Chapter 211: Chapter 211: Wish for Peace
Ji You: "!!!"
Around: "!!!"
Ji You was shocked.
Ji You was ecstatic.
Ji You felt like floating.
She wanted to laugh so badly that even her soul was smiling, but to maintain her facade of a transcendent expert, Ji You kept her face serene with a calm expression, nodded slightly: "Oh..."
This reaction—
Is it not too indifferent?
The crowd didn’t believe it, and they all sneakily glanced at Ji You. However, perhaps Ji You was too happy to care, or there was something wrong with her facial nerves. It had been 10 seconds since she heard the result, and she was still keeping a straight face, maintaining an "I’m very calm" expression.
Sheng Qingyan puffed up with anger: "You poor dead, if you want to laugh, just laugh, what’s with the poker face? No one’s going to mock you for being uncultured..."
Ji You immediately glared at him: "Shut up... This Lucky Goose does not want to speak to you."
Sheng Qingyan: "..."
Apart from shock, the reaction from others wasn’t unduly excited, except for Yue Qiguang who started yelling and jumping around, cursing: "Unfair! Why is this idiot the one to succeed, not dad? Why?"
Ji You shook her head, her lips finally curled into a slight, reserved smile: "Because Mengmeng doesn’t like idiots."
Yue Qiguang roared furiously: "...You’re the idiot, your whole family are idiots."
Ji You rolled her eyes: "...This Lucky Goose currently dislikes idiots as well."
Having said that, Ji You turned her head away, ignoring him. Chu Jiaojiao came up eagerly, with a cheerful face: "Ji You, the feng shui spot I picked for you is really good, right?" But—her smile contained a mix of sycophancy, insinuation, and a hint of creepiness... It made people feel uncomfortable.
Ji You raised her hand and gently pushed Chu Jiaojiao’s head away, declaring with lofty pride: "This Lucky Goose will remember your kindness. I’ll take you out for a feast next month."
Chu Jiaojiao grinned: "Ji You, the way you say you’ll treat me to a feast... is also very charming..." For a moment, her eyes locked onto Ji You, unwilling to look away even a bit.
Ji You: "..."
Ji You felt goosebumps and decided to ignore this infatuation dog.
At times, infatuation dogs can be more harmful than brainless fans. As soon as there’s the slightest unwelcome change in your expression, they can instantly turn from fans to haters...
Scary.
Scary.
Bathed in the envious, jealous, and resentful gazes of the people around her and her peers, Ji You felt like she was floating on cloud nine. For a moment, her eyes softened as she gazed at the Divine Beast alpaca in front of her.
Ji You kept her face straight, her tone unusually restrained as she said: "Mengmeng, you are an alpaca with true taste."
Mengmeng extended its head, "Awww..."
Damn it!
No!
If it kept being this cutely obnoxious, Ji You felt like she could no longer hold back. She turned her head away...
But then, seeing Ji You showing no reaction, the alpaca moved its head closer, its naturally idiotic face filled with an expression of innocence and grievance: "Awww..."
Ji You: "..."
Bystanders: "Awww... Mengmeng, she doesn’t love you, why do you come closer seeking grievances? Come to me instead! Daddy/Mommy/Sis/Bro... will give you love!!!"
Oh wow~
They’re already trying to dig under the fence before I’ve even steadied myself, how shameless and hateful can they get?
Ji You glanced over and noticed even Xie Lingzhi, Lea, Zhang Ye, and others had joined the ranks of those digging under the fence...
Ji You’s mouth twitched, and she immediately reached out to pet the alpaca’s head.
The alpaca Mengmeng seemed very happy, bleating and nuzzling into Ji You’s palm, which absolutely charmed her heart. At this moment, she couldn’t bother with keeping a straight face and pretending to be calm, and her exaggerated flattery poured out like it cost her nothing: "Hahaha... Mengmeng, you are the most adorable animal in the world!"
"There’s no second."
"No contradiction allowed."
For a moment, the whole shop was filled with Ji You’s sleazy, silly laughter.
"Cough cough..." The shop owner coughed to clear his throat and said, "...another piece of good news, the student who has won Mengmeng’s heart will be exempt from participating in the next competition and will directly advance to the next round!"
What’s called double happiness?
This is it!
Instantly, Ji You was so elated that she almost lost her bearings. She jumped up, hugged Mengmeng’s head tightly, and planted a big kiss on it.
Mengmeng was an emotionally reserved alpaca, shyly hiding in Ji You’s embrace.
Around them: "This is too unfair!"
The shop owner huffed: "Who let this student be the first person in history to truly win Mengmeng’s favor? Of course, she deserves some special treatment." Haven’t you seen Mengmeng still nestled by that girl’s side, refusing to budge an inch?
Otherwise, it would have run off long ago.
In previous competitions, Mengmeng would just symbolically pick someone and then run away.
As an interstellar precious animal, the shop owner had put a lot of effort into raising Mengmeng, but Mengmeng was still unhappy, often falling into depression. To win Mengmeng’s favor, the shop owner racked his brains...
Hearing the shop owner’s words, the crowd was angry but dared not speak.
Next was the second competition.
Ji You took a look at the rules of the competition and gasped. This competition was entirely about physical strength.
It was a sprint race within a set distance, 100 people starting from the same point to determine the 50 who would pass.
Looking at the athletically built contestants below the stage, and then glancing at her own skinny arms and legs, Ji You couldn’t help but rub Mengmeng’s head, "Mengmeng, you really are my little lucky star!!!"
Look~
Sitting in the stands, munching on sunflower seeds, spitting out the shells, leisurely shaking my legs, with the divine beast alpaca to stroke...
This is simply the life of a god.
So—
When Shen Changqing, Yue Qiyuan, Sheng Qingyan, and Xuzhou were competing, Ji You was mischievously yelling from the stands: "Yue Qiyuan, did you not eat today? Is that all the speed you’ve got? Anyway, running would be in vain, come back and eat sunflower seeds with me."
Yue Qiyuan: "..."
His steps slipping slightly, he persisted and chased fiercely.
"Sheng Qingyan you look all red-faced and neck-swollen... thought you were so amazing... Turns out you’re also weak..."
Sheng Qingyan: "..."
Far in the lead, Sheng Qingyan was almost driven to turn back and hit someone due to Ji You’s mocking. It was infuriating.
Ji You yelled at the top of her voice: "Shen Changqing, run faster! You are about to be caught up! Go for it! Believe in yourself! You are definitely the best one!"
Shen Changqing: "..."
For some reason, even though the words were encouraging, they just didn’t sit right.
Ji You turned to Xuzhou: "Little Zhouzhou, hurry up! Go on! Go blow up the heads of Sheng Qingyan and Yue Qiyuan! I believe you can do it."
Xuzhou: "..."
With a straight face, Xuzhou silently grumbled: My wish is actually for world peace.
