Chapter 13 "Relying on despicable tricks...
It's Monday again, the beginning of a high school student's nightmare.
Class 17's classroom was in a mess, like a huge fish tank, with many people swimming around like fish.
As for what the purpose is...
"Class monitor, chemistry homework!"
"Chen Ningzhou, let me take a look at your math homework!"
"Stop God, begging for chemistry on your knees."
“…”
Shen Xiyu came early today and sat in a daze holding a thermos. She had been feeling uncomfortable in her stomach during her menstrual period for the past two days.
“Ahem…”
The study committee member sitting at the door of the classroom saw Lao Fangtou coming outside the window, and quickly pretended to cough to signal his classmates.
When Old Fangtou entered the classroom, peace and tranquility had returned to the classroom, and everyone was sitting quietly reading books.
He nodded with satisfaction. The group of young kids in their class were quite obedient. The kids really grew up.
"Students, take out your biology papers from last week..."
Shen Xiyu lay uncomfortably on the table and listened to the class listlessly.
Suddenly a ball of paper fell on her desk and she picked it up and opened it.
It was written by Chen Ningzhou: Why are you so listless now that your deskmate is not here?
Shen Xiyu was too lazy to pay attention to him. He stuffed the note into his desk pocket and continued to lie down and listen to Old Fangtou's lecture.
Chen Ningzhou did not continue to harass her.
After class, Shen Xiyu went to get some water. From a distance, he heard a boy in his class named Guo Xiao and a group of students from other classes dancing with joy.
Shen Xiyu had a vague impression that he and Li Gaokai were often together.
"You know, he didn't come this morning...why? He's probably scared!"
“…”
"He has good grades? Bullshit, he just landed in our fast-track class right after he came here. Who knows how much he'd have to pay, how good can his grades be?"
Shen Xiyu came out from the corner and stared at him coldly.
Guo Xiaozheng was talking excitedly, but when he saw Shen Xiyu, he subconsciously stopped talking.
Perhaps he felt that it was too embarrassing to be a coward in front of a group of people just because of a little girl, so he glared at Shen Xiyu.
"You...what are you looking at?"
"Look at some people whose grades are about to fall out of the top 250 but they are still trying to act strong. Aren't they afraid that others will think they are stupid?" Shen Xiyu went straight over to get the water without even looking at him.
"You...you..." Guo Xiao remembered the last time Li Gaokai was attacked by a group of them, and he didn't dare to provoke Chen Xi Yu easily again.
"Everything I said was true. Wasn't he parachuted in? Didn't he ask for leave right before the exam? Everyone knows what his grades are like."
Shen Xiyu felt from the bottom of his heart that he was an idiot. He could use anything to attack Liang Qi, but he used his grades to attack him, which was just to make himself unhappy.
"Oh, we'll see."
“…”
When Shen Xiyu was walking back, he ran into Qin Yiyan.
He had just come out of the office and was walking back side by side with Shen Xiyu. "What's the name of that guy in our class you were talking to just now... Guo Xiao, right? What were you talking about? I saw him from a distance, and just as I was about to go over, you left."
"Nothing. They were complaining about Liang Qi's poor grades, so I just said something back."
Qin Yiyan laughed when he heard this, "Hey, no, this is the first time I've heard someone complain about Lao Liang's academic performance. He's also an amazing person. Don't pay attention to him. Lao Liang will behave well when he takes the exam."
"He said he hasn't come for the past few days. What's the matter?" Shen Xiyu asked Qin Yiyan.
"It seems like his business preliminary round..." Qin Yiyan realized that he had made a big mistake again and quickly shut up.
Shen Xiyu glared at him, "Do you know that people who speak half-sentences will be struck by lightning!"
Qin Yiyan was slightly threatened and blurted out everything, "He's an AI guy and has a business competition preliminary to participate in. He doesn't like people paying attention to him doing this."
"Oh, I see. I'll just pretend I don't know." Shen Xiyu didn't actually think there was anything that shouldn't be known to others, but since Qin Yiyan had already said that Liang Qi didn't like it, she naturally wouldn't be so tactless as to spread it.
"But he shouldn't mind you knowing that you two spend more time together every day than we do." Qin Yiyan started to complain again.
Shen Xiyu gave him some advice, "Then you should move downstairs from us."
“…”
It was already the second day after the exam. Shen Xiyu had not been in good shape for the past two days. She had severe menstrual pain, but this time the test paper was not difficult for her, so she was still confident.
Dai Meng walked out of the examination room with her. Seeing that Shen Xiyu was still gloomy, she asked her worriedly, "Xiyu, let me take your place in the relay race tomorrow afternoon. How can you run like this?"
