Just as she was about to start her ga, Boss Yang from the bungalow ca in with a plate of grilled skewers and three large cups of juice, stepping into Jiang Ning’s small courtyard.
Without waiting for Jiang Ning to refuse, he directly placed the stainless steel plate on the small table and said, "I grilled the mushrooms you asked for. I’ve prepared them for you. There were too many custors today, so I slaughtered two sheep. There’s so leftover, so I left it here for you. Also, there’s a new sugarcane juice I made with a special machine, help taste it and see how it is!"
After he said that, Boss Yang added, "There are too many people, I need to get back to work."
He hurriedly left, leaving a table full of skewers.
Jiang Ning chuckled, today he picked two mushrooms from Hu Qi Mountain. He asked Yang Fei to grill one for him, using the other as paynt, saving him the effort of doing it himself.
Xue Yuantong sniffed the aroma of the grilled mushrooms and quickly slid down from her throne.
Jiang Ning: "Why aren’t you playing gas?"
Xue Yuantong: "Hmph, I’m worried you’ll be lonely eating by yourself, so I’m keeping you company."
Jiang Ning: "No worries, I called Chuchu."
Xue Yuantong made up a story: "Chuchu is on a diet, she doesn’t want to eat."
While saying this, she took a big gulp of sugarcane juice. Boss Yang’s choice of sugarcane was good. It wasn’t overly sweet but had a refreshing aroma. Then she bit into a skewer of grilled, fresh mushrooms sprinkled with cumin and chili powder, which was incredibly fragrant.
Xue Yuantong: "Jiang Ning, have a sip too."
Jiang Ning followed suit.
Now, the sugarcane juice in both of their cups had gone down a bit, so Xue Yuantong picked up Chuchu’s cup and evenly distributed it between the two of them, then called Chuchu via voice chat.
Xue Chuchu lightly agreed, but showed up quickly.
The three of them ate their small barbecue snacks as a movie played on the computer screen, adding to the cozy atmosphere of the room, making it particularly comfortable.
After finishing the barbecue, Xue Yuantong and Jiang Ning had an argunt and weren’t speaking to each other.
In the end, it was up to Xue Chuchu to return the stainless steel plate and cups to Boss Yang.
...
Tuesday, during the big recess.
Cao Kun and his desk-mate, Guo Kunnan, walked back to the classroom arm in arm.
Due to ng Zi Yun’s betrayal, Cao Kun, who used to be the star of Class 5, was severely impacted.
His lover left him, and he saw through the coldness of the world.
Guo Kunnan, being his deskmate, was similarly disheartened, so the two of them enjoyed chatting. On days without Brother Quan around, Guo Kunnan would go for walks with his deskmate.
"Brother Ma, today I saw two pretty girls again, one of them is really beautiful! Looks like the goddess of the Tieba forum, Zhou Jinglan!" Guo Kunnan estimated.
Cao Kun: "I think so too."
Guo Kunnan: "I’m really moved!"
As ti went by, Guo Kunnan found himself getting further away from Xin Youling. She had beco soone beyond his reach.
He couldn’t understand why Xin Youling wanted to beco the class president.
Did she not know that doing so would only further the distance between them?
Ma Shicheng: "If you’re interested, go ask for her WeChat. Don’t just talk about it without acting."
Guo Kunnan sighed: "I know my own limits."
Ma Shicheng: "Even Internet Explorer has the guts to ask if you want to set it as your default browser, why don’t you have the guts to ask for the contact of soone you’re interested in?"
Guo Kunnan suddenly realized.
Lu Qiqi, who had recently been using the computer too, sneered: "Did you ever agree to IE’s request?"
Guo Kunnan cursed quietly: ’Damn it!’
Ma Shicheng calmly said: "You must have clicked yes at so point."
Good student Chen Qian, relaxing in the back row, heard this and remarked: "Don’t feel unworthy. If you’re lacking courage, I suggest you read more books."
"Reading will help you understand yourself, and you’ll find answers in books."
As he spoke, he was enveloped in the righteous aura of a scholar!
Lu Qiqi nearly burst out laughing: "What does dating have to do with reading? Chosen partners have little to do with whether you read or not. Girls like guys with money. Can reading make you rich?"
Chen Qian: "In books, there is a house of gold."
Lu Qiqi laughed, "Alright then, let ask you. If they like guys who are 1.8 ters tall, but you’re only 1.7 ters, why would they choose you?"
Chen Qian, barely reaching 1.7 ters, was unfazed. He recited: "All things are inferior, only reading is superior."
Lu Qiqi was dumbfounded; she then asked: "What if you’re ugly?"
Chen Qian, with hands behind his back, replied: "With a belly full of books, one exudes natural elegance."
