Am I destined to be cannon fodder? Unlock the system and lead the motherland

Chapter 61: Watching Men Treat Green Tea
"That voice is so fake... I'm afraid I can only look up to it in my lifetime. It's an art I can never learn."

However, Lu Yuxuan's words caused a little ripple in Yun Ximo's heart.

"Wait, Ji Zhao? This name sounds a bit off. Isn't his name Xie Jing?"

Yun Ximo was confused, and the Luoluo system couldn't help but "live in Bengbu" and added: "Ahem, it's like this, Xie Jing's original name was Xie Jizhao, and later he was parachuted into Dongcheng. For convenience, he changed his name to Xie Jing."

"Oh~ I see, it's just a name variation." Yun Ximo said "Oh" softly and continued to enjoy her food.

There was a hint of coquettishness in the girl's words, but after she finished her coquettishness.

Seeing that Xie Jizhao still didn't respond, Lu Yuxuan couldn't help but lose the smile on her face, but soon replaced it with a sweeter smile, but still maintained a coquettish attitude. The emotional fluctuation just now was just an illusion.

She bit her lower lip lightly, as if she had suffered a great injustice: "Brother Ji Zhao, are you busy? Even if you are busy, remember to rest. Xuanxuan will always wait for you."

Yun Ximo silently rolled her eyes in her heart.

If it were a different situation, she would definitely applaud without hesitation.

Lu Yuxuan's acting skills are truly amazing. If she were to enter the entertainment industry, even those veteran movie queens would be ashamed of themselves. Winning major awards would be a piece of cake for her.

She secretly glanced at Xie Jizhao and saw that his face was as calm as water. He didn't seem to buy into Lu Yuxuan's affectation. This made Yun Ximo secretly admire Xie Jizhao's calmness and determination.

Xie Jizhao frowned slightly, with a hint of impatience in his expression, and his voice was cold and distant.

"Lu Yuxuan," he said slowly, each word leaving no room for argument, "I'm very busy, and my time isn't meant to be wasted. You're free to send me messages, and that's your right. But whether you reply or not is entirely up to me. It's my choice, and it's my right."

When Lu Yuxuan heard this, she froze in place, the smile on her face froze instantly, and a hint of disbelief flashed in her eyes. She probably never thought that the gentle offensive she always used would be so ineffective and powerless on Xie Jizhao.

"It's so cool!" Yun Ximo looked at him with a smile on her face.

I feel really happy to have a man who can handle a "green tea girl".

Lu Yuxuan had never expected that Xie Jizhao would reject her so frankly and mercilessly.

The atmosphere instantly changed from a tropical rainforest to an Arctic glacier. It was so awkward that popsicles could be frozen out. It was so cold that even the air-conditioning bill was saved.

Yun Ximo tried hard to hold back her laughter. Although she looked calm on the outside, her heart was already filled with the roar of gongs and drums and the blast of firecrackers. All kinds of laughter, from the slight "puff" of air leakage to the unbridled "hahahahaha", were playing in her mind on a loop, almost bursting through her throat and resounding through the sky.

But in the blink of an eye, her eyes flashed, and Lu Yuxuan realized that Yun Ximo was there too. The smile on her face froze instantly, melting faster than ice cream!

"Yun Ximo? You? Why are you here?" The tone was three parts of surprise and seven parts of dissatisfaction, as if Yun Ximo was a thief who sneaked into her house.

She walked straight to Yun Ximo, stood still, and looked at her subjects like a queen. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, and her tone was clearly questioning.

Yun Ximo raised her eyelids slightly, as if looking at a white cloud passing by, as indifferent as could be.

Then, she slowly picked up a crystal clear shrimp ball, put it into her mouth, and savored it carefully.

This is great. The girl felt very aggrieved. Her anger burned even more vigorously in the face of Yun Ximo's indifference. She simply couldn't believe that Yun Ximo dared to ignore her? You are so rebellious!

She sneered, her words full of sarcasm, "Are you interested in my brother Ji Zhao? Do you want to pester my brother Ji Zhao?"

"Don't dream. Brother Ji Zhao has high standards. He wouldn't even look at a country bumpkin like you who has no manners! You'd better give up this idea as soon as possible."

After she finished speaking, her tone became increasingly sharp and exciting, as if she could stimulate Yun Ximo as long as she kept talking.

