Chapter 158

“Are there two Xu Lins?”

Just as he stood up, he saw another sophomore boy standing up not far away, and Ye Fanleng smiled too.

“Alright, it’s just you two, come up.”

Xu Lin walked up to the stage like this. When he passed by the boys’ team, he heard them whispering.

“Close contact, I want that too.”

“No problem, when we pick up the shoes later, we can ask for an autograph, she won’t refuse.”

“You’re brilliant.”

But as Xu Lin walked onto the stage, many students below were stunned by his appearance, especially the girls.

“Who’s this handsome guy? How come we didn’t notice such a handsome guy in our school before!?”

“Yeah.”

“As for Xu Lin, I just saw him sitting with that Ji Yun, the same one with Zhang Kang...”

“Oh, oh, I remember now. There seemed to be some friction between them this morning.”

“That’s the guy from the ad shoot, right!”

“Ah? Seems like it! I heard he was a student from our school a while back, didn’t think it was true!”

“But he’s really handsome! Not the greasy kind of handsome like a celebrity, just naturally good-looking, like a character created in a video game.”

“Yeah.”

Listening to the discussions around her, Ji Yun’s lips curved into a smile, but then she clenched her fist and muttered to herself.

“Don’t be so handsome, really...”

Another Xu Lin felt a bit awkward, but in front of so many people, he could only stand there smiling awkwardly.

The two of them stood beside the shoes, and then Xu Lin took the list and started calling out the first name.

“Li Hanna!” Xu Lin glanced at the first name. It wasn’t pinyin, but having Hanna as the first one was really out of the ordinary!

Then a girl with braided hair ran up, and Xu Lin picked up the shoes corresponding to her size and handed them to her.

She took the shoebox, her big eyes staring at him for several seconds, making him a bit embarrassed too.

Finally, she smiled apologetically and quickly walked towards Ye Fanleng.

“Ms. Ye, hello, can you sign for me?”

“Hmm? Well, I can, but if I sign for you, everyone will want it. Although I’m fine with it, it’ll take up too much time.”

“Alright~” The girl pursed her lips, feeling a bit disappointed.

“It’s okay, you’re the first one, I’ll sign for you. But for the others behind you, don’t come to me, so everyone can get their shoes faster.”

“Okay!”

Afterwards, none of the students went to get Ye Fanleng’s signature anymore. At most, they just shook hands, and they were all girls.

The guys were eager just now, but none of them even approached, nervously glanced, and then hurriedly left.

“If General Manager Ye comes again, we will eagerly participate!”

“This student here, I will be leaving Linshui tomorrow noon, hoping to see everyone’s excellent performance.”

“For more details, please listen to your class teachers. Thank you all for taking time off from studying today to listen to me chat. See you all tomorrow.”

“Let’s give General Manager Ye a round of applause.” The principals also shouted as they came over, and the students below applauded as well.

Ye Fanleng slowly stepped back into the background, and the principal came to chat for a few more moments before announcing the adjournment!

Everyone stood up with chairs and placed shoe boxes on the chairs. According to the arrangement, they left in an orderly manner, one class after another.

A few minutes later, when it was Xu Lin’s class’s turn, they also started to leave, but halfway through, the line broke up, and a group of people began to playfully mess around with the chairs.

As they reached the stairs, Xu Lin saw the ominous figure again, and Li Bin immediately rushed up.

“Zhang Kang, do you still want trouble?!”

“I didn’t cause trouble. I apologized and accepted punishment. My parents have been informed, and it’s over.”

Zhang Kang waved his hand indifferently, maintaining his nonchalant demeanor, while Xu Lin also looked at him.

“Then you weren’t looking for me, so we’ll be on our way.”

“No, I came to find you.”

“And you say you’re not here to cause trouble!?” Ma Zhiyu slammed the chair down with a snap.

“Even if the teacher comes, it’s fine. I came to challenge you. There’s a competition tomorrow between classes, and it’ll be a civilized competition between us.”

He glanced at Xu Lin provocatively, but Xu Lin almost burst out laughing; what childish, adolescent notion was this?

“I’m not participating.”

“Are you scared now?”

“Are you in elementary school? Watched too much TV, huh? I’m outta here!”

Xu Lin waved his hand, ignoring him directly and headed upstairs.

Ma Zhiyu and the others hurried to catch up, and the sports committee member, He Run, also patted him on the shoulder and said, “Although he’s an athlete, but I’m also quite good, let me deflate his spirit tomorrow!”

“Xu Lin, you’re really not participating? You’ve even got a new pair of good shoes.”

“I’ll think about it, it’s not like it’s a very serious competition anyway, I’ll just run if I feel like it.”

“Fair enough.”

“But I’m not participating for any other reason; I just think it’s too cruel to others, not very nice.”

“...”

“?”

“?”
