I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 411: Li Yang, Did You Secretly Sign Up for a Class?
When their relationship was exposed, Jiang Lu even asked Cheng Zhirang, teasing that his words back then had come true.
Previously, they were filming in the same crew. The whole crew, from top to bottom, debated every day about whether Jiang Lu or Cheng Zhirang was better looking.
Jiang Lu had also placed a bet on this topic, casting his vote for Cheng Zhirang.
One night while eating takeout together, Jiang Lu recounted these things to Cheng Zhirang, asking him what he’d do if his future girlfriend wasn’t as good-looking as himself.
Cheng Zhirang said at the time,
"As long as she makes me like her, it’s enough."
"What level of ’enough’?"
"Enough to make my heart skip a beat, yet agree to many unreasonable requests."
Looking back now, it’s likely that he had feelings for her early on; otherwise, they wouldn’t have gotten together so quickly, exposed their relationship so soon, or publically berated the paparazzi for her.
And now, the two of them are still on the same show.
Jiang Lu leaned his lower back against the Roman stone column railing, resting his elbows behind him, unbuttoning the vest in the middle of his neatly pressed morning coat, curling his lips as he looked at Cheng Zhirang from behind the crowd.
He wore his suit properly, had a good figure underneath, and a handsome face, indeed very attractive to girls.
Just not very humorous.
Qiu Shuang stood in front of Cheng Zhirang, and as required, awkwardly said a sentence with a complex idiom to him.
"Brother Cheng, you, you cry like a pear blossom bathed in rain."
Cheng Zhirang just raised an eyebrow, and politely said thank you.
Jiang Lu felt that Mu Qiu being able to tolerate Cheng Zhirang’s tepid personality, was also an impressive ability.
Dating someone like this is probably like having a non-paying roommate in the room; even coming out of the shower to say hello requires a polite greeting first.
He internally mocked, while everyone else laughed hysterically.
"Oh my god, Qiu Shuang, you’re really something!"
"Brother Cheng cries like a pear blossom bathed in rain?! Really?!"
"Have you actually seen Brother Cheng cry?! I want to see too!"
"Pear blossom bathed in rain is too much, hahaha!"
"Pear, blossom, rain—indeed includes three natural elements, quite impressive! My brain is like it’s rusted, can’t comprehend."
"Key point is he said it to Brother Cheng! The veins on Brother Cheng’s forehead are showing signs of endurance."
"Earth-shattering gossip, it’ll be trending soon! #ChengZhirangCriesLikePearBlossomInRain#"
"Qiu Shuang, you’re amazing, you’re a rare talent! I admire you for your guts!"
Qiu Shuang repeatedly apologized to Cheng Zhirang, while unable to stop laughing.
Cheng Zhirang closed his eyes, unable to laugh or cry, sighing, unsure whether to admire his idiom vocabulary or blame him for misusing idioms.
The director hadn’t expected Qiu Shuang, with so many idioms to choose from, only thought of "pear blossom bathed in rain."
But it was indeed correct.
"Qiu Shuang answers correctly, becoming the second surviving candidate, automatically teaming up with Mu Qiu!"
Qiu Shuang walked over, bent down, one hand behind his back, and stretched out the other: "Teammate, please guide me."
Mu Qiu lightly shook his fingertips: "I’ll need more guidance from you as I can’t act."
One sunny and handsome, the other bright and beautiful, they looked quite well-matched.
It was just that when Mu Qiu sat down again, she directly sat one seat apart from him, intentionally staying far from an unfamiliar man. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Snap, the sense of match was instantly shattered.
The remaining people still looked at each other vigilantly.
The order to draw the question card was determined by a game of rock-paper-scissors; the loser would go.
And this rock-paper-scissors was different, it was a game based on reading expressions. You have to be unexpected, and the other person has to unconsciously cooperate, without any verbal communication.
So you need to watch the other’s expressions, detect any intention to "make a move," then both seize the right moment, and quickly decide the winner before anyone else has played rock-paper-scissors.
That means you can’t play rock-paper-scissors with more than two other people, nor use verbal communication, only relying on guessing others’ actions to choose whom to play with.
The first rule was hard to accomplish.
In this round, Shu Ran attempted two or three times, but kept bumping into others, having to wait for another chance.
Li Yang, on the other hand, while tidying up his clothes, suddenly turned his head and shouted out of nowhere—"Scissors," and by chance, Cheng Zhirang had come out with rock.
Li Yang lost, and had to pick the question card first.
There weren’t many question cards left in the box; one for each person plus the one Mu Qiu hadn’t chosen, totaling six. He shuffled the cards vigorously, then picked one out.
"Please use a phrase beginning with the character ’一’ (one) for an idiom relay, consecutively citing four idioms, making sentences with each, and then using all four idioms in the same paragraph to a female guest."
"There’s only Sister Shu Ran left as a female guest; no choice there." Li Yang, after reading the question, instinctively said.
Shu Ran sneered coldly.
"You still want to choose?"
"...No, Sister Shu Ran, let me explain, it’s not that I want to pick; it’s just that I’m afraid that saying something not nice might scare you."
Mu Qiu and Guan Yu’s soft voices came from the side, "We’re not afraid of being scared?"
"...No, that’s... definitely not what I meant." Li Yang, again caught off guard and flustered by their teasing.
In the end, he adopted Shi Yuhuai’s most used approach, giving up and saying, "Alright then, that’s exactly what I meant, just let me explode on the spot."
Shu Ran snorted haughtily.
The director ignored what they meant, pressed the timer, and started the countdown.
"Fifty-nine, fifty-eight..."
"I’m thinking! I’ll think right away! I know!"
Li Yang ran up to Shu Ran, his mind racing at high speed, searching for idioms starting with ’一’ (one).
"One, one heart and one mind! Mind... this is so hard to follow up on! I’ll change it! Change it!"
What other idioms start with ’one’?
Li Yang gritted his teeth, clutching his head in frantic thought; two seconds later a spark of inspiration struck.
"Smooth sailing! Smoothly! Benefit everyone and oneself! Do unto others as you would have them do unto you! Sister Shu Ran, you need to understand this principle of ’do unto others,’ it’s beneficial to everyone and yourself, once you achieve this, everything will be smooth sailing and smooth!"
Finishing this in one breath, Li Yang’s throat was almost hoarse.
Then the director tapped the stopwatch leisurely.
"Ten, nine, eight..."
"Li Yang answers correctly, becoming the third survivor, automatically teaming up with Mu Qiu and Qiu Shuang."
Li Yang let out a huge sigh of relief.
The other people only then reacted.
Shu Ran looked him up and down, and gave an approving sound: "Although I couldn’t catch everything you said due to your slurred speech, being able to say so much in one go is quite impressive, your lung capacity’s something."
Guan Yu tore at her crow’s feet, shocked: "Li Yang, are you secretly taking classes without telling us?! We agreed to loaf around together, yet you secretly work hard, I hate people like that the most!"
Mu Qiu, in righteous indignation, said: "Exactly! How could you be so impatient, taking classes without bringing Brother Huai along?"
Shi Yuhuai turned his head, adopting a deadpan, indifferent expression towards her.
