BXBX NOVEL Chapter 191 – Reward
Even two good basketball players can play a wonderful match. Shen ShaoYi and Liu HuaiShui are both students from the 2-2 class. If they do high-speed passes in front of me, I am not confident that I can intercept the ball.
Ah, if I say it like that, it makes it seem like that I will participate in the tournament.
I did not participate in last year’s tournament. Because the boys who represented our class were all amateurs, they were beaten by class 2 by 60-0. They were only able to get their score in the double digits a couple minutes before the game ended.
I remember that since our class lost so badly, and the opponent Shen ShaoYi looked cool, a lot of girls from our class became his fans and started to cheer for him.
However, the female PE committee member, Xiong YaoYue, was jumping up and down in anger. She cheered for our team until her voice became hoarse. If someone was not holding her back, she might have barged onto the field and given Shen ShaoYi a taste of her skills.
The class leader was standing next to Xiong YaoYue at that time. She was holding Xiong YaoYue back along with Loud Mouth to prevent her from rushing out. At the same time, she was calmly suggesting to the teacher that they should replace the exhausted members.
There were not many people in our class who played basketball, and there were fewer substitutes. I did not stand together with my classmates at the time but stood diagonally opposite to the class leader.
Now that I think back, the class leader seemed to have sent me a glance as if I could go out to the rescue.
However, I had no sense of honor for our class, and I felt the score had already been set. There was too large of a difference in skill between the two teams, and there was no value in watching the game for technical consultations. Thus I faced the class leader’s help-seeking eyes, ignored them, and walked away to watch other games.
I did not help it last year, but I cannot do that this year. After all, I was appointed as a PE committee member!
As a PE committee member, and also as the person closest to basketball ‘team members’, the class leader and Xiong YaoYue probably would not forgive me if I do not participate.
But it’s not like I am Superman. If I am the only person on the team who can play, we would not get a good result no matter what —— don’t tell me that I am also responsible for training them?
Every morning, I learn Yin Yang Sanshou from gramps, I secretly manage the adult goods store every day during class, I also have to deal with surprise attacks that Ai ShuQiao could launch at any time... I am busy as hell, and now I am responsible for training the boys in our class in basketball?
Speak of the devil. Right when I was thinking about this matter, the class leader was walking towards me.
Liu HuaiShui snickered next to me: “Hey, hey, your beautiful class leader is here! Why are you not going to greet her? It’s probably not convenient to speak here since there’s too many people!”
I waved my hand: “It’s fine, continue playing.”
Based on prior experience, if the class leader approaches me in school, then it is usually for official business.
As expected, when she got closer she first took a look at the field before she turned to me and said:
“Ye Lin, did you know about the basketball tournament in half a month?”
I nodded.
“As a PE committee member, do you have any reason to not personally lead the team?”
I shook my head.
“That’s good..” The class leader breathed a sigh of relief and said, “I can actually give teacher Yu some relief if you can give win an award for the 2-3 class.”
Wait! Wait for a second! I only agreed to lead the team, I never said I would win! Class 2-1 and 2-4 should be fine, but class 2-2 has Shen ShaoYi and Liu HuaiShui! Li ErLeng is also in their class! If the sinister Liu HuaiShui puts Li ErLeng on the court to carry out foul tactics, who would dare to pass in front of him!
So I listed the difficulties to the class leader.
After listening to my explanation quietly, she did not question me about any certain difficulty, but instead asked: “Are there any difficulties that absolutely cannot be overcome?”
I blinked. “It seems that there are none.”
“Since you can overcome it through hard work, please work hard for the honor of the class! I will get the whole class to support you.”
“Huh? You make it sound easy!” I frowned, “I don’t really have a sense of honor like you. If you make me train these amateurs and pit me against masters from the school team, I’ll overwork myself to death. Even if I do win, it’s just a plaque on a wall! You would be happy looking at it, but what about me? What benefits would you give me!”
The class leader held her chin in thought, then suddenly asked: “Was my stewed beef and potatoes good?”
It was good... It was delicious! Especially after eating the pig slop served in the cafeteria, I would salivate every time your food is mentioned!
“If you take the tournament seriously and work hard to train everyone. In addition, if you manage to take number among the classes in our grade....”
“Then what?” I asked impatiently.
Under my questioning, the class leader’s eyebrows seemed to be determined.
” —— Then, I will open my family restaurant to you. As long as you make an appointment on the previous day, you can come to my house for dinner the next day, valid until summer vacation begins!”
I counted with my fingers. It was currently May, if I was lucky, then I could get at least a month of dinners at the class leader’s home. Of course, it would be shamelessly asking for a meal every day.
The reward sounds good, but I think people should set their goals higher.
Thus I joked: “Class leader, what if I surpass the goal?”
“Surpass the goal?” The class leader did not understand.
“Uh, what if we not only took first among our year, but we also beat the third years, and became the champion of the entire school? At that time, wouldn’t it be too stingy just to treat me to a meal?”
“What else do you want?” The class leader seemed to be troubled by my insatiable greed and unconsciously bit her lower lip.
“Glory, class leader, think about it, it’s the honor and glory of becoming the school champion!” I tried to fuel the fire, “Even you girls who are the strongest at volleyball has not won the school championship! If the PE committee member you appointed lead the team to win the school championship, wouldn’t you be respected, and our class teacher Yu would be happy to the point where snot would flow out of his nose?”
Unexpectedly, the hesitation on the class leader’s left as quickly as it came. She quickly recovered her calmness and said to me coldly: “Wait until you actually take the championship!”
How sly! After watching Captain Guo SongTao, the class leader immediately understood the skill level of the third years, it would not be easy for me to make a dent!
I did not give up and repeated: “There’s always a possibility. If you don’t tell me the reward beforehand, I’ll ask for whatever I want once we take the championship. You better not regret it at that time!”
I was not sure when Liu HuaiShui and the other three players moved further away, leaving space under the basketball hoop for me and the class leader. It was as if the topic of conversation between us had changed from a business to a private matter.
I was also not sure what I said wrong. The class leader did not respond for a long time, but her attention was focused on the court.
When the class leader spoke again, the topic shifted towards an unexpected direction.
“Ye Lin, I have something I want to ask you....”
“What?”
“I’ve never told anyone this before. Although it doesn’t feel appropriate to tell you, it feels even more inappropriate to tell a girl... Anyway, I want to hear your opinion.”
The class leader is rarely this coy! What do you need my opinion on?
“Umm... Ye Lin, if you had a sister, would you have abnormal feelings towards them?”
Huh? Don’t scare me! How does the class leader know about Ai Mi? I never had any abnormal feelings towards my sister! Also, I did not know she was my sister at the time! I was entrapped! It was that damn homo Peng TouSi who almost caused me to push down my sister!
The class leader did not notice my strange complexion, and she continued to speak quieter:
“Actually, last night when I was asleep, Xiao Zhe came to my room. He... even lifted my blankets...”
“I... I quickly woke up and drove him out, but he had no intention of self-reflection. He just thought he was unlucky that he was discovered... Ye Lin, do you think my brother’s behavior is normal? Do all boys do this stuff during puberty?”
