252: Using me as a tool again

Xu Zhiyou looked at her face and couldn't help but exclaim, “Show Ge, you really are…”

Kim Ji-soo tossed her hair, placed her thumb and index finger on her chin, and blinked her sparkling big eyes.

She raised an eyebrow at Xu Zhiyou: “Truly a peerless beautiful girl. So, seeing as a peerless beautiful girl is your teammate,”

She held up two fingers: “I won’t say three stars, I won’t ask for more, just two. With two more, I’ll reach Challenger. How about it?”

“No way!” Xu Zhiyou pushed her aside, “Don’t delay my meal.”

Seeing that she wouldn't budge, Kim Ji-soo said, “Tell me, what do you need for me to help you climb?”

Seeing her determination, Xu Zhiyou thought for a moment and said, “I can help you.”

Kim Ji-soo’s eyes lit up, and she grabbed her hand: “Tell me, as long as you help me reach Challenger, Jennie will be yours from now on.”

“Huh???”

Kim Jennie, who was propping her chin and watching the show, felt like she’d been struck by lightning, her head buzzing.

“Pfft hahahaha~” The staff burst into laughter when they saw Kim Jennie’s expression.

“Yah!” Kim Jennie snapped back to reality at the laughter, looking at Kim Ji-soo with indignant grief, “Unnie, how could you…”

“Calm down.” Kim Ji-soo pressed her right hand down, “Just help out, we’ll find a chance to get you back later.”

“Aish!” Kim Jennie was truly speechless.

“Dumpling, hold on, get mad after I finish speaking.” Xu Zhiyou interrupted Kim Jennie, who was about to explode.

Staring into Kim Ji-soo’s big eyes, she said with disdain, “Show Ge, if I’m not mistaken, this is the sixth time Dumpling Ni has been sold by you.”

Kim Ji-soo secretly glanced at Kim Jennie, her reasoning wasn't sound, but her confidence was strong as she said, “But didn’t I buy her back every time?”

“Pfft~” Kim Jennie almost coughed up blood.

“Pfft!” The follow-up PD’s hand couldn’t help but tremble a few times. This was too good for the show!

“How shameless.” Xu Zhiyou was too lazy to argue with her further, “Don’t give me this empty talk. I won’t make things difficult for you, just…”

“Aish!” Kim Jennie could no longer endure it. She grabbed a fork from the dining table, stood up, and was about to stab the two of them to death.

“Hey, hey, hey!” Park Chaeyoung, quick-witted, wrapped her arm around her waist, “Jennie-oni, be rational!”

“I can’t be rational at all! Didn’t you hear, this is the sixth time! I’m a person, not a toy. Both of them are complete bastards.”

“Pfft~” Park Chaeyoung almost couldn’t hold back her laughter, but thankfully reacted quickly and forcefully held it in.

She pursed her lips and nodded frantically: “Mm-hmm, bastards. We won’t stoop to their level.”

“Right, right, right.” Lisa also hurried forward to pull her, “Stooping to their level makes us look stupid. Calm down.”

Xu Zhiyou and Kim Ji-soo exchanged glances, and finally, Xu Zhiyou pointed to her own nose.

She said with uncertainty, “So, Show Ge, are we being cursed at by someone?”

“Mm!” Kim Ji-soo nodded.

“Eh heh! My short temper is flaring up.”

“Hey, hey, no need.” Kim Ji-soo pulled her back, “It’s not good in public. We’ll talk about it later.”

“Alright.” Xu Zhiyou sat back down, looked up at Kim Ji-soo, “You take care of Dumpling, I’ll take care of those two. No problem, right?”

“No problem!” She gave an OK gesture.

“Huh???” Park Chaeyoung and Lisa stared at each other, they seemed to be in trouble.

Park Chaeyoung weakly said, “Um… Zoe, Lisa and I are…”

Xu Zhiyou ignored her, placing a piece of spare rib in Kim Ji-soo’s bowl: “Here, eat more, otherwise you won’t have energy.”

“It’s too greasy, give me some congee.”

“Alright!” The two began to eat as if no one else was around, as if only they existed there.

“Sigh!” Lisa tugged at the stunned Park Chaeyoung, “Eat, eat your fill so you can take a beating.”

“Huh???” Park Chaeyoung looked at her with astonishment, indicating that she was really good at giving up.

“If you don’t eat, I will.” She sat down and started digging into her breakfast.

As Lisa was eating, she suddenly lightly slapped her own mouth: “Why did you say anything for no reason? What a sin!”

Park Chaeyoung, seeing how deliciously they were eating, gave her Jennie-oni a resentful look.

If only she had known, she would have let her go up and feed. Better a dead teammate than herself. Now, what a mess!

“Huh???” Kim Jennie was startled by the look.

“Yah! Chaeyoung, you… mmm mmm~”

“Eat, eat your fill so you can take a beating.” Lisa stuffed a piece of spare rib into her mouth, saying it weakly.

Kim Jennie rolled her eyes almost to the sky, but seeing them eat so deliciously, she didn't say anything more and sat down to eat.

Kim Ji-soo saw the three of them quietly eating with their heads down and felt a little unaccustomed.

She poked Xu Zhiyou and whispered, “Zoe, did the three of them really believe it?”

“Who knows? Hurry and eat, it’s getting cold.” Xu Zhiyou didn’t even lift her head, indicating that when it came to food, everything else was secondary.

“Glutton.”

“Do you still want three stars?”

“Yes, yes, yes.” She handed her phone to her, “Just give it to me tonight. One day, that should be no problem, right?”

“I say, Show Ge, can you not be so shameless?”

“I gave it to you, just help me reach Challenger.”

“Scram~” Xu Zhiyou really wanted to kick her. This girl was sometimes even more shameless than herself.

“If I must scram, I will.” She picked up her bowl, gulped down a few mouthfuls, put it on the table, and stood up to leave.

Xu Zhiyou was taken aback by her actions and grabbed her: “Where are you going?”

Kim Ji-soo pointed to the scorching sun: “I forgot to bring sunscreen. I’ll see if there’s any for sale nearby.”

“Damn it!” Xu Zhiyou’s mouth twitched.

Kim Ji-soo didn’t mind, shaking off her hand: “Eat slowly, I’ll be back in a bit.”

Not long after Kim Ji-soo left, Lisa’s eyes darted around, and she clapped her spoon: “Oh no!”

Kim Jennie was startled: “Lisa, are you crazy?!”

“Jisoo has a language barrier.” She got up and ran, “You guys eat slowly, I’m going to help her.”

“Crazy.” Park Chaeyoung rolled her eyes at her, then turned to see Xu Zhiyou quietly eating, covering her face and sighing at her miscalculation.

Kim Jennie asked confused, “Chaeyoung, what’s wrong?”

“Jennie-oni, sigh!” Park Chaeyoung pointed at Xu Zhiyou and let out a heavy sigh.

Covering her face, she slowly said, “That disloyal Lisa, she ran away without taking me. I really misjudged her.”

“Boring.” Kim Jennie rolled her eyes dramatically and continued eating.

After they had eaten their fill and were about to leave, Xu Zhiyou’s phone rang. She picked it up and saw it was Sana.

She casually pressed answer: “Yo-boseyo, Dara Unnie, did you miss me?”

“Be serious. I posted on Instagram about the collaboration song being released tonight. Share it.”

“That rushed?”

“There’s nothing else to do. The buzz and everything has already met the standards, so just release it!”

“Alright, I’ll share it in a bit.”

“OK, that’s all. Call me when you get back, I’m busy now.”
