In the boy’s dormitory, it was lively in Ruan Qingmu and Qin Yuan’s shared dorm on the first floor.
Bai Jing, Huang Ya, and several boys from their dorm sat around Ruan Qingmu and were chatting in high spirits.
“Honestly speaking, I really admire you today.” Huang Ya said, his oily face glowing with emotion, “We’ve disliked Liu Jun and the others since long ago but didn’t dare say anything. We’ve vented our fucking anger today.”
Bai Jing also raised his thumb at Ruan Qingmu. “I honestly didn’t dare argue with him and felt suffocated to death. I feel so comfortable now!”
Ruan Qingmu was half-slumped on the desk. The previous spirited appearance had long left, and he regained a languid look.
He looked at Bai Jing. “Then, I will give the sports representative position to you. I’m serious.”
Bai Jing frantically shook his head. “Don’t, don’t, don’t. I don’t dare to face those big blockheads. But as long as you dare to face them, I dare to support you.”
A slender boy beside him stretched his hand in admiration, wanting to pat Ruan Qingmu’s thigh. “Hey, I’m thinking, are you pretending to be lame, ah? How can you jump so high? Have you learned the high jump?”
When his hand was about to fall, he met Ruan Qingmu’s gaze.
Ruan Qingmu squinted his eyes and faintly glanced at his hand. His gaze was so cold that it caused others to tremble. The boy reaching over, shivered and hurriedly withdrew his hand.
Bai Jing’s phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and listened, then hurriedly signaled at everyone. “Look at the group!”
The several boys hurriedly opened the class QQ group. Once entering, they were scared into jumping by the picture.
Fuck! Why were there all kinds of red handprints around the place that Ruan Qingmu had just touched on top of the podium, like a group of devils dancing around1?
Bai Jing directly sent a voice message. “Wang Dayuan, what picture is that? Did zombies enter the classroom?!”
A voice message was immediately sent back from that on-duty boy. “Bai Xiaosheng, are you together with Ruan Qingmu?”
“Yes, we’re in 106.”
The boy let out a strange shout. “You should quickly inform him that the people from Class 1 left those handprints. They must have bad intentions!”
Bai Jing was stunned. “Who did it?”
“Their class monitor, Qin Yuan, and sports representative, Fu Songhua!”
Ruan Qingmu suddenly sat upright from the lazy lying position after hearing that.
“<Return of the Condor Heroes>! Li Mochou! Understood?” The student on duty roared on the phone.
The boys in the room: “…….”
Fuck, amazing! The direction of his thinking was too awesome.
Amidst the silence, Ruan Qingmu furrowed his brows. “I have a question.”
All the boys looked at him. “What?”
“What is <Return of the Condor Heroes>? And who is Li Mochou?”
Everyone: “…..”
Ruan-ge was also quite pitiful. He must’ve been so strictly controlled by his family that he had never seen this.
Fang Li’s weak voice interspersed among the noisy shouts of Class 9’s boys. “I don’t think so. It shouldn’t have that meaning. They’re quite nice…..”
Huang Ya bellowed, “Damn nice! If it’s not this meaning, then what does it mean? This is clearly dropping by to humiliate and provoke!”
“That’s right, that’s right. Wanting to exterminate our Class 9, they’re too arrogant!”
Someone questioned, “Could it be that they only want to exterminate our new sports representative? The ones who came to jump were Fu Songhua and Qin Yuan. You guys should understand what this means…..”
Ruan Qingmu got a headache from all the noises and finally waved his hand. “All right, you guys don’t need to care about it.”
Bai Jing puffed out his chest. “That won’t do. I said I would support you, so I’ll support you to the end. If something happens, you can just tell us. We won’t let Class 1 bully you!”
Ruan Qingmu let out a “pfft” and lazily massaged his wrist. “A person who can bully me hasn’t been born yet, understand?”
Huang Ya looked at him, turned his head, and gave a thumbs up to everyone. “I tell you guys, we should take our new sports representative as our role model no matter what happens. It wouldn’t be wrong to call him Ruan-ge, right?”
A boy vigorously nodded. “Sounds so cool, so powerful!”
Ruan Qingmu squinted at them. “I only sound strong?”
He extended a fair-white thin wrist and put it on the desk.
“Here, I’ll show you guys what true strength is.” He beckoned the group of boys with a finger. “The person who loses will call me Ruan-ge from now on. If they win –”
Several boys stretched their necks. “What?”
Ruan Qingmu smiled. “Nothing. Nobody will be able to win.”
The boys looked at each other. They were all unconvinced. One by one, they rolled their sleeves and loudly shouted. “I’ll come. I’ll come.”
It was only arm-wrestling; bring it on! They couldn’t jump high, but could their arm strength be lower than this guy’s?
Even Fang Li summoned his courage and extended a hand. “Can I try?”
“Plop!”
“Plop!” ……
As everyone was defeated instantly. Exclamations also came out one after another inside the room.
Huang Ya sat his ass opposite Ruan Qingmu and resolutely clenched his fist. “Watch me!”
Ruan Qingmu looked at his iron tower-like physique. The moment their hands were gripped together, his face suddenly turned solemn, and the blue veins on his wrist suddenly burst out.
“Bang!”
Huang Ya’s plump arm was smashed on the table faster and harder than anyone else’s, creating a loud sound.
“Fuck.” Huang Ya grimaced in pain and swung his arm. His face turned red. “I will call you Ruan-ge in the future. I’m serious.”
The group of boys were also stunned. That was Huang Ya, who came up as a runner-up in the shot put in the sports competition last year!
Bai Jing abruptly stretched his hand, put it on Ruan Qingmu’s forearm, and touched it back and forth in suspicion. “Fuck, you don’t have any muscle, ah. How come…..”
A hand suddenly came from above everyone’s heads, grabbed Bai Jing’s hand, and pried it away.
A slightly deep and calm voice sounded. “Why don’t I give it a try?”
Once Ruan Qingmu raised his head, his lazy smile disappeared.
He looked at Qin Yuan standing behind the crowd for a long time before shrugging his shoulders. “Ya, my roommate has returned.”
Qin Yuan slowly turned his head and looked at the Class 9 boys craning their necks. “Do you guys plan to sleep here tonight?”
