Lin Jing: "..."
This was Sheng Kuang's Weibo, and she wasn't anyone to Sheng Kuang. Even if Sheng Kuang agreed, it didn't seem quite right for her to use his Weibo to block someone without authorization.
Lin Jing stared at Sheng Kuang's phone, hesitating.
But after a few seconds of hesitation, she couldn't help herself. She put down her own phone and her finger landed on Sheng Kuang's phone screen.
She didn't take the phone over. Keeping the phone in Sheng Kuang's hand, she tapped a few times on the screen, found the fan of Yang Sinian, and very proficiently sent that account to permanent banishment.
After blocking, Lin Jing quickly retracted her finger.
Sheng Kuang lowered his eyelids and stared at the screen she had tapped for two seconds. His gaze shifted up and landed on her face, "Finished?"
Lin Jing nodded, "Mm."
Sheng Kuang said nothing, holding the phone, he retracted his arm.
Chen Jing was in the middle of an animated conversation, and everyone else's attention was on him. No one noticed the little interlude on their side.
Yang Sinian's fan account had already been blocked by her, and his replies in the comment section had also disappeared. Lin Jing, who had been halfway through typing a message, no longer saw the need to send it. She pressed the screen and deleted it word by word. As she deleted, she suddenly stopped, her brain froze for two seconds, and she slowly turned her head to look at the person beside her.
Sheng Kuang noticed her gaze and also turned his head, "Hm?"
Lin Jing looked at the pale, almost cold-tinged skin behind Sheng Kuang's ear. She swallowed and her voice became even softer, "You saw."
Chen Jing happened to exclaim loudly, his voice drowning out Lin Jing's.
Sheng Kuang didn't hear clearly and tilted his head towards her, "Hm?"
Lin Jing looked at Sheng Kuang's ear, swallowed, and her voice became even softer, "Did you see what I was typing just now?"
Sheng Kuang heard clearly this time, "Mm."
Lin Jing seriously considered what she had just typed and was slightly relieved to confirm there were no inappropriate words.
Sheng Kuang glanced at Lin Jing, "I heard it too."
Lin Jing looked up, "Ah?"
Sheng Kuang, "I heard you curse."
Lin Jing blinked. The first thought that popped into her mind was "When did I curse?", then she remembered the involuntary "Fuck" that had escaped her lips.
Lin Jing's expression froze.
It was over. All her online arguments hadn't ruined her image, but the swear word she uttered before cursing had completely destroyed it.
Lin Jing felt like she was slowly cracking.
She thought for a few seconds and desperately tried, "You heard wrong."
Sheng Kuang slowly sat up straight, "Did I?"
Lin Jing swallowed and was about to seriously say, "Yes, you really heard wrong."
Before the words even left her mouth, Sheng Kuang said, "Mm," and added, "Alright then, I heard wrong."
Lin Jing: "..."
Just as Lin Jing was racking her brains trying to figure out how to respond to Sheng Kuang's statement, Chen Jing suddenly turned around, "We don't need to vote for the team captain, right? It's you?"
"We still need to vote," Sheng Kuang turned off his phone screen, "Otherwise, it'll make me look like a team bully."
Lan Bowen: "Are you sure about voting?"
Sheng Kuang: "Vote."
Lan Bowen: "Alright then. Although it feels like voting is pointless, since that's the case, let's vote. Jiang Xin, go get some blank paper and pens. We'll have a vote, and the one with the most votes will be the captain."
"Got it." Jiang Xin responded, stood up, and went to get the paper and pen.
Not long after, he returned, placing the paper and pen on a clean section of the western restaurant's kitchen counter. "Come write it yourselves. After you write it, just drop it..." Jiang Xin looked around, picked up an empty copper vase, and said, "Drop it in this vase." Su Dan Novel Network
Jiang Xin cast his own vote first, then put down the pen and called for others to vote.
He Wang was the first to jump up and write.
Jiang Zui let go of the chicken wing in his mouth, swallowed it whole, and said, "He Wang, help me write it. Just write..."
Before Jiang Zui could finish speaking, Li Xiaozhou also raised his hand, "Help me write it too."
Jiang Xin took a piece of paper and patted both Jiang Zui and Li Xiaozhou on the head, "What are you guys doing? If we're voting, let's do it formally. Write your own. You're even asking for ghostwriters. How capable you all are."
Jiang Xin used to do multiple jobs at yLs, responsible for coaching, management, life administration, and everything else. Now that Lan Bowen was the head coach, his main task was to manage the discipline and lives of these people.
Jiang Zui and Li Xiaozhou weren't afraid of being lectured by Jiang Xin, but they were afraid of being fined. The two didn't dare to speak further and obediently waited for He Wang to finish writing. Then, they went to write one after another.
After them were Chen Jing, Qin Yu, Lan Bowen, and finally Sheng Kuang.
While everyone was voting, Jiang Xin went to the restroom. When he returned, "Is everyone done writing?"
Li Xiaozhou: "Mm, done."
"Then I'll count the votes now." Jiang Xin stood at the counter and poured the slips of paper from the vase. "Sheng Kuang one vote, Sheng Kuang two votes, Sheng Kuang three votes... Sheng Kuang nine votes."
Saying this, Jiang Xin clapped his hands loudly, "Now let's welcome our yLs team captain to say a few words..."
"Wait," Chen Jing interrupted Jiang Xin, looking at Sheng Kuang, "So, you voted for yourself?"
Sheng Kuang leaned back in his chair and frankly replied, "Mm."
"Are you crazy? You didn't want to be captain, but you made everyone vote, and then you voted for yourself? How narcissistic can you be... No!" Chen Jing shouted, then realized something was wrong. He started counting heads, "Qin Yu, He Wang, Li Xiaozhou, Jiang Zui, Wen Zi, Jiang Xin, me, shameless Sheng Kuang... Aren't there only eight people on our team? Where did nine votes come from?"
"Holy shit, am I hallucinating? How is there an extra vote? Oh, I know! It's Sheng Kuang. You voted for yourself twice, didn't you? Absolutely, this is something you would definitely do!"
Lin Jing cleared her throat, trying to interrupt Chen Jing, "Um..."
Chen Jing didn't hear her and continued to ramble, "Wow, Sheng Kuang, you're so thick-skinned. Voting for yourself is already narcissistic enough, but then you voted for yourself twice? Good heavens, how can someone like you exist in this world..."
Lin Jing reached out and slapped the table.
Chen Jing immediately quieted down.
Everyone looked at her.
Including Sheng Kuang, who was sitting beside her.
Lin Jing instinctively swallowed the words "Shut up, you're so annoying" that were about to burst out, and her aggressive stance instantly deflated.
She paused for two seconds, weakly raised her hand, and said in a small voice, "One vote was from me."
