“Xiao Chen, I’ve packed my stuff, let’s go.”
“Give me the bag to carry.”
“Okay.”
Shen Qinghan didn’t stand on ceremony with Lin Zichen, and directly handed over the bag containing the school uniform to him.
Lin Zichen took the bag and left the classroom with Shen Qinghan.
Watching the two of them walk away, a girl in the class who had specifically transferred to Shanhai High School to be in the same class as Lin Zichen said dreamily:
“Lin Zichen is so gentlemanly, even knows how to carry a girl’s bag. I wish I were his childhood sweetheart.”
“Gentlemanly? More like showing off if you ask me! Today is free time, everyone is either chatting or walking around the campus, only he goes out of his way to exercise outside. Such a show-off!”
Next to the girl, a tall and skinny boy said disdainfully.
He was the top scorer of the middle school exams at Shanhai No.1 Middle School, with excellent academic grades and somewhat handsome features. For all three years of junior high, he was the school’s pride, surrounded by admiring peers, and received love letters until his hands were sore.
And the girl sitting beside him was the only one who could compete with him for the top spot throughout junior high.
During their rivalry, he gradually developed feelings for her.
After the middle school exams, upon learning that the girl had chosen Shanhai High School, he didn’t hesitate to turn down the high school principal’s retention efforts at Shanhai No.1 Middle School and followed the girl in choosing Shanhai High School.
Seeing the girl so enamored with Lin Zichen irritated him.
I was here first!
What does that guy have that I don’t?!
Why did things turn out like this?!
“Hey, we’re all classmates here, let’s not talk behind each other’s backs. If you really have an issue with him, just challenge him in the martial arts class,” said Lu Gang, who could lift 300kg with one hand, after hearing what the tall and skinny boy had just said, and walked over to speak to him.
The tall and skinny boy, instinctively wanting to snap back when confronted, turned around to face who had addressed him and found himself facing a nearly two-meter-tall behemoth. He immediately wimped out, not daring to make a sound.
Seeing him like this, the girl by his side promptly kicked him while he was down and said:
“Exactly, if you have a problem with Lin Zichen, just go and spar with him. But be careful not to end up like during the eight-school tournament, stepping on the Martial Stage and getting kicked off by one foot, landing face-first in the dirt.”
“You…!”
The tall and skinny boy was so angry he couldn’t speak, and suddenly felt that the girl in front of him was nauseating.
Lu Gang looked at the girl and asked, “That Lin Zichen, is he really that good?”
When the subject turned to Lin Zichen, the girl’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she enthusiastically listed her idol’s virtues for Lu Gang, “Amazing! Totally amazing! Absolutely unbeatable!”
“Since childhood, Lin Zichen is the most incredible straight-A student I’ve ever seen in real life!”
“You might not believe it, but when Lin Zichen started junior high, he toppled all the middle school students in the district!”
“And when I say all, I mean including the second and third graders too!”
“Also, it wasn’t just simple one-on-one fights!”
The girl grew more and more animated as she spoke, her face flushing with excitement, and she seemed overly thrilled, as if Lin Zichen were someone special to her.
A moment later.
After listening to her descriptions of Lin Zichen, Lu Gang couldn’t help but say with a smile, “Interesting, I should take the opportunity to have a spar with him someday.”
“Forget it, Lu Gang.”
At that moment, a muscular boy walked over and said,
He was the third top scorer of the middle school exams from Nanguan City.
A genius named Wang Shujie who could run a hundred meters in 7.98 seconds.
Wang Shujie walked up to Lu Gang and stopped, his face as calm as water, “No matter how formidable that person is, at the end of the day, they’re just a top scholar from one of Shanhai City’s districts, basically just a monkey calling itself king because there are no tigers in the mountains.”
“And you, you’re a genius who could rank within the top five in Nanguan City; there’s no need to lower your standards to find such an opponent to spar with.”
“If you want to spar, just come to me.”
This so-called genius named Wang Shujie was filled with disdain for the students of Shanhai City, which made many of the local students in the class feel uncomfortable.
Lu Gang waved his hand, “Forget it, sparring with you would be pointless. You’re too fast—I can’t hit you; you’re too weak—you can’t hurt me. We could fight for a long time on the stage and still not determine a winner.”
Wang Shujie smiled and said, “In that case, how about this—I’m planning to challenge the students from the advanced second-year class in a while. Shall we do it together then?”
“Fine by me!” Lu Gang agreed without a second thought.
After this exchange, the two quickly left the classroom together.
They were geniuses that the school had spent a fortune to recruit and were living in the faculty dormitories provided by the school.
Just the two of them, living in a luxurious three-bedroom apartment.
After the two had left, the boy and girl from Shanhai No.1 Middle School in the classroom were somewhat dazed.
A genius ranked in the top five in Nanguan City?
What’s happening?
How did our class get a scholastic champion from Nanguan City?
You see, the education level in Nanguan City is much higher than that of Shanhai City; they produce a provincial top scholar every few years.
Whereas Shanhai City has only had the good fortune of producing a provincial top scholar once in the past few decades—and that was over twenty years ago, so long past that it’s not even comparable to Nanguan City.
So, why would these two scholastic champions from Nanguan City come to Shanhai High School to study?
The boy and girl from Shanhai No.1 Middle School were utterly perplexed by this question.
On the school path, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan were strolling side by side at a leisurely pace.
Once out of the classroom, Shen Qinghan became much more lively, chatting nonstop with Lin Zichen all the way.
As she spoke, something suddenly occurred to her, and she said to Lin Zichen, “Oh, by the way, Mom just sent a message on WeChat saying she’ll be home late because of work at school today, and asked me to buy some vegetables on the way home after school. Let’s buy them at the vegetable market to the right outside the school gate later.”
“Let’s buy them at the supermarket. We’re young and not used to buying groceries, it’s easy to get swindled at roadside stands.”
“Then let’s go to the supermarket.”
After this simple exchange, they quickly left the school and took a bus to the nearest supermarket to buy groceries.
After getting off the bus, they still had to walk a distance to reach the supermarket.
While passing through an alleyway, Shen Qinghan suddenly got startled and pointed into the alley, “Xiao Chen, there are so many rats over there!”
Lin Zichen looked in the direction she pointed and indeed saw several rats in the alleyway.
Even more, there was a big rat fighting with a cat over cat food.
Faced with this scene, Lin Zichen’s eyebrows furrowed, and he picked up a stone with the intention of smashing the big rat that was fighting with the cat.
But then he thought better of it and in the end, decided not to do it.
For now, it’s probably best not to mess with creatures like rats.
After all, the mystery of the giant mutant rats still remains unsolved to this day.
No one knows how they suddenly appeared in human society, nor whether they have any connection to ordinary rats.
Lin Zichen was worried that killing the big rat in the alley might bring trouble upon himself.
