#473 - Chapter 471: Black Group
During the Spring Festival, KTV prices soared, but that couldn't stop those who wanted to show off their singing skills in front of family and friends.
For example, Qi Jing's two uncles liked to belt out a few songs at KTV every year.
After lunch, they drove everyone to a large venue in the county and began to display their bold singing voices.
"If the sea could~ bring back the love~ of the past~"
Under the flashing colored lights, Qi Jing watched his aunts chatting, his grandparents dozing off, and his younger siblings playing with tablets on the floor... and picked up his phone.
This time, no one will bother me, right?
However, this time the chat message wasn't from Tan Zuoyin, but from the small group they formed when they graduated from high school.
Yang Que: [Assemble! Are you all done with the New Year? Let's get together quickly!]
English Class Representative: [What's the rush? Your Ability Academy starts classes several days later than ours, what's the hurry?]
Study Committee Member: [That's right, that's right]
Yang Que: [I'm a good student, I need to go to school early to study, I can't be like you guys and have to finish the whole vacation]
English Class Representative: [You're a good student? Come on, you're the only one in this group who failed Advanced Mathematics]
Study Committee Member: [That's right, that's right]
Yang Que: [It was just one point]
Hygiene Committee Member: [If you loved studying, I might even find a girlfriend]
Study Committee Member: [That's right, that's right]
Yang Que: [@Study Committee Member, stop saying 'that's right, that's right,' when can you come out?]
Study Committee Member: [I'm free anytime]
Hygiene Committee Member: [Three days from now, I still have relatives visiting]
English Class Representative: [Almost the same, I'm free in four days, @Game Committee Member @Qi Jing, report in]
Qi Jing, who was lurking, saw that he was tagged and typed:
[Any day after tomorrow is fine]
English Class Representative: [@Game Committee Member, you were the fastest at snatching red envelopes in the New Year's Eve group, stop pretending to be dead, come out quickly]
As soon as this message was sent, the Game Committee Member replied instantly: [Anytime]
English Class Representative: [OK, then it's settled, five days from now, 10:00 AM, meet at the school gate]
Hygiene Committee Member: [Just us few? Not bringing a girl or something?]
English Class Representative: [Do you even know any girls? Where are we supposed to find you a girl when we're all single?]
Yang Que: [Fang Sheng, that bastard, isn't single]
English Class Representative: [Damn, I forgot if you didn't say so, there's a bad guy among us, how about we kick him out, five is enough anyway]
Yang Que: [I couldn't agree more]
Qi Jing: [You guys, so what if I have a girlfriend, does having a girlfriend mean I should be discriminated against? Is there any justice left? Is there any law left!]
Yang Que: [In this day and age, you dare to have a girlfriend, but you don't dare to admit the fact that having a girlfriend will be despised?]
Study Committee Member: [That's right, that's right]
Qi Jing: [You little brat, do you want me to reveal how you chased after a girl by cutting off your hair]
English Class Representative: [? ? ?]
English Class Representative: [@Yang Que, you little bastard, you secretly got a girlfriend without telling us brothers?]
Study Committee Member: [You should be punished!]
Yang Que: [Shouldn't you be saying 'that's right, that's right'?]
English Class Representative: [Stop pretending, confess and be lenient, resist and be severely punished]
Study Committee Member: [That's right, that's right]
Yang Que: [It's not really a girlfriend, we haven't even started dating yet]
Qi Jing: [Come on, a lone man and a widow alone in a room at 12 o'clock at night, and you haven't even started dating yet, I'm afraid you're already halfway there]
Yang Que: [Slander! She was tutoring me with my homework at night, nothing happened]
English Class Representative: [What else did you want to do? Alas, you've changed, Que Xinyan, you weren't this dishonest before]
Study Committee Member: [That's right, that's right]
Yang Que: [No, it was in a brightly lit classroom, what could I do? The door wasn't even closed, and there were security cameras]
English Class Representative: [Say no more, we understand]
Yang Que: [What do you understand?]
