Chapter 33 Being Targeted

"There will be no classes next Friday because the school will be holding the fall sports meet on Friday and Saturday." Lu Ze was sharing the latest news he had received with Qi Nian.

Qi Nian thought it was a great idea and asked, "So I don't have to come to school next Friday?"

Lu Ze had a look on his face that said, "You're dreaming." "Forget it. Everyone must be present at the sports meet. Each class will have an opening performance."

Qi Nian suddenly felt like the sky was falling and covered his head, trying to escape reality.

While we were talking about the sports meet, the sports committee member took out a form and asked everyone one by one.

"Would you like to participate in the 2,000-meter race?"

"No, the 2,000-meter race is going to kill me. Now a 100-meter race can make me exhausted."

"Then how about you participate in this 100-meter relay? You'll just be exhausted and still be alive."

“…”

"Let me tell you a secret. Anyone who signs up will get two credits."

"Fuck, why didn't you say so earlier? Forget about the relay race, it's too tiring. I'm pretty good at jumping, so I'll just do the pole vault."

The sports committee member didn't care what he signed up for, as long as someone signed up, and immediately said with a smile, "Okay, I'll write your name down."

One after another, they followed the same method and in an instant all the items they had registered were almost full.

However, no one was selected for the 2,000-meter race.

After all, although two credits are very tempting, it doesn't mean they have to exchange their lives for it.

Asking college students to run 2,000 meters would probably be like asking them to die.

It’s not calculated.

Then, the sports committee member came to Qi Nian and Lu Ze again and asked, "Do you want to sign up for the 2,000-meter race? If you sign up, you will get two credits."

Lu Ze folded his arms, leaned on the table in the back row, and looked like a big shot: "Do you think I'm short of two credits?"

Sports Commissioner: "Sorry to bother you."

Then, he turned his earnest gaze to Qi Nian.

Everyone thought: "..."

Don't look at me like that!

In order to complete the task, the sports committee member was extremely thick-skinned. He stood tall and strong, and said in a strangled voice: "Please, just participate~"

After all, Qi Nian was the only one who did not directly reject him.

Lu Ze watched the excitement from the side with a smile, rubbing the goose bumps that were caused by disgust.

This is the greatest torture for a socially anxious person. Seeing the sports committee member staring at him with pitiful eyes, Qi Nian felt terrible, help!

Isn't it just two kilometers? Is it really so uncomfortable to be watched by others all the time?

Qi Nian thought so, gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, grabbed a pen beside him, and wrote his name after the 2,000-meter event.

Push the registration form to the other party: "Go...quickly!"

Huh...I can hardly breathe.

The sports committee member's face lit up with joy, and he looked at Qi Nian as if he was looking at his biological father: "Okay, thank you, Dad~"

After saying that, he happily took the list and went to find Teacher Zhang.

Everyone thought: "..."

Lu Ze was dumbfounded: "That's two kilometers, did you really sign up?"

Qi Nian was also very sad: "But he kept looking at me, it was so scary."

Lu Ze was speechless for a moment, then patted Qi Nian on the shoulder and said, "If you have nothing to do these two days, run more, otherwise you might be exhausted to death."

Qi Nian: “…” He burst into tears.

He returned home depressed. Ning Min saw that he had his head drooped, like a little sheep beaten by wind and rain, so pitiful that it made people want to laugh.

Ning Min took the opportunity to touch Qi Nian's soft hair: "What's wrong with Nian Nian? Oh, your little curly hair looks listless."

As he spoke, he pinched a handful of curls and lifted them up, trying to make them fluffy.

Qi Nian told them about the sports meet.

Ning Min couldn't help laughing this time: "Oh, how pitiful."

Qi Nian was made even more depressed by Ning Min's laughter. What did the socially anxious person do wrong?

Ning Min: "You should run and exercise more. Doesn't your brother run every day? You should follow him these few days to exercise. Otherwise, you won't be able to handle running so much all of a sudden."

Qi Nian took a big sip of water and nodded.

That’s all I can do QAQ.

The next day, Qi Nian was forced to get up early. It was still dawn outside, and he once again realized how early his brother got up.

