183: Crying caused by ranking

After Park Chaeyoung finished speaking, she continued to study the song. Kim Jennie wasn't hungry either; after getting Xu Zhiyou a glass of water, she went to look at her song too.

Xu Zhiyou, on the other hand, munched loudly and after eating and drinking her fill, she wanted to play games, not forgetting to remind the two of them: "If you have any problems, remember to come find me."

"Arraso, we know our limits, don't worry." Park Chaeyoung pushed her out.

She had only listened roughly before and hadn't had time to look closely. Now she was immersed in the song, unable to extricate herself, not even bothering to eat.

"OK!" Xu Zhiyou was happy to have some free time. "Two down, perfect." She returned to her room to play games, and when she was tired, she went to sleep.

She accidentally slept until evening. Looking at the pitch-black sky, she scratched her messy hair: "This is the life I want. So good!"

She flipped over and got out of bed: "Time to forage! Let's go."

She walked to Kim Jennie's door and saw the two of them still looking at the song, which was ridiculous. She knocked on the door: "Hey, hey! What are you doing?"

Kim Jennie saw it was her and pulled her into the room: "Come, come, come! I think it's almost done. I'll sing it for you to listen, and you help me check it."

"My goodness! I was going to forage, and you're dragging me in for unpaid labor."

"Oh, come on! Don't mind these small things. Later, I'll personally cook for you."

"Stop right there. I'm helping you write a song, and you're trying to harm me. What are your intentions?"

"Yah!"

She raised her hand and started kneading her Dumpling face: "When you get angry, I just want to pinch you."

After kneading a few times, without waiting for her to get angry, she sat directly on the chair: "Come on! Show me."

Kim Jennie felt so annoyed. This feeling of having anger but nowhere to vent it was truly uncomfortable.

"What are you doing? Hurry up. I still need to forage after this."

Kim Jennie glared at her fiercely, but her mouth was very honest: "Starting now!" She picked up the microphone and began to sing.

"When the dark of the night comes around…"

Xu Zhiyou couldn't help but marvel, YG's ACE truly had skills. How could she have mastered the song to this extent in just a few hours?

Park Chaeyoung also admired this second sister a bit. Although she was a bit too fond of acting cute normally, when she sang, she completely transformed into a different person.

After singing, she looked at Xu Zhiyou with anticipation: "How was it?"

"Not bad! But…"

Kim Jennie's heart sank. She dreaded that 'but,' because the real point came after the transition.

Xu Zhiyou saw her dejected look and kicked her butt: "Don't make that deadpan face. What can I do to you?"

"Be gentle with your words." She pouted cutely, "After all, if you criticize me too much, I'll feel inferior."

"Yah! Take that back, stop making that deadpan face."

"Oh!"

"There's no problem with the control of intensity and rhythm, but the emotion is still a bit lacking. The theme of this song is freedom; you need to express that."

Kim Jennie's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she suddenly looked up at her: "Is that all?"

If it was just these things, she would only act this way in front of Xu Zhiyou. No other reason, she was just traumatized by the constant criticism.

"That's all. Dance music isn't that hard."

"Huh?" Kim Jennie pouted, "That last sentence was unnecessary. I'm done with mine; you help Chaeyoung look."

"Aniyo! I haven't fully grasped it yet. I'll talk about it after I've thoroughly studied it." Controlling the emotions in R&B style songs is the hardest.

One wrong move and it could flop. Park Chaeyoung felt like she hadn't found the essence of the song yet.

"OK!" She clapped her hands, "Dumpling Ni, you think about the choreography yourself. I'm going to forage."

"Bring us both a portion. We haven't eaten all day." Kim Jennie felt completely at ease after finishing her song.

…

By the time Kim Ji-soo and Lisa returned, it was already eleven at night. Seeing Xu Zhiyou playing games, Kim Ji-soo leaned over to watch.

"Yah! Why are you playing ranked again? I told you to wait for me, you..."

"Show Ge, you dropped from Star Tier to Diamond. I'm Grandmaster. What ranked games would I play with you? Don't be silly!"

"Then help me climb up."

"Your limit is Star Tier. Don't meddle in Grandmaster games, lest your Dao Heart becomes unbalanced."

"Yah! Are you looking down on me?"

"Aigoo! Is it that obvious? I thought you wouldn't notice. Our Show Ge is so smart."

"Pfft hahahaha~~"

Park Chaeyoung looked at her eldest sister, whose face was red with anger, and almost choked with laughter. When it came to being sarcastic, Xu Zhiyou was truly in a league of her own.

Kim Jennie and Lisa were pretty much the same. Their eldest sister, a gaming fanatic who would play games even with panda eyes, such words truly stung her heart.

"Aish! Zoe, you..."

"Don't make noise, I'm about to win. Talk after I win."

Hearing that she was about to win, Kim Ji-soo leaned her head over: "Let me see your equipment and gold."

She just happened to see her get a triple kill: "Chase! Hurry up, those two are close. Get a penta kill to make me envious."

"Penta kill my foot, if I push any further, I'll be at the enemy's fountain, can't go."

"Don't be a coward! It's a guaranteed win anyway, you should be more aggressive."

"Can't be aggressive, that's the fountain, are you serious?"

Xu Zhiyou admired Kim Ji-soo's reckless abandon when playing games. She only cared about having fun herself, completely disregarding the fate of her teammates.

"Aish!" She slapped Xu Zhiyou's shoulder, making her phone drop. "You just missed a penta kill like that, do you even know how to play?"

"Uh! You, a Diamond player, are teaching me, a Grandmaster, how to play? Show Ge, are you serious?"

"Don't mind these details. On a tactical level, I still dominate you. Yes, just like that."

Park Chaeyoung and the other two felt speechless. To make a support player give up on her existence and discuss tactics there was truly bizarre.

Kim Ji-soo also felt she might be getting a bit carried away and tried to make up for it: "I'm just a bit clumsy with my hands, but I'm very good at commanding."

"Heh heh!" Xu Zhiyou gave her a contemptuous look, controlled her hero, and quickly ended the battle.

"Grandmaster 25 stars, promoted to Unrivaled Grandmaster." Xu Zhiyou showed off her phone in front of Kim Ji-soo. "Sigh! Still a long way from Legendary Grandmaster, truly a long and arduous journey."

Kim Ji-soo's eyes turned green looking at her rank. Ever since the game 'King' came out, she had only reached Grandmaster once.

Xu Zhiyou had helped her get there, and after that, she didn't dare to touch ranked games for a whole season, occasionally posting on her social media. She was so smug back then.

Thinking of these things, she grabbed Xu Zhiyou's clothes corner and said coyly: "Zoe! Help me get to Grandmaster!"

"Tsk, no deal! Last time I almost got screwed over by you, don't even think about messing with me again."

"I promise, once I reach Grandmaster, I will never touch ranked again, Zoe! Can you bear to see me die of depression? I rarely ask you for anything, please help me just this once."

"Get out!" Xu Zhiyou refused without mercy.

"Wuwuwu! No love left, truly." With her superb acting skills, she forced out tears.

She cried: "You won't even help with a rank, wuwuwu~"
