Chapter 39: The Scene of Being Slapped in the Face - She Demanded Her Sister Tell Her, Word by Word, in Her Own Words...
But it was too late to slow down now. Jin Suiqing quickly glanced at her classmates who were watching. They had already seen her suddenly increase in assembly speed and thought that she was under pressure because of Huang Tufeng's excellent strength, and that she was no longer arrogant and wanted to speed up to catch up.
Furthermore, having invested money and hoping that Jin Suiqing would win, the cheers grew louder and louder. Jin Suiqing didn't need to delve deeper to guess what his classmates were thinking.
If she wins, she can get her money back, and it's not shameful for Huang Tufeng, a novice, to lose even a second or two. She can offer a few words of comfort, and their friendship will remain intact. In the end, it's a win-win situation, and the result isn't too bad.
At this critical juncture, if Jin Suiqing slows down to feign defeat, it would be too deliberate and easily expose his deception.
Jin Suiqing must find another way to lose the match.
"Well done, Princess!"
"Your Highness is exceptionally talented, a genius descended to earth!"
"We weren't wrong about her; the princess is the most amazing!"
Jin Suiqing raised his arm in response: "Thank you everyone for your support!"
The sulfur generator in her hand swung away with her movement and fell heavily to the ground. No one paid any attention. Jin Suiqing bent down, picked up the sulfur generator, quickly attached it to the back of the magic dog's neck, and slammed her hand on the table: "All done!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Huang Tufeng slammed his hand on the table: "I'm done installing too."
He was only half a second slower than Jin Suiqing, but no one paid any attention to him. The students swarmed around Jin Suiqing and congratulated him loudly.
Amidst the congratulations, Chai Zixin looked somewhat embarrassed.
Could it be that he bet on the wrong horse?
Huang Tufeng entered the National Academy with a letter of introduction, and the person in charge of the entrance examination was Chai Zixin.
Although Huang Tufeng came from a rural background and was self-taught, he excelled in all aspects of the examination, especially in the area of magical weapons, where he achieved an astonishing perfect score in both theory and practice.
A true prodigy.
Chai Zixin really liked her. He argued with other teachers for several days about her background and, against all odds, brought Huang Tufeng into the school.
At this moment, Chai Zixin began to have doubts.
Could it be that Huang Tufeng is self-taught and lacks practical experience, which is why he is unable to handle this special situation?
Chai Zixin shook his head, walked towards Huang Tufeng, patted her on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, don't be discouraged. Your future teacher will give you a few extra lessons and more practice in assembly. Speed doesn't determine your ability. The little princess has a strange personality, so don't take what she says to heart..."
Huang Tufeng shook his head and calmly said, "Teacher Chai, I can't possibly lose."
Chai Zixin thought she was avoiding admitting the result because of her setback, and wanted to say a few more words to comfort her. But Jin Suiqing pushed through the crowd, straightened her back, raised her chin, and walked over, saying smugly, "How about it, savage, are you admitting defeat?"
Huang Tufeng lowered his head, silent, and quietly looked at Jin Suiqing.
Chai Zixin was a little angry: "It has nothing to do with her status. She is your classmate. Princess, please speak more politely."
“A loss is a loss. Mr. Chai, you’re still defending her. I’m asking her,” Jin Suiqing said sharply, turning her attention to Huang Tufeng. “You, Huang Tufeng, the result of today’s competition is here. Do you admit defeat?”
Huang Tufeng remained silent, only staring at Jin Suiqing.
Jin Suiqing saw that she didn't respond. On the surface, she was arrogant, but in reality, she was as flustered as an ant on a hot pan.
The system in her mind was giving her a death knell, a countdown that warned her that the punishment for the mission would arrive in less than ten seconds.
"He really is a sore loser..." Jin Suiqing sneered, inwardly crying out, "Sister, protagonist sister, please tell me you're not willing to admit defeat, please, please slap me in the face!"
I'm going to die, ....
The countdown is almost over.
Huang Tufeng suddenly smiled and said, "Princess, I refuse to admit defeat. I have not lost."
Jin Suiqing: "Oh?"
She immediately stopped the system countdown in her mind: "It's not over yet, it's not over yet! I can complete this task. I'll charge it later!"
Jin Suiqing sneered, "The competition is over. How can you say that no one lost?"
Huang Tufeng calmly replied, "The magic weapon dog hasn't been activated yet."
Jin Suiqing laughed as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world: "Could it be that once it's assembled, everyone can see the process? In the National Academy, besides you, who hasn't learned how to assemble magical weapons? If there were any problems during the process, they would have raised them already. How could it not work?"
"yes."
“The young princess is right, we saw the whole process.”