"Let's go." Chu Rongshi was wearing a sports suit and was still meticulous. He didn't look like he had just woken up and his mental state was incredibly good.

On the contrary, Qi Nian's eyelids drooped listlessly, and his curly hair was a little messy, fully demonstrating the depressed mental outlook of contemporary college students.

He nodded in agreement and followed Chu Rongshi.

When I got outside, the wind made me feel a little more refreshed.

Chu Rongshi asked him to move around and warm up first: "This is your first time running, so you should adapt slowly. Long-distance running tests your endurance, so don't run too fast. Adjust your breathing while running and keep your breath steady."

Qi Nian moved his body awkwardly. He was not so sleepy now. After thinking for a while, he asked Chu Rongshi: "Brother, are you going to our school sports meeting?"

Chu Rongshi turned his head and looked at him: "If you want me to go, go."

Qi Nian blinked, not expecting such an answer. He thought his brother would at least think about whether he had the time or not.

Qi Nian was inexplicably happy, but after thinking for a while he said, "You'd better not come."

Chu Rongshi asked: "Why?"

Qi Nian's expression froze for a moment: It was all because of the opening dance. I don't know who chose it, and it was some kind of Subject 3 dance. But at least he could wear a doll costume, so it wasn't that embarrassing. But he didn't want his family to know.

So Qi Nian laughed it off and said it was just a sports meet and there was no need for that.

Chu Rongshi looked at him, thoughtfully.

After running with Chu Rongshi for a few days, Qi Nian finally adapted to the rhythm and no longer felt so exhausted after running.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the sports meet. It started with an opening dance to relax. Each class had two minutes, and they took turns to perform one after another.

The school leaders sitting on the stage are all quite old, and looking at a group of college students who are doing all kinds of things, they feel that they really can't keep up with the trend of the times.

There was a very weird class, the boys wore women's clothes, the girls wore men's clothes, and the boys even put on makeup and twisted their pigs, which was particularly eye-catching.

Qi Nian's class hadn't played yet, and watching from a distance, Qi Nian sighed, "I suddenly feel that our class is pretty good."

Just skip the third subject. At least you don’t have to wear a skirt and you can still wear a doll costume. You can’t see what’s inside at all.

A chubby doll looks much cuter than any girl's clothing.

Each class had only two minutes, and soon it was Qi Nian's class's turn. The chubby dolls lined up and ran in front of the school leaders.

The school leader looked at the chubby baby and nodded, "Yeah, this one is good, much better than the one in women's clothing just now."

Just as I was thinking about it, music started playing on the playground and the chubby kids started to move around.

School leader: “…”

It's too early.

In the distance, Chu Rongshi looked at a clumsy kid and raised his cell phone.

The assistant beside him: "..."

He looked puzzled and said, "Boss, do you know which one is your brother?"

Aren't they all exactly the same?

Chu Rongshi showed no expression: "Is it hard to recognize?"

assistant:"……"

At that moment, he wondered if his boss had the ability to see through things.

The opening dance segment ended quickly. Qi Nian took a break, then heard the announcement on the radio and put on a mask to participate in the 2,000-meter long-distance run.

It is worth mentioning that there is also a cheering session in the sports meet. Each class can submit a script to the radio station to cheer for the students in their class, and there will be an announcer at the radio station to read the script.

Qi Nian listened to the inspiring cheering script being read out from the radio station and didn't understand why such an embarrassing moment had to happen.

Phew, luckily no one will write to him.

However, Qi Nian soon realized that he was celebrating too early. The broadcast stopped for a while, and then a lively female voice came: "... Next is a cheering article for classmate Qi Nian. You are an eagle flying on the playground,... spread your wings and fly high!..."

Everyone thought: "..."

Ahhhh!

Haha, this is for Qinian, it has nothing to do with him, so it’s not embarrassing.

Qi Nian kept comforting himself, but his face had already turned red under the mask. He didn't know if it was because he was too embarrassed, but he didn't even feel tired while running.

The 2000-meter long-distance race tests endurance. Despite the embarrassment, Qi Nian's endurance improved by leaps and bounds, and he actually finished third.

To be honest, he himself didn't expect it.

