Chapter 393: Thanks to Alliance Leader Yunmeng Ningxiao Han for the Alliance Leader Tip
It's in.
Jiang Nian ran around the pitch for a stretch, and his eyes welled up a little.
Damn it, without me we'd definitely lose!
But facing his teammates charging over excitedly to celebrate, Jiang Nian still forced out a smile and said, completely insincerely, "Holy shit, you guys are awesome!!"
Hearing this, the few Class Three players on the field were instantly fired up. The kidney-deficient guy grinned, laughing away like a pack of goofy pups.
Holy crap, we're all so awesome.
"Ahhh!" Lin Yuxi grabbed her high school freshman bestie and shook her nonstop. "Look! The upperclassman is amazing!"
The freshman girls swayed back and forth, about to collapse.
"Ah, my head is so dizzy!"
Lin Yuxi had a lively personality, like a restless particle of midsummer; her chat stickers were all that extremely young and cute kind.
Too bad Jiang Nian barely paid her any attention. She'd clearly mastered the art of playing it cool, yet had nowhere to put it to use.
"Sorry, sorry, I got too excited for a moment."
"It's fine—so that's the upperclassman you like?" The girl steadied her head and looked at Jiang Nian, dashing and full of spirit on the field.
Suddenly, her face flushed red.
"Oh, he's actually pretty handsome, I suddenly feel like..."
"You're not allowed to feel anything!!" Lin Yuxi grabbed the girl's face and kneaded it. "Besties have to guard the bestie code!"
"The bestie code's starting to slip a little." The girl giggled.
"What are you even saying!" Lin Yuxi's face went red on the spot, set ablaze by her bestie's vocabulary.
One can only say, when girls go wild, there's nothing left for the boys to do.
After the brief celebration, the match continued.
Class Four.
Xu Qianqian rested her chin on her hand, a little annoyed. Their homeroom teacher was clearly sick in the head, not letting a single person in the class skip self-study.
Even those participating in the class match weren't allowed to go down and watch.
Because someone had been late again in the morning and got caught by the year-level head standing at the teaching building entrance, costing the class points.
To vent, the homeroom teacher had simply put Class Four under lockdown.
On a normal day, she couldn't care less about the lockdown. She had no interest in outdoor activities anyway—better to do more problems.
But... today was some big-shot basketball player's first football match, and she'd already promised Jiang Nian yesterday that she'd go watch.
Although he was utterly shameless and annoyingly flirty, she had given her word after all.
The things he'd promised, he'd almost never broken.
Xu Qianqian thought of this, her brows furrowing involuntarily. Listening to the restless chatter in the classroom, her mood grew increasingly irritated. At dusk, golden light flowed through the classroom. The girl lifted her head in vexation, honey-colored light refracting in her eyes.
Suddenly, a sharp, long whistle came from the sports field. Then
came a wave of cheers that drowned out the sky.
Xu Qianqian's pupils dilated slowly, and she whipped her head toward the sports field.
"Holy shit, it already started?"
"It didn't just start, my friend said they freaking scored!"
The class got restless too; a few boys even got straight out of their seats, walked to the window, and pressed themselves against it.
"No way, it's only been a few minutes and they already scored? That's a bit much, isn't it? Which class is playing down there?"
"The science Olympiad civil war, Class Three and Class One."
"It's not a few minutes, it's one minute! They said the rules are super loose, the ball flew half the pitch, and the goal counted.
"Holy shit, one minute!"
A few Class Four guys who'd been playing ball for years recalled the terror of getting their faces rubbed in it by Class Three yesterday.
Young men were already fired up, and hearing the other side had scored in one minute, the pressure and resentment exploded completely at this moment.
"Damn it, the homeroom teacher is such an idiot, she doesn't give a crap about the class match. She can't even figure out the freaking rules, how are we supposed to play!"
"What's the point of staying for self-study, let's go down and watch!"
"Yeah, otherwise we won't have any prep. When it's our turn for the class match, we'll definitely get caught off guard.
The boys in the class match grew more and more agitated as they talked, and simply ignored the class cadre's warning, swaggering downstairs without a care.
Among them, one or two girls went down too.
A bold idea suddenly surfaced in Xu Qianqian's mind; she turned to look at Song Xiyun, who was doing problems, pressed her lips together "Run!" Shao Ziheng clapped his hands.
Yuan Zhengchuan was already struggling; Class Three had scored two goals in a row. The pressure on them had exploded, and the whole team was panting like cattle.
Yet the first half wasn't even half over, and his own class's players were already showing signs of severe physical exhaustion.
If they kept playing like this, they'd get shut out, no question.
Besides, his former classmate Lin Dong was marking him pretty tight. The moment he got the ball, Lin Dong would come in with a sliding tackle. After multiple sliding tackles, Yuan Zhengchuan was completely speechless.
"Bro, let me off, I beg you."
Lin Dong said nothing, just kept his head down and slid in. Like a diligent and hardworking Power King, the moment he saw Yuan Zhengchuan receive the ball, he tackled.
Bro is chubby, that's just how the motorcycle clan warriors roll!
Sliding tackle!
Fortunately, Yuan Zhengchuan somehow muddled through a press and passed the ball to a teammate. When he looked up again, Shao Ziheng had already taken the shot.
His head was already a mess; he only breathed a sigh of relief when the score reached two to one.
However, he hadn't noticed.
Jiang Nian, originally playing striker, had long since dropped back to the defensive midfielder position, constantly passing to teammates and creating shooting opportunities.
Just because Zhennan Middle School didn't have many people who could kick
a ball, the rules of the match were relatively loose, and Class Three was already considered a strong team.
If they had wanted to win, they would have shut them out earlier.
