Chapter 97: One thing suppresses another...
They walked to the cafeteria for dinner, chatting non-stop.
"Awesome! Ah Ren, you didn't see Huang Xujie's face just now, it was uglier than a turd!" Zhao Jiayu exclaimed excitedly as she walked.
"My god, we still have to eat later, Zhao Lao Da, can't you just be nice for once?" Cao Ronghua shouted.
"It's really cool!" Zhao Jiaxin gestured with his hands and feet, "I still remember when we met at Hongji's restaurant last time, this guy was arrogant like anything, today, those students withdrew from the club, he didn't even dare to make a sound!"
Hao Ren just smiled and didn't seem as excited as Zhao Jiaxin. But actually... he was thrilled in his heart!
If they had made Zhao Jiaxun fall and almost caused a danger, Hao Ren would not have taken the opportunity to interfere with the rock climbing club's arbitrary charging of fees!
Of course, he also knew that Huang Xujie didn't make a sound today because Xie Wanjun was present. Even Xie Wanjun spoke out and said he wasn't satisfied with the rock climbing club's charging method, so Huang Xujie could only swallow this bitter pill for now!
"But Ah Ren, your rock climbing skills are really impressive! Have you practiced before?" Zhou Liren interrupted to ask.
"Practicing martial arts! I've only seen it on TV before." Hao Ren replied.
But he knew in his heart that when he was a naughty child living with his grandmother, the branches of the village wall had been climbed by him countless times.
"Those two single-arm spinning upward movements are simply awesome!" Zhou Liren exclaimed loudly.
Hao Ren broke out in a cold sweat. He was just casually climbing around, but Zhou Liren had managed to come up with "professional terminology" for it.
They chatted as they walked towards the cafeteria. After lunch, there was still a big class in the afternoon.
Hao Ren's victory over Huang Xu Jie at the rock climbing competition also gradually spread throughout the school. Especially the video of Hao Ren's last move in rock climbing, where he hung upside down with his hands and feet off the ground, alternately using one hand to pull himself up, and then jumping through the air to grab onto a fixed object, was crazily circulating among the students.
"It's the one sitting behind us, in the second-to-last row, wearing black clothes..."
"It's him, the Flying Emperor..."
Even in this public class attended by Hao Ren and Zhao Jiatong, there were many people who turned their heads to look at Hao Ren.
"His reputation has spread far and wide." Zhou Liren, who had the worst grades, unexpectedly squeezed out an idiom and sighed.
Hao Ren didn't bother to pay attention to these rumors and continued to focus on organizing his teaching materials. He still had no idea how Zhao Yanzi did in this mid-term exam...
Ding ding ding!
The bell rang for class dismissal.
The students who had been depressed for two hours rushed out of the classroom. Of course, there were also many girls who took advantage of the class break to glance back at Hao Ren, among whom some young freshmen with a bit of charm were not uncommon.
"Ah Ren, you're famous now! Maybe some beauties will chase after you!" Zhou Liren said with a mix of envy and jealousy.
As he was saying this, a fairly pretty girl dressed up walked over and handed Hao Ren a piece of paper. "This is my QQ number, I think you're quite impressive, let's chat online when you have time. I'm from the School of Business, freshman year."
After finishing, the slender girl turned around and walked towards the classroom door with a beautiful back view. Another girl outside the door curiously asked, "How was it... how was it..."
"Wah……" Zhou Liren and others who were experiencing this for the first time immediately started booing.
Hao Ren coughed twice, unfolded the note and took a look, thought for a moment, crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the trash can in front of him.
Zhou Liren didn't expect Hao Ren to make such a move and hastily shouted, "How could you throw it away! Such a beautiful and proactive little beauty!"
Hao Ren waved his hand somewhat impatiently, "Alright, alright, let's go!"
Zhou Liren gazed longingly at the black trash can, wishing he could go pick it up. But there were still students' leftover fruit in the trash can. Sticky and dirty, no matter how much he liked beautiful women, he couldn't bring himself to rummage through the trash.
If it were in the past, Hao Ren would have been a little surprised and excited about this kind of thing, at least thinking it was fun, and would go to an internet cafe to add the girl's QQ. However, now that he is famous, many students are full of interest in him, wanting to get to know him, but Hao Ren instead finds it very uninteresting.
After all, he is not Huang Xujie.
"You really have a girlfriend now?" Zhou Liren followed him out and asked behind Hao Ren.
"You're getting more and more nagging. From now on, if I receive any notes, I'll hand them over to you to deal with, okay?" Hao Ren said helplessly as he turned his head to look at him.
"Alright! Alright!" Unexpectedly, Zhou Liren nodded frantically, "From now on, I'll be your agent. If any pretty girl wants to pursue you, she has to get through me first!"
"Shameless!" Three fists from Hao Ren, Zhao Jiaxin and Cao Ronghua simultaneously landed on his face.
"But I think you and Xie Yu Jia are quite a match, and being in the same class, you know each other inside out. It's clear that she cares about you deeply." Zhao Jia Yin said as he walked beside Hao Ren.
"Hao Ren replied, "Who knows what the class monitor is thinking?" In fact, when Zhao Jiaxin was rock climbing, Xie Yuja, as the class monitor, was also a bit worried."
"Hey...... hey...... it's still our Ah Ren, who still likes the class monitor!" Cao Ronghua shouted.
