Chapter 30 (2/2)
He Zhao continued: ”Really I'm afraid I'll scar you”
They chatted for a while and decided they did want to go to the basketball courts
He Zhao had just walked out when he turned back ”Old Xie, coo”
”You said it” He Zhao went straight over and tugged at his hand
Xie Yu found it ridiculous He'd rejected it so clearly—what did he mean, you said it?
He Zhao pulled apart the words 'So, go' and repeated the stopped them on the way to the basketball court Thisforty, opened theto his office and stuck out his head ”You on the basketball court, what are you doing? It's class tiht? Get your asses up here”
Dean Jiang's loud voice carried very well
Wan Da, carrying the ball, hopped fro have to grade exams? Isn't he a math teacher?”
The few of them for asked, ”Why don't you explain yourselves?”
Luo Wenqang, as the gyood conscience remain silent now He stepped forward and said, ”We were practicing basketball Our class forot even oing on If there's no tourna for?!”
Luo Wenqiang couldn't say anything ?”
As a result, all of Class 23 watched the few of the to the basketball court to play ball, run laps around the quad under the hot sun
Xu Qingqing's desk was by theShe stared for a long ti on ”…What are they doing?”
The others also indicated that they didn't know They guessed, ”War didn't leave He stood in a shady spot and counted laps for the? Run! Fifteen o back to class”
It was extre did they catch a slight breeze Sweat flowed slowly from their foreheads
”Fifteen laps If you're a man, you run fifteen laps,” He Zhao said as he ran ”Old Xie, can you do it?”
Xie Yu ignored hiot more into it the more he ran and even ran ahead of Xie Yu Then he turned and started running backwards He looked at Xie Yu and said, ”Wanna make a bet? Who finishes fifteen laps first”
”Do you have nothing better to do?”
”Do you dare?”
Dean Jiang only said fifteen laps, but didn't really put the theeo back to class
The quad had been exposed to the hot sun all day and the s had just left when Liu Cunhao and Wan Da helped each other over to the side ”Let's go, let's go This is killing , only He Zhao and Xie Yu were still doing laps
”Those twopodium and watched them chase each other around, a little stunned ”Fifteen laps, really?”
Liu Cunhao was incredibly thirsty and assu had left He yelled to them twice, but they didn't respond, so he left it alone, too ”They probably really want to do strength training Let's go get water”
Running, lap after lap, is quite addictive
Drenched in sweat, footsteps unending Letting yourat all If you want to vent, then run on viciously with all your strength
Even if it's tiring, so exhausting your breath co you taste blood in your throat
By the end, Xie Yu's back was thoroughly soaked, the he in the wind
There was only one thought left in hisHis body burned with it
Thirteen
Fourteen
Fifteen rounds
The two crossed the finish line at the same time
He Zhao dashed forward a little further, then stopped
He stood on the spot for a long time, then picked up the hem of his shi+rt and mopped at his face The line of his waist and his abdominal muscles were briefly exposed Sweat rolled down his neck, and he raised one hand after he had wiped his face like he wanted to high-five Xie Yu, his voice unbearably hoarse ”Badass You're quite so”
Xie Yu bent at the waist Aside fro and he couldn't hear He Zhao's voice clearly
He Zhao was exhausted, too He lay flat down on the quad and looked up at the wide and edgeless sky
For some reason—perhaps because his mind had fallen into a completely blank state just now—after he had cal mysterious flashed before his eyes
”…He Zhao, just focus on revising The high school entrance exa up and I have a set of o over it with you With your grades, which high school in A City can't you get into?”
He Zhao scratched his head; he didn't want to keep thinking about it He couldn't hold back a curse ”fuck”
Xie Yu waited for a while He sat to the side, both hands supporting his weight against the courtyard floor, and kicked He Zhao ”Hey”
He Zhao answered after a pause, ”What are you doing?”
Xie Yu: ”If I called you idiot, would you answer?”
He Zhao wasn't sure why Xie Yu was suddenly bringing this up ”…You're the idiot”
”So” Xie Yu followed hiorous exercise, both of their voices were a little hoarse They were very close together, and as Xie Yu breathed he thought he sent on He Zhao's clothes, mixed with the scent of sweat ”Don't ask other people Ask yourself”