While taking a break in his class, Qi Nian drank a large bottle of water and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He felt extremely hot.

Lu Ze looked at the mask that seemed to be on his face and reminded him: "Take it off."

Qi Nian: "There are so many people, I won't pick them."

Lu Ze: “…”

He looked into the distance, then raised his eyebrows and pointed: "Look, is that the guy who hit you with a basketball that day?"

A basketball game was going on there. Qi Nian looked over and saw Ling Yunzhi.

Ling Yunzhi is really good at playing basketball. Relying on his height and long legs, he easily breaks through the opponent's defense and throws the basketball into the basket, instantly receiving cheers.

Qi Nian scratched his face and looked at the other person.

After a few games, it was time to award the prizes, and Qi Nian, who came in third, naturally also got a prize.

He accepted the award with a nervous look on his face, his eyes accidentally glanced at something, and he quickly rubbed his eyes. He seemed to have just seen his brother!

Qi Nian quickly leaned forward to look, but his brother was nowhere to be found. Could he have seen wrongly?

In the distance, the assistant followed behind Chu Rongshi: "Boss, we are not waiting for your brother?"

Chu Rongshi: "No more waiting."

He knew how thin-skinned Qi Nian was.

On the other side, Qi Nian, who thought he was dazzled, took the prize and was about to look for Lu Ze, but he walked too fast and accidentally bumped into someone.

Qi Nian said embarrassedly: "Sorry..."

"Why are you here again?" A familiar voice sounded. Qi Nian looked up and instantly felt that he was really unlucky. Who else could this person be but Ling Yunzhi?

Qi Nian didn't want to say anything more to the other party, so he turned around and tried to leave, but was blocked by the other party.

Ling Yunzhi's handsome face turned a little mean: "I said, weren't you quite arrogant that day?"

Qi Nian was almost speechless. How could he be so arrogant?

Seeing Qi Nian lowering his head and not saying anything, Ling Yunzhi felt more and more that the other party was afraid of him. He glanced at Qi Nian's thin arms and legs, sneered, and looked down on this guy who only had a good-looking face more and more.

Ling Yunzhi wasn't saying that it was troublesome for him to catch Qi Nian's breath, he just felt annoyed with the other party for some reason.

He has been brilliant since he was a child. He is used to the feeling of being surrounded by others and cannot stand if someone shines brighter than him.

Both of them have outstanding looks, especially Qi Nian. Even with a mask on, his beautiful eyes and eyebrows make people more curious about what the face under the mask looks like.

At this time, the two of them stood together, instantly attracting a lot of people to look over.

It's just that Qi Nian lowered his eyes, while Ling Yunzhi had an arrogant look on his face, and it looked like Qi Nian was in trouble.

Ling Yunzhi frowned when he saw many people paying attention to this place. He decided to let Qi Nian go this time. Just as he was about to leave, he saw Tang Xiang running over.

Ling Yunzhi's expression changed, and he quickly smiled: "Why are you here?"

He took Tang Xiang's hand and said, "Let's go."

Tang Xiang looked at Qi Nian strangely: "What were you doing just now?"

Ling Yunzhi had found trouble with Qi Nian last time, and now that the two of them were standing together, it was hard for him not to be suspicious.

Ling Yunzhi smiled and said, "We just said a few words. I was a little impulsive last time. I apologized to him."

Qi Nian looked at Tang Xiang, then at Ling Yunzhi.

The girl who was closer to him couldn't help but mutter, "What apology? I saw that he looked very unhappy just now, as if he was looking for trouble."

Ling Yunzhi looked unhappy and looked straight at the girl who was talking: "Did you hear what I said? Is it okay that I was born with a bad face?"

The girl was startled by him and couldn't help but take a step back.

Qi Nian: "She's right, ... you really didn't apologize to me..."

Ling Yunzhi looked at Qi Nian suddenly with a ferocious look on his face.

Tang Xiang didn't expect her boyfriend to be like this. She frowned and said, "Why do you do this and scare others?"

The girl who had just spoken for Qi Nian was about to run away, but when she thought of the crowds of people around her, she was no longer afraid. She walked up to Qi Nian and whispered, "Are you okay? Don't be afraid, I'll protect you!"

