Chapter 115: I Just Hate It!
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Bang! A heavy basketball crashed onto the court and bounced for a while, and the boys on the court hurriedly scattered to dodge it.
“Sorry, litter Zi. We are here to pick up the basketball,” one of the guys said to Zhao Yanzi.
It was apparent that it was a scheme since they had been approaching the middle school students before the basketball flew this way.
However, although the middle school students knew that these high school students were lying, they didn’t dare to point it out.
Zhao Guang had purposely arranged Zhao Yanzi to join this class since the students mostly came from ordinary families and had better academic performances. The class was full of well-behaved students, and there weren’t any overbearing kids from rich and powerful families,
That was why the students from other classes thought Zhao Yanzi came from an ordinary family, and some daring wealthy kids even wrote love letters to her.
Of course, love letters were only the antics of the middle school students. The high school students were more direct; they would come to see Zhao Yanzi during lunch break, and some even tried to ask her out at the end of the school day.
Undoubtedly, Zhao Yanzi had refused all their attempts.
Zhao Yanzi stopped the basketball that was rolling her way by stepping on it with one foot. She then kicked the ball toward the guys and said, “Get out of here with your ball!”
“Well, well, Little Zi is tough today.” The guy with slightly longer hair caught the ball before throwing it back to the basketball court that was in the distance with force, showing his strength.
Contemptuously, Zhao Yanzi ignored him. “What little strength is that! Any one of the Elders around me could casually lift up a mountain,” she thought.
She yelled at the boys in her class, “Let’s continue the match!”
The boy with the ball was a good student, but he was so timid that he dared not to serve when he saw the high school students glaring at him.
There were no tough figures in Zhao Yanzi’s class; even Ling just glared at the guys, not daring to drive them away.
However, the high school students felt humiliated as Zhao Yanzi ignored them. They waved at the basketball court, and another basketball crashed toward the volleyball court, trying to mess with Zhao Yanzi’s class’ volleyball match.
Now, Zhao Yanzi was pissed. She was about to explode when a palm appeared in the air and caught the basketball.
It was not difficult to catch a basketball with one hand, but not everyone could catch one smashing towards them from more than 50 meters away.
Zhao Yanzi turned and was surprised to see Hao Ren there.
“Bullying middle school students? Shame on you!” Hao Ren caught the ball and secured it between his two hands.
“Who the hell are you?!” The guy with longer hair glared at Hao Ren who had come from nowhere.
Hao Ren was not one of the students since he wasn’t wearing a uniform, but he didn’t look old enough to be a teacher. Also, the high school students were a bit surprised when they saw him catching the basketball.
“Go back to playing basketball and don’t bother the students from other classes,” Hao Ren continued to lecture them.
The high school students looked at Hao Ren suspiciously, wondering if he was a new teacher here. However, Hao Ren looked more like a high school student in their eyes.
“Which school are you from?”
“How did you get in here?”
“Stay out of our business!”
The high school students yelled one after another. Since Hao Ren was by himself and there were several of them, they couldn’t admit defeat.
Ignoring their taunting words, Hao Ren raised the basketball above his head, appearing as if he was going to shoot it.
Looking at his standard shooting posture, Zhao Yanzi’s expression turned from astonishment to resignation. “Come on! Stop playing cool! You will fail” she thought.
The high school students and Zhao Yanzi’s classmates all looked at Hao Ren as if he was crazy.
“You can shoot at most 20 meters with this posture. If you want to shoot 50 meters, you will need to use the posture of throwing a spear,” they thought.
Swoosh!
With a flick of his wrists, the basketball shot out of Hao Ren’s palm.
In a long arc, the ball shot toward the basketball hoop 50 meters away!
It was only a shot made with a flick of his wrist!
Except for Zhao Yanzi, everyone present was stunned.
“Stupid Uncle. What’s the use of your cool pose if you miss it? I know your basketball skills suck,” Zhao Yanzi thought.
The basketball flew over one sideline of the soccer field, and the high school students who were playing soccer also looked up.
Swoosh!
The ball went into the basket before dropping onto the ground.
On the volleyball court, the high school students who were standing beside Hao Ren all gasped in astonishment.
Zhao Yanzi also looked at Hao Ren in astonishment. Strength and accuracy were not the same; Hao Ren not only had the strength to shoot the ball into the basketball court, but he also got the point!
Suddenly, Zhao Yanzi found Hao Ren, who remained in his shooting pose under the sunshine, quite dashing.
“Your ball is back. Why don’t you go back and continue your game?” Hao Ren turned and said to the high school students.
Looking at Hao Ren uneasily, they found themselves unable to move their feet.
“Uncle,” the moment she said it, Zhao Yanzi caught herself and changed her words. “Hao Ren, why are you here?” she asked.
“I heard that some guys are harassing you, and I just came to have a look,” Hao Ren answered.
