CHAPTER 20: CHAPTER 20: THIS PLOT... IS INTENSE

The broadcast fell silent, as if everyone on site had been strangled, leaving it eerily quiet.

The first to speak was Guan Yu, showcasing a comedian’s skill at this moment.

Guan Yu plopped down on the ground, her fingers trembling as she pointed at the stunned Shi Yuhuai, her voice shaking, "You, tell me, who exactly do you love?!"

Shi Yuhuai: "......"

"You still have her photos, don’t you?! What place do you put me and the child?!"

Mu Qiu opened her mouth, staring at the two in shock.

This... is intense.

[hahahahahahahahahaha]

[hahahahahahahahaha]

[Hahahahaha I’m going to laugh myself to death on this show sooner or later!]

[The program crew is full of geniuses...]

[Words can’t describe my admiration, even with a plus added to ’amazing’]

[Why do I only want to laugh, I should be feeling sorry for my Brother Huai, hahahaha]

[Shi Yuhuai: dazed and confused]

[Shi Yuhuai: Suddenly a kid comes flying out, clawing at his head]

[I just want to know what Cheng Zhirang’s role is, the camera doesn’t show their identity cards clearly!]

[Cameraman, you need to learn to zoom in closer]

[I don’t know why, but suddenly I’m looking forward to Mu Qiu]

[Her expression changes, visible even from five meters away from my computer]

[Li Yang has been scratching his head for three minutes now]

Though the drama was intense, Guan Yu managed to tear open the silence, and everyone started to embrace their roles, speaking their first lines.

Shu Ran, with a cold expression, said to Li Yang, "You’re so confident just because your last name is Li, the son of the Li Group’s CEO, just a spoiled rich kid. You’ll never understand the struggles of people like us."

Li Yang’s expression remained stiff, but he managed to speak, "I am myself, it has nothing to do with my dad."

Shu Ran let out a cold laugh.

Seems like the tale of a spoiled rich kid unaware of hardships and a proud Cinderella.

The situation between Guan Yu and Shi Yuhuai was easy to guess: a husband with Bai Yueguang in his heart and a wife raising a child.

Both stories are so intriguing, Mu Qiu was now eager to know what role she had.

She turned her head, and Cheng Zhirang, who had already dived into his role and was watching her tenderly with a smile, asked softly as she finally turned, "Do you want to go inside and rest a bit?"

The voice was so gentle it made her heart race.

So is he the tender husband totally unaware of his wife’s amnesia?

Mu Qiu lowered her head to think, putting her hands behind her back, pretending to kick a stone, and replied sweetly, "Alright~"

If in the game, why not play it big, being amnesiac down to seventeen or eighteen isn’t too much, right?

After all, she forgot she got married, maybe at seventeen or eighteen, she was persuaded into marriage by his looks?

Cheng Zhirang gave her a look, as if surprised by her reaction, then gently escorted her into the workshop.

Mu Qiu: "Huh, so all your assets... are just two chairs and two cardboard boxes?"

What happened to being the boss’s wife, unable to manage the company’s accounts but having only two chairs and some shabby cardboard boxes?

Cheng Zhirang sighed, then looked at her, "These are our assets, and you forgot, yesterday you decided to sell all the furniture, saying it felt more comfortable empty."

Mu Qiu: "...... Am I really that outrageous? And you didn’t stop me?"

Cheng Zhirang smiled gently, that face and those eyes, paired with this indulgent, gentle smile, gave off the illusion of being the most important person in the world to him.

He seemed to sigh, leaning closer to her, his voice alluring, "I couldn’t bear to see you unhappy."

"...!!!"

This is breaking the rules!

As expected, the bullet screen went wild.

[he——I gasped so hard I almost fainted]

[!!!!!!!!]

[How can someone be so gentle and flirty at the same time?!]

[Look at me! Look at me! Look at the camera, Brother Cheng!]

[Then I could be content, whimpering]

[Time to give my long-accumulated dreams a chance to play]

[Where are the tech folks?! Take screenshots and swap faces!]

[Damn, what script did Brother Cheng get his hands on?]

[I can, I can, I can!!! Come on! Bring it to me! I won’t resist!]

[The person in front, calm down with some peanuts okay]

Mu Qiu took a deep breath, her ears burning, trying hard to look away, "Actually, you don’t have to indulge me like this..."

That’s a lie! Who wouldn’t want to be indulged by him?!

Cheng Zhirang just looked at her indulgently.

She stumbled a bit and randomly found something to say: "I meddled with your assets; you should have stopped me. This is no small matter."

"It’s our assets," Cheng Zhirang emphasized again, suddenly looking forlorn, with self-deprecation, "Also, since you woke up a few days ago, you’ve been distancing yourself from me, clearly separating the two of us."

The forlorn look of a handsome man, no one can bear to see that.

Mu Qiu was just about to act when Cheng Zhirang said another line.

"I know he’s still the one you care about in your heart."

Mu Qiu: "!?"

The beautiful amnesiac love story suddenly turned into a cheesy love triangle where you love me, I love him, and he doesn’t know who he loves, even an author like Mu Qiu, used to writing cheesy plots, couldn’t help but grumble.

Given that each plot was more dramatic than the last, following Mu Qiu’s suggestion, Li Yang agreed, and the three groups decided to gather in one place for a three-way talk.

The venue was the most well-equipped little villa next door suitable for sightseeing.

The six people, poisoned by their dramatic roles, all wore subtly nuanced expressions, sitting at a table looking at each other, maintaining a ’you don’t move, I don’t move’ stance, nobody even cracking a smile first.

It was Li Yang and Shu Ran, in their curiosity and eagerness to stir up topics, who started cautiously probing each other.

Shu Ran casually asked, "Guan Yu and Shi Yuhuai, are you guys in a custody battle after divorce? Am I right? Li Yang and I are what you’ve seen, it’s just Brother Cheng and Mu Qiu’s relationship we still don’t know."

Starting with a self-reveal, did she not understand the rules, or is she unafraid of being judged for failing to enact the scenario? Or is there something they’re all seeing that cannot be guessed?

Mu Qiu’s eyes darted around, looking at Cheng Zhirang beside her.

Cheng Zhirang casually stated, "A couple with underlying issues."

That’s essentially saying nothing, as who in the three groups doesn’t have issues?

Shu Ran, aware that this was essentially the same as not answering, teased with a smile around, "Ah, starting to cover up your roles, but if none of us give a clue, are we just going to sit here without saying anything?"

"There will definitely be clues, just not spoken directly by us," Shi Yuhuai, who had been frowning since Guan Yu’s dramatic fall, candidly said, "otherwise this game would turn into truth-telling, and we could finish recording in ten minutes?"

A valid point, albeit stated a bit bluntly, but it’s right on target.

Judging by Shu Ran’s expression, it’s clear how timely this remark was.
