The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1510: Chapter 1510: Ji—Mouthy—You

Ji You followed Dr. Luo’s advice closely, not daring to mess around anymore, so she attended class, studied, and trained quietly... not daring to cross any line, and she even reduced her training intensity to allow herself some rest.

On her first day back at school, after classes were over, Ji You did nothing else and went straight to the hotpot restaurant on the school’s commercial street.

The hotpot restaurant was full of students, with many others waiting in line, and the place was decorated festively, as if celebrating a significant occasion.

Ji You was slightly taken aback; this scene seemed strangely familiar. Wasn’t this the hotpot restaurant’s monthly celebration event? Judging by the scale, it seemed like more than just a monthly celebration—perhaps an annual one. It was during this event that Ji You won Mengmeng’s heart, getting more opportunities to eat and drink for free at the hotpot restaurant.

Ji You looked around and realized that most of the faces in the restaurant were unfamiliar and very young; she guessed they were the newly admitted freshman juniors this year.

The atmosphere in the restaurant was lively, with everyone sitting together in their respective class groups, too absorbed to notice Ji You quietly approaching.

Ji You stood for a moment, puzzled as to why Mengmeng didn’t rush out to greet her today.

Could it be that she’s upset again?

What a jealous little bottle!

Oh well!

No choice, a pet llama I spoiled myself, I have to keep caring for it even if it cries.

Ji You lifted her foot, about to head towards the employee passage of the hotpot restaurant, when suddenly a voice came from beside her: ”Poor dead, I thought you wouldn’t come, oh, if you hadn’t come, Mengmeng would have been my little llama tonight!”

”...” Ji You: ”Dream on, stop eyeing Mengmeng.”

Chu Jiaojiao pushed aside Sheng Qingyan, squeezing next to Ji You, looking at Ji You’s flawless face, clutching her heart, and said, ”It’s this face, this face—no matter how many times I see it, my heart races and I’m about to pass out from the charm.”

”Don’t show such a scary expression at my face.” Ji You smacked Chu Jiaojiao’s hand away and wanted to keep walking; the employee passage was only accessible to hotpot restaurant employees, but Ji You was always the exception and could go anywhere but the owner’s room. Just as she reached the threshold of the passage, she pushed the door but couldn’t open it, leaving her startled.

Sheng Qingyan covered her mouth, gloating with laughter: ”Stunned, huh? Didn’t you know? You’ve been dumped by Mengmeng; she doesn’t want you anymore.”

Ji You: ”...”

Ji You retorted: ”Nonsense.”

Sheng Qingyan snickered: ”Believe it or not, we’ll see.”

Blocked from entering the employee passage for now, Ji You noticed an empty seat to Shen Changqing’s right, pulled out the chair, and sat down. Just as she sat, Shen Changqing said, ”We saved seats for you and Student Fufeng, the store celebration event is about to start. He hasn’t shown up, and we almost thought you wouldn’t come either. Ayan was about to call you.”

Sheng Qingyan pouted and said, ”I absolutely wasn’t planning to call the poor dead to urge her over, oh, I wanted to tell her not to come, oh.”

Ji You glanced sideways at Sheng Qingyan and said to Shen Changqing, ”Little Stupid, don’t you think your brother Ayan is annoying? How about we put him in a sack and beat him up together?”

Shen Changqing’s face immediately turned bright red.

Nearby, Yue Qiyuan, Xuzhou, Lou, Lance, and others watched Ji You’s antics, rendered speechless. In terms of self-destruction ability, 4444 Ji You was unbeatable—she could offend two people with just one sentence.

Shen Changqing held back for a moment and mumbled, ”Ayan and I are thinking of putting you in a sack and beating you up.”

Ji You laughed mischievously, seeing Xuzhou glaring at her with his thick eyebrows and big eyes. She couldn’t help but smile and say, ”Sonny, missing Barbie?”

Xuzhou: ”...”

Zhang Ye rolled his eyes and said, ”Little Zhouzhou, I support you in righteously eliminating your kin.”

Xuzhou stood up, pulled out a chair, and walked out.

Zhang Ye quickly grabbed him and spat at Ji You: ”Look at how you’ve upset your sonny—he’s not even eating now.”

Xuzhou’s fingers twitched; he almost couldn’t resist grabbing the chair and throwing it at them.

Xuzhou took a deep breath and said, ”I’m going to the bathroom.”

Only then did Zhang Ye let Xuzhou go.

Xuzhou dashed off quickly.

And then.

He didn’t come back for a long time.

Ji You poured herself a glass of water, took a sip, and said to Zhang Ye: ”Traitor brother, you chased my little Zhouzhou off; do you plan to take his place? Sorry, I don’t need such a sneaky big sonny.”

Zhang Ye: ”...”

Zhang Ye suddenly stood up, saying, ”Little Zhouzhou has been gone for quite a while. No, I’m going to fetch him.”

And then.

Zhang Ye also left with an attitude of no return.

The entire table suddenly had only white eyes rolling in unison, all directed at Ji You. Ji You calmly drank water, seemingly unaware of her loose tongue.

Yue Qiguang scorned Ji You and cursed, ”4444, what’s up with your mouth today—trying to get beaten up? You have a death wish?”

Ji You took a sip of water with satisfaction and said, ”No, no, I’m terribly afraid of dying, but rest assured, even if I’m down to my last breath, I can still beat you up.”

Yue Qiguang: ”...”

Yue Qiguang turned to Yue Qiyuan.

Yue Qiyuan shook his head and said, ”Knowing she’s annoying, why would I provoke her? Just pretend I don’t exist.”

Yue Qiguang cursed, ”Your so-called brotherhood is fake. Don’t expect me to lend you any pocket money this month.”

”...” Yue Qiyuan: ”You’ve got it backward, right?”

Yue Qiguang: ”Ahem...”

Everyone chattered here and there, bantering without restraint, while the hotpot restaurant’s robot assistant delivered trays of food, lit the copper pot, and brought the steaming hot air...

That’s when Xuzhou and Zhang Ye suddenly reappeared, as if their restroom escape had never existed. They promptly sat down, grabbing chopsticks and starting to cook hotpot.

The most enticing dish was the marbled beef, and as everyone reached for the marbled beef, suddenly, Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiguang, Xuzhou—all the mischievous friends spoke simultaneously: ”I didn’t wash my hands after going to the bathroom.”

Everyone: ”...”

There was only a momentary pause, as if the remark had never been made, they swiftly extended their chopsticks, making every effort to grab more slices of meat.

The marbled beef vanished in an instant.

The next second.

The group reached for another dish of sliced fish——

...

Inside the hotpot restaurant.

The hotpot restaurant owner looked at Liu Fufeng, who was sitting on a chair with his eyes fixed on the screen, watching Ji You and others frantically grabbing food, and couldn’t help but sigh softly, saying, ”Young master, if you want to join them, go ahead.”

Liu Fufeng suddenly stood up and said, ”No, I don’t want to join them.”

After finishing.

Liu Fufeng stood up, twisted the door handle, and walked into the room.
