Chapter 33: Learning Wu Gong

Zhang Yinuo struggled and pushed my hand away, saying, "You said that? You'll do anything?"

I nodded quickly, indicating that I would.

"Fine, then you aren't allowed to ignore me from now on, and you have to make up for all the lessons you've missed these past few days!"

I nodded and hurried back to the classroom. If I stayed at the door any longer, I felt like I would immediately hit the school's forum headlines. After all, Zhang Yinuo's fame in school was on par with Su Xueya's. There were many people who wanted to woo them, but most people's target was Su Xueya, because Zhang Yinuo had a brother who was involved in the Heishe Society, and others didn't dare to make a move.

After returning to the classroom, Third Brother gave me a thumbs up and praised, "Old Fourth, you're something else. You settled that pretty fast. I thought you were going to be sad for a long time. Seeing you've recovered, I'm relieved!"

"What nonsense are you spouting? I'm annoyed to death; she's like a dog-skin plaster I can't shake off!" I cursed helplessly, then sighed, "But this is my fault too. If I hadn't done that to her back then, it wouldn't be like this."

"Hm? That kind of thing? What did you two do?" Third Brother Xu Hongzhi looked at me suspiciously, his expression slightly lewd.

"Get lost!"

I gave Third Brother one word, direct and decisive.

However, this matter really did become popular on the school forum just as I thought, and it was directly pinned. The title was: The Unknown Story Between Renowned School Beauty Zhang Yinuo and the Transfer Student.

Below it were some pictures, basically photos of me and Zhang Yinuo together in the classroom. It was clear they were taken by classmates. What was even worse were the comments.

"Explosive news, heard that the transfer student already kissed Zhang Yinuo."

"That's right, I was at the scene, I heard it too, and it seems like it was a forced kiss!"

"Damn, this transfer student is a beast. Damn it, kissing my goddess!"

"Who said that? I heard they already slept together, and it was a forced push-down. After pushing her down, the transfer student actually refused to take responsibility!"

"Truly an animal. Damn, I'm going to challenge him to a duel. This is just too excessive!"

"Everyone above is an idiot, confirmed. If it were true, that transfer student wouldn't be alive right now; he'd definitely be sunk into the river by Zhang Yinuo's brother!"

Seeing these comments, my face looked very ugly. Fortunately, the photo showed my profile, but it was still recognizable as me.

"Big Boss, please accept my knees!" Suddenly, someone rushed in front of me, hugged my thigh, and begged.

I was startled by this movement and hurriedly shook my leg: "Damn, what are you doing?"

"Big Boss, from now on you are my boss. Please, teach me your girl-chasing techniques. I want to take you as my master!" The person in front of me was rather fat, not very tall, and wore glasses—a typical standard fat otaku image.

"Speak properly, get up!" I had a headache.

"Big Boss, if you don't accept me, I won't get up!" The fatty rushed over and hugged my thigh again, begging.

"Fine, suit yourself. I'm going to study!" I said with an indifferent attitude.

"Then from now on, I'm bound to Big Boss. I'll grow on Big Boss's leg!" The fatty was still relentless.

"Damn, you're acting like a rascal, right? Do you believe I'll smack you?" I pointed at the fatty on the ground and shouted angrily.

Seeing my anger, the fatty hurriedly let go of my leg, bitterly begging: "Please, Big Boss, you must accept me!"

I looked at the fatty in front of me speechlessly, feeling like he was a lunatic. I was so annoyed by him that I was helpless: "If you really want to learn, don't talk, and just pay attention to what I do when you have nothing to do!"

Hearing my words, the fatty stood up happily: "Big Brother, my name is Wang Xiaopang. From now on, you are my Big Brother, and I'll follow you!"

I ignored his words and read my book calmly. After all, there were many lessons missed these past few days, and they couldn't be made up in a short time; it had to rely on the accumulation of time.

The next day, I woke up early. Third Brother Xu Hongzhi was still sleeping in, so I couldn't help but kick him and say: "Are you going to see that old beggar or not?"

Third Brother opened his eyes groggily, looked at me in a dilemma, and said: "Old Fourth, can you lend me ten yuan?"

"Get lost, the last twenty yuan I had was given to him yesterday. I have no money left!" I scolded him irritably.

"Nonsense, you have ten yuan in your schoolbag!" Xu Hongzhi said confidently.

I was very puzzled, took out my schoolbag to look, and threw it at him angrily: "Where is it? Look for yourself! Whatever you find is yours!"

Third Brother opened the schoolbag, took out the math textbook, flipped through it, and actually found ten yuan. I looked at him in disbelief: "That's not right, I don't remember hiding money in the book, and I don't have that habit either!"

"It was Zhang Yinuo who gave it to you. Yesterday, she saw you didn't eat much at noon, so she put ten yuan in your bag!" Xu Hongzhi put the ten yuan into his pocket without any hesitation.

"What are you doing? That's someone else's money, don't take it!" I rushed over to grab the ten yuan in his hand.

"You said it yourself, whatever I find is mine. You aren't allowed to go back on your word. I don't care whose it is, anyway I took it from your hand, and since she gave it to you, it's yours!" Xu Hongzhi held the ten yuan with a joyful expression.

I knew Third Brother's personality well; once this ten yuan reached his hands, it was definitely not coming back. I could only find a way to pay her back myself.

We arrived at the place where the old beggar was yesterday. Sure enough, he had already arrived, though I didn't know when.

The old beggar saw the two of us and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, you didn't arrive late. Young people waking up so early still have some perseverance!"

Then the old beggar looked at Third Brother and said: "Where is my ten yuan?"

Third Brother handed the ten yuan to the old beggar reluctantly. The old beggar took the ten yuan and quickly put it into his pocket, as if afraid someone would snatch it. He looked at us and said: "First, if you want to learn Wu Gong, you must strengthen your physique. Your current physique is simply terrible, so from now on, wake up at five every morning and run ten thousand meters!"

"What? Ten thousand meters? Do you want to tire us to death? And the ten yuan was spent just like that? You're too much of a scammer!" Third Brother looked dissatisfied.

"If you can't even handle ten thousand meters, don't talk about learning Wu Gong. If you want to give up, you can leave anytime!" The old beggar looked at us with full disdain.

Seeing the other party's disdainful gaze, Third Brother felt even more indignant and said angrily: "Run then, who's afraid of whom!" ===== CHAPTER 34 =====
