Free Web NovelChapter 1431: Chapter 1431: Full Team Reunion
Square.
When Chu Jiaojiao reached out toward the Array Flag, Yue Qiguang suddenly raised his hand and covered his eyes.
His action was so quick that Louise happened to see it and couldn’t help but ask curiously, "Yue Qiguang, are you afraid to look?"
Yue Qiguang was greatly annoyed and said, "Afraid to look at what? Is there anything in this world that a dad would be afraid of?"
Louise said, "Maybe... losing a fight would be something you’re afraid of?"
Yue Qiguang: "..."
Yue Qiguang bared his teeth at him, "Louise Carter, you idiot, what face do you have to talk about losing in front of dad? Aren’t you the one who lost the worst among us?"
Louise: "..."
Louise felt like his heart had been pricked.
Then—
Sheng Qingyan covered his mouth, laughing obnoxiously, "Louise, oh, you seem to be the only negative scorer in this entire school-level competition?"
Louise: "..."
Darn it.
Louise felt his heart being pricked countless times, shattered beyond recognition, even more than tofu residue.
Louise turned his head, not daring to join the discussion anymore, then heard Ji You sitting leisurely nibbling on beef jerky, "I can understand Yue Qiguang’s feelings. Speaking of which, he reacted more dramatically seeing his brother lose than he would if he had lost, so does this mean Yue Qiguang is actually a good brother?"
Yue Qiguang: "..."
The next second, everyone’s heads turned simultaneously, staring at Yue Qiguang. Yue Qiguang turned beet red, feeling embarrassed as if his secret had been exposed, and the arrogance on his face turned red for quite some time, not returning to normal.
Yue Qiguang, face flushed, said angrily, "What are you looking at? Look again, and dad will beat you all to death."
Shen Changqing, who had been quietly nibbling on a lollipop, suddenly said, "I can vouch, Ah Guang really is a good brother. When Ayuan often got scared and cried, Ah Guang always beat up the bullies for him..."
Before Shen Changqing finished speaking, Yue Qiguang turned his head and walked off with his hands behind his back.
Ji You and others: "..."
Ji You asked, "Hey! Where are you going?"
Yue Qiguang didn’t respond.
Ji You said, "Could it be to the medical room to guard Yue Qiyuan?"
Yue Qiguang stumbled a bit, then sped up his pace.
Ji You said softly, "Oh right, Yue Qiyuan’s stomach got such a huge hole, who knows if it will affect his body, gotta hurry up."
Yue Qiguang turned his head sharply and glared at her, "Are you annoying or what?"
After speaking, he turned and walked away.
Once Yue Qiguang left, Ji You also stood up and said, "Let’s go check on Yue Qiyuan too, it should be okay."
Louise agreed and said, "Let’s go, and also check on Lance and Yu Song."
Sheng Qingyan asked, "Not waiting for Jiaojiao?"
Ji You said, "No need to wait, didn’t you see her lively as ever? Everyone got injured, and she’s the only one full of energy."
Louise, hearing this, quickly said, "That’s not true, didn’t you see Shen Changqing is also full of energy?"
Shen Changqing: "..."
Shen Changqing, the White Lotus, basically just used his mouth rather than hands in the competition, protected tightly by teammates, except during the decisive moment when he swiftly scored, but he wasn’t injured at all.
Shen Changqing stuck out his tongue, lightly licked the lollipop in his hand, then whispered, "The candy is delicious, thanks for the invitation, I won’t participate in this discussion topic."
Everyone: "..."
Ji You clicked his tongue, glanced at the seemingly innocent and pure Shen Changqing, smiled, and said, "Xiaoqing, you don’t look like Little Stupid anymore."
Shen Changqing: "..."
The candy in his hand suddenly didn’t taste sweet anymore.
...
The group made jokes along the way but still didn’t catch up with Yue Qiguang. When they reached the medical room, they saw Yue Qiguang sitting at the entrance of an emergency room, with a cold face and a demeanor that kept strangers at bay.
Ji You asked, "How is it?"
Yue Qiguang said, "It’s fine, in about 2 hours, he’ll be out, but he needs to rest for a week to recover."
Ji You instantly felt relieved upon hearing this.
The slightly gloomy mood Yue Qiguang had earlier had dissipated, he raised his eyebrows, looking very proud, saying, "Dad and that idiot Yue Qiyuan may have failed today, but we won’t always fail, just you watch."
Chu Jiaojiao’s knife was deadly enough, Yue Qiyuan didn’t block it, but suffering a loss isn’t bad, otherwise if he really encounters an enemy more dangerous than Chu Jiaojiao in the future, it would not just be a loss but losing his life. Besides, with the emergency measures set up in the competition arena, he wouldn’t die anyway.
Upon hearing this, Ji You, unusually, didn’t mock him, and with a smile said, "We all know your strength, even us, when facing you, have to be extra cautious."
Yue Qiguang: "Hmph."
In this group competition, both Yue Qiguang and Yue Qiyuan were on the losing side, but although they failed, they each gained high *points*, earning them a spot to advance.
So—
Out of the 10 participants from Lanyue Star Military Academy, only 3 are confirmed eliminated: Lance, Yu Song, and Louise.
The group sat on the benches in the medical room hallway, quietly waiting for Yue Qiyuan, Lance, and Yu Song to come out of the treatment room. It was at this moment that Ji You received a call from Chu Jiaojiao.
The moment the holographic call connected, Ji You looked up at the screen and Chu Jiaojiao opened her mouth to ask, "Where are you?" But then suddenly choked on her words: "Ji You, what’s wrong with your face!!!!"
Her loud voice almost cracked the walls of the medical room hallway.
Before Ji You could speak, a robot quickly stepped forward, sternly reminding, "Please remain quiet in the medical room, one warning, next time 100 points deduction."
Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao instantly fell silent.
Ji You didn’t speak, but Chu Jiaojiao looked at Ji You’s pitted face, tears silently flowing, opened her mouth but whispered softly, "Yingyingying... Ji You, what did you do to your face?"
She looked deeply affected, not accepting at all, and Louise couldn’t help but say, "Why are you crying? What’s there to cry about? Her face is the way it is because she did it to herself, she just doesn’t want to spend money to get it fixed."
Chu Jiaojiao was obviously choked, hurriedly said, "Ji You, promise me, go treat your face now, no matter how cheap you are, don’t be cheap with your face."
"When was I ever cheap with my face?" Ji You was speechless for a moment and said, "Is this the boring question you wanted to ask? If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up."
"Wait—" Chu Jiaojiao asked, "Which medical room are you in?"
Ji You looked at the sign and said, "The one near the south gate."
Chu Jiaojiao said, "I’m coming over right now."
