Chapter 665: Chapter 664: Turning My Head, I See Their Smiles
Jokes aside, the two of them are like needles facing off... Okay, actually it’s just Shu Ran being both the needle and the wheat spear.
Shi Yuhuai never felt at odds with Shu Ran the entire time.
After a few laughs, the head of the family stepped up at the right moment to steer things back on track.
"Now we know Chu Qiu took out Brother Huai and Guan Yu, and Shu Ran took out Guo Yin and Chen Yi. So what about Han Xizheng? How did Han Xizheng get out? Who did it?"
It’s not hard to narrow down the suspect list, and figuring out which monster took someone out is ever less of a problem. Because the times when Han Xizheng and Shi Yuhuai got out were close, and only two monster cards were activated at the time.
The cards were 813 and 049, with only 049 capable of instant kills.
There are only three traitors who could use 049 to kill, and we can basically rule out Shu Ran. What she says when she’s aggravated tends to be quite truthful.
So that leaves Cheng Zhirang and Chu Qiu.
Mu Qiu looked up at Cheng Zhirang.
Before Han Xizheng got out, who knows if he realized that the usage rights of 049 could be shared.
If he did realize, the culprit is most likely him. But if he was really as clueless as he seemed in his second round statement, then it’s Chu Qiu.
The latter is more likely, because the little paper scraps Chu Qiu scattered were like landmines, impossible to guard against.
Everyone looked at each other, wide-eyed and incredulous. Han Xizheng carefully observed the reactions of the three suspects, trying to find the person who set him up.
But no one stepped forward.
After waiting a while, Chu Qiu spoke up, "No way, it couldn’t be me, right?"
He scattered those paper scraps casually, considering the show’s length, he even just scattered them on one path. That path was such a mess that even if there were white paper scraps on the ground, they wouldn’t be too noticeable, not likely to arouse suspicion.
But there shouldn’t have been that many people walking that path!
Li Yang held back his laughter, asking, "So, Brother Han, is this an unexpected delight?"
Chu Qiu matched eyes with the muscles on Han Xizheng’s arm, closing his eyes in despair, and replied to Li Yang, "It’s an unexpected revenge."
"Hahahahahahahahaha! You’re gonna kill me with laughter, Brother Chu!"
Mu Qiu couldn’t hold it in either, joining in the laughter. Zhao Yu, Guo Yin, and Chen Yi were laughing with their mouths covered.
"Causing harm isn’t something you want, once it’s done you can’t just walk away!"
"Because of your little paper scraps, Brother Huai and Brother Han couldn’t even do anything before they got eliminated. If it were me, I’d be ready to bite your head off!"
"Hahaha Brother Han wants to punch you to death! See that? His muscles are all tense!"
The atmosphere was cheerful and joyous, even Cheng Zhirang and Shi Yuhuai, who weren’t participating in the laughing and teasing, had deeper smiles.
Looking around was a desolate wasteland, above was the orange glow still radiating heat, and next to him was the laughter and joy of those around him, and the bright brows and eyes of the person he liked.
Cheng Zhirang watched all this gently, listening to their laughter, seeing their smiles, and receiving the joy they conveyed.
Before, he didn’t join variety shows, only acted. Acting is a procedural interaction between an actor and other actors, an exchange of lines and the emotions conveyed through them. He had experienced this many times over the last ten years.
But variety shows are different.
On the show, he met people, went from strangers to acquaintances with them, from being reserved and gentlemanly to relaxed and enjoying it, from being overwhelmed to easily responding.
Here, everyone’s genuine side is interacting.
Mu Qiu is smart and rational, knows how to take care of everyone’s feelings; Guan Yu is carefree but actually very meticulous, never letting things get awkward; Shu Ran can be pretentious but is very perceptive, no matter how embarrassing or angry she gets, she always considers the program’s image.
Li Yang is sunny and cheerful, even after becoming an overnight sensation he retains his youthful heart, with some caution; Shi Yuhuai is straight-laced and indifferent, but is actually very capable of assessing situations and acting accordingly, sometimes seeing staff exhausted asleep on the floor, he’d go around looking for clothes to cover them up.
There are also some interesting or boring guest stars, everyone is real and multifaceted, making him realize that the people on camera aren’t all just trying to show the side they want others to see.
The teammates he interacts with daily are real and lively. And the liveliest one—
He looked at Mu Qiu laughing brightly in the middle, and after meeting her inquisitive gaze, he beamed a radiant smile.
Look, he’s got the liveliest one in his grasp.
The barrage in the live stream lessened a bit, everyone silently watching this beautiful scene.
[This is the group, let them stay on for many, many episodes, forever without end]
[It’s the seventh episode already...]
[Getting older gets you emotional, even watching a long shot makes me want to cry]
[Brother Cheng’s smile is so joyful]
[Who would’ve thought, when brother joined the pilot episode, our biggest wish was to break his semi-permanent smile]
[This episode, they’re all friends, everyone’s so happy and relaxed]
[Hahahaha Chu Qiu this really nailed it! If these were scattered everywhere, wouldn’t they all be gone at the start?]
[And then Mu Qiu and the rest are still first place? Hahaha]
[Feels like Brother Cheng’s gaze is both distant and close]
[Whoa, Shu Ran really outdid herself intellectually this episode]
[The kids are causing a ruckus, and the head is laughing]
[Unexpected revenge hahahahaha omg! For a moment I don’t know whether to pity Han Xizheng or Chu Qiu]
[Is this what it means to kill without drawing blood? These two damaging methods, one couldn’t think of them without a stroke of genius in the brain]
[Brother Huai and Han Xizheng must be fuming]
[Chen Yi and Guo Yin too, must be fuming, they really thought there was a schemer mixed in... Wait, actually there really was a schemer among them]
[Brother Huai blew up! Hahaha but the fans just want to laugh]
[It’s okay Brother Huai, at least you got to eat two more packs of instant noodles and crisps, as long as you’re not hungry, don’t worry about the rest]
[Ah, next episode Brother Huai’s in the high-risk group]
[If only the order and people who got those monster cards changed, the ending would definitely be different]
[The "innocent bystander" support and civilians survived till the end]
[I never would’ve dreamed of this random bombing method, where you kill one after another, my vision was narrow]
[Everyone this episode had tricks up their sleeves, except for a few naive muscle-bound male guest stars]
[Li Yang’s even using his brain to trick people, and using a life-for-a-life method, so touching]
[The two MVPs didn’t dodge despite having hacks, did the hacks expire?]
[Brother Cheng’s t-shirt is soaked with sweat, those scapulae and back muscles are truly alluring/drooling.jpg]
[Let me think, from what I just observed, all the male guests standing here have muscles, probably only Guo Yin and Chen Yi are a bit leaner]
[Shen Zhousong’s physique I just love, standing with Brother Cheng is a powerhouse combo, standing with the female guests he’s like a man with little girls]
