Chapter Fourteen: The Chaos of Battle

Inside the cat den, a dozen or so pampered cats of various temperaments were deeply displeased by Zhou Su’s sudden intrusion into their territory.

After a brief test of wills, a fierce battle erupted between them...

By the time someone found Zhou Su, he had been unconscious and covered in blood and wounds for a full day and night.

Following this, Zhou Su’s mother completely lost faith in his father and, after he recuperated for a while, took Zhou Su away from that city.

Cats had since become an unspeakable nightmare in Zhou Su’s heart.

Thinking of this, Yu Zhi suddenly felt a pang of guilt and cleared her throat. “Grandpa Qing, he’s no good. Can I handle this on my own?”

Zhou Su felt Grandpa Qing’s unusual gaze upon him, and his ears flushed red.

What nonsense was Yu Zhi spouting!

[Spread the word! Zhou Su was kicked out by Yu Zhi because he was useless.]

[Spread the word: Zhou Su’s performance lasts three seconds a night, and Yu Zhi dislikes him—]

“Well, if he’s no good, then no need to force it. Young man, help the elder clean up the yard!”

Yu Zhi lightly kicked Zhou Su. “What are you standing there for?”

Zhou Su rubbed his nose tip and pursed his lips, choosing not to get involved in the debate over whether he was capable or not.

Yu Zhi had once played a veterinarian in a drama, often interacting with cats and other small animals on set.

Though Grandpa Qing’s cats were difficult to handle, after some effort, Yu Zhi and Zhou Su managed to accumulate some points.

Moreover, Grandpa Qing gave them a piece of advice that helped Yu Zhi understand the principle of scoring points through ambiguous behavior.

This technique was later confirmed when Yu Zhi encountered Xia Shuang.

“Yu Zhi, are you crazy?” Xia Shuang abruptly pulled Yu Zhi’s hand away from her waist and hid behind Shen Jiayu.

Shen Jiayu twirled his fingers hesitantly. “Yu Zhi, do you... have some special mission?”

[Shen Jiayu, I’m dying laughing—you even found an excuse for Yu Zhi…]

[Not just him, I was shocked too.]

[Big Sister Zhi’s understanding of ambiguity: finding someone to cling to (regardless of gender), hahahahaha.]

Yu Zhi learned from Grandpa Qing that points could be gained through ambiguous acts between people, or by provoking such acts to steal points.

Only then did she understand why her and Zhou Su’s points disappeared—they had unintentionally engaged in ambiguous behavior due to someone’s interference.

So, she was eager to test it out with someone.

After searching around, she only found Shen Jiayu and Xia Shuang.

Both were rather unlucky, so Yu Zhi chose to target Xia Shuang.

Before Zhou Su could react, Yu Zhi took a long stride, reached out, and pulled Xia Shuang straight into her embrace.

Wearing eight-centimeter heels, Yu Zhi stood about 1.8 meters tall.

Ignoring the anger and panic in Xia Shuang’s eyes, her pale face, wide eyes, and curled-up posture in Yu Zhi’s arms looked utterly adorable.

She had been too scared to trouble Yu Zhi all day, fearing Yu Zhi would “label” her.

In today’s market, such labels were tantamount to ruining one’s future.

Unexpectedly, Yu Zhi came to her on a silver platter.

“Xia Shuang, why are you so flustered?” Fans adored Yu Zhi’s slightly husky, irresistibly alluring voice.

Watching Yu Zhi “fish” for men was a major highlight for them—now she was fishing for a woman?

“Yu Zhi! What exactly are you trying to do? Do you even respect Teacher Zhou?”

Zhou Su silently raised his hands in surrender behind her. “Teacher Xia, don’t involve me! Teacher Yu’s in charge; I have no say.”

[Hahaha, Zhou Su’s self-awareness is terrifyingly accurate.]

[Xia Shuang is about to freak out! I noticed Yu Zhi chose her over Shen Jiayu before making a move. What made Yu Zhi pick Xia Shuang without hesitation?]

After a while, Yu Zhi heard no announcement of their points being deducted and looked at Zhou Su with a puzzled expression.

Zhou Su understood her look, pointed incredulously at himself, then, seeing her firm nod, twitched his mouth twice, closed his eyes tightly, and resolutely approached Shen Jiayu.

His inner monologue: Don’t be afraid, brother. For Yu Jie, I’ll make a little sacrifice.

Xia Shuang, displeased that Yu Zhi ignored her, loudly asked, “What are you two hiding?”

Yu Zhi’s eyes followed Zhou Su, and she casually stroked Xia Shuang’s head.

“Be good. Adult matters—children shouldn’t meddle!”

Xia Shuang: …

[Adult matters my foot! Yu Zhi’s way of coaxing is too perfunctory!]

[You got the wrong point, Xia Shuang isn’t a child…]

[You’re missing the point too! The real issue is Yu Zhi ordered Zhou Su to seduce Shen Jiayu, and he’s obediently complying!!!]

[You guys are a bunch of immortals…]

Xia Shuang swatted Yu Zhi’s hand away, frowned, and watched Zhou Su’s actions.

Then…

She was utterly speechless!

Zhou Su gazed at Shen Jiayu tenderly, adopting the exact posture Yu Zhi used with her, and slowly said, “Our love is stronger than gold…”

The cameraman, skilled at capturing moments, adjusted the angle for a clever forced-perspective kiss.

Shen Jiayu, clearly annoyed, pushed Zhou Su away forcefully. “Zhou Su, if Yu Zhi’s crazy, why are you going insane too?”

Zhou Su initially played along for fun, teasing Shen Jiayu on Yu Zhi’s orders. But Shen Jiayu’s words genuinely upset him.

Steadying himself, he lightly touched his lips with a finger and smiled faintly. “Shen Jiayu, since you can’t talk, sew your mouth shut with a thread. That way, everyone can still see your face and compliment how handsome you are.”

Yu Zhi was speechless and sighed. The production team was giving them no mercy at all. Was this really disliked?

She gave Zhou Su a meaningful glance. He immediately pulled Shen Jiayu close to Xia Shuang and coldly commanded, “Kiss her—”

[Loyal bodyguard Zhou Su faithfully carrying out Yu Zhi’s orders, making me jealous.]

[Someone tell me, is this how you treat an ex-girlfriend?]

[Under Zhou Su’s contrast, Shen Jiayu looks delicate.]

[Having a singer shut her mouth—well done, Zhou Su.]

Yu Zhi covered her face, meeting four pairs of eyes that looked at her like she was crazy, and decisively declared, “Let’s begin!”

The brave enjoy the world first—that was Jiang Weicheng’s golden rule.

While they hesitated, a new broadcast announcement sounded.

—Shi Hailing and Bai Fuyuan’s team lost 30 points.

The four looked equally stunned, exchanged glances, and then Xia Shuang asked, “Why haven’t Hailing’s team’s points reset? Didn’t yours just reset?”

Yu Zhi didn’t want to answer this painful question. Was she really supposed to coldly and rationally tell Xia Shuang that her own points reset because they only had three points?

But what ambiguous act had Shi Hailing and Bai Fuyuan done to lose so many points at once?

It piqued her curiosity—had they kissed?

Not surprisingly, fans who had been watching Yu Zhi’s every move flocked to Shi Hailing’s team’s livestream to seek answers.

Shi Hailing blinked and pointed vaguely at the broadcast, “So we wasted the whole afternoon?”

Bai Fuyuan, seeing she wasn’t hung up on the earlier hug, cheerfully changed the subject. “Maybe. Should we find a place to rest now?”
