Chapter 295 -242 Coke
In the morning, during the second exam, Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong handed in their papers half an hour early, again.
From the last seat in exam room 1, Chen Qian looked at their backs with a complex expression.
During the break after the previous exam, in order to discuss badminton, Chen Qian had expounded a mass of theories, laying a thorough groundwork, only to be defeated by Jiang Ning in just a few moves once they played.
Recalling that embarrassing scene, Chen Qian was filled with countless regrets:
“How much better it would have been if my mental calculations had been faster?”
“If only I could have calculated quickly enough, I could have predicted the shuttlecock’s landing spot.”
“Then, I could have struck through the stars!”
Defeating Jiang Ning, garnering infinite glory, having everyone look up to him in admiration, shouting his name, Chen Qian.
It would have shaken the entire Fourth Middle School.
Such were his reflections.
However, life is always filled with regrets and remorse, Chen Qian thought of Yang Sheng’s mocking, recalled the peculiar looks from Bai Yuxia and Dong Qingfeng, thought of Jiang Ning’s indifference, and remembered Xue Yuantong’s detached attitude.
He thought of the passersby who disregarded him, envisioned the towering school buildings, thought of the sun hanging high in the sky…
All his failures came down to him not being fast enough.
Chen Qian was definitely not that kind of guy!
If Chen Qian had taken action, the sun and moon would lose their light.
Chen Qian stared at his exam paper and suddenly began writing fervently. Since he had been defeated by Jiang Ning in the domain of badminton, no matter, he would regain his lost confidence in other domains.
Such as his grades.
This time, he would definitely not lose again!
He would personally reclaim what he had lost.
Yang Sheng, Jiang Ning, he would confront them one by one.
And Bai Yuxia, who was snatched away by Xue Yuantong.
Just wait.
…
After Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong handed in their papers, they didn’t linger in the hallway but headed down the stairs toward the bike sheds.
Xue Yuantong, arms crossed, arrogantly said,
“Going home so early, don’t you want to fight another three hundred rounds with me?”
She felt better physically than ever before, Xue Yuantong even thought she could fight in badminton continuously for eighteen hours without rest.
To make Jiang Ning concede, to make her name, Xue Yuantong, known.
Jiang Ning responded, “Forget it.”
He walked into the bike shed.
Inside, Qi Tianheng, Zhao Xiaofeng, and two other boys were each sitting on a bicycle.
As soon as they saw Jiang Ning approach, they looked at him with a kind of indifferent gaze. How to describe it? Numb, ruthless, cold-blooded.
It was the same when all four boys looked over.
If it were any other student, faced with this scene, they might feel terror, not dare to make eye contact, or even quickly turn around and leave.
However, Jiang Ning calmly looked at them and, right in front of them, wheeled his mountain bike out of the shed, with Xue Yuantong following like a little tail.
Once they had walked away, Zhao Xiaofeng pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, offered one to Qi Tianheng first, then distributed them to the other two boys.
“Brother Tian, this guy is something, handing in his paper early and still scoring so well,” Zhao Xiaofeng took a satisfying drag,
“Plus, he’s not afraid of us at all.”
Another student chimed in, “Yeah, he’s actually not afraid of us.”
The last boy repeated like a parrot, “Not afraid of us.”
Qi Tianheng withdrew his gaze from Jiang Ning, holding the cigarette between two fingers, and said mockingly,
“He thinks he’s something special, totally unaware of his actual place.”
His tone was airy, recalling how he’d smashed Yang Sheng’s mountain bike and then Jiang Ning had come looking for him, capturing him on the spot.
At the time, Qi Tianheng saw it as a humiliation, was furiously enraged, and swore he would make Jiang Ning pay.
The focus shifted when Zhang Chi stole his breakfast and texted him to order more, leading Qi Tianheng, who’d been mocked, to divert his target from Jiang Ning.
A nearby boy said boldly, “What’s the use of knowing a little, his kind of fancy skills, I’d beat him to his knees with sucker punches.”
“That kind of crappy skills are just pathetic!”
The boy’s words tended toward belittling Jiang Ning, but the more Qi Tianheng listened, the darker his expression became.
Qi Tianheng had trained before; learning that his breakfast had been stolen by Zhang Chi from class eight, he went to the boys’ dorms to settle the score relying on his training in Sanda, only to be beaten with sucker punches by Zhang Chi.
He had to rest at home for several days for the bruises on his face to fade.
Now hearing his classmate’s words, his gaze turned malevolent as he stared at the boy.
“Are you belittling me?”
Zhao Xiaofeng, perceptive to nuances, suddenly realized what was happening.
He smacked the student on the head to quiet him.
To ease the tension and to salvage Qi Tianheng’s pride, Zhao Xiaofeng said,
“Zhang Chi is not simple; he has a background in sports, and his physical fitness is quite good.” ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
To make Qi Tianheng’s defeat seem more excusable, he began to praise Zhang Chi.
The boy on the side, quick on the uptake and knowing he had upset Qi Tianheng, quickly added,
“Zhang Chi is really strong, I saw him doing one-handed push-ups on the field, he did more than twenty.”
“He’s really fierce!” the boy gave a thumbs up.
The last boy boasted, “Last time outside the school, I saw Zhang Chi fighting someone, he was incredibly powerful, fought for over seventy minutes and still had the energy to vault over the school wall and run more than thirty laps around the field!”
“People’s physical abilities shouldn’t be uniformly judged.”
The three incessantly boasted about Zhang Chi, virtually elevating him to the stature of a war god.
Finally, Zhao Xiaofeng concluded, “Zhang Chi’s ability is extraordinary, in the whole Fourth Middle School, no, in all of Yuzhou, probably only Brother Tian can slightly surpass him.”
