After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows-Chapter 85 Well Done
Chapter 85: Chapter 85 Well Done
Yu Hui’s transformation was naturally noticed by Jiang Lingxi.
However, whether or not the other person changed had no effect on her.
She never really cared about how others viewed her.
In her last life, after ascending the throne and subduing a number of small countries around her, she conscripted soldiers for three consecutive years. Who knows how many people secretly cursed her for being vainglorious, but did she listen?
Expanding almost a third of the nation’s territory was the answer.
Not to mention now, in this peaceful era, she’s just a young person. As long as no one dances in her face, they are no different from a blade of grass that brushes past her hand.
It wasn’t until Yu Hui started following Jiang Kaiyuan and calling her Sister Xixi that Jiang Lingxi calmly corrected his address, "Sister Xixi is too intimate of a title. You should call me Teacher Jiang or Miss Jiang. It sounds more comfortable."
She said this right in front of the camera, addressing Yu Hui.
Yu Hui mustered up the courage to follow the others in calling her, but upon hearing this blunt rejection, his face turned beet red.
He wanted to ask why Jiang Kaiyuan could call her that but not him, clearly they were all strangers before. But when he met Jiang Lingxi’s gaze from where she stood atop a stone, looking down at him, the embarrassment and anger inside him felt like being doused with a bucket of cold water, instantly dissipating.
Those eyes seemed to penetrate into the depths of his soul, seeing through him completely.
At that moment, he even suspected Jiang Lingxi had long known about his previous slander against her.
While Yu Hui stood dazed, Jiang Lingxi had already quietly climbed up the rock and jumped down with Zai Zai. As she was about to brush past him, she heard a lowered voice from beside her: "I’m sorry."
Jiang Lingxi paused for a moment, then left straight away.
Her forgiveness was always scarce.
Yu Hui listened to the gradually receding footsteps behind him, covering his face in despair and letting out a helpless chuckle.
Seeing this, a question mark quietly appeared on the live stream’s comment section.
—"What’s making me feel like there’s some sort of backstory between Jiang Lingxi and Yu Hui?"
—"Isn’t Jiang Lingxi a bit too cold? Saying that in front of the camera is really not giving Yu Hui any face."
—"When they brushed past each other, Yu Hui seemed to say something, but the volume was too low to hear even with amplification. Any lip-reading friends here?"
—"It seemed like he said sorry, but the lip movement was really too light. I’m hesitant to confirm, just guessing haha!"
—"If he really did say sorry, then there’s definitely something going on between them."
—"But at the beginning of the show, it seemed like they didn’t know each other at all. Yu Hui even teamed up with Jiang Xiyu. Could this variety show have a subplot of the prodigal son’s return?"
—"Jiang Lingxi doesn’t care about Yu Hui at all, good for her! Independence and elegance, Sister Xixi!"
—"Is Sister Xixi something you can call her?"
—"Hehe, I actually can. You all can just be envious."
Although it was still early spring and not quite ice cream season, Lu Zhengzheng’s mood at this moment felt like she’d just eaten a big bucket of ice cream, utterly satisfying.
She still remembered how horrible Yu Hui’s attitude was to Sister Xixi in the beginning. Now he’s been slapped in the face, regretting it, huh? Haha.
Just won’t forgive him!
Sister Xixi, well done!
However, there was someone with a completely opposite mood.
The overnight flight landed in a beautiful coastal town, and as Jiang Xiyu took a car to her aunt’s residence, she couldn’t resist opening the Wilderness Survival live stream. She initially wanted to see audience comments about other guests, but as soon as she opened it, she saw Yu Hui showing goodwill towards Jiang Lingxi.
That earnest yet humble appearance was never shown in her presence.
It made her almost grind her teeth to pieces.
As she was about to smash her phone in anger, Xiao Tao, sitting next to her, swiftly closed the live stream.
"What are you doing?"
"Xiaoyu, we’re almost at the place."
"By the way, do you happen to have the recent photos of you-know-who? I need to show them to Aunt later."
