Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
While the students were still around after White Tiger’s cla.s.s, Xie Yujia dashed to the podium. “Cla.s.s Two, Please Stay!”
Zhou Liren and the guys stayed where they were. Students from Cla.s.s One left the cla.s.sroom as they peeked at her curiously.
“This Sunday will be our school’s Basketball Team’s first game in the National College Basketball League. Zhao Jiayi from our cla.s.s will be the main player on the Basketball Team. I am hoping that we could go to Sanmu University in Xinan City to cheer for them as a cla.s.s activity. Um… I will rent a bus, and I will cover the travel expenses. Let me make a list of who is going now,” Xie Yujia said on the podium in a crisp voice.
Although they had heard about this cla.s.s activity the week before, it was still exciting for the guys to find out about it from Xie Yujia. Since she was covering the travel expenses, it showed that she hoped everyone could be a part of it.
“How about this; I will call your names in order, and you can let me know if you are going or not,” Xie Yujia took her notebook out and continued.
She was wearing a little silver-grey jacket with a silky V-neck s.h.i.+rt underneath. The outfit made her look fresh and energetic. However, it was very similar to what she had on before.
“Cla.s.s President! Can we go over on Sat.u.r.day and spend the night there?” Yu Rong cried out from the back row.
“Yes, Cla.s.s President! We want to spend the night!” A few other guys shouted as well.
Xie Yujia looked at them with the notebook in her hand. “How many of you want to go over on Sat.u.r.day?”
Shoo, shoo, shoo… The guys raised their hands as if they had an agreed on it already.
Xie Yujia thought about it and turned to the few girls in the cla.s.s. “How about you girls?”
“I have plans for the weekend already. I’m not going,” w.a.n.g Jia said.
“I have no issues,” Ma Lina said. A few other girls said that they could go as well. At last, only w.a.n.g Jia, who didn’t get along with Xie Yujia, decided not to go.
“Ok, I need to confirm with you guys one by one as well. If there aren’t too many of us, I’ll just book a smaller bus. Are you going, Yu Rong?” Xie Yujia’s crisp voice, as well as her bright eyes, gave others a feeling of perfection.
“Yes!” Yu Rong said immediately.
“Xu Yandong!
“Yes!”
“Huang Jianfeng!”
“Yes!”
As Xie Yujia called out their names, everyone gave a clear answer. If she had asked them all together, everyone would have said yes. But when the time comes, they might not show up. Xie Yujia was very careful and detailed with things like this.
The list was finalized. Besides five guys who had plans for the weekend, most guys promised to go.
“Since you want to go on Sat.u.r.day, I will book the bus and hotel tomorrow. Let’s get a budget hotel which is cheaper, and I’ll a.s.sign two people to a room according to your dorms. You can rearrange later on,” Xie Yujia said.
The guy got more excited at this remark. Although they got to see each other in the dorms, it was a completely different feeling to ‘travel’ to another city and stay in a hotel.
“You can give me the money for the hotel when you get your rooms, and I will take care of the travel expenses. That’s all for now. You are dismissed!” Xie Yujia put her notebook away and smiled.
“She really looks prettier than before. Could it be the glow of love?” Zhou Liren asked as he looked at Xie Yujia.
Hao Ren lifted his head slightly to check her out, and he could sense ‘bright suns.h.i.+ne.’ However, he rolled his eyes at Zhou Liren’s ‘glow of love’ remark.
Xie Yujia went back to her seat to grab her stuff before she left the cla.s.sroom with Ma Lina. After Lin Li from Cla.s.s Three lost her t.i.tle as the most popular girl in the school, Xie Yujia became more popular in the Program.
Hao Ren knew that many of the guys in their program liked Xie Yujia, but they were too shy to let her know. Also, they got scared once they learned that her brother was Xie Wanjun. However, once Xie Wanjun left for the States, the braver guys would probably start pursuing her.
Hao Ren went to his other cla.s.ses with the guys as the day pa.s.sed by quickly. The cla.s.ses in the day finished around four or five in the afternoon, but Hao Ren didn’t have much interest in the two theory cla.s.ses in the evening.
Buzz…
Hao Ren’s cell phone vibrated.
“We will come with you to the big cla.s.s tonight, Gongzi!” Lu Linlin’s text suddenly showed up on his phone.
“They are so energetic…” Hao Ren thought for a bit and replied, “Next time. I have something to do today.”
“We wanted to eat dinner with Gongzi,” Lu Linlin sent another message.
Hao Ren was speechless as he replied “The same thing. Let’s do that a couple of days later.”
“Alright, come to find us in two days, Gongzi. We have something important to discuss with you,” there came another message from Lu Linlin.
“Something important?” Hao Ren dialed her number when he got to the school gate.
“Gongzi!” Lu Linlin sounded very cheerfully on the phone.
“What do you mean by important things?” Hao Ren asked.
“Humph, Gongzi hasn’t talked to us for a few days now,” Lu Linlin complained in a soft voice.
“No… I am busy lately. What did you mean by important things?”
“I’ll let Gongzi know in person. Um? Sis, you want to talk to Gongzi as well?” Lu Linlin was suddenly interrupted.
Soon enough, Hao Ren heard Lu Lili’s nervous voice through the phone, “Ah, there’s nothing much. I just want to hear Gongzi’s voice since it’s our first phone call.”
Hao Ren laughed as he found Lu Lili cute.
“Ok. I’ll go see you guys in a few days.” Hao Ren hung up as the bus was approaching, and he then got onto the bus.
“If I am going into the Nine Dragon Palace, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili should be two very powerful teammates,” Hao Ren thought.
The bus went toward LingZhao Middle School as Hao Ren called Zhao Yanzi, “Is school almost over?”
“Just finished. Why?” Zhao Yanzi answered with a slightly tired voice.
“You caught a cold?” Hao Ren asked immediately.
“Maybe a little,” Zhao Yanzi probably heard the noise of the bus and asked, “You are coming to my school?”
“Yeah, I’m picking you up.” Hao Ren put the phone away.
The sky was a little gloomy as if it was about to rain. It was a bit chilly, so Hao Ren closed the window of the bus and started to cultivate the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll.
At this moment, he suddenly saw the Nine Dragon Palace amongst the grey clouds above the city. It was about the same size as East Ocean City!
