Chapter 34 Can You Stop Being So Cheap?

On Thursday, Class 168 had the long-awaited physical education class.

In this age without smartphones and computers, campus life is indeed quite dull and boring. It is all about classes, classes and more classes, which is hard and boring. The two physical education classes per week naturally became the students' favorite courses. Before the classes started, everyone had already gathered in the playground.

Zou Zheng was the most active student in the physical education class. He had been showing himself in Class 168 without any concealment. He had received basketball, ping-pong balls and badminton in the office in advance, and as the person in charge of the class, he stood next to the physical education teacher with the list of students in Class 168 and helped the teacher to call the roll.

The other students were fine, at most they just couldn't stand it and thought Zou Zheng was showing off. But Wang Xiaokai hated him to the core, especially when Zou Zheng called out the names of several people in their dormitory. Zou Zheng deliberately raised his voice and prolonged his tone, with subtle sarcasm, but he couldn't get angry because Zou Zheng had absolutely legitimate reasons.

Wang Xiaokai was upset and said to Tian Zhuangzhuang: "Do you know how it feels to eat shit?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang was confused: "I don't know, have you eaten it?"

Zhang Yunqi laughed and said, "He has already eaten it in front of you just now."

In the first physical education class, the physical education teacher did not organize any sports activities. He simply said a few words and then let the students move freely in the school.

Wang Xiaokai brought over a basketball and called Zhang Yunqi and Tian Zhuangzhuang to play together. Together with several boys in the class, they formed three 3v3 groups. The rules of the game were that whoever scored three goals won, and the loser had to do push-ups.

Playing basketball was one of Zhang Yunqi's few hobbies in his previous life. He used to have a rather depressed personality, and playing basketball could help him vent his emotions, especially when he played well, he would feel like he had had enough. After work, he had fewer opportunities to play basketball, and he would occasionally invite a few friends to the gym to play, but he had been watching the NBA.

He likes Iverson very much. Iverson's indomitable style on the court is very exciting to watch. I remember watching the 76ers vs. the Lakers in the NBA Finals. Seeing that stubborn little guy running at lightning speed in a field full of strong players and showing his uniqueness really brought tears to his eyes.

When Zhang Yunqi, Wang Xiaokai and others were playing basketball, many girls were standing outside the basketball court watching. This seemed to be a feature of all schools. Girls like to watch boys who are youthful and energetic on the court. Moreover, in such occasions, they can cheer openly and look at boys whom they usually dare not look at.

For boys, this is also one of the few opportunities to show themselves in front of girls, and everyone is very excited as if they were injected with chicken blood.

In his previous life, Zhang Yunqi was pretty good at playing basketball, but he hadn't played for a long time and was not very good at it. However, the boys in his class were also very average at playing basketball, and they were all just playing against each other like rookies. However, he had never left the court and had never done push-ups. Sometimes, when he made a pretty impressive mid-range shot, he could even hear some girls applauding.

Originally, the feeling was pretty good, but when he turned around, he found that the person clapping was a girl as fat as a ball, who was squinting her eyes and smiling at him.

After that, he never made a basket again.

After playing for half an hour, Zhang Yunqi was sweating profusely. He went off the field to buy some water from the store. Unexpectedly, he saw Ji Ling. Ji Ling was sitting alone on a row of stone benches above the playground, with his chin supported by his hands. He saw him from a distance and waved for him to come over.

Zhang Yunqi laughed and turned to go to the store. A few minutes later, he walked over to Ji Ling and handed her a bottle of Huiyuan juice. Ji Ling asked, "Why didn't you come over when I asked you to?"

"You are so beautiful, wouldn't it be annoying if I went over to say hello to you?"

"Why are you here again now?"

"Now I have a legitimate reason to bring you a drink."

"Could you please not be so thick-skinned?"

Zhang Yunqi just smiled. He sat next to Ji Ling and drank some water. He looked down and had a clear view of the playground. The students were having fun. He turned to Ji Ling and said, "Your class is also having physical education class, right? Why don't you go down and play? It's so boring sitting here."

Ji Ling drank the Huiyuan juice and said: "No, I was watching you play basketball just now. You are quite good, Xiao Zhang. I saw several girls cheering for you just now." "Don't mention it. They are all ugly."

"Hey, I hear you sound quite excited. Zhang Yunqi, you are doing well in the No. 1 Middle School now. Tell me, which pretty girl in the class do you like?"

"No, I'm here to study hard. Let's go, what's the point of sitting here? I'll play badminton with you."

Ji Ling agreed.

Zhang Yunqi went to the court below with her to play badminton. Ji Ling seemed very happy at this time. When she swung the racket, her thin and long legs bounced, and her neat short hair fluttered in the wind, giving her a youthful vibe.

After fighting for about ten minutes, the get out of class was over and the two of them ate together in the cafeteria before separating.

The teachers assigned a lot of homework in the afternoon. Zhang Yunqi finished his math and physics homework during the self-study class. He didn't plan to do the geography and history homework. He patted Wang Xiaokai on the shoulder and asked, "Have you finished your geography homework?"

Wang Xiaokai looked at Zhang Yunqi and said, "After we're done, what do you want to do?"

Zhang Yunqi grabbed Wang Xiaokai's homework book and started copying without saying anything. Wang Xiaokai quickly asked, "What if the geography teacher finds out later?"

"It's okay. If the teacher asks, just say you copied it from me."

"Damn it! Do you have to be so mean?" Wang Xiaokai almost fainted from anger.

After copying the homework, Zhang Yunqi stretched himself and saw Wang Xiaokai lying on the desk doing his math homework. He felt a little bored. Thinking that the handheld game player he had left at Sister Li's consignment for two days, he wanted to go and see how it was selling. He stuffed the homework book into the desk and patted Wang Xiaokai on the shoulder.

Wang Xiaokai said impatiently: "What? Don't disturb me, I'm studying hard."

Seeing Wang Xiaokai pretending to be cool, Zhang Yunqi nodded: "Okay, then I'll go and be decadent first."

After saying that, Zhang Yunqi ran straight out the back door.

Zou Zheng, who was sitting at the door of the classroom, saw this scene and immediately stood up, staring at Zhang Yunqi and said, "The get out of class isn't over yet, where are you going?"

This kid has gone too far and thinks he is the monitor of Class 168. But Zhang Yunqi doesn't want to pay attention to him and walks out of the classroom.

Zou Zheng immediately ran over and blocked the classroom door, preventing Zhang Yunqi from leaving. Zhang Yunqi said to him, "You're going to be the class monitor soon, so pay attention to your public image."

Zou Zheng said with a sullen face: "This has nothing to do with whether I am the class monitor or not. We are all in the same class. Everyone has the right to uphold the class rules and everyone should abide by them. It's class time now. What are you doing leaving early without permission?"

Zhang Yunqi laughed and said, "Shit."

Zou Zheng said angrily: "Can you speak more elegantly?"

Zhang Yunqi was still laughing: "My butt wants to vomit."
