Chapter 48.2: First High School (7)

Ruan Qing returned to his room to freshen up and changed into casual clothes. Meanwhile, the few people in the living room freshened up under the guidance of the housekeeper.

After a simple breakfast, they set off for school.

Boarding students didn’t go home on Saturdays and Sundays, and the basketball game was a big event, attracting many day students as well.

So when Ruan Qing and the others arrived, there were already a lot of people standing on the basketball court, making it quite noisy.

Ji Zhiyuan and Xiao Shiyi arrived and told Ruan Qing that they would prepare for the basketball game before returning to their own class.

After arriving at the venue, Ruan Qing changed into his basketball jersey. However, he didn’t completely undress before putting on the jersey. He simply took off his school uniform jacket and wore the basketball jersey over his short-sleeved shirt.

After all, the jersey was a bit too big for him, so it was better to wear something inside. Otherwise, he would feel a bit chilly in the morning.

The basketball game was about to start in a while. Ruan Qing sat arrogantly on a bench, surrounded by people. When he scanned the surroundings, he seemed like a high and mighty emperor inspecting his territory.

On the other side of the basketball court, belonging to Class 1, a girl’s clear voice suddenly rang out, “Brother Su Qing!!!”

Ruan Qing paused when he heard the voice and looked towards the source.

On the opposite side of the playground, a girl from the same year, dressed in a school uniform and with a pure and lovely appearance, was happily waving at him, her face adorned with a clean and radiant smile.

Ruan Qing was momentarily stunned before he realized that she seemed to be the original owner’s... girlfriend, Xia Baiyi.

Xia Baiyi was also in Class 1, but she didn’t seem to have much of a sense of belonging to the class. She stood quite far from Class 1. When she saw Ruan Qing looking over, she immediately ran towards him with a joyful expression.

Ruan Qing stood up as Xia Baiyi reached him and asked, “Why did you come?”

“I missed you, so I came,” Xia Baiyi said with a bright smile, appearing very happy.

Her tone was soft, tinged with a hint of coquetry, but it didn’t come across as artificial or annoying. Instead, it gave people a sweet feeling, and the original owner was quite taken with it.

Ruan Qing imitated the original owner’s actions and gently patted the girl’s head, speaking like a grown man, “Remember to cheer for me later.”

An ordinary person would probably look a bit greasy doing this, possibly giving the impression of an average guy. However, when the teenager did it, there was a certain degree of pleasing aesthetics, as if he was arrogantly encouraging others to cheer for him.

“Mmm!” Xia Baiyi nodded vigorously, then tiptoed slightly and leaned towards the direction of the teenager, as if she wanted to give him a kiss.

Seeing this, Ruan Qing instinctively leaned back and turned her head to avoid her kiss.

Xia Baiyi didn’t get angry or embarrassed. She affectionately held Ruan Qing’s arm and playfully winked at him. “I will definitely cheer for Brother Su Qing with all my effort!”

Mo Ran glanced at Xia Baiyi beside Su Qing and his gaze finally fell on her hand holding the teenager’s arm. After a few seconds, he handed the teenager the already opened water bottle and said, “Brother Su, do you want some water?”

However, before Mo Ran could finish his sentence, Xia Baiyi seemed to have been pushed from behind and accidentally bumped into the water Mo Ran had handed over.

Since the water bottle was already open, a considerable amount of water spilled directly onto the teenager, wetting his clothes.

Xia Baiyi widened her eyes and didn’t have time to figure out who had pushed her. Instead, she hurriedly tried to dry the teenager’s jersey with her sleeve, saying, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to, Brother Su Qing.”

There was a tremor in Xia Baiyi’s voice, and her eyes quickly filled with tears, as if she was about to cry in the next second.

Clearly, she also understood the teenager’s temperament.

“It’s okay, it will dry soon.” The original owner of the body had some patience when dealing with boyfriends and girlfriends. It wasn’t enough to get angry over such a trivial matter. Ruan Qing avoided Xia Baiyi’s hand, took the towel handed over by Mo Ran, and wiped it off.

The water wasn’t much; it just dampened a small area and would dry soon.

After Ruan Qing finished wiping, he saw that tears had already streamed down Xia Baiyi’s face. He took out a tissue and wiped her tears, saying, “Alright, don’t cry. It’s not pretty when you cry. My girlfriend must be the most beautiful.”