Shen Xiyu rejected her offer, "Then the relay race will have 800 meters next. You still have to run 800 meters. If you run continuously, your arms and legs will be exhausted. It's okay. I can hold on to 400 meters. Don't worry."
She patted Dai Meng's hand soothingly.
*
When he got home in the evening, Shen Xiyu thought about it and sent a message to Liang Qi.
——Magrim: Will you come back tomorrow?
——L: Do you miss your deskmate?
——Magrim: ...I won't ask anymore
——L: I probably can’t go back, but I will definitely be able to go back the day after tomorrow
——Magrim: Good
…
Liang Qi put down his phone and looked at the fat guy opposite him who was holding a blackboard and calculating the benefits and costs.
"This commercial competition doesn't focus on our core technology. We have to prioritize profitability. We're not specifically developing this for commercial competitions."
Liang Qi felt a little headache, and he rubbed his twitching eyebrows.
They have been gathered in this hotel for a discussion since yesterday afternoon. They have slept for less than five hours so far. Tomorrow morning, the preliminary round of the DECA Business Challenge will be held.
The next day, Shen Xiyu felt much better in his stomach and no longer felt any pain.
There was a sports meet that afternoon, and the school was in an uproar in the morning. After all, this was their last sports meet in their second year of high school, and they would never have such a chance to slack off in their third year of high school again.
Zhang Zhi brought a big bag of snacks early in the morning and said that he would watch them from the stands.
He was the only one among them who was not forced to apply for the project.
The reason was that he had crawled under the table and no matter how hard Dai Meng tried to poop, she couldn't get out. In the end, the sports committee member didn't even think of him...
The first one to take the field was Chen Ningzhou. He signed up for the 1,000-meter race. He had good physical fitness and easily ran to third place. The first two were sports students from their school.
When Chen Ningzhou returned to the stands, many young girls offered him water, but he thanked them and didn't take any of it.
Qin Yiyan looked at the grand occasion and sighed, "Ning Zhou is still as charming as she was in her freshman year of high school."
Chen Xiyu sneered, "Just watch him pretend, maybe he's actually feeling really happy again."
What she said was not without basis. Others might not know that Chen Ningzhou was such a pretentious person, but she knew his character very well.
A narcissist who can look in the mirror for half an hour at home...
"Chen Xiyu, can you please stop assuming the worst of others?" Chen Ningzhou came over and happened to hear Shen Xiyu saying bad things about him.
"Tsk, I'm going to line up. Our group will be on stage soon."
"Come on, come on!" Zhang Zhi stuffed his mouth full of potato chips.
Shen Xiyu was the last runner. There were basically no sports students in their fast class. Although Shen Xiyu's physical fitness was not very good, his sprinting speed was still considerable.
"Ready—go!" With the starter's command, the first leg officially began.
The stands erupted in noisy cheers.
"Class 17!"
"Class Eight will win!"
“…”
Qin Yiyan and the others were concentrating intently in the stands, wishing they could fly out.
"Where are we at?" The boy behind was still catching his breath.
Qin Yiyan turned around and found that it was Liang Qi. "Hey, Lao Liang, why are you back so early? Didn't you say you wanted tickets for the afternoon?"
The boy sat down and drank Qin Yiyan's mineral water, "I changed my ticket."
"You wouldn't come back just to watch us play, would you?"
"Um."
Qin Yiyan didn't expect him to admit it, and hugged him excitedly, "Lao Liang still cares about his brothers!"
"Where are you at?" Liang Qi pushed Qin Yiyan off him.
"Oh, it's the girls' relay race. Oh, and Shen Xiyu is running the last leg."
The second runner is almost done.
Class 17 was firmly in second place. Everyone in the stands was very excited, waving their class flags to cheer them on.
Shen Xiyu stood on the track to calm himself down, but he also became a little nervous due to the restless atmosphere on the field.
The third runner was already running towards her, and her class was only slightly behind the first place.
Now is the time!
Shen Xiyu took the baton and ran.
"Come on, Shen Xiyu!" Dai Meng shouted in the stands.
The students in Class 17 all cheered for her. This was the last leg, success or failure depended on it...
Shen Xiyu was about to overtake the girl in front of him at the bend, but he was just a little bit short...
Sudden.
She felt footsteps behind her getting closer and closer, too close to be normal, or was it just the psychological effect of her being too tired?
"Ah——" The girl wearing clothes with "17" printed on the back fell heavily to the ground.