“He is so dashing! He must be a member of the Basketball Team!”
“Yeah! He dresses ordinarily, but he has an elegant presence.”
“Yeah, he looks so composed.”
On the volleyball court, the girls in Zhao Yanzi’s class whispered to each other.
Hearing their comments, Zhao Yanzi’s vanity was satisfied. With a pleasant smile, she tucked her hands under Hao Ren’s arm and asked, “How did you get in here?”
“I left my student ID card in the guard’s office, and he let me in.”
Seeing Zhao Yanzi holding Hao Ren’s arm intimately, the high school students were all stunned. “Zhao Yanzi has a boyfriend, and the boyfriend is such a cool guy!” they thought.
They exchanged looks with each other before slinking back to the basketball court.
Seeing Zhao Yanzi’s classmates staring at him, Hao Ren was a bit uncomfortable. He lowered his head and asked, “Is it against school rules if we walk around the campus?”
“No! It’s not against the rules!” Zhao Yanzi shook her head, rubbing her face against Hao Ren’s arm with a happy expression.
“Let’s go.” Hao Ren led her out of the volleyball court, and Zhao Yanzi caught up with him and put her hand in his palm.
Hao Ren felt weird as he held onto her hand, wondering if it was a blatant show of puppy love.
With her classmates’ comments about her handsome and loving boyfriend still in her ears, Zhao Yanzi dragged Hao Ren out of the sports field toward the lake in the center of the school.
The moment they were by the lake and out of her classmates’ sight, Zhao Yanzi threw Hao Ren’s arm away. Hao Ren was speechless at her ruthless behavior.
“Today, you behaved well. I’ll treat you to lunch,” she said to Hao Ren as she wiped her hand.
Looking at her straight face, Hao Ren knew that he got used again.
“Where are we eating?” Hao Ren asked.
“Something from the cafeteria,” Zhao Yanzi answered without thinking.
The campus of LingZhao Middle school was indeed beautiful. The trees lined the banks of the lake and formed a shady circular road. Sunshine pierced through the leaves and fell softly on the stone path and Hao Ren’s and Zhao Yanzi’s face.
“Is it ok for you to run out of the P.E. class and walk around campus?” Hao Ren asked her.
“It’s no big deal. I will go back before the class is finished,” Zhao Yanzi said indifferently.
“How long do you have before the end of the class?” Hao Ren asked.
“Stop nagging! With 45 minutes in one class, we still have half an hour!” Zhao Yanzi scolded him impatiently.
Hao Ren was speechless at her retort. He gathered his thoughts before saying, “The guard said that I could only stay in the school for one hour. I’m afraid I can’t go to the cafeteria for lunch after class.”
“Stupid!” Zhao Yanzi gave him a hard look. “Wait here!”
She ran toward the gate of the school, leaving a stupefied Hao Ren who had no choice but to wait for her.
The air was fresh, and the birds were chirping. From a Teaching Building that was about a dozen meters away, there came the sound of students reading together.
A couple of minutes later, Zhao Yanzi ran back with Hao Ren’s student ID card in her hand. She tossed it at him and said, “Well, everything is set.”
“How did you get it?” Hao Ren asked.
“Be sweet and play cute, there is nothing I can’t get,” Zhao Yanzi glanced at him and said.
Hao Ren was speechless, wondering if it was one of the privileges of girls her age.
However, he still felt uneasy as an outsider loitering in their school. He was especially afraid of bumping into Zhao Yanzi’s Class Advisor.
“I’m heading back to play volleyball. You can do whatever you want here,” Zhao Yanzi raised her head and said to Hao Ren.
“Can I watch you play?” Hao Ren asked.
“I don’t want a weird uncle like you watching me play volleyball!” Zhao Yanzi rolled her eyes at him while slightly blushing.
Hao Ren was at a loss for words. He hated to be called Uncle, but she only called him ‘Hao Ren’ once when she needed him as a shield; Hao Ren felt pity for himself.
“You just find a corner and wait for me. I’ll come for you when the P.E. class is over.”
After saying that, she ran toward the sports field.
Hao Ren, on the other hand, found a red pavilion nearby and walked over. After spotting a chair that was wide enough for him, he laid down on it.
“With her fickle temper, if I go back to East Ocean University now and she can’t find me after class, she will fume with rage. I don’t know how to handle her!” Hao Ren lamented while looking at the sunshine penetrating through the leaves.
He closed his eyes.
Time passed without him noticing. Hao Ren had circulated the Nature Essence following the Spirit Concentration Scroll about a dozen times, and someone kicked the chair he was lying on all of a sudden.
“Hey! Let’s go eat lunch!” Zhao Yanzi had changed back into her usual school uniform. With her sportswear in her hand, she yelled at Hao Ren who was lying on the chair like a homeless guy.
