu and the other two so happy they almost broke into song and dance.

By contrast, their two groups were both in a miserable gray zone.

The difference was too big, making people think about things they shouldn’t.

Shu Ran asked Tang Zi and Fu Ran, "What do we do?"

Fu Ran: "Snatch."

Tang Zi asked, "Is it okay?"

Shu Ran rolled her eyes subtly, her face not looking pleasant when facing someone in an outfit similar to hers. Walking over, she regretted speaking nicely during the day.

An opponent is an opponent; should’ve let her run headlong into Cheng Zhirang’s shoes, then this "beauty competition" wouldn’t have arisen.

Wearing similar clothes and being in the same group, what a hassle.

Taking advantage of the night’s blurry footage, she brazenly rolled her eyes, saying, "If you think of it, you can do it. I can’t stand a skewer of vegetables turning yellow and charred."

"Then let’s go," Fu Ran was ready to step forward, "Waiting too long and someone else will beat us to it."

Shu Ran was startled; indeed, there were others intending to snatch as well.

So they got straight to it, the last-place trio walked directly towards the neighboring group, targeting the seasonings... plus the barbecue.

The three moved aggressively, with three others pretending to be onlookers while gradually closing in; Mu Qiu’s little barbecue stand was immediately surrounded.

Guan Yu stood in front of the grill, "What are you doing?"

Shu Ran smiled elegantly, "Wanted to borrow some seasonings from you all."

Guan Yu then asked the three tall and sturdy ones behind, "And what about you?"

Shi Yuhuai: "Looking at how they borrow seasonings."

All here to "borrow" seasonings, Guan Yu turned back and exchanged a glance with Mu Qiu and Ye Mian. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Mu Qiu took out two little bottles from the crossbar under the grill and handed one to Ye Mian, then started doing business right there.

"A bottle of salted barbecue powder, a bottle of barbecue oil, can be exchanged for a skewer of vegetables."

Guan Yu: "Isn’t this price beautiful? No need for nine-nine-eight, nor six-six-eight, just eighty-eight cents, and you can take it home!"

Shu Ran: "......Too expensive, wouldn’t snatching be more cost-effective?"

"Is this expensive?! Shu Ran, where’s your image as a female celebrity?! Arguing over the price of a vegetable skewer, isn’t that being a bit stingy?!"

Shu Ran remained indifferent, "I’ve got just a few vegetable skewers for the three of us to eat. Now you’re asking us to trade our vegetables for seasonings, so who’s being stingy here?"

"Of course, it’s you being stingy."

"So are you lending or not?!"

Mu Qiu popped out from the back, "Oh wow, people borrowing things are fiercer than creditors! We don’t serve such customers!"

"Then I’d have no choice but to snatch."

Guan Yu: "You can snatch, I’m ready to take a lick anytime."

Shu Ran: "......

This approach is ruthless.

Li Yang clicked his tongue twice, "Licking meat off the fire, you’re something else."

Guan Yu put her hands on her hips, "Small trick, not worth mentioning. Honestly, if you spoke nicely, it’s not like we wouldn’t lend it to you."

Li Yang: "Would you be that kind?"

"Don’t know how to speak? Let the elder talk, kid."

Li Yang: "......"

She pointed around at various skewers to show off, saying, "We’re just three girls, already having so many skewers. Seasonings are no big deal... As long as you do one thing, seasonings or even a skewer of meat can be given to you for free."

Shi Yuhuai: "What thing?"

"Praise us, use the most beautiful words to praise fiercely, no need to hold back!"

"......" It made them want to give up right then and there.
