His goal was to humiliate me, so he wouldn’t join an extra game for no reason and waste stamina.
So the chance to play class 2-4 next week will definitely belong to class 2-3.
It was an opportunity bestowed by the gods that I have to grasp if I don’t want to drink Fu Yan Jie.
But Niu ShiLi spraining his ankle wasn’t necessarily a good thing for me. It would be a pipe dream for us to win against class 2’s Shen ShaoYi and Liu HuaiShui without a solid player like Niu ShiLi.
That’s why I was hoping his injury would be healed right away after we win against class 4.
Sigh, everyone always says you can’t always have everything you want, but we’re always so greedy when it comes to ourselves.
Is it impossible for me to beat class 2 and take the championship for our grade and not drink Fu Yan Jie at the same time?
After the basketball game ended, I ran to the volleyball courts as fast as possible to see if I could catch the ending of the game and get a glimpse of the class leader’s legs.
But everyone had already left.
Only a 2m high volleyball net stood trembling in the slight wind. I heard the net should be 2.15m high for middle school girls.
The school should be using the latest “Volleyball Competition Rules” issued by the country’s General Administration of Sports. The tournament uses the two wins out of three sets to determine the victor. The first two sets is first to 25 points while to final set is first to 15 points.
Ah, what am I saying?
My immeasurable disappointment made me ramble.
Since they had both Shu Sha and Xiong YaoYue. They were able to beat their weak opponents 2 – 0 in less than 30 minutes.
If I came to take a look during half time, I still might have caught a glimpse of the class leader. But now I only see empty space.
Apparently the class leader was embarrassed wearing the volleyball shorts, but since everyone was wearing them and it was part of the international volleyball uniform, she still followed the regulations. In the end, it was a feast for the eyes of the boys surrounding the game (damn it, why couldn’t I get a part of that action).
But the class leader specified she didn’t want anyone taking her pictures. A few of the class leader’s loyal dogs from class 2-3 diligently prevented people from taking pictures. Eunuch Cao was someone who got beat up by them.
However, when they saw class 2-2’s Li ErLeng come watch the game with a camera, none of the loyal dogs had the courage to go and control him.
The class leader immediately wore a pair of long pants over her shorts once the game ended and caused a wave of sighs from the boys around her.
The simultaneous victory for the boys basketball team and the girls volleyball team raised a lot of talk in class 2-3. It still hadn’t died down when school had ended for the day.
“Hey hey, the class leader’s overhand serves are incredibly powerful! They won the first set with the class leader’s serves.”
“That’s true. The class leader specializes in flying tools.”
“The class leader and Xiong YaoYue’s double blocks and feints were mesmerizing.”
“Oh, did that happen? I was too focused on the class leader’s legs and didn’t notice any techniques…”
“Winnie’s legs look good too, why did you only focus on the class leader?”
“I can see Winnie’s legs everyday, but the class leader’s legs are only available for a limited time. It’s like when there are LOL champs that are free for a limited time.”
The class was filled with boys discussing her legs, but when the class leader got closer to scold them, they immediately began to discuss the the technicals of the game like their passes, serves, spikes, volleys, and more. It’s like they suddenly became volleyball commentators and the class leader couldn’t really say anything to them.
Ultimately, the class leader was pretty happy our class was able to take home two wins. She didn’t want to break the celebratory aura, so she was lenient towards the boys.
“I heard from Geng YuHong that you played pretty well.”
The class leader came to speak to me after expressing condolences to Niu ShiLi.
“It’s the result of everyone’s hard work.” I said modestly.
If I think about it, one reason why everyone trained so hard was because they wanted me to drink Fu Yan Jie. Fu Yan Jie became a source of motivation during their training period.
As their skills developed, they began to crave victory. Although their initial desires of wanting me to drink Fu Yan Jie hadn’t changed, they now wanted to go as far as possible in the tournament.
Their also in the same predicament as me where they have to choose between two options. Should they prevent me from scoring more points, or should they make more rational passes and work together to defeat the opponent. It’s up to them to decide which path they will take.
“Class leader, is the next basketball game and volleyball game also held at the same time?”
“That’s right. Otherwise I would be cheering you guys on along with the other girls. You guys must have been lonely today.”
The class leader replied with a large smile.
“Not really lonely, but I did want to go see your game…”
Shu Sha blushed. Since all the other boys were discussing her legs, she knew why I wanted to watch the game.
I remembered that my earliest arrangement with the class leader was that I could get free food at her house if we were number one in our grade. I also mentioned that if we could win against the other grades, she would give me more rewards.
The class leader replied at the time: “Let’s wait until you at least take first in our grade.”
Even though we only won once, I can’t help but imagine what would happen once we get first in the school.
What requests should I make where I wouldn’t get shot?
Should I go on a date with the class leader? We can go to a cafe, the movies, or an amusement park.
While I wouldn’t be shot, that request would definitely be rejected. It clearly goes against our school rules, and Shu Sha wouldn’t be the first to break the rules as a class leader.
I was suddenly struck by a bright idea as I remembered I couldn’t see the class leader in her volleyball uniform. Will the class leader take a photo with me in her volleyball uniform if I brought my team to number one in the school?
It doesn’t have to be at school, we could do it at her house. Since I’m going there for food, we could let Shu Zhe take the photo. His camera skills are quite good based on his self taken photos.
It’s not that unreasonable, but will the class leader agree?
“Will this affect next week’s game against class 4?” The class leader interrupted my delusions.
I glanced at the bandages wrapped around Niu ShiLi’s right foot. Chen YingRan might be a pervert, but she has good medical skills, and she specializes in injuries caused by physical exercise. I often see her reading books such as ‘Emergency Rescue in a Gym’ or ‘How to Protect the Career of an Athlete’, probably so she could get even closer to shota.
“It should be fine. Class 4 wasn’t that strong and they lost two of their best players. As long as I don’t get injured, we should be able to win with ease.”
“That’s good.” the class leader nodded, “Please be careful and don’t get injured.”
“Alright.” I agreed, but felt her words sounded strange. Why did she have to be so polite, why couldn’t she say, “I’ll be sad if you get hurt”.
I really want to hear the class leader say something like that.
“I’ll be sad if Ye Lin classmate gets hurt”.
Xiao Qin had suddenly appeared between me and the class leader and spoke in a coy voice.
The class leader left awkwardly.
Xiao Qin smiled and said:
“Ye Lin classmate, it’s Friday. I’ll take you to a restaurant tonight and we can celebrate today’s anniversary.”
“Anniversary of what?”
“Did you forget? It’s our 46 day anniversary. To commemorate the 46 days since I became your girlfriend.”
“What’s there to celebrate?”
Xiao Qin pouted, “Why can’t we celebrate it? I also want to celebrate the 47th day, 48th day, 49th day….”
