Chapter 24 - Kabe-don (1/2)

Chapter 24: Kabe-don (KKnotes: Wall slam. I’m sure you already know what it is)

The moment class ended, Jiang Yang and Qin Xu looked at each other tacitly. They quickly got up and walked to the corner of the corridor where no-one was and wanted to have a good discussion.

Firstly, they naturally wanted to explain the situation regarding the system and the tasks they were forced to do so that they would not have any misunderstandings.

Qin Xu’s system had only appeared for less than a day and, with just a few words, he was done explaining. After Jiang Yang finished explaining his side of things, he was finally able to breath a sigh of relief and conclude: “And so, things like covering you with a blanket and buying you breakfast, they were all tasks. Don’t joke around using them and accuse me of liking you.”

Hearing his explanations, Qin Xu felt embarrassed. Despite knowing that he had misunderstood him earlier, after hearing that Jiang Yang took it as him joking around, he was naturally happy to accept it. He purposely smiled as if it didn’t mean anything to him: “I was just joking around. We’re both men, how can we….Haha.”

Of course, the current him didn’t know that his face would be slapped hard in the future, to the point that his face would become swollen and bruised.

At this moment, when he heard that those actions of Jiang Yang’s weren’t done out of his own will, he felt inexplicably disappointed inside. That emotion quickly flickered inside him and he soon tossed it aside.

Qin Xu then remembered something and asked: “Last time when I forgot my towel, did you help me because of the task?”

Jiang Yang didn’t expect him to suddenly ask about it and instantly recalled that ridiculous scene. He rudely rolled his eyes: “No. Something small like that, I just helped you out in passing.”

Qin Xu slowly digested this and felt his mood suddenly improve.

They sorted the situation out between them and came to an agreement that they would do their best to help the other person out when they are assigned with a task. It could be said that they had formed a temporary truce. With a secret that is only known by the two of them, the two found the other a little more pleasing to the eye.

In any case, now that he had someone to share his strange circumstances with, Jiang Yang could finally relax. At the very least, it looked like the tasks that would come up in the future wouldn’t be hard to deal with. Now that they had a clear partnership between them, he no longer had to worry about causing misunderstandings.

Physical education class.

The teacher started off with instructing the class to jog for two laps as a warm up exercise before separating the boys and girls to play basketball and badminton respectively. After sitting in the classroom studying the whole time, the students could finally exercise their bodies.

However, not all students would cooperate. Some didn’t like to exercise and hated the feeling of becoming tired and sweaty. There were also some top students who would prefer studying. Xiao Yuxin is one of the top students who didn’t like to exercise. He would much rather sit in the shade under a tree and memorise English vocabulary.

Xie Zhe saw this and suddenly felt the urge to tease him. He ran over wanting to pull him over to play together but Xiao Yuxin was reluctant and quickly tried to hide from him. In the end it turned into a chase with the two circling around the tree. Xie Zhe found this quite addicting and happily chased after him as the rest of the boys looked on laughing at them.

Through this, Xiao Yuxin was forced to exercise. Due to not exercising often and being suddenly forced into running around, he panted very violently, and his face was also flushed red. Compared to his usual pale appearance in the classroom, he looked healthier. Xie Zhe deliberately ran a little slowly and, seeing that he was getting tired, he grabbed onto his arm and smiled while revealing his white teeth, “Class leader, you shouldn’t just focus on studying. Your body is also very important. Don’t you feel much better after running around for a while?”

Xiao Yuxin glared at him as he tried to catch his breath. What feeling better? He felt like he was going to die.

Xie Zhe smiled and patted his shoulder, “Class leader, sit here. You should watch how handsomely I play basketball~”

After that he ran back to the court and joined the boys.

Xiao Yuxin saw that he wasn’t tired at all and couldn’t help but lament internally. They were both human beings, yet they are so different. He couldn’t help but wonder if he should start exercising his body. However, he thought about it a little more and decided to just give up as it is too much effort.

On the basketball court, a group of teenagers sweated and ran around wildly. When it came to physical education class, it was always the happiest time for the boys.

Jiang Yang agilely stole a ball from the opponent but was very quickly surrounded by several others. He swept his eyes left and right, moved forward two steps before suddenly stopping and throwing the ball in a stable arc over his head and straight into the hoop.

With ease, he scored a three-pointer.

The boys cheered and laughed as Huang Shao hooked his arm around his shoulder and chuckled: “Brother, that was awesome.”

From not far away, Qin Xu saw this and also subconsciously smiled. This was then followed by a slight frown and, after stalling for a moment, he strode over to Jiang Yang and pulled him into a hug: “Amazing.”

Jiang Yang was surprised by this action of his and froze while he was held in his arms. When he finally reacted, he whispered: “Task?”
