From BOSS to Canon Fodder: She is Currently Out of Service!-Chapter 72 - 42: Her Past_2

K3 came out to smooth things over, pulling Xu Na aside and said, "Nana, let’s talk about this later. For now, let’s get Xiao Meng to the competition quickly, or she’ll miss it."

Then Su Jiameng was pushed by Lucy to the entrance of the competition. As they arrived, the final three-second countdown was going on. Lucy suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My little ancestor, when will you change this habit of being the last to arrive? If you miss today, trust me, the folks from Qiming Star will chase you to the ends of the earth..."

"Mm, I know." Su Jiameng quietly adjusted her breathing, kicking out the chaotic thoughts from her mind. To earn more credit points, Su Jiameng indeed bet almost all her assets on herself, and according to the current odds, her odds are very high! It seems like everyone still believes in that Xilena genius...

But that’s good, just a chance to make a huge profit! Just thinking about the credit points in her little treasury rising rapidly, how could Su Jiameng care about her past sadness? Her eyes were practically filled with credit points!

However, looking at Su Jiameng’s serene smile, Lucy’s eyes showed a hint of intrigue. Only when she entered the competition venue did Lucy finally play with her hair and, with a puzzled look, returned to K3 and the others. Seeing her spaced out, Xu Na grabbed her arm and said, "Lucy, snap out of it. We’re going to watch the competition now..."

"Um..." Lucy hesitated and whispered, "Boss Qin, Nana, haven’t you noticed that Xiao Meng seems a bit off today? I saw her eyes were red earlier, do you think she was bullied on the cosmic spaceship?"

Bullied? Xiao Meng was bullied? The K3 team’s small partners were stunned! Who was the clueless fool daring to bully this tough girl?! After the shock, everyone turned their gaze to K3, expressing a clear intention to know why Xiao Meng had been bullied, why she quietly reddened her eyes and nearly missed the challenge competition...

Feeling the pressure, K3 dared not delay and quickly sought help from Li You. Then... he remained silent for a long time. Xu Na’s personality is rather impatient, and she pushed the fossil-like K3 to urge, "Boss Qin, what exactly happened? Did those officers on the warship look down on Xiao Meng, did someone step up to make things difficult for her?"

K3, as if waking from a dream, said awkwardly, "Uncle Li says he’s not entirely sure either, but... lately someone secretly took pictures of Xiao Meng during training and spread rumors... I guess Xiao Meng might be angry because of this."

"Eh?" Everyone was confused, thinking K3’s explanation was somewhat sketchy and inconsistent, completely making no sense.

"To put it simply, someone took pictures and spread rumors that Xiao Meng has some dirty relationship with a captain." Scratching his head, K3 speedily explained in frustration, "The issue is that the captain is already married, and his wife is a lieutenant."

Captain? Xu Na didn’t care about the military rank, rather she touched her chin and said, "Since he’s a captain and a married one at that, he must be much older, right? Do you think Xiao Meng, at such a dreamy age, would be interested in a second-hand old man?"

So, this rumor is just a rumor anyway, Xiao Meng’s mental resilience is so strong, why would she be upset? Or could it be that someone not only spread this rumor, but secretly cornered Xiao Meng and gave her a beating, so Xiao Meng...

Thinking of this, Xu Na’s eyes flashed a hint of danger. On the contrary, listening to her words, K3’s forehead was filled with black lines, feeling bad for the innocent captain, "Actually, the situation isn’t so complicated... Basically, Xiao Meng wasn’t wronged."

"Then why is Xiao Meng crying?" Xu Na discontentedly looked K3 up and down, snorting, "You’re a guy, what do you know about the sensitive thoughts of a young girl? If Xiao Meng wasn’t wronged, did she cry for fun?"

Being openly teased and disliked by Xu Na, K3 could only respond helplessly, "From the feedback from Uncle Li, Xiao Meng and that captain have nothing going on. The rumors are basically baseless. As for Xiao Meng crying..."

Just when K3 was about to give a proper explanation, Xu Lei made a divine interjection, "It might not necessarily be crying, maybe she overslept and yawned upon waking..."

Everyone fell into an awkward silence, looking at Xu Lei with eyes that worship with admiration. Such a jest truly tops it! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Lucy slapped her forehead, realizing, "Let’s stop guessing here. Once Xiao Meng’s competition is over, we can ask her in detail to find out! The priority now is to watch the competition! Zhang Yiqi is my greatest idol and male god!"

At this moment, Xu Na also shook off her worry mode and switched to fangirl mode with lightning speed, clenching her fists in excitement, "That’s right, it’s rare to see the male god in high spirits, if we miss it, who knows when we’ll see him again in the future! Eh, I must privately contact Xiao Meng and ask her to get a couple of signed photos from the male god for me!"

Lucy was reluctant to fall behind, "Count me in, I want a photo of the male god in Expedition Army uniform alongside a mecha!"