Only then did Xia Baiyi smile, while Mo Ran’s gaze turned completely gloomy.

Ji Zhiyuan had just returned to Class 1 and discreetly walked to the side with a few players to share the information he had received last night.

A tall player frowned after listening and said, “So you’re saying they’re planning to bully those three people in this basketball game?”

Ji Zhiyuan paused and nodded, “That’s right.”

The player with a crew cut next to them was somewhat speechless and said, “There are only ten people in a basketball game, and it turns out that seven of them are actors, all just to bully three people. Is that Su Qing guy out of his mind?”

Ji Zhiyuan remained silent and silently glanced at the teenager on the other end of the basketball court.

At this moment, the teenager was being surrounded in the center, blocked off tightly, unable to see clearly what was happening or catch a glimpse of the teenager’s figure.

The tall player pondered for a moment and finally spoke up, “To avoid any unexpected incidents, the three students playing should be from our group first. At least that way, we can ensure that no one gets into trouble.”

Even if the ghost was bound to appear, it would be better for them to show up later, as battling them was always much more dangerous.

The other players had no objections. They were much more skilled than these high school students and didn’t have the same strong sense of pride as the high school students who insisted on confronting the school bully head-on. All they needed to do was go along with the other side and pretend to be bullied.

At least they would get through this basketball game first.

The player with the crew cut looked at everyone and asked, “Which three should go?”

As the player with the crew cut finished speaking, the other players looked at each other and eventually turned their gazes to the handsome man standing next to them.

The man seemed somewhat indifferent, his face expressionless as he flipped through a tattered notebook he had somehow obtained, seemingly not paying any attention to their conversation.

The tall player looked at the man and politely asked, “Will God Pei be playing?”

“No,” Pei Yan didn’t even raise his head, continuing to look at the notebook in his hand, showing no interest in dealing with the school bully and his scumbag ex-boyfriend.

The other players immediately ignored Pei Yan upon hearing his response and continued discussing with their heads down. Within less than a minute, they had reached a consensus on which three people should go on the court.

However, their decision was rejected when it was time to go on.

Because Xiao Shiyi directly designated a classmate to go on instead.

It was the classmate who knocked Su Qing down yesterday. It was none other than Song Yu.

Song Yu was also in Class 1 of Grade 1, and his academic performance had always been ranked first in the entire grade, with a considerable lead over the second-place student.

And the second-place student happened to be Xiao Shiyi.

If Su Qing was the school bully, then Xiao Shiyi was the classroom bully of Class 1; no one dared to challenge him.

Although Song Yu didn’t look too good at the moment, there was no classmate speaking up for him.

Several players had no choice but to replace one of their teammates in the end.

The tall player and the player with a crew cut on the court exchanged a subtle glance, reaching an agreement.

That was to protect Song Yu.

This NPC named Song Yu not only knocked down the school bully, Su Qing but also outperformed Xiao Shiyi in academics, which clearly made him special.

Moreover, the most important thing was that most of the players were in Class 1 of Grade 1. This could not be explained by mere coincidence.

You should know that there were twenty-six classes in Grade 1, and it’s unlikely for so many players to be in Class 1 if it the selection was random.

Therefore, there must be something crucial in this Class 1 of Grade 1, and they decided to protect their classmates in this class as much as possible.

The basketball game was about to begin, and the five players from Class 1 were already here, but the five players from Class 26 had not appeared yet.

They were still standing in a circle over there, doing something unknown.

However, no one dared to rush the players from Class 26. They quietly stood on the basketball court, waiting.

Xiao Shiyi, who was standing at the front, furrowed his eyebrows slightly, wondering what’s going on?

Just as he was about to walk over, the people opposite finally dispersed.

Five players wearing red jerseys slowly walked onto the basketball court.

The players on the other side, as well as the two horror game players on the court, finally got a clear view of the five players on the opposite side, including the arrogant and arrogant-looking teenager standing at the front.

The two of them immediately became stunned, taking several seconds to react. Then, they turned their heads abruptly, looking towards Ji Zhiyuan behind them, their eyes filled with disbelief and suspicion.

It seemed as if they were asking Ji Zhiyuan if it was true as they had thought.

Ji Zhiyuan, feeling the gaze of the two players, touched his nose and nodded slightly.

The two players: “!!!!” What the f***!

Was this really happening?!

Could anyone just become a school bully these days?!
