Chapter 129 This is not about money
Just as Ning Caicai was about to ask something, Li Mo's phone rang at that inopportune moment.
"Hey, why are you rushing me? I'm already at the school gate."
Zhang Shaohua urged, "Come in quickly when you arrive. What are you dawdling at the door for?"
"What's the rush? There's still half an hour before the match. Can't I just grab a bite to eat outside?"
"Okay, okay, hurry up and finish eating and come in. Our class is counting on you."
.......
Hearing the familiar voice coming from the other person's phone, Ning Caicai opened her mouth to say something, but Ye Lan stopped her with a gesture.
Ye Lan shook her head, signaling her not to speak.
Seeing this, Ning Caicai suppressed the words in her heart.
It was obvious that Li Mo was an accomplice that Zhang Shaohua had hired to deal with their class.
However, Xiao Guobiao's strength was no match for Ye Lan's.
With that thought in mind, Ning Caicai buried her head in eating her noodles without any hesitation.
Because Li Mo was in a hurry to meet his client, he ate very quickly, finishing all the food in no time, and then left in a hurry.
Ye Lan didn't try to stop her, she just said "Take care".
"He must be the player Zhang Shaohua hired to deal with our class," Ning Caicai said, a hint of displeasure in her clear eyes as she watched Li Mo's retreating figure.
Ye Lan lit a cigarette and let out a long sigh:
"It must be him."
"But your teacher Zhang has a really sharp eye. He randomly invited someone who turned out to be one of my fans. Isn't that hilarious?"
Ning Caicai suddenly remembered something, "Right, why didn't you let me tell him the truth just now?"
"Don't you want to see what Zhang Shaohua's expression will be when he finds out that the thugs he hired are my fans?"
After Ye Lan said that, Ning Caicai suddenly became interested.
"To be honest, I'm actually quite looking forward to it."
"I'm looking forward to it too."
Ye Lan exhaled a puff of smoke, which swirled around Ning Caicai's nose in the gentle breeze.
Ning Caicai, who already disliked the smell of smoke, couldn't help but frown.
Why do so many men smoke after they grow up? Is it really because they have too many worries or their lives are too bitter?
Upon hearing this, Ye Lan exhaled a smoke ring and gave a disdainful smile.
"Not really."
"Then why do you all like to smoke?"
"Because minors are not allowed to smoke."
Ning Caicai was completely speechless.
So, the reason why minors aren't allowed to smoke is that morality and law are restricting your nicotine addiction.
"Didn't you smoke in high school?" Ning Caicai suddenly asked.
"I used to smoke. As soon as get out of class ended, I would go to the toilet with a few buddies to smoke. We were really poor back then, so three or four of us would share one cigarette, each of us taking a puff."
"Ugh, disgusting." Ning Caicai frowned slightly, her eyes filled with disgust.
"Boys are different from girls. Do you know what it feels like after evening self-study, when you make a bowl of instant noodles and everyone in the dorm takes a bite, even drinking the soup clean?"
"I've eaten a lot of instant noodles since graduation, but I've never had that same feeling again."
Ye Lan's face showed some sadness; many things are only remembered after they have passed.
“I know what you’re trying to say. Lu Xun said in ‘The Village Opera’ that what’s delicious isn’t instant noodles, but the person you’re eating them with.”
"Yeah, that's pretty much the feeling."
While the two were chatting, Ye Lan's cigarette was already empty.
In the past, he would never have been willing to throw away that cigarette butt.
But now that I'm making money and have money in my pocket, I don't care about those cigarette butts anymore.
Ye Lan pressed the cigarette butt against the wall, easily extinguishing the sparks, and then threw it into the trash can next to the table.
"Let's go back to school. I'm getting more and more excited for Zhang Shaohua's shocked expression."
The two returned to school.
Students from each class marched into the venue in formations, and a host with a pleasant voice introduced the slogans of each class.
Ye Lan couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.
Slogans like "Class Three, Class Three, like tigers descending the mountain, no matter which class it is, we'll take them all down!" and "Class One, Class One, extraordinary indeed, we'll punch Class Two and kick Class Three!"...
So many years have passed, and the slogans are still the same few.
After the opening ceremony, all the students stood on the playground, listening to the principal's speech.
It simply means that we should develop morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and practically; we should not only have a smart brain, but also a strong body.
After the principal finished speaking, the autumn sports meet of Jiangcheng No. 1 Junior High School officially began.
The first event was a battle of champions between classes.
It uses a single-elimination system.
In other words, the two classes compete against each other, the winner advances, the loser is eliminated, and finally a first place is selected.
"Big brother, you'll help us win the championship, right?"
"The rules of the game state that I can only play if both sides have foreign players, so I can't be with you guys in every game."
"We're really good, just you wait and see, big brother."
"Yes, I promise I'll watch your performance with my eyes wide open."
Ye Lan affectionately patted the little girl's head, feeling completely soothed.
"Teacher Ning, your Class 3's first opponent is our Class 4. Are you prepared to lose?"
Just then, Zhang Shaohua walked to the rest area of the third squad, his bald head gleaming brightly.
It makes people afraid to look directly.
Ning Caicai snorted coldly: "I'll return that to you as well."
Zhang Shaohua's gaze shifted to Ye Lan.
"If I'm not mistaken, your confidence probably comes from your boyfriend."
"I'm not afraid to tell you, I've invited a national standard ballroom expert this time!"
Upon hearing this, the students in the audience erupted in an uproar.
For those whose highest rank is only Diamond, the National Standard rank is practically a god-like existence.
They might play for a whole year and still not see a national standard once.
Just then, Li Mo emerged from behind Zhang Shaohua.
He originally wanted to give a cool self-introduction.
But when he saw Ye Lan smiling and waving at him from the steps, he froze on the spot.
He turned his head in disbelief and asked Zhang Shaohua.
"Boss, are they the opponents we need to defeat?"
"Yeah, two young punks shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?"
Li Mo gave a wry smile, and just like his name, he remained silent and taciturn.
"Disaster."
"It's okay, just try your best. If you win, I'll give you more money."
"This isn't about money."
A conflicted expression appeared on Li Mo's face, so he decided to bring things up directly.
"do you know who he is?"
"Ye Lan is currently the most awesome streamer in the King of Glory community."
"Reaching the top spot with a perfect record—you probably don't know what that means. Even professional players can't do it, but he did it!"
“I watch his live streams and his teaching videos every day. In other words, I was able to obtain the national standard because of him.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Shaohua froze on the spot.
He shakily raised his head and looked at Ye Lan on the steps.
Ye Lan greeted the two with a smile, as gentle and unassuming as the warm sun in spring.
