Chapter 161: Chapter 146: Even the Homeroom Teacher Wouldn’t Do This!

Xiao Yuan’s clarification post on Weibo gained a lot of followers for Ji Xizhi. To avoid fans worrying, she didn’t exaggerate the condition, just told the truth, and also posted pictures of the medication, which reassured the fans considerably.

Just as she finished replying, Ji Xizhi came out of the bathroom, her hands wrapped in something, making it inconvenient to dry her hair, so she came out to the sofa to do it.

As soon as she came out, she saw Xiao Yuan chatting enthusiastically with the intellectuals.

Ji Xizhi peeked over, just in time to see a certain intellectual on Weibo fiercely sympathizing with her.

Night Battle God: I’m so angry; I’m too upset to even do my practice tests! Tonight I just want to fight, counter the haters, and rank up, Zhi Zhi let’s go!!!

Xiao Yuan’s eyes landed right on this comment, and she sheepishly turned off her phone.

But Ji Xizhi had already seen it.

Ji Xizhi reached out her hand.

Xiao Yuan lamented silently for the fans for three minutes before handing over the phone.

Immediately, the fan with the ID “Night Battle God” received a reply from Ji Xizhi.

[Xiao Yuan: Fighting what? How far have you gotten with your practice questions?]

The tone unmistakably was Ji Xizhi.

[Night Battle God: …Is… is it Zhi Zhi?]

Ji Xizhi replied again.

[Xiao Yuan: Yes, how far have you gotten?]

[Night Battle God: …Question five.]

[Xiao Yuan: Not focused enough, you are banned from participating in fights for three days.]

[Ji Xizhi Fan Club: Got it!!!]

Ji Xizhi’s wave of replies had everyone laughing.

Banning her own fans from countering the slander and ranking up! Is this what a celebrity should be doing?

Even a class teacher wouldn’t do this!

The fans were angry all night long, but Ji Xizhi’s comments made them both want to laugh and feel scared.

Onlookers enthusiastically voiced their desire to join.

[I used to think joining Ji Xizhi’s fan group was too much trouble, that was my mistake. Now I’m putting all my nephew and niece into it :)]

After supervising her fans, Ji Xizhi returned the phone to Xiao Yuan, who instantly understood when she saw Ji Xizhi’s expression.

“I’ll go write today’s summary!”

Ji Xizhi hummed in acknowledgment, her gaze suddenly noticing the photo of the medication Xiao Yuan posted on her Weibo main page.

She hadn’t paid attention just now, but now she noted that every medicine box had handwritten notes detailing usage instructions, not printed ones.

Ji Xizhi asked, “Where did the medicine come from?”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan suddenly remembered.

“Oh right, I nearly forgot to mention, this is the medicine Fang Yuliang gave when we encountered him at the school gate during the reality show recording with Sister Zhi Zhi. It was when you went to the office to get your computer; he delivered it, I was in such a hurry to apply medicine just now and forgot to mention it!”

“Fang Yuliang? He’s back at school?”

When mentioning Fang Yuliang, Ji Xizhi’s first thought was about the subsequent management of the fields in Ping’an Village; she was more concerned about that rather than the injury on her hand.

Previously, when Fang Yuliang stayed at Ping’an Village, she had said if he needed anything, he could ask her, but Fang Yuliang had never contacted her.

Ji Xizhi took out her phone and opened Fang Yuliang’s WeChat, intending to proactively message him and ask.

Just as she opened the chat, before she could type, as if expected, a message came through from the other side.

Fang Yuliang: The preliminary management of the Ping’an Village fields is done, but follow-up observation is needed.

That’s good news.

Ji Xizhi let out a long sigh of relief and replied: Okay.

After replying, she glanced at the medicine box beside her and added another line.

Ji Xizhi: Thank you for the medicine.

Fang Yuliang had just arrived at the laboratory when he received Ji Xizhi’s message. The coldness between his brows dissipated slightly.

