Chapter 69: Jin Si, You Are Infamous

Translator: CTCTRANS Editor: CTCTRANS

A mocking glint flickered in Jin Sit s eyes. “You’re not a child, so how could you be deceived by Chang Xun?”

Qi Wu examined herself in the mirror with her clear eyes shimmering brightly. “What Chang Xun said is true. Jin Si, you are infamous. Everyone wishes you’d just stay quiet.”

The infamous Jin Si was rendered speechless.

Her words caused him to choke on his own saliva.

He did not expect her to understand the internet so quickly, especially not when it came to his reputation.

Amused yet irritated, he raised an eyebrow and asked, “Haven’t I not treated you well enough? ”

He could confidently say that his patience and tolerance toward Qi Wu surpassed anyone else’s.

However, it now looked like she did not appreciate it. She was even ganging up on him with other people.

Qi Wu fell silent.

Just as Jin Si was about to hang up, she sincerely and gently said, “You’re the best debtholder ever, Jin Si!”

It was the second time.

Jin Si could not help but count it out.

This was the second time she said something like that. She sounded as sincere as last time, and just like last time, he was filled with joy upon hearing that.

When Qi Wu left the bathroom, she found Tong Luo waiting in the room.

Tong Luo paused when she saw the look on Qi Wu’s face. With a vague suspicion in her mind, she asked, “Did you just call your…debtholder?” As Tong Luo stared with an expectant yet hesitant gaze, Qi Wu nodded. Jiang Xuxu curiously chimed in, “Debtholder?”

Before Qi Wu could reply, Jiang Xuxu already had a fantastical story made up.

“Is that like a nickname for someone in your family? That’s so interesting,” Jiang Xuxu commented with a laugh.

Tong Luo’s lips twitched. She glanced at Jiang Xuxu and helplessly sighed.

Qi Wu tilted her head. With clear eyes, she replied, “A debtholder means a debtholder. ”

Jiang Xuxu cooperatively shot Qi Wu an understanding look before turning to look at the door. “Where’s Ke Lu? Why isn’t she here yet?”

As soon as she said that, Ke Lu appeared at the door. “I’m here.”

Dressed in pajamas, Ke Lu looked nothing like her usual cool and handsome self. Instead, she looked more composed and mature.

There was a table between the two beds, so Jiang Xuxu quickly called for everyone to sit down by it.

Ke Lu took a seat beside her and casually asked. “What’s this important thing we need to discuss?”

“Hehe.”

Everyone watched as Jiang Xuxu cackled while pulling out a deck of brand-new cards with a wide grin on her face.

“Look at what I’ve prepared for us! I’ve wanted to play a four-person card game with you guys for a while now.”

Ke Lu and Tong Luo silently stared.

Then, Ke Lu shot Jiang Xuxu an incredulous look. “Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten that tomorrow is the song selection for the first performance?”

“How could I forget?”

Despite her impatient reply, Jiang Xuxu’s eyes had drifted to the side.

Tong Luo knew what was going on when she saw that. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and calmly looked at Jiang Xuxu. “Are you nervous?”

Jiang Xuxu did not reply.

She was someone who could not hide her emotions well. Tong Luo’s guess was so accurate that she immediately felt guilty, and her expression showed it.

“I-I’m not that nervous…”

Qi Wu was the only one curiously staring at the rectangular box in Jiang Xuxu’s hand. She pointed at the box and asked, “Xuxu, what’s that?”

“Playing cards, Sweetie!”

Jiang Xuxu was genuinely shocked. Did Qi Wu not even recognize playing cards?

However, in order to prevent Qi Wu from overthinking, Jiang Xuxu quickly continued, “I’ll teach you how to play later. You’re so smart, you’ll surely catch on quickly!”

Qi Wu nodded with anticipation in her eyes.

Ke Lu and Tong Luo exchanged glances when they saw Qi Wu’s expression but did not say anything.

“Let’s start!”

Before long, the four of them started the game with Jiang Xuxu dealing the cards.

Shortly after, the room was filled with their chatter. “Aah! Why are my cards so bad?”

“Xuxu, your eyes are almost glued to my cards.”

“Boom!”

“You’re good, Qi Wu. You won again.”

In the control room, Hu Mofei once again cheered for Qi Wu.

“Incredible! Her luck is unbelievable.”

“Don’t they have any sense of urgency?” Song Qi grumbled. “How could they be playing cards on the show? Thank goodness, we haven’t started broadcasting live yet. Otherwise, they would have been trending for all the wrong reasons!”

“Tsk.” Hu MO Fei glanced at him. “Why can’t they relax? Think about how hard they’ve been practicing.”

Song Qi choked when he heard Hu Mofei’s words.

Why was everything he heard lately shocking him?

Moreover, it was often because of Qi Wu.

While Song Qi was lost in his thoughts, Hu Mofei chuckled again. “Another lucky hand for her.”

“You’re spoiling her rotten!”

Song Qi grumbled before marching out of the room in frustration with his hands behind his back.

He needed to take a walk. It would be better than stewing in frustration.

At first, he only wanted some fresh air, but the cool night breeze outside swiftly blew away his frustrations. The quiet and peaceful streets calmed his mind. As a result, he kept walking and did not want to return to the control room.

He didn’t know how long he had been wandering outside when he suddenly bumped into Qi Wu who was standing near the villa’s entrance.

She stood there motionless as she looked up at the sky like she was deep in meditation.

Song Qi suddenly felt like laughing at himself.

Why did he think she was exuding an air of age-old loneliness and dead silence? She was just a young woman.

He cleared his throat and walked over to her. “What are you doing?”

Qi Wu slowly turned away from the evening sky to look at Song Qi. When she eventually replied, she greeted him, “Ah, the vengeful spirit.”

Song Qi froze for a moment.

With a bark of laughter born from irritation, he shot back, “I am not vengeful! Also, I am now your mentor. Aren’t you afraid I’ll be angry with you about

Qi Wu silently stared at him with her head tilted to the side.

A few moments later, Song Qi abruptly realized what he had just said made him sound particularly petty, like a vengeful spirit.

Song Qi was abruptly overwhelmed by feelings of guilt and awkwardness, especially since Qi Wu was still staring at him.

“You haven’t answered me yet. What are you doing?”

“Looking at the sky.”

Qi Wu’s reply was short and simple.

“Looking at the sky?” Song Qi repeated in a puzzled tone before gazing up at the night sky.

It was not a particularly beautiful night. Dark clouds covered a significant portion of the starry sky. Even the moon was shrouded in mist. “What’s there to see tonight? It just looks like it might rain tomorrow.”

Song Qi turned to stare at Qi Wu with a strange look..
