I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 416: Oh No, I Saw Everything

Jiang Lu’s hair was still wet, wearing a color-blocked team uniform, he strolled out with his hands in his pockets, a flirtatious look in his fox-like eyes, greeting everyone with his magnetic deep voice.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting."

Guan Yu: "It’s no problem, Teacher Jiang Lu~~ We only waited a few minutes~~ Simple clothes suddenly look so good on Teacher Jiang Lu~~"

Li Yang & Shi Yuhuai & Qiu Shuang & Wei Yi: "......"

The preferential treatment was so obvious.

Everyone was present, and they followed the signs all the way to a banquet hall deep inside the small castle.

"Qingchi Hall."

The staff pushed open the door, it was empty inside, footsteps echoed, and in the middle stood three black partitions with hollow patterns, used for dividing space, with a wooden couch in each section.

Facing the couches was a group of familiar staff, and the director sat cross-legged in the middle of the group.

The crowd walked in and surrounded the middle partition, examining it eagerly.

Li Yang: "What is this? What’s it for? It’s not another game like eating roasted garlic, is it?"

"Seems like roasted garlic has left a shadow," Mu Qiu picked up a meeting record paper placed on the second couch and said, "But it shouldn’t be that game."

A piece of cardboard, a piece of white paper, and a pen; they surely have to write or draw something.

But this setup was only on the second couch; the other two didn’t have it, indicating that the person in the second position had to do tasks different from the others.

The director wasn’t in a hurry to announce the rules, and everyone was rummaging around for clues.

Qiu Shuang seized this moment to get close to Mu Qiu and Li Yang.

He forcefully wedged himself between Mu Qiu and Li Yang, and just as Mu Qiu was about to say not to stand too close to the ladies, he suddenly dug a phone out of his pocket and whispered softly.

"Why don’t we check the program’s bullet comments? I’ve noticed every episode, there are many people who guess the truth in the comments. Also, the camera was just pointed here, recording the entire setup process, there must be some clues,"

Li Yang widened his eyes in admiration: "...... You analyze a show this thoroughly?"

Mu Qiu, on the other hand, surprisingly furrows his brow and says sternly: "You just joined the show, how can you cheat?! This is very bad behavior!"

While speaking righteously, he opens the program viewing app on his phone.

"This time I’ll let it slide, but don’t ever do it again!"

Qiu Shuang opened his mouth, finally deciding to play along, and opened the live broadcast, saying:

"I’ve also been tormented internally, I swear I won’t do it again next time, kids watching this, remember, cheating is bad behavior, hmm? How do you open the bullet comments?"

"...Impressive. You give me hope for the future of our country."

The three of them huddled closer, sneakily staring at the phone in the middle.

Qiu Shuang: "Why are there just endless screams?"

Li Yang: "Which big brother are they screaming for?"

Mu Qiu: "Who cares, can’t you look at something useful?"

Li Yang: "Look at this this this!"

Mu Qiu: "Keep it down!"

Qiu Shuang: "They said the production team also prepared a tablet, seems like it’s for a charades or Pictionary type of game."

Mu Qiu: "Would the production team use tricks from another show?"

Li Yang: "I don’t think they would. Why are some people saying cheating as a group is exciting?"

Mu Qiu: "Kids shouldn’t watch such offensive comments. By the way, did you see the reflection on the screen?"

Qiu Shuang: "......Looks kind of like a person."

Mu Qiu: "What are you talking about?"

Li Yang: "I can already feel someone breathing down my neck."

Mu Qiu: "Why do you make it sound so scary..."

Qiu Shuang paused, scrutinized closely, and said: "Seems like... it’s Teacher Jiang Lu."

Mu Qiu hurriedly reached over, pressed his phone, and asked him to put it away, then the three of them slowly turned around.

Jiang Lu was bending over close to Li Yang’s side, smiling at them.

Seeing them turn their heads, he smiled mischievously:

"Ah, what to do, I saw everything."

"......"

From his tone, he clearly wasn’t a good person, and it seemed impossible to make him keep quiet, so—

"Brother Jiang Lu, how about an alliance?"

Mu Qiu sincerely looked at him, pulling a red armband from his pocket, analyzing their strengths: "Look, I have an advantage, Qiu Shuang can act, and Li Yang can sing, dance, and is still young... even if he’s hobbled, he’s still young; our group’s configuration is highly competitive in the market."

Jiang Lu raised an eyebrow and said: "It is quite competitive. But I don’t need it."

"You could use it," Mu Qiu continued softly, "Our three groups, Sister Guan Yu and I both have an edge, while Sister Shu Ran has just been demoted to a roaming NPC. You watched the earlier shows, right? Roaming NPCs have it tough!"

With that, he nudged Li Yang and Qiu Shuang.

Li Yang nodded enthusiastically: "Exactly! Brother Jiang Lu, you don’t know, sometimes roaming NPCs have no rights at all!"

Qiu Shuang: "And if we form an alliance, we can team up to take down Brother Huai first, then compete fairly among ourselves. It’s quite a deal, you know. All three in your team are classically trained; we’re not much of a threat to you."

Mu Qiu concluded: "Right! We mainly want to deal with Sister Guan Yu’s team!"

Jiang Lu crossed his arms, stroked his chin, and upon hearing this, said: "Your plan sounds good, but—"

He turned around, gesturing for them to look at the row of people behind them.

"But Shu Ran and Guan Yu already warned me, saying the person least trustworthy in this show is you, and to be on guard."

The row of people behind them crossed their arms, clearly having seen their cheating scene play out.

Especially the two in the middle, crossing their arms and smiling sarcastically at them.

Mu Qiu slowly raised his hand to point at himself: "Me?"

"Who is the most untrustworthy person in this show, don’t you have a clue?" Guan Yu shouted with a raised voice.

Shu Ran crossed her arms, chiming in: "Exactly. Anyone who’s watched two episodes knows Mu Qiu’s lips are lies, every alliance is just temporary."

"......" Mu Qiu rubbed his nose, looked at them, and asked, "You two allied?"

"Of course! Isn’t it obvious? We are now the best fake sisters in the world!"

Li Yang peeked out from behind Mu Qiu, muttering: "More like curtain sisters, right?"

Guan Yu & Shu Ran: "......Li Yang! I’m telling you, you won’t escape this episode!"

Li Yang shrank back.

"Argue all you want, don’t drag the kids into it!" Mu Qiu put his hands on his hips, "Li Yang, you back up! Let me handle this!"

Li Yang and Qiu Shuang both took a step back.

Mu Qiu cleared his throat and said to Shu Ran: "Sister Shu Ran, you must reconsider, Sister Guan Yu’s team configuration isn’t as competitive as ours!"

Shu Ran crossed her arms and scoffed: "Either way, if you’re going to find temporary partners, you find the weakest ones, the least threatening!"

Guan Yu also said: "Even though it’s a bit shameful, we’re indeed not professional in acting, the weakest join forces with the strongest to take down the middle, get it? You top contenders would never understand the effort we put in to not come last!"