Everyone thought: "..."

He just has social anxiety, he's not so weak that he needs protection.

However, the girl was also frightened just now and was willing to stand up at this time. Qi Nian was still very grateful and smiled at her.

The girl was a little dazed by the laughter, she looks so good even with a mask!

How can such a good-looking guy be bullied by that big guy? No, I have to protect him.

At this time, the girl had no idea that she was much thinner than Qinian, she just felt full of responsibility.

Ling Yunzhi tried his best to explain to Tang Xiang that he had planned well and must not let his plan go to waste.

"I was wrong. I didn't really plan to do anything. I just said a few words."

For some reason, Tang Xiang always felt that her boyfriend was not as he acted in front of her, but she couldn't understand what the meaning of him pretending was.

After all, there are many people who like Ling Yunzhi, and there are some who are prettier than her.

Therefore, he could only suppress his doubts and looked at Qi Nian apologetically: "I'm really sorry, he is a bit stingy, but he definitely doesn't have any bad intentions."

When he was called stingy, Ling Yunzhi's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal: "I didn't mean anything else by what I just said, so don't mind it."

Qi Nian looked at Ling Yunzhi and Tang Xiang in front of him and felt a headache. Why did he always encounter such weird things?

Moreover, Tang Xiang seemed to trust Ling Yunzhi very much.

Qi Nian screamed in silence: [Love-mindedness is not good! ]

Tang Xiang was a little surprised when he suddenly heard everyone silently saying "speak".

What a love brain, what is that?

Qi Nian: [Tsk tsk, this Ling Yunzhi is really not a good person! ]

Ling Yunzhi's face froze, but he soon smiled at Tang Xiang again: "Xiangxiang, look, I've already apologized..."

Tang Xiang also frowned, not understanding why Qi Nian suddenly mentioned her boyfriend.

Ling Yunzhi: "Let's go. I'm not such a stingy person. Let him say whatever he wants."

Tang Xiang didn't have time to react, and heard new content: [Ling Yunzhi somehow hooked up with a wealthy businessman, and wanted to get some "lucky beads."]

Ling Yunzhi's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly, and Tang Xiang was even more confused. What kind of fortune-changing beads are these?

She heard that lucky beads are bracelets worn on the hands.

Qi Nian: [Ah? Let me see what this fortune-changing bead is… Shit, is this something a human would do? Some business people are quite superstitious. I don’t know where they heard that if you have sex with a pregnant woman, your bad luck will be transferred to the pregnant woman’s fetus, but if you abort the fetus, the person who has sex with a pregnant woman will have good luck…]

[How could there be such a vicious person! Ling Yunzhi carefully selected his current girlfriend because Tang Xiang was easy to control. Even if something happened to her, she would not dare to tell anyone. He did all this just for the 500,000 promised by the rich businessman.]

[To do this for half a million dollars is simply a beast! ]

Tang Xiang's face turned pale, his legs and feet became weak, and he was about to fall.

She thought a lot about why Ling Yunzhi suddenly pursued her, when they had no contact before, and why Ling Yunzhi had been hinting at her recently that he wanted to have some intimate contact with her.

Tang Xiang is a conservative person and has never agreed before, but... she promised Ling Yunzhi to go out together next weekend. Thinking about what she would experience, Tang Xiang felt a chill all over her body.

Ling Yunzhi's anxious excuses filled my ears: "Don't listen to his nonsense! What fortune-changing beads? I don't even know what they are!"

Tang Xianghun looked at Ling Yunzhi with trembling body: "You borrowed an online loan before, right?"

Tang Xiang discovered this by accident and was shocked at the time, but Ling Yunzhi promised that the money would be returned soon.

Now think about it, Ling Yunzhi didn't feel any pressure at all for those tens of thousands of yuan. How could a college student have so much money to pay back? She remembered that Ling Yunzhi was just an ordinary family.

Even if his family could pay it back for him, why wasn't he panicking at all?

Unless he finds a way to get the money.

