119: Absgate

After reciting, she glanced at the bullet comments, which were all telling her to look at the comments and not just focus on reciting the script. She turned her head and pretended to be angry.

"You guys, last time you said I wasn't serious, this time I worked hard and memorized for an hour, and this is the result? It's clear there's no love left."

She then went on a long, babbling complaint, which basically summed up to her never memorizing again. Behind her, Kim Ji-soo and the others almost choked with laughter.

Xu Wen looked at Xu Zhiyou's deadpan expression, her clever brain entirely focused on how to be lazy. She turned off her phone and tossed it aside.

Watching any longer would give her a brain aneurysm.

Kim Jennie watched her little mouth babbling and handed her a bottle of water, trying to interrupt her. She was a complete master of verbose literature.

"Thirsty, aren't you? Here, have some water to moisten your throat!"

Xu Zhiyou took it, twisted open the cap, and started chugging. After drinking, she turned to the camera and said, "This is my little sister. Give her some face and don't bash her."

"I want to say something to those who slander her." She cupped Kim Jennie's chin, revealing her cute Dumpling face.

Kim Jennie didn't understand why Xu Zhiyou was pulling her cheeks again. She just looked at Xu Zhiyou with a blank, adorable expression. Xu Zhiyou really wanted to peck her, she was too cute.

But she held back, turned Kim Jennie's face towards the camera, and said, "Look, how can you even type on that keyboard against such a cute girl?"

"Also, look at my little sister's appearance; does she look like someone with a scheming mind? Those who say she looks fierce, you're probably blind..."

In SEVENTEEN's practice room, Jun nudged The8 and said, "Is she from your neck of the woods? That strong Northeastern accent."

The8 was also laughing uncontrollably and casually said, "People from BJ are also considered fellow townsfolk, but her mouth is indeed very talkative."

"Hahaha! Is this considered the ceiling for 'E' types? She's too funny!" Jun had indeed never seen an idol who could talk so much.

As for whether it was an act or not, they could generally tell at a glance. Xu Zhiyou was purely a social butterfly, not at all like she was faking it.

The comment section was also seeing Kim Jennie in this light for the first time.

"Who should I envy? My hands are itching to touch her, what should I do?"

"Another day of envying Zoe. No wonder Zoe calls her Dumpling Ni. I could eat a basket of these Dumpling in one go, wahahaha!"

"This must be true love! Fiercely protecting his wife, tsk tsk tsk ~"

"Actually, it would be better if that Northeastern accent was toned down a bit. I find it a bit distracting, but it's still so good to ship!"

"Oh my god, I'm definitely a sucker for good looks. I used to have some issues with Na-yeon, but seeing her expression, I can't feel negative anymore, what should I do?"

"Why be negative? Their relationship is so good. Why do they have to fight over positioning? The main couple is madly in love, and the fans are tearing each other apart. What's the point!"

"Wrong channel, this is supposed to be a clarification live stream, isn't it? Aren't your priorities a bit off?"

"The person upstairs is no good, lacking the most basic analytical and reasoning skills. What's with leaving the group or not leaving the group? What's more interesting than watching cute girls!"

...

Although Kim Jennie didn't understand the last Chinese sentence, she could still understand the bullet comments. The emotional Kim Jennie immediately pounced into Xu Zhiyou's arms.

She just hugged her, burying her head tightly. Recently, many haters had been calling her a schemer, saying she was using Xu Zhiyou's popular EP for hype.

Xu Zhiyou was quite angry when she saw that. Other things were fine, but calling this little crybaby a schemer was indeed a bit much.

Lim Nayeon looked at Kim Jennie's appearance, "Tsk tsk! So good to ship, oh no, it's too sweet, hahaha ~"

Chou Tzuyu found it amusing to watch Lim Nayeon giggling foolishly, but she also loved shipping couples. Kim Dahyun also bit her finger, smiling with an 'auntie' expression.

Online comments were also busy shipping couples. The clarification live stream had gone off track to who knows where, and Leah Unnie here also felt speechless.

"Becky, if Zoe had put more of her brain into her work, she might be incredibly popular by now, sigh ~"

Others might not know, but Leah Unnie, an old hand, saw clearly that Xu Zhiyou's nonsensical behavior.

It was entirely to prove to fans that she had no reason to leave the group. These days, nobody takes clarifications seriously; it's more practical to put on a show.

"Leah Unnie, being carefree and taking things as they come are her labels. If she changed, would she still be her?"

Becky also saw things quite clearly. Xu Zhiyou's only flaw might be that she was a bit reckless; in other aspects, there was nothing to fault.

Leah Unnie thought for a moment and sighed, "That's true!"

Xu Zhiyou has a kind of magic; people who like her truly like her, and people who dislike her intensely dislike her, a complete polarization.

Xu Zhiyou was reading the bullet comments and answering as she went.

"What's my relationship with your Na-yeon?" She straightened Kim Jennie's small face. Kim Jennie asked, confused, "What's wrong?"

"A reward for you!" She pecked her cheek, "My wife, it's pretty obvious, isn't it!"

Kim Jennie's brain instantly crashed. She kissed her in front of so many people. She buried her head in Xu Zhiyou's arms.

The bullet comments immediately exploded.

"Holy crap! Shut up, you actually let her kiss you so grandly. Why didn't you kiss her on the mouth? What's the point of kissing her cheek! I can pay for it."

"Upstairs, I thought you were a gentleman, but it turns out you're a kindred spirit, a true friend!"

"Those gentlemen upstairs, please be serious. I'm afraid if you keep talking like this, the live stream might even get banned just from these comments."

Kim Jennie secretly glanced at the bullet comments, and her face instantly turned bright red. She directly burrowed her head into Xu Zhiyou's clothes.

This exposed Xu Zhiyou's abs to the camera, making the bullet comments even more lively.

"Jennie, it really has to be your own people, boo hoo! Even as a man, I'm ashamed to see these abs!"

"It's truly rare for a girl to develop abs, but Jennie, you should lift your shirt up a bit more. Not being able to clearly see how many packs there are is frustrating!"

"Hahaha, Jennie is overheating. Look at her neck, it's all red, just like a cooked crab, so funny."

"Now Dumpling has really turned into a steamed bun. Zoe, quickly cool the child down, she's almost steamed through."

"I still want to see those abs, my favorite. Wahahaha!"

"Seulgi also has abs. Is this a standard for ACEs? I saw Seulgi also has them. They have to be good at their work and also have good figures. You really can't help but admire them."

...

Kim Ji-soo saw these comments, reached out, pulled Kim Jennie out, and directly threw her into Park Chaeyoung's arms, then covered Xu Zhiyou's clothes.

This action was interpreted differently by the fans.

"'Dabo J' crashed? Jennie, you're really daring, flirting with someone else in front of your current husband. Now you've been disciplined, haven't you!"

"Am I the only one who thinks Kim Ji-soo is really jealous? Wahahaha ~"

"Of course she's jealous! That's Kim Ji-soo's wife, just like that, she was sweetly taken away by Zoe. She must be sad!"

...

Park Chaeyoung and Lisa exchanged glances, feeling speechless. These fans just love to stir up trouble, especially with their eldest sister, who is a complete tomboy.
