New anime chapter 13: Five Mysteries and Three Paths
When Xiaoyou heard Jiang Kai comfort him like this, he not only didn't stop crying, but cried even harder.
Hugging Jiang Kai's neck, she whimpered softly, just like a little kitten, "Why are you so good to me?"
After a pause, Xiaoyou added, "So it turns out I deserve to be treated well too."
Instead of treating him like Xu Xi did, using him merely as a tool or a stepping stone for exploitation.
Hearing Xiao You's words, Jiang Kai's heart softened completely.
He held Xiaoyou in his arms and patted his back reassuringly. "Of course you deserve to be treated well. You are my little darling, my baby. No one can bully you. If anyone bullies you, we'll bully them back."
Xiao You rested her tear-stained face on Jiang Kai's shoulder, he sniffled and hummed in response.
Holding the small body in his arms, Jiang Kai's mind, which used to be wandering, was now filled only with heartache.
Xiao You nestled in Jiang Kai's arms for a while, then asked, "Who is the champion?"
"I don't know either, I haven't seen it yet."
"Then take a look."
Xiao You loosened his grip on Jiang Kai.
Jiang Kai looked down at his phone and opened the trending topics.
#Jiang induces withdrawal from the competition#
#LiKaiChampion#
#Let's Dance Youth Season 1#
The topic of Xiaoyou's withdrawal from the competition topped the trending searches, becoming a hot topic.
Jiang Kai glanced at the trending topics and told Xiao You, "It's Li Kai, the champion."
Xiao You sniffed. "It really is him."
"Besides tying you up in the closet, what else did Xu Xi do? Did he threaten you?"
Xiao You lowered his head, picking at his fingers. "He told me to withdraw from the competition, but I didn't agree. When it was my turn to go on stage, he tied me up and threw me into a dark closet."
Jiang Kai slammed his fist on the table with a loud thud.
It's clear he's very angry about this.
Xiao You looked down again, picked up the phone that Jiang Kai had casually tossed aside on the bed, and clicked on the trending topic about Xiao You's withdrawal from the competition.
Many people commented:
"Why would our Youge withdraw from the competition? He's someone who loves dancing so much. Was it arranged by the production team?"
"Yeah, what's Li Kai's background? He's manipulating the game."
"Did something happen to Youzai? Is he injured and can't participate in the competition? Why didn't he come out to explain? Mom is so worried."
"Ah, I've seen You Ge's training videos. His dancing is really amazing, so soulful. How could he withdraw from the competition? My heart aches."
"I don't care, I don't care, I don't care! Jiang You, charge! Li Kai, die!"
"I'm telling you guys, stop trying to defend him, okay? Jiang You withdrew from the competition; he has absolutely no professional ethics. He has a problem with his character. I really don't know what you guys are supporting him for. Supporting him for withdrawing from the competition at the last minute, supporting him for not offering a single explanation. Are you playing with your fans?"
"Sisters, there's a sniper upstairs, everyone focus your fire!"
......
Although there were criticisms of this matter, most people supported Xiaoyou and were concerned about whether she was injured and therefore withdrew from the competition.
Xiao You felt a warm feeling in her heart after seeing this.
Xiao You said to Jiang Kai, "Brother Jiang, don't do the resurrection competition."
Jiang Kai was clearly furious. "Why don't you do it? It's obvious that Xu Xi and Li Kai conspired to get you. Why are you still speaking up for them? Li Kai is standing so high now. I'm going to drag him down and let him know that he's trash."
Xiao You's reason was quite simple: "Holding a resurrection competition just for me, cough, that must cost a lot of money, right?"
"I'm happy to spend money on you, but I'm not going to swallow this insult even if I have to. And that Li Kai, I'm going to blacklist him. How dare he play such dirty tricks in front of me? He's asking for it."
Xiao You picked at her fingers. "Actually, we don't have to do this. If we just clarify this matter, Li Kai and Xu Xi will both be ruined, and it won't cost us a penny."
Jiang Kai frowned. "I know this method is simple and crude, but Xu Xi found a blind spot in the surveillance footage, so there was no evidence of him making a move. We can't find any evidence to catch him. I don't think it's worth the money, really."
Xiao You lowered his head and bit his finger.
Then, looking down and picking at her fingers, she said, "Just arrange to meet Xu Xi to talk about this. Prepare a hidden camera beforehand and record the conversation. Xu Xi won't expect me to do this, nor will he expect me to have the guts to harm him. I'll pretend to be angry and pitiful, and he'll say anything. Then I'll put the video online, and he and Li Kai will be ruined."
Xiao You kept her head down, picking at her fingers, her expression remaining indifferent.
Jiang Kai was shocked.
Not to mention Xu Xi wouldn't have expected Xiao You to do this, even Jiang Kai wouldn't have thought of it, okay?
Jiang Kai once thought that Xiao You was weak and kind, and he even thought that Xiao You would speak up and beg him to let Xu Xi go.
He truly hadn't expected that Xiao You would not only not ask for anything when she opened her mouth, but would also say something astonishing, revealing a meticulously crafted and elaborate plan for revenge.
Jiang Kai clicked his tongue in surprise, then said, "Xiao You, have you turned evil?"
