That day, Zhou Rui didn't return to Class 3 until after the evening self-study session ended. He seed quite happy staying in Class 1.
What was most infuriating was that Zhou Rui started taking classes in Class 1 the next day, and no teacher chased him away.
This degree of shalessness really made Chai icen lant her inferiority.
As a result, quite a few people went to Class 1 to watch the spectacle.
Zhuo Wenqian even took photos of Zhou Rui with her phone. When Zhou Rui saw Zhuo Wenqian, he made victory signs and happily posed for her photos.
After taking the photos, Zhuo Wenqian returned to the classroom to show them to Chai icen. Chai icen was so angry that smoke seed to billow from her seven orifices. She stamped her feet in frustration.
This kid really had strong survival skills. She wished she could give him a good beating.
On Thursday after the evening self-study session, Chai icen could no longer sit still. She went to the sports field to look for Zhou Rui.
At that ti, Zhou Rui was playing basketball with so classmates. Chai icen walked right over and called out, "Zhou Rui!"
Zhou Rui pretended not to hear and continued playing basketball.
By now, anyone who knew Zhou Rui also knew Chai icen. They all looked at each other, and in the end no one responded, pretending not to know anything. Neither side wanted trouble, so they just feigned ignorance.
Chai icen walked over and called out again, but Zhou Rui still ignored her.
Alright, now he was giving her the cold shoulder.
Yang Ming hurried over to tell Chai icen, "Beauty Sis, Zhou Bro is just a bit prideful. If you make him lose face in public, he'll probably get even more..."
This degree of sulking was really childish of Zhou Rui.
Chai icen nodded, then walked to the middle of the court.
Zhou Rui saw the basketball about to hit Chai icen, so he reached out to block it for her.
With his large hands, he could grab the basketball directly. He then spun the ball and asked her, "What do you want? School's over, can't I play so ball? Don't you know about developing morally, intellectually, physically and aesthetically?"
"Fine, then let's develop together and play a match."
When Zhou Rui heard this, he laughed. With Chai icen's height, she wanted to play basketball?
Could she even touch the hoop?
He tossed the basketball to Chai icen and said, "Can you dribble? Show ."
Chai icen reached up and caught it. Then with a backwards flick of her wrist, she sent the basketball neatly swishing into the hoop before it bounced out.
When she shot, she had her back to the hoop. She threw the ball imdiately after catching it, without even looking. This accuracy made quite a few people cry out in surprise.
Even Zhou Rui was stunned. He would never have believed his mom could actually play basketball.
"One-on-one," Chai icen said to Zhou Rui.
"You're on," Zhou Rui replied roguishly.
Zhou Rui was actually quite good at basketball, tall enough with an astonishing wingspan.
With his height and reach, spreading his arms out in front of little Chai icen really seed intimidating.
The two were clearly not in the sa weight class.
Chai icen weighed a little under 90 pounds.
Zhou Rui weighed over 130 pounds.
He was also a full head taller than her.
Yet the two actually battled fiercely. For a ti, they went at it relentlessly.
Zhou Rui was good at rebounds and could even dunk occasionally, looking extrely cool.
As Chai icen knew she was height-disadvantaged, she relied on her agility to gain so advantages. She also knew she was short, so she only shot 3-pointers.
When Zhou Rui saw her about to shoot, he would jump up to block her. But Chai icen would fake him out with a sudden change of direction and shoot from another angle.
"Not bad, you even know how to fake." Zhou Rui couldn't help but exclaim, montarily forgetting they were competitors.
"Humph, you're still too green," Chai icen retorted.
"Interesting," Zhou Rui slapped his own face. "I'm getting serious now!"
Initially, everyone was just watching for entertainnt, waiting to see Zhou Rui toy with Chai icen. They didn't expect that gradually, more people gathered to watch. Even Yang Ming recorded a video the whole ti.
"Damn, my beauty sis' skills are lit!" Yang Ming couldn't help but exclaim as he recorded with his phone.
"Yeah, you can tell she's in good shape, and she can really play. It's not just flashy moves." Li Xiaonan also comnted.
"Beauty sis looks kind of cool playing basketball."
"Yeah, I kind of want to play a match against her too."
Yang Ming turned to give Li Xiaonan a black person question mark look.
When he saw Chai icen play basketball, his heart surged with excitent. All he could think was:
Ah ah ah, beauty sis is so cool!
Ah ah ah, beauty sis is so pretty.
Beauty sis, I want to wave a glow stick for you.
Beauty sis! You're the best!
Yet Li Xiaonan simply thought: I want to play a match against her.
If Zhou Rui was single because he was picky, Li Xiaonan was single because he was dense.
He looked around again and realized the other boys seed to feel the sa way. So were quietly discussing how Chai icen really was quite extraordinary.
Most interesting was that the school seed to have female fans of Chai icen.
One by one, they gathered around. Seeing Chai icen play basketball against Zhou Rui, they couldn't stop crying out.
"Oh my god, so cool!"
"I think I have a little crush on Chai icen now. She's really so pretty, and manly too."
"Yeah! I just like girls with that kind of genuine personality."
"This family's genes are just so great. Zhou Rui is also super cool..."
The girls kept shrieking excitedly.
Later, Zhou Rui stopped playing.
To put it nicely, they reached a draw, but strictly speaking, Zhou Rui had lost.
After all, Chai icen had been scoring 3-pointers, so her cumulative score must be higher than his.
He could have bullied her by shooting 3's too since she couldn't block him, but his accuracy wasn't as good as Chai icen's.
"You win," Zhou Rui conceded unhappily.
