After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows-Chapter 121: Thank You Sister for Taking Revenge for Me
Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Thank You Sister for Taking Revenge for Me
When she reached the corner, Jiang Lingxi turned around and saw Xu Ling’an, who had her head hanging down like a little quail.
She raised an eyebrow, finding the girl’s reaction quite amusing, "What, are you afraid of me?"
Xu Ling’an quickly shook her head, "No, Sister, I was wrong."
"What did you do wrong?"
"I shouldn’t have come here to play when I’m so busy with my studies."
Jiang Lingxi: "..."
This suddenly made her feel like she had caught her own child sneaking out to play instead of studying.
However, she had heard what this girl said with her classmates when they came in.
Zhengzheng is really a lot like Jin’an, not knowing how to refuse the requests of those around them.
"Those two boys, do you get along well with them at school?"
Xu Ling’an was momentarily stunned by the question. Although she didn’t know why her sister asked this suddenly, she still obediently shook her head, "Not really familiar, just classmates."
But she’s not stupid either. Her sister wouldn’t ask this without reason. And recalling just now when her sister specifically wanted to compete in shooting with Li Fei and Han Ye and even defeated them so badly, "Did they offend you, Sister?"
"They didn’t offend me," Jiang Lingxi met Xu Ling’an’s clear eyes, and although she was a bit reluctant, she repeated what she had heard those two boys say about the bet, "Your classmate named Chanchan should also be aware of it."
Xu Ling’an’s reaction upon hearing this was somewhat unexpected to Jiang Lingxi.
The little girl, although her eyes showed some hurt, remained calm.
Even her thanks were calm but filled with gratitude, "Thank you, Sister, for standing up for me. I know what to do now."
Seeing this, Jiang Lingxi swallowed back her comforting words, patted her thin and frail shoulder, "Go back and study well, you’re too skinny, eat more. By the way, is your grandma feeling better?"
The warmth from the hand on her shoulder was filled with a sense of security, like the hand that lifted her up on that rainy night. Xu Ling’an couldn’t help but take a look, pursed her lips, and smiled, nodding, "Much better, she should be discharged in about a week, thank you for your concern, Sister."
"Go on home."
Xu Ling’an turned around and took two steps, then suddenly looked back, "Sister."
"Hmm?"
Xu Ling’an took a deep breath, "I discussed with Grandma, and we wanted to invite you to a meal as a thank you once she’s discharged. Would you be free by then?"
Jiang Lingxi pondered for a moment, nodded and replied, "Give me a call ahead of time, so I can arrange my schedule."
Xu Ling’an nodded heavily, feeling as if the gloom hovering over her heart had been completely blown away, and the bright sunlight was shining down again.
"Sister, have fun!"
Back in front of Lin Chan, Xu Ling’an didn’t wait for her to speak and immediately said, "Chanchan, I’m not interested in these games, I’m heading back. Since Li Fei and Han Ye are here, why don’t you play with them."
With that, she avoided Lin Chan’s hand trying to pull her, and walked toward the arcade entrance without looking back.
She wouldn’t expose Lin Chan and the others’ schemes in public. After all, there were more than two months until graduation, and it was the crucial period approaching the college entrance exams. Speaking up might complicate things. But she had decided to distance herself from these three.
"An’an!"
Lin Chan shouted, but seeing Xu Ling’an’s unhesitating departure, she felt panicked, unable to take another step to chase after her.
Even though Xu Ling’an was often called a bookworm who only knew how to study, everyone acknowledged her intelligence. Could she have seen through her little scheme?
Until a figure blocked Xu Ling’an’s retreating back, and seeing that head of blue hair, the three standing there reflexively stepped back three steps.
Xu Miao, who had just returned with cash and universal arcade tickets, saw this scene: "..."
She twitched her mouth, cleared her throat, and announced, "Congratulations to the four of you for completing the challenge. Miss, here’s your one thousand yuan cash reward, and for you three junior classmates, these are your universal arcade tickets." She paused, "Our junior classmates really worked hard!"
Jiang Lingxi accepted the thousand yuan generously, anyone could see she was in a good mood.
Relieved, she also got companions to play with and received money, all good things for her.
But comparatively, the mood of the other three didn’t seem as bright.
Staring at the arcade tickets handed to them, they all wore expressions as if they had eaten a fly.
"Well, Senior," Li Fei scratched the back of his head, the movement pulling at his injuries, causing him to wince slightly, "We don’t want the tickets. Can you not post the video you recorded?"
Initially, they thought facing off against a girl, they were sure to win, and when the video was posted it would showcase their impressive skills.
Unexpectedly, their roles completely switched, the impressive one was the girl, and they were the ones being thoroughly defeated.
If the video was posted, how embarrassing would that be!
They’d rather not have this consolation ticket!
Xu Miao smiled as she refused, "No way, the video’s already been sent back to the studio, editing is probably already underway. A real man sticks to his bets!" With that, she shoved the tickets into the hands of the three, who looked like they were about to cry.
Then she turned her bright eyes toward Jiang Lingxi, "Miss, can I add you as a friend? If you have a short video account, I’ll tag you when the video is posted."
Jiang Lingxi waved her hand, "No need."
Having somewhat understood Jiang Lingxi’s character, Xu Miao knew she wouldn’t make further progress, though disappointed, she perked up and waved, "Alright then, Miss, until we meet again."
Jiang Lingxi also waved back at her and turned to leave without hesitation.
Xu Miao watched that cool figure leave, then waved to the three still standing there, "Junior classmates, until we meet again."
The three: "..."
Let’s not meet again!
That evening.
Jiang Lingxi took leave to handle personal matters, and Lu Zhengzheng, her assistant, was also given a day off. She didn’t go out to play but ordered a roast duck takeaway, wrapping duck meat in pancakes as she scrolled through short videos at home.
Just as she stuffed the rolled duck meat into her mouth, she saw a notification of a newly posted short video by an account she followed. She clicked on it.
"Wow, a super cool blue-haired lady dominating at the shooting range? This street challenge is pretty hardcore!"
Curious, she clicked to play the video.
Seeing the figure with blue hair and black-framed glasses, at first glance, seeming like a different person, she spat out the soda in her mouth onto the roast duck in the box.
"I must have been seeing things, everyone looks like Sister Xixi to me!"
