"Xiao Qiao, didn't you see how miserable Lu Chao has been these past two days?"
Qiao Chu hasn't been to school for two days. Her right arm was injured so seriously this time that the teacher asked her to rest at home for a few more days. Jia Xianxian would come over after school every day to give her the day's class notes and chat with her.
"Xianxian, you don't have to come here every day. I read books at home. Besides, I will go back to school next Monday, so I won't fall behind in my studies."
Seeing Jia Xianxian working so hard every day, Qiao Chu felt really embarrassed. Although her right hand could not move, her brain was still working well. She still went to the system study room to study every day without fail, but the time was reduced by half. After all, she had a fracture, and she had to rest well if she wanted to recover as soon as possible. Moreover, she has already prepared for all the courses for her second and third year of high school, so missing these two days of classes will not have much impact on her.
Jia Xianxian shook her head: "How can that be possible? If I don't come here every day, how can you know what happened in the school?"
Thinking of this, she smiled secretly, "Xiao Qiao, Lu Chao has been having a life worse than death recently. Teacher Wang not only invited his parents over, but also made him do an inspection during the break, and also broadcast a criticism in front of the whole school."
"Yeah?"
That was really miserable, but Qiao Chu felt that he deserved it. People who have never experienced a broken bone cannot understand the pain. It is a feeling that makes life worse than death. Qiao Chu now completely disgusted herself with Lu Chao. She felt that this man was simply mentally ill, or had a brain circuit that ordinary people could not understand. How could he casually hurt other people's bodies just to... make others know him and have a good impression of him?
I've watched too many idol dramas and my brain has been damaged!
The school leaders and teachers obviously think so too. The fact that Qiao Chu was unable to participate in the competition due to an injury to his right hand was enough to make them angry. If it was an accident, they would have nothing to say. But when they found out that it was man-made and for such a speechless reason, they were so angry that they were about to die. The culprit, Lu Chao, was undoubtedly their best target for venting their anger.
In addition, the school leaders also intend to use this incident to rectify the atmosphere on campus and remind those students who don't like studying and only want to fall in love not to make stupid mistakes like Lu Chao. Therefore, the campus can be said to be in a state of panic these days, and those young couples who always show their affection from time to time have become much more restrained.
Jia Xianxian sighed and said, "Alas - all of this happened because of you. To paraphrase a line from a martial arts novel - although you are no longer in the martial arts world, your legend is still circulating in the martial arts world. Now everyone in the school knows you. Everyone knows that there is a girl in Class 1 of Grade 2 who is beautiful and good at studying. Some boys even broke her bones just to get to know her! Xiao Qiao, you are completely famous now!"
Qiao Chu thought she had been famous for a long time. After all, those banners were still hanging on the campus. Why were these gossips more likely to become popular than serious matters?
What's wrong with this world?
"..." Qiao Chu was speechless. She didn't want this way of becoming famous at all! She said unhappily, "Are you envious? If you envy us, why don't we switch?"
She pointed to her right arm.
Jia Xianxian remembered Qiao Chu's shrill screams before, and shuddered all over. She shook her head vigorously: "Uh... No need, I think it's good to be unknown..."
She was still frightened when she thought of what happened that day, so she quickly opened another bag of potato chips and started chewing them, trying to calm her nerves.
Qiao Chu looked at her with a frown on his face, seriously suspecting in his heart that she was not here to deliver her class notes, but to eat free snacks. The empty bags on the ground were the best evidence.
"However, Xiao Qiao, you can't move your right hand now, and you can't participate in the finals. It's a pity. We all think you have a bright future, especially our class teacher. He hasn't smiled recently. My classmates don't dare to get close to him, for fear of having him operated on."
Qiao Chu sighed, took a potato chip from Jia Xianxian's bag and stuffed it into his mouth, "There's nothing we can do about it..."
“Beep Beep – Release a long-term task. Winning first place in any competition will reward you with 10 points. This task is valid for a long time.”
Zero Zero One's voice always appears so suddenly.
“Cough cough cough—cough cough cough—”
Seeing that she was choking, Jia Xianxian quickly stood up and patted her on the back, "Be careful, you're already injured, don't choke on it again."
Qiao Chu finally caught his breath and swallowed the potato chips stuck in his throat. "It's okay, it's okay. I just got a little excited when I heard you say you can't participate in the finals."
"Don't get excited. This is not your fault. It's all because of that damn Lu Chao..."
Qiao Chu quickly raised her left hand to interrupt her. She didn't want to hear that name now. Her right hand hurt when she heard it.
"Let me think about it again. Maybe there is another way."
"What can you do? Don't act rashly. The doctor said that you must not move before your bones recover, otherwise there will be sequelae. You are still so young, what will you do in the future if you become disabled! A disabled right hand is very painful. You may not be able to peel shrimps, chew ribs, or even open packaging bags..."
