"You can take my place."

"Huh?" Vivina immediately showed an embarrassed expression——

"Why do you seem so reluctant? I chose you as my replacement because I saw you. Don't you think about the mistakes you made before? Now is your chance to atone for them."

"Miss?" Liz immediately jumped out: "Why does it have to be Sister Vivina? If you want to choose a replacement, I can also..."

"Liz..." Vivina's eyes flickered.

"That's fine, you can discuss it among yourselves—" Ouyang Huanshi said halfway, and suddenly changed his mind: "No—"

"What's wrong?" Liz Chesca said with a delighted look on her face. "Young lady, are you planning to withdraw your order?"

"You two come in and replace me and Brother Tianhe."

"..." Liz's joyful expression immediately disappeared, and she protested in a low voice: "Why is it like this-"

"As a subordinate, do you still want to disobey my orders? Or do you think that it would be more satisfying for you two servants, or for Brother Tianhe and I to lose our qualifications?"

"How is that possible?! No, Miss, I have never..."

"That's good." Ouyang Huanshi said indifferently.

"I don't need it." Gong Yi Tianhe suddenly said.

"Did you hear what Brother Tianhe said—" Ouyang Huanshi turned his head abruptly: "Brother Tianhe, what did you just say?"

"I said I don't need it—we were the ones who decided to participate in the bet, so why do we have to let others take our place? Luo Dongxia, Chu Moyin and the others didn't find any replacements—wouldn't that make us look weak and bullies?"

"Brother Tianhe..." Ouyang Huanshi pulled the corner of his lips: "But, we are different from them——"

"What's the difference? I don't think so—" Gong Yi Tianhe paused and nodded when he said this. "I see, you're talking about the despicable side—that's indeed the case. They don't have anyone to choose as a replacement, but we just use our subordinates to deal with it casually."

“…”

Chu Shangli wondered, was Gong Yitianhe trying to hold Ouyang Huan back and make it difficult for her to step down?

Ouyang Huanshi did show an embarrassed expression——

If Chu Shangli had told her that there was a lifestyle where she could let herself go, I'm afraid these words would have made her put on a forced smile and immediately agree to join the gambling game.

But now, after a moment's silence, she sneered, "Brother Tianhe is truly amusing. True, we can be replaced by others—but that's also our innate advantage, isn't it? What kind of advantage is it if it can't be used freely? It's just a waste of resources. Anyway, regardless of what Brother Tianhe says, I've made up my mind not to participate in such a dangerous activity—if Brother Tianhe doesn't want to change his mind, please do as you please."

"Ah, ah." Gong Yitianhe twitched the corner of his mouth slightly: "Okay, if this is your idea, I won't force you--"

Liz pursed her lips, leaving a thin white line on them.

After a while, she stroked her hair with her fingers: "I understand what the young lady is thinking - then after all, let me -"

"Young lady, you're right—I made a mistake before, and now you're willing to let me be your substitute. It's truly an honor for me..."

Vivina Cantel held the tablet computer and bowed slightly to Chu Shangli——

"Please be kind and show some mercy. I don't care where I study, but I really don't want to drop out for such a strange reason—"