Xiao Tao knew she was referring to Jiang Lingxi and shook her head with difficulty, "She hasn’t posted any selfies recently."
Seeing Jiang Xiyu about to flare up again, Xiao Tao quickly pointed at the phone, "Although there are no photos, looking at the people in the live stream should be fine too."
Jiang Xiyu: "..."
She was left with no choice but to open the live stream again, despite her frustration.

Jiang Kaiyuan took Zai Zai from Jiang Lingxi, hesitating to speak.
Seeing this, Jiang Lingxi frowned, "Say what you want to say, why are you becoming more and more dilly-dallying?"
"It’s just, uh, Sister Xixi, don’t you like Yu Hui?"
"Mm."
Jiang Kaiyuan: "..."
Though she admitted it, could you at least say a few more words?
He couldn’t resist his curiosity and continued to ask, "Why? I’ve come to find Yu Hui quite easy to get along with. Although he’s not as clever as me, he’s hardworking and doesn’t slack off. As for looks, they’re okay."
Jiang Lingxi, who was kind and tender to him and Brother Xu, treated Yu Hui with none of that, even showing an attitude similar to the one she had towards the departed Jiang Xiyu.
But Jiang Xiyu was originally an adversary, and they’ve never had a good relationship in the circle. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Yu Hui, however, is a newcomer, so what kind of past grudge could there be between them?
"Dislike is just dislike, where do so many reasons come from?"
Jiang Lingxi said, brushing away Jiang Kaiyuan blocking her, "Someone’s coming."
Today, Xu Zhao went hunting alone. With one person absent from the team, the food requirement decreased by a quarter. Plus, the leftover meat from previous hunts had all been dried into jerky, so now their team didn’t lack food.
As the only girl in the current team, Jiang Lingxi was given a day off.
She gladly lazed around!
It’s rare to have a day off, and she couldn’t be bothered to respond to Yu Hui’s overtures or Jiang Kaiyuan’s stream of questions. Wouldn’t it be better to relax and sunbathe with Zai Zai?
Jiang Kaiyuan turned to follow Jiang Lingxi’s gaze and saw that, besides Xu Zhao walking over, there was another familiar face often seen in military films and TV shows.
"Teacher Lin!"
Lin Jing waved with a smile, "It’s been days since we last met, everyone. I ran into Xu Zhao during my break and heard from him that Miss Jiang saved a panda cub. I couldn’t resist my curiosity and came over to take a look."
"Welcome, welcome," Jiang Kaiyuan said, holding Zai Zai as he approached, "Teacher Lin, look, it’s this little guy. Isn’t it adorable and cute?"
Lin Jing gently stroked the little one’s head and nodded, "Indeed, it’s so cute that it’s hard to let go. But what’s with the paw, secured with a branch like that, was it injured?"
Jiang Kaiyuan instinctively glanced back at Jiang Lingxi. After receiving a particularly calm and composed look, he turned his head back, nodding stiffly, "Yes, yes."
"Poor little thing." Lin Jing said, stroking the injured part again and nodded, "Hmm, the relocation was done quite well. Didn’t expect you to know about this, Xu Zhao. Not bad!"
Xu Zhao waved his hand quickly, "It wasn’t me, it was Jiang Lingxi. I’m okay for hunting and cooking, but orthopedic work is way beyond me."
Lin Jing paused and looked toward the quiet figure standing nearby.
Facing Lin Jing’s gaze, Jiang Lingxi nodded slightly, "Teacher Lin."
Lin Jing hefted the Zai Zai Jiang Kaiyuan handed him, "Thanks to you, this little guy."
Just as Jiang Lingxi was about to speak, she suddenly sensed a prying gaze, and the sudden sticky feeling made her instantly vigilant.
Lin Jing only felt that the person before him suddenly transformed from a harmless clear spring into a sharp sword capable of wounding.
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, from a pale blue, elegant seaside villa, a piercing scream was suddenly heard.
