Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 245 The meaning is not important
"Here's the thing."

In dormitory 403, the six champions from Class Zero threw their jerseys into the bucket to soak. No one was scrambling to take a bath, so they sat together shirtless just to avoid missing out on gossip.

Li Yan, who was surrounded in the middle, said with a serious face, "You all know about this game. Due to the first half..."

"Skip it and get to the point." Lin Heng interrupted.

"When I was trying to break through, I was accidentally hit by a Nine Yin Bone Claw here." Li Yan pointed to the right side of his abdomen where the cotton gauze was stuck. "Adrenaline is really amazing. It made me feel nothing at all. I didn't even realize that this was a bleeding wound nearly four centimeters long."

"So serious?" Li Ruofei frowned.

"It was just a broken skin with some bleeding." Li Yan said with a smile, "So, I didn't think it was a big deal, but it happened to seep through the pink part of the jersey, which might look scary. She also said that she had learned a little bit of medical knowledge and could treat wounds, so she insisted on calling me over."

"She? Explain clearly." Zhu Qinglun was quite imposing.

"...Wei Yunzhi."

"Very good. Please continue."

"Yunzhi called me over and treated the wound. You guys just happened to see it."

"Please be more detailed. You explained it in such detail before, but you are going to simplify it here? You don't give the right amount of details or omissions, so I give you negative points!" Lin Heng slammed the table and stood up.

"...Yunzhi noticed blood on my jersey and waved me over. She took a look and found a wound, so she was going to clean my wound, but I thought it was too conspicuous, so she pulled me over to the tree pit." Li Yan put on a speechless expression, "Then she took out cotton gauze and alcohol from her small bag and started cleaning my wound. I felt my jersey was wet, so I lifted it up myself."

"Gone?"

"No, what else do you want to hear?"

"Everyone started to make a fuss and then the senior sister smiled and waved and left?" Liang Tiancheng looked anxious.

"I've told you all this, what else is there to say?"

"Liang Ban, this is not the point," Lin Heng shook his finger, "Dialogue, we want to hear the dialogue, what did you say?"

"...I said, this is not a good idea, and she said, what's wrong with that? Just treat the wound."

"The police didn't believe it after hearing it." Chen Fan added.

Li Yan raised her arms helplessly, "I've already said that she and I are just good friends. If any of you bring cotton gauze and alcohol..."

The five roommates suddenly burst into laughter and squirmed in their chairs.

Lin Heng pointed at Li Yan, looking very satisfied, "Come on, Old Yan, do it again, perform that again."

"She and I are just good friends."

The five people laughed so hard that they fell over.

damn it.

After enough gossip, several people took turns to take a shower. The physical excitement from playing ball gradually subsided, and soreness and fatigue came to the fore.

They decided to reward themselves by not going to night study tonight.

So when Li Yan was the last one to come out of the shower, all five roommates were lying on the bed.

"If you don't go to night study tonight, do you want to eat a burger? I'll order a meal."

"So rampant?" Zhu Qinglun was shocked.

"This guy was flirting with a senior from another school in front of Teacher Guo, but Teacher Guo didn't say anything. It's extra-standard, so let's just enjoy it." Lin Heng collapsed on the bed. It seemed that the aftereffects of physical overdraft had set in.

"Speaking of which, A-Yan," Li Ruofei started a new topic, "I still can't figure out why the coach of the basketball team and the referee, you say he is the captain of the basketball team, right? Why are they so..."

"Idiot." Chen Fan added.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Zhu Qinglun rarely pointed his gun at outsiders. "That referee was stupid enough. He took revenge just because Mr. Yan refused to join the team and felt embarrassed. I didn't expect that teacher to be in cahoots with him and collude with him..."

"They should know Li Yan, right? At least this teacher should know her. Look at the attitudes of other teachers and even school leaders towards Li Yan," Liang Tiancheng was still very excited because of that three-pointer. "They targeted her so openly just because she didn't join the team? I just can't understand it like Ruofei does."

