I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!

Mu Qiu is genuinely interested in these small stalls.

She pulls Cheng Zhirang through the crowd, stopping at each little stall.

Cheng Zhirang is tall and slender, and wearing that black ancient costume with a jade crown, he stands out distinctly in the crowd, making him easily noticeable.

They seemed to be truly on a date, as if they were ancient lovers sneaking out for a rendezvous after their elders relaxed the rules for the night.

A secret excitement and joy rose in Mu Qiu’s heart, and as they walked hand in hand, she couldn’t suppress the sweet smile on her face, with the white dress brushing against his black clothing, black and white contrasting.

Cheng Zhirang willingly let her lead him, and the two of them stopped at a stall selling hairpins.

Indeed, there were hairpins, and they were quite beautiful. Some were carved from wood, others were metal with beads, each intricately crafted.

Mu Qiu picked up a wooden iris-shaped hairpin and looked up, asking Cheng Zhirang, "Does this look good?"

"It’s beautiful," he said gently, picking up another gold-plated hairpin with entwined branches and beads, and playfully held it to her hair, "This one is nice too."

"But I think the wooden one is really nice, smooth all over, and it’s an iris design." She inserted the wooden hairpin into her hair and leaned back for him to see.

"How’s that?"

Cheng Zhirang adjusted the hairpin slightly for her, looking at her seriously, "Very beautiful. If you like it, why not buy it? We can pay the show team later."

"You both fancy this hairpin?" Asked the extra playing the vendor, with a smile and a hint of flattery in his gaze at Cheng Zhirang.

"Sir, the gold-plated hairpin in your hand is also quite nice, it would look lovely on the young lady, why not buy them both?"

Mu Qiu raised an eyebrow; this group of actors was indeed skilled; even such a small role had its part to play.

She glanced at Cheng Zhirang, and when she didn’t respond positively, the vendor continued his persuasion:

"The wooden hairpin has a seamless look, but is a bit plain, this gold-plated one is more glamorous, perfectly fits the young lady! It’s Qiqiao Festival today, since sir is out with the young lady, don’t just get a wooden hairpin! Your sweetheart is so beautiful, she deserves a beautiful ornament."

The pitch was ordinary, but somehow struck a chord with Cheng Zhirang. He smiled and agreed simply.

"How do we pay?"

The vendor immediately showed a QR code and whispered, "Even though we’re extras, we’re truly artisans, and this is handmade by me, only 50 yuan needed."

Mu Qiu stared wide-eyed at the QR code sign: "..."

This can happen?!

Where did the show find these extras, how come there are genuine artisans mixed in selling their creations? Or are all the stall owners here artisans?

Cheng Zhirang was also slightly stunned, taking out his assistant’s phone to scan and pay.

The vendor smiled broadly, took out a handkerchief, wrapped the gold-plated hairpin neatly, and handed it to Cheng Zhirang: "Keep it well, and I wish you a happy couple forever!"

Cheng Zhirang looked at Mu Qiu with a smile.

Mu Qiu indeed felt a bit shy and embarrassed, pulling him away from the stall.

"Why did you actually pay for it?"

"You liked it, so I bought it. Is there anything else you like?"

"...Ah," she pretended to brush her cheeks unintentionally, feeling a bit hot, "Let’s just look around. Hey, what are Sister Guan Yu and the others looking at?"

She squeezed over to see, Guan Yu and the others were bending over, watching a wooden fish tank at a stall.

"What are they looking at?"

Song Weili was squatting at the stall, happily saying, "The goldfish here are so beautiful!"

Mu Qiu leaned in closer to look, and sure enough, there, inside the wooden fish tank, were several small fish, mostly goldfish, and one bluish one.

That bluish one seemed a bit chubby from eating too much, swimming around merrily.

The more Mu Qiu watched, the closer she got, crouching in front of the stall, squatting there with Guan Yu and the others, closely observing the fish swimming around, watching them scramble for food tossed in by the vendor, full of interest.

"Like them?"

The voice of Cheng Zhirang came from behind.

Mu Qiu, still leaning over the fish tank, looked back up at him, "Yeah," she responded.

"That bluish one is a bit plump, so cute."

Perhaps because the hairpin buying experience earlier made her feel good, her words now carried a sweet, doting tone.

Cheng Zhirang touched her hair gently, and asked the vendor, "Is the bluish one for sale?"

The vendor immediately nodded, pulled out a QR code board from under the stall, "Not 218, not 198, nor 88, just 50."

Then Cheng Zhirang seamlessly accepted the phone from the assistant and scanned to pay.

Until Mu Qiu was holding a small bamboo tube fish tank, watching the tubby blue fish swim happily inside, Guan Yu and the others were still bewildered.

"...Can we do this?"

"You can really buy it?! And with a QR code?!"

[Ahhhhhhhhhh this sweetness is killing me!]

[How can it be so sweet, sob sob sob sob sob]

[Brother Cheng has found joy in paying for his girlfriend]

[Feeling both sour and excited, yelling "Brother Cheng buy it for her" enthusiastically]

[Hahahahahahahahahaha dying of laughter! How come even in ancient times vendors have QR codes]

[Guan Yu is shocked, hahaha]

[I knew this episode was a couple show, but I didn’t expect even the extras to be so sweet]

[Virtual experience of buying things for a girlfriend, thanks Brother Cheng, letting those without girlfriends feel that joy]

[They are so well matched / bites finger.jpg]

[My Qiuqiu is so cute, sob sob sob, mommy loves you!]

[Maple Leaf is here! Come quickly and buy for my Qiuqiu!]

[Is the show hiring extras while getting franchisees onboard?]

[Guan Yu: things I didn’t expect as a single dog]

[Brother Cheng bringing his girlfriend onto the reality show to buy buy buy...this is so weird]

[Brother Cheng: What’s storytelling? Don’t know, I only know my girlfriend likes this, so I buy it.]

[Is this love talk?! It must be love talk?! You like it so I buy it, sob sob sob I like it too!]

[You guys are still a bit low-level, Brother Huai is already enjoying his fee for the episode, eating fruits and playing on his phone]

[This scene is really too realistic, isn’t it? How come the street food stall over there is still smoking?! They’re really cooking!?]

[Director: Welcome to "Different Night Market"]

[Li Yang! Come over quickly! There’s really food here!]

[Brother Cheng waves his hand, buy it all! Whatever you like, buy it all!]

[Bossy Crown Prince Cheng Zhirang, I’m in love, hahaha]

[It’s so sweet I can’t eat]

[Speaking of eating, you guys better go to that smoking stall there and settle lunch! Heartless show team might not even provide a meal!]

[Hahaha friends! I snuck in! I’m right here amid these stalls! Don’t worry, I’ve prepared lots of food for my babies!]
