Looking over, Su Jiang realized she knew this person. He was the young man with Su Yanjing earlier, nad sothing like Su Lu.
Always cheerful, Su Lu was now sowhat flustered, standing in front of Su Yanjing with hands on hips, angry, "Xiao Jing, didn’t you say you’d participate in this competition and beat those guys thoroughly, but you actually ran away at the last minute."
"I didn’t run." Su Yanjing disliked the term "ran away at the last minute," which was a humiliation and denial to him.
"You didn’t run away... where were you when the match started? I was so angry, especially since I worked so hard, using all my argunts and energy, to bring you into the Iron Lion Team. I had told the captain you’d be participating..." Su Lu fud.
Su Yanjing’s eyes flickered, with a hint of mockery. He asked seriously, "What ti did you say the competition starts?"
"Well, it’s... it’s..." Su Lu stopped suddenly, showing a few traces of embarrassnt. It seed... he had inford Su Yanjing to join the match more than an hour after it had started.
Su Yanjing, with extre aloofness, glanced at Su Lu, his grand-uncle, who had a terribly high seniority but such a frustrating personality. He was already ntally prepared for such forgetful behavior.
Naturally, after his embarrassnt, Su Lu needed to change the subject, so his gaze fell on Su Jiang and then looked at the expressionless Xiao Jing. He thought he might have discovered so budding signs of a secret affair. But before he could say anything, Su Jiang was already getting up to leave.
"Wait, you can’t go." Su Lu temporarily put aside the "must-talk-about underground love affair" with Su Yanjing, intending to pursue another matter, "I heard you talk about the Iron Lion Team. Your comnts sounded quite insightful."
Su Lu’s adolescent mory was good, and he naturally recognized Su Jiang as the girl who had helped on the floating bus before. He had a good impression of her, but after unintentionally hearing her comnts, his protective nature flared up, and he was displeased.
The Iron Lion Team ant sothing unusual to Su Lu, but Su Jiang said it wasn’t good, which was quite frustrating. Moreover, all the mbers of the Iron Lion Team were students of Xilena First Affiliated School. How could their abilities be lacking?
"Alright, I was just speaking truthfully. You don’t need to thank or praise . I understand your feelings."
Su Jiang spoke with a flat tone, like a straight line, yet the more she was like this, the more uncomfortable Su Lu felt, though only to an extent. Honestly, it was normal to feel imbalanced and uncomfortable when sothing you value is belittled by others.
"You..." Su Lu was sowhat speechless, claiming he wanted to praise her. Don’t take things out of context and distort the facts.
Su Yanjing watched their interaction from the side, amused internally. He had thought Su Jiang might be a very mature woman, strong and rational. Even if she wore the skin of a sixteen-year-old girl, her heart must be very mature.
But now seeing this, it seed far from his imagination... She also had such a mischievous, teasing side. He really hadn’t expected that. Slightly tilting his head, Su Yanjing felt inspired, thinking he could create a satisfactory doll after going ho.
"Miss, it seems you have so strong opinions?" As she spoke, two won with sowhat similar appearances approached not far behind Su Lu, one with a calm deanor, the other more lively. The speaker was the latter, who had a great figure and a slightly flamboyant presence.
"Not strong opinions, just random rambling." Su Jiang glanced briefly at the Iron Lion Pattern on their forearms and understood. These two were likely mbers of the Iron Lion Team; otherwise, they wouldn’t have reacted so strongly to her comnts.
"Lanyue, don’t make trouble." The other woman spoke slowly, with a leisurely tone that gave an eerie sense of urgency, "This miss was just speaking frankly. Losing this ti isn’t disgraceful. A single failure doesn’t matter; we can regain the upper hand next ti..."
"Got it." Although the woman called Lanyue was disgruntled, since her elder sister had spoken, she had no choice but to stop. Persisting would make her seem ungracious and intolerant. She muttered, "... Losing in such a confusing manner this ti is really frustrating..."
Liu Dongyi didn’t say much, just gave Su Jiang a deep look before taking her sister away. Although they lost the match, there were many follow-up matters to handle, and the damaged cha needed repairs and modifications.
