A CERTAIN SOMEONE ( THE ON1Y ONE )

Chapter 043 - Bet

How about you call me Ge once?

For the majority of the students, the true meaning behind the sports carnival wasn’t for the competition amongst youth and the chance to display vitality; but rather, it was the rare chance to relax and take a breath amidst the mountain of exams. There weren’t any classes for these two days, which was basically a monthly break. The entire school was excited, and were abnormally diligent in their preparation. In contrast, the teachers were much more unperturbed.

He Jin said that there weren’t any requirements for the minimum number in the audience. If they want to spectate, they could go. If not, they could stay behind for self-study too.
The bigshots of Class A had always put their studies first!
……
You have to be a fool to stay behind for self-study.
When He Jin returned from the office for a tag, not a single soul was left in the classroom.

“That bunch of brats,” she laughed as she cursed too, and walked towards the sports ground with the other homeroom teachers. Though in its core, the sports carnival was primarily for relaxation, friendship comes first and competition second etc etc, the moment they truly entered the place the competitive spirits of these middle-aged people all came out as they got caught up in this heart-racing atmosphere.
The teachers all appeared to be humble as they said “Our class can’t make it”, deep down they hoped that their students surpassed everyone else.

As He Jin entered as part of the formation of teachers, she nearly blacked out upon seeing Class A in the grandstand.
The top of their class had a giant banner, and the class slogan was written in white, on top of the red fabric. Everyone else had some inspirational line like ‘charge forward bravely, hot blooded youthful energy, second place at least and fight for the first, overcoming all difficulties’ etc etc, their class however looked like this:
Year 2 Class A, win or lose, it’s ok! Life is painful and brief, it’s over and that’s a relief!
The entire formation of teachers was doubled over in laughter.
He Jin charged over here as she covered her face, caught a boy nearby and asked, “Whose good idea was it for the slogan?”
“Oh, it’s Gao Tianyang’s.” The boy sold his bro out with zero hesitation.

Over there, Gao Tianyang was giving out team uniforms to the participants. Upon hearing his name, he turned around and gave a toothy grin. “Teacher! Look, we even got a uniform!”
The T-shirts were good T-shirts, the two vertical lines of dark blue at the side added a shapely outline to the shirt. The front of the shirt was an absolute ‘A’, behind was an even more absolute ‘Super A’. He Jin felt like she picked up a ghost.

Just as she was about to distance herself from them in order to not lose face, she was stopped by Yang Jing who strolled in, fashionably late. Today, Yang Jing had a completely different style from usual. She wore a white slim fit shirt and a sports skirt. She also wore a high ponytail and a white baseball cap, unexpectedly giving her a degree of vivaciousness. Class A students nearly couldn’t recognise her, and next they all turned agape one by one, their mouths couldn’t be closed.

“What are you guys even doing? Trying to copy administration’s Old Xu?” Yang Jing raised an eyebrow and turned her nose up at them. “How unsightly, shut it.”
The group of students near here all obediently shut their mouths.

“Hereherehere, let’s take a picture with the banner.” She beckoned He Jin who no longer had any will to live, and her long legs made its way to the top.
“It’s too silly, what’s the point?” He Jin said, exasperated.
“To post it in the friendship circle,” Yang Jing said, “flex our treasure of a class.”
He Jin ‘pffted’ into laughter.

“Holyshitwho’sthat?” Just as Sheng Wang was wrangling with Gao Tianyang about the dumbass uniform, he was given a scare by Yang Jing the moment he looked up.
The way he was thoroughly lost was so funny that it completely amused Yang Jing. She looked down, and saw another person sitting by Sheng Wang, his long legs propped up. He had his white earpiece stuffed in his ears, and his back was hunched over as he used his phone.
