Chapter 2052 - 2253: Gotta Go Check It Out!!!
After Zhang Danlin and the others left, Zheng Jun and his group devoted themselves even more wholeheartedly to training. There's not much time left for them, as after this class there's just one more, and then it's afternoon, which is when they have their match against Gao Yanfei from Class Five.If they haven't practiced well by then, they'll be embarrassed in front of the whole school. Yawen's campus design has a main avenue straight to the back gate, cutting through the entire campus, and the basketball courts are on this main avenue.
By afternoon, most of the school's faculty and students will be walking along this main avenue. They'll see the basketball match between them and Class Five. If they lose miserably, it'll be a stain on the face of not just Class Three, but themselves as well.
So, even though the chances of winning aren't high, they can't afford to lose too badly. After all, the Goddess is there cheering them on. At least they should lose with some dignity. With that in mind, everyone trained even harder. Li Weiwei passed by but only glanced over without coming closer.
Seeing her students train so hard for class honor brought a relieved smile to her face. She's looking forward to the match in the afternoon; win or lose, she still supports her students. Not wanting to disturb their training, she only watched them for a bit without approaching.
Meanwhile, Gu Peng was sitting in the classroom playing a mobile game, ignoring the teacher even during class. Possibly intimidated by his family's background, the teacher pretended not to see him.
Then, someone beside Gu Peng nudged him, saying, "Brother Peng, that kid Hao Jian is leading Class Three to play basketball against Gao Yanfei from Class Five. Isn't that ridiculous?"
Gu Peng was initially annoyed by the interruption but changed his expression upon hearing Hao Jian's name.
"What did you say?" Gu Peng asked with concern.
The person chuckled and said, "In the afternoon, Gao Yanfei from Class Five took people to mess with Class Three but was caught by Hao Jian. So, they agreed to a basketball match in the afternoon, with the loser calling the winner 'grandpa' three times and always yielding to them. Isn't it funny? Class Three might be good at exams, but how many of them can actually play basketball? Competing with Gao Yanfei, this is really humiliating."
He got all excited while talking, thinking it's ridiculous for Hao Jian to compete with Class Five's Gao Yanfei. Gu Peng, initially thrilled to hear Hao Jian's name, felt even happier after learning about the match. Anything that might embarrass Hao Jian would excite him.
Still, he's curious about whether Hao Jian really has such strong spiritual power. Their bet starts next week, but Hao Jian didn't seem to have made any preparations, and Gu Peng doubted he would even show up. That would be a huge embarrassment, but he wouldn't do that.
Yet, at this moment, Hao Jian still had the energy to organize a basketball match. His energy was indeed impressive. Gu Peng had expected Hao Jian to focus entirely on their upcoming bet, only to be surprised by his multitasking.
After a momentary pause, Gu Peng smiled and said to the person next to him, "Interesting, let's check it out in the afternoon."
The person chuckled, knowing Gu Peng was going to watch Hao Jian's embarrassment, and happily agreed.
...
Li Weiwei had just walked from the basketball court to her office when she was surprised by a crowd of teachers surrounding her.
"Teacher Li, I heard that kid Hao Jian from your class is at it again, leading a basketball challenge against Class Five!" A relatively senior teacher approached, asking Li Weiwei.
Li Weiwei was taken aback, not expecting the event to spread among the teachers. She nodded, saying, "Yes! They're young. As long as it's not fighting, a basketball match is fine."
She was defending Hao Jian since the older teacher clearly looked down on him. Despite feeling uncomfortable, she diplomatically supported Hao Jian.
The teacher understood the subtext and glanced at Li Weiwei, then left slightly annoyed, as if implying a student's character reflects that of their teacher.
The other teachers refrained from further questions, but a young female teacher, near Li Weiwei, subtly smirked.
Li Weiwei noticed her. This young teacher joined Yawen about the same time as Li Weiwei. She handles Class Five, while Li Weiwei is the head of Class Three—Jiang Kexin. Her smirk clearly mocked Li Weiwei.
Li Weiwei felt uneasy, despite having no real connection with Jiang Kexin other than being colleagues, but Jiang Kexin seemed competitive with Li Weiwei over certifications, degrees, abilities, and class performance.
Clearly, Jiang Kexin perceived the basketball match between Classes Three and Five as an opportunity for superiority, and her internal mockery surfaced during the older teacher's inquiry.
Jiang Kexin's class performance and her own academics weren't as good as Li Weiwei's, who was admired by single male teachers at school for her looks. While Jiang Kexin wasn't unattractive, she paled in comparison.
She usually fell short in matters involving Li Weiwei, so this was a rare chance for her to surpass Li Weiwei and mock her.
As she smirked, she stood, pretending to fetch water, but mainly moved past Li Weiwei's desk.
While pouring water, she mused aloud, "Since this match involves my class, as a head teacher, I should go and support them."
Everyone understood Class Five was likelier to win, and Jiang Kexin's remark beside Li Weiwei sounded sarcastic. She would attend to cheer for her students, who might bring her glory, unlike Li Weiwei, who wouldn't dare see her students lose.
After speaking, Jiang Kexin returned to her desk. Her words were heard despite being soft, adding awkwardness to the office atmosphere.
Li Weiwei didn't react, continuing to organize her paperwork without acknowledging the slight. This annoyed Jiang Kexin, who slammed her cup down loudly for attention.
Li Weiwei smiled subtly, viewing Jiang Kexin's actions as petty and snubbing them.
The matter hadn't started yet; premature conclusions were foolish. Brag now, but cry later. Just watch and see.
Li Weiwei's confidence in Hao Jian was unwavering. He wouldn't disappoint her.
"Ding ding ding…" The school bell rang.
With Gao Yanfei having Zhang Jin spread the news, the match between Class Three led by Hao Jian and Class Five by Gao Yanfei became widely known, sparking intense discussions among students during class. After class, roaming students rushed to see Hao Jian.
Instead of seeing the match, they felt envy upon their sight.
As they arrived, the first thing they saw was Goddess Liang Xiaohan wiping Hao Jian's sweat with a tissue.
Oh my goodness!
It's the Goddess Liang Xiaohan! Although knowing Hao Jian's unusual ties with her, witnessing was still...
