Hao Ren thought for a moment, turned around and walked out of the administrative building, then returned to the dormitory building.
And as he walked up and down the stairs and along the corridors, he found that all the boys he knew or didn't know were looking at him with a gaze that regarded him as an alien.
"Is that him? Su Han's rumored boyfriend? He outran Huang Xu Jie, and fought alone against half of the basketball team?"
"It doesn't look like it... It looks ordinary, but it's actually very powerful..."
They were behind Hao Ren, pointing and whispering to each other. No one had expected that this ordinary-looking Hao Ren, who would be drowned in a group of boys and was unknown in school, could actually beat the basketball team's guys who feared nothing, so badly that they didn't dare get up again.
And so this rumor, more or less, also entered Hao Ren's sharp ears. The description of the scene at that time was exaggerated and absurd as it spread.
Hao Ren ignored their comments and went straight back to the third floor. He was now concerned about Zhao Jiaxin's injury.
"Ah Ren, you single-handedly knocked down half of the basketball team's strong men?" Gu Jia Dong saw Hao Ren passing by his dormitory door and rushed out to ask in surprise.
It wasn't until Zhao Jiaxin went to the hospital and Hao Ren went to the administrative building that the story of how Hao Ren single-handedly intimidated several members of the school basketball team on the court, rendering them immobile with fear, finally spread to their off-campus dormitory area.
When Hao Ren returned from school, the news had already spread throughout Building 7 and the entire South District dormitory area.
"Has Zhao Jiaxun returned?" Hao Ren asked him.
"Not yet, but Yu Rong just called back and said the test results are out. Zhao Jiaxin's injuries are all superficial wounds, the most serious being a muscle strain on his right hand. Zhou Liren just has a slightly bruised eye corner, nothing else." Gu Jiadun replied.
Hearing this news, Hao Ren let out a slight sigh of relief. It seemed that Zhao Jia Chen was indeed thick-skinned and had not been seriously injured despite being surrounded and beaten by several people from the basketball team, living up to his reputation as the strongest in their dormitory.
"Oh, and there's another piece of news," seeing Hao Ren heading towards the 302 dormitory, Gu Jiatang pulled him back. "The basketball team had two minor fractures, one heel strain, and one back abrasion. Out of six people, four were injured. I didn't expect it to be more serious than what the class monitor said. However, this is the latest news that Yu Rong has heard, so it shouldn't be wrong."
Hao Ren was stunned, but didn't say anything.
It seems that the ones who suffered the most from this fight are still the basketball team. No wonder the captain of the basketball team, who usually stays in the training hall and rarely appears on campus, would personally go to find Vice Principal Lu Qing, with such a bad face. This matter will probably not end like this.
However, that group of people from the basketball team, relying on their special status, have been used to bullying ordinary students all along, and this time they got what was coming to them.
Hao Ren thought to himself.
He took out the dorm key, entered the dormitory, sat in front of his desk, and opened his textbook. However, facing these words, he couldn't concentrate at all. After all, such a thing had happened, and he couldn't remain calm.
Not long after, Zhao Jiaxin and Zhou Liren returned to their dormitory accompanied by Yu Rong and Xie Yujia.
When they saw Hao Ren leaning against the balcony reading a book, they couldn't help but feel that this guy was really calm.
"How are you? Nothing's wrong, is it?" Hao Ren asked as he saw Zhao Jia Chen and the others enter.
"It's nothing, just a pulled arm. I'll be fine after resting for a few days," Zhao Jiayu replied. After what happened today, he now looked at Hao Ren with some reverence in his eyes.
No one could have imagined that Hao Ren, who was usually very gentle and had a name that meant "good person", would be so fierce in a fight. Zhao Jiaxin, who had lived with Hao Ren in the same dormitory for a long time and knew his temper well, couldn't believe it even more.
"About the basketball team's situation, you already know, right?" Yu Rong walked over and asked Hao Ren.
"Uh-huh, I roughly understand." Hao Ren put the book back on his desk.
"The school basketball team has 12 people, and now 4 are injured. What's more, the injured ones are all the main players of the basketball team. Moreover, the timing of this incident is just two weeks before the basketball game between Donghai University and Jinghua University, so the school will definitely handle this matter seriously." Xie Yu Jia walked in front of Hao Ren, with a serious expression on her face.
She was a bit indignant in her heart. At this time, he could still read with such a calm expression, as if nothing had happened. She was worried about him for nothing.
"Ah Ren, this matter has nothing to do with you, it's all because of me. Whether it's punishment or dismissal, I'll take full responsibility!" Zhao Jiaxin said suddenly.
"Nonsense! I'm the one who got hurt, you were beaten by those basketball players, you're the victim, this has nothing to do with you!" Hao Ren stood up and said.
"And me!" Zhou Liren, with a black eye, stepped forward.
"I'm also to be punished, let's be punished together! Damn it, if we're going to take the blame, our 302 dormitory will take it together!" Cao Ronghua, who was usually gentle and refined, said fiercely.
"Alright! Stop arguing!" Xie Yu Jia raised her hand, interrupting them. "Anyway, I'll try my best to ease the situation at school, and you guys must not stir up any more trouble during this time!"
Zhao Jiayu listened with discontent, "What's meant by us stirring up trouble, it was clearly them..."
Seeing Zhao Jiaxin's voice getting louder, Hao Ren hastily pulled Zhao Jiaxin's arm, stopping him from continuing to speak. Then he said to Xie Yuja, "Then thank you, Class Monitor, for the trouble."
Xie Yu Jia gazed at Hao Ren, originally intending to continue scolding him, but choked back her words for half a second before finally letting out a sigh, "Sigh..."
She turned slightly and walked out of dormitory 302.
"Ah Ren, don't be afraid, at worst I'll get a demerit! Tomorrow I'll go find the instructor and explain things clearly. If I get a demerit, it's on me alone, this has nothing to do with you!" Zhao Jia Yu said, facing Hao Ren after Xie Yu Jia walked out.
It's not that simple... Hao Ren thought to himself.
What Xie Yujia said is not bad, this matter, if placed in ordinary times, may not be a big problem, at most an oral warning, but at the time when Donghai University and Jinghua University are about to hold a basketball game, such a thing happened, the problem becomes more complicated.
Jinghua University was the runner-up in last year's National College Basketball League, and its strength is comparable to that of Donghai University's basketball team. Last year's final match lost by only two points.
This year, they found Donghai University to hone their skills before the league officially started. It was undoubtedly a provocation between schools. If Donghai University lost such a game, it would undoubtedly hit the confidence and morale of the league. Therefore, both the basketball team itself and the school attached great importance to this match.
But at this critical moment, the main force of the school basketball team was actually injured by someone? This has become an extremely sensitive matter.
If the school wants to win the university league championship again this year, it must consider the attitude of the basketball team. Even if it is based on general thinking, in order to appease the basketball team, the school will tend towards the basketball team in handling this matter.
Moreover, Hao Ren also knew that the captain of the basketball team, who was usually only responsible for training and rarely participated in any school affairs, had also made a move.
This matter must be resolved!
