Zhou Yi used his other hand to gently pat Hu Mando's trembling arm that was holding her.

"Since the rules have been set, it's best for us to abide by them. We at Wharton are willing to team up with Artes and Yellowstone College."

After Zhou Yi finished speaking, not only people from other schools looked over, but even Yi Mingde, Qilan and Hu Manduo all looked at her.

Based on their understanding of Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi does not seem like someone who can make such a choice.

"Zhou Zhou, you... can bend and stretch!"

Hu Manduo, who wanted to win in his heart and wanted to be in the same group as Huang Shi, couldn't say such a thing in public at this moment.

Zhou Yi smiled brightly and stood there calmly facing the gazes from all directions.

"Since one of the three schools insists, then we will still act according to the rules. Wharton College, Artus College, and Yellowstone College will form a group."

After waiting for Wharton's answer, Ying Chuan made his decision and continued to draw lots.

Huangshi's teacher didn't expect that things would get to this point, and Wharton would shamelessly hold on to him. In the end, he could only admit that he was unlucky.

Silla's mood was exactly the same as that of the people at Yellowstone College. Now that Yao Chi no longer had to be a mediator, she felt a lot more relaxed.

After such a fuss, the team behind them honestly made no further comments.

Any other comments?

No matter how bad the team is, just think about Huangshi and your heart will suddenly feel balanced.

Probably even Yellowstone College themselves don’t know that they can also have a placebo effect.

There will be no competition on the first day. Lots will be drawn in the morning, and the newly formed teams will be given a running-in period in the afternoon so that they can get to know each other and discuss the strategic plan for tomorrow.

When all the teams were formed and the crowd was announced and dispersed, Fanxi from Artes came to Wharton specifically to find Zhou Yi, "You Whartons are so useless, I'm really embarrassed for you."

After finishing his sarcastic sentence, Fan Xi ran away, but the young female teacher who had been following him kept apologizing to Zhou Yi.

"I'm sorry, he just has the temper of a child, but actually he has a good heart."

"fine."

Zhou Yi didn't care. If she were Fan Xi, she would be aggrieved.

But in life, everyone has a different position and different mission.

Just when Huang Shi started to shout his disagreement, Zhou Yi's star brain received a message from Meng Zhou.

"If you want to advance, team up with Huang Shi and don't stand out. The Li family has already noticed you."

The Li family that Meng Zhou was talking about, Zhou Yi remembered, was the famous family that imprisoned her ancestor.

She didn't know why Meng Zhou sent her such a message.

However, she never imagined that Meng Zhou would lie to her for any reason, just to let herself team up with Huang Shi.

So Zhou Yi chose to believe it.

She can't afford to gamble.

What's more, it's just a shame.

What is this?

Only those in their late teens and early twenties take face as seriously as the sky. Anyone who has seen greater pain and been trained for two years will understand what face is?

For those who stand on a high platform, it is a symbol of dignity, but for those who are still at the bottom, it is nothing.

Several people from Wharton were silent when they went back. Even Hu Maduo, who had always been relatively cheerful, didn't know what to say at this moment.

As he was about to walk back to the villa, Yi Mingde spoke first:

"I'm sorry, I didn't make Wharton stronger in the past many years, so when it came to a wider stage, it was weak and looked down upon.

Zhou Yi, I really thank you, not only for everything you have done before, but also for your choice today, which has given you and Wharton a chance.

I believe that in ten or twenty years, Wharton will be different from what it is now because of you."

Yi Mingde said a lot in one breath, which was rare and serious.

Hu Manduo even gave Zhou Yi a hug.

This StarCraft competition is the most important and only opportunity for Wharton to stand out in so many years.

Undoubtedly, no one wanted to refuse to be paired with Huang Shi.

But in a situation like that at that time, it took more courage to accept a strong teammate who looked down on him than to reject him with dignity.

And Zhou Yi is the only one who has such courage at the moment.

"Ah, I'm so hungry. Let's go in and eat."

Zhou Yi is really not good at dealing with such pretentious scenes.

In fact, if she hadn't received that text message from Meng Zhou, she might have really rejected Huang Shi.

After all, she had calculated the number of enemies she needed to kill to advance to the group stage. If she worked harder, she could finish it by herself.

"Let's go back and eat something delicious."

Qi Lan wiped his eyes and took the lead to walk in.

"I'll do it!"

Lin Xu even dragged Hu Mando off Zhou Yi and went in to cook.

"I'll go out first and be back soon!"

Zhou Yi said hello to the principal and ran away.

"This guy, I thought she would feel uncomfortable, he is so heartless!"

Yi Mingde looked at Zhou Yipao's Sahuan's back and cursed in his heart.

Zhou Yi was indeed running away to have fun, because Meng Zhou just sent her another message, asking her to meet at noon.

Following the address given by Meng Zhou, Zhou Yi came to a restaurant.

As soon as Zhou Yi arrived at the door, he was taken up to the second floor by the service staff and respectfully sent to the door of a room.

Zhou Yi opened the door and Meng Zhou was sitting in the room, drinking from a tea bowl.

Zhou Yi sat down opposite him and took a look at the contents of his cup.

Whoa! It’s actually tea.

Zhou Yi hadn't had any tea since he came here, and he was tired from running all the way. He didn't show any politeness to him, so he sat across from him and poured himself a bowl of Gudong Gudong and drank it.

"Tell me, what does your text message mean?"

Seeing that Meng Zhou had no intention of speaking first, Zhou Yi asked straight to the point.

"The Li family already knows that you are a descendant of Zhou Qian. You are still in the limelight during the competition. Your sudden disappearance may attract the attention of the alliance and other forces. They are planning to get rid of you after you are eliminated from the StarCraft competition. Do you want to do anything again at this time?

I'm afraid they won't be able to wait until the end of the game."

Meng Zhou didn't give in and said straight away.

The amount of information in this passage is indeed a bit large. Zhou Yi thought about it for a while and took another sip of tea.

"Is this your family's business?"

When Zhou Yi came in, he noticed the waiter's attitude towards her. It didn't look like she was helping to welcome guests, but more like she was giving instructions from her own boss.

In the interstellar catering industry, it is not ordinary people who can afford to cook, let alone get tea.

"That's right."

Meng Zhou talked a lot, but he didn't expect that this was the first question Zhou Yi asked.

"No wonder the information is so well-informed."

Zhou Yi nodded. No wonder it was always like this in TV dramas before. Restaurants and teahouses were the places with the most news.

"So why are you helping me?"

The Li family has a long-standing feud with him, and it is normal for him to kill her, but why would Meng Zhou help him?

Zhou Yi didn't believe that Meng Zhou could have any friendship with her just after they had exchanged hands with each other.

Is there anything else in her that the other party wants?

After Zhou Yi thought about it, the only thing he could think of was that she was a star tattoo master, but she had only taken two orders and was sure that she had not been exposed yet.

So how did Meng Zhou know? She wanted to hear Meng Zhou say it himself.

In just a few seconds, Zhou Yi figured out a lot.

Sister Zhou is not strong enough at this time, and a bigger crisis is coming soon, and she is still far away from going solo, haha.