“…”
After seeing Jia Xianxian off, Qiao Chu immediately started calling Ling Lingyi.
"Zero One, Zero One, what do you mean by issuing a long-term mission at this time? Can't you see that I'm disabled..."
"Yes, Master, of course I saw it. Your screams of pain kept me awake at night."
"Uh, really? Sorry about that."
Whenever it was late at night and the surroundings were particularly quiet, Qiao Chu's pain in her right hand became more obvious. Although it was not as severe as the day when she had just broken her bone, the pain level made her restless and she couldn't fall asleep at all. She would cry out from time to time. In order not to alarm Qiao Weimin, she had been careful to lower her voice, but she didn't expect to disturb Ling Lingyi anyway.
But...does Zero Zero One also need to sleep? Before she could figure it out, Ling Lingyi spoke again.
"Master, you can't blame me. When to release a task and what task to release are not something I, a small customer service representative, can decide. Tasks are triggered according to the current situation. However, as to whether to accept the task or not, it is up to you to decide. In your current situation, I think you can give up this task and wait until the next competition. Anyway, this is a long-term task and is valid at any time."
give up? She wanted to give up!
10 points, 10 points = 100 points in 10 exams = 1000 hours of study.
This reward is too generous, and it is too attractive to her...
no! There must be another way.
"What? You're still going to participate in the finals?"
Wang Yisheng's eyes widened in disbelief, "But didn't the doctor say that you can't use your right hand until a month and a half later? The finals are next week, it's too late."
Yes, the date for the finals has been set. It will be held on October 3rd during the National Day holiday.
"Qiao Chu, I know you are unwilling to give up. You have come this far and defeated so many outstanding students, but now you have to give up because of this reason... However, you still have to listen to the doctor. You are still young and don't understand how important physical health is. I absolutely cannot agree to let you joke with your own body."
Wang Yisheng sighed heavily: "Alas - in fact, the teacher is more unwilling than you. But what can I do if I am unwilling? Things have come to this point and I can only accept the reality. Don't worry, this is not the only opportunity. If there is another competition next time, I will definitely recommend you to go again."
He originally wanted Qiao Chu to get first place in the country. Even if he was not first, as long as he got a ranking, it would be enough for him to enjoy the glory. He wanted Qiao Chu to participate in the competition more than anyone else. However, he was a teacher after all, and he had to consider the future of his students first.
Qiao Chu smiled: "I know, Mr. Wang. What I mean is that I can use my left hand. In the math competition, the first part is all multiple-choice questions, and there are only a few big questions at the end. There won't be too many words to write, unlike Chinese, where you have to write an essay. I think I should be fine."
She raised her left hand and moved it flexibly a few times.
Wang Yisheng's eyes followed her movements and fell on her left hand. He hesitated and said, "Is this... feasible?"
Qiao Chu nodded: "Well, absolutely no problem."
For the 10-point reward, she decided to give it a try!
Wang Yisheng fell into deep thought. After a while, he suddenly jumped up from his seat, his face full of joy, and said: "Yes, why didn't I think of it, if the right hand doesn't work, use the left hand. Back then, when the hero Yang Guo had his right hand cut off by Guo Fu, didn't he also use his left hand to practice peerless martial arts? And... and Lao Ai was also a famous left-handed swordsman..."
As he was talking, he suddenly realized that this was an office, and the person in front of him was his student. This place and the person were not right...
Teacher Wang, have you exposed something?
It turns out... Mr. Wang is also a martial arts fan...
"Well, I mean, I think you can give it a try. But, Qiao Chu, you must do it within your ability. You shouldn't have participated in the competition since you were injured. Now that you are going to compete with an injury, you should not feel burdened. It doesn't matter whether you get a ranking or not, just go and see the world."
"Yes, I know."
"Well... there's still a week left, why don't you practice your left hand first?"
"Well, I will practice hard."
"Great! I'll go tell the leaders right away."
Qiao Chu came to class despite his injury, and his classmates were very welcoming and caring.
"Xiao Qiao, how are you, does it still hurt?"
"Xiao Qiao, you are so badly injured, why don't you stay at home and rest for a few more days?"
"Xiao Qiao, you are not feeling well right now. If you need any help, please let me know."
Qiao Chu was deeply touched by everyone's concern. This kind of pure care without any purpose could only be experienced during one's student days.
"Thank you, everyone."
In every class that followed, Qiao Chu was the focus of the teachers' attention. They allowed her to use her brain instead of writing. But Qiao Chu still refused Shen Ling's help and insisted on copying the class notes herself, but she used her left hand.
She must start training from now on, and on the day of the final, she will have to answer the questions with her left hand.