Hygiene Committee Member: [I understand too]
Yang Que: [? ? ?]
Study Committee Member: [Just understand, just understand]
Qi Jing: [Hahaha]
Yang Que: [Ah~~~Really nothing, you have to believe me!]
Yang Que: [@Qi Jing, you dumb bird Fang Sheng, explain it, I really didn't get a girlfriend]
Qi Jing: [Just tell us, do you have feelings for her or not?]
Yang Que: [A little bit, but she doesn't have feelings for me]
Qi Jing: [@Everyone, look at this person, he betrayed us]
English Class Representative: [You're not a good person either]
Study Committee Member: [That's right, that's right]
Hygiene Committee Member: [Are the Ability Academy so easy to find girlfriends in? It's pitiful for me, studying engineering, I can't even hear a girl's voice]
Qi Jing: [It has nothing to do with what university you go to, it's purely because I'm handsome]
Yang Que: [Come on, if it weren't for me, you two would still be crying somewhere]
English Class Representative: [To be fair, the gender ratio at the Ability Academy is closest to one-to-one, everyone has the same chance of awakening good abilities, there's no gender difference, there are indeed more girls]
Hygiene Committee Member: [I heard that a new policy is coming out today, saying that if your ability evolves to level two or three during university and you have good skills, you can be recruited into the Ability Academy, I also have a chance!]
English Class Representative: [What's your ability called again? Housekeeping? Don't say, although the level one ability is to sweep the floor quickly, level two might really evolve into an ability that can get you into the Ability Academy]
Hygiene Committee Member: [Hehe]
Yang Que: [When you guys come, mention Fang Sheng's name, it works, he's a big shot at the Ability Academy now]
Hygiene Committee Member: [So awesome?]
Qi Jing: [Not that great, don't listen to his nonsense]
Yang Que: [He took a photo with the Goddess of Beauty, and he's the Rookie King of our year!]
English Class Representative: [What! ! ! Rookie King! Fang Sheng, you're a winner in life! You have both the world and beauty, I'm so jealous]
Study Committee Member: [That's right, that's right]
Hygiene Committee Member: [It seems we are destined to drift further and further apart]
Qi Jing: [Just so-so, just so-so, not that great]
English Class Representative: [But your gaming skills definitely aren't as good as ours, since you're the Rookie King and have a girlfriend, you definitely don't have time to play games, right?]
Study Committee Member: [That's right, that's right]
That's not necessarily true.
Why does everyone think you have to work hard to become strong?
The world's prejudice against me is too deep.
Qi Jing: [Just so-so, just so-so]
English Class Representative: [I'll carry you in five days, get ready to be carried]
Qi Jing: [Thanks, Boss, I'm ready]
Yang Que: [(￢_￢)]
Pretending, pretending hard.
Qi Jing could see the meaning behind Yang Que's expression.
Fortunately, he didn't say it directly, otherwise half the fun of showing off in front of others would be gone.
"Brother, go up and sing a couple of songs, Dad and them have already sung all the songs they know."
Qi Jing had just put down his phone when Mei Xiaomo pointed him to the microphone on the table and the empty accompaniment on the big screen, wanting him to sing.
He turned his head and saw that his uncles and cousin were already drinking and bragging, while his aunts were still chatting, and the KTV was currently unused.
What a waste, it's a waste to have accompaniment with no one singing.
"Should I try it out?"
"Go on, brother, you sing so well, otherwise my brother will grab the microphone and start singing nursery rhymes."
"That won't do, I'll go right now."
Letting kids sing nursery rhymes in KTV is absolutely intolerable, empty accompaniment is better than their random yelling.
Watching Qi Jing pick up the microphone and order a song, Mei Xiaomo raised the phone she had been hiding behind her back and said to the screen:
"Baozis, look, my brother is going to sing again, give Momo some likes if you like it."