Dai Meng and the others immediately became anxious, "That woman in the toilet was deliberately getting so close to Chen Xiyu!"
Liang Qi looked surprised.
Qin Yiyan and Dai Meng immediately went down from the stands to help Shen Xiyu.
Liang Qi stopped them and said, "Let's see, she doesn't want to be dragged down like this at this time."
"She fell down..." Qin Yiyan didn't quite understand and felt a little anxious.
Although Chen Ningzhou frowned and looked at Liang Qi, he also agreed with him, "He's right, she doesn't want to end up in disgrace."
“…”
Shen Xiyu was really cursing in his heart at this moment. How many seconds had she been down? Five seconds? Ten seconds? Was there still a chance?
The man just now knocked her down on purpose.
She remembered that the girl had turned around and looked at her provocatively just now.
Damn...it's fun, isn't it?
She looked up at the girl who was not too far away from her.
She stood up without hesitation. She had just looked at her leg and it was just a scratch. There should be no damage inside, so she felt that it was not a big problem.
Shen Xiyu had no idea what a dramatic game she was putting on in the eyes of the people in the audience.
When she collapsed, the audience, including the students from Class 17, thought she was beyond saving and that their class was doomed to lose the game.
Who knew that Shen Xiyu only lay there for a few seconds, then stood up immediately with his bloody legs and continued running, even faster than before.
Everyone in Class 17 was excited, and the class monitor even used a loudspeaker that he got from somewhere.
"Come on, Shen Xiyu! Class 17 will win!"
"come on!"
“…”
It would be a lie to say that it didn't hurt, but in Shen Xiyu's ears, she could clearly tell who was calling her name.
I can't slow down yet.
One person, two people, three people, four people...
Shen Xiyu returned to second place, but the gap with the first place was already quite large.
When she crossed the finish line, she was so exhausted that she was about to kneel down.
A pair of warm, dry hands caught her.
A familiar smell, it's Liang Qi...
She didn't have the mind to ask him why he came back early.
Shen Xiyu stood up with the help of Liang Qi and leaned half of his body on him.
She cast a sharp look at the girl who had just knocked her down, who was looking at her guiltily.
"I don't know you. No matter what your shameful intentions or motives are, you can't defeat me with your dirty tricks. Doesn't that feel good?"
The girl was stubborn and said, "I don't know what you are talking about..."
Shen Xiyu was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, "You know that you know it in your heart. I will report it to the school."
"I was just a little closer to you...you...you fell down and you're blaming me? Is there any evidence to prove that I made you fall down?"
"I saw it." A clear, soft but unquestionable voice came from the side.
It’s Liu Jiaoyi.
She glanced at Shen Xiyu and Liang Qi, then turned her gaze to the girls, "Feng Shu, I was right behind you two. I saw you stretch out your leg and trip her."
The girl named "Feng Shu" instantly turned pale, "You...you are talking nonsense..."
Seeing that her mouth was harder than stone, Chen Xiyu said, "You can say whatever you want. Go and explain it to the school."
The girl glared at them with red eyes, and ran away in a pity after being advised by the people around her.
Chen Xiyu looked at Liu Jiaoyi, who was also sweating profusely after running, and smiled brightly, "Thank you."
Liu Jiaoyi's eyes jumped back and forth between Liang Qi and her.
It's obvious that these two people are internally digesting things. Why do they go out and tease others? They are like deep well ice.
"No need. I just heard that last time a boy in your class made up a rumor about me, you dealt with him." The girl blushed a little, "I don't owe anyone a favor."
Shen Xiyu gave her the unopened bottle of water that Liang Qi had brought over. "Thank you anyway."
Liu Jiaoyi hesitated for a moment, but still took the water and left.
Liang Qi carried Shen Xiyu to the infirmary.
The girl lay on top of him, her hair tickling his neck, and an indescribable smell, like melted ice cream, hit his ears.
He is a little upset now...
"Where are Qin Yiyan and the others? Do they know you're back?"
"Yes, I know. They went to watch Dai Meng's competition and sent me to take you to the infirmary." Liang Qi supported the girl's legs with his wrists, stiff and not daring to move.
In fact
A few minutes ago
"Let's wait for her at the finish line," Dai Meng suggested.
"Aren't you going to the next 800 meters? It's almost time to go on stage, right?"
Zhang Zhi said, "Old Chen, you and Liang Qi go pick up Xi Yu. Qin Yiyan and I will go over there to cheer Mengmeng up."
Chen Ningzhou looked up and down at Liang Qi, who was eager to leave immediately, and said, "Let this kid go by himself."
