I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 348: What Are You Looking At, Grandpa?

Chapter 348: Chapter 348: What Are You Looking At, Grandpa?

What a pity we can’t snatch anymore. Otherwise, they could have snatched again.

Snatch everything from her.

Shu Ran thought to herself, still elegantly smiling. Tang Zi did the same, smiling happily, but what she was thinking was different.

She thought, if they don’t include her in their alliance, by the end of this episode, people will criticize them for excluding the guest star.

But if they could still snatch, she’d be willing to join them. A battle of the sexes would surely make for great entertainment.

Their thoughts were different, yet their smiles were similar, and they both spoke without thinking first.

Mu Qiu and the others stood at the side, watching these two go back and forth, thinking to themselves – today’s female celebrities are frightening.

Fu Ran had no interest in taking part in their actions. When they finished dividing the spoils, he took Ye Mian and left.

Earlier, she mentioned wanting to try the sea trampoline, and he remembered.

The couple having an inter-group romance, wearing life jackets, headed to the beach; Shi Yuhuai chose the surfing game, and Cheng Zhirang also went to the big screen, ready to choose a task.

Just the four of them gathered here.

Mu Qiu silently nudged Guan Yu.

Without a word, this action was seen by Tang Zi, and her smile momentarily faltered. She suddenly asked, seemingly unintentionally, in surprise: "Mu Qiu, how come you still have so many stickers even after dividing them?"

Mu Qiu, still calm, smiled like Shu Ran: "Because Brother Huai didn’t snatch from me, so I naturally have more than you all."

After saying that with a smile, she quickly glanced around and asked back: "And you, Tang Zixiao, how many do you have now? It’s already four o’clock, and the game will likely end around six or seven when we have the barbecue. Do you have enough to eat?"

Tang Zi looked surprised, not knowing what her sudden concern meant, and hesitated:

"Four, I have one simple enoki, which I got from a game earlier."

Four is actually quite a lot, compared to Fu Ran, who only had one left, and Li Yang, who had just three left.

But she started with the least and only "engaged" with two people during the game, resulting in neither winning nor losing, leaving her looking rather... bland and pitiful.

Everyone always seemed to think she should have the least. Otherwise, why would nobody try to snatch from her?

The only one who snatched from her was her arch-nemesis Shu Ran, and it was said she approached her on her own only to be counter-snapped by Shu Ran for one.

Looking at it this way, the sticker taken from Li Yang seemed to have been snatched because Li Yang was too embarrassed to snatch from an unfamiliar girl, so it went smoothly.

Moreover, this lady was recently the lead in a hit drama, very popular, and rumors were bound to fly with them standing together, so she decided to let one sticker go.

Although it’s narrow-minded to see someone in such a way, sometimes the other person’s words and actions make it hard not to become narrow-minded and view them disrespectfully.

These thoughts quickly passed through Mu Qiu’s mind, as she finally gently smiled and plucked an abalone food sticker from her arm. In the incredulous stares of the other three, she handed it to her.

"I’ll give you one."

Shu Ran had words on the tip of her tongue, glaring at Mu Qiu as if sparks would fly from her eyes.

Tang Zi hesitated for a moment, still in disbelief: "For me? You’re just giving it to me like this?"

"Yes, giving it to you," Mu Qiu pushed the abalone sticker further forward, "take it as getting a promise. If anyone picks the snatching sticker task later, you can’t snatch mine."

So there were conditions. Tang Zi secretly curled her lips and smiled:

"You mean, like what you guys did last episode, forming an alliance?"

Mu Qiu: "Kind of. But you’re not losing out, are you? If no one chooses this game again, the sticker is free for you."

Tang Zi smiled: "I thought you had so many stickers and didn’t like this, so you could give it away for free."

Shu Ran could no longer tolerate this tea-like conversation and was about to step forward to retort when Mu Qiu suddenly went "hey,"

In that twisted, third-tone way, it felt like she was about to grab Tang Zi’s hand and say, "Wouldn’t that be too distant, dear family-in-law?"

She said with a hint of suggestion:

"Isn’t it because you regard me so highly, Tang Zixiao? Hoping I hand it over for free so you can add it to your dinner? Let’s forget about it; such windfalls should be paid for with equal exchange to be reasonable."

Tang Zi’s smile almost faltered.

Having waited for windfalls before, hearing such ambiguous words made her involuntarily feel guilty, and after guilt came anger.

In her anger, her smile froze awkwardly.

Tang Zi lowered her head to adjust her expression, and in passing, pushed the abalone sticker she had handed over back:

"You’re right; relying on others is unreliable. I’ll just earn it honestly through the game. I don’t need this sticker either. I think my four are better off compared to Li Yang, and anyway, I can’t eat much tonight."

Mu Qiu swiftly took it back: "Alright then, good luck, Tang Zixiao. We can eat together tonight."

She was going to give it, but it was just a little price to prevent her from pestering Cheng Zhirang while preparing, and a not-so-reliable insurance for herself in the next game.

No receipt, no problem.

Tang Zi moved her lips: "Thank you."

Mu Qiu watched her leave with a smile, pinned the abalone sticker back onto her shoulder, and clutched the several stickers from the large package in her hand.

"Let’s go, Sister Guan Yu, Sister Shu Ran, let’s check out other games."

She maintained a calm demeanor, causing Shu Ran and Guan Yu to raise their eyebrows.

No one knew what happened in the brief moments while changing clothes with Cheng Zhirang and Tang Zi that made Mu Qiu, who usually avoided gimmicks, confront people openly on the show.

The chicken soup for the soul was well delivered, without a hint of sarcasm.

The three of them walked in the direction Tang Zi left.

At four in the afternoon, the sun by the sea was no longer as energetic as it was in the morning and noon. Now it slanted, like an egg trying to slide back to its starting position on a slippery glass, struggling to cast its last intense sunlight.

The sea breeze was comfortable, and Mu Qiu exhaled lightly and squinted in the direction of the blowing wind to retie her hair.

Meanwhile, she pondered the problem she just thought of — what if someone chose the sticker snatching game again?

Like Li Yang, who had been badly snatched this round, Shi Yuhuai, Fu Ran, and probably Tang Zi, who would want to snatch her stickers.

If the forced game began again, she, with her large package of stickers, would be the biggest target.

Not to mention counter-snatching, the most important issue now was, how to keep her current stickers secure?

Perhaps... paying a protection fee and hiring a "bodyguard" might work.

Just as she was seriously considering this, a young male idol munching on sunflower seeds passed by.

Then, while munching seeds, circled around the three of them, staring intently at the food stickers on their arms.

Guan Yu: "What are you looking at, sir?"
