Chapter 464: Chapter 464: Selling Out Teammates Together
Vibrant flowers.
Fresh fruits.
The bright red, wind-borne banner, and beneath it... the few tall, poised, and formidable figures, and... the extremely irritating slogan written on the banner they were holding up with their elbows...
Most importantly, Ji You never expected that the first face she saw when her gaze followed the banner upwards would be that of Yu Yi, whose square face exuded an aura of integrity. This one-time rival, whom she had defeated to join the special training squad.
Ji You took a deep breath and asked, "Yu Yi, the weather is nice today. How about a fight?"
Yu Yi’s square face cracked a smile as he gently shook his head, "No need, I’m not interested in fighting. I heard you’ve unfortunately become a third-level disability, just came to confirm."
Ji You was slightly speechless: "I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I’m lively and kicking."
Yu Yi: "Indeed, a little disappointed."
Ji You: "..."
Ji You turned her head, looking at Zhang Ye standing next to Yu Yi, and couldn’t help grinding her teeth: "Zhang Ye, are you here to gawk at me too?"
Zhang Ye shrank his neck and chuckled, "Just joining in the fun, joining in the fun..."
Ji You, barely restraining her itch to throw a punch, turned to another figure who was always ducking and even deliberately lowering the banner to hide his face, and berated: "Little Zhouzhou, stop hiding shyly. With your thick brows and big eyes, I could see you from a mile away."
Xuzhou: "..."
Xuzhou lifted the banner, revealing a somewhat reddened face, and tried to stretch a smile, yet his face remained stiff: "No... nothing’s wrong, right?"
Ji You raised her hand, covering her heart, and said frantically: "There’s no ’matter’, I’m just about to explode with rage. Dad’s asking you, what on Earth did Dad do wrong for you to treat Dad like this?"
Xuzhou: "..."
Xuzhou turned his face away and turned his back.
"And you guys!!!" Ji You, with shaking hands, pointed at several figures hiding behind Yu Yi, Zhang Ye, and Xuzhou, cursing: "Stop hiding, thinking that success in fooling Little Zhouzhou and these few blind guys to spearhead this means I won’t know it was your wicked idea?"
Once Ji You said this, and with her full and forceful tone, where was there any semblance of a patient?
For a moment, everyone shook their heads regretfully: the spectacle was over.
Then—
Among the crowd behind the three men, Shen Changqing was the first to step out, saying softly, "It has nothing to do with me, I was just coming over to take a look."
Ji You was surprised: "Oh... Shen Changqing, I didn’t expect such an honest person like you to lie as well." Speaking of this, Ji You clenched her fist and pointed at the words on the banner: "These characters, this brush style, this vigor... if it wasn’t you who wrote it, then who? Tell me, who else?"
Shen Changqing: "..."
Being caught on the spot, how embarrassing is that? Shen Changqing’s face turned thoroughly red: "I wrote it, but it wasn’t my idea, Ah Guang came up with it."
Ji You’s mouth twitched, and her clenched fist immediately swung toward Yue Qiguang.
Shen Changqing, with his style of betraying teammates at the first disagreement, spread the contagion instantly.
Hearing his exposure, Yue Qiguang suddenly jumped up, glared at Shen Changqing, and didn’t hesitate to betray another teammate: "Although I thought of the characters, this rotten idea with the banner was proposed by Yue Qiyuan, this idiot."
Ji You turned her head and glared fiercely at Yue Qiyuan.
Seeing the fire spreading and suddenly burning himself, Yue Qiyuan’s face turned a shade darker and immediately said: "I just casually made a suggestion, but I never expected Chu Jiaojiao to be so fast. In the blink of an eye, she had torn up the curtain cloth and made a banner out of it."
Ji You: "..."
Great.
This—
These are her so-called fans.
Fake.
Absolutely fake.
And—
As expected, not a single person is innocent.
How does that saying go? When an avalanche happens, not a single snowflake is innocent.
Chu Jiaojiao, seeing that she had been thoroughly betrayed in an instant, her face stiffened for a few seconds. Then, she forced a smile, quickly leaned in, and took a close look at Ji You’s cheeks. Realizing there wasn’t any damage and visibly relieved, she chuckled and said, "Ji You, it’s good that there’s nothing wrong with your face, really good. I just heard from that fool Sheng Qingyan that you suffered a third-level disability. He even said you looked more ghastly and horrifying than a ghost, with not a single patch of decent skin on your face, neck, or elbows... that you had no good skin from head to toe. I was scared to death! I was just so worried about you."
As she spoke, Chu Jiaojiao scratched her head somewhat embarrassingly, exposing a slightly foolish and infatuated grin, "Ji You, you look pretty even when you’re all huffy."
Ji You: "..."
Ji You’s face darkened, and her icy gaze swept bit by bit over Chu Jiaojiao before finally landing on Sheng Qingyan, who pretended to be as quiet as a chicken in the corner, "Very good, it was indeed you."
Caught out, Sheng Qingyan didn’t pretend to be scared anymore and strutted right out, even yawning and saying, "You poor dead thing, I didn’t expect you to recover..."
Oh no!
What a shame.
Though he didn’t voice it out loud, the regret on Sheng Qingyan’s face was blatantly there for all to see.
Ji You was furious inside.
This guy, not only did he spread that I became a person with a third-level disability, but he’s also spreading rumors that I look scarier than a ghost?
Very well.
Click~
A single crisp sound struck like a tap on the heartstrings of everyone present, making them feel a chill spreading from the soles of their feet up to their necks...
Ji You clenched her fist without letting go but pointed it straight at Sheng Qingyan and declared, "Sheng Qingyan, prepare to die!"
Sheng Qingyan: "..."
Sheng Qingyan bolted out the door in a flash, "Since the poor dead thing is fine, then little me is slipping away."
With that, he didn’t dawdle and vanished like smoke.
In an instant—
The few figures blocking the doorway gradually scattered.
Yue Qiyuan stepped back decisively and said, "I have something to do; I’m leaving too."
Yue Qiguang clicked his tongue and declared, "There’s no joke to watch, a waste of Daddy’s one minute, I’m out."
Shen Changqing paused briefly before saying, "Wish you good health," and left hastily...
Chu Jiaojiao looked Ji You up and down, left and right, examining carefully. Confident that there really was nothing wrong with Ji You’s face, she couldn’t help but earnestly advise before leaving, "Ji You, take care of your health and your face, I’m off now."
The somewhat awkward Xuzhou, seeing this, mustered up the courage to speak, "Fruit is delicious, remember to eat, I... I’m also going now."
Zhang Ye waved nonchalantly and said, "Gone, gone."
Yu Yi was even more straightforward: "I bid farewell."
Ji You: "..."
Ji You felt an itch in her hand growing, that urge to punch someone just wouldn’t stop.
