I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 321: Flying Little White Swan

The audience’s discussion topics aside, let’s return to the camera feed.

The speedboat was accelerating faster and faster, and under the dual influence of thrust and inertia, the front end of Shu Ran’s surfboard lifted again.

The screams went up another notch as she tightly gripped the handles and leaned back, making the surfboard feel like a horse rearing up.

Guan Yu, being towed by the speedboat next door, turned her head slightly to look back: "Oh wow, Shu Ran, are you treating the surfboard like a motorcycle?!"

Her smile hadn’t even fully formed because when she slightly leaned backward to look at Shu Ran’s movement, her center of gravity shifted back. Amid the surprised cries from fans on the beach, the front of her surfboard also lifted up.

Scared, she quickly grabbed the handles, closed her eyes, and screamed.

"Ahhhh! I’m gonna fall, I’m gonna turn into the sea!!!"

Mu Qiu and Li Yang laughed heartlessly at her.

Mu Qiu wanted to say something loudly, but Cheng Zhirang, a bit behind, suddenly raised his voice to say to everyone: "Hold tight, we’re approaching the turning point!"

Everyone instantly snapped to attention.

The speedboat didn’t accelerate further, but it was already very fast, and before reaching the designated turning point marked by the show crew, it quickly turned left to head back.

Each boat turned in sequence, slicing through the water at an angle and creating a wave, with the surfboards behind being thrown into a wide arc, drenching the riders head-on.

Not only were they drenched, but the wide turns felt like being pasted against the water surface before being pulled up again.

Mu Qiu felt her elbows brushing the water’s surface, almost face-to-face with the sea, and her soul seemed to have been flung onto the beach, leaving just a passionless "hold tight" machine on the surfboard.

The thrill level of this game was already comparable to the last exhilarating big whirlpool ride!

Unable to hold back, as the turn completed and acceleration resumed, she screamed.

"Ahhh! Driver, please ease off the gas a bit!"

Her suggestion hadn’t reached the speedboat driver’s ears before being replaced by louder screams.

"Ahhhhh! I’m about to fly!!"

"I’m done! I want off the ride ahhhh!!"

"My God, my God!! Too fast!!"

"Ahhh it’s so exciting!!!"

"Senior, lean a bit forward to lower your center of gravity! Senior!!!"

"I can’t hear you!!! The sea breeze is blowing into my mouth!"

"Hahahahahaha yue—The wind’s blowing into my mouth too!"

Mu Qiu held onto the handles, listening to their shouting and laughing so hard her shoulders shook.

"Sister Guan Yu! If you can fly, you’d need a helicopter...Whoa!"

Out of the corner of her eye, something white suddenly rose on the right, and Shu Ran went from angled surfing to completely airborne on her board.

Uncertain how the protective mechanism was triggered, both sides of her surfboard suddenly popped out white inflatable pads with a poof... shaped like swan wings.

Just like previous airbags, they quickly popped out, floating on the water and increasing Shu Ran’s buoyancy. With the speedboat moving so fast, both the person and the winged pads leapt off the water.

Shu Ran’s continuous screaming hit pause.

Then resumed with even higher volume and intensity.

A screaming swan took flight.

Mu Qiu was dumbfounded, and if she didn’t have to hold onto the handles, she would’ve gladly freed her hands to applaud the show crew and Shu Ran together.

What a scene.

In front, Guan Yu and Li Yang were laughing so hard they nearly coughed up their lungs, and Li Yang eagerly shouted.

"How do you do that, how do you do that?! I want to try! Is there a button you press?!"

Mu Qiu rolled her eyes and called back loudly to him: "I think it’s the sound! Sister Shu Ran kept screaming with the loudest voice just now, try screaming!"

Li Yang immediately took a deep breath and prepared, then—

"Ahhhhhhh!!!"

A high-pitched male voice on the verge of breaking made Cheng Zhirang want to cover his ears.

[Quick, quick, quick, quick, take off your headphones!!]

[I panicked and flailed my hands in confusion]

[Ladies! He’s on the rise! Hurry, turn down the volume!]

[...Darn, still a step too late]

[My ears are gone]

[All I can say at this moment, Li Yang you practiced your voice well, Mama is touched]

[Hopefully you can shout like this at the upcoming concerts]

[Did it fly, did it fly??]

[Did Mu Qiu trick Li Yang? I can’t believe a word she says now/this woman hurt me too much.jpg]

[That tenor was so loud it bothered Brother Cheng’s eyebrows, hahaha]

[It came so suddenly, Brother Huai on the shore was startled too]

[Listen to Mu Qiu laughing so loudly]

[Tell us, Shu Ran, are you a long-lost descendant of the flying clan?]

[This is just too exciting, it’s like kayaking until you take flight; summary: feels like flying]

[Who designed this prop? It’s so girly! Pinkish white little wings flying through the sky]

[Oh my, is this dangerous?!]

[The Seven Sword Saints have emerged, sword-flying over water, and then one loses control]

[Hang in there, Shu Ran! You’ll soon reach it! The meat dish is right ahead!]

[Shu Ran: For just a bit of meat tonight, I’ve given up too much]

[Shu Ran has been so funny these past two episodes, hahahahahahaha]

[Li Yang that fool is still screaming, changing notes even!]

[I feel like it’s the signal, after all, Shu Ran didn’t do anything else, just kept screaming]

[My national little fresh sister... after two episodes of screaming, she’s almost unrecognizable]

[Take away Shu Ran, I love her more now, this is the real her]

[Shu Ran is the tsundere type, much cuter than before]

[Already left a message for her manager to buy some throat lozenges]

[The scenery at Nandu Tianhe is really nice, and the show crew hired great photographers]

[The tourists nearby are wealthy]

[The fans on site are also impressive, lying on the security’s outstretched arm, chin in hand]

[I see someone doing BBQ there? People looking like they’re lining up for skewers, hahahahahaha]

[Are they buying it for them? I’m crowdfunding five bucks for Brother Cheng to buy a grilled oyster]

[I suspect the person ahead buying oysters is up to something wrong/If you admit I’m Brother Cheng, then perfectly matched we are sisters.jpg]

In the aerial shot, seven white splashed trails appeared on the sea, with one rising and falling, creating dashed lines of spray.

Vast and boundless, the sea stretched to the distant deep blue ocean, bright sun overhead, and the horizon seemed so far it boggled the imagination of what lay beyond.

Before them lay a bustling gathering place, filled with laughter and excitement, encompassing all that could and couldn’t be imagined. Humanity always thrives in groups, and thankfully so.

Shu Ran leaning back while gripping the handle—I posted an emoji on Weibo for everyone to pair with the image. Honestly, the first thing that came to my mind was that picture; it’s perfect, capturing the vibe and the feeling exactly (dog head emoji)