He paused, then added, "You're scaring me."
Xiao You realized that Jiang Kai was teasing him, and his face turned red.
Then, her shy and hesitant demeanor clearly revealed that she was still the same Xiao You.
Jiang Kai, having seen Xiao You like this many times, thought she was harmless. But he forgot that if Xiao You wasn't smart, she wouldn't have made it all the way from the preliminaries to the finals and almost won the championship.
Despite Xiaoyou muttering "luck, luck" to herself.
It's impossible for her to win every match so well just by luck. Besides, she choreographed all the dances herself, so Xiaoyou's intelligence is quite high.
He just has a gentle and mild personality, as if he hides his wisdom and doesn't like to use it often.
But it always comes in handy at crucial moments.
When Xiao You saw Jiang Kai looking at him, he blushed and said, "I... I'm actually quite smart. I'm the top salesperson. They don't sell as many drinks as I do. Why is that?"
"Because you're good-looking."
Jiang Kai took the opportunity to praise Xiao You once, but he felt that one compliment was enough, as too much praise would make Xiao You arrogant.
Xiao You shook her head. "It's not just good-looking, it's what I rely on."
Xiao You pointed to her head.
Jiang Kai brought up the old matter again, "Then how did you manage to be swindled out of ten yuan by me?"
Xiao You blushed at the mention of the ten yuan. The reason he was tricked out of his money by Jiang Kai was largely because Jiang Kai had actually managed to seduce him.
She captivated him completely in bed, and he became so engrossed in her that he lost all sense of reason. What's that saying again? When you fall for someone, your IQ drops to zero.
Xiao You, of course, wouldn't tell Jiang Kai the truth. He blushed and said, "Sometimes my IQ is online, and sometimes it drops."
Jiang Kai sat on the hospital bed, holding Xiao You in his arms. He reached out and grabbed Xiao You's hand.
Xiao You's breath hitched. He shifted uncomfortably in Jiang Kai's arms, then rested the back of his head on Jiang Kai's shoulder and turned to look at him.
Her eyes were wet and so alluring.
Jiang Kai said seriously, "I was just giving you a hug, what are you doing? What are you thinking with that little head of yours? You might as well not take my surname Jiang anymore, take Huang's surname instead, Huang You."
Xiao You: "......."
His face turned bright red, then he sat up again, about to leave, saying, "Then, then don't hug me anymore."
"Favoring one's side."
Jiang Kai pinched Xiao You's fingers hard and said, "Can't I even give you a simple hug?"
As he spoke, Jiang Kai brought his face close to Xiao You's neck, his warm breath brushing against her neck as if carrying a deadly heat.
Xiao You: "......"
This person.
This person is really wicked.
Xiao You lowered his head again, wanting to kiss Jiang Kai, but Jiang Kai hugged him again, saying, "Be good, and I'll hug you."
Xiao You pursed her lips, "But I want to..."
No, you don't want to.
"I......"
"You don't want to."
Jiang Kai held Xiao You in his arms and said, "Here you are, and you really are Huang You. Your head is full of bad ideas."
Xiao You lowered her head after being told what Jiang Kai said, and even deeply reflected on whether her thoughts were too bad.
Seeing Xiaoyou's expression, Jiang Kai released her.
Then he went over, closed the door, and locked it from the inside. He turned off the lights in the ward and walked towards Xiaoyou.
He leaned closer to Xiaoyou, "It's only in moments like this that you can think about it, you know?"
Xiao You stammered, her breathing erratic, "I...I understand..."
the next day.
Xiao You arranged to meet Xu Xi at a coffee shop, and he specifically chose a quiet spot by the window.
Having achieved his goal, Xu Xi came to see Xiao You, and then spoke to her with some coldness, "What do you want from me?"
Xiao You looked at Xu Xi, his eyes filled with innocence and hurt—emotions he deliberately projected to get Xu Xi to tell the truth.
In reality, Xiao You no longer had any strong feelings for Xu Xi.
Before meeting Jiang Kai, Xiao You always thought she loved Xu Xi, but later she realized that he was just used to relying on Xu Xi and being good to her.
This is not love.
"You knew I was afraid of the dark, so why did you tie me up and put me in the closet?"
Xu Xi's impatient voice said, "Who told you not to listen to me and refuse to withdraw from the competition?"
"But I'm afraid of the dark. Even if you knock me out, I'll still miss the time and be disqualified. Why did you tie me up and lock me in the closet? You knew I was afraid of the dark. We grew up together, we know each other so well, why did you treat me like this? Is it because you fell in love with Li Kai?"
Xu Xi retorted to Xiao You with disgust, "Don't put it so harshly. I've never loved you, so how could I have fallen for someone else? I love Li Kai, so of course I have to consider his future and career. Li Kai and I will be a family in the future, and we will get married."
Xu Xi seemed to be doing it on purpose; his last sentence was so sharp, as if he wanted to pierce Xiao You's heart with every single word.
It was as if seeing Xiaoyou cry for him would ease some of the knot in his heart, at least proving that Xiaoyou still loved him and cared about him.
But Xiaoyou didn't cry. He looked at the hidden camera and said, "You can cut out the rest of this part."
Xu Xi panicked instantly. "Who are you talking to?"
