I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!

Chapter 664 - 663: Because You’re Handsome

The little interaction between the two didn’t show up on camera, but the guests and staff present, including the managers and assistants, all saw it clearly.

Chen Song arrived late and raised an eyebrow at the small gesture but didn’t say anything. Even when she noticed the looks from other managers, she stood still with her arms crossed, unbothered.

No matter how many people stared at her, she had no intention of turning back to chat more and instead turned to ask Assistant Liang beside her.

"Did you prepare the saline?"

"Yes, it’s ready. Miss Mu’s friend’s portion is also prepared."

Chen Song nodded.

From what she could see, the others had only single portions, and not very large ones at that, while the rest on the table was for rewarding the staff.

Only in their case, the artist’s meals alone amounted to three portions, plus the manager’s, the assistant’s, and for others, the round table couldn’t hold it all, leaving a big pile on the floor.

Glancing through the takeaway boxes one by one, she saw some small blue soup pots that hadn’t been bagged and asked, "What are those?"

Assistant Liang, drawing his gaze back from Cheng Zhirang and Mu Qiu, glanced at the soup pots and said, "These are tremella soup and bone soup for Miss Mu and her friend."

"None for Cheng Zhirang?"

The artist didn’t have any portion for himself but took care of his girlfriend and her friend comprehensively.

Assistant Liang: "He doesn’t like these. They were specifically instructed to be brought for Miss Mu."

Chen Song shook her head with a smile.

A gentle man in his thirties being so sweet while in love.

She sighed softly and then looked up to the people surrounded by the cameras over there.

Chu Qiu was being stared down by a group of people. Although the camera didn’t catch it, he noticed Guan Yu already had her fist raised, ready to punch him anytime.

Swallowing hard with difficulty, he couldn’t stop wiping his sweat, his eyes darting around, looking guilty.

"I just... just wanted to experiment a bit, didn’t expect it to be so effective..."

No, he did it on purpose.

Guan Yu aggressively punched him: "So what exactly was your method? Spit it out quickly!"

"...It was, it was cutting the paper with plague written on it into small pieces, putting double-sided tape on them, and randomly throwing them on the ground..."

Also, thanks to Guan Yu handing him the double-sided tape casually at the supermarket.

His voice grew smaller as he realized this method was a killer move, a style of indiscriminate bomb-throwing massacre, and would likely get him buried alive.

Almost dragging the weak end of the sentence, the first victim, Shi Yuhuai, let out a rare gnash.

"Oh, damn."

Li Yang and the others widened their eyes in surprise at Shi Yuhuai.

Mu Qiu exclaimed: "You’re finished, Brother Chu Qiu, the only one who can make Brother Huai speak like that is you."

Zhao Yu, like a twin to her, continued:

"From all the episodes I’ve watched, the only one who can make Sister Guan Yu’s face darken like a pot bottom wishing to turn you into shredded chicken is just you."

Chu Qiu: "... My stomach suddenly hurts!!!"

The sound of the word pain was smooth without any turn, and Chu Qiu himself was already crouching, holding his head due to Guan Yu’s sudden attack.

Guan Yu pretended to roll up her sleeves and rushed at him while explaining to Cheng Zhirang.

"Brother Cheng, I really can’t hold it anymore, let me finish hitting him before you say anything!"

What else could Cheng Zhirang say?

After all, it wasn’t him getting hit.

After a chaotic moment, Guan Yu finally let go of Chu Qiu, satisfied with her beating.

Chu Qiu tentatively let go of his hands holding his head, relaxed, only to find Shi Yuhuai staring down at him with a sinister look as soon as he stood up.

"...Brother Huai, shouldn’t you let someone catch a breath before torturing them? Otherwise, doing it all at once isn’t very satisfying, is it?"

What a justification, insulting himself to achieve a persuasive purpose but pathetic enough to make one... not pity him at all.

Luckily, this pathetic speaking style temporarily soothed Shi Yuhuai’s urge to beat him all at once.

Leaving him for a later beating.

Chu Qiu narrowly escaped a calamity, grimacing, rubbing the spot just punched by Guan Yu, and stood back in his position.

A head popped out from behind.

Li Yang leaned in and asked him, "Brother Chu Qiu, does it hurt?"

"... What kind of idiotic question is that?"

"Just asking."

Then estimating the tragic degree of his own beating later.

He paused, suddenly remembered that the one who chuckles the most on this show is Li Yang, yet he hadn’t heard his laughter just now.

Once linked back to when he overheard Cheng Zhirang telling Mu Qiu a little secret to save his life earlier, for a moment, he looked at Li Yang with eyes filled with sympathetic pity for sharing the same plight.

Mu Qiu hadn’t even recalled the matter yet, standing by and couldn’t stop laughing.

Every time she thought of Shi Yuhuai’s "Oh, damn," she couldn’t help it, and looking at Shu Ran’s satisfied expression made it even harder to hold back.

The rivalry between Shi Yuhuai and Shu Ran probably started from the trailer, though maybe even Huai himself wasn’t aware of it.

By now, as long as Shi Yuhuai was unhappy, Shu Ran was very pleased, and conversely, if Shu Ran talked teasingly, Shi Yuhuai would retort against it.

It had become a huge highlight of the show.

Everyone knew.

So many open and secret glances were cast at the two of them, even Shi Yuhuai, usually oblivious, noticed it.

He stared at Chen Yi and Han Xizheng, frowning: "Why are you staring at me like that?"

Chen Yi wasn’t a star and still wasn’t very good at discussing the feud gossip on camera, so he just laughed it off and said, "Looking at your handsome face."

Shi Yuhuai: "So that’s why you stare blankly at me each time while customizing clothes?"

"..."

Feeling all the women’s eyes in the room converged over.

Chen Yi’s mouth twisted in speechlessness, closing his eyes, a forehead full of black lines: "What nonsense are you spouting? I was looking at how the clothes fit on you!"

"Oh."

It was explained away.

...But why did the female guests keep glancing over at them?!

Han Xizheng behind him was smirking and hadn’t made a witty remark yet when Shi Yuhuai called his name again.

"Do you also think I’m handsome?"

Han Xizheng: "..."

Shu Ran: "Yuck—"

Mu Qiu couldn’t hold back her laugh until her eyes turned into slits.

"Brother Huai, stop it, even though your handsomeness could shake heaven and earth, asking people everywhere is really weird."

Before Shi Yuhuai could say anything, Shu Ran pretended to vomit and commented on her words.

"Mu Qiu, you really are getting better and better at spouting nonsense, ha, even saying something like that."

Didn’t you first look at Cheng Zhirang’s face?

Guan Yu and Li Yang whispered recklessly, "Fight, fight, fight!"

Shu Ran waved her fists at the two of them.

Brother Huai: Though it’s weird, I have to say, this time it’s finally not the female guests killing me.