"Okay, you’re impressive." Lu Qiqi continued, "Girls also like those who are athletic, with good physiques, right?"
Chen Qian puffed up his chest, "Reading ten thousand books is like traveling ten thousand miles."
Lu Qiqi: "You talk so much, why don’t you just go to heaven?"
Chen Qian was calm and composed: "Books are the ladder of human progress."
This left Lu Qiqi speechless.
...
Afternoon break.
After more than a day of recovery, the injuries on Wu Yunzhi’s body had almost completely disappeared.
He was young, physically fit, and often played basketball, so his recovery was quick.
However, while his physical wounds were healing, the pain in his heart had not faded.
Frustration, agony, and anger brewed in Wu Yunzhi’s heart; he wished he could tear apart the person who ambushed him the other night.
He told his father to use his connections to investigate who attacked him that night. His father, having mined safely for so many years, already had his own network of contacts.
Allegedly, they were already pulling footage from the street caras around the Fourth Middle School, trying to filter through individuals, but due to the high foot traffic at Fourth Middle School, the investigation was still underway.
The results were estimated to be out in the next day or two.
At that ti... Wu Yunzhi’s expression suddenly turned icy cold.
First, he would deal with those people, and as for Qi Tianheng and the others...
He had soone investigate and knew that the other’s family was running a legitimate business, even investing in a factory in Beijing, making their family size much larger than his, so he couldn’t act for now. But Wu Yunzhi would find another way to humiliate Qi Tianheng.
By then, after winning over Lan Zichen, he would flaunt Lan Zichen in front of Qi Tianheng, trampling all over his dignity.
At this mont, Chang Yi from the class shouted, "Brother Wu, I called the team, let’s head to the field to play basketball."
Wu Yunzhi: "Alright."
Upon hearing that he was playing basketball, many bored girls in the class imdiately paid attention, saying, "We’ll go cheer for you at the field!"
The boys from class 16 felt another pang of bitterness in their hearts. They had never seen soone as excellent as Wu Yunzhi, who’s rich, handso, and good at basketball, making it impossible to compete, leaving them with only defeat.
Wu Yunzhi said, "Let’s go. When our team wins the ga, I’ll treat everyone to cake!"
And there was another wave of complints.
anwhile.
Wu Xiaoqi from class 8 picked up a basketball, put on his headphones, and humd a DJ tune as he left the classroom.
As he passed through the corridor, Zhuang Jianhui, dressed in sports clothes and also holding a basketball, was heading to the court with Lin Zida and Wei Xiu Yuan to play.
Zhuang Jianhui was also in a foul mood lately. He originally thought soone wouldn’t be able to fight back, yet they constantly troubled him, and even more excessive was Jiang Ning scaring Li Shi right in front of him.
It was too disrespectful to him.
Even in An City, he rarely encountered such circumstances, let alone in a small city like Yuzhou which he never regarded highly.
So today, he planned to play so basketball to relieve his mood.
After the expansion of Fourth Middle School’s admissions, the number of freshn nearly doubled, and the basketball courts were being planned for expansion; it was right after school in the afternoon, the peak ti for students to play basketball.
By the ti Wu Xiaoqi and Zhuang Jianhui arrived at the basketball court, there was only one hoop left.
After being hit by the chain attack of the Four Golden Flowers from class 8, the once invincible ironhead kid, Wu Xiaoqi, had learned to temper his temper, learning to compromise with reality.
He glanced at Zhuang Jianhui and proactively suggested, "Wanna play a round?"
Zhuang Jianhui looked down at Wu Xiaoqi, having a bit of impression of this student, from the neighboring class 8, not very tall, but always seen playing basketball, his love for basketball was genuine.
Since he was a fellow basketball enthusiast, Zhuang Jianhui wasn’t too aloof, agreeing, "Sure, let’s do it."
He was quite curious about the other’s basketball skills.
Just as they were about to play, Wu Yunzhi, playing aggressively on the opposite hoop, charged over with the ball, causing Wu Xiaoqi and Zhuang Jianhui to step aside.
Wu Yunzhi made a handso jump shot, perfectly landing the ball, and was t with cheers from the girls around.
Wu Yunzhi stopped and glanced at Wu Xiaoqi and Zhuang Jianhui, casually saying, "Sorry, we’re having a match, so you can’t use this hoop."
Zhuang Jianhui was montarily stunned.
He looked at Wu Yunzhi and the bunch of guys playing basketball behind him.
He was already upset: ’Having run into Jiang Ning, I chalked it up to bad luck, but who do you all think you are?’
Zhuang Jianhui didn’t get angry but instead smiled, "Isn’t that against the rules? The court is for everyone."
