Chapter Sixty-Eight: Brother Ji, Save Me!



When Zhen Tian entered the classroom, she saw Ye Qingyan angrily talking to Yuan Yuan about something.

She put down her backpack and handed the two of them a bag: "Breakfast."

"Waaaaah, my sweetie is so good, how dare that bastard come and say bad things about me?"

Ye Qingyan held Zhen Tian and swayed from side to side.

"What's wrong?" Zhen Tian was so flustered by her that she felt dizzy.

"That scumbag Liu Zheng confessed to her." Yuan Yuan took out a sandwich, took a bite, and it was still warm.

"ah?"

"Not only that, that dog also said to Qingyan that you seduced him, and said a lot of bad things." Yuanyuan took another bite, "So delicious."

"I should smash his dog head in!" Ye Qingyan angrily swung her fist at the air several times. "I don't need him, what a joke. He even tried to talk bad about my sister, ahhh!"

"actually……"

Zhen Tian helplessly repeated what her brothers had done to the two of them: "Actually, it's not really his fault. I didn't expect my uncle and brothers to do this either."

"My god, what kind of domineering CEO plot is this? No, it should be a plot where a domineering uncle and brother spoil me." Ye Qingyan was not attracted by the story of threatening Liu Zheng, but instead longed for such an uncle and brother.

"I'm impressed." Yuan Yuan gave a thumbs up.

Ye Qingyan pressed for details about what Zhen Tian and Liu Zheng had said and done on the day they met, and she exploded when she learned that Liu Zheng had been sarcastic and sarcastic towards Zhen Tian.

"That bastard, don't let me catch him again, or I'll make sure he's dead." Ye Qingyan was furious: "If he's so tough, what threats did he take in the first place?"

"actually……"

Zhen Tian quietly reached out again. Although she was angry with the men in her family, she still wanted to defend her brothers and uncles: "Actually, my brothers and uncles were just lying to him. They would never disqualify his father from the selection."

"It's not important. What I'm really looking forward to is you teaching this bastard a lesson. Everyone's praising him as the school heartthrob, and he's gotten himself into a daze."

Ye Qingyan's吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or witty remarks) skills are

“If it weren’t for the fact that senior high school students don’t get involved in these messy things, not to mention Brother Ji, there would also be your brother Lu Yiran and your younger brother Lu Lin.”

"Yeah, Lu Lin is a second-year high school student, why isn't he participating in the selection?"

“The guy said these guys are sissies.” Zhen Tian repeated Lu Lin’s words: “What are they judging? School heartthrobs? Ha, they’re still living in some campus novel. I’m not participating in that stuff, they’re sissies.”

Zhen Tian tried hard to imitate Lu Lin's disdainful look, but her soft and cuddly appearance only resulted in a clumsy imitation, which still looked extremely cute.

"Class is starting, class is starting! What are you all standing there for? Hurry back to your seats!" Just then, the teacher arrived, and everyone scattered like birds and beasts.

Zhen Tian felt dizzy listening to those math and physics questions, so she listlessly lay on the table and drew pictures.

"Are you still drawing? Do you have any new four-panel comics out? Let me see them."

Zhen Tian hugged her comic book, dodging the little head that was sticking out from the side: "I won't let you see it."

"Why? Because I'm your biggest fan."

"Shy." Zhen Tian finally managed to utter those two words after a long pause.

"Hahaha!"

"Hey you in the back, what are you doing? You're in class, this isn't your chat room."

Ye Qingyan pouted and timidly withdrew her head.

With a light touch of her pen on the white paper, Zhen Tian stared blankly at her own comic drawing. Her fingers unconsciously traced Ji Yuzhi's name on the page.

As the homeroom teacher, Yang, patrolled the classroom, his gaze fell upon Zhen Tian sitting by the door as he peered through the back door. Seeing her write her name on a piece of paper, Yang shook his head and sighed.

"This child."

...

"Let's go, see you tomorrow." Zhen Tian said goodbye to everyone, and then left with Ji Yuzhi.

Upon arriving home, she and Ji Yuzhi were both stunned; the scene before them felt like a journey through time.

The uncles stood in a row, while Lu Lin sat on the sofa.

Unlike the previous two days, the brothers and uncles now have a completely different demeanor than before, and it is Lu Lin who is feeling guilty.

"What's wrong?"

Zhen Tian climbed down from Ji Yuzhi's back.

"Brother Ji, you've come at the right time! Help me!" Lu Lin saw Ji Yuzhi's eyes light up and reached out to grab him.

"Sit down." He cowered at Lu Kai's mere glance.

"What's going on?" Ji Yuzhi sat down with Zhen Tian on the side, looking at Lu Lin.

"I told my parents I was going to play esports, and they were so angry they didn't want to talk to me." Lu Lin looked at Ji Yuzhi pitifully: "My aunt and uncle are trying to persuade my parents in the room. Can you help me talk to these big shots?"

Lu Lin whispered to Ji Yuzhi.

"Do you think he can get away with it after taking you to the interview?" Zhen Yan, the eldest brother, is usually gentle, but he is older than Zhen Tian's uncles Lu Kai and Lu Xian, and 14 years older than Lu Lin. He can be quite intimidating when he gets serious.

"What is e-sports? Is it a nationally sanctioned sporting event? The kind where you can win a world championship just by playing games?" Zhen Tian blinked and looked over.

Lu Lin was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously after Ji Yuzhi reminded him: "Yes, yes, little sister, you know?"

"I know, that's really cool!" Zhen Tian smiled expectantly, "Are you going to compete in that, bro? Can you become a world champion too?"

"Yeah, bro's going to play esports, do you support him?" Lu Lin asked, as if grasping at a lifeline: "I'll definitely work hard and win you a world championship, how about that?"

"Really? You can go? You passed the interview?"

"It's a success! And your Zhizhi has already talked to your brother about a 800,000 yuan annual salary. If you win an award, you can get a raise. Then your brother can buy you lots and lots of pretty dresses."

Zhen Tian didn't miss the coaxing look in Lu Lin's eyes. She wanted to laugh, but held it back: "Really? That's amazing! You can earn 800,000 right now? You're so awesome, brother!"

She wrapped her arms around Lu Lin's neck and nuzzled him affectionately.

Lu Lin felt like he was getting carried away, and he didn't care whether he played in the competition or not. His soft and sweet little sister hugged him after a long time, and he chuckled foolishly.

Suddenly, he felt his sister pinch his waist with her little hand, and then whispered something in his ear.

"Hurry up and beg for mercy, don't you want to go to the competition?"

Lu Lin was stunned for a moment, then instantly understood: all the praise and hugs were fake. His sister was supporting him in her own way.

He didn't know whether he should laugh at his sister's support or cry at her insincere praise. But he felt his heart was overflowing.

“Brother, Uncle.” Lu Lin paused, his nonchalant attitude vanishing. “I genuinely want to compete. I have the talent, and I know you all disapprove of my decision to drop out of school. But if I don’t have the will to study, continuing would be a waste of time. It’s better to compete while I’m at my best, and then I can go back to university after I retire in my twenties…”