"Huang, just admit defeat. Losing to the princess... pfft... it's not shameful."
Huang Tufeng remained silent, then bowed and patted the magic dog's head to activate it. The magic dog was activated and quickly rushed towards the crowd.
Armored dogs are often used for clearing explosives on the battlefield. They carry gunpowder and will explode when they hit an obstacle. Although these two dogs were not carrying gunpowder, the fact that they were half a person tall still scared the students half to death, and they all scattered.
Huang Tufeng said politely, "It's your turn, little princess."
Jin Suiqing's eyes widened as she angrily charged toward her magical dog, spreading her arms wide and shouting, "Get out of the way! You can't just ignore someone you've knocked down!"
After saying that, the students dispersed even further, and Jin Suiqing slapped the magic dog's head hard with his palm.
The police dog didn't move.
Jin Suiqing refused to believe it and slapped it several more times until sweat poured from his forehead.
The police dog remained motionless.
Unpleasant whispers filled the air.
The magic dog remained motionless for a long time. Jin Suiqing, seemingly exasperated, raised her foot and kicked it. Chai Zixin cried out in alarm, "Don't kick!" but before she could finish, the magic dog had already fallen to the ground and slid away. Jin Suiqing was still not satisfied and followed up with small steps, stomping on it and cursing, "Useless trash, worthless thing..."
Chai Zixin was terrified: "Little Princess, you mustn't step on it! The sulfur generator will explode!"
How could Jin Suiqing not know?
System: "Task completed."
She did it on purpose.
With a loud "bang!", everyone was startled and closed their eyes. When they opened them again, the magical dog's parts were scattered everywhere, black mist filled the air, and the golden-faced dog lay motionless on the ground, its green body facing down.
Chai Zixin was pale and panicked. He tried to rush to Jin Suiqing's side, but Huang Tufeng was one step ahead of him. He strode to Jin Suiqing's side, helped her up, and gently swayed her, saying, "Little Princess? Little Princess?"
Jin Suiqing's face was blackened by the smoke. When he opened his eyes and saw that it was Huang Tufeng, he was stunned.
She was familiar with explosions; she had blown up countless sulfur-burning engines in the past, so naturally, they wouldn't hurt her. However, Jin Suiqing didn't expect that the first person to come and help her would be the real heiress.
Jin Suiqing once again posed a soul-searching question.
Is that correct?
Jin Suiqing opened his mouth, pondered for a moment, and then, fully embracing the spirit of a comedian, he shoved Huang Tufeng aside and angrily said, "Who told you to help me?"
Huang Tufeng remained silent. The people who had gathered around had lost money, and given Jin Suiqing's status, they dared not speak out against her anger. They could only suppress their rage and said kindly, "Little Princess, you have already lost the competition. Tufeng is helping you... It's not right for you to treat her like this."
"yes……"
"What a kind person he is, isn't the young princess going a bit too far?"
A busybody inspected Jin Suiqing's magical dog and said, "Hey, little princess, you installed the sulfur combustion engine backwards. No wonder it won't start."
After all these years of schooling, how could she install the sulfur combustion engine backwards? What a fool she is, making such a huge joke! After a moment of silence, a few low laughs broke out from the crowd.
Enraged, Jin Suiqing scrambled to her feet, forcefully pushed through the crowd, and ran out of the Jingxie Hall. She hid in the shadows, waited a moment, then grabbed Gong Xiaoyang, who had been chasing after her, and pulled him inside, asking, "How much?"
Gong Xiaoyang held up three fingers, and Jin Suiqing scoffed, "Only three hundred?"
Gong Xiaoyang exclaimed, "It's Sanqian, my big boss!"
Jin Suiqing's eyes widened: "Three thousand?!"
Gong Xiaoyang took out his small abacus and calculated as he did so: "Except for you and Mr. Chai, everyone else voted for you to win, and it was a lot of money. I didn't dare tell Mr. Chai how much money he had. He was too proud and told me directly that he didn't want it. He didn't misjudge me."
Jin Suiqing said excitedly, "If he doesn't want it, it's all mine. You get two and I get eight, put it in my studio's account."
Jin Suiqing will never complain about having too much money.
The more money, the better.
Jin Suiqing's secret to supporting herself well since childhood is making money.
Whether it's running errands for classmates, buying things, doing homework, playing games, or working as a substitute teacher, signing in, or running errands, as long as it's not illegal and can earn money, she'll do it all. She's so busy that Ye Zhufeng feels sorry for her and jokingly says he'll support her, but Jin Suiqing decisively refuses. She says, "You don't understand the joy of making money. Watching the numbers in your little ledger increase rapidly, having more money to buy what you want, seeing that you still have a lot in your savings, and listening to the people who spend all their money each month complaining, wow, Ye Zi, that's awesome!"