She even made a gesture to chase them away: "So, if you're smart, pack your bags and leave immediately. Go back to where you came from, so as not to pollute the air here!"

As he spoke, he pointed at the door of the box, as if he was going to kick Yun Ximo out.

-

-

Where was Yun Ximo? She acted as if nothing had happened, oblivious to her anger and insults, continuing to devour her delicious food, her chopsticks darting across the plate.

Well, look, there is a shrimp paste left on the plate, and it is looking at her with innocent eyes.

"Take me away, don't leave me lying here alone."

You have to finish eating. If you waste food, God will send the God of Thunder and the Goddess of Lightning to knock on your door. It’s exciting just thinking about it!

Yun Ximo's calm and composed look was the loudest slap in the face to Lu Yuxuan, silent but loud!

Seeing that Yun Ximo remained calm and unmoved, Lu Yuxuan's anger grew like a raging fire fanned by a strong wind, becoming increasingly difficult to contain.

She clasped her arms tightly against her chest, her chest heaving slightly with anger.

"Yun Ximo, you rented your ears. Did you forget to renew them when they expired? I'm talking to you like you're playing the lute to a cow. Why don't you give me a reaction? Or are your ears just for decoration? I told you to leave here immediately. Do you understand? You're such a thoughtful woman.

After saying this, Lu Yuxuan glared at Yun Ximo. "Also, the way you eat is like you haven't eaten in hundreds of years. Even a starving ghost needs to know a limit, right? I command you to disappear from my sight immediately! Do you understand?"
Lu Yuxuan's dislike for Yun Ximo was so inexplicable that it made people wonder if she had snatched candied haws from Yun Ximo in her previous life.

In her eyes, Yun Ximo was a "vicious female supporting character," her very existence a sin, not to mention the fact that she was returning to the Yun family. This was like pouring chilli powder on the pure and innocent Sister Yimeng's heart, forcing her to leave her homeland and move to a foreign land. As for Sister Yimeng, not only did she not blame Yun Ximo in the slightest, but she took all the blame on herself and generously blessed Yun Ximo and Shi Heshen. She felt that she was superfluous and took the initiative to withdraw.

Lu Yuxuan was originally in class at school when she suddenly received a message from her brother, telling her that Yun Ximo was currently at the Victoria Bar and that they and their brothers were planning to teach Yun Ximo a lesson.

Originally, she planned to wait until after school, and if her brother was still in the bar, she would go over and join in the fun.

However, when she learned that Xie Jizhao was also in the Victoria Bar, she immediately asked for leave from her teacher, hurried home to change into her JK uniform, and went straight to the bar, forgetting her original intention of watching her brother teach Yun Ximo a lesson.

After all, Yun Ximo was insignificant in her heart, so why bother about her?
She asked around and found the box where Xie Jizhao was.

However, when she entered the box, she unexpectedly saw the person she least wanted to see - Yun Ximo.

She wondered, shouldn't Yun Ximo be in her brother's box right now? Why was she here? She immediately understood: that little bitch, Yun Ximo, must have changed her target.

When she knew that Shi Heshen had returned to Sister Yimeng, she felt that she had no chance, so she turned to pester Brother Ji Zhao.

Yun Ximo calmly and slowly put down the chopsticks in her hand with just the right amount of force. Her manners and composure were expressed silently in the subtle movement.

She raised her eyes calmly, her clear eyes moving slightly, and her voice was as light as the morning mist: "People are having a meal, and you rashly interrupted them. It is not only disrespectful to others, but also a reflection of your own low quality."

"Did your etiquette teacher take a day off, or is the word 'politeness' on hiatus in your vocabulary? Or is your academics so easy that you can only find faults to pass the time and play 'much ado about nothing'?"

When Lu Yuxuan heard this, her expression instantly changed from rainbow candy to bronze tripod, as if she had been suddenly poured with a bucket of ice water with chili oil. Anger swirled in her eyes, almost sparking.

She clasped her hands tightly against her chest, leaning forward slightly, using a condescending attitude to try to overwhelm the other person with her aura. "You're just a bumpkin from the countryside, not even worthy of carrying my shoes, and you think you're worthy of talking to me about being polite? I'm telling you, with your background, you don't deserve my respect at all. Respect me, or don't blame me for being rude!"

Yun Ximo blinked, and hidden in her smile was the calmness of "I won't argue with you".

