“Are there two Xu Lins?”
Just as he stood up, he saw another sophomore boy standing up not far away, and Ye Fanleng smiled too.
“Alright, it’s just you two, co up.”
Xu Lin walked up to the stage like this. When he passed by the boys’ team, he heard them whispering.
“Close contact, I want that too.”
“No problem, when we pick up the shoes later, we can ask for an autograph, she won’t refuse.”
“You’re brilliant.”
But as Xu Lin walked onto the stage, many students below were stunned by his appearance, especially the girls.
“Who’s this handso guy? How co we didn’t notice such a handso guy in our school before!?”
“Yeah.”
“As for Xu Lin, I just saw him sitting with that Ji Yun, the sa one with Zhang Kang…”
“Oh, oh, I rember now. There seed to be so friction between them this morning.”
“That’s the guy from the ad shoot, right!”
“Ah? Seems like it! I heard he was a student from our school a while back, didn’t think it was true!”
“But he’s really handso! Not the greasy kind of handso like a celebrity, just naturally good-looking, like a character created in a video ga.”
“Yeah.”
Listening to the discussions around her, Ji Yun’s lips curved into a smile, but then she clenched her fist and muttered to herself.
“Don’t be so handso, really…”
Another Xu Lin felt a bit awkward, but in front of so many people, he could only stand there smiling awkwardly.
The two of them stood beside the shoes, and then Xu Lin took the list and started calling out the first na.
“Li Hanna!” Xu Lin glanced at the first na. It wasn’t pinyin, but having Hanna as the first one was really out of the ordinary!
Then a girl with braided hair ran up, and Xu Lin picked up the shoes corresponding to her size and handed them to her.
She took the shoebox, her big eyes staring at him for several seconds, making him a bit embarrassed too.
Finally, she smiled apologetically and quickly walked towards Ye Fanleng.
“Ms. Ye, hello, can you sign for ?”
“Hmm? Well, I can, but if I sign for you, everyone will want it. Although I’m fine with it, it’ll take up too much ti.”
“Alright~” The girl pursed her lips, feeling a bit disappointed.
“It’s okay, you’re the first one, I’ll sign for you. But for the others behind you, don’t co to , so everyone can get their shoes faster.”
“Okay!”
Afterwards, none of the students went to get Ye Fanleng’s signature anymore. At most, they just shook hands, and they were all girls.
The guys were eager just now, but none of them even approached, nervously glanced, and then hurriedly left.
That’s how it was for a thousand pairs, which took about half an hour, and they were almost done. However, the more it went on, the more uneasy Xu Lin felt because there was a na on top that belonged to Xu Lin.
This Xu Lin’s na wasn’t on the side of the first grade but on the side of the second grade. In other words, he was the extra one.
After calling out one Xu Lin, there wasn’t a second one. He voluntarily gave his shoes to the guy next to him.
At first, the other guy felt embarrassed, but Xu Lin pointed at the chart, and he saw that he was the Xu Lin being called out.
So, there was no more politeness, after all, who wouldn’t want a pair of nice sneakers.
After handing out the shoes, Xu Lin was about to leave, but Ye Fanleng directly stopped him.
“This classmate Xu Lin.”
“What’s up?”
“Co over here. What’s your shoe size?”
“It’s 42. I’ll co by next ti,” Xu Lin replied with an expression that showed he wasn’t familiar with the speaker.
“We’ve been discussing shoes, and coincidentally, I have a pair of size 42 display shoes here. If you don’t mind, you can have them.”
As they spoke, Ye Fanleng reached over and grabbed a pair of EXS shoes that were placed on the table, which were set to be unveiled at the new product launch event, and handed them to Xu Lin directly.
“This gift is too valuable.”
“It’s nothing. Just rember to attend our launch event.”
“Thank you, Ms. Ye.”
Taking the shoes, Xu Lin stepped down from the stage amidst the envious gazes of hundreds or even thousands of people and hurried back to his seat.
Of course, the most sour person was the other Xu Lin who had just stepped down. He felt like he should have been more modest.
What a pity!
Back at his seat, people around him shouted, “Open it up and take a look! What do they look like?”
Xu Lin opened the shoebox to reveal a pair of blue and white running shoes nestled inside, wrapped in a cloud-like bundle of fuzz.
“The packaging looks really nice.”
“Would you try them on?”
“Nah, I’ll try them on at ho.”
It’s not because his feet stink, but because many boys around him have taken off their shoes and started trying on new ones.
This caused the air around to beco foul, and he didn’t want to get involved; you’d be considered part of the stinky feet team even if your feet don’t stink.
Soon after, the class teachers began to maintain order; after all, they couldn’t let the air be filled with stench, especially with caras recording.
A few minutes later, everyone cald down, and several school leaders standing on the stage also spoke, with the vice principal keeping it brief as usual.
Then, after a short break, Ye Fanleng once again took the microphone.
“Finally, I want to reiterate the original intention of giving you all these shoes, despite it being an advertisent. We hope everyone will engage in more physical activities and maintain a healthy body.”
“So today I brought you shoes and also wanted to give everyone a good opportunity for exercise and competition. I shared this idea with the school.”
“The teachers are very supportive too, so tomorrow we will have a small running competition. I hope everyone will participate enthusiastically.”
“If General Manager Ye cos again, we will eagerly participate!”
“This student here, I will be leaving Linshui tomorrow noon, hoping to see everyone’s excellent performance.”
“For more details, please listen to your class teachers. Thank you all for taking ti off from studying today to listen to chat. See you all tomorrow.”
“Let’s give General Manager Ye a round of applause.” The principals also shouted as they ca over, and the students below applauded as well.
Ye Fanleng slowly stepped back into the background, and the principal ca to chat for a few more monts before announcing the adjournnt!
Everyone stood up with chairs and placed shoe boxes on the chairs. According to the arrangent, they left in an orderly manner, one class after another.
A few minutes later, when it was Xu Lin’s class’s turn, they also started to leave, but halfway through, the line broke up, and a group of people began to playfully ss around with the chairs.
As they reached the stairs, Xu Lin saw the ominous figure again, and Li Bin imdiately rushed up.
“Zhang Kang, do you still want trouble?!”
“I didn’t cause trouble. I apologized and accepted punishnt. My parents have been inford, and it’s over.”
Zhang Kang waved his hand indifferently, maintaining his nonchalant deanor, while Xu Lin also looked at him.
“Then you weren’t looking for , so we’ll be on our way.”
“No, I ca to find you.”
“And you say you’re not here to cause trouble!?” Ma Zhiyu slamd the chair down with a snap.
“Even if the teacher cos, it’s fine. I ca to challenge you. There’s a competition tomorrow between classes, and it’ll be a civilized competition between us.”
He glanced at Xu Lin provocatively, but Xu Lin almost burst out laughing; what childish, adolescent notion was this?
“I’m not participating.”
“Are you scared now?”
“Are you in elentary school? Watched too much TV, huh? I’m outta here!”
Xu Lin waved his hand, ignoring him directly and headed upstairs.
Ma Zhiyu and the others hurried to catch up, and the sports committee mber, He Run, also patted him on the shoulder and said, “Although he’s an athlete, but I’m also quite good, let deflate his spirit tomorrow!”
“Xu Lin, you’re really not participating? You’ve even got a new pair of good shoes.”
“I’ll think about it, it’s not like it’s a very serious competition anyway, I’ll just run if I feel like it.”
“Fair enough.”
“But I’m not participating for any other reason; I just think it’s too cruel to others, not very nice.”
“…”
“?”
“?”
