Free Web NovelChapter 1433: Chapter 1433: Group Photo
The journalist from the United Nations Official Newspaper paused abruptly upon hearing Chu Jiaojiao’s roar, and then inexplicably exuded a sense of helplessness.
This—
What kind of people are these?
According to normal circumstances, shouldn’t they be helping each other, living in harmony and friendship?
Why is it that they keep bickering, arguing, and belittling each other?
Finally, amidst all the chaos, the girl managed to complete her interview. As soon as the interview ended, Yue Qiyuan, Lance, and Yu Song were wheeled out of the treatment room.
Ji You and the others immediately stopped bickering and rushed forward to check on the three.
Then.
Seeing that the three were okay, Ji You and the others instantly scattered! Not a single one of them helped Yue Qiyuan and the others off their wheelchairs.
Journalist: "..."
The journalist hurriedly said: "Hey! Wait a minute!"
"Wait a minute!"
"Wait!"
Shouting three times, the journalist chased a few steps and finally managed to stop them.
Ji You tilted her head and asked, "Classmate, is there anything else?"
This journalist from the United Nations Official Newspaper is also a student, but she is in the media program, and this work is her part-time job on campus.
Seeing Ji You and the others stop, the journalist hurriedly said: "Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, could you please wait for a moment and take a group photo together?"
Take a group photo?
No one else had objections, except Ji You was a bit unwilling, now especially regretting not spending a few thousand credit points to fix her face.
The journalist, seeing Ji You didn’t respond, was slightly disappointed and asked, "Is that okay?"
Never mind.
No way could they disappoint the pretty young lady.
Ji You immediately nodded and replied with a smile, "Of course, we can."
Then.
Everyone quickly lined up, and the organizing was very efficient. Yue Qiyuan, Lance, and Yu Song even threw their wheelchairs aside to stand, maintaining their handsome posture.
It was said that this photo would appear in the United Nations Official Newspaper and would be seen by countless people, so everyone thought they absolutely must not lose face.
The journalist was just about to take the picture and suddenly said, "Ji You, weren’t there ten of you? Why is one missing?"
"Missing one?"
"Who?"
"No one is missing."
As soon as the words were out, everyone glanced at each other, and simultaneously realized who was missing. Just as Ji You was about to call Liu Fufeng, a ghostly voice suddenly came from beside them, "Are you looking for me?"
Everyone: "!!!"
Even the journalist was so startled that she almost dropped her camera. She quickly checked the camera like it was a treasure and held it tightly; this camera had an antique look combined with interstellar era technology, usually hung on the chest, giving off quite an air. It was something every media person had.
Everyone wore expressions as if they’ve seen a ghost, which seemed to make Liu Fufeng a bit pleased. A barely noticeable smile flickered across Liu Fufeng’s pale, handsome face.
Then.
Liu Fufeng softly said, "I’ve been here for a long time; you just didn’t notice me."
Everyone: "..."
Liu Fufeng said, "I arrived even before Ji You and the others." To prove he wasn’t lying, he pointed at a nearby bench and said, "I was just sitting in front of you, there’s surveillance to prove it."
Everyone: "..."
Everyone took a deep breath, and Lou hurriedly said, "Alright—stop talking, it was our fault for not seeing you."
Liu Fufeng mumbled softly, "You guys are indeed a bit blind."
Seeing the journalist holding up the camera, eagerly taking footage, Ji You hurriedly said, "Classmate, we are all here now. Could you please take our group photo?"
The others resumed their serious and proper expressions.
The journalist was slightly regretful and hastily took a big group photo of the ten of them.
She clicked the shutter several times, completing the group photo, but she wanted to take more. The group was like starving ghosts, lacking the patience to wait. One by one, they were in a hurry to go to the cafeteria to grab their meals.
Interview task completed, the young woman hung the camera around her neck and decided to quickly return to school to write this interview report.
She didn’t know how precious this group photo would be because this was the only group photo of these ten people, who, in countless years to come, would become the Guardian Gods of the entire Alliance and even humanity.
...
After the group match, countless students gossiped privately, and the representatives from various schools sitting in the tea room of First Army’s academic affairs center were also having heated discussions.
Hong Jiang shook his legs, smugly accepting the envy and resentment of other schools. Lanyue Star Military Academy gained the most this time, so he had every reason to be smug.
However, the principal of the Alliance Second Military Academy, Qu Hongqiang, who gained second place, was very low-key and silent this time. Facing the congratulations, he just gently shook his head and said it was all thanks to the students’ hard work.
Present, there were also two people who attracted much attention, Yang Zhi and Niu Houdao, because their faces were as dark as a pot bottom the whole time. They couldn’t avoid being noticed.
Thinking about it, First Army only got one spot in the top ten this time, given their previous results, it’s really a bit poor, no wonder their faces weren’t looking good.
"Old Niu, Old Yang, you two should look on the bright side, although only one spot was taken in the top ten today, next year who knows, you might not get any? Keep an open mind."
As soon as Hong Jiang finished speaking, not only Niu Houdao and Yang Zhi but even the others couldn’t help being speechless.
The worst thing about Hong Jiang is his mouth, knowing Yang Zhi and Niu Houdao were feeling bad, he kept provoking them, which made people from other schools sweat with fear:—Will Hong Jiang manage to leave this tea room safely today?
Just when everyone was about to enjoy the drama, suddenly, all the communicators in the tea room rang, stunning everyone, who then put away their smiles, opened the messages, and turned pale:
"How could it be?"
"Hmm?"
"Did it really happen?"
Upon receiving the message, everyone lifted their heads, glancing at those nearby, and confirmed they received the same message.
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
As the host, Yang Zhi stood up and said, "Today’s little gathering was poorly hosted, let’s meet again another time."
The others were also eager to leave, not caring about these words, and after a few polite exchanges, they quickly left.
...
While eating in the First Army’s cafeteria, Ji You and the others chatted idly about the upcoming finals, Ji You, chewing on braised pork ribs, feeling slightly regretful, said, "Still, the braised pork ribs on Lanyue Star are more to my taste."
Also—
She missed Senior Shi Ya, Sister Lingzhi, and... felt a bit like she missed Teacher Mu too.
Ahem...
Just then, all the students received an official message from the Alliance, with the headline—[The offline competition has officially ended.]
Everyone was startled.
