Ji Zhaoxi stared at the “PK successful” notification on the public screen and fell silent for a moment.
The comments on the public screen continued to scroll nonstop.
【Holy crap!】
【He’s actually serious? I thought all he could do was send that Zhu Bajie effect!】
【We won!】
【My CP, no!［sob sob］】
L’s comment floated across the public screen.
【Just went to top up.】
It wasn’t that he couldn’t win.
Ji Zhaoxi frowned deeply. She hadn’t expected L to actually help her win. Wasn’t he her anti-fan?
A terrifying thought suddenly appeared in her mind.
“You’re not really what they said you are, are you? My delusional male fan?”
The more Ji Zhaoxi thought about it, the tighter her brow furrowed. “I don’t want a delusional male fan!”
【L: Can you stop being so full of yourself?】
Sanzi’s expression on the other side looked awful.
The moment he turned on his microphone, he couldn’t help launching into a long-winded complaint.
“Ji Zhaoxi, does that even count? You blew up the score difference in the last minute. If you were going to do this, you should’ve said so earlier. Our big brothers and sisters aren’t incapable of spending money.”
His livestream had been very popular lately, and several more wealthy patrons had joined. He hadn’t lost a single PK match during this period.
Losing to Ji Zhaoxi left him extremely unhappy.
“Ji Zhaoxi, we’ve known each other for so long. How could you…”
Ji Zhaoxi cut him off coldly. “Enough with the excuses. A loss is a loss. Unfollow each other.”
She had lost before, and she had never tried to defend herself over it.
Sanzi’s breathing grew heavy. He couldn’t even force a smile anymore.
“Fine. I’ve unfollowed you.”
Still unwilling to accept defeat, he said, “Let’s do another one. If you want to go all out from the start, I’ll go all out with you. Are you in?”
At that moment, Sanzi’s comments section was filled with question marks.
【？？？】
【Again? We’ve already done five big PKs tonight. Are we going to sing or not? If not, I’m leaving.】
【Please no! That last round completely emptied our wallets!】
【Are we still doing this? Her big sister hasn’t even made a move yet.】
【Stop fighting, stop fighting. Just sing some songs.】
Sanzi’s face turned livid as he watched the public comments.
Meanwhile, Ji Zhaoxi was secretly watching Sanzi’s livestream on another phone.
Seeing the comments over there, she almost burst out laughing. She cleared her throat and said, “Do you want to go again? I’m fine either way. I’ve only done one round today.”
The comments in Sanzi’s livestream were unanimously against another match.
Sanzi remained silent for a long time before finally speaking hoarsely. “Then forget it.”
After leaving the PK match, he sat stiffly in his chair without saying a word, not even glancing at the comments.
【Don’t be upset. It’s normal to win some PKs and lose some.】
【If Sanzi wants to play, then let him play. I don’t know why you’re all stopping him.】
【How are we supposed to keep playing? We’ve done so many matches today. Isn’t it enough money already?】
Sanzi’s breathing grew heavier and heavier. He leaned toward the screen with a cold expression.
“That’s it for today.”
A bunch of fucking idiots! They were perfectly happy to watch him act like a clown every day, but the moment he asked them to spend money, they all started whining about this and that.
Damn it!
The next second, the livestream ended, leaving his fans staring at their screens in confusion.
Then the one hundred thousand homeless viewers flooded into Ji Zhaoxi’s livestream.
Ji Zhaoxi’s eyes lit up when she saw the sudden influx of viewers. “Sanzi ended his stream? Then everyone can hang out here for a while. He’s probably tired.”
If he was going to end his stream just like that, then she, being the kind-hearted person she was, might as well take in his abandoned fans.
“To all the babies from Sanzi’s livestream, you can tap my fan badge and follow me.”
Her viewer count had never been this high before. Taking advantage of the opportunity, she asked Sanzi’s fans to send her some popularity votes.
Popularity votes were especially difficult to earn during this prime-time slot.
Only after seeing herself rank first in popularity votes did she happily end her livestream.
Thanks to Sanzi for sending over a wave of fans.
After ending the stream, she kept watching clips of herself—and clips of Sanzi.
She replayed Sanzi’s incredulous expression over and over again.
Tonight had been far too satisfying!
But because she was so excited, she barely slept. And the consequence of that sleepless night was that one of her wisdom teeth became inflamed first thing in the morning…
Heaven always had to strike her hard whenever she was happy!
Ji Zhaoxi went to the university clinic. The doctor prescribed her some medicine and told her to reduce the inflammation before having the tooth removed.
Looking listless, she carried her medicine to the laboratory.
The balance in her livestream account wasn’t enough to soothe her toothache!
“Junior, what’s wrong? Did you not sleep well?” Her senior sister was startled when she saw Ji Zhaoxi’s mournful face.
Was her junior taking the melancholy route today?
“Senior, my wisdom tooth hurts.” Ji Zhaoxi let out a deep sigh.
Her senior sister gave her a sympathetic look. The senior brother beside them squeezed over.
“Do all of you have wisdom-tooth pain? My wisdom teeth are perfectly straight, and they don’t hurt at all. The dentist even said I don’t need to have them removed!”
His wisdom teeth really were exceptionally well-behaved. Whenever the subject of teeth came up, he couldn’t resist showing off about them to everyone around him.
The others silently ignored him in perfect unison.
The senior brother loved talking about teeth. On the first day of the semester, he had asked every single person whether they had wisdom teeth, then followed up by bragging about how straight his were.
He hadn’t even spared their supervisor.
As a result, everyone in the laboratory had known about his perfectly straight wisdom teeth since the first day of the semester.
When Lu Huainan arrived at the laboratory, he suddenly felt that something was strange. He frowned and looked toward Ji Zhaoxi.
Usually, the laboratory was filled with her lively chatter. Why was she so quiet today?
His brow furrowed tighter and tighter. Could it be that she was unhappy because he had made her unfollow that wannabe tough guy?
Lu Huainan’s expression darkened. Could she really want to fake a CP relationship with that sort of person? She might as well fake one with Puppy like before…
“Oh, Ji Zhaoxi, you’re here early today.” Their supervisor entered the laboratory with a thermos.
“Teacher, I’ve been coming early this whole time.” Ji Zhaoxi replied gloomily.
She was no longer the Ji Zhaoxi who used to arrive just before the deadline.
After that, the supervisor led them through the experiment, and everyone listened attentively.
Ji Zhaoxi’s tooth throbbed faintly. As she listened to the instructions, she covered the left side of her face with one hand.
Lu Huainan’s gaze lingered on her face, and his brow involuntarily furrowed.
Why was she covering her face…?
Later, when the supervisor had the students conduct the experiment on their own, Lu Huainan noticed that Ji Zhaoxi was still covering her face.
His brow furrowed even more deeply.
“Junior, you can do it this way when the time comes.”
“Thank you, Senior.”
Her tooth throbbed again, and Ji Zhaoxi instinctively covered it once more.
Lu Huainan was silent for a moment before speaking.
“It’s time to do the experiment. Can you stop acting cute?”
The laboratory fell silent in an instant. Everyone widened their eyes and turned to look at them.
With her left cheek covered, Ji Zhaoxi stared at him in disbelief.
What on earth was he talking about?!
