Chapter 24 - Kabe-don (2/2)

Qin Xu nodded.

Jiang Yang instantly understood and patted his shoulder in response.

The nearby boys laughed: “Xu brother, did you forget which team you’re on?”

The boys in the class were split into two teams to compete, and Jiang Yang and Qin Xu were their respective captains. They were obviously separated into different teams to even out the teams’ strength and make the game fairer. But now, Jiang Yang’s team had won yet he ran over to congratulate him.

Xie Zhe also laughed at him: “You’re losing our face Xu brother.”

Qin Xu shrugged: “What’s wrong with that? Aren’t we all in the same class? Just you wait, I’ll get them back next round.”

He smiled confidently and sauntered back to his own team.

In the next round, Qin Xu really did as he said and won the round.

This time, it was Jiang Yang’s turn to walk over to fist bump and then hug him.

The other boys around them were confused and found it very strange while the two parties involved exchanged a look of understanding.

Interestingly, this motivated the players and the boys played even more passionately. Whenever they won, they would happyily go around throwing fist bumps and hugs. The competition this time was much more intense than before.

The physical education teacher who came from the badminton court saw this and couldn’t help but laugh. These rascals really are at the peak of their youth.

Class ended, and the boys left the court with some disappointment. They returned the ball and used their shirt to wipe away the sweat on their necks as they made their way to the school store. After playing basketball, a cold drink was a natural choice for them to go for.

It was naturally the peak hour at this time and the school store was crammed with people squeezing back and forth.

Qin Xu is tall. With his long limbs, he had an advantage over the others and very quickly managed to squeeze to the front of the fridge. Grabbing a bottle for himself, he turned around to ask: “Jiang Yang what drink…….”

Jiang Yang just happened to be pushed up right behind him and, with many students behind him eager to get their drinks, Jiang Yang was pushed even further ahead to the point that he almost kissed Qin Xu. The two froze with shock. Fortunately, Jiang Yang reacted fast and quickly reached out to support himself using the fridge door. Annoyed, he shouted out: “Who the fuck pushed me?!”

In a chaotic situation like this, it was natural that no one would know the answer to his question.

Including the chair-don last time, it could be said that Qin Xu had managed to unlock Jiang Yang’s fridge kabe-don feature this time. In this chaos, he couldn’t tell if the soft sensation that he briefly felt earlier on his face was real or just part of his imagination.

Jiang Yang said: “Iced red tea.”

Qin Xu bent down to pick up the bottle and Jiang Yang took this opportunity to quickly wipe his mouth while complaining internally – salty.

On the other side of the school store, Xie Zhe was buying an ice-cream cone. Retrieving it from the freezer, he looked up and saw Xiao Yuxin struggling in the crowd desperately trying to get through. He looked like a lost little chick; clumsy and dumb.

Seeing this, Xie Zhe couldn’t help but laugh. He reached out and ruffled his head, “Class leader, with you being so slow, you probably won’t make it even when class starts. Tell me what you want, I’ll get it for you.”

Xiao Yuxin who suddenly had his hair ruffled up looked up with eyes of confusion. After a moment he mumbled uneasily: “Chocolate ice-cream cone, thank you…”

Xie Zhe grabbed a chocolate ice-cream cone for him but didn’t immediately hand it over. Instead, he walked straight to the checkout and paid for it using his meal card. By the time Xiao Yuxin managed to squeeze through the crowd he was too late. He could only hesitantly accept the cone from the other party and say, “Thank you. I’ll pay you back when we get back to the classroom.”

Xie Zhe shrugged, “No need. It’s only three dollars. If you don’t mind, you can just treat me next time.”

Xiao Yuxin tore open the wrapping and to a bite. It was both cold and sweet. Thinking that this was probably how friends get along, he nodded: “…..Oh, ok.”
