I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 342: The Guy-Snatching Squad

Li Yang didn’t listen to their excuses, two people here loved deceiving others the most.

He only believed in what he saw.

"I witnessed the whole ordeal of Brother Cheng! You guys are ruthless, even Brother Cheng got harvested... I’ve got just a little, can’t you let me go?"

The three surrounded him, taking turns to speak.

Guan Yu: "I’m afraid not."

Ye Mian: "How could we let the prey escape?"

Mu Qiu: "How could a man say ’let go’? We definitely can’t let you go."

Li Yang covered the food tokens on his arm, voice full of despair: "You guys already have so much, and you still want to snatch mine, can you even finish it all tonight?!"

Mu Qiu flipped her hair: "You don’t understand, hoarding is a woman’s habit, it feels really good."

"...The rich enjoy meat and wine, while bones perish in the frozen road!"

The wailing sound that echoed across the sky elicited laughter from the tourists beyond the edge of the safety line.

Fans even shouted: "Yang, looks like you’ll have to recite poetry well when you get back!"

Li Yang turned to look at them for a moment, replying, "Do you even realize how many ’Three Hundred Tang Poems’ you’ve sent to the company?!" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

All it took was stumbling over reciting poems during the pilot episode, and then it was endless ’Three Hundred Tang Poems’, completely filling the company’s training room.

With so much stuff taking up space, and fearing the show might doggedly revisit this task, his manager told him to memorize a couple of poems when free...

Yang displayed an ’unspeakable.jpg’ expression

Fans were laughing again.

Mu Qiu stood between Guan Yu and Ye Mian, squatted down, and clicked her tongue: "Very impressive, even quoting full poems. Unfortunately, that still can’t deter our resolve to harvest you. Will you hand them over voluntarily?"

Li Yang kept retreating: "Who would hand them over voluntarily?! It’s bad enough to be robbed, and you expect me to surrender willingly? I’d rather die with a spirit of resistance!"

Mu Qiu: "Fu Ran handed it over voluntarily."

Li Yang was shocked: "Someone like that exists?!"

Then he saw Ye Mian standing by, oh, understood.

"...Well, he’s in love and can’t offend his wife, but I don’t have a wife involved!"

Guan Yu: "And yet you want a wife from thin air? Dream on!"

"...I didn’t mean that!!!"

Guan Yu: "So what you mean is, you can offend the older sisters?"

Li Yang painfully closed his eyes. He really didn’t want to answer these kinds of trap-filled questions designed to exploit innocent young male idols.

Talking to women, it’s hard to make things clear even if you explain.

"Forget it," he tore off a few stickers, clutching them in his hand, then lay back with an expression of hopelessness: "Do what you want."

Mu Qiu: "Isn’t this line a bit off?"

Ye Mian: "Can this be aired?"

Guan Yu: "Who cares, we caught a big sticker holder, hurry up, go for it!"

Li Yang lay like a corpse, being turned over and over by the three ruthless women to pull off stickers. They kept making sounds of finding treasure.

As if this wasn’t enough, the photographer filming him was laughing, and aimed the camera at his hopeless face, surrounded completely by both the camera and the three women.

"... What kind of cruel-hearted people are these?!"

His indignation growing, Mu Qiu and the others had already peeled off the remaining food stickers from his arm, and then looked at the ones clutched in his hand.

Li Yang clenched his hand tightly and was in a very nervous state. As soon as Mu Qiu touched the back of his hand, he bounced up.

"You want to take away my life-saving bits?! Don’t be so ruthless, what will I eat tonight after you’ve taken everything?!"

Mu Qiu looked at him innocently: "I’m not trying to take it, just curious to see what you have."

"I don’t believe that for a second! You two already have no credibility with me, okay?!"

Ye Mian peered over: "Then, can I take a look?"

Li Yang: "...The credibility of anyone in your group is zero with me!"

Ye Mian: "You’re holding me accountable by association, that’s not fair."

Li Yang was jumping around: "Who’s being fair to me?! Brother Huai has the most stickers, why aren’t you going after him?! You just think I’m young and easy to bully!"

Mu Qiu: "Whether you’re young or not doesn’t matter, what’s important is you’re easy to bully."

"...Mu Qiu!!!"

Just as he was adamantly defending his last few stickers, another person popped up beside him.

Shu Ran, holding some unknown floral headscarf, shielded herself and greeted from a distance.

"Teaming up to snatch people are you? Can I join in?"

Li Yang was shocked to "lose color".

"Sister Shu Ran, we’re in the same group! You’re aiding and abetting evildoers!"

Shu Ran: "This game isn’t about group splits. Besides, everything’s for the sake of survival, you have to understand."

Li Yang was in disbelief, his gaze sweeping over the four of them in turn, helplessly quipping: "Am I in a den of female thieves?"

Shu Ran took two more steps forward but didn’t dare get too close, asking: "So, can I join?"

Guan Yu stood up, pretended to ponder, and said: "You can. But there’s an entry fee, two skewers of pork belly."

Shu Ran: "... Seems like you’re dreaming of being a landlord. Sorry, see you."

This makeshift group asking for two skewers of pork belly just to join—only a fool would take that deal.

"Don’t go!" Guan Yu called out to her, "Going solo isn’t as good as joining us, when we split the loot... oops, I mean when we divide the spoils, it’ll be far more than two skewers of pork belly!"

Mu Qiu: "Yeah, with the four of us, we can target the richest person."

Shu Ran hesitated upon leaving, turned back under Mu Qiu’s subtly excited gaze, feeling tempted.

"Are you saying, the four of us are going after Brother Huai?"

Li Yang, forced to listen to their master plan, felt appalled at their "ruthlessness".

"You three were already unstoppable, even grabbing Brother Cheng. Now with another person, are you going to snatch even Brother Huai himself? Or is it that his strength is so great, you’re all scared of him?"

Shu Ran, with a keen eyebrow raise, accurately caught the important information, looked at Mu Qiu and the others and said: "My, you’ve even gone after Brother Cheng?"

"No need to mention past heroic deeds," Mu Qiu feigned an impenetrable look, "what’s important is the present. You know now, our ’Snatch the Men Squad’ has quite the resume, having grabbed Brother Cheng, Fu Ran, and now Li Yang, only Brother Huai is left."

Guan Yu played along: "Actually, when we formed this ’Snatch the Men Squad’, we set a small goal—to snatch all the male guests on stage."

Ye Mian: "Then at the barbeque tonight, they’ll be squatting in the corner, wiping tears and watching us eat and drink grandly."

"... That’s cruel, I love it!" Shu Ran opened her mouth, "Snatching Shi Yuhuai, that’s something I’ve wanted to try since the second episode! Best if he can’t even eat a single scallion at night!"

Shu Ran became excited successfully, and Mu Qiu exchanged a covert glance with her two companions.

The ability to fabricate stories to recruit others and spread the risk really made the three of them admire themselves.

Besides, indeed, snatching Brother Huai was the dream of all female guests.
