I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 283: Brother Huai: Not Bad

Several minutes later, Mu Qiu checked the latest photos posted by the four of them on Weibo.

[Guan Yu V: From a person who lost a bet, I don’t know if this is the joy of receiving something for free, but it tastes great liao]

In the picture, Guan Yu is sitting at a table eating mashed yam, smiling contentedly at the camera with the table full of goodies.

This isn’t bad, it nicely showcases how much she gave away and how good it tasted.

Mu Qiu was very satisfied, left a comment, and then opened Shu Ran’s post.

[Shu Ran V: The snacks are all in small packets, really convenient~]

In the photo, her snacks are small packets of filling staples, like mini purple sweet potatoes, a small piece of corn, and steamed fish maw.

She took a selfie, showing half her face, with a good angle, good lighting, and clearly very meticulous makeup.

Mu Qiu didn’t know whether to comment on the snacks or the person.

As for Li Yang’s, it was more straightforward, holding up a packet of enzyme plum cookies for a close-up, with the other snacks blurred in the background.

[Li Yang: These cookies are so delicious!]

But seeing as he even used an exclamation mark, he grudgingly got a good score.

Finally, Mu Qiu opened Shi Yuhuai’s Weibo.

[Shi Yuhuai: Pretty good. / Picture]

In the photo, he is sitting cross-legged on the floor, surrounded by a circle of snacks "scattered" around him.

So large, sitting among a pile of snacks and looking at the camera, he somehow exudes an innocent and naive vibe.

Mu Qiu: "......" Who came up with this pose for him? It’s quite cute.

All the fans below were laughing. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

[Tool-man Brother Huai hahaha, tell me, did they make you take this photo?]

[Props to the assistant, must have taken quite the effort to arrange this pose]

[Actually, I want to see the pose Brother Huai would choose himself]

[Clearly an old fan, imagine the entire process yourself, just one picture as the result]

[Seems like the same big gift bag, why does it look so small next to Brother Huai hahaha]

[Mu Qiu come here, tell us, did you retaliate by cutting Brother Huai’s snacks hahahahaha]

[So cute, Ma Ma’s son is so big]

[There’s someone suspicious in here]

[What’s girlfriend fan and career fan? I’m just a Ma, I don’t understand]

[Thank you, Mu Qiu, for the big gift bag, you’ve seriously considered Brother Huai’s career]

[Were you the one who took the photo just two minutes ago, brother?]

[Brother Huai: I’m just forced to operate, that’s all]

[Brother don’t mind those rumors, just enjoy yourself]

[Brother Long Legs in lounge wear looks so touchable]

[Has Miss Banyan apologized to you? Did you ignore her again out of spite? Hahaha]

[This tone is really different hahaha]

Mu Qiu saved a few pictures, refreshed the news, and a marketing account pushed her the latest news.

#Su Yan and Lin Banyan Break Up#

Just got exposed and already broken up?

She clicked in to take a look and it turned out they had broken up long ago, apparently they dated for quite some time before breaking up not long after being exposed.

So, Mu Qiu recalled seeing in the first episode... at that time, Su Yan and Lin Banyan had already broken up, yet they were kissing explosively?

Hiss, could it be a plot of deep-seated love and coercion? Or a breakup then regretting and reuniting?

The top traffic snow queen and the imperial princess model have quite an engaging setup.

She originally wanted to return to Shi Yuhuai’s Weibo to comment, but the scoop was too hot, it was everywhere.

Every refresh was filled with discussions about this matter, with various leaked photos and videos covering her view.

Mu Qiu casually clicked into a video.

Lin Banyan, just out of the company, was surrounded by reporters and fans swarming her, and even her bodyguards couldn’t block them.

She lowered her head, struggling to walk out, while reporters kept taking photos and asking questions, each sharper than the last, all inquiring about her relationship breakup with Su Yan.

Someone even asked whether after breaking up with Su Yan, she chose to be with Shi Yuhuai.

Lin Banyan trudged along, wearing a hat and mask, not glancing sideways, moving slowly out while someone reached out to pull her clothes, thankfully blocked by the company’s quickly-arrived bodyguards.

Mu Qiu watched, frowning fiercely.

The other party is top-tier, the influx of reporters was predictable, in theory at least.

But she hadn’t been long in the entertainment industry, never really encountered such a scene, and now watching Lin Banyan’s ordeal, couldn’t help but feel afraid in hindsight.

Lin Banyan has Jiali’s protection and fan support, and still, it’s like this; what if it were her?

Cheng Zhirang’s influence is on par with Su Yan’s in the idol circle, plus nearly a month of show exposure, with national popularity and heat continuously rising.

If their relationship got exposed, would there be an even bigger backlash?

However, even though the last news of a hidden marriage and child came out, she hadn’t encountered such a predicament of being surrounded by reporters.

Even when she returned to Yun City from Willow Leaf City alone, no one openly troubled her.

Mu Qiu absentmindedly fiddled with her phone’s edge, looking out at the dim evening light from the bay window, her gaze vacant.

Was it Cheng Zhirang’s protection?

The news about her and Cheng Zhirang’s alleged hidden marriage and child was released at the end of the third episode.

By the time the show ended, the rumor was everywhere, she was notified by Li Yang’s assistant, then Cheng Zhirang reached out to her.

She merely passively discussed clearing it up on Weibo with Cheng Zhirang; his assistant was comforting the directors, not letting her worry.

He always had that composed, carefree demeanor, seeing him made it seem like it was just a minor issue easily resolved, no need for over-concern.

Later, she returned home to find saesang fans intruding, and he came over to handle it.

Then......

He agreed to her "unreasonable" request, then took her to Yishan’s apartment, simply advising her not to worry, not to mind external opinions.

So she stayed quietly in Yishan through the most rampant and vile period of the rumor, except for phone contact with him, she stayed in the room cooking, writing, and drawing.

Never facing the same siege as Lin Banyan now.

So indeed, she was protected by Cheng Zhirang.

Mu Qiu snapped back to reality, biting her lip, picked up the phone, and sent Cheng Zhirang a message.

It was her emoji pack.

[Brother Cheng is super, super, super handsome today too! .jpg]

A while later, a message came back from that side.

[Cheng Zhirang: Thank you for the compliment, I’m sure you look very pretty today too]

Mu Qiu curled her lips, smiling with crescent eyes.

Meanwhile, at the television festival gala, Cheng Zhirang finally shifted from sitting upright to looking down at his phone.

The phone’s glow illuminated his face, casting a unique light on his gentle expression and softened facial lines.

The artists at the same round table couldn’t help but look at him, with a familiar actor asking, "What did you see to smile so gently?"

Cheng Zhirang put away his phone: "Nothing much, just received a compliment."

"Don’t you get compliments all the time?"

"This one’s different."
