บท 72: Shot herself in the foot

"Have you said your goodbyes to the others?" Qi Jianyi asked, rising to greet the twins as they arrived.

With a cheerful smile, Qi Jinlu nodded enthusiastically. "Yes! Sister, did you see how powerful I was earlier?" he exclaimed, cutting off Qi Jinli, who was about to speak.

Oblivious to the twins' silent rivalry, Qi Jianyi smiled warmly, a hint of pride in her voice. "I saw it! You jumped so high and with so much power," she complimented generously.

"Of course! I'm the best player on our team," Qi Jinlu declared proudly.

Meanwhile, Qi Jinli sulked quietly, glaring at his brother with a mix of annoyance and envy. He had never felt more frustrated about his inability to express himself than in that moment, struggling to find the right timing to interject.

Fortunately, despite their little competition, Qi Jinlu was quick to include his brother. He turned the spotlight back to Qi Jinli. "Jinli is the second-best player," he stated.