"Co back to Class 3," Chai icen demanded.
"Let think about it," Zhou Rui said.
"What, you're still sulking?" Chai icen stood by Zhou Rui's side and asked.
"Don't ntion it. I was so angry that day I nearly had liver pain," Zhou Rui said, clutching his torso.
"I told you to study properly, and you say you have liver pain while clutching your large intestine. Are you kidding ?" Chai icen was rendered entirely speechless.
At this ti, Li Xiaonan walked over and said to Chai icen, "Let's you and play a match."
"Sure," Chai icen readily agreed.
Playing one-on-one with Li Xiaonan, Chai icen found it a bit more difficult.
Li Xiaonan's 3-pointers were decent. With Chai icen's lack of height, she was struggling more to block him. Innate disadvantages were hard to overco.
Plus, she had already played vigorously against Zhou Rui for a while, so her stamina was lagging.
After playing for a bit, the two decided to stop.
But when they ca over, they noticed Zhou Rui's expression seed off.
Zhou Rui grabbed Chai icen by the collar and dragged her away, ignoring Li Xiaonan.
Li Xiaonan wondered aloud, "What's wrong?"
"You two are spreading affair rumors. While you played basketball, a bunch of people whistled and jeered, saying you two looked quite well-matched, with equal skills." Yang Ming explained, rather helplessly.
"How can I explain things?" Li Xiaonan was quite troubled that this matter had spread so wildly.
"You can go on the forums and say you actually love Zhou Rui. That would resolve it," Yang Ming suggested.
"Piss off."
Zhou Rui dragged Chai icen away by the collar while she struggled uncomfortably, yelling, "Hey! What are you doing?"
Once they were so distance away, Zhou Rui let go of Chai icen and just pressed his lips together silently.
Chai icen looked at Zhou Rui as they stood shoulder-to-shoulder, blankly staring off at the bushes in the distance.
"Alright, alright. I was too hot-tempered that day," Chai icen finally conceded her mistake.
"Will you do it again?" Zhou Rui asked her.
"Isn't that a rhetorical question? When have I ever controlled my temper? Of course I'll do it again, but I won't get mad this ti, okay?"
"Humph."
"And what about you, still not learning anything?" Chai icen stood by Zhou Rui's side and questioned.
"I'm studying. I specially went to find Zhang from Harvard to teach , that genius aiming for Harvard. He's much more even-tempered than you, and explains better too," Zhou Rui rebutted.
As soon as Chai icen heard this, she perked up and crowded over, asking Zhou Rui, "Oh, that good? Mom will treat this little classmate to a al, okay?"
"Don't scare him off."
"Okay, okay, you study properly with him then."
After saying this, Chai icen tiptoed and ruffled Zhou Rui's hair, "My son is really not bad, knowing to study hard now. That's great!"
"Of course." Zhou Rui cocked his brows arrogantly at Chai icen.
From this incident, Chai icen's na inexplicably beca well-known.
A girl who even the school tyrant feared, with the looks of an angel and the temper of a devil.
She was a legend.
Many people secretly discussed on the forums just who exactly Chai icen was.
Such a fiery temper, yet so capable, playing basketball so coolly, no wonder she was Zhou Rui's relative.
The students on the forum said this explosive temper was really interesting, much better than that inwardly vicious Zhao Bingqing pretending to be aloof.
Soon, it was almost the end of the month, and after that would be the National Day long holiday.
Within these few days, two big events were about to happen: the monthly exam, and the school sports et.
Chai icen's focus was on the monthly exam.
Zhou Rui's focus was on the sports et.
Aside from academics, their Class 3 did decently in sports.
But in 10th grade, although their class ranked 2nd overall in the year group, it was entirely carried by the boys' events. The girls' events were a total failure, dragging down their score greatly.
There were only five girls total in their class. In other classes, each girl could only sign up for two events. But in their class, each girl signed up for multiple events, practically sticking a note on their foreheads that said "Participation matters most."
Zhou Rui still rembered one girl from their class who ran the 1500m race. Girls from other classes finished after two laps, but she was still lumbering along halfway through the last lap.
When she finally completed the whole race, she moved the entire Jiashan Middle School.
Purely relying on willpower to persevere without any actual skill.
As a result, they were still very worried this ti around.
"Your explosive power is still decent," Zhou Rui leaned forward and said to Chai icen in front of him.
"I'm looking for cram schools for you, focusing on hand speed and explosiveness. I'll sign you up for three events," Chai icen said, looking through ssages on her phone.
"Help out and participate in the sports et. I'll study properly the whole National Day holiday, okay?" Zhou Rui was really going all out.
Chai icen looked up at Zhou Rui and asked, "You said?"
"Yes!"
"I can do the sprints, but don't sign up for the 100m. My legs are short so I don't have an advantage there. I can do the 200m and 400m." Chai icen replied.
"But you have to be in the 4x100m relay. There are only six girls total. You and Zhuo Wenqian both look quite agile."
"Fine," Chai icen nodded.
"Another high jump, you and Zhuo Wenqian."
When Chai icen heard there were so many events, she thought for a mont and then nodded in agreent: "Okay."
"How about a 3,000 ter run?" Zhou Rui looked at the registration form and asked.
"Are you trying to run to death to inherit my fortune or sothing?"
"Then 1,500 ters it is."
"800 ters."
"Fine, both together then."
"..." Looking at Zhou Rui writing down nas, Chai icen couldn't help but doubt whether she really was Zhou Rui's mother or not.
Was this how a loving mother would pit soone against so many events?