According to Ye Zhufeng's assessment, Jin Suiqing is indeed a genuinely miserly and pleasure-seeking person.
Gong Xiaoyang nodded eagerly in agreement, and the two money-grubbers counted the money with smiles on their faces.
Suddenly, Gong Xiaoyang froze.
He carefully tugged at Jin Suiqing's sleeve, disturbing her as she was engrossed in counting money. She impatiently shook off his hand: "What's wrong? Why are you pulling me?"
Gong Xiaoyang whispered, "Your brother."
Jin Suiqing also froze.
"Which brother?" Jin Suiqing lowered his voice, seeing Gong Xiaoyang's terrified expression, and asked tremblingly, "Jin Shiyu?"
Gong Xiaoyang nodded slightly.
Jin Suiqing's breath seemed to freeze.
What's he doing here? Shouldn't he be in class?
Hearing Jin Shiyu's rapidly approaching footsteps, Jin Suiqing hurriedly pulled open Gong Xiaoyang's collar, stuffed all the silver notes inside, and pretended not to hear until Jin Shiyu grabbed her wrist and pulled her away. Jin Suiqing turned around, first looking up in surprise, then lowering her head and sobbing softly, saying, "Brother."
Jin Shiyu studied her for a while, then squatted down, bent over and tilted his head to look at Jin Suiqing's dark face, frowning and saying, "Why is your face so dark?"
Jin Suiqing's heart skipped a beat. She had forgotten to wipe her face and could only mumble, "I... I just accidentally got it dirty."
"How did you get it dirty?" Jin Shiyu persisted, cupping her face in his hands and examining her closely. "Did you fall again?"
Suddenly, Jin Suiqing met Jin Shiyu's honey-colored eyes and was momentarily stunned. Her lips moved, and the truth almost slipped out before she came to her senses and continued to stammer.
Kim Shi-ok's arrival must be because he knew about the competition.
Her face was so black and the smell of gunpowder was so strong, it couldn't have been from a fall. It was probably related to fire. How could Kim Shi-ok not see that?
But now he's deliberately asking her this, really trying to get her to tell him the truth.
As if his territory had been invaded, a sudden sense of crisis swept over him, and Jin Suiqing couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
Could it be that Kim Si-ok has already become aware of her habit of lying all the time?
For a moment, Jin Suiqing didn't know how to deal with Jin Shiyu.
Jin Shiyu did not receive an explanation from Jin Suiqing.
He continued to wait patiently, glancing sinisterly at Gong Xiaoyang beside Jin Suiqing. He recognized the boy; he was the study companion that Jin Suiqing had been insisting on keeping by her side.
Weren't the two of them getting a little too close just now?
Gong Xiaoyang felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at.
Gong Xiaoyang had met Jin Shiyu a few times, and his impression of her was really bad.
Gong Xiaoyang had mingled with all sorts of people since childhood, and had dealt with all kinds of people, but he was not good at dealing with Jin Suiqing's brother. His smile was always on the surface, and there was a lot hidden under his seemingly gentle and refined appearance. Being stared at by him was like being stared at by a cold hyena, ready to pounce and tear your throat apart at any time.
It was unbearable, and Gong Xiaoyang was eager to get away so he could answer Jin Shiyu for Jin Suiqing. But before he could even open his mouth and utter a sound, Jin Shiyu chuckled and shook his head at him.
Gong Xiaoyang shuddered again.
Every time you face Kim Si-ok, just when you think he's about to pounce on you and you're on guard, he'll give you a seemingly friendly smile, but it's still a fake smile, hard to tell if he's good or evil, leaving you hanging, unable to get up or down.
Gong Xiaoyang was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and quickly fell silent.
Jin Shiyu lightly withdrew his gaze, concealing his sinister intent, and locked his eyes on Jin Suiqing with concern, gently saying, "Tell your brother what happened, okay?"
He doesn't want others to say it.
What about my younger sister later.
He wanted his sister to tell him everything, word by word, in person.

Mini-theater:
My daughter was researching a sulfur-burning engine, and by sheer coincidence, it exploded again.
After washing and cleaning, before going home, I grabbed Huihong and asked, "Does it still smell strange?"
Huihong sniffed carefully and then shook her head decisively.
During dinner, Jin Shiyu served food to Meibao, his expression nonchalant: "Did you go see the fireworks today? You seem a bit hot-tempered, little sister."
Meibao: "Huh? Oh, right, we're watching fireworks."
Jin Suiqing thought to herself: Damn it, he's a real dog!
