"Sizzle!"
The foreign man stared wide-eyed at the dagger stuck in his ear, his face filled with panic. A terrified murmur escaped his lips, but he dared not speak too loudly.
In just a short while, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"What...what are you going to do..."
The girl looked at him and smiled, "This knife has killed people before. If you're not afraid of death, I can..."
"No, no, no!"
Before she could finish speaking, she saw the two men next to her scramble to their feet, their eyes filled with panic, and they ran away as fast as they could.
He was in such a hurry that he even lost one of his shoes while running.
Seemingly realizing that Qi Jiu didn't intend to stop him, the man who had been kicked against the wall also ran away.
The atmosphere in the corner instantly became quiet. Watching the man's disheveled figure, Qi Jiu carefully put away the dagger in her hand. Before she could even look up, she saw a piece of paper being handed to her.
Looking up along that hand, you can see the girl from before. The panic on her face has completely disappeared, and now she is looking at you expectantly.
Seeing this, Qi Jiu didn't refuse. She reached out and took the paper, wiping the dirt off her hands. "Thank you."
This girl is quite thoughtful; if it were her, she would probably just pat her hands and wipe away the dirt that had accidentally gotten on her.
"No, no, I should thank you. Otherwise, I don't know what would have happened next." The girl quickly waved her hand.
Seeing that she was alright, Qi Jiu turned and left without saying a word. The person behind her clearly wanted to say something more, but in the end, they didn't utter a single word.
Looking at the bustling street in front of her, the girl's expression was calm yet somewhat inscrutable.
She had practiced these movements countless times in her dreams, so how could she possibly make a mistake now? Now that she possessed everything that others could only dream of, many things came naturally to her.
but……
This time, she rescued the person, but it wasn't Nan Chu.
Now, it's all too late.
Before she knew it, she had arrived at the entrance of Erlin University. Looking at the students walking in groups inside, the girl looked up at the somewhat dazzling sun in the sky.
Instinctively, I wanted to resist it, but in the end, I couldn't help but raise my hand to shield my eyes, feeling the sunlight seeping through my fingers.
Back in the competition apartment specially prepared by Erlin University, the girl had just pushed open the door when she saw Leng Ruo and Yu Qi sitting cross-legged on the sofa watching TV.
As for An Ran and Chang Xiaoyuan, the two of them each occupied a single sofa and played games on their phones horizontally.
The scene looked very heartwarming; if other people came, they probably wouldn't have guessed that they were here to participate in a competition.
Seemingly sensing movement at the door, Leng Ruo turned around and saw Qi Jiu. "Qi Qi?"
Hearing the voice, the people around turned around. "Did something urgent happen to you? You didn't even have time to eat. We packed some food for you. Do you want some?"
Hearing this, the girl nodded. "It wasn't anything urgent, I just went to see a friend in the US."
Seeing her actions, Leng Ruo and Yu Qi subconsciously made room for each other on the sofa.
"Qiqi, what happened to you?"
Seeing Qi Jiu's preoccupied expression, Leng Ruo subconsciously asked a question, but to her surprise, Qi Jiu was taken aback.
"Is it that obvious?"
I think I concealed my thoughts and ideas well before. Could it be because of the person I just met?
The people next to him nodded. "If you run into any trouble, just tell us. We might be able to help you."
Although the possibility is slim, what if it happens?
Looking at the sincere eyes around her, the girl sighed. Although the corners of her mouth turned up, there was still a hint of bitterness in them.
"Actually, nothing major happened. I just saw someone who looked a lot like my deceased friend."
After he finished speaking, the people around him fell silent.
This is the first time I've encountered something like this; it definitely involves a blind spot in my knowledge.
It is often said that private interests come first, and this situation should be considered the same.
For a moment, the people next to them exchanged glances, and they all saw confusion and helplessness in each other's eyes.
The girl noticed their subtle movements and smiled slightly. "It's nothing, I'm fine now. I was just a little lost in thought. I know in my heart that she's not her."
I acted impulsively before, but now I've regained my senses.
Actually, now that I think about it, that girl and Nan Chu only look a little alike. In terms of personality... apart from their love of laughing and their fashion sense, they don't seem to have anything in common.
The competition is still ongoing, and before we knew it, we had reached the semi-finals. We are just one step away from the finals.
Qi Jiu wasn't surprised at all that China had managed to reach this position; based on the information she had gathered, this was just the basics. They could even have gone a step further.
"Let's congratulate the Chinese team once again on taking this step forward!"
Qi Jiu stood on the stage, listening to the host's voice beside her, then looked at the green signs below her photo behind her, and turned to bow to the audience.
He walked off the stage very calmly.
"As expected of our nation's War God, he has never lost a single time!" Yu Qi looked at the girl in front of her, a hint of envy appearing on her face.
She really couldn't believe that if she could achieve this, her smile would be as bright as the sun.
"That's an exaggeration."
Qi Jiu naturally took the water from Leng Ruo's hand. She had just taken a sip when she noticed a cell phone in front of her. At this moment, the most eye-catching thing was no longer the text on it.
She looked at her photo and smiled. "What the heck?"
It looks like a news report, with a very eye-catching title.
'China's own war god'
'Mars'
"Where is the exaggeration? Compared to this article, it's not exaggerated at all. Look at the rest of us, who among us has never lost a single time like you?"
Among them, even someone as skilled as An Ran lost once, and that first victory was a narrow one.
The girl's eyes curved into a smile as she took the phone from her hand and scrolled down.
I didn't know until I looked, this article actually made the news, and the comments below are already in complete chaos.
"Hilarious! Who was it that said my Sister Qi only relies on money and looks all day long? Seeing my Sister Qi like this, I wish I could only rely on money all day long!"
"Even if we take a step back and say that all those talents can't be given to me, is that really true?"
"Upstairs, you've retreated too much."
