CHAPTER 51: CHAPTER 51: THE SCREEN FULL OF LONG LEGS

"I’m the girlfriend of the main character who was plunged into crisis and rescued only to fall into a high fever, isn’t that tragic? Now can you understand why I’ve been hiding here all the time?"

Mu Qiu: "I completely understand."

Although everyone’s roles often teeter on the brink of life and death with frequent sudden dangers, someone like Guan Yu, who is doomed without rescue from the very start, is still quite rare.

"And you? What are you?"

"What do you think my look resembles?"

Guan Yu lowered her head and thought for a moment, "Biohazard?"

"...Right. I’m Biohazard." Mu Qiu’s expression was serious.

"What about Brother Cheng and Li Yang? Did you trade your hope of survival for useful information?"

"Even if my life was in danger, I wouldn’t be so clueless as to miss out on gathering useful information, right? Li Yang says he’s The Pursuit of Happyness, but I definitely don’t think so."

"The Pursuit of Happyness? I don’t think so either. What about Brother Cheng?"

"Human Cleansing Plan."

"...Just hearing the name sounds intense."

The two of them squatted together, exchanged a look, and then both shifted their gaze away.

Mu Qiu asked, "Are we really going to stay in here the whole time?"

"I think it’s better not to go out before the bell stops ringing. This road is a main route; everyone has to pass through here. We can hide here and see what their strengths are like." Guan Yu had long planned her path.

Mu Qiu found this very reasonable, "Makes sense."

If they could witness the skirmishing and looting of others, that would be even better.

The main route lived up to its name; they soon encountered the first person.

Shi Yuhuai, who had not been seen for a long time, appeared in ethereal white ancient attire, distantly followed by a colorful-haired figure.

[Oh my gosh! My Huai Bao... Brother Huai suddenly becomes an immortal hero??]

[The ripples by the Qinhuai River have finally waited for a lifetime! Donning ancient attire! Saying those legs are wasted is a real understatement!]

[Ahhhhhh (I’m speechless)]

[Suddenly having added screen time, this fan is a bit caught off guard]

[Damn, so damn handsome, if they stop doing fashion shows one day, they should act in costume dramas, I’ll pay for the membership for you!]

[If those legs kick, they’ll probably dislocate someone’s jaw, right?]

[The first male model in a fantasy drama, and there’s a clown girl following behind... what kind of pairing is this?]

[One should say, what kind of catastrophic accident happened for Shi Yuhuai and Shu Ran to walk together]

Mu Qiu and Guan Yu were quite curious as well. After just two episodes, Shi Yuhuai did not know how many times he had sabotaged Shu Ran, yet these two could still stand together?

But that’s not the main point right now. The main point is when they looked closely—

Mu Qiu: "How can a fantasy drama sneak in here!!!"

Guan Yu: "That thing is Shu Ran! The clown girl!"

The two exchanged a look once more.

Mu Qiu: "Sister Shu Ran is the clown girl!"

Guan Yu: "Exactly! How can it possibly sneak into a fantasy drama?!"

...Forget it, they were not on the same wavelength no matter how hard they tried to sync.

Mu Qiu turned her back to the camera, closed her eyes, and let out a deep sigh, "I thought it would be channel-hopping if movies of different genres and regions came together, but who would have thought a fantasy drama would pop in, isn’t this an intrusion?"

Guan Yu’s focus was even more direct, "In fantasy dramas, doesn’t the lifespan usually start at ten thousand years?"

Mu Qiu was taken aback, following the gaze from her glowing eyes to look at Shi Yuhuai outside.

Mu Qiu: Even if she survives to the end, she couldn’t be one of the top winners, she gave the program team too little credit.

Guan Yu’s eyes were shining as she stared at Shi Yuhuai’s floating white robes, "This kind of person’s stickers are the best ginsengfruit for extending my life. Should we go out?"

"Aren’t you afraid of being looted in return?"

"Including Shu Ran, that makes three girls! Shi Yuhuai isn’t one to tug and pull with girls, this is our best chance!"

That makes sense.

Among the three guys, even though Cheng Zhirang is gentle, he clearly seems like someone not to mess with. Li Yang is terrifyingly alert, and waiting with patience is really troublesome. Shi Yuhuai is the only one left, and he’s even slightly, kind of, maybe, a bit better?

So they decided to go out.

Imagine what kind of scene it would be when four people, each with their own film crew, meet on the street? Four people, three women, one man, and while the women are all from modern dramas, the man is from a costume drama—what kind of scene is that?

The triune cover skill activated.

Shi Yuhuai was forced to be firmly encircled among the three of them, Shu Ran finally standing behind him.

The tall and upright costumed male model started to feel uneasy, watching them vigilantly.

"Why are you all here?"

Guan Yu: "I think we can skip the formalities, as we’ve gotten quite familiar from the last episode, don’t you think so, Wang Tiezhu?"

Costumed male model Wang Tiezhu: "......"

Behind him, Shu Ran communicated information to them, "His movie is Shushan Legend."

Her own movie didn’t need to be said; anyone with eyes could see it. Because it’s so obvious, she had been snatched up as soon as she arrived, such a frustrating journey.

Mu Qiu wasn’t surprised at all; with Shi Yuhuai’s outfit, no need to think about which movie, just recognizing him as the male protagonist of a fantasy drama with a high lifespan value is enough.

She gave Guan Yu a meaningful glance.

Guan Yu circled around Shi Yuhuai yet spoke to Shu Ran.

"Shu Ran, why don’t we temporarily form an alliance? Let’s get some stickers first and talk later."

Shu Ran hesitated for a while, "What if we can’t outfight him? He just took a sticker from me earlier."

"There are three of us, while he’s alone now. Plus, if we control him, you can take back the sticker he snatched."

Shu Ran looked at Shi Yuhuai’s upright back, tempted.

Unexpectedly, Shi Yuhuai, hearing their discussion about forming an alliance against him, stiffened, unwilling to be slaughtered, and found a gap between Guan Yu and Shu Ran to slip through and run.

Startled, Mu Qiu loudly exclaimed, "Chase him!"

Guan Yu picked up her imitation long cotton-padded coat and followed suit, with the camera crew trailing in a rush.

This left only Shu Ran at the scene.

Clown girl Shu Ran, carrying a stick, gritted her teeth and also joined the chase.

Thus, on the picturesque and spacious real-world set, the main road displayed a magical scene—

In front, a white-robed costumed male model was running for his life, with three teams following: one team consisted of a ponytail agent with a photographer, another was someone in a winter coat during summer with a photographer, and lastly, a colorful clown girl, holding a stick, followed by the final camera crew.

Li Yang, sipping a bottle of old yogurt, was stunned by this bizarre crew running past him.

"Isn’t that Brother Huai at the front? Why is he being chased by three girls?"

This female popularity struck Yangyang so hard even the straw was forgotten, as he turned his head incredulously to stare into the camera for an answer.

As far as his scarce memory serves, Shi Yuhuai was supposed to have the worst luck with the opposite sex among the three. Just the awkward atmosphere whenever Shu Ran and Shi Yuhuai stood together certainly shouldn’t allow for such a scene to occur now.
