"Damn, we're all brothers, what do you an by saying that? Besides, we're not scared of him. His dad isn't a leader at the school, nor a city official in Linzhou, so how could he control us here? Next ti, I'll bring so senior brothers from the Martial Arts Association, and I bet we can take him down!" He Guizhong exclaid, glaring.
"Exactly! If you can't outplay us in the ga, resorting to hitting? What kind of skill is that? So what if his dad's an official? It's just a Secretary-General. Is that supposed to be impressive?" Li Chenyu said disdainfully, pushing up his glasses.
"That's actually pretty impressive," Lu Lei said with a wry smile.
"Seriously, impressive?" Li Chenyu asked, slightly taken aback.
"In terms of rank, it's the sa as a county head. You tell , isn't that impressive?" Lu Lei responded.
Li Chenyu and He Guizhong gaped.
They were still students, techy guys at that, not really up to speed about the bureaucratic ladder, but they did understand what a county head's rank ant.
"We're students, not civil servants. What does it have to do with us whether soone is an official or not? We should act as we normally would! We're all classmates after all, so we tolerate when we can for now. Let's leave it at that for the mont. But if there's a next ti, I don't see why we need to be polite — we should report to the teachers if we need to and dominate thoroughly on the court if it cos to that." Ge Dongxu said, his face showing a rare solemnity.
Lu Lei and the others looked at Ge Dongxu with a bit of surprise upon hearing this.
"Look at that, Dongxu, you've got a bit of a leader's grace in you. Next ti we play basketball, you better not bail on us. Damn, I don't know who sorted the classes, how all the tall guys ended up in their class, and in our class, aside from the three of us with decent height, the rest are no better than Li Chenyu." After a mont, He Guizhong patted Ge Dongxu heavily on the shoulder.
"Hey, He Guizhong, what do you an by that? Are you discriminating or what?" Li Chenyu imdiately protested.
"I'm not discriminating or singling you out, just stating facts. Look at our class, then look at Class 2. If Ge Dongxu here doesn't step in, and they start using brute force on the court, we really wouldn't stand a chance against them," He Guizhong explained.
"Alright, no need to exaggerate that much. Even without , there's still Xu Tongjie and Ren Lu, right? After all is said and done, you're just annoyed that I didn't play basketball with you this morning," Ge Dongxu replied, sounding a bit annoyed.
"Good that you know. There's an old saying, 'fighting tigers is for brothers, going into battle should be like father and son.' We're dormitory brothers, and with you around, Lu Lei and I can feel at ease! Xu Tongjie and Ren Lu, at most they'd just help break up a fight," He Guizhong said.
"It's not that I don't want to play basketball, it's just that my skills are too good. If I played, it wouldn't be fun for you guys. But if Sun Wenjun keeps it up, I wouldn't mind giving him a taste of being dominated on the court," Ge Dongxu explained, knowing He Guizhong was still brooding over the morning's events.
"Yeah, right!" Instead of mollifying them, Ge Dongxu's explanation led He Guizhong and the others to give him a dismissive hand gesture in unison.
"Hey, I'm serious," Ge Dongxu insisted.
"Get lost!" the three said bluntly.
…
During the midnight and dawn hours, Ge Dongxu still got up punctually and quietly went to the top of Dragon Rest Mountain to ditate and cultivate.
However, ever since Ge Dongxu's cultivation had entered Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, the speed of his cultivation had obviously slowed down sowhat, and it was no longer likely that he would make another breakthrough in a short period of ti.
But Ge Dongxu was not in a hurry. During his three years in high school, the speed of his cultivation had been too fast, especially after he accidentally entered the Unity of Heaven and Man realm during the sumr vacation. His realm had soared consecutively, and he now greatly needed so ti to consolidate his gains.
Tuesday morning was ti for two periods of college English, and of course, the person teaching English was not the blonde woman Li Chenyu and others had been dreaming of, but a very ordinary middle-aged female teacher.
During class, Ge Dongxu noticed that there was a clear tension between Sun Wenjun and Lu Lei.
In their exchanges of glances, Sun Wenjun's eyes carried an obvious arrogance, disdain, and a provocative flavor, while Lu Lei seed quite annoyed.
"What? Can't accept it? If you dare, let's have another match soti!" After class, Sun Wenjun walked past Lu Lei accompanied by two boys who were both over 175 cm tall, and seeing Lu Lei looking at him, he disdainfully curled his lips and said.
"Don't get cocky, Sun Wenjun. We can have another match! But Lu Lei's nose is injured; we'll have to wait a couple of days!" He Guizhong said.
"Alright, let's set it for Thursday afternoon then, we don't have classes anyway! But this ti, let's make it clear, if we accidentally hit your nose during the ga, don't play the victim and start crying, otherwise it won't be fun," Sun Wenjun said.
"You!" He Guizhong and the others were instantly enraged upon hearing this, but Ge Dongxu stayed very calm, stopping them and looking at Sun Wenjun, he said indifferently, "That's fine, accidents do happen in basketball. But I have a condition, if you lose, you must apologize for hitting Lu Lei's nose yesterday."
"No problem, as long as you have the ability to beat us. But what if you lose?" Sun Wenjun asked.
"If we lose, I'll treat you guys to a al at Crystal Hall, and you can choose the dishes," Ge Dongxu said.
Crystal Hall was a restaurant within Jiangnan University. Although its prices were reasonable compared to external restaurants, it was definitely a high-expenditure place compared to the student cafeteria, a luxurious spot frequented by wealthy students or teachers. Ordinary students seldom ventured there.
Lu Lei, He Guizhong, and Li Chenyu did not co from wealthy families. Hearing Ge Dongxu say he'd treat them to a al at Crystal Hall if they lost, and that Sun Wenjun and others could pick the dishes, they were all shocked and their expressions changed.
They were not at all confident about winning!
When the male students of Class 2 heard about this bet, their eyes lit up, and they crowded around, asking Ge Dongxu, "Hey Ge Dongxu, are you serious about this?"
"I'm not a three-year-old child, would I be joking?" Ge Dongxu replied.
"Haha, no problem, since you're inviting, let's make it official, play a full ga, and I'll invite seniors from the team to referee, so you don't accuse us of playing dirty later," Sun Wenjun laughed, and many of the boys from Class 2 laughed along.
Lu Lei and the others looked sowhat dismayed upon hearing this, while Ge Dongxu just smiled and said, "That's fine too. But don't forget, if you lose the day after tomorrow, you'll have to apologize for what happened yesterday."
"Haha, no problem, but you guys have to win first," Sun Wenjun laughed confidently as he walked away.
"Haha, Ge Dongxu, just get ready to treat us, back in high school I was on the school team. My target was actually the seniors on the college team, I generally wouldn't bother with your level, but since you're inviting us, I'll definitely participate the day after tomorrow," a guy who was 185 cm tall clapped Ge Dongxu on the shoulder and then walked away laughing.
