I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 374: You’re Freaking Amazing!

Zhao Yu was so excited that she could barely speak. After two sharp yells, she praised her fiercely.

"Mu Qiu, you’re freaking amazing! You managed to turn this secret crush into reality!"

"I’ll repeat once more, I don’t have a secret crush..."

Just as the words "secret crush" left her mouth, the door was knocked on.

Mu Qiu paused and went to open the door. Cheng Zhirang stood at the entrance with a suitcase, saying, "I still have some stuff here."

"Come in, I’ll make a phone call."

On the other side, Zhao Yu became like a chicken with its throat squeezed, no longer screaming nor exclaiming, her voice mysterious: "Is it Brother Mei Yan?"

"...Yes."

She held up her phone and walked to the window, giving Cheng Zhirang space to pack his things. Since the person they were discussing was present, the phone conversation instantly felt like a secretive underground meeting.

Zhao Yu couldn’t contain her excitement even while lowering her voice: "Holy shit, Mu Qiu, you’re incredible, he came into your room?!"

"Technically, this is his room."

"...Wow, you two are playing it big right from the start?!"

Mu Qiu was speechless: "Can you control your imagination?"

Zhao Yu: "You’re in his room, he still knocks to come in, you guys aren’t playing... Oh, you switched rooms, right? But why would you switch rooms? Could it be—"

"There was just a gecko in my room," Mu Qiu’s voice was cool, "Could you use the brain you think about Su Yan’s rumors with to consider my situation?"

"Speaking of my Su Yan, you managed to wrap Cheng Zhirang in just a month, do you think I could one day get Su Yan as well?!!!"

"You might as well have a glass of red wine and dream a good dream tonight."

"..." Zhao Yu sighed, "True, I’d have to deal with Lin Banyan first. I can’t stand it, my heart’s aching. It hurts so much, I need some tips from you on charming guys to soothe me."

"There are no tips."

"Joking, without tips how did you manage to snag Cheng Zhirang, someone who’s seen hundreds of beauties in the showbiz!"

Mu Qiu turned her head to look at Cheng Zhirang, who was standing elegantly by the bed, his side profile looked incredibly handsome.

After a moment, she softly said to Zhao Yu, "Do you think it could be that my personal charm is too..."

"Impossible."

"...Could you at least let me finish my sentence before refuting?"

Zhao Yu laughed twice on the other end of the line, then leaned closer to her phone and said:

"Don’t doubt it, it’s your personal charm that conquered him! You have talent and a great figure, even if you can’t compare to other seductive women, you were still the class flower back in school, right?" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Mu Qiu felt utterly content hearing this: "I just love people who speak the truth like you."

The man standing by the bed suddenly glanced at her.

She didn’t notice, still talking with Zhao Yu.

"I’ll call you back later when I’m home, it’s not convenient to talk while he’s here."

Zhao Yu: "Why does it sound like you’re meeting a lover?"

Mu Qiu: "..."

Zhao Yu: "Alright, alright, I get it, since you’ve just snagged your secret crush, you two should spend more time together. But let me praise you once more—

Qiuqiu, you’re brilliant, during last night’s live broadcast, he instinctively reached out to pull you! That was Cheng Zhirang!!! You’re now halfway into the celebrity world!"

"Hope there’s no third step."

Cheng Zhirang couldn’t help but look at her again.

As they were hanging up, Zhao Yu finally brought up a serious matter: "This will definitely cause a stir, but luckily my brother’s relationship will take some of the heat off, ugh ugh ugh my heart hurts..."

"..."

Zhao Yu: "But it’s best if you avoid any suspicion, especially in the next few days. Best not to go out, don’t go to the hospital if you’re out, and don’t be alone if you do, got it?"

Mu Qiu: "Got it, I’ll just stay home doing nothing, living in a drunken stupor."

Zhao Yu: "Good. I don’t want to hear colleagues at the office saying stuff like #Mu Qiu Pregnant# #Cheng Zhirang Mu Qiu Allegedly Cohabiting# during work hours.

Also, treat him well, isn’t the charming beauty trope your favorite? Once you become familiar with a few celebrities, take me to meet Su Yan!!!"

"...I just knew, my love for you isn’t worth it."

As they talked on the phone, Cheng Zhirang couldn’t hear the other side’s voice, only Mu Qiu’s responses, which were always... bizarre.

When she finished the call and walked toward him, he hesitated and asked, "Was the person you were talking to Qing Rong?"

"Huh?" Mu Qiu was a bit puzzled, "No, of course not. That’s my best friend."

Cheng Zhirang almost imperceptibly released a breath, nodded, and said, "Have you packed your things?"

"Clearly not yet, can you help me?"

This was her first time coyly making a request, Cheng Zhirang asked, "What do you need help with?"

"Help me take a photo."

Cheng Zhirang was surprised: "Hm?"

"It’s my first time at Nandu Tianhe, my first time staying in a seaview room exclusively for us, it’s a rare opportunity, I’d like to take a picture with Brother Cheng, just the two of us."

The group photos on the show were all collective shots, and since they still maintained some discretion, there were essentially no solo shots of just the two of them.

Now that it was exposed, although the future was uncertain, and the exposure was sudden, purely based on their relationship, having a solo photo together was the right thing to do.

Two seconds later, Cheng Zhirang nodded and agreed.

...

Guan Yu had been waiting at the door for eighty-one seconds, and the two still hadn’t come out.

Her suitcase was being pushed and pulled like a toy onto the boardwalk by Shi Yuhuai, and finally, the polite young man Li Yang heaved it onto the minibus.

But those two still hadn’t come out!

Just as she suspected things were turning romantic between those two in broad daylight, while the crew hadn’t even withdrawn, Cheng Zhirang and Mu Qiu finally came out.

From the same room.

Tsk tsk tsk.

Mu Qiu walked beside Cheng Zhirang unbothered by some people’s gossipy stares, maintaining her composure. Her suitcase was pushed by him, so she walked freely with empty hands.

Passing by Guan Yu, she even leaned a little closer to Cheng Zhirang.

Cheng Zhirang asked her gently, "What’s up?"

"Nothing, just wanted to be closer to you."

Guan Yu: "..." Ugh.

The atrocious couple.

The group went up to the minibus, and where the security was keeping fans back, there were still fans waving at them.

Most of them were Cheng Zhi and planet fans. Li Yang opened the window curtain and waved back at them. The bus door wasn’t closed yet, and a fan’s choked voice drifted in.

"Brother Cheng! It’s okay if you fall in love! We’ll always love you! Just act well!"

"Brother Cheng, you’re thirty already, it’s time to date! We won’t unfollow!"

"Brother Cheng, take care of yourself! Your love life is your business, we won’t interfere!"

"Brother Cheng!!! Cheng Zhi truly loves you!!! We’ll support you forever, for many, many decades!!"

It was a group of very young girls’ voices, seemingly about to cry, yet trying their best to assure him that they wouldn’t disperse because of his relationship.

Cheng Zhirang suddenly stood up again, walked to the door of the bus, faced outside, one hand behind his back, the other hand on his chest, and made a very gentlemanly bow.

"Thank you all."
