Chapter Seventeen: I Did It On Intentionally

"What's Xu Jiaojiao doing? If she knew the answer, why didn't she just tell us secretly? Why did she have to shout it so loudly? If Luo Yi and the others hadn't heard, we would have tied the game with that extra point!" someone complained.

Xiao Yang quickly comforted her, "Xu Jiaojiao didn't do it on purpose."

"Yeah, she didn't do it on purpose, she did it intentionally! Everyone knows she's close to Luo Yi and the others!" the person said angrily.

Although they were speaking in hushed tones, the screening room was only so big, and they were all sitting hand in hand, how could they not hear each other?

"Is it really that big of a deal? It's just one question!" Wang Wei pouted.

"What do you mean just one question? We're only one point behind their team!! Don't you want to win?"

This girl was also furious, and her voice became uncontrollable when she got excited, and everyone in the room could hear her.

"Please be quiet, let's start watching the second video now." Zhuo Yiyan glanced indifferently at the girls who could argue over such a small matter.

Wang Wei glanced smugly at the girl who could only keep quiet, then turned to look at the person next to her. She caught a fleeting smile on the girl's lips; she blinked, and it was gone. She immediately thought she was hallucinating. If she were the one being insulted, she wouldn't be able to smile either.

Next, she discovered that this girl, several years younger than her, was truly amazing.

One question after another, and every answer Xu Jiaojiao gave was accurate, as if she had asked the questions herself.

And each time Xu Jiaojiao gave her answer, her voice was just loud enough for Luo Yi to hear. It

was clear that Luo Yi trusted her; after hearing her answer, she immediately changed her team's conclusion. Xiao Yang and his team, on the other hand, were the opposite; twice, even after hearing Xu Jiaojiao's answer, they still believed their own was correct. Now, Luo Yi's team had a three-point lead over theirs.

The girl who had complained about Xu Jiaojiao earlier was furious, but no matter what she said, Xu Jiaojiao always had only one sentence.

"I'm already speaking very softly, but what can I do? I have a loud voice!"

Although Wang Wei was a little anxious seeing Luo Yi's team about to win, she had to admit that when she saw Luo Yi say this with such a shameless expression, she had an urge to reach out and pinch that little face.

How could she be so cute?

"Haha, Luo Yi, look at that person, he's almost driven crazy by Jiao Jiao." Pu Mingyu nudged Luo Yi and said in a low voice with a smile.

"Serves him right!" Luo Yi snorted.

"I think Jiao Jiao did it on purpose." Pu Mingyu said.

"No," Luo Yi laughed, "she did it intentionally."

"Jiao Jiao's personality is really quite interesting. You say I did it on purpose, so I'll show you. Xiao Yang and the others must be regretting it now."

Xiao Yang was indeed regretting it. She could see that Xu Jiao Jiao was someone who responded to gentleness but not force. The more you went against her, the more she would make things difficult for you, and she didn't care about the consequences at all.

Actually, it should have been known sooner. Take Qi Hua for example; everyone initially disliked Xu Jiaojiao, but after only a week, without Xu Jiaojiao doing anything particularly noteworthy, everyone's impression of her changed drastically, and they even thought Qi Hua was a bad person. In just one week, the person who was isolated completely turned the tables.

But this wasn't entirely her fault; she didn't know that Xu Jiaojiao knew so much at such a young age. Anyone in her position certainly wouldn't have paid too much attention to Xu Jiaojiao.

Thinking this, Xiao Yang calmed down, leaned over, and said in a gentle voice, "Jiaojiao, there's only one last video. If we can get these three points, we still have a chance to beat Luo Yi's team. If you know the answer, can you just tell us? If our team wins, you'll get a reward too!"

"That's right, Jiaojiao, whether we win or not depends on you!" As a witness, Wang Wei, sitting next to Sheng Jiaoyang, believed in her abilities the most.

The other members of the team looked at Sheng Jiaoyang expectantly, even the girl who had been furious earlier had shut her mouth.

Nobody wants to lose, otherwise why would they participate in the competition?

Sheng Jiaoyang was silent for two seconds, then suddenly smiled and said, "No problem, as long as I know."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Luo Yi's team became anxious.

"Luo Yi, Jiao Jiao is going to help her team." Pu Mingyu said anxiously.

"Well, there's nothing I can do," Luo Yi shrugged, "I refuse to believe we won't be able to answer any of the next three questions!"

"Hopefully the questions will be easy." Pu Mingyu sighed.

The fifth video was already playing on the big screen in front, starting with a glamorous runway show, followed by a fashion show.

After the video ended, the tricky questions came again.

The first question: What color bracelet is the fifth person to appear wearing?

The second question: Among the male models walking the runway, there is a neutral female model; identify which female model appeared in which order.

The third question: The designer who appeared last said that this was the number of shows he had ever held in his life.

The third question tested memory, the second tested eyesight, and the first tested both eyesight and memory.

Most people's memories are worse than a fish's these days; many can't even perfectly repeat a phone number someone just read out. Let alone remembering the order of appearance and the colors of jewelry worn by everyone in such a dazzling fashion show setting!

"Oh my god, why are we getting these kinds of questions again?!"

"I'm going to collapse!!!"

"There is indeed one male model who looks rather delicate, but how am I supposed to remember which number he was when he appeared?"

"Never before have I realized so deeply that I really, truly, have no, brain!"

Almost everyone present was in a state of frantic panic.

Seeing everyone's pained expressions, two people silently smiled, and as they smiled, they noticed each other.

Amidst the groans, the two smiling faces were undeniably conspicuous; it was impossible not to notice each other.

Sheng Jiaoyang pushed up her glasses, her lips flattening, her expression returning to its usual blankness.

Zhuo Yiyan found it amusing; this girl's haughty little demeanor was becoming more and more like his beloved concubine, making him both lovable and exasperated.

"Jiaojiao, do you know the answers to these three questions?" Wang Wei turned and asked.

"Yes," Sheng Jiaoyang answered with considerable ease.

Wang Wei's eyes lit up, and she leaned closer, whispering, "Then tell me quietly, and I'll go tell the captain."

Sheng Jiaoyang stopped her antics and whispered the answers to the three questions.

This time, Luo Yi's team, without outside help, was suddenly stretched thin, preoccupied with one thing and forgetting another. The three questions left them completely overwhelmed.

A group of bewildered girls, relying on fragmented memories pieced together, guessed and pieced together three answers.

In contrast, Xiao Yang's team was relaxed.

Given the disastrous results of not following Sheng Jiaoyang's answers earlier, even with some doubts, Xiao Yang still chose Sheng Jiaoyang's answers this time:

green, four, six.

Luo Yi's team's answers: royal blue, five, six.

The video replay showed the fifth person wearing a green jade bead bracelet, while the androgynous female model was the fourth. Finally, the designer gave a speech, mentioning that this was his sixth show.

Xiao Yang's team got all three answers correct, while Luo Yi's team got one correct.

"Congratulations to Luo Yi's team for winning by one point," Zhuo Yiyan said with a smile, turning off the projector.

The Luo Yi team members breathed a sigh of relief, then became excited.

Xiao Yang's team was greatly disappointed. Many people resented Sheng Jiaoyang; if she had only told their own team the answer, they would have won long ago. Of course, they were even more resentful of the girl who caused Sheng Jiaoyang's behavior. Just as Wang Wei said, it's just a question, why all the complaining and nagging, making it seem like even their own team wasn't being favored?

"Teacher Zhuo, what's our reward?" Qi Hua ran to Zhuo Yiyan's side and asked.

"I'll tell you later," Zhuo Yiyan replied mysteriously.
