Chapter 560: Chapter 559: Qiuqiu, Do You Want to... Use the Restroom?

Several people visibly flinched.

Then Guan Yu showed a smile of satisfaction like a proud father: "I knew it; she would definitely scream."

Just as expected, her voice was louder than everyone else’s.

Chu Qiu: "This volume could rival an air raid siren."

And this "air raid siren" was getting closer, the sound getting louder, and soon it was right next to them.

Wearing a bank employee’s uniform and low-heeled shoes, Shu Ran rushed over like the wind, maintaining her scream at a high pitch without stopping.

Until she ran past them, then back in front of them, continuing to let out one last wailing shout.

"Ahhhhhhh!"

Mu Qiu dug at her ears, turned, and said to Zhao Yu, "The world seems to have quieted down."

Zhao Yu caught on, shouting back loudly: "Huh?! What did you say?! I can’t hear you?!"

Li Yang gave them a big thumbs up: "The act was perfectly played."

Guan Yu rubbed his ears next to him, looking at Shu Ran who finally stopped screaming, saying, "Well done, you came and deafened everyone."

Shu Ran, panting like crazy, covered in sweat, first asked, "My, my makeup, did it smudge?"

"...No, your makeup is like cement, indestructible, don’t worry." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"That’s, that’s good." Shu Ran stood upright, raised her head, puffed her chest, and rested her hands crossed over her lower abdomen. Even though she was still panting slightly, she already stood in the posture of a bank staff.

"Sorry, got a bit carried away just now."

Li Yang: "Sister Shu Ran, what did you see? A mutant sow giving birth to a red-haired cow?"

"...What on earth?"

No one repeated it; they all answered her with laughter.

"Li Yang, you are getting better at this, hahaha!"

"Hahahahaha what’s with this nonsense, Li Yang, you’re so mean!"

"Is a sow giving birth to a cow some young people’s joke?"

"Li Yang, are you starting to make things up too?!"

"Hahahahaha! If she saw that, Sister Shu Ran’s eyes would tear up from the brightness, wouldn’t they?!"

They laughed happily, and only now did Han Xizheng, who had been separated from Shu Ran during the run, slowly emerge from the corner where Shu Ran had come from.

"I was wondering why the screaming stopped; I almost couldn’t find where you ran off to."

Guan Yu laughed like a chicken crowing: "That’s a good idea! Use her screams as sound navigation, covering the whole city, extremely sensitive!"

Shu Ran glared, "Would it kill you not to talk?"

"Evidently, yes."

Li Yang burst out laughing again.

Shu Ran was so angry her face was turning green.

Ten of the twelve people had gathered here; only the missing Shi Yuhuai and Chen Yi were left.

At this moment, there was a buzzing sound above the ruins, long and distant, followed by a familiar electronic voice, echoing in every corner.

"The first hour is up, please return to the starting point, guests!"

...

After being outside, both shocked and thirsty for an hour, Mu Qiu had long wished to return to the fast-food restaurant, preferably with a bottle of water, sitting comfortably while watching others "perform," wouldn’t that be great?

So as she walked towards the fast-food restaurant, she was very happy, her steps light and quick.

Cheng Zhirang was behind her, clearly seeing the twist in her small waist.

Her top and pants were both black, highlighting that part of her waist in stark white. Even standing in the shade, he couldn’t help lowering his eyes to relieve the tension in his eyes.

He closed his eyes, stopped his steps, raised his hand to the accompanying director and cameraman, and made a gesture to pause progress, then turned away from the camera lens.

After negotiating with the director, the camera advanced forward quickly from behind their loosely formed line, like a long shot in a film.

Eventually, the camera would switch to the set inside the fast-food restaurant, conducting the next segment by providing a wait for the guests to arrive.

With the camera removed and moved inside the fast-food restaurant, Mu Qiu was stopped by someone behind her.

Cheng Zhirang, in a deliberately low voice, called her Qiuqiu.

Mu Qiu was very sensitive to his voice; she turned to see him reaching out to her.

She was a bit hesitant and looked around at the staff, tilted her head, and whispered, "What’s up?"

Cheng Zhirang thought for a moment and asked, "Want to go to the restroom?"

"Uh, you, you want me to accompany you to the restroom?"

"..." Zhao Yu pinched her, whispering with an exasperated tone: "Are you an idiot? No matter what he says, quickly go up there!"

A beauty extended an invitation and even avoided the camera, isn’t this something? Usually hot on being sharp and pertinent, how come she’s being so clueless now?!

"...Oh." Mu Qiu’s ears were a bit warm, and she walked toward Cheng Zhirang. Before she even got there, her hand was already reaching out to his palm.

Shen Zhousong walked straight past them and left a sentence: "I’ll help look after her friend, you guys make it quick."

...Make it quick, are you really rushing them for a bathroom trip?

Shen Zhousong didn’t know she was complaining inside, but he walked up to Zhao Yu, nodded slightly, and politely gestured for the lady to proceed.

Zhao Yu took one last look at Mu Qiu, made a cheering gesture with eyebrows raised, and followed Shen Zhousong away.

She wanted to be excited, but Cheng Zhirang might just be genuinely going to the bathroom. After all, he wouldn’t do anything overboard on the show.

"Let’s go."

Cheng Zhirang led her towards the entrance of the main road, where at the left side of where they started, covered with a layer of canvas, there was indeed a restroom.

Mu Qiu entered first, looking around the restroom sharply contrasting with the ruins, a large mirror, and on the sink, there was actually a makeup bag labeled "For Guest Use."

She picked up the makeup bag and looked at it, "The production team thought of everything, they were so consid... Brother Cheng?"

She turned her head to see the man close behind her, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Cheng Zhirang’s hand embraced her waist from behind, with his palm against her lower abdomen.

There was no fabric to cover that spot, and the cool skin was instantly warmed by Cheng Zhirang’s palm, causing Mu Qiu to tighten immediately.

"Brother Cheng... what’s happening?"

"Your period just ended, is being in the wind making you uncomfortable?" His charming voice gently asked in her ear.

The warmth from Mu Qiu’s ear spread to her face, she lifted her head to look at them in the mirror.

After a moment, she quickly looked away, saying, "No."

"Would it feel better to cover it with my hand?"

"...Mm. Stop speaking right into my ear."

Cheng Zhirang let out a muffled laugh, "It’s red."

Then she felt his finger gently touch her ear.

Mu Qiu bit her lip, turned her head, and closed her eyes.

In the mirror, the girl’s ears and side of her face, and her neck, were a vibrant red, like beautiful twilight falling upon someone she likes.

Cheng Zhirang was amazed by this physiological reaction, unable to resist placing his cool fingertips on her collarbone.

Then Mu Qiu reached out and grabbed his hand.

She still had her head turned but opened her eyes wide, staring fiercely into the mirror.
