Chapter 847 - 846: Yang, Off to Live It Up

Her performance was getting more and more spectacular, and the progress was truly beyond imagination.

Guan Yu couldn’t help but applaud her: "Amazing, Mu Dazhuang, turns out we’ve been calling you by your stage name all along."

Shu Ran: "Pfft—"

Song Weili was already lying on Li Yang’s back laughing to the point of tears, and across from them, An Zhou and Xu Jihua turned sideways, shoulders shaking from laughter.

Poor Cheng Zhirang, caught halfway through this scene, took a while to recover before he continued, laughing:

"No, no, listen to me explain."

"I don’t want to hear, don’t want to hear, don’t want to hear!" Mu Qiu covered her ears and stomped her feet, "I’m going back to marry Prince Shi, and you can take your Bai Yueguang and Miss Zhang and get married! We are done now! Wah wah wah!"

Then she ran behind Guan Yu and the others.

Li Yang was disgusted by her final "wah wah wah" sound and quickly dodged: "Mu Dazhuang, stay away from me."

Mu Qiu rolled her eyes at him, coughed twice to get back to normal: "We’re definitely spectacular, definitely the central story."

Shu Ran crossed her arms looking at her: "How is it the central story? Just this little scene, where did you see it’s the most exciting story?"

"Bai Yueguang! Stunt double! Forceful seizing! And later reversal, and a giant cross-dressing beauty! With so many elements together, isn’t this the most exciting story? Sister Shu Ran, you probably don’t watch cheesy dramas much, right? These elements are standard in cheesy shows, surely many people will vote for it."

Shu Ran’s brow was about to knot, an expression of disagreement: "Naming as Dazhuang is also standard?"

"...... That’s exceptional performance."

After her play was over, the group of maidservants finished their act too, and Cheng Zhirang finally got free, heading towards Mu Qiu.

He held the sword in one hand while trying to grab her with the other, but Mu Qiu’s acting addiction wasn’t easy to stop. She shrank sideways, looking at him tearfully:

"Don’t come over! You’re unwilling because you can’t have me, now you’re planning to seize me forcibly, aren’t you? How can you be so twisted?!"

Cheng Zhirang: "..."

Li Yang: "Still going on? Can you stop now, Mu Dazhuang?"

Mu Qiu was about to retort him twice, Cheng Zhirang reached out again and grabbed her, showing a smile she’d never seen before.

Like a smile, three parts cold, five parts teasing, two parts somber, his eyes like a pie chart (certainly not).

"Since you understand so well, I won’t pretend. Forcible seizing isn’t impossible, thank you for providing me with a solution idea."

Mu Qiu looked at him with mouth agape, not expecting him to learn to respond to her exaggerated performance already.

Shu Ran beside them was also quite startled, Guan Yu even looked at him with anguish: "I told you, when the spark was there between you two, it should’ve been extinguished! Now you’ve become this... We’ve ruined you, Brother Cheng!"

Zhu Qi: "You really have a lot going on in your play."

"Ahem," Mu Qiu’s hand under the wide sleeve was held by Cheng Zhirang, finally not acting, speaking normally, "Understand, this kind of hobby usually can’t be satisfied, can only be acted on the show."

Shu Ran: "People who are bad at something but obsessed with it, you’re talking about yourselves, right?"

"Can you not include the ’selves’, I’m easily fit to that." Guan Yu said.

Shu Ran gave her an obvious look saying: That’s right, I was speaking about you too just now, don’t you realize?

They seemed like roosters ready to fight with eye contact, just as Guan Yu hadn’t yet stood on tiptoes to glare, Li Yang quickly separated them, saying:

"More and more people are coming, there’s a line of people walking this way, our NPCs should also be arriving."

"They’re already here," Song Weili whispered, pointing at two NPCs acting foolishly over there, "They seem special, their costumes are quite exquisite."

"Indeed special," Shu Ran squinted at them, giving a glance twice, "The faces look familiar, they should be actors who’ve been in the circle for some time."

"There will be many NPCs this episode, should be specifically recruited by the program team from the film base." Cheng Zhirang spoke.

Mu Qiu watched those two fooling NPCs running over, expression unchanged, but the hand under the wide sleeve scratched Cheng Zhirang’s palm, seeking and pinching his fingertip.

Then it was held tight like a warning.

They were behind the crowd, with the main camera in front, not visible in the live room now, enabling her boldness.

Yet the warning was only a reciprocal clasp on her hand, making her purse her lips, lowering her gaze to hold back laughter.

The two notable NPC fools had already reached them, each quickly clinging to Li Yang’s shoulder.

"Ah Yang, let’s have fun!"

"It’s been ages since you’ve been out; what are you doing at home all the time, your father isn’t even there."

"Exactly, your father isn’t coming back for at least a year after going to the border, now’s the time for you to enjoy yourself!"

Li Yang struggled slightly, wearing a face of a good person protesting against slander: "What, what enjoy myself?"

The one with slightly better acting showed a "You know" expression, giving a signal to the other next to him.

The other immediately said: "Stop pretending, a few days ago you told Miss Yingying you’d listen to her music another day."

"Let’s go quickly, otherwise Miss Yingying will get snatched in anger, and your sister happens to be absent, let’s hurry!"

"Ugh—"

Guan Yu couldn’t mind the excitement and teased: "Oh Li Yang, so that’s how you are, going out with shady friends when elders aren’t home to enjoy yourself, and you call yourself a young general huh, who defeated you like this."

Shu Ran, playing the elder sister in the story, also looked at him reproachfully: "Li Yang, you really disappoint your sister."

An Zhou walked over, pushing his glasses: "If the young general was initially a booze-filled simpleton, only growing later, the story would be even more exciting."

Sounds much like a creepy villain’s vibe.

Li Yang speechless: "Our scripted story isn’t this detailed, right? Even if shaping a detailed character based on our story, it doesn’t have to go this way, can’t I be a courageous, active, achievement-filled young general?"

Before others spoke, the two foundling actors climbing on him burst into laughter immediately.

"No way? Did I hear it wrong? Active, achievement-filled? Isn’t your life’s greatest wish to eat well, drink well, hear Miss Yingying sing, and enjoy life?"

"Come on, you swear this every time after your father leaves, it’s lost credibility, hurry up, Miss Yingying doesn’t wait for anyone!"

Li · Forced useless son of a general · Yang: "....... I don’t really want to listen to Miss Yingying sing today."

Mu Qiu asked quietly: "Then who do you want to listen to? Sister Guan Yu?"

Li Yang suddenly choked on his saliva, coughing dramatically, but didn’t forget to refuse.

"No, no need!"
