Translator: CTCTRANS Editor: CTCTRANS
“Very well. ”
Jin Si sounded like he had spat the words out through gritted teeth.
“With so many people taking care of you, you obviously don’t need .”
A minute later, Qi Wu watched Jin Si coldly stomp away with her head tilted in confusion.
Why did Jin Si get angry again?
Jin Si returned to the car in a foul mood. Lou Ying dared not even breathe loudly and tried to make himself as inconspicuous as possible.
Lou Ying’s job was becoming increasingly difficult. Why was Jin Si always angry after a eting with Qi Wu?
Just then, Jin Si’s phone rang.
Lou Ying felt nothing upon hearing Qi Wu’s voice.
He had grown used to Jin Si’s ringtone by now.
The call was from Xi Huanran. As soon as Jin Si answered, she imdiately asked, “Uncle, when are you going to buy the lemon drops you promised?” The ntion of the lemon drops reminded Jin Si of the jar of lemon drops that
Qi Wu had rejected earlier.
“From now on, you will never get any lemon drops.”
“Huh?” Xi Huanran was extrely confused over being lashed out at out of nowhere.
Exasperated with her unpredictable uncle, she indignantly exclaid just before hanging up, “You’re a anie!”
After the call ended, Jin Si gradually regained his composure.
He leaned back in his seat and pondered with closed eyes and a raised chin. No one knew what was going through his mind.
After a while, he opened his eyes and looked at Lou Ying. “Back to the old mansion.”
When Qi Wu returned to her room, she received a ssage from Qin Jiayan.
(in Jiayan: Qi Wu, I’m officially part of GAL now. [Image]
Attached to the ssage was a photo of Qin Jiayan at GAL’s base.
Although Qi Wu did not quite understand the actual significance, she congratulated him anyway.
She then opened up social dia.
It was now her primary textbook.
Today marked the release of the third episode of “Rookie Assembly.” Coupled with the impact of the reception of the live streams, the third episode had already sparked heated debates all over the internet.
Everyone was talking specifically about the announcent from GAL’s official account which was posted before the third episode aired. GAL had a new jungler—Qin Jiayan.
The esports and entertainnt industries were in a frenzy.
‘GAL’s new jungler!’
‘Esports powerhouse x angel newbie: live stream’
‘I regret missing the livestream!’
‘Esports powerhouse and angel newbie make the best ship ever! How can they be broken up?’
‘Qin Jiayan is going to be eliminated in the next episode. After all, he’s now part of GAL. Give up. There’s no hope for this ship.’
‘They could remain in contact! I believe they’re still playing gas together!’
‘Esports players don’t have ti for that! Go away if you’re just a shipper. I’m waiting for Unskilled_Charger to lead GAL to a coback!’
‘I miss the days when GAL won three consecutive championships. I’ve been their fan for a while, so I only want Qin Jiayan to work well with the team.’
Qi Wu scrolled through the comnts with an intent to learn. After a while, she sent Qin Jiayan a ssage.
Wu: What does it an to ship soone?
(ün Jiayan:
After a few minutes of silence, he replied to her with an image that was a screenshot of his search results.
Shortly afterward, he sent her several voice ssages which she listened to.
Qin Jiayan sounded nervous and panicked over the phone.
“I absolutely do not like you in that way, Qi Wu! I only admire and respect you.”
“They’re just making things up…
“I promise to work hard and not let you down!”
Qi Wu blinked and smiled before setting her phone down.
However, just as she put it down, she received a call from Chang Xun.
Qi Wu could sense Chang Xun’s anxiety even before she even picked up.
As expected, when the call connected, Chang Xun impatiently asked, “Why did you start a scandal before you even made your debut?”
While Chang Xun had long anticipated that trouble would co knocking once Qi Wu beca famous, he did not expect it to happen so soon.
It was just gossip and a small group of shippers. It did not matter much, but if this happened a few more tis, Qi Wu would be forever known as the celebrity from the scandals.
This would an that when people thought of her, they would instantly think of her scandals instead of her works.
Qi Wu was a diligent student, so she was well aware of what “scandals” ant.
“It’s not a real scandal. It’s just a fantasy of the people online,” she solemnly explained.
She had been very serious.
Chang Xun was at a loss for words.
While it was a scandal that started from nowhere by the internet itself, he did not expect such an effect just because of the combination of Qi Wu’s beauty and Qin Jiayan’s identity in the esports industry.
Chang Xun’s headache worsened when he thought about Jin Si.
He was clearly indifferent when it ca to Qi Wu, yet he still poked his nose into everything.
Jin Si was just a hypocrite!
Chang Xun internally cursed Jin Si out while gently reassuring Qi Wu, “It’s alright. This just ans that you’re becoming popular.”
“I’ll handle the rest. Just enjoy yourself and don’t worry about anything else.”
After witnessing Qi Wu’s impressive performance that morning, Chang Xun had grown gentler and more tolerant when talking to Qi Wu.
After all, Chang Xun already had a better impression of Qi Wu than Jin Si.
Qi Wu remained silent for a mont before earnestly saying, “Chang Xun, be normal, please.”
Chang Xun was confused.
Thus, Qi Wu killed Chang Xun’s newfound gentle and tolerant mindset with those words.
As Jin Si arrived at the Xi family residence, he spotted Xi Huanran sitting by the entrance on a small stool with her arms indignantly crossed.
When she spotted Jin Si, she made a point of audibly snorting as if attempting to draw his attention.
Lou Ying walked up to Jin Si and whispered, “Sir, Mr. Xi is back.”
Jin Si raised an eyebrow upon hearing that.
He looked at Xi Huanran, who was still standing in front of the entrance and blocking it. With that in mind, he understood why she was being so bold.
Despite her nerves, Xi Huanran angrily shouted, “No lemon drops, no entry!”
Jin Si walked over and picked up the little girl with one hand as he coldly asked,
“Are you feeling brave now?”
Xi Huanran looked at him with a mix of anger and grievance shimring in her eyes. Her eyes were red, but she refused to cry.
She knew that crying would only invite more mockery from her wicked uncle.
There was no way she would give Jin Si the satisfaction of laughing at her. The little girl struggled with all her might.. “anie, let go of or I’ll bite you!”
