Chapter 1718 - 938: A Little Showing Off
The last class of the morning is still P.E.
The boys’ formation from Class 8 took a break, the girls’ formation did too, but only Class 3 and Class 9 of sophomore year were being trained by Gu Wei.
Cui Yu sat on the cement podium, watching other classes: "Suddenly fell in love with P.E. class."
On the ping pong table to the south, Yu Wen suggested a betting style of play.
Yu Wen was eliminated by Lu Qiqi.
Everyone took turns, the ping pong paddle landed in Zhang Chi’s hands, Zhang Chi was good at spinning shots, defeating all the girls.
Zhang Chi felt lofty and ambitious for a moment: "Why don’t we bet on the matches, whoever loses..."
Yang Sheng: "Heard someone likes betting?"
Zhang Chi immediately went silent, the scene became quite quiet, and the gambling urge of Class 8 dropped to its lowest, all being good citizens.
At this time, a figure appeared in front of the ping pong table.
His outfit was well-tailored, the fabric exquisite, highlighting his nobility when worn, it was Gong Jin.
He gestured: "How about a few rounds?"
Zhang Chi was internally upset: ’I may not beat Yang Sheng, but surely I can beat you?’
"What’s the bet?" Gong Jin asked.
The current ’class president’ Wang Longlong said: "One duty for each ball?"
Gong Jin: "Okay."
Zhang Chi, of course, wouldn’t show weakness, and started the game.
Zhang Chi really couldn’t beat him, losing ten duties, standing angrily by the iron railing by the wall, ’Damn it, your ping pong skills are that good?’
Gong Jin smiled slightly, it’s back, it’s back, the feeling from before, it’s back!
The things he lost, he’d win back time and again.
"Who’s next?"
Dan Kaiquan considered his skills pretty good, and Yang Sheng had his name on an 800-plus list in her book.
He stepped forward: "I’ll try two rounds."
Dan Kaiquan jogged daily, his physical speed and reflexes slightly stronger than Zhang Chi’s, but after playing, he found Gong Jin’s strategy significantly more formidable.
After losing five balls, Dan Kaiquan stood by the wall.
Gong Jin smirked: "Who’s next, I’m short on time."
Chai Wei, wanting redemption, stepped forward.
Two minutes later, he joined Chi Zi and Kaiquan in a line.
Liu Chuandao, Duan Shigang... all showed up.
Gong Jin monopolized 36 duties.
He got carried away and began asking: "Who’s next?"
Saying this, he glanced at Yang Sheng, preparing to face the girl who cost him greatly.
Yang Sheng sat on the podium, short hair neat and sharp, with a touch of valor between her brows.
’Truly handsome, this girl.’ Gong Jin marveled.
Wang Longlong exaggeratedly narrated: "Gong Jin, are you really ready? What kind of realization are you holding onto facing her, are you able to bear the loss?"
"You’re just an ordinary person!" Wang Longlong asserted.
Yang Sheng descended from the podium, accepting the challenge, she held the paddle, looking straight at her opponent: "Your style is not bad, learned systematically, right?"
Gong Jin held a paddle in one hand, the other hand behind him: "I have a ping pong teacher in An City, he’s earned a lot of glory, I admire him greatly."
Wang Longlong held a little notebook: "Not bad, you respect your teachers."
The next second, Gong Jin: "He also admires me."
All the students were stunned, ’You really like to flaunt, don’t you?’
Cui Yu jeered: "It’s true, I was there, I’m that ping pong ball, I saw them admire each other!"
Gong Jin’s mouth twitched: "Please guide me!"
A few minutes later.
Xue Yuantong asked: "Jiang Ning, why is his expression growing heavier and heavier?"
Jiang Ning casually: "When you truly want to win, there’s no smile on your face."
A while later.
Gong Jin was fenced in, Wang Longlong held an auction at the railing.
Xue Yuantong was originally watching the match, Huang Yuzhu carrying a big black bag, came over from the sports ground entrance.
He unfolded the big bag in one motion, revealing it filled with large pineapples.
Lu Qiqi exclaimed: "Whoa, you really brought pineapples?"
Cui Yu was startled: "We were joking!"
Huang Yuzhu with his usual honest and foolish demeanor: "I told my dad that the classmates wanted pineapples, he rode his motorcycle to bring them to me, very fresh!"
Liu Chuandao rubbed his hands, attempting to exit the fence: "That’s nice, come on, share with everyone!"
Wang Longlong stopped him: "Wait a second, you guys haven’t finished your division!"
Liu Chuandao was annoyed, with a dark face: "Can you hurry up?"
"What’s the rush?" Wang Longlong flicked his pen over his notebook: "Liu Chuandao, starting bid is 1 dollar..."
In the end, everyone got a share of pineapples.
Wang Longlong regrettably said: "You fell through the auction."
Jiang Ning’s group got a big pineapple, Huang Yuzhu had also prepared a fruit knife.
Chen Siyu pointed at classmates training in the sun, cleverly saying: "Eat over there, surely tastes better!"
Cui Yu agreed: "You’re absolutely right!"
Everyone spontaneously carried their big pineapples to the grassy sports field, sitting cross-legged in front of Class 3 and Class 9.
The students from the two classes were practicing leg lifts on the spot, the sun scorching hot, sweating heavily, now seeing Class 8 students looking like they’re eating pineapples.
They all glared angrily.
Cui Yu laughed heartily: "The angrier you are, the happier I am!"
Peeling pineapples was a skillful task, many students made a mess of their pineapples, but no matter, just bite into them, mouths full of juice, exclaiming in delight.
Especially those just auctioned, shouting the loudest, as if wanting to vent all the grievance.
Jiang Ning held a fruit knife, Xue Yuantong and Chen Siyu sat next to him watching, pondering how he’d peel the fruit.
Jiang Ning twirled an intricate knife spin, radiant light reflected off the blade, the pineapple "swished" changed color, its skin and eyes all vanished, leaving a pile of skins on the ground in a plastic bag.
"Wow! Amazing!" Geng Lu and Chen Siyu quickly applauded.
Even Bai Yuxia joined the applause line.
Students from Class 3 and Class 9 were left speechless, ’Eating a pineapple you turned into a mini-performance is it?’
Xue Yuantong cupped hands toward everyone: "Thanks for watching."
The students lamented: "Teacher, we don’t want to practice anymore!"
Gu Wei was eating pineapple offered by Tang Jing, sweet, really sweet.
He spoke gruffly: "Perseverance is victory."
Gong Jin swiftly stole a piece of pineapple from Duan Shigang’s hand.
Duan Shigang: "Damn it! I haven’t even eaten yet!"
He cursed and went back to peeling pineapple, Liu Chuandao and Cui Yu beside him, focused and waiting for his next piece to grab.
Gong Jin put the pineapple in his mouth, he had eaten many pricey pineapples, yet felt none as fragrant and sweet as the piece in his hand.
He suddenly felt, this school, this class, quite interesting.
If only he didn’t sit among the Four Golden Flowers.
...
Afternoon, second class. Between classes.
Jiang Ning leaned on the east balcony, overlooking the bustling scene.
Xin Youling found Jiang Ning, graciously inviting: "Are you free this afternoon, I’ll show you my cat."
"Huh?"
"You don’t have to be so reckless with yourself, right?"
