I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!

This bout of laughter went on for quite a while. Every time Mu Qiu tried to stop and continue with the script, she’d catch sight of Shi Yuhuai’s face and that chip still stuck at his collar, and burst into laughter again.

After several rounds of this, Shi Yuhuai’s face was left numb.

Finally, he violently shook his clothes, dislodging several chip crumbs, which allowed Mu Qiu to slowly stop laughing and regain the emotions she’d had when entering, ready to proceed with the plot.

Tears were still there, but they were from laughter, and the voice calling out "Mr. Huai" could never return to that previously deep and affectionate tone. Anyone who had just been through such a fit of laughter would find it hard to be sincere in front of Shi Yuhuai.

"Mr. Huai, tell me, was it him? Was it him who insulted you and forced you to wear this woman’s dress?!"

Shi Yuhuai remained silent.

The electronic voice outside was again notifying that Li Yang’s group was out of character, but the number of times other groups had been out of character was unknown. Their group seemed to have just two... Suddenly two hands clasped onto his shoulders, grabbing him and starting a mad shake.

"Talk! Speak! Why are you silent?! Was it him who forced you?!"

Ah, this woman is quite frenzied.

Just as he was about to be shaken into a concussion, Shi Yuhuai finally loosened the chains a bit, halting her frenzied behavior, and spat out a few words:

"No."

In the original story setup, he just loved cross-dressing. As for the final version, whether it was true, he only heard it once and couldn’t remember, but he figured such minor settings wouldn’t change.

Mu Qiu was choked.

Wasn’t he supposed to say yes? Suddenly changing lines now... She understood! This was his embarrassed reaction upon seeing his beloved; he didn’t want her to think he was powerless against Cheng Zhirang! It was to retain his last shred of dignity!

Right, that must be it! You couldn’t tell, but he could actually think so deeply!

She gave Shi Yuhuai a meaningful glance. Just as Shi Yuhuai sensed something was amiss, she started tugging at his clothes.

"Don’t lie to me! He surely forced you! That bandit only uses such tricks to humiliate people! Don’t be afraid, I’ll help you take it off!"

Frightened, Shi Yuhuai immediately leaned back, trying to evade her claws.

As he avoided her, Mu Qiu began to collapse like a madwoman.

"Don’t avoid me! Why, why have we become like this? Just half a month ago, we were still the enviable princely couple of Huainan Royal Mansion! Mr. Huai, I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have enticed him!"

"How could he do this, how could he do this to you! You should be the radiant Prince Huainan shining under the grand hall, not locked in a place like this wearing such clothes!"

"I’m sorry, Mr. Huai, let’s figure out a way to escape, shall we? I never believed that divorce letter was written by you; it was surely forced by him, am I right?! We escape, we escape, what to do, how do we escape! This entire Great Yuan Dynasty is almost in his hands; how can we escape?!"

The words were incoherent, shouting and crying at the same time, tears falling non-stop, and her whole body trembling, indeed a sight of collapse.

Yet Shi Yuhuai was unmoved; he only felt that Mu Qiu’s voice was loud enough to deafen him.

A human-shaped supersonic wave, and he couldn’t avoid it.

And calling with such volume—is she worried that the pervert next door can’t hear?

What one fears will come, just as he thought this, the small dark room’s door opened again. Cheng Zhirang strode in from the outside and forcibly pulled Mu Qiu apart.

Shi Yuhuai: Great, now the two lunatics are together.

Mu Qiu was dragged up and restrained in Cheng Zhirang’s arms, only to hear him angrily say: "Are you all dead?! I said no one else is allowed in here except me!"

His voice was quite loud, his chest vibrating as Mu Qiu strained to listen, wiping all her tears onto his clothes while the camera wasn’t focused.

Crying scenes are really tiring.

Cheng Zhirang noticed her actions, paused for a moment, then swapped hands holding her and continued with his fury.

"What did you say?"

This time the anger was directly aimed at Mu Qiu and Shi Yuhuai.

Shi Yuhuai was a perennial mute, unable to say much. It was up to Mu Qiu to say a few more words.

"Why do you humiliate him so? Wasn’t the divorce letter forced by you?"

Cheng Zhirang fell silent.

Alright, now both male lead souls couldn’t speak a word. At this point, the female lead needed to create a sudden situation to smoothly transition past this scene.

Thus, Mu Qiu closed her eyes and steeled her heart, faking a swoon and collapsing to the floor.

Cheng Zhirang swiftly caught her, stifling his laughter, cradling her sideways like he was angrily leaving the small dark room, and started yelling loudly before reaching the door:

"Where is the mansion’s female physician?! Get someone over immediately!"

With the two lunatics gone, the air in the small dark room became much fresher. Shi Yuhuai exhaled a breath and rubbed his ears.

He unlocked the hidden phone, reentered the live room, and saw the male lead Cheng Zhirang with an ugly expression approaching a deserted room.

Isn’t that his little dark room? Why is he coming back again?! Has Mu Qiu not been saved?

He tossed the phone behind his rear and knelt down quietly, lowering his head.

Cheng Zhirang strode back in, headed straight towards Shi Yuhuai, grabbing the hair at the back of his head, forcing him to tilt his head back, showing a pained expression.

Then he extended his hand over, and someone handed him a bowl containing light brown water.

There was also a pungent yet familiar smell.

"Letting her find this place was my oversight."

Cheng Zhirang began his lines, his sinister face matched with eerie tone, terrifying enough to make anyone’s scalp tingle.

"But this might be a good thing; we need a chance to tear open this wound. Rest assured, you will continue to stay here, listening to me and her revel night and day. But you’ll never be able to comment on it again."

With the final word, he increased force with his hand, gripping Shi Yuhuai’s hair, lifting his face to gaze at him, laughing briefly, then roughly pinched his jaw, pouring the bowl of liquid into him.

Shi Yuhuai resisted drinking it, struggling intensely, but Cheng Zhirang practiced training and few people could move that big arm. In the end, half of the concoction was poured into Shi Yuhuai’s mouth, while half due to his struggling was vomited onto his face, neck, clothes, all stained by the light brown liquid with the pungent smell.

Once finished pouring, he disgustedly released him, tossed the bowl, contemptuously watching Shi Yuhuai cough violently curled on the ground.

"From today onwards, watch him die!" He directed at the surrounding extras, roughly wiping the drug-soaked hand before disdainfully tossing the handkerchief aside and exiting.

Perhaps taking the time while Mu Qiu’s character was undergoing treatment to torture someone.

Nearby staff and extras dared not breathe deeply, the short-lived scene of abuse shocked and startled many.

After people left, Shi Yuhuai’s assistant quickly rushed over, patting Shi Yuhuai’s back: "Are you okay, Brother Huai?! Why is this..."

Shi Yuhuai coughed two thunderous coughs then feebly roared: "I will never drink Huoxiang Zhengqi water again!!!"
