Chapter 44 - Sports Festival (1/2)

Chapter 44: Sports Festival

The midsemester exam finally arrived and it was time for them to test out the results of their intense cramming sessions. The exams were not conducted in their usual classrooms. Instead, all the students were randomly arranged into different examination rooms.

Huang Shao and Jiang Yang just happened to be allocated to the same room. When he went over to find Jiang Yang, Jiang Yang was still acting like an anxious father. He constantly reminded Qin Xu: “Remember to answer the questions seriously.”

Huang Shao found this amusing, “Why do I feel that you are more concerned about his results than he is himself? Let’s go, the other students have already left.”

Jiang Yang was pulled away by Huang Shao but, after a few steps, he didn’t forget to send Qin Xu a warning glare.

Qin Xu shrugged: “Don’t worry. You should as well.”

He then raised his hand and threw something over.

Jiang Yang saw something fly over and instinctively caught it. When he looked down, he saw that it was actually a chocolate bar.

Huang Shao raised his eyebrows: “Hey, it isn’t Valentine’s Day today though?”

Jiang Yang rolled his eyes and said with irritation: “Today is April Fool’s Day, your day.”

Huang Shao smiled and held out his hand: “Since it’s my day, where’s my gift?”

This guy is shameless to the point of no return. Jiang Yang was speechless.

With bright eyes, Huang Shao looked at………the chocolate bar in his hands.

Jiang Yang didn’t hesitate to tear open the wrapping. Opening his mouth, a clear crunch was heard, and he turned to smile at Huang Shao. This was all done with one fluid motion.

Huang Shao: “………..” Explode into a puffer fish!

The midsemester exam went on for two days and soon it was over. As they did the exam, the teachers also corrected the papers, so the results came out very quickly. The moment it was released, some were elated while others were disappointed.

When the class teacher announced the results, as usual, he announced how the overall class went in comparison with other classes first. This was then followed by which subject was the best and which was the worst. After saying all this, he naturally moved on to announcing the more prominent individuals including those who improved the most and the opposite.

The class teacher looked towards Jiang Yang and Qin Xu and said with a smile: “In addition, I would like to praise Jiang Yang and Qin Xu. Their results have improved significantly and it goes to show that it really helps when students help each other out. The other students should learn from them. Huang Shao, the English teacher told me that you regressed again this time.”

He deliberately placed Huang Shao’s name together with Jiang Yang and Qin Xu because he knew that they got along well and wanted to use this as a chance to stimulate Huang Shao. Look at them, they’re studying so hard and yet you’re still playing around.

In this regard, Jiang Yang and Qin Xu could only say: “Hehe.”

Huang Shao then grabbed onto their legs and fake cried, “What happened to agreeing be study slags together? How can you so heartlessly abandon me?”

Jiang Yang and Qin Xu grimaced. They couldn’t tell him the reason behind their hard work recently and could only respond with a cold scoff: “Who agreed to that? I love studying. Studying makes me happy.”

The other students watched on and laughed. They patted his shoulder, “Xiao Huang, the college entrance examination is not far away. You should start working hard.”

Huang Shao didn’t change his expression and continued to whine: “You bunch of traitors. There’s still more than a year left. The happy high school life has only just begun!”

After the midsemester exams, it was time for the sports festival.

The students didn’t have class for two days, so they were naturally very excited. They got ready to passionately embrace their youth.

At the opening ceremony, coloured smoke was set off decorating the clear blue sky. With this, the festive mood was ignited.

The competitions also kicked off.

Each class had an allocated place on the sports field. They moved their chairs down from their classrooms and formed a crowd surrounding the field in the centre. However, there weren’t many people there. Most of them had ran into the centre of the field to prepare for the races or to cheer for the others.

“The next race is the second year mens 1.5km. Please check in at the registrations desk. The next race is the second year mens 1.5km. Please check in at the registrations desk.”

The loudspeaker transmitted this across the field.

At one corner of the racetracks, there were chairs scattered around and a sign with Year 2 (5) was placed before them

In the very last row, a tall and handsome figure leaned back lazily in his chair with his long legs resting on the chair before him. On his face laid a comic book and only his chin and his slender neck was exposed. Under the warm autumn sun, he slept very comfortably.

“Jiang Yang! It’s time for the mens 1.5km!” A bright male voice rang out and warmly reminded.

At this time, the man reached up and moved the comic book from his face. He glanced through the corner of his eyes and asked: “It’s your turn?”

Jiang Yang stood to the side warming up. He gave him a perfunctory answer, but his expression didn’t look too good and there was a hint of impatience on his face.

Qin Xu knew the reason for this and could only quietly laugh. As if it had nothing to do with him, he once again placed the book on his face and prepared to go back to sleep. It’s a wonder how he could sleep in such a rowdy environment.

Jiang Yang heard his laugh and angrily kicked his chair leg. With that strong kick, the chair shook, and Qin Xu also shook to the point that the comic book had fallen from his face. Fortunately, his reaction was fast, and he quickly reached out to steady himself.

Qin Xu chuckled: “Why did you kick me? It’s not my fault you’re doing the 1.5km.”

“I hate the look of you.”

“There’s someone who would hate the look of someone as handsome as me? They must be ill. Should get it treated.” Qin Xu pretentiously acted surprised and then jokingly gave him a word of advice.

Jiang Yang was speechless. This guy is really the cheekiest person he has ever seen.

However, he had only said two words and Jiang Yang had already walked off in irritation. He strode over to the centre of the field revealing his striking strong and lively back view.

Qin Xu leaned back and continued to use lazily the comic book to block the sun on his face. When he opened his eyes again, he was awakened by the cheers around him. In fact, he actually had not fallen asleep. He threw the book onto the chair next to him and blinked a few times. When he sobered up, he remained sitting there for a moment lost in thought. As if he suddenly made a decision, he suddenly stood up and walked towards the field.
