Ruan Qingmu slowly picked up the ball and bounced it on the ground a few times. He indifferently looked at the several boys on the opposite side with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
“Fuck!” Li Zhiyong cursed and tried to come over, but Ruan Qingmu held out his hand from far away and directly pointed at him to stop.
“There’s not enough equipment. One basketball for five people.” He indifferently said, “There are only four of you. I will give you guys a face today and give you one ball. You won’t get any more.”
Liu Jun brought several boys over to surround him.
The one who could draw, Wang Li, was among them, and he squinted his eyes. “Who made the rule that five people can only get one ball?”
He usually hung out with Liu Jun, and the blackboard bulletin drawn by Ruan Qingmu was in the limelight, so he felt sour about it.
Ruan Qingmu smiled. “I made it. Because someone earnestly told me to take responsibility as I ran for this damn sports representative position.”
He sighed. “Although I didn’t like to listen to lectures, what he said was right, so I still decided to listen to him.”
He had delicate features and was extremely white. Smiling like this, he looked so much better than his usual lazy and unsmiling appearance. Many passerby girls on military training at the side secretly glanced over.
Li Zhiyong immediately shouted, “Aiyo, the new sports representative is so mighty! What will you do if we don’t want to obey your rules?”
The gloomy-looking Liu Jun didn’t say anything and only kept staring at Ruan Qingmu from the side with a cold face.
Bai Jing, next to him, tensed up and quietly stepped back. Ruan Qingmu raised his eyes and looked at him with an amiable expression. “Stand there for me. If you go to call the teacher again, I will hit you too.”
Bai Jing awkwardly stopped.
Why was their new sports representative like this? They even ate together in the canteen yesterday, and he had also treated Ruan-ge to eat roasted sausage using the successful draw from the betting post. Now, he fell out like flipping a book page1, huhu!
Behind Ruan Qingmu, Fang Li nervously clenched his fist and quietly exited the crowd. He broke into a run toward another side of the sports field.
Ruan Qingmu hugged the basketball and looked at the silent Liu Jun.
Not hearing Liu Jun’s provocation, he turned to Li Zhiyong in satisfaction and said with a light-hearted expression. “What if you don’t obey? What can I still do then, ah?”
He hooked his finger. “Come and fight. If you win, don’t say one basketball, I will even beg and help you get ten basketballs in the future.”
After a month of pretending to be a cripple on crutches, his body had gone rusty. These fools kept buzzing around him like houseflies, and he got the desire to swat them to death.
Li Zhiyong: “…..”
Although he wanted to reduce this person’s prestige and added a little stress to the PE course, he wasn’t ready to fight and get the disciplinary punishment!
“Who fucking wants to fight with you. Trash like you isn’t afraid of disciplinary punishment, but I don’t want to accompany you to be unlucky!”
Ruan Qingmu suddenly smiled, revealing his snow-white teeth. “That’s right. I’m not afraid of disciplinary punishment, but you are. Then, just fuck off a little farther.”
As he smiled, his bright white teeth matched his fair skin, making it look almost dazzling under the bright sunshine.
Not knowing why, Li Zhiyong, who was the closest to him, inexplicably got a chill in his heart, and he involuntarily took a step back.
……
On the other side of the sports field, Fu Songhua quickly leapt up and received the shuttlecock that Qin Yuan had viciously smashed across the court. Suddenly, a soft and slight trembling cry sounded from beside his ear. “Excuse me….. can you help me with a favour?”
Fu Songhua’s racket went askew, and he missed another incoming smash.
He turned his head and looked at the panting Fang Li in surprise. “What happened?”
The inter-classes fight from the last time had originated from a subtle and invisible place before finally extinguished. The two PE teachers had mutual fear, and as a precautionary measure, they would strictly separate these two classes in future PE classes.
One class was put on the eastern side of the sports field, and the other was on the western side. The white line in the middle served as the border and strictly forbade them from wandering off.
Fang Li gasped for breath and summoned his courage to point at Class 9’s side. “That, it seems like there’s going to be another fight. Can you…..”
Last time it was because Fu Songhua and the others happened to be there that the fight didn’t start. But if Ruan Qingmu was to face Liu Jun alone, wouldn’t he lose out?
Fu Songhua was startled. “Fuck, fighting again? Is it Ruan Qingmu?”
Before Fang Li could answer, there was a flash in front of his eyes, and a boy’s figure had already stridden towards the other side of the sports field.
Fu Songhua pulled Fang Li along and chased after him, loudly shouting, “Hey, hey, class monitor. Don’t run so fast; wait for me!…..”
On this side of the sports field, many people in Class 9 held their breath with trepidation as they looked at Ruan Qingmu being surrounded by Liu Jun and several other boys.
Li Zhiyong flushed and wanted to step forward, but Liu Jun beside him had already grabbed him.
Liu Jun turned around and moved closer to Ruan Qingmu. He stared fixedly at him and said in a cold voice, “Surname Ruan, don’t be arrogant. I won’t touch you inside the school, but you need to be careful when leaving the school gate.”
He was taller than Ruan Qingmu, and his full of acne face moved closer. The impact in front of his eyes was enormous.
