C57 – Coach Wang’s Doubt

Wang Yangming, upon hearing this, deliberated on the matter, his countenance betraying his disappointment.

“Sigh! Very well, then.”

“This young lad, his intelligence took me by surprise.”

“Very well, Principal Guo, please proceed with your duties.”

With those words, Wang Yangming departed, escorted by Principal Guo, his spirits deflated.

As he left the principal’s office, Wang Yangming couldn’t help but dwell on Jiang Hao’s extraordinary basketball talent, finding it hard to come to terms with.

......

In Grade 12 Class 8, Jiang Hao, also known as Ren Lao, was peacefully dozing at his desk. No one took offense; instead, they regarded him with admiration and reverence.

Observing Jiang Hao, it was evident that he effortlessly topped the four-school joint exams daily, even while dozing, leaving his peers lagging far behind, no matter how diligently they worked.

Truly, geniuses defied all logic!

At that moment, Wang Yangming entered the Grade 12 Class 8 classroom.

A hushed murmur swept through the room instantly. Everyone was aware of the conversation between Wang Yangming and Jiang Hao.

“Coach Wang went to see the principal. I wonder if the principal agreed.”

“I doubt the principal would agree. How could Jiang Hao, the top scorer in the four-school joint exam, be designated as an athlete?”

“Maybe the principal didn’t recognize that it was Jiang Hao and granted approval?”

......

After taking a couple of steps, he suddenly pivoted, his brows furrowed with apparent curiosity.

“Jiang Hao, may I ask you something?”

Jiang Hao was momentarily taken aback but quickly regained his composure.

“Of course, go ahead.”

Wang Yangming hesitated briefly before speaking.

“I’ve noticed you sleep often, yet your academic performance is exceptional. What’s your secret?”

Wang Yangming’s question resonated with the thoughts of all the students in the room.

Many students also looked at Jiang Hao expectantly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao paused briefly but soon grasped the context.

Wang Yangming must have learned about his top ranking in the joint exam among the four schools.

Yet, how should he respond to this question?

Could he claim to have a hidden advantage?

Such a claim would be met with disbelief.

A faint smile played on the corner of Jiang Hao’s lips as he regarded Wang Yangming’s puzzled expression.

“Coach Wang, geniuses are seldom understood.”

Wang Yangming’s eyes reflected a mix of comprehension and astonishment upon hearing this response.

Observing Jiang Hao’s self-assured demeanor, he nodded and departed.
