"Hey! Who the hell is so blind! They dare to smash my things!"
Liu Zhang clutched his shoulder, wincing in pain, and turned to see a face that filled him with rage.
"I'm so sorry to disappoint you. Not only am I not blind, but I have perfect vision, so I was specifically watching you smash it."
The girl easily caught the rebounding basketball, bounced it twice on the ground, and threw it into the basketball hoop next to her.
Liu Zhang's face turned green with anger. He glared at Lu Chuqing and shouted, "You're deliberately fighting! I'm going to tell the teacher you're bullying your classmate!"
Lu Chuqing also said, "What a coincidence! I'll return that to you and see who's really bullying their classmate."
"After all, I'm a girl and I'm not very good at basketball. I accidentally hurt Liu."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qu Fusang and Zhao Jiayan immediately began to cooperate.
Qu Fusang spoke first, "Oh, Chuqing, what should we do? We didn't mean it. He wouldn't be so petty as to bother the teacher with such a misunderstanding, would he?"
Zhao Jiayan followed up, "He always says others are stingy, so he himself must be a very generous person. He shouldn't go to the teacher for such a small thing. He's not a primary school student anymore, why would he run to the teacher to complain all the time?"
Lu Chuqing also showed an innocent and embarrassed expression, "Yeah, I didn't do it on purpose. Who knew he would be so petty and say he would go to the teacher to complain?"
"You, you lot!" Liu Zhang's face flushed red with anger, and he pointed at the three girls, panting heavily. "You're all shameless!"
"Whether you're shameless or not is none of your business, but I think you're pretty shameless." Lu Chuqing glanced at him and then rolled her eyes, her disgust was all too obvious. "You're so self-righteous when you bully others, but who says you're like you've been wronged for eight hundred lifetimes? You're so annoying."
Nangong Yu and Qi Yu's voices came from outside, "What are you doing? I saw you coming a while ago, why haven't you got your equipment yet?"
Two tall boys stood at the door, instantly blocking the entrance to the equipment room.
Liu Zhang knew they were on good terms, and he couldn't take on five people by himself, but he couldn't swallow his anger. He shouted angrily, "You're just relying on your numbers!" Then he grabbed his racket, pushed past the group, and squeezed out through the small gap in the doorway.
Qiao Xiangdong, who had followed behind, saw Liu Zhang walking away quickly with an angry expression. Then, seeing his friends crowded at the door, he asked in confusion, "What happened? Did Liu Zhang cause trouble again?"
Nangong Yu and Qi Yu didn't know what had happened, but judging from the situation just now, it was probably that person was messing with Lu Chuqing again.
"I don't know, but it seems that person is deliberately targeting our Qing'er again," Nangong Yu said.
Lu Chuqing glanced at the boy with his head down next to the indoor equipment rack and explained simply, "He bullies people with a lot of self-righteousness. I couldn't stand his attitude, so I hit him with a basketball."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yu immediately gave her a thumbs up and said, "Awesome."
Qiao Xiangdong was immediately shocked and full of admiration. "You're amazing, Sister Qing'er! It's a pity I couldn't witness your heroic rescue of the hero in person. What a pity!"
Zhao Jiayan couldn't stand his exaggerated sycophantic behavior, so she kicked him. "I'm really fed up with you. Can't you be normal for once? You're acting like a hero saving a woman. I'm sorry to say you're using all your literary talent."
It's no use crowding at the doorway, so Lu Chuqing waved her hand and walked inside. "Alright, let's grab a racket and play a little longer. What are you guys getting?"
Nangong Yu replied, "The basketball they just got had a puncture, so we came over to get a replacement."
Qi Yu asked, "What are you looking for? Do you need any help?"
“Ping pong, not many people play it,” Zhao Jiayan replied, following behind Lu Chuqing.
The petite Qu Fusang quickly spotted the ping-pong ball on the bottom shelf of the second row of equipment. She tugged at Lu Chuqing, who was still looking up, and said, "Chuqing, the ping-pong ball is down there. Don't look up."
Upon hearing this, the girl followed her hand and looked over, and sure enough, she saw a ping-pong paddle in the bottommost empty space.
She followed Qu Fusang into the passageway from the other side to get a racket. Zhao Jiayan also came over and picked out a pair. Only after the two of them finished picking out theirs did Lu Chuqing have a chance to get hers.
Before leaving, she caught a glimpse of the boy still standing at the other end of the passageway, and she turned her head to look at him.
The boy was also looking at her. When he noticed her looking at him, he immediately lowered his head, shrank his neck, and nervously moved his hands behind his back.
He lowered his head so quickly, and his hair was a bit long, that Lu Chuqing only had time to see the lower half of his face, with his snotty head showing.
To be honest, it does make people feel a little uncomfortable.
Without saying a word, she picked up her racket and walked out with Qu Fusang and the others.
The boy knew she was gone, and his fingers, which had been tightly gripping the hem of his school uniform behind him, had just relaxed when someone suddenly patted his shoulder.
He subconsciously hunched his shoulders again, half-turned his body to look over, and saw no malicious shoving, only a pack of green-packaged tissues handed to him.
Lu Chuqing handed him a tissue and said calmly, "Not many people think it's attractive to have snot on your face. I'm not that I dislike you, but please show your best side."
The boy paused for a few seconds before reaching out to take the pack of tissues. "Th-thank you."
Seeing that someone had taken it, Lu Chuqing didn't say anything more, turned around and left the equipment room.
Her girlfriends were all waiting for her outside. When she came out, Qu Fusang whispered, "But, how come he didn't even have a tissue to wipe his nose?"
Zhao Jiayan was also a little confused, "You could just go to the toilet, pee, and then wash yourself."
"Honestly, the way he looked was a bit... well, you know what I mean, right?"
Qu Fusang frowned and answered in a low voice, "Yeah, it's a little dirty."
Lu Chuqing casually remarked, "Maybe his family isn't well-off; he can't even maintain proper personal hygiene."
Remembering something, she casually asked, "Oh right, what was his name again? I don't remember."
Qu Fusang and Zhao Jiayan were both shocked. "No way, Chu Qing, half a semester has passed and you still don't know the names of your classmates?"
Lu Chuqing wasn't embarrassed at all and said frankly, "What's the big deal? Apart from a few of us, I don't even remember the names of half the other people in the class. We don't play together, so it's better to memorize a few more words than to remember so many names."
Zhao Jiayan imitated Qiao Xiangdong's exaggerated manner, clasping her hands in a fist salute, "I admire you! No wonder you're the class's number one, Sister Qing'er!"
Qu Fusang kindly told her, "That boy's name is Zhou Lu, it's a simple and easy-to-remember name."
Zhao Jiayan said, "Speaking of which, there are several people in the class with the surname Zhou, but his name is relatively common."
Lu Chuqing recited it to herself, thinking that it was indeed easy to remember, but also easy to confuse and forget.
The three girls walked further and further away together, soon completely leaving the equipment room behind.