Hao Ren shook his head. He didn't feel like arguing with them. These guys, they couldn't do anything right, but they always managed to mess things up. If it wasn't for their meddling and confessing on his behalf to the class monitor earlier, Hao Ren's relationship with Xie Yu Jia wouldn't have become so awkward.
He and Xie Yu Jia's relationship had just eased a bit, he really didn't want Zhao Jia Yun and those enthusiastic guys to intervene again.
For Xie Yu Jia, Hao Ren's admiration outweighs his affection. With excellent grades, a gentle and beautiful appearance, a tall and slender figure, efficient work, outstanding abilities, and occasionally some cute moments, even singing well, the class leader is destined to be the white swan in the eyes of many boys...
Seeing Hao Ren didn't want to dwell on the topic, Zhao Jiaxin changed the subject and shouted, "Anyway, it's still early, let's go play basketball!"
He failed to climb the rock today, but his sports addiction was hooked. Hao Ren didn't tell him that he might have succeeded in climbing today, it's just because they moved their hands and feet that they fell down, otherwise Zhao Jiayu would definitely be more depressed.
"Ah Ren is going too!" Zhao Jia Yu pulled him and shouted.
"I won't!" Hao Ren shook his head.
"Pass the ball, run with the ball. Just shoot!" Zhao Jiaxun punched Hao Ren's shoulder hard with his fist, showing his dissatisfaction.
"Let's go, let's go..." Thinking that he had been busy with his cultivation and preparing teaching materials for a long time, and hadn't played with them together for a while, Hao Ren felt a bit guilty, so he agreed.
It has to be said that Zhao Jiaxin's execution is very strong. He made a phone call and let Yu Rong and several others bring basketballs out of the dormitory, while he led Hao Ren and three others to occupy an outdoor basketball court. The people from both sides happened to gather at the B District Basketball Court.
Because of the last time's incident, the school has made a strict rule. So nowadays, people from the basketball team almost never appear on the outdoor basketball court. Of course, they have to face the match with Jinghua University next week, and since several main players were expelled, they are intensifying their training in the gym every day, which is also a reason.
Not far away from the basketball gym, the rock climbing club's recruitment activity that used to last all day has also been cancelled, and various tables and chairs have disappeared.
Hao Ren could imagine that after Huang Xujie returned, he would definitely be furious and didn't know how he would vent his anger on his own club.
Anyway, he had stirred up this hornet's nest before and didn't care about stirring it a few more times. Hao Ren didn't consider how Huang Xujie would deal with him and followed Zhao Jiateng to play basketball.
The match was played in a 4-on-4 format for half a game, with Zhao Jiaxin's dormitory on one side and Yu Rong's dormitory on the other.
Hao Ren is really not good at playing basketball, basically just passing the ball after receiving it. If he can't pass, he won't move with the ball and will just throw it towards the hoop. If it goes in, it's good luck; if not, Zhou Liren's height and Zhao Jiayu's crazy jumping ability would usually allow them to grab the rebound.
"Aren, don't just pass the ball! Dribble and move!" Zhao Jiayun, who had jumped up to grab six rebounds in a row, panted and shouted.
"Geez, I'm afraid of walking!" Hao Ren said, holding the ball and jumping up and down like a primary school student.
Zhao Jiaxin rolled his eyes, really couldn't do anything about him. However, he also had to admit that although Hao Ren wasn't good at fast breaks and dribbling, when there was no ball, his sense of running position was still pretty good, often allowing Zhao Jiaxin to get open space to pass out and then shoot.
But Hao Ren's shooting accuracy was really too poor. Most of them were three no-stick, occasionally hitting the backboard and rim, and then Zhou Liren would go to grab it, relying on his height advantage to score again.
Cao Ronghua, who was thin and weak, had a good shooting accuracy, but he lacked physical strength and couldn't fly around the court like Hao Ren. He could only stand still and wait for Hao Ren to pass the ball to him.
Gradually, Yu Rong and others found out that Hao Ren's three-point shot was not good, so they focused on defending Zhao Jiaxin and let Hao Ren shoot casually. After all, grabbing rebounds also requires physical strength, and after several rounds, the physical strength of Zhao Jiaxin and Zhou Liping was also worn down.
"Wow! Wow! Wow!" Seeing that the average basketball level of his dormitory was higher than Yu Rong's dormitory, but the score was still surpassed by them one after another, Zhao Jiaxin, who was impatient, shouted loudly.
Hao Ren held the basketball and saw that his three brothers were tightly locked up, unable to pass it out, so he could only shoot again. Sure enough, another three-pointer was made.
I told you I'm no good at basketball and would hold you back... Seeing Zhao Jiatian's murderous gaze, Hao Ren felt wronged.
At this moment, a dark cloud seemed to float in from the sky, and the bright sunlight was suddenly blocked.
Hao Ren looked up and didn't see dark clouds, but instead saw Xie Wanjun, majestic like a mountain, appearing behind him.
Zhao Jiayun and several others saw that things were not going well, hastily dropped the basketball and rushed over to surround Hao Ren.
The scene where Hao Ren beat up several members of the basketball team until they were crying out in disarray was still fresh in his mind. Now, the captain of that basketball team suddenly appeared with a dark face in an outdoor venue where he shouldn't be, what did it mean?!