"It turns out that idiots are everywhere." Lin Heng laughed, "This teacher is too narrow-minded. He wanted to dampen Old Yan's enthusiasm, but ended up getting backfired. I have to say two words to him: he deserves it."

"Li Yan, what do you think?" Chen Fan asked after realizing that Li Yan hadn't spoken for a long time.

His answer surprised everyone: "I'm not stupid. From their perspective, I can understand it."

"Ah? When did you become so merciful?" Lin Heng was shocked. "No, you were quite fierce on the court."

"They have their stance, and I naturally have mine."

Everyone used silence to express that they didn't understand. How can it be considered a stance to seek personal revenge in public?

"First, the status I gained through academic performance cannot be matched on the basketball court." Li Yan sat in front of the computer. "The respect for track and field and badminton did not come from my studies. I earned it step by step with my achievements."

"But they recognize your basketball skills and are here to recruit you," said Li Ruofei.

"The sentence above is just to deny the logic that the basketball team 'dare not offend me' because I have good academic performance." Li Yan continued, "Let me ask you, what do basketball coaches and captains do?"

"Playing basketball." Zhu Qinglun responded immediately.

"I am representing New Taipei First High School to participate in the competition. The coach hopes that the basketball team will achieve good results to add glory to his coaching career."

No one responded.

"Qiu Li is the best student in the first grade, and Class 9 has always been trained by the basketball team. Winning the championship will help the reputation of the basketball team and will also help Qiu Li build confidence. But if they are defeated by Class 0, which has always focused on participation, they will lose their spirit." "Why?" Liang Tiancheng asked sincerely.

"You'd have to ask those guys in the badminton team who wanted to beat me up the first time they saw me." Li Yan chuckled, "We represent the strongest academics, which is always associated with 'not good at sports' and is a stereotype. And the group of athletes is often considered to be poor academically, otherwise how could I have shocked you when I first came to school?"

"Oh... so you've been crushed in your studies. If you can't even beat others in the sports you're good at, you'll feel very frustrated?" Liang Tiancheng seemed to be thinking about it.

"The coach couldn't accept that the future of the basketball team would be ruined here, nor could he accept that the prestige of the basketball team would be hit, so he quickly tried to win me over. As long as I joined, the coach and the basketball team would be big winners regardless of winning or losing. Xu Xin was naturally the person who executed the coach's intentions."

"what……"

"When I refused to join, Xu Xin got anxious and tried every way to persuade me, even using provocation." Li Yan had already started typing on the keyboard. "Since he failed to persuade me to join, he had to do whatever it took to ensure the victory of Class Nine, no matter how ugly it was. You can see that for Xinbei No. 1 Middle School, the first-grade basketball game is just an entertainment activity, and the school doesn't take it seriously at all.

"So what if he offended me? Even if I complain to the principal in tears, the principal would at most criticize him. I believe that if Class Nine wins, he will be the first to apologize to me. In fact, after Xu Xin comforted Qiu Li, he also apologized to me immediately. If I don't join the team, the coach's first priority is to maintain Qiu Li's confidence and the prestige of the basketball team. He has only one task - to lead the New Taipei First Middle School basketball team to win awards."

"No, why did the principal just criticize him?" Zhu Qinglun was a little unhappy. "If you really went to see the principal, the principal would definitely express his attitude!"

"Okay, then don't just criticize him, scold him right in front of me. But who knows if it's just for show? Maybe if he scolds too harshly, the principal will have to treat him to dinner in the evening and tell him not to take it easy with a child." Li Yan glanced at Zhu Qinglun, "Qinglun, let me ask you, what do you want the principal to do?"

Zhu Qinglun did not respond.

"Announce the punishment to the world? Fire him? He is the coach of the basketball team. Scolding him is also to appease me. Firing him is also to appease me at most. He has been a basketball coach for many years. It will be very costly to replace him."

"You can really get the principal to fire him, right?" Zhu Qinglun was still a little conflicted.

