Chapter 46: You Are the Great General
Translator: CTCTRANS Editor: CTCTRANS
Tan Song fell silent the moment he finished speaking.
Qi Wu’s statement that “they were just teasing the kid” had been stuck in his mind, so he had actually thought of Jiang Yiran as a child just now.
Just as Tan Song fell silent, Jiang Yiran blurted out to defend himself, “I’m already an adult! ”
“It’s just a slip of the tongue…”
An awkward look was painted across Tan Song’s face.
Jiang Xuxu could not help but laugh. “You’re the youngest here. Tong Luo is 3 months older than you! ”
“How did you know?”
Jiang Yiran stared at her with a strange look in his eyes. “You’re a wicked woman!”
Jiang Xuxu rolled her eyes.
Before the show started filming, Jiang Yiran was one of the most popular contestants, so Jiang Xuxu naturally looked into him as well.
Moreover, anyone who was somewhat popular after making their debut had a lot of their private information on the Internet. One just needed to separate the truth from the lies.
Tan Song could not help but look over.
This time, he finally realized that something was wrong.
Whenever he looked over, Jiang Yiran would immediately become quiet and well-behaved.
Was Jiang Yiran afraid of him?
There was now a strange glint in Tan Song’s eyes.
However, when he thought of what had happened before, that ridiculous notion was quickly dispelled from his mind.
Not only was Jiang Yiran a rookie that Yuchu Entertainment was promoting, but his family was also the head of Jiang’s Global Pharmaceuticals in Jingdu.
Hence, Tan Song was not surprised to see that Jiang Yiran was somewhat entitled and spoiled, but that meant he would further avoid interacting with Jiang Yiran.
After lunch, the group dispersed and went back to their dorm rooms to rest.
As soon as they returned to their bedroom, Tong Luo saw Qi Wu pick up her phone and calmly walk into the bathroom before Tong Luo could tell her to rest.
Tong Luo did not think that it was a call from her sugar daddy this time.
That was because something dark seemed to be brewing beneath Qi Wu’s eyes.
Qi Wu locked the bathroom door and looked at herself in the mirror.
Compared to her previous life when she was a temple priestess, there was a hint of gentleness and liveliness in her current face.
This made Qi Wu realize that the cold-hearted priestess, trapped in the cold temple building, was gone.
She did not move an inch and continued to stare at herself in the mirror. She subconsciously clenched her hand around the phone. After a while, Qi Wu called Jin Si with a blank look on her face.
Doot. Doot. Doot.
The bathroom was silent. Occasionally, she could faintly hear water rushing through the pipes, so the dial tone sounded crystal clear as it echoed through the room.
About 10 seconds later, Jin Si picked up the phone. There was a faint static noise as Jin Si asked, “What is it?”
“You are the Great General of Destiny.”
Qi Wu coldly stared at her reflection as it gradually merged with her old appearance as a temple priestess.
In the solemn and sacred temple, countless huge pillars lined the halls while layers of golden fabric hung from the top of the pillars.
That empty hall was lit by flickering candles housed by candle holders made of gold in every corner.
In that cold and silent hall, the priestess sat on a seat high above everyone else while wearing a complicated and elegant robe as she looked down at the people below.
Her eyes were filled with compassion yet indifference at everything.
Her calm and dignified voice suddenly echoed through the quiet and empty hall. “You are the Great General of Destiny.” Once more, Qi Wu repeated that line.
Jin Si was silent.
After a while, Jin Si asked, “Are you stupid?”
Qi Wu instantly snapped back to her senses.
She shook her head. “That was practice for an acting class.”
“Is that so?”
Jin Si raised his eyebrows.
“Yes.” Qi Wu softly replied. “Good afternoon, Jin Si.” Without waiting for Jin Si’s reply, she hung up.
When the call ended, Qi Wu’s calm had returned.
Although there were many similarities between the two men, Jin Si was definitely not that person.
Meanwhile, Jin Si stared down at his phone after Qi Wu hung up on him. He silently stared at it for a very long time.
When Lou Ying walked in, he was startled by how still Jin Si was.
If Jin Si had not snapped back to his senses and glanced at him, Lou Ying would have thought that Jin Si had lost his soul to the ghost.
“Lou Ying,” Jin Si suddenly called out.
Lou Ying subconsciously straightened his back and firmly replied, “Present, sir! ”
Silence fell.
Jin Si speechlessly looked at Lou Ying before silently sighing. “Forget it.”
It was better not to ask Lou Ying.
Furthermore, Jin Si could not even begin to describe that feeling.
Jin Si’s heart had skipped a beat when he heard Qi Wu’s words.
It was as if he had opened Pandora’s Box, releasing something that was out of his control.
Lou Ying was confused.
While Jin Si did not say anything, Lou Ying could feel that he was being looked down upon.
In the afternoon, Jiang Xuxu acted like a serious and responsible student and brought a bunch of snacks and drinks for Qi Wu. Then, she stuffed them into Qi Wu’s small bag.
Qi Wu blinked. “Xuxu, what’s this?”
Jiang Xuxu looked up in surprise. “They’re jelly!”
She quickly opened her backpack. “What flavor do you want? I have honeydew, coconut, and..
She listed out all the flavors before showing Qi Wu how it was meant to be eaten.
Qi Wu curiously followed her example.
“Like this?” Qi Wu obediently asked.
Jiang Xuxu was shocked.
She felt like her heart was about to melt.
“Yes! Oh, how can you be so cute?”
If Qi Wu had not been in the middle of eating, Jiang Xuxu would have already pounced on her.
A relaxed smile appeared on Qi Wu’s face, like an easily satisfied child.
“Thank you. It’s delicious.”
At that moment, Shen Xi walked into the room.
There were many people in the lecture hall. After all, in terms of popularity, Shen Xi was the most popular among the three mentors. Moreover, he taught both idol and acting classes.
After Jiang Xuxu fed Qi Wu, she was back in her social butterfly mode and briefly scanned the others in the room.
When she saw that Tong Fei was also in the classroom, she immediately lost interest in socializing.
She pursed her lips. “Why are we in the same class as Tong Fei?”
Hearing that, Qi Wu slowly looked up at Tong Fei.
She was seated in the front row near the door. As soon as Shen Xi walked in, her eyes seemed to be glued to him as they never moved away.
A thoughtful look gleamed in Qi Wu’s eyes.
Just as she was about to look away, she met Shen Xi’s gaze.
He seemed to be observing her too..