"Don't be afraid, we've already pulled one back." Shao Ziheng encouraged his teammates. "One more and the score is tied!"
"Run! Don't walk!"
Just as Shao Ziheng was full of confidence, preparing to lead his teammates to equalize the score, he suddenly noticed the other side starting to attack again.
Jiang Nian made a pass, sending out a curved ball,
and with uncanny precision it landed right at Li Hua's feet. Almost without hesitation, Li Hua chose to push and shoot.
This time, the goddess of fortune briefly smiled upon Li Hua.
Wheee—!!
The long whistle for a valid goal rang across the field. Class Three, with a 3-1 advantage, scored the killing blow to win the match, and the field erupted in cheers.
Shao Ziheng was dumbfounded, his face full of grievance. He hadn't even fully shown his strength, yet the other side had taken the game through teamwork.
"No way, these rules are way too loose!"
"I told you not to walk, not to walk! Run! You just had to stroll along slowly, not defending at all!"
Unable to hold back, Shao Ziheng opened his mouth and started blasting Class One's players.
"I'm talking about you, Yuan Zhengchuan!"
Yuan Zhengchuan was already exhausted, and losing the match didn't put him in any better mood. Hearing this, he couldn't hold back his temper either.
"Oh you're great? You let them score within a minute!"
"You f***ing....."
Unlike Class One's squabbling after losing, Class Three was completely immersed in the ocean of joy that came with winning.
Just as Jiang Nian had said the night before last, he wouldn't hog that glory all to himself.
Of the three goals, he only accounted for one-third.
"Dang, here comes the hero!"
"Come on, Aluba Li Hua, let's celebrate the victory."
"Stones, stones!!" Li Hua took to his legs and ran, not daring to stay put for a second. "You bunch of creeps, I'm out!"
""
Jiang Nian strolled leisurely toward the crowd. Before he even reached his own class's base camp, he suddenly saw two figures running over.
"Senior!!" Lin Yuxi was panting, her face a little flushed, her eyes shining. "We won, you're amazing!"
"Why are you here?" Jiang Nian glanced left and right. "Didn't I tell you not to come? My girlfriend gets pretty jealous."
Hearing this, the girl beside Lin Yuxi froze on the spot.
Huh? This guy has a girlfriend?
Then shhh, isn't that being the other woman knowingly? A person shouldn't, at the very least... play it this big, they'll get beaten up.
"Stop lying! Humph!" Lin Yuxi was unhappy. "Where would you have a girlfriend? Senior just radiates the smell of a single dog."
"Do I?" Jiang Nian tugged at his shirt, lowered his head, and sniffed. "What does a single dog smell like? I don't smell anything."
Taking advantage of the joking moment, he glanced into the distance.
Zhang Ningzhi was already staring straight at him. The sky was a little dark, the light dim, hard to see clearly.
But Jiang Nian only felt as if needles were pricking his back.
So full of hatred, Baby Zhizhi.
To avoid really getting stabbed three times with six holes and dying at the hands of yandere Zhizhi, he coughed, thinking to wrap up the topic quickly.
"Well, uh, I'm a little hungry, bye-bye."
"Then let me treat Senior to something to eat!" Lin Yuxi said cheerfully. "Whatever you want to eat is fine! I'll pay!"
"Then let me treat you, Senior, to something to eat!" Lin Yuxi said with a delighted look. "Anything you want to eat is fine! I'm paying!"
How come all of you are this rich?
Just as Jiang Nian was dumbfounded, he suddenly saw Xu Qianqian and Song Xiyun walking over, so he waved and said.
"Next time for sure, Classmate Lin."
Saying so, he walked past Lin Yuxi, changed direction, and headed toward Xu Qianqian. He also glanced at Song Xiyun and asked curiously.
Saying so, he stepped past Lin Yuxi, changed direction, and walked toward Xu Qianqian. He also glanced at Song Xiyun and asked curiously.
"Just taking a stroll." Xu Shao's mouth was, as always, as hard as the floor.
"We skipped self-study to come down, our homeroom teacher wouldn't let us out." Song Xiyun explained from the side.
"Awesome, awesome, skipping self-study to take a stroll." Jiang Nian was impressed. "When did you get here? Too bad you didn't come earlier."
"I know you scored, stop showing off." Xu Qianqian rolled her eyes. "Oh right, who was that just now?"
"A junior from Year One, after my looks." Jiang Nian told the truth. "I told her I have a girlfriend, she just wouldn't believe it."
"It's not even nighttime yet, how are you already dreaming?" Xu Qianqian laughed. "Not a single true word—when did you ever have a girlf....."
Halfway through her sentence, Xu Qianqian suddenly froze.
Recalling how Jiang Nian had walked straight toward her without hesitation, a thought couldn't help but surface in her mind.
By doing that, wasn't he saying she was his girlfriend?
If he did that, wouldn't it be saying that she was his girlfriend?
Her face flushed red in an instant, and she said in a fluster.
"You...... you go find your junior, I'm..... we'll go eat..... eat first. Bye-bye,
"You... you go find your junior sister, we... we'll go eat... eat first. Bye-bye,
"Idiot!"
After saying that, Xu Qianqian grabbed Song Xiyun and ran off.
Jiang Nian was baffled at the sight, wondering why they had just run off. He had still wanted to listen to Xu Qianqian and the other girl praise him a little.
When the crowd poured into the court, he hadn't avoided anyone at all while chatting with Xu Qianqian.
When Jiang Nian returned to Class Three's base camp, he found at least ten or so gazes gathered on him, some puzzled, some resentful.
Li Hua finds it hard to hold it in, not afraid.
A brother living in hardship is fine; what I fear is a brother driving a Range Rover.
"No way, a girl actually asked you for your WeChat?"