"Background is like the model of your phone. New and old models each have their merits, but what truly remains memorable is a soul that knows how to respect others. You may have 'luxury equipment' in your hands, but I'm sorry, for me, all of it combined is not as shining as a heart that knows how to respect others."

As soon as Yun Ximo finished speaking, she stared at Lu Yuxuan who was still wanting to chatter, with a look of "Are you annoying?" written all over her face.

"Miss Lu, since I am just a bumpkin in your noble eyes, why do you, a noble little swan, insist on getting close to an ugly duckling like me? Are you afraid that I am not rustic enough and want to add some to my charm?"

Yun Ximo had a teasing smile on her face, and her expression clearly gave a hint.

"You don't mind being tired, but I mind the calluses on my ears!"

Lu Yuxuan was almost choked to death, like a nightingale who was about to sing a song but was suddenly stuffed with cotton in her mouth.

Then, Yun Ximo changed the subject, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone, and glanced at Xie Jing nonchalantly.

"Also, if I remember the astronomical calendar correctly, this should still be prime time for classes, right? Is the Qingteng High School bell broken again? It's not even time to get out of school yet, and you can't wait to sneak out of the classroom? Are you in a hurry to go to the bar to inspect your 'boyfriend'? Is he up to standard?"

Xie Jing looked at Lu Yuxuan with an indifferent expression and denied it bluntly: "I don't have a girlfriend. Such a species has not yet entered my world."

Hearing Xie Jing's direct and decisive words, Lu Yuxuan's face instantly turned ashen, and she felt so aggrieved that water could be squeezed out of her.

Her voice was soft with a hint of tears, and she said to someone in a coquettish voice: "Brother Ji Zhao, our two families will get married sooner or later. You treat me like this, aren't you afraid of our family's..."

-

-

Lu Yuxuan's words made Xie Jing pause slightly, and his tone was mixed with a hint of sarcasm...

"I'm not the one who wants to marry you. At seventeen or eighteen, you should be focusing on your studies and doing more exercises instead of dwelling on trivial matters like marriage. Could it be that the Lu family is worried that their daughter's value will depreciate if she stays in their hands for a while longer?"

Lu Yuxuan's face flushed crimson. She angrily vented all her dissatisfaction and resentment on Yun Ximo, her finger almost poking Yun Ximo's nose. Her voice was sharp and harsh: "What good are you? You are so young, uneducated, and so lowly that you have to be someone else's substitute!"

"A substitute? Where did you get that from? Who said I was going to be someone else's substitute? Shi Heshen is already my fiancé, why would I need to be a substitute for Yun Yimeng?"

Yun Ximo shook her delicate head slightly.

"Hey, your politeness index is barely enough to give a kindergarten kid a passing grade."

"Also, I have to give you a friendly reminder. I've noticed you have a very bad habit of pointing your finger at others. You and your brother are exactly the same. Your Lu family's upbringing is like a fish that slipped through the net, and they just missed the big fish of 'manners'."

"Comparatively, I, whom you call a 'bumpkin', at least know that pointing at others is uncultured, but you obviously haven't learned that yet."

At this point, Yun Ximo's tone unconsciously drifted into a few traces of contempt. Although it was gentle, it carried a chill that could not be ignored.

"It seems that the Lu family still has a few more detours and lessons to learn on the road to 'politeness'."

Yun Ximo's action, as if she had suddenly opened up her Ren and Du meridians, made Lu Yuxuan look incredulous. Her eyes, which usually seemed so arrogant that they could look down on the entire zoo, were now wide open with anger, almost ready to launch an angry fireball?
Lu Yuxuan was completely furious, and her voice instantly rose: "You... you actually dared..." She didn't finish her words, but abruptly braked, but the anger of "you have eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's courage" materialized and burst out, and she almost had a flower of angry fire growing on her head, showing that her anger value had exceeded the limit.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm just a little bold, so what? What does it have to do with you? Don't you always say I'm a country bumpkin with no sense? Today I'm going to put on a 'country bumpkin's comeback' show for you. Even a country bumpkin can be so offensive that you doubt your life, without even using a single curse word."

And there's more. Before she finished, she tilted her head slightly, like a little fox gliding out of a cartoon, and said with a smile, "I'm so timid, even thinner than an embroidery needle. My first reaction when I see a mouse? I'll definitely take a detour and give it the 'rat-free' avoidance gesture."
