I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!

Chapter 628 - 627: Crispy Rice with Dipping Sauce

Their conversation kept circling around the name Mu Qiu, showing that although Mu Qiu was never seen in person, rumors about her always existed in the underworld.

Li Yang had been trying to persuade for a long time, using all the "skills" he learned from Mu Qiu, Guan Yu, and even Shi Yuhuai, yet he still couldn’t convince Shu Ran to agree to an alliance.

She had become so paranoid from her teammates being conned out of the game that she was extremely wary of Mu Qiu or anyone with her traits, absolutely not trusting what he said.

Having talked until his mouth was dry, Li Yang sighed dejectedly: "Sister Shu Ran, you’ll never know what you’re missing."

"I’m missing the chance to lose, I know."

"...Alright, if no alliance then no alliance, I won’t force it. But, sister, can you not tell others that I found the third card? If we can’t work together, at least don’t expose or betray each other, okay?"

"What if I don’t agree?"

"Then I’ll have to use some tricks you’ve never seen."

Shu Ran calmly retied her hair, not worried at all.

"You can only use 049 to achieve instant kills. The moment you pounce on me, I’ll immediately shout that Li Yang is harassing me."

"...And you say I picked up the bad habits of Mu Qiu and Sister Guan Yu, Sister Shu Ran! I think it’s you who got bad from hanging out with them!"

To be able to say such slightly shameless words out loud! Shu Ran wasn’t like this before!

Though she might have always thought this way... but before, she wouldn’t say it out loud so bluntly!

Facing his accusing gaze, Shu Ran coughed awkwardly and said, "Alright, I promise you, once we walk out of this door, let’s pretend we never met. You hide, I search, I won’t sell you out, and you don’t get in my way."

"Deal!"

The two of them swore to the sky in front of the bank counter, then parted ways.

Li Yang planned to find a safe enough place to hide out, Shu Ran planned to avoid others to find other monster dossier cards.

Everyone was busy being anxious, busy surviving and striving for first place, only Guan Yu and Chu Qiu were solely focused on enjoying their last days freely.

One 813 death call had already hit them hard, and now with a third monster added, creating some bizarre countdowns, the two were even more disenchanted.

Since the last place had already been decided anyway, it didn’t matter when they got eliminated, so they decided to enjoy the apocalypse.

This was how they discussed it with each other, but what they truly thought inside, who knew.

Holding hands, they circled away from the main group, wandering through every alley for a long time, just like shopping; if they saw a clothing store, they went in to check out the clothes, if they saw a convenience store, they went in to find something to eat.

Thanks to the crew, these details were done so well, the clothes in the store were actually quite nice.

After roaming for over half an hour down the street, the two moved on to a supermarket.

As previously introduced, this supermarket was more like a shopping mall... well, a mini mall.

The first floor was a food area with the smell of vinegar, and the second floor had skincare products and clothing.

They combed the first floor again, unlocking and aligning all the movable shelves they could find.

Under the shelves that were exposed, they really found some small things.

A pack of crispy rice, a bottle of Wahaha, a bottle of sweet chili sauce, and a bag of five-spice dried tofu.

The two squatted on the ground picking up these items, almost crying with joy.

Guan Yu, lips trembling, seemed like she could cry any second: "It’s so hard, it’s so hard! I thought this would be the first show where a guest starved out of the game!"

Chu Qiu wasn’t as "emotional", staring at the stuff asking her: "How do we divide this? How about you take the sweet chili sauce with crispy rice, and I’ll be a bit unfairly treated with five-spice dried tofu and Wahaha."

"..." Guan Yu was speechless to the point her lips puffed like sausages, "Could you have some dignity? Have you ever seen a female guest eat crispy rice with sweet chili sauce?!"

"I’ve never seen a male guest doing it either!"

"Then you’re just inexperienced," Guan Yu started pulling the Wahaha bottle into her arms, "I’ve even seen a show where a male guest paired Laoganma with chocolate."

That show was the love variety show that previously stole their idea.

Chu Qiu pretended not to have heard, and began pulling harder, the two of them tugging the Wahaha bottle like it was a tug of war, refusing to let go.

This is really hurting team friendship.

So, Guan Yu suggested: "How about this, let’s find a place to hide first, and then we’ll split these four items evenly; as for the Wahaha, we’ll poke a hole and drink without touching the mouth, how does that sound?"

"That’s doable." Chu Qiu readily agreed.

The place they found was on the second floor, planning to use a fitting room. On the way upstairs, both of them were still holding onto one end of Wahaha, unwilling to let go, afraid the other would snatch it and run.

They looked around in the clothing area on the second floor, and finally, Guan Yu chose a fitting room, spacious, with a bench, enough to fit two skulking adults.

As for the cameraman, they left the fitting room door ajar, so the camera could still capture inside. The space was just too limited for a person to stand inside.

Having found the spot, it was time to divvy up the food.

Chu Qiu, with his nails, scratched the second groove from the bottom upwards on the Wahaha bottle, making it more pronounced, and pointed at that spot: "You drink first, only up to this point. Remember, only up to here, if you drink a little more, I’ll choke you till you vomit it out later."

Guan Yu rolled her eyes for the nth time.

"Sometimes I wonder why, on a whim, I invited you to join this episode? Listen to what you’re saying, is that something a teammate says to the female guest?"

Chu Qiu was unfazed: "For survival, who cares about courtesies like this. Eat quickly, drink quickly, once we finish, I want to go out and browse the clothing stores outside."

"...Did you come on the show just to browse clothing stores and pick outfits?! Are you sure you’re not in the wrong place?"

"Since we’re all waiting to die, what’s wrong with having a little wander. Are you drinking or not? If not, I’ll drink first."

Guan Yu glared at him, immediately grabbed the Wahaha, poked a hole, and under Chu Qiu’s intense gaze, lifted her head to raise the bottle.

"Stop, stop! It’s over halfway!"

Startled, Guan Yu halted, coughed a couple of times, grabbed the bottle and looked—it wasn’t even halfway!

"Can you stop chirping away so jittery?! Can you man up a bit?!"

Chastised, Chu Qiu dared not make a sound, waiting until she lifted the bottle again, his gaze followed nervously.

In this atmosphere devoid of any team spirit, they really did hide in the fitting room, splitting everything equally, solving a bottle of Wahaha, a bag of five-spice dried tofu, and a pack of crispy rice with dipping sauce between themselves.

It felt like sneaking snacks away from parents and teachers back in elementary school.