"Fuck! He is so heartless!" The girl who just said she would protect Qi Nian looked at Ling Yunzhi with contempt and quickly pulled Tang Xiang over: "Don't be afraid, sister. Fortunately, this classmate exposed him. No wonder he has been looking for trouble with this classmate. It turns out it's because of this!"

The girl looked at Qi Nian, who was wearing a mask, with eyes full of admiration, and then pulled Tang Xiang: "Don't be afraid, we can go find a counselor if we have any problems!"

Ling Yunzhi wanted to chase after them, but the group of students who had just surrounded him immediately surrounded him.

"Hey, hey, don't go. You don't want to cause trouble for others, do you?"

"If you are upright, you have nothing to fear. So what are you afraid of?"

"Look at his expression. Do you still need to doubt it? It must be true!"

“…”

——

"Shit, you made such a big deal without making any noise!" At this moment, Lu Ze's face had an expression that said 'I've made a big mistake'.

After saying that, he couldn't wait to share with Qi Nian: "Do you know how Ling Yunzhi is doing now?"

When Qi Nian heard this, he knew that Lu Ze, the know-it-all, knew the follow-up, and immediately asked curiously, "How is he? Don't keep us in suspense, tell us now."

Lu Ze: "Our school is really efficient. We called Ling Yunzhi in for a talk yesterday. What he was planning to do is not just a moral issue. Although it hasn't happened yet, it's a serious problem. Ling Yunzhi was quite stubborn at first, but when the school leader said he would call the police, Ling Yunzhi immediately gave in and confessed everything."

"Oh, after he was admitted yesterday, the school leaders directly asked him to go home and reflect on himself. Although they say reflection, it will be difficult for him to come back once the school makes a decision." Lu Ze said this with an excited look on his face.

Qi Nian gave a thumbs up and praised: "Our school is doing a great job."

Lu Ze saw it clearly: "If we don't do this, the school's reputation will also be affected. Then it won't be the school leaders who talk to people, but people who talk to the school leaders."

After he finished speaking, he shared some gossip: "That Ling Yunzhi, I heard he also borrowed an online loan. Do you know what he used the loan for?"

Qi Nian wished he had a handful of melon seeds in his hand: "Tell me quickly!"

"It's hard for me to say this." Lu Ze was still a simple college student who only cared about making money: "Most of the money he borrowed was used for prostitution. His roommates said that he often ran out in the middle of the night and came back early in the morning, saying that he had too much energy and had no place to release it."

Everyone thought: "..."

"You're quite good at finding excuses for yourself."

Lu Ze was very disgusted: "Who said it wasn't true?"

Qi Nian was satisfied after hearing the gossip, but was also curious about Lu Ze: "How do you know all this? I feel like many people don't know this."

Lu Ze: "Oh, it's nothing, I just have a good relationship with the security guard in the school."

Qi Nian was shocked: "How come you know everyone?"

Lu Ze said lightly: "We didn't know each other before. Don't I have a part-time group? This security guard and I are in the same group. The school was recruiting security guards before, and I told him the news. He was quite grateful to me."

Qi Nian: No, I have no idea when the school will recruit security guards.

I have to say that Lu Ze’s know-it-all personality has always been very stable: “As expected of you.”

——

Qi Nianya had no idea that by reporting this big news, he had accidentally offended someone.

The chubby director received a call and immediately smiled and said, "Boss Wang, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Boss Wang said in a deep voice: "Is there a person named Qi Nian in your school?"

Director: "I'm not sure about this either. Can I check it for you?"

Boss Wang: "No need, go and cause him some trouble. I don't want to hear his name in Beijing University."

The director was stunned for a moment and agreed repeatedly.

After hanging up the phone, the director asked someone to retrieve Qi Nian's file.

He was not stupid. Before looking for trouble, he had to see if he could afford to offend the other party. After all, there were many rich kids in Kyoto University. If he was unlucky and offended someone he shouldn't, he would be the one who would be in trouble.

Soon, Qi Nian's information came out. The director looked at the blank column for parents and immediately laughed. It seemed that he was lucky. He was just an orphan with no one to rely on. Wouldn't it be easy to do something with it?

What he didn't know was that Qi Nian was fostered in the Chu family and they had no legal relationship, so the school's file information naturally couldn't reveal anything.
