Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The end of “grueling military training” officially marked the beginning of high school life for the students. A new beginning, new teachers, new classmates, new books, and three years worth of time. It was the kind of fresh start that Zhang Jun was looking forward to.
The garden-like environment that Shu Guang High was designed in made every student somewhat more open to mingle and meet new people… With Zhang Jun having a friendly personality himself, he was very quick in making new friends.
“Zhang Jun!” a fatty called out.
“Ah Biao?!” Zhang Jun replied.
Ah Biao was Zhang Jun’s classmate. His real name was Liu Qi and he played the piano in his spare time. But, whenever Zhang Jun tried picturing his 186-cm, 108-kg friend playing the piano, he could not help but laugh. Some time ago, Zhang Jun gave his new friend the nickname, Richard Clyderbiao after the famous pianist. However soon enough, it was shortened to just Ah Biao.
Liu Qi was annoyed by Zhang Jun’s teasing and tried to tackle him. But, Zhang Jun merely shrugged his shoulders and sidestepped Liu Qi’s tackle. The poor fatty charged into nothing.
“What’s up with the excitement?” Zhang Jun asked.
“I heard there’s going to be a transfer student coming in today!”
“What about it?”
“Are you an idiot? I’m sitting next to the only empty seat in class. So, if the transfer is a gorgeous babe, then she’ll be sitting right next to me. Isn’t that awesome? Ha! We can chat all day in class, and I can walk her home after school!” Liu Qi was getting carried away by his daydream.
“Well, if that’s your plan, I think the cute girl is going to be creeped out by you instead!”
“What did you say?” Liu Qi tried to tackle Zhang Jun, and was once again easily avoided.
“Yo fatty, forget about it. You’ll need a million years before you can even scratch my hair, much less tackle me.”
“Why do you think we don’t have any good looking girls in our school?” Liu Qi gave up trying and leaned against the corridor rails as he looked down on the school grounds. “I’ve scanned every female student in every class since the day I came here, but all I got was a whole truckload of sadness and disappointment! Especially when it comes to our year!” Liu Qi continued in a very sad voice.
“Are you sure you checked all of them? Maybe you missed one?” Zhang Jun replied his depressed friend as he pointed at a girl who just exited the lecture building.
Liu Qi merely took a glance and continued, “Dude, you can find girls with a nice figure like her’s everywhere. But the problem with them is, from behind, they make you want to become a bad boy. And even more when you look at them from the side. But, when you come to the front…” Just as he was just about to conclude his sentence, the girl turned around and Liu Qi kept his mouth shut.
The girl was oblivious to the boys’ conversation on the second floor and she soon turned, leaving the premises.
“I take it all back!” Liu Qi was excited. “That one’s definitely a babe! A real babe!”
Zhang Jun was also stunned. The girl who was walking away from them looked like an angel under the radiant sunlight. It appeared as though she was glowing herself! The two boys just stared at the beautiful sight in front of them like dummies until the bell rang for class.
…
Liu Qi mysteriously disappeared during lunch only to reappear with a grin on his face. He slung his hand around Zhang Jun’s shoulders and whispered, “Bro, I’m going all out and doing you a solid. Here, I got the girl’s info for you. Her name is Su Fei. She’s from the class right under ours. Is it just me or does her name sounds more like a foreigner’s?”
“You’re what? Doing me a solid?”
“Yea. I know you have… You know, ‘that’! Right?”
“What? No! I’m just—”
“Bro, let me finish! I also got word that she’s joining the Soccer Club as the manager! People are saying that all the other clubs are trying to get her to join them, but she’s already made up her mind about joining the school’s sh*ttiest club. Can you believe that? There’s tons of other clubs that aren’t very happy about this! I mean, think about it: Whatever club she’s joining, every other guy will want in! Can you imagine the amount of membership fees?”
“The way you’re saying it… It sounds like it’s the biggest thing in school right now. How is it possible that I haven’t heard anything about this?”
