Fine, let him be a psycho. A handso psycho can be quite lovable.
Okay, that’s not the point. The point is—
"He approached to do a scene before, felt quite psycho then, and now that he’s next to you, you feel the sa... "
Guan Yu stood up, brushed off the crumbs from her petal skirt, and asked, "You don’t think it’s a coincidence?"
Mu Qiu: "I always feel Brother Cheng seems too laid-back, haven’t seen him since the scene."
"Isn’t Brother Huai the sa? Haven’t seen him since the beginning," Guan Yu pursed her lips.
"I’ve seen him," Mu Qiu instinctively touched the knife at her waist, "stabbed him a few tis, and then he got back at ."
Guan Yu’s gaze fell on the retractable knife: "Did you try to scare Brother Huai with this?"
"...That wasn’t to scare! He startled first, my reaction was instinctive."
Guan Yu didn’t believe her excuse, sure that she excitedly tried to scare Shi Yuhuai with the knife, only to be retaliated.
Considering Shi Yuhuai’s hot temper at the ti, stabbing her five or six or even ten tis with the knife wasn’t out of the question.
She asked again: "So when you encountered him, what did you talk about?"
"He found my identity card, but I offended him, so in the end, he gave the identity card to Brother Cheng to pass on to ."
Guan Yu turned away from the cara, showing a subtly gossipy expression.
Even a straight guy knows to create opportunities for a flirting couple?
Mu Qiu didn’t know what she was thinking, continuing, "Brother Cheng, too, quietly ca in, handed the identity card, and said he should have a plot point there, but the female lead isn’t present."
...How could the female lead not be there?
Guest perforrs are placed at plot points by the production team after screening.
Because so guest perforrs are of high status, it’s impossible for them not to be at the performance monts.
Mu Qiu’s eyes shifted, staring straight at Guan Yu.
Guan Yu, under her gaze, felt a bit tense: "What’s up?"
"I think Brother Cheng is up to sothing."
——
After parting ways with Guan Yu, Mu Qiu sped up again.
She even used her 800-ter sprint speed from school, continuously running around nearby alleys, pavilions, moats, and streets.
Wherever there were people, whether in ancient costus or not, she’d glance around while panting, then continue running.
In the grey-and-green interlaced Ancient City, a flash of bright red sped forward, with the red headband and gauze clothes fluttering in the wind.
The follow cara person chased her through alley after alley, trying to capture every ti she looked back, turned, or gazed upward.
Mu Qiu watched the surroundings for any signs of people, panting seriously.
Reaching an alley with people, she crouched outside to peek in, her continuous panting making her throat dry and even a bit sore.
The staff behind her also panted, crouching down with her.
The new assistant assigned by the production team asked her quietly: "Mu Qiu, why are you so determined? Are you aiming for first place? At your current pace, you’re definitely not last."
Isn’t everyone’s motto just not to be the last?
Mu Qiu swallowed to relieve her dry throat, whispering: "This is Different.
Like in past exams, they hoped not to drop grades, but if you’re told your ability could actually contend for first place, you’d want to chase it."
Moreover, there’s Cheng Zhirang, whose identity and progress are unknown, possibly overtaking her any ti.
Guan Yu just reminded her that Cheng Zhirang holds so benefit from the production team, different from Guan Yu’s, potentially speeding up his progress.
And while running, she kept thinking and found sothing unusual—she’s passed through many alleys but hadn’t seen any extras dressed like Cheng Zhirang.
He keeps saying the notes guide him to plot clues, yet he’s always alone, no extras appearing to do scenes with him.
Others get clues from guest perforrs, why doesn’t he?
Unless, in his character set-up, he inherently doesn’t need to find plot clues.
Instead, he’s tasked with completing a mission.
If he completes it, he can swiftly finish the test.
To snag first place, she must speed up.
If she can be fast enough, gather all clues ntioned in the prompt, sprint back for the final test, perhaps she can not only overtake Guan Yu but also Cheng Zhirang.
She softly communicated her analysis to the cara, then quietly exited after the performance ended at the alley, gesturing "ok" to the caraman.
"Need to run again, sorry to trouble you all,"
She said, and off she went, followed by a group running behind her.
[That logic, impressive!]
[No wonder she writes novels, must have often revisited her stories to fill in plot holes!]
[So Brother Cheng really is suspicious]
[Missed the identity ssage earlier, sisters, can you reveal it now?]
[Brother Cheng has already "hunted" three female guests. Given the others’ progress, three seems to be the limit, so he needs to "hunt" three to take the test?]
[These test entry requirents are quite strict]
[So Guan Yu’s funny start ends up as a tragic storyline??]
[Wow, Cheng Huixue being knocked to the ground during the test and hit by a car was so damn realistic it scared ]
[Guan Yu was dumbfounded, staring blankly at the groaning Cheng Huixue laying there]
[Can you believe, the muscular man leading the assault, was also an old actor...]
[The cara focusing on Cheng Huixue slowly closing her eyes... is this a movie? Is this what a variety show should do???]
[Well, now even Guan Yu has a ntal shadow]
[Brother Cheng really is a psycho/crying while laughing]
[Qiuqiu is so smart! Go fast!]
[Since Guan Yu and Brother Cheng have benefits, what are Brother Huai and Shu Ran’s punishnts?]
[This entire show feels like Brother Huai’s biggest punishnt hahahahahaha]
[Hasn’t Shu Ran suffered enough? Taking care of a donkey cart and postpartum pig care hahahahahaha it gets funnier the more you say it!]
[I don’t think the production team will let them off so easily]
[I feel Guan Yu had to pay a price for her benefit, and Brother Cheng likely did too]
[Running like this, it’s really like a Female Knight saving the world]
[Is the Female Knight chasing a psycho]
[Why isn’t Cheng Zhi sour? When Brother i Yan looks deeply into their eyes, even I get a bit jealous]
[Not jealous, not jealous, just appreciate the looks in this situation; wouldn’t want it to happen to ]
[He used to do just one show a year, no program participation, even seeing him was a luxury, no room for jealousy]
[Mu Qiu is getting ready to run back!]
[Looks like a team battle is about to break out]
[Team battle... does it an intra-team fighting?]