He encountered Ji Xizhi at the school gate; she was supporting another student, so he didn’t go up and greet her. He vaguely noticed that Ji Xizhi’s right hand seemed not very agile; recalling the events at the dinner party as mentioned by Feng Qin today, along with the photos online, it wasn’t hard to guess what had happened.

Fang Yuliang had grabbed some of every medicine for hand injuries but didn’t reveal himself.

Now, receiving Ji Xizhi’s message, it’s clear she knows the medicine was from him.

Fang Yuliang hesitated, unsure how to respond to the WeChat message.

Just then, Han Congsheng came in from outside, holding a stack of reports, his dark circles heavy like a panda’s.

Han Congsheng: “You’re back? Great, you can do the analysis tonight!”

Fang Yuliang didn’t respond to him.

Yawning, Han Congsheng sidled up next to Fang Yuliang, watching as his fingers hovered over his phone keyboard without replying for several minutes.

Han Congsheng couldn’t stand it any longer, having endured Fang Yuliang’s absence for so many days, he was at his limit.

Han Congsheng now only wanted Fang Yuliang to start working early, so he offered a suggestion: “Why is it difficult to reply? Just say your family sells medicine, and she won’t lack medication in the future!”

Fang Yuliang looked up with a rare look of doubt on his face.

Han Congsheng couldn’t tolerate that doubt; he patted his chest proudly: “I said the same thing to my wife before; I can grow vegetables, and our family won’t lack vegetables in the future!”

This was what he learned from many domineering CEO novels, a classic!

Seeing Han Congsheng’s self-assured demeanor, the doubt gradually faded from Fang Yuliang’s face, and his thumb slowly dropped onto the keyboard, sending a reply.

Fang Yuliang: No need to thank me; there’s plenty of medicine at home; it’s free.

Ji Xizhi saw this message and after contemplating for a moment, she sent Fang Yuliang a sum of money.

Fang Yuliang: ?

Han Congsheng: “Uh… maybe the classic literature from over ten years ago is outdated! I’m going to do the analysis; maybe you should rest today!”

Before Fang Yuliang’s expression could freeze completely, Han Congsheng quickly slipped away!

–

After sending money to Fang Yuliang, Ji Xizhi also transferred some money to Xue Fan from the forum, as a thank-you for the invitation.

Once the transfers were done, she put down her phone and planned to take a shower and rest.

As she rose from the table, a file next to her accidentally fell to the ground.

This was the document Xiao Yuan brought back.

Ji Xizhi just returned from the reality show and hadn’t seen it yet; she squatted down to pick it up.

The file scattered, revealing the large characters on the first page.

[Ninth Episode Theme of Escape Room: Chunlan Girls High School.]

This was the script Xiao Yuan mentioned when she went to pick her up earlier today?

She initially intended to take a look, but the dinner event had delayed her, and now was a good time.

Ji Xizhi picked up the booklet and flipped through it.

Escape Room is a room escape reality show, with different thematic plots each episode. This was one of the scripts handed to Ji Xizhi, but such shows don’t have much in the way of content, mostly theme-related, with the rest reliant on the artists’ on-site exploration and improvisation.

Ji Xizhi was drawn to the theme and quickly finished reading the entire booklet.

She decided she would participate in this episode of the reality show.

Since being transported to this world through the book, she had always just wanted to leave the entertainment industry, to return to her previous life trajectory.

For the first time, she was willing to actively participate in a reality show.

She wasn’t yet sure of the connection between the world she was in and the previous one, but whatever the connection, whether transported through the book or not, she remained herself, and her goals and desires would never change.

After reading the script, Ji Xizhi planned to have Xiao Yuan contact the director tomorrow.

As the script was closed, a page slipped out from the last one.

On the page was a handwritten guarantee.

[Left by Director Xu personally: The filming of this episode will last one day, and during the process, while ensuring it does not interfere with the escape process, the program team will provide Ji Xizhi with flexible study time and an environment for learning. Please rest assured, Teacher Ji! Looking forward to working with you for the first time!]

The guarantee also left Director Xu’s contact information specially behind.

Ji Xizhi: “…”

For some reason, she felt as though she had been completely seen through.
