After hearing what Lin Hu had said, Su Xiaoxiao, Mu Leng’s deskmate, as well as her best friend, smiled and said, “Mu Leng, shall we cheer them on this Friday afternoon?”
“Friday…” Mu Leng hesitated for a while. “I was planning to look for some English articles in the library that day…”
“Aiya, Mu Leng, if you continue to study like this, you will become a nerd. Friday is a good chance for us to get some fresh air! Moreover, you may see a handsome guy!” Su Xiaoxiao talked like a chatty bird in front of Mu Leng. Her eyes glowed when she talked about handsome guys.
Like her name, Su Xiaoxiao was a petite girl1. She was about 1.5 meters in height and had some baby fat on her face. One would believe that she was only a primary school child.
Seeing Mu Leng hesitating, Su Xiaoxiao grabbed Mu Leng’s arm and pleaded like a child, “Come, just come, please, Mu Leng! I am bored to death in the classroom.”
“Okay, okay, I will go!” Mu Leng agreed.
After thinking about it, she should really get some fresh air. The basketball match would be a good chance for her to relax before studying again.
Ugh… A study god like Mu Leng prioritized her studies first.
However, Mu Leng hesitated slightly when she thought about how Cheng Nuo was in the basketball team.
She had to cheer for that guy? Forget it, she would only watch and not cheer…
However, did Cheng Nuo even know how to play basketball?
…
Cheng Nuo really did not know how to play basketball. He did not have to lie to Lin Hu.
Because of his parents and his lack of interest in basketball, Cheng Nuo had never learned it. He would only play it during physical education classes.
As for the rules and the techniques, Cheng Nuo knew absolutely nothing.
However, for the next three days, Cheng Nuo did not bother to learn. After all, the main thing was to participate—he did not care about winning!
As the saying went: friendship over competition!
It was bad to fight for the champion title. Wouldn’t it be good if they made friends through the game?
…
After the bell rang and the balding Chinese language teacher said “class dismissed”, countless students dashed out of the class like wild dogs—oh, no, wild horses! They dashed like wild horses to the cafeteria. After ten seconds, the classroom was empty.
The Chinese language teacher was used to it. He took his time packing up and strolled out of the classroom.
When one was in year three, one’s time was precious. Nobody had the patience to wait in line for more than ten minutes in the cafeteria.
Cheng Nuo, Hao Shuai, and Lin Hu ran very quickly. However, their classroom was on the highest floor, the fifth floor. When they reached the cafeteria, all of the stalls already had five or six people in line.
“Hao Shuai, get the dishes! Cheng Nuo, get the soup! I will get the utensils!” Lin Hu roared as he ran.
It was not the first time the three of them had collaborated. Hao Shuai and Cheng Nuo both nodded.
Cheng Nuo ran as he concentrated and did the calculations of his data in his mind. “Speed: 6.74 meters per second. Shortest distance from the cafeteria: 104.58 meters. The best direction is 30.5 degrees counterclockwise from the north. After an addition of 5.24 meters, the total distance is 110.32 meters and the time taken to arrive will be 16.36 seconds.”
Cheng Nuo’s brain gave him the best route to take.
Based on the information, Cheng Nuo ran in that direction at full speed!
Meanwhile, his brain kept giving him data. “Decrease speed to 6.47 meters per second, time needed is 10.54 seconds…
“Decrease speed to 6.04 meters per second, time needed is 5.24 seconds…”
Based on the best route, Cheng Nuo could save up to three seconds.
