I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 357: Where’s Your Red Armband, Brother Huai?

Chapter 357: Chapter 357: Where’s Your Red Armband, Brother Huai?

No wonder he’s not bothered at all by the spies in the team, it turns out he’s had a plan all along.

Li Yang admitted he was a bit convinced, but he still felt a bit unwilling when he thought about their starting strength.

"If Brother Cheng were here, we’d be the strongest at the start, getting first place would be no problem."

"I don’t think so," Guan Yu said meaningfully, "even if Brother Cheng were here, you might not necessarily be able to beat us."

Fu Ran is a perfect example; what’s the use of being strong? Their team just happens to have someone who can hold back Cheng Zhirang.

Li Yang paused, recalling the scene he saw last time where Cheng Zhirang and Mu Qiu were secretly holding hands, and his momentum deflated instantly.

"True, you three bandits, even with Brother Cheng, probably couldn’t handle it."

"Not necessarily," Shi Yuhuai suddenly spoke up, raising his hand to ask the director, "I have a privilege, I can get three of the most expensive food items in the simplest game. So why was it just three skewers of food added, and not three grand gift packages?"

After two seconds of silence, Li Yang became agitated again.

"Yeah! Director, you said it could be exchanged for the most expensive food! The most expensive must be Mu Qiu’s big gift package, right?! Why don’t we get the gift package?!"

Their eyes showed accusatory looks, especially Shi Yuhuai, who just stared at the director without saying anything, like a newly grown-up son thinking the teacher made a mistake, trying to make the teacher realize his error with just a look.

The director raised a small loudspeaker to explain, "This privilege only applies to the personal battle’s food reward; the big gift package is a reward for the faction battle."

Shi Yuhuai frowned, his gaze even more accusatory, "You didn’t say that at the start."

Director: "Well, I didn’t expect you to be so fanciful and go too far."

Shi Yuhuai was at a loss for words: "......"

"Also," the director seemed to find amusement in subtly needling Shi Yuhuai, adding, "Brother Huai, your red armband has been hidden the whole episode, do you think no one noticed?"

Shi Yuhuai: "......"

He immediately took a half-step back, letting his arm drop to cover the opening of his pants pocket.

Mu Qiu and the others craned their necks, like in a rehearsed routine, each head higher than the last, peering at him in a row.

Then, like a scanner, they scrutinized him from top to bottom.

Mu Qiu: "I knew it. I always felt Brother Huai was missing something this episode."

Li Yang: "That’s right, there’s also the red armband."

Ye Mian: "I want to see what it looks like when the legendary doorman’s red armband is put on live."

Guan Yu: "Hahahahaha, hurry up! Quickly make Brother Huai put it on!"

Shu Ran: "It only looks perfect if you wear it, Brother Huai. Hurry up and put it on!"

Tang Zi joined in the commotion: "Brother Huai, just put it on and show us, okay? Our new guests haven’t seen you guys wear it yet."

Shi Yuhuai firmly and decisively rejected her suggestion.

"You can see Mu Qiu and the others wearing it in the next episode."

Tang Zi: "...I do want to come back next episode too."

Fat chance.

If they don’t change the cast here, she doesn’t want to come back.

Shi Yuhuai remained indifferent, resolutely refusing, with no intention of negotiating.

Surrounded by everyone, he stubbornly refused to put it on until Cheng Zhirang also joined in. Eight people crowded around him, and Li Yang pulled the red armband out of his pocket, with several people holding his hands and legs, finally forcing it on him.

The white team uniform with the red armband looked a little better than a doorman, like a PE teacher inspecting cleanliness at the school.

As soon as he put it on and the people on the outer circle dispersed, the sharp photographer immediately swarmed in to take a flurry of shots of him.

Guan Yu was still heckling on the side: "Follow the rules! Follow the rules, Brother Huai!"

Shi Yuhuai’s motion to tear off the armband suddenly stopped. Yet, the way he looked at his own arm was full of disdain, looking like he could hardly stand it.

It made one suspect he was going to secretly tear it off when no one was watching.

Being one meter ninety with such a small action, the contrast was irresistibly cute.

Mu Qiu took a few more glances, pondering and feeling she knew how to write a male lead with cute contrasts—

He should be tall, look cold, have a strong physique, be a picky eater, have a sweet smile, love doing secretive little actions, and be capable of feigning innocence, preferably also able to cry.

Imagining Shi Yuhuai crying... how thrilling, exciting, and fun!

She placed her hand against her lips to cough lightly, suppressing the smile trying to escape her lips.

Guan Yu noticed her action, glanced at her curiously from the corner of her eye, found nothing strange about her expression, and turned back, heckling the director to quickly play the "award speech" for the third group.

The host’s passionate and collected tone erupted again from the big screen.

"Overall ranking last: ’Loves to eat roasted garlic’ group, penalized by losing two meat skewers, replaced with vegetarian ones! Now announcing the last place evaluation speech—

They are gentle and accommodating, resilient and hardworking! Even if they appear separated in spirit, some have gone astray, but in the face of a sincere heart, brief failures and setbacks can’t make them lose heart!

Except for no barbecue to eat at night and having to eat roasted garlic, this experience will only bolster their confidence, striving for better, and aiming to be rock bottom again!"

Guan Yu immediately burst into laughter, appreciating the staff’s creativity: "Hahahahaha, strive for better and aim to be rock bottom! That speech is truly brilliant!"

Shu Ran & Fu Ran & Tang Zi: "......"

Strive for rock bottom, my foot.

Shu Ran was so mad her nose almost went askew, gritting her teeth in a fake smile: "Finished announcing? If so, hurry up and get lost!"

Guan Yu: "Aren’t you going to give a victory speech?"

"The speech already said everything, what else is there to say?" Shu Ran paused, turning to ask Tang Zi, "Do you want to say something?"

Tang Zi, also wearing a fake smile, when caught in the spotlight, immediately switched to a more genuine smile, looking at the camera helplessly: "What else to say? Isn’t giving a victory speech something for the first place people?"

As soon as she spoke, Shu Ran wanted to stop her, but it was too late.

Guan Yu, riding the opportunity, the word "first place" had barely left Tang Zi’s mouth when she pretended to dust off her collar, as if she were accepting an interview in formal attire on the red carpet, stepping forward one step.

"Since everyone seems so keen to hear our thoughts, I reluctantly stand up to say a few words."

Shu Ran: "...I knew it."

Last time it was Mu Qiu, this time it’s Guan Yu, these two really shouldn’t be given too much screen time.

Tang Zi, as the newcomer, truly hadn’t expected an enforced addition to the drama, her expression speaking volumes.

What kind of people are on this show anyway?

Even Mu Qiu felt the drama was a bit overdone, covering her face with one hand while reaching out to grab Guan Yu with the other.

"Let it go, Sister Guan Yu, I think if we repeat our exploits again, Brother Huai will..."

Guan Yu raised an "air microphone" to her mouth, pulling Mu Qiu along.

"It seems even our champion of champions wishes to say something, come on, let’s invite Miss Mu Qiu to share the key secret to this victory!"

Mu Qiu: "......"
