Ji You was struggling with the decision when suddenly she caught a glimpse of bursts of white light popping around her. Startled, she quickly covered her golden stars.
This timing is obviously not good.
Those she pinched earlier were all unlucky.
Ji You steadied her mind, snuck a peek at Xie Lingzhi and Sister Liya,noticed they also didn’t dare to move. Turning her head, Ji You saw Zhang Ye and Xuzhou both with conflicted expressions. Ji You grinned, irresponsibly tempting them by saying, "Big brother, why hesitate? Whether you stretch your neck or shrink it, it’s the same. We can always come again next month, right?"
Zhang Ye gave her a white look and said, "You’re not scared, why don’t you pinch?"
Ji You chuckled dryly and said, "I’m not scared, I am strategizing. My strategy is to wait for the right moment."
Zhang Ye tucked his blue star away safely, saying, "I’m also waiting for the right moment."
"Hmph..." Ji You pouted, "Copycat."
Zhang Ye ignored her.
Ji You turned to Xuzhou, saying, "Little Zhouzhou, your turn! I guarantee you’ll definitely advance! You’re the luckiest goose here!"
Xuzhou’s face showed his dilemma...
Ji You urged irresponsibly, "Quick! Now’s the time!"
Upon hearing this, Xuzhou hesitated for a second, raised his hand to pinch, and then:
Ji You’s eyes widened—
Xuzhou, a bit afraid to look, only sneakily lifted a bit of his eyelid:
His pink star burst in an instant.
A string of dazzling golden light flashed before everyone.
The surroundings grew lively, everyone envious.
Watching the golden light, Xuzhou too was delighted, but then he suddenly felt a tap on his shoulder. Looking down, it was Ji You, number 4444, her lips twitching slightly, her joy reduced by a third.
Such a height difference.
Why did these people have to grow so tall? Making Ji You, wanting to play a caring elder, still was forced to stand on tiptoes. She drew back her foot, looked at Xuzhou with a proud twinkle in her eye, and said, "Little Zhouzhou, see? Listening to me is definitely right."
Xuzhou pursed his lips, pretentiously retorted after a while, "...This was just my luck."
It wasn’t because of you.
Now, seeing Xuzhou advance, several students nearby also pinched their stars, and suddenly a series of golden lights flashed, turning them all into lucky geese—truly the envy of everyone!
Zhang Ye couldn’t sit still any longer and immediately pinched his blue star.
A streak of white light flashed by, turning Zhang Ye’s face green in an instant.
Ji You slapped her thigh hard, laughing loudly, "Traitor brother! With that naive face of yours, you’re just an unlucky fellow. Why follow the trend? You should have listened to me!"
Zhang Ye was so frustrated he withdrew into himself.
Seeing his brother’s plight, Xuzhou also felt somewhat at a loss for words.
Ji You, ignoring the withdrawn Zhang Ye, immediately turned to Xie Lingzhi and Lea, saying, "Sister Lingzhi, Sister Liya, don’t hesitate, go ahead and pinch."
Both hesitated a bit.
Ji You, channeling her inner godman, confidently claimed, "Follow my command, you can’t go wrong."
Lea thought for a moment, then decisively pinched.
A white light, painfully bright and hard to accept, slowly drifted out.
Lea opened her mouth for a moment and then closed it silently.
Xie Lingzhi leaned towards Ji You and said, "Heh—command according to your orders."
The slap in the face came too fast, just like a tornado... Ji You felt her face get hot, but she still stubbornly salvaged her dignity and said, "I didn’t calculate the time right just then. I’ve figured it out now, in 5 more seconds, it will be the best lucky moment."
Xie Lingzhi didn’t listen to her nonsense and directly burst her own star.
A flash of bright White Light...
Ji You saw it and laughed, saying, "See! This is the consequence of not following orders."
Xie Lingzhi was frustrated and pouted, "If you’re so good at figuring things out, why didn’t you do it?"
Ji You giggled and said, "Just kidding! Have you ever seen a big boss who shows up at the beginning? A character like me has to appear last in the grand finale, of course."
The tone carried a light disdain.
Ji You turned her face and started persuading Shen Changqing, Yue Qiyuan, and Sheng Qingyan, who were standing still, "Brothers, I see your faces glowing with a Red Light, you should advance together. Why not burst the stars together?"
The three of them: "..."
Sheng Qingyan stepped back and pointed at Ji You with a disgusted face, "Oh oh... I felt a jinx’s aura... It must be you, you jinx... Stay away from me."
When approximately two meters away from Ji You, Sheng Qingyan felt safer and then took out her big Red star and gently burst it.
A dazzling and eye-catching golden light made everyone else envious.
Sheng Qingyan covered her mouth joyfully and said, "I knew it..."
Hearing this, Shen Changqing and Yue Qiyuan, who had been quietly standing, silently increased their distance from Ji You.
Ji You gritted her teeth and said, "You Fish Eyes! I am not a jinx, I am a Lucky Goose! Lucky Goose! Lucky Goose!"
These words, just listen and that’s it, did you really believe it?
Shen Changqing and Yue Qiyuan looked at each other, Yue Qiyuan asked, "You first? Or me first?"
Shen Changqing said, "I’ll go first."
After saying that, he burst his pink star.
Ji You was about to delight in their misfortune, then a blinding golden brightness flashed in front of her, and the smile on her face instantly froze.
Shen Changqing put away his advancement card, feeling happy inside, but still tried to keep a calm expression on his face.
Next, it was Yue Qiyuan.
Yue Qiyuan didn’t delay, and two seconds later, he too burst his star.
The result was the golden color that Ji You didn’t want to believe.
Now, among these friends, only Ji You’s result was left to be announced.
Xie Lingzhi said, "Boss, it’s your turn."
Chu Jiaojiao said, "Ji You, cheer up, you’re the fattest no! The best!"
Yue Qiguang said, "If she can advance, dad will admit that green is the best looking color in the world."
Ji You, not superstitious anymore, said, "You crows mouths, shut up!"
Sheng Qingyan with disdain said, "Alright... stop dilly-dallying... Just burst it... You’ve been dragging on for two Chapters... Are we going to get to the next section or not..."
Ji You said, "Fine then, I’ll let you witness the birth of the Lucky Goose."
After saying that, she took a deep breath, let it sink to her dantian, and in an instant, burst her golden star.
Ji You, with a heart full of excitement, anticipation, and anxiety, slowly, very slowly opened her eyes a slit:
The glaring White Light that met her eyes made Ji You feel unsteady...
