I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 271: You’re Not Secretly Crushing on Cheng Zhirang, Are You?!

Chapter 271: Chapter 271: You’re Not Secretly Crushing on Cheng Zhirang, Are You?!

"Come on, don’t tell me you forgot? Just a week ago his illegitimate child broke into your house, plus all those rumors about a secret marriage and having a child. Isn’t it awkward for you?"

Oh, so that’s what she meant.

Mu Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Not really awkward," she thought to herself, actually feeling a bit closer, and said, "Isn’t this kind of news pretty normal for celebrities? Besides, he apologized to me."

Zhao Yu pouted, "Even though we’re not implementing collective punishment anymore, right? But since you’re involved, it’s hard not to blame Cheng Zhirang a bit."

Mu Qiu frowned slightly, "This isn’t something he could control."

"I know, that’s why I only blamed him a bit, and five minutes later I was already saving his beautiful pictures again."

"......"

Why did she even respond?

"Hey, I honestly never thought I’d see you trending on Weibo one day, it totally shocked me."

She rested her elbow on the table, switched from eating crabs to shrimp, eating while talking.

Mu Qiu: "Am I supposed to lament about how quickly life turns?"

"Of course! Just two months ago you were still in a state of not finding life’s direction, ready to become a monk at any moment, right?"

"...It’s not that exaggerated."

"So have you found life’s direction now? Heading towards ’money’?"

"Aren’t we all heading towards ’money’?," Mu Qiu said, eating a piece of sticky rice pork ribs, "If I didn’t have to worry about money, I’d just find a place to enjoy my old age without further thought."

If no one had to rush about for money, it would be the end of the world.

Zhao Yu wiped her hands with a tissue, "But now you can, at least you don’t need to worry. Uncle and aunt should be able to accept your profession."

Speaking of this, the atmosphere at the table suddenly cooled down.

Mu Qiu’s mood began to turn irritable, speaking sarcastically, "Righteous and unyielding people’s teachers, aren’t going to change their views so quickly."

"You even managed to turn ’righteous and unyielding’ into a derogatory term."

"Isn’t it because they’re too rigid? They consider others too much, it’s already become an unchangeable habit."

Zhao Yu sighed, looked at her, and asked, "So when are you going back to see them?"

Mu Qiu lowered her head, her chopsticks almost shredding the second piece of rib, and said:

"Tomorrow. I’ll come back on Tuesday, just in time for you to treat me to a meal."

"Alright, bring something back for my parents for me, it’s been a month since I’ve visited."

"Okay."

The table culture among women differs from that of men, ranging from family discussions to work, to the future, and finally looping back to beauty, gossip, idols, and men.

Zhao Yu, just like a drunken man chatting away, described her prince charming with great enjoyment.

"I got knocked down once, and when I looked up, I saw him, it was like he crashed right into my heart."

Mu Qiu: "... Eww, so cheesy."

"Really! That feeling of love at first sight is just so beautiful! Plus, he looks a bit like Su Yan!"

"Like Su Yan?" Mu Qiu raised an eyebrow, "So he’s really handsome?"

"Really handsome!"

"As handsome as Cheng Zhirang?"

"......" Zhao Yu rolled her eyes, "If he were as handsome as Cheng Zhirang, how could he end up with me? He’d have debuted long ago, right?"

Mu Qiu began to laugh, Zhao Yu didn’t know what she was laughing at, just thought maybe she was a bit out of sorts.

"Getting on a hot search once made you this out of sorts, have your dreams progressed from nighttime to daytime?"

"Do you think Cheng Zhirang is good-looking?"

"How many times do I have to betray Su Yan for this? Haven’t I told you? Good-looking! Very good-looking, so good-looking it’s infuriatingly unfair, our whole office are his face fans."

Mu Qiu laughed even more.

Zhao Yu was speechless, "Are you kidding, what does someone’s good looks have to do with you... No way?!"

Mu Qiu’s laughter stopped, nah, this is too much, could she have guessed?

Zhao Yu slammed the table, stood up, her expression shocked, her tone excited, "You’re secretly in love with him?!"

Mu Qiu: "... Can’t I? He’s so good-looking, isn’t it normal for me to like him?"

"This kind of secret love can only end in failure, girl! Think it through, I thought you’d end up with your author friend, bonded forever!"

"?" Mu Qiu frowned, "End up with who?"

"Your author friend, isn’t it? Same interests, same profession, from what you said he’s a handsome guy too, right? Doesn’t that match perfectly?"

Mu Qiu thought about that friend she mentioned, and was at a loss.

"What are you thinking, you’re overthinking it."

"How is that overthinking? Isn’t he also in Hai City? Wasn’t it he who helped find the house that Cheng Zhirang’s illegitimate child broke into?"

She spoke while looking at her with eyes full of CP vibes.

Mu Qiu tried hard to explain, "Not at all, he’s been secluded writing for two months now, apart from a few good morning and good night chats, we haven’t talked much lately."

"Not chatting?" Zhao Yu sat back down with a frown, "Even in seclusion one would still surf the internet, right? Surfing the web you would know you’ve encountered some big stuff lately, didn’t even talk with you?"

"Nooo! His seclusion is precisely to avoid online distractions."

"Well, that’s a pity."

"......What’s so pitiable about it?"

"Having a secret crush on a popular actor, and you guys being on a show together, that’s bound to lead to something!"

Zhao Yu, in an urgent tone of considering her long-term plans, said, "I need to find you another way quickly, with the best way lost, of course, it’s a pity."

Mu Qiu did her best to refuse, "There’s no need to consider so much."

Just let her make mistakes over and over again and keep going. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Zhao Yu still wanted to persuade her when her phone on the table suddenly rang.

Then her expression changed, happily answering the call, her voice suddenly turned gentle.

"Hello? Yeah, I’m having dinner, with a friend, the one I told you about."

Mu Qiu took a sip of lemon water, the sourness made her get goosebumps.

Fortunately, the call didn’t last long, Zhao Yu hung up, unable to suppress the look on her face.

Mu Qiu glanced at the tablecloth in front of her, "Took a call and nearly tore the tablecloth apart. Prince Charming?"

Zhao Yu, surprisingly shy, "Yeah, doesn’t his voice sound nice?"

"Are you crazy? If I could hear his voice, you’d have to use an old school phone!"

"Just say it sounds nice and that’s it?"

"... Fine, nice, like the sound of heavenly music."

Still not as nice as Cheng Zhirang’s voice.

Zhao Yu cradled her phone adopting a coquettish posture, probably just finished with the call, now likely browsing the Su Yan fan club or something.

"I’m telling you, if I can’t get Su Yan, getting a prince charming is still good, especially when he resembles Su Yan a bit, that’s just perfect."

Mu Qiu suddenly wanted to know her thoughts on dating an idol, "What if you had the chance to meet Su Yan?"

"Are you taking me to meet him? Come on, staying away from idol lives is better, isn’t stanning about imagining a person in your mind? And if someone like me ended up with him, I’d think it’s unfair for him."

"... Alright, you do have a pretty good sense of self-awareness."
