I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 423: Director · Waning Moon Outside the Window · Performance
The interaction between the two was much the same as before, with fans in control of the scene, sending a large amount of program-related barrage, discussing only the program plot, not the romance.
So the barrage was basically peaceful, all about the program.
After getting a little information from Mu Qiu, Cheng Zhirang began to prepare for the performance.
Although he had big doubts, intuition told him that Jiang Lu’s performance shouldn’t be about this content, but he only had the information Mu Qiu gave him, so he had no choice but to perform like this.
Performing is not like writing, where it’s set in stone; when he changes his body and facial expressions, the corresponding meanings can be worlds apart.
This way, maybe he could align with Jiang Lu’s performance.
He put a small throw pillow under his head on the couch, then lay on his side, those beautiful eyes flickered twice, and then drooped down, showing a dazed and absent-minded state.
Then he reached out in the direction of the director.
A photographer very perceptively pointed the camera at that hand.
Slender, well-proportioned, with distinct joints.
Reaching toward the direction of the director.
It paused halfway for two seconds, then the fingers curled slightly, grasped airily, and returned weakly.
If the hand were a bit more slender, and the owner a bit more frail, it would give a sense of hopeless despair.
But in fact, the hand was thin and powerful, and the owner even had chest and abs, so hopeless despair turned into... unrequited desire?
The drama of life turned into a drama of love.
Mu Qiu, through a layer of red armband fabric, relying on others not seeing she had opened her eyes, stared at Cheng Zhirang unabashedly.
From his fingertips to his upper body, lower body, her gaze swept over him intimately as if a breeze.
Until his eyelashes trembled slightly, his Lian Yan eyes closed, and the hand slowly retracted on the couch, ending the performance.
The people standing opposite Mu Qiu, watching the show, raised their hands ready to applaud, Mu Qiu instinctively raised her hand prepared to clap, and just as she was about to pose, she suddenly remembered—how could a blind person know it was time to end?
One has to wait until others start clapping to know.
So she patiently waited until others clapped, then pretended to directly end it, standing up enthusiastically to applaud.
Shu Ran said, "Mu Qiu, wrong direction again, Brother Cheng is slightly to your left. You’re pretty good at pretending."
Mu Qiu kept her poker face and turned a small half-circle to the left, saying, "Piece of cake."
Beside her, Jiang Lu’s eyes twinkled, suddenly smiling and saying, "Cheng Zhirang’s pose just now always makes me feel familiar, kind of like..."
He paused for a bit, feeling a bit vexed, "Like what? It’s a very familiar statue, lying sideway, seemed like holding a woman."
Described clearly, but just couldn’t recall the name.
Mu Qiu pondered a bit and considerately asked, "Adam statue?"
"Yes!" Jiang Lu had a sudden realization, "It’s the Adam statue, if you don’t look at the second half of the performance, it indeed looks a lot like it."
Mu Qiu said, "Does look quite like..."
"Mu Qiu violated the Control Lock rule once! Deduct one point!"
Before she could finish speaking, she heard this electronic voice, stunned.
The others also looked at her doubtfully with an "ah" expression.
Quiet for a second, Guan Yu was just about to stand up and babble but got pulled back by Shi Yuhuai.
"Mmph mmph! Mmph mmph!"
Mu Qiu, how did you know it’s the Adam statue?! There are thousands of sculptures in the world, how did you know Brother Cheng looks like Adam?!
Excited to the point of flaring nostrils.
But those beside her who were deaf dared not join in, those mute dared not speak, only the lame was free to express opinions.
Shu Ran suddenly felt a sense of "the whole program depends on my performance" and "everyone is watching my performance now".
She said, "Very good, I knew you must have peeked through that layer of fabric."
Li Yang covered his eyes, "How did you know it looked like the Adam statue?"
Mu Qiu, "...I didn’t realize!!! Sob sob sob sob sob sob Brother Jiang Lu, you did it on purpose!"
How could she know that avoiding one hurdle, there’s yet another? Being blind is too hard?!
Jiang Lu saw her so excited, spread his hands, tilted his head, made a wink, the fox eyes’ tail lines into a line, electric eyes, making one’s bones go soft.
Mu Qiu swallowed, immediately closed her eyes, tied the red armband tighter.
Men are all habitual liars; she’s still too young and needs to eradicate such temptations from the source.
Cheng Zhirang keeping her every move on the side with his peripheral sight, got up from the last position, stood at the spot surrounded by them and asked the director, "Is it over?"
Having pressed the stopwatch, the director nodded, held up a small horn.
"Shu Ran’s group confirms ending, assessing conformity of results."
After speaking, a large screen on the blank wall behind the director lit up.
The line for Jiang Lu was placed up there, considering there’s a blind person on site, accompanied with female voice-reading.
[Beauty on couch, lightly waving a small fan, dazedly gazing at the remnant moon outside the window]
Cheng Zhirang, "?"
Mu Qiu, "??"
Shu Ran, "???"
Shi Yuhuai, "......"
Jiang Lu closed his eyes and sighed.
Mu Qiu opened her mouth, painfully asked, "So, was the remnant moon outside the window the director?"
Director·Remnant moon outside the window·epic fail.
Shu Ran, "So how did waving a fan turn into waving at the director?"
Cheng Zhirang was silent for a moment, also asked, "So it wasn’t Jiang Lu needing to go to the bathroom."
Jiang Lu almost wanted to swear, "So, I never had the thought of needing to go to the bathroom at all."
The group exchanged glances, then Li Yang asked the most important question.
"So where exactly did it start to go wrong from?"
This question...
Cheng Zhirang tilted his head to look at Mu Qiu, Mu Qiu looked at Li Yang, Li Yang felt he understood correctly, and tilted his head to look at Guan Yu.
Guan Yu felt even more certain she wasn’t wrong, after all, she acted directly according to Shu Ran’s written content, so when Li Yang looked at her, she directly, like a relay baton, looked accusingly at Shu Ran.
Shu Ran stiffly looked directly at Wei Yi, Wei Yi, a youngster, panicked when stared at, instinctively sought help from Qiu Shuang.
Qiu Shuang paused, slowly turned his head, also tilted his head, and stared at Shi Yuhuai, who stood behind Guan Yu pretending not to join the group chat with his head slightly up.
"Brother Huai, you......"
Shi Yuhuai shook his head: Not me.
"I think it’s you. Brother Huai, where’s the paper you wrote?"
Full of "evidence" on it.
Shi Yuhuai raised his chin, spread his hands: Gone.
Qiu Shuang, "......"
Why does it seem so much like a kid caught cheating trying to cover up the facts?
Fortunately, although there was no "evidence", there were still witnesses.
Jiang Lu stood up, very tactfully said, "Only blame our Brother Huai is a realist."
How realist? Perhaps even if he performed pretending to eat the poisoned apple as Snow White, it could be written as Jiang Lu got poisoned while eating.
With witnesses, the crime had nowhere to hide, while Shi Yuhuai could only "try hard to argue".
"But I said it was a fan......"
"Shi Yuhuai violated the Control Lock rule for the second time, deducting a second point!"
Shi Yuhuai’s chest choked.
