Ji Zhiyao laughed till tears. “Why did I not realize that he was so interesting when I attended lessons last time? Wen Heng did scare me just now, I thought that was the end of my class performance points.”

Ning Lichao assured. “Don’t panic, it’s not a big problem.”

Ji Zhiyao’s eyes curved as he smiled and asked, “Do you guys have time tonight? I’ll treat you guys to a meal? Thanks for marking my attendance for me for this week.”

Wen Heng replied, “I have nothing on tonight.”

Ning Lichao also said, “Me too. I stay in the dorm every night, gonna rot soon.”

Ji Zhiyao hesitated for a moment then said, “You guys think of what you want to eat, I’ll ask if Yang Bing wants to come along.”

After all, they belonged to the same dorm. If they were going out for dinner and didn’t ask Yang Bing, that would be a little too much.

Ji Zhiyao had just sent a WeChat text to Yang Bing and realized that Yang Bing had replied immediately: I’m eating with Chuxue tonight, I won’t go with you guys then. You guys go ahead.”

Ji Zhiyao sighed faintly, lifting his head to look at Wen Heng and Ning Lichao. “Yang Bing said he’s not coming, let’s not bother about him. Have you guys thought of what to eat? I’ll make a reservation beforehand.”

“Let’s get boiled fish in chilli oil, both of us are kind of craving it.”

“Okay.” Ji Zhiyao agreed, picking up his phone and starting to find boiled fish restaurants nearby.

When they decided on a place, three of them pulled on their jackets and left the dorm, heading right to the hotel in a taxi.

The extra spicy boiled fish was a sea of red, so spicy that even Ji Zhiyao’s mouth was swollen, his organs were all burning together, his entire body had broken out in perspiration. He gulped down a glass of drink, when put his glass down, he realized that his two roommates opposite him weren’t in much better states than him.

Ji Zhiyao stuck his tongue out to ease the spiciness while mocking them. “Why did you guys... have to order... extra spicy? We... We’re done for... this time.”

Ning Lichao was already crying. “Ho... How would I know that this place... uses hot peppers!”

Wen Heng’s usual aloof expression was non-existent, only left with a pair of red and swollen rabbit eyes, glaring viciously at them.

On the way back to school, the taxi driver even repeatedly looked back at the three of their sausage lips, appearing like he wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to.

Fortunately the light was dim during the drive, so the driver couldn’t see clearly what they looked like. If not they would really be too ashamed to show their faces.

After alighting as they walked under the bright street lamps, they covered a big half of their faces as if they were thieves, only daring to lift their hands after returning to the dorm. The three people were dead tired, sitting facing each other on the floor, staring at each other, they suddenly burst into loud laughter.

This was simply too interesting.

As his mouth was swollen, Ji Zhiyao did not turn on his camera when he did his livestream that night, his throat was also a little hoarse. Fans in the livestream room were all questioning if it was because the team was pushing him too hard and he was too overworked, and hence became like this.

Seeing all the mind-blowing guesses from the fans in the comments, Ji Zhiyao could not hold back his laughter, saying hoarsely, “Can you guys stop imagining those weird things? The team is very good to me, pressuring me doesn’t exist at all. My throat is hoarse because the boiled fish in chili oil that I had tonight was too spicy.”

[Although I know MelonRind is speaking the truth, but I still can’t help but worry about my melonrind.]

[Can’t help but worry about my melonrind +1 ]

[Can’t help but worry about my melonrind +10086 ]

Ji Zhiyao could not help but be pleased. “Oh dear, I know you guys like me, please don’t vocalize it, I’m shy.”

[They were obviously worried if you would become more greasy yeah, after all that photo from a few days ago LOL]

[Oh my god, why bring up that photo again? Are you guys devils huh HAHAHAHA! ! ! ]

[MelonRind’s inner os: I somehow have an ominous feeling.]

[Already gone mad from laughing.]

Ji Zhiyao’s expression started to turn dark since seeing the word “photo”, till he breathed in and out to calm down for a while before he said with pretended calmness, “Let me tell you guys, that photo was really an accident. It was simply because A University’s canteen has bad lighting that made my face look very oily, it’s actually not.”

[What did A University’s canteen do wrong that you had to make it take the blame?! ]

[This photo was taken during the national performance tournament tour right? LOL so you were with Fi-god all the time hm. ]

[Why are you explaining if you don’t have a guilty conscience! ]

[Turn on the camera to prove yourself! If you don’t turn on the camera, how would I be able to know if you’re lying or not?]

And the comments after that all began requesting for him to turn on his camera, Ji Zhiyao was about to go crazy.

If it weren’t for these two pieces of sausage lips, he would certainly be very willing to turn on the camera to prove that his face wasn’t oily at all.

But!

If there was an item such as regret pills in this world, he was willing to use the few kg of extra spicy boiled fish that he had eaten tonight as the price in exchange for it.

Ji Zhiyao pretended that he hadn’t seen those neat rows of comments and picked one that wasn’t very sensitive from among them to answer. “The photo was indeed taken during the team’s national performance tournament tour, A City was the first stop.”

[I didn’t go to A City to watch the tournament but I watched the one of Mix against Stickers in S City, it was really exciting.]

[I know! I went to the actual venue to watch the A City’s tournament. I still remember even now the pestering handling from that Mix used to bring Bao Lu battleteam’s mid-laner to tears LOL]

[Heng saying that his tear glands weren’t on your body, those words made me laugh for three entire days.]

[Although I know you are changing topic, I must admit that you really did play rather well during the tour.]

[MelonRind very well done QAQ]

[So why exactly was Bao Lu battleteam beaten to tears?]

Ji Zhiyao scratched his head, not quite understanding why they kept harping on the matter of Bao Lu’s mid-laner being forced to tears and explained tactfully, saying, “Perhaps because the first match ended rather fast, Bao Lu battleteam’s mid-laner wasn’t prepared and couldn’t accept it.”

[For this “don’t know how to explain but insist on doing so” I give you full marks.]

[MelonRind did you have fun playing during the performance tournament tour?]

Ji Zhiyao saw this comment and said seriously, “I didn’t feel that I was playing, because there exists a very gap between me and the seniors, I did play diligently for every match. Some matches may look like they were easy wins, but I was really very serious about all of them.”

[LOL we got it, our melonrind is a diligent and good baby!]

[Don’t worry don’t worry, we know you, don’t be afraid!]

[When are you going to do a gaming livestream?]

“If it’s for gaming, I can only make it up with one at the end of this month.” Ji Zhiyao thought for a bit and said, “My examinations are coming, I don’t have time this entire month.]

[Never mind, I’ll bear with the pain and forgive you.]

[What else can I say? Of course it would be forgiving you with a smile.]

[Is it the best to smile and live on?]

Ji Zhiyao watched the comments that were coming in rapidly and thought of a matter, then said a little shyly, “Previously I was preparing for the national performance tournament tour and didn’t really pay attention to outside news. I want to thank you guys for helping me boost my Weibo popularity and helped me to get a ninth position for most influential internet celebrity. Although it sounds a little like an internet-star, I’m still very thankful to you all.”

[We’ve received your sincerity, don’t need to thank mommy anymore, good son!]
