The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 101: Chapter 101: You’re a Good Person

Drill square.

As soon as Principal Hong announced dismissal, students dispersed and headed towards the parked spaceships nearby. Organized by class, everyone started boarding the ship in a disciplined manner, when suddenly—

Shen Changqing broke away from the group, striding towards the end of the new students’ line.

”Hey?”

”What is Shen Changqing doing?”

”Where is he going?”

Though he was eliminated early, no one could deny Shen Changqing’s excellence.

He has S-level spiritual power, which is rarer than S-level Physical Strength. Among the 5000 new students admitted to Lanyue Star this year, there are nine with S-level Physical Strength, but only two have reached S-level spiritual power!

That’s right.

Only two: Shen Changqing and Yue Qiyuan.

One is from the Mecha Combat Department.

The other is from the Mechanical Manufacturing System.

In fact, people with high spiritual power usually choose the Mechanical Manufacturing System, as it demands more from their spiritual power talent.

Yet, these two geniuses chose their major departments and also took a minor in the other.

If Shen Changqing were to devote himself to learning and researching Mechanical Manufacturing, he would definitely become a Mechanical Master in the future!

Yes! That is the confidence of someone with S-level spiritual power talent.

Facing the curious and inquisitive glances, Shen Changqing’s expression remained calm, ignoring everyone’s scrutiny, and kept walking towards the back of the line.

On this side,

the self-funded class was at the very end, and Ji You intentionally lagged behind to distance herself from Sheng Qingyan.

Unexpectedly, Sheng Qingyan seemed completely oblivious to social cues; seeing Ji You step back, he also moved back.

Ji You gave him a dismissive look: ”The drill is over, why are you still clinging to me?”

Sheng Qingyan’s handsome eyes blinked: ”Jiaojiao told me...”

”You promised her 10 roasted rabbits...”

”She said if she keeps a close eye on you, you’ll give her 5...”

Ji You: ”...”

Turns out he’s a debt collector.

Ji You raised her hand, pointing at a distance, and said, ”Then you need to stay at least 5 meters away from me.”

Sheng Qingyan puzzledly asked, ”Why...”

Ji You rolled her eyes: ”A debt collector is bothersome, don’t you have any self-awareness?”

Sheng Qingyan: ”...”

How annoying...

This person is bullying Little Cutie again...

While talking, suddenly Shen Changqing, taking long strides, came straight up and stood rigidly in front of Ji You.

Ji You was taken aback and stepped back.

Shen Changqing remained silent, not uttering a word.

His posture seemed threatening, leaving Ji You baffled—

Seeking revenge?

Retaliation?

Starting a fight?

In any case, he came with ill intentions!

Ji You kept a straight face, quietly observing.

Shen Changqing’s dark pupils fixed on Ji You, shut tight.

The atmosphere seemed frozen.

Silence.

An eerie, death-like silence.

Surrounding students also stopped in their tracks, starting to spectate.

This—

Surely, they were going to fight! Absolutely going to fight! Didn’t you see Shen Changqing’s fists clenched?

The bystanders all glanced sideways—

Suddenly—

Shen Changqing took a half step forward, Ji You suddenly retreated a step back and quickly raised her hand, staring at Shen Changqing with a serious face: ”Shen Changqing, don’t say anything! I understand what you mean—”

Eh?

Understand?

What did she understand?

Shen Changqing was puzzled, only to hear Ji You loudly say: ”You’re a good person—but I already have someone I like, so it’s impossible between us!”

”...” Shen Changqing’s face instantly turned red.

What?

Everyone was shocked.

Shen Changqing confessed to Ji You?

And was rejected on the spot?

The people at the front of the line didn’t know the specifics, nor did they know what had happened, but Ji You’s loud voice was almost heard by everyone.

”Did Shen Changqing really confess?”

”Really! I saw it with my own eyes!”

”He got rejected? That’s rough.”

...

Facing the various discussions around, Shen Changqing’s face was red as if it was a cooked crab shell, not knowing where to put his hands and feet.

Ji You, peeking at his expression, found it a bit strange: Eh, wasn’t he here for revenge?

Looking at Shen Changqing’s tightly clenched fists, and the veins bulging on his arms, Ji You was scared. To protect herself, she preemptively handed him a good person card!

In short, one policy: If the reason isn’t clear, strike first!

Ji You: ”Classmate Shen Changqing, it wasn’t my intention to hurt you, please understand, but—we’re really not suitable...”

So—

Please stay away from me!

Shen Changqing was about to speak: ”Ji... Ji... Ji You! I... I have seen your performance in this drill, I... I admit that you did very well! But—I am not worse than you.”

Ji You: ”...”

After holding his breath, Shen Changqing finally spoke, and after saying these words, he turned around and left.

Ji You rubbed her head: So... he really didn’t come for revenge?

As long as he wasn’t here to fight, pick a quarrel, or seek revenge, everything was negotiable.

Ji You patted her chest, took a deep breath, it seems that classmate Shen Changqing is quite decent.

Meanwhile, Sheng Qingyan blinked her eyes, looking at Ji You with a face showing schadenfreude: ”You’re so bad...”

”You even bullied Shen Changqing...”

”You’re in trouble...”

Ji You: ”What??”

Sheng Qingyan covered the corner of her mouth, giggling: ”Shen Changqing’s grandfather is Admiral Shen, the commander of the Third Legion of the Alliance...”

Ji You’s eyes widened: ”!!!”

How many legions does the Alliance have? Only...only six. And Shen Changqing’s grandfather is Admiral Shen!

Scary... Absolutely terrifying.

As if that wasn’t enough, Sheng Qingyan covered her mouth, giggling: ”Commanding hundreds of millions of soldiers... a punch from each and you wouldn’t be left with even a speck...”

”Admiral Shen is particularly protective...”

”There was someone who bullied Shen Changqing before, and Admiral Shen drove a mecha to the school and hung the person up for a beating...”

”I saw it with my own eyes...”

With Sheng Qingyan’s words falling, Ji You’s face became paler and paler...

”It... can’t be, right?”

Sheng Qingyan smiled: ”Only grandson, three generations... it indeed is the case...”

Ji You with a stern face: ”Are you intentionally exaggerating?”

”Someone who grew up with Shen Changqing, same kindergarten, primary, and middle school... would they lie to you?” Sheng Qingyan shook her head, pretending to be profound and walked away.

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You was stunned. Shen Changqing has such a big background? Also... too frightening, right?

General Shen, so overly protective?

I just played a tiny joke on Shen Changqing, was that really necessary?

For a moment, Ji You’s head was spinning, standing there, unable to move.

Ahead, after walking a few steps, Sheng Qingyan secretly covered her mouth, remembering the stiff and constipated-like ugly expression of Ji You just moments ago and couldn’t help but want to laugh; she wouldn’t tell Ji You that the person who bullied Shen Changqing back then and got hung up for a beating by Shen Changqing’s grandfather driving the mecha, was actually herself!
