Chapter 67: Yu Ni
“Here, here, Liao Ning!”
When Liao Ning arrived at the competition venue, she heard Yu Ni’s cry.
Yu Ni was still as enthusiastic as before. Liao Ning greeted her warmly. The two of them looked intimate, but Yu Ni gave off a faint sense of alienation.
Yu Ni had once said that she was Liao Ning’s fan, but she did not take the initiative to invite Liao Ning to join her team for this competition.
“Liao Ning, I’m really sorry but a few days ago, I already discussed forming a team with someone else, so I can’t form a team with you. It’s really a pity.” Yu Ni didn’t smile for long before her expression became dejected.
However, Liao Ning felt that it was not a big deal. Just as she was about to comfort her, Yu Ni pulled the young lady who was standing not far away over.
“Let me introduce you to my partner in this competition, Ning Xi.” Yu Ni pushed a girl with thick glasses forward, as if she was showing off.
“Hello!” Ning Xi pushed her eyeglasses up nervously as she blushed and did not dare to look at Liao Ning.
“Hello.” Liao Ning smiled and extended her hand.
As soon as she finished speaking, the food live-streamers who had arrived at the same time began to whisper, “I wonder if Yu Ni is really stupid or pretending to be stupid.”
“Ning Xi was at the bottom of the rankings in the last competition, but she still wants to team up with her.” The people were discussing quite loudly.
They did not seem to care if Liao Ning could hear them or not.
“She would rather team up with someone at the bottom of the rankings than the first on the rankings. Is she out of her mind?”
“She’s ranked first on the rankings, so how can we, lowly live-streamers, afford to invite her? Didn’t you also invite her? Did she reply to you?”
The passerby who asked the question was very aggressive, and the other person answered diffidently, “No.”
Then, one of them scolded Liao Ning, “How pretentious.”
Just as they finished speaking, a group of children suddenly ran over.
“It’s really Miss Liao. Miss Liao is back!” The little girl in the lead shouted excitedly.
The fifty or so children behind her squeezed through the crowd and apologized to the people around them as they came to Liao Ning excitedly.
“We missed you so much. We were overjoyed when we heard that you came back!”
“That’s right. We even watched your food live-stream. Your cooking was delicious. Haodong even drooled when he dreamed about it at night!”
The children kept praising her. Some of them even wanted to tell her what had happened on Planet Mu after Liao Ning left.
“Miss Liao, you don’t know this, but after you left, an old man selling meatballs came to the village entrance. The meatballs he sold were delicious.” “It was sweet and tasted the same as the one from your live-stream.”
The children spoke one after another while Liao Ning listened with a smile.
However, the others frowned and felt guilty for saying that Liao Ning was “pretentious”.
Some live-streamers covered their ears in discomfort and scolded, “What’s wrong with the competition organizer? Why did they let so many children in?
It’s so noisy.”
Ning Xi, who was pushed aside by the children, looked at Liao Ning with admiration.
She also wanted to be protected by a group of cute little friends. What a heartwarming scene.
Yu Ni frowned. Soon, she noticed that a girl’s gaze was fixed on her from the beginning to the end.
Yu Ni pulled her hair to the side in shock while trying to cover her face.
The girl had golden curly hair. When she saw Yu Ni, her lake-blue eyes sparkled as brightly as a gem.
She was the only child in the group who wore a princess dress, so she looked out of place among the surrounding children, who were dressed as hunters.
No one among the children despised her for this. They even held her hand and came to Liao Ning. “Yu Guo is here.”
Yu Guo’s sickly pale face turned red as she tugged at her clothes and looked at
Liao Ning timidly, her eyes flickering. “Hello, Miss Liao.”
“Long time no see. Yu Guo, have you been feeling better recently?” Liao Ning looked at Yu Guo as she caressed her head.
Yu Guo’s face turned even redder.. Then, she suddenly grabbed Liao Ning’s hand and said expectantly, “Are you teaming up with my mother today?”
