Chapter 148

Chapter 148

Once students reach their third year of high school, even physical education classes become precious. PE teachers don’t make things difficult for their third year students. As soon as class starts, they let them do as they wish. Boys usually play basketball or other games; girls, aside from sports, usually sit in groups of threes or fives to chat. There would also be one or two young couples walking along the small grove of trees where there are less people.

Before Lin Qingyu came, Jiang Xing usually spent his PE classes, either sleeping or or being dragged to play basketball by the PE rep. Now that Lin Qingyu was here, he wanted to teach his wife to play table tennis.

After arriving in the modern world, Lin Qingyu learned that table tennis was a strength of his current country. Most men and women, young and old, could play the game. And so, he felt that he too needed to learn it.

When he was in Dayu, Lin Qingyu wore wide sleeves and long robes. Let alone do any sports, he never even walked fast. Now, he has short hair and wore the same high school uniform as Jiang Xing. Holding the racket, he lowered his center of gravity. He looked even more focused than the a hot-blooded sports anime protagonist.Finnd new chapters on nove/lbin(.)com

Lin Qingyu’s learning ability did not only apply to book smarts. Jiang Xing only taught him for ten minutes but he could already play a few rounds with Jiang Xing. It was just that because he was a newbie, his movements were a little awkward and he often couldn’t control his strength well. Jiang Xing was committed to being a novice village sparring partner. The balls he hits to Lin Qingyu were just right in terms of direction and strength. There was no need to run or judge to hit them back.

After dozens of rounds, Jiang Xing couldn’t help yawning. Lin Qingyu said, “Can you play seriously?”

Jiang Xing said innocently, “I am practicing with you seriously.”

“You don’t need to let me win. Just show your real strength.”

Jiang Xing hesitated, “I’ve been playing table tennis for more than a decade. You’re just a beginner. It would be fair to use all my strength against you.”

Lin Qingyu insisted, “But I want you to.”

Jiang Xing shrugged. “Okay.” He had the opportunity to show off in front of Lin Qingyu, so why not?

So, Jiang Xing showed Lin Qingyu his backhand push, his forehand drive and his topspin. The balls hit spots that were extremely tricky and with such force and speed that his opponent couldn’t react at all.

After failing to return the ball several times in a row, Lin Qingyu could no longer bear it. “Jiang Xing.”

Jiang Xing picked up the ball and dribbled it while trying not to laugh. “Didn’t you tell me to show my real strength?”

Lin Qingyu was silent for a couple of seconds. He couldn’t help asking a soul-searching question, “How does a man like you have a wife?”

Jiang Xing couldn’t help laughing. “You’ll have to ask yourself that, Qingyu. Why were you willing to marry me?”

Lin Qingyu was a competitive person. He was feeling a little depressed at being unable to beat his husband at table tennis but it didn’t stop him from telling the truth, “Of course it’s because I like you. Or maybe I made a mistake wasting myself on you?”

They were an old couple who have been married three times. But when Jiang Xing heard Lin Qingyu’s words, his heartbeat couldn’t help but skip a beat. He walked around the table and came to Lin Qingyu’s side. Blocking their faces with his racket, he then lowered his head and gently kissed Lin Qingyu’s lips.

“I like you more.”

At this time, a wail suddenly sounded on the basketball court. The two looked over and saw that the boys who had been playing were now gathered together. Jiang Xing said, “That scream just now sounded like the sports rep.”

“Let’s go and have a look.”

The two went to the basketball court. The PE representative, with the help of another male student, walked over to them. His face had on a miserable expression. One arm was hanging unnaturally. Jiang Xing asked, “What’s wrong?”

“He accidentally hit his arm while playing basketball. His shoulder seems to be dislocated.” The boy said, “I’ll take him to the infirmary.”

Jiang Xing spent three minutes doing an English cloze test. He was a little tired. He looked up and saw that his desk mate was solving complicated physics electromagnetism problems. The way he pondered the problem with his long eyelashes drooping made Jiang Xing want to kiss him very much.

Jiang Xing restrained his desire and waited patiently for Lin Qingyu to calculate the answer. Lin Qingyu noticed the gaze coming from beside him and said, “What?”

Jiang Xing twirled his pen. He couldn’t help but move closer. “I also want to be examined by Dr. Lin.”

Lin Qingyu looked at Jiang Xing. “You’re very healthy.”

“Not really.” Jiang Xing frowned, “To be honest, I’ve been very anxious recently and have been having nightmares at night.”

Lin Qingyu sneered, meaning: I don’t believe you. He sleeps with Jiang Xing every night and knew very well how soundly Jiang Xing sleeps. Even if Shen Huaishi were to sing loudly in the bathroom, he probably wouldn’t be able to wake Jiang Xing.

Jiang Xing continued to pretend. “It’s true, I’m not lying to you.” Jiang Xing grabbed Lin Qingyu’s hand and put it on his chest, “Empress, listen to whether I am anxious or not...”

Lin Qingyu was both angry and amused. In order not to affect the students around him, he whispered, “That’s enough – let go. How can you fool around in class? How old do you think you are?”

“How can this be fooling around?” Jiang Xing said with a smile, “Aren’t you a doctor? Doctors can treat illnesses. You should go see a doctor if you’re sick.”

At this time, a bone-chilling voice came from the direction of the classroom door. “Jiang Xing! Lin Qingyu!”

Both of them looked up. They saw the head teacher standing at the door of the classroom with a bag in her hand. Her eyes were as big as copper bells and her laser-like gaze seemed to poke holes into them.

“What are you two doing during self-study class!”

Lin Qingyu automatically answered, “Studying.”

“Studying while holding hands like that?”

Jiang Xing said, “I am teaching him the method of Lenz’s law.”

The head teacher bluntly exposed, “In the last monthly exam, Lin Qingyu scored two points higher than you in physics.”

Jiang Xing knew that he could not deceive the teacher, so he simply admitted his mistake, “Teacher, I was wrong, I’m sorry.”

The head teacher was very disappointed. Shaking her head, she said, “You two, come to my office after school.”

Jiang Xing, who did not want to implicate Lin Qingyu, stood up and tried to salvage the situation. “But, Teacher...”

“You still have it in you to say ‘but’?” The head teacher had a clear understanding of the situation in the class. She had also heard from the other students how Jiang Xing claimed to be an emperor. “But what? But you’re the emperor?”

Jiang Xing: “...”

Lin Qingyu: “... Ha.”

The head teacher said coldly, “Even the emperor has to come to my office!”