"Of course I can," Li Yan laughed. "If I go to the principal and throw a tantrum, saying that if this idiot isn't expelled, I'll transfer to another school, then I believe the principal will expel him. Because if we were put on a scale, it would be obvious whose value is less important."

Zhu Qinglun stopped talking again.

"The question is, why should I put myself on the same level as him? It's so damn cheap." Li Yan laughed, "I'm not an idiot."

"So let's just forget about it?" Zhu Qinglun looked even more upset than Li Yan.

"It's pointless to use myself as a bargaining chip now," Li Yan shrugged. "It would be interesting if one day I could make him regret it so much that he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night with just a few words. Do you know Gu Ziyu?"

"I've heard about it. It seems like they had a fight in the bathroom with the track and field team for some unknown reason."

"All in all, I hold a grudge."

Li Yan did not say anything further, leaving Zhu Qinglun confused for a long time.

"It's a pity that in the end we lost both the wife and the army. After all the fuss, we still lost the game." Lin Heng sighed.

"We only lost the lady but not the soldiers." Li Yan said, "Qiu Li told him to play well, so the coach and Xu Xin stopped controlling the game. Qiu Li was more ambitious than they expected, and he was arrogant and refused to admit defeat. After I scored that goal in the one-on-one match, there was no possibility that he would lose confidence if he lost."

The five roommates looked around, and finally their eyes were focused on Li Yan's back.

After a long while, Lin Heng asked, "Old Yan, is this how you see the world?"

"Ok?"

"From the perspective of...interests?" Liang Tiancheng concluded.

Li Yan's fingers, which were flying on the keyboard, paused for a moment, "Maybe."

"Ayan's thinking has always been very adult and mature," Li Ruofei commented.

Then everyone nodded frequently, expressing their envy of Li Yan's mature thinking.

Li Yan's expression was complicated. He once hoped that he would mature early, but is it really a good thing to look at the world from this perspective?

Although Li Yan won the basketball game, she was not as excited as she had imagined.

The cheers weren't as loud as during the cultural performances, and the sense of accomplishment was far less than many other things he was currently doing. As for being admired... he was already a god in the first grade.

It's the icing on the cake, but it's so fancy that you can't see where it ends.

After Liang Tiancheng threw in a three-pointer, Li Yan rushed towards the slow long pass to prepare for a steal. At that moment, he actually had a strange thought in his mind:

Just don't intercept the ball and leave the chance for the final attack to me.

But in the end he was able to break through and overtake the score, leaving the last moment of the stage to Qiu Li who was gritting his teeth and Li Ruofei who was defending desperately.

At the moment the game ended, Li Yan's heart was not filled with joy and excitement, but rather with very adult thoughts.

Is it worth spending all that time for this moment?
Perhaps his excitement threshold has been raised very high, and his ambitions have long required a feast to satisfy them.

He had imagined in his mind that the championship of Class Zero would come from his explosive dunk or long three-pointer, but in the end it was won by a combination of Liang Tiancheng's magical three-pointer, his own steal and Li Ruofei's fatal block.

There was also the exhausted Lin Heng, the key replacement Hou Xuan, the cramped Bai Xiaosheng, the nearly cramped Zhu Qinglun, and the Chen Fan who participated in the game...

Chen Fan: Wait, are you polite?

Perhaps many years later, when the children come home from school wearing dirty jerseys and excitedly talk about how many shots they made today, these roommates who have already started families and careers will suddenly light up their eyes and start telling the children how their father overcame all obstacles and won the championship against all odds even when being targeted by the referee.

Liang Tiancheng's three-pointer will repeatedly hit the net in his mind until it becomes the annotation of his youth.

Thinking of the moment when he was lost in thought, Li Yan actually laughed to himself.

"Fuck, Lao Yan, are you chatting with the senior sister?"

The dormitory became noisy again.

Li Yan is going through her second puberty, so there is no need to ask the meaning of anything.
