I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!

Although Guan Yu already knew how everyone reacted to her singing, seeing him react so strongly, she couldn’t help but respond sarcastically.

"You don’t want to hear Miss Yingying sing, and you don’t want to hear me sing, so who do you want to hear sing? Why don’t you just go to heaven?"

Li Yang was still coughing, his face turning red: "It’s just... cough cough cough! It’s just that I don’t need you to sing!"

"... I’m getting excited now, you don’t want to hear, huh? Well, I’m going to sing anyway!"

Then she shouted loudly into Li Yang’s ear: "Brother, brother, don’t leave hey!"

Suddenly, Li Yang’s head was confused. He quickly covered his ears and said to the two extras as he walked forward: "I better go listen to Miss Yingying sing instead!"

Guan Yu: "Hmph."

Xu Jihua and Song Weili were laughing on the side, and Shu Ran suddenly exclaimed, asking Mu Qiu:

"Isn’t our story quite amazing too? There’s future sci-fi, time travel, and even a young fool who undergoes great change to become a general, and even national sentiment. It sounds so wonderful."

Li "fool" Yang: "...Can you consider my feelings?"

Shu Ran didn’t bother with him, and the more she talked about it, the more she felt their story was fascinating. In the end, she didn’t even need Mu Qiu’s answer and confirmed:

"Yes, it sounds really amazing, definitely a central story."

Guan Yu: "Just saying ’amazing’ makes it a central story? We also have time travel, national sentiment, and those silly plots of you kill me, I kill you. Isn’t that more exciting?"

"Then let’s see the difference—our story takes place in the General Mansion, you know, the General Mansion? Which ancient TV drama considers the General Mansion unimportant? Look at your story: a eunuch, a simpleton, and a guy in an old man’s shirt, where’s the importance and excitement?"

If Guan Yu refused to give up the setting of attracting the Prince with selling roast duck, then the three of them are just a eunuch, a naive fool, and a duck seller, even more ordinary, so ordinary that it’s hard to imagine any story happening to them.

Guan Yu widened her eyes: "Hey, hey, don’t underestimate our status! Just the silly Prince’s interest shows how exciting our story is! In any ancient story, how can you not involve the Imperial Palace? Let alone a time-traveling girl’s story that happens there, it’s definitely exciting!"

Mu Qiu, who had already scratched Cheng Zhirang’s fingers countless times, listened to their argument reminiscent of neighbors quarreling, chimed in: "You might as well have a fight, it’s more exciting than any story."

Both Guan Yu and Shu Ran turned their heads to stare at her.

She wasn’t afraid, shrugged, and said: "Although this episode’s theme is something about talking your way to victory, you can’t just win by talking. Whether a story is exciting or not has specific characteristics."

Zhu Qi asked curiously: "What characteristics?"

"First, whether there’s a forbidden identity, second, whether there are all sorts of dramatic plots, third, whether the protagonist is good-looking. Look at our Brother Cheng’s face, you don’t even need to think of a story; good-looking people must have exciting stories, he just looks like a protagonist!"

"... Psh—thought you were going to say something else."

It turned out to be exaggerated flattery again, and there was really no way to refute this flattery.

Mu Qiu, under everyone’s disdainful gaze, continued: "Moreover, we also have a beautiful woman disguised as a man! Doesn’t that make it even more exciting?! So, your story still falls short; ours is the most exciting."

"Go ahead and boast."

"There are more and more people," An Zhou looked towards the front of the canal, "people are constantly coming from over there, some entering nearby mansions."

Xu Jihua also noticed: "There are so many people, those maids who stopped Brother Cheng earlier are still sticking to the wall, it really looks a bit like those period dramas."

It did feel a bit like a film set, Mu Qiu tiptoed to look ahead, a group of people in various costumes lined up and started walking this way.

It seemed like the program group planned in advance which place they would go to perform what plot. Some of them entered the mansions ahead, while others continued along the canal without saying anything and went to further places.

"Our NPC hasn’t arrived yet," said Guan Yu, "why can’t I see anyone in eunuch costumes?"

"Is it over there?" Song Weili, with sharp eyes, immediately noticed a group of eunuchs coming over.

Turns out the eunuchs were carrying a soft sedan chair, rushed over, and stuffed Song Weili inside, lifted it up, and ran away.

"Forgive us, Sixth Prince! We were rude!"

They actually lifted it and ran, not caring about the struggling and panic-stricken Song Weili inside the sedan chair who turned his head to look back at them.

Like a gust of wind.

Guan Yu was still a bit confused: "What’s happening?"

Xu Jihua: "... is he just gone?"

Mu Qiu: "Aren’t you chasing after him? Planning to just lose a person later?"

Only then did Guan Yu widen her eyes, pulling Xu Jihua to chase after: "Where do you servants think you’re going?! Put him down! Hey!"

Zhu Qi: "Ah this... sounds more like Wu Dalang coming for a guest appearance.’

Shu Ran raised her eyebrows: "This outfit really resembles his."

At this point, more NPCs joined in.

"Miss! Miss!"

A maid stood at the gate of the General Mansion, whispering anxiously to them: "Miss, come quickly! There’s suddenly a strange man in your room!"

Mu Qiu looked around: "Sister Shu Ran, I think they’re calling you?"

Shu Ran tidied her clothes and gracefully walked over.

"This should be my character appearing," An Zhou said, also following over.

"Should we go too?" Cheng Zhirang asked Mu Qiu.

Mu Qiu shook her head: "Let’s go back and check on Brother Huai, he’s all alone in there, so lonely."

"Okay."

The hands they secretly held were now released. Cheng Zhirang was about to walk around the corner when Mu Qiu suddenly looked back at the last person left behind.

"Ah, are you coming too?"

Zhu Qi said mournfully: "I thought I was playing a corpse for this scene."

Mu Qiu scratched her nose, and the three of them walked inwards, parting ways with the others.

"Come to think of it, we’ve been fooling around outside for some time. I wonder if Brother Huai feels scared staying alone in that narrow, eerie little room. Speaking of which, Brother Huai is really in a unique situation, right?"

She was ahead as they walked towards the room imprisoning Shi Yuhuai, continuing:

"A unique situation, truly locked up in a small dark room. I’ve never seen a guest on any show actually get locked into a small dark room and have someone else replace him. Plus, being locked up and still having us torment him, come to think of it, Brother Huai is really pitiful..."

The small dark room’s door opened, and the three outside were unexpectedly face-to-face with Shi Yuhuai, who was eating lychees and playing on his phone inside.

Shi Yuhuai calmly swallowed the lychee in his mouth and went to peel another.

Moments later, Mu Qiu smirked, her smile not reaching her eyes: "Brother Huai, you seem to be having a pretty good time."

Pity, my foot. Better pity myself.
