Everyone’s eyes went wide: "!!!"
Lin Lele and a few girls behind her, "!!!"
As soon as Ji You spoke, everyone thought they were hallucinating, thinking either Ji You misspoke or they misheard—
What did Ji You just say?
She said that she will start at 8 am on Saturday, challenging all students from the 131st and 130th cohort of the Material Department, this...
Challenging all the students from the Material Department by herself, if this is not a joke, then what is?
Even more shocking, she isn’t just challenging students from her own cohort, but also the seniors of the previous cohort.
The same word simultaneously sprang to everyone’s mind.
Other than arrogance, what else could describe her?
The silence was deafening; eventually, the crowd gradually became noisy again as they all engaged in various discussions.
Listening to the discussions around her, Lin Lele slowly dropped her unpleasant expression, revealing a gleeful smile, saying, "Getting ahead of yourself, you’re done."
Whether it’s getting ahead of herself or not, it will be clear in three days.
Ji You, looking at the chattering crowd around her, slightly raised her voice, "Once Ji You speaks, she never takes her words back. At the appointed time—I will be waiting for everyone punctually at the Material Department’s auditorium."
Everyone around: "..."
Ji You, with a calm expression, slowly and clearly said, "Unfortunately, Senior Xu Siyu from the 130th cohort is not here, and thus, I kindly ask anyone who knows her to relay a message: Ji You has set up the arena, welcoming everyone for interaction and observation, and she eagerly looks forward to Senior Xu Siyu coming for exchange and learning."
Everyone around: "..."
Ji You: "Thank you, everyone."
Everyone around: "..."
As the crowd of onlookers grew, the atmosphere became more enthusiastic, and the discussion heated up, Ji You and Lin Lele, along with others, were surrounded, barely able to move.
Ji You remained calm, her tone sincere, "That’s all I have to say, please let me through, I need to go queue up for food."
Everyone around: "..."
After stirring up this situation, she still plans to eat?
The onlookers lost their appetite, but she, as the person involved, is still in the mood to eat?
Absolutely unacceptable.
A male student from the Material Department loudly said, "Ji You, you mean to challenge everyone from the Material Department, so you think you can overpower all of us?"
After someone asked this question, the surroundings fell silent instantly.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Ji You, as if fearing she might suddenly flee.
Everyone was anticipating.
Faced with the intense gazes around her, Ji You didn’t show a hint of fear; instead, she suddenly smiled brightly, loudly saying, "That’s right! I do think I can overpower all of you with my abilities."
Behind her, Chu Jiaojiao couldn’t help wiping the sweat from her forehead, extended her index finger, and quietly poked Ji You’s shoulder, lowering her voice, "Ji You, if you keep boasting, you’re going to burst, be mindful of your image, okay?"
Everyone saw Ji You suddenly change her tone, saying: "Of course—that’s impossible, haha... My previous statement was just a joke, please don’t mind it."
Seeing that the insults were about to rise again, Ji You hurriedly added: "How capable I am, will be known in three days, so please be a little patient and wait for the results in three days."
"Can I go and queue up for food?" Looking around, Ji You asked with a pitiful face.
In a second, her image of arrogance, egotism, and haughtiness was shattered completely.
But Ji You didn’t care about that; she raised her hand and rubbed her shrunken stomach, mournfully said: "Guys, please, don’t crowd around me anymore, I’m really very hungry now... Aren’t you guys hungry? Let’s disperse quickly, whoever needs to queue should queue, whoever needs to eat should eat, whoever needs to go to the bathroom should go..."
Just as this little person named Ji You said, since the results would be out in three days, why rush it? Moreover, everyone’s stomachs were indeed very hungry...
In no time, the crowd dispersed in all directions, and within less than a minute, the queue for food was formed, bathrooms were visited, and seats were taken...
The whole cafeteria was orderly in an instant.
No one was watching Ji You, and she suddenly felt the air was much fresher. Then, quick on her feet, she slipped into the line at the window serving braised pork ribs.
Chu Jiaojiao followed closely behind.
Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, Shen Changqing, and others were slightly slower.
The queue for food moved swiftly, and the few behind Ji You didn’t speak to her at all. Mainly because Ji You had just exaggerated her capabilities in front of everyone, utterly without any subtlety, that for a moment, they did not know what to say to break the silence.
Ji You finally reached the serving window.
Inside the window, He Bi, wearing a chef’s hat, tied with an apron, and a professional smile on his face, greeted a student with, "Enjoy your meal, come again next time."
The boy, being stared at by He Bi’s smile, trembled slightly with his hands on the tray, somewhat overwhelmed: "Thank... thank you, Senior."
Who said Senior He Bi was cunning, miserly, and two-faced? He’s clearly very amiable.
And—where’s his miserliness? The pieces of braised pork he serves are big and plentiful. Not miserly at all.
Overjoyed, the boy left with his tray.
Then, it was Ji You’s turn.
Ji You boldly said: "Server, a portion of braised pork ribs, only the big pieces, no small ones."
He Bi’s forehead twitched.
It seems the last lesson wasn’t enough.
Ji You glanced at the expression of Senior He Bi; in a blink of an eye, it turned from clear skies to stormy clouds, scaring... scaring someone to death.
Ji You immediately shrank her neck, and with a flattering face said: "Senior He Bi... I was just joking earlier, please be generous and don’t take it personally, my only flaw is being foul-mouthed."
Ji You chuckled: "I’ll change. I’ll change, I will definitely correct this bad habit."
