Chu Qing smiled. Sports meet… How nostalgic.
In Chu Qing’s previous life, he didn’t take part in the sports meet. Instead, he just observed the event from the sidelines. As time passed, he started to reflect on his decision and felt a sense of regret. He realized that participating in the sports meet would have been more enjoyable and engaging.
He did not expect that he would really have the chance to participate and bring glory to the class this time. Thinking about it, he was filled with anticipation.
“By the way, Brother Chu, when did you become so good at studying?”
Lin Dong stammered with his mouth full of food.
“Tsk, when was 1 bad at studying?”
Chu Qing pursed his lips. He was a terrible student previously.
Should he get rid of Lin Dong who knew too much?
Chu Qing hesitated…
“Hey, Chu Qing. You guys are in the canteen too.”
A coquettish laugh came from behind them. A girl in a school uniform suddenly approached. Although she wore a baggy school uniform, it could not hide her hot figure at all. With every move, this girl exuded the charm of youth.
“Oh? What’s up, Lin Wan’er?”
Chu Qing scratched his head. In his impression, he didn’t have much interaction with this girl…
Chu Qing and Lin Wan’er had a special bond that could be described as an unexplainable connection. They were like childhood sweethearts. They attended the same kindergarten, elementary school, and junior high school together. During their time in junior high school, they were classmates and even sat next to each other as desk partners for a while.
In Chu Qing’s memory, Lin Wan’er was known as the school belle. She had an attractive physique and exuded youthful energy. However, what stood out the most was her singing talent. Anyone who had the privilege of hearing Lin Wan’er sing would be captivated by her melodious voice and be drawn to her charm.
Previously, Chu Qing and Lin Wan’er had a considerable amount of interaction. Lin Wan’er was full of passion, youthful, and had good manners. It seemed that she had never been in a romantic relationship during their school years and could be described as kind-hearted towards others.
“Pfft, can’t I come and greet an old friend?”
Lin Wan’er sat casually beside Chu Qing, not caring about her image at all. She looked at Chu Qing.
“Sure, of course. It’s just that…”
Chu Qing was a little hesitant, not knowing how to describe it.
“Don’t think too much. In our school, you’re a famous person now. You defeated Tang Ziyan in basketball, so I think highly of you.”
Lin Wan’er patted Chu Qing’s shoulder and chuckled. She continued. “Fine, I have something to tell you this time.”
Chu Qing gazed at her with a sense of anticipation. Lin Wan’er held a notable status in their school, even being compared to Tang Ziyan in terms of attractiveness. However, both Tang Ziyan and Lin Wan’er had unique qualities. While one excelled in sports, particularly basketball, the other showcased exceptional musical talent. Lin Wan’er not only possessed a beautiful singing voice but also played the guitar skillfully. They both had distinct strengths that made them equally remarkable in their own ways.
Recently, the long-standing deadlock between them was finally broken. Through the intense battle between Tang Ziyan and Chu Qing, Tang Ziyan’s true nature became more apparent and understandable.
Even if Lin Wan’er started to show interest in Chu Qing because of his newfound fame, it’s unlikely that she would believe it herself.
“Someone organized a class reunion. Guess who?”
Chu Qing pondered for a moment and said, “Zhuo Buqun?”
A hint of surprise appeared in Lin Wan er’s eyes. “How did you know?”
“Hehe, he’s the only one in our class who likes to be in the limelight. Who else could it be?”
Although Chu Qing was smiling, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes. He was really familiar with this person.
Zhuo Buqun was a typical wealthy second-generation heir who had a sense of entitlement. He believed that the world revolved around him. Although his academic performance was commendable and he had average athletic abilities, he earned the reputation of being the “class hunk” at one point.
However, if there was anyone Zhuo Buqun held the most disdain for, it would be Chu Qing. During their time in junior high school, Chu Qing garnered significant attention due to his looks. However, Chu Qing preferred to embrace his nerdy side. He found dating to be exhausting and didn’t enjoy engaging in such activities.
However, to Chu Qing’s surprise, Zhuo Buqun started spreading slanderous and hurtful words about him. For instance, Zhuo Buqun claimed that Chu Qing lacked hygiene and insinuated that there was something wrong with his family. According to Zhuo Buqun, the only reason why girls showed any interest in Chu Qing was because of these supposed shortcomings.
Chu Qing only found out about this when he was about to graduate. It was Lin Wan’er who told him about it once. When Chu Qing expressed that he didn’t know anything, Lin Wan er’s eyes widened.
The two of them were deskmates at that time. Lin Wan’er wanted to stand up for Chu Qing, but the latter refused. He didn’t need a woman to stand up for him.
Ultimately, this issue was never resolved, leaving a lingering impact on Chu Qing. Zhuo Buqun’s actions had nearly ruined Chu Qing’s experience during junior high school, leaving an emotional hurdle that he struggled to overcome..
