Chapter 104: The Storm Gradually Subsides 3

  Ji Feng thought that the head teacher had already talked to Nan Xixi before and knew the cause and effect of the whole thing, so he would definitely give Nan Xixi an explanation. Of course, the head teacher wouldn't directly say it was Li Xinxin's doing, nor would she punish Li Xinxin. So, it seems that this matter won't have to wait until after National Day, in just one or two days, a teacher from the school's moral education department will come out to handle this matter and give everyone a lesson on thought and morality.

  He couldn't let himself hesitate anymore, he had to seize this opportunity. He must have a good talk with Nan Xixi before the class teacher arrived. Ji Fengyuan opened his pencil case and took a look at the schedule. This afternoon's second period was physical education class, which was a great opportunity. Last time in class, the physical education teacher said that both boys and girls would practice three-step layups. If he remembered correctly, when Nan Xixi heard this, her face scrunched up and she whispered to Li Qiaoqiao: "Qiaoqiao, what should I do? The next class is actually three-step layups, isn't this not taking me seriously? Originally, we short people are already at a disadvantage, and my arm and wrist strength are also very weak. This time it's really hopeless. It seems that I can only slip away when the time is right."

  In the second half of the afternoon physical education class, Li Muyu led everyone to line up and do warm-up exercises. After everything was ready, the physical education teacher, Wang Laoshi, arrived leisurely. All that could be heard was Wang Laoshi's loud voice, "Classmates, I've already told you last time, this lesson we're learning three-step layups. Of course, this is the first lesson, and I don't expect you to make a shot, but let's just learn the basic movements for now." According to my understanding, many boys in our class can play basketball, but those who can do three-step layups are not in the majority. And it seems that none of the girls in our class know how to play basketball, so the focus of this lesson is still on the girls. As soon as he finished speaking, Gan Lingling said loudly, "Wang Laoshi, there's a girl in our class who can play basketball, she's standing next to me, it's Li Wuxiao, she's liked playing basketball since she was little and plays very well. Li Muyu, isn't that right?"

  Li Mu Yu's face suddenly turned red. Because it was mentioned that Li was good at basketball, the classmates in the class all knew what was going on without saying a word. Li Mu Yu nodded heavily and said: "Yes, Teacher Wang, Li Wu Xiu is very good at playing basketball."

  Teacher Wang continued: "It's good this way, originally the teacher underestimated our class girls. There is also a hidden little expert. Unlike my previous classes where there were no girls playing basketball at all, and many of them had never even touched a basketball before. When the time comes, I'll ask Li to demonstrate to our class girls, and of course, the boys who are good at basketball will teach the girls too. Classmates should help each other out and love one another."

  The teacher first asked me to master the action, he told us that the three-step layup is commonly known as a fast break. For us beginners, especially girls, we should practice slow motion first and also adjust the size of our strides. Silently count one, two, three in your heart, and when you reach three, you can jump up.

  Later, you have to maintain a correct posture. You should lower the center of gravity of your body and hold the ball below your waist. Your body should be stable and your upper body should be straight... Of course, looking at the hoop is the most important thing. The teacher said that he has taught many girls who ran over and threw the ball without looking at the hoop because they were afraid of being hit by the ball. Not only did they not score, but they also hurt innocent bystanders. Many boys standing nearby were hit on the feet or hands.

  The boys, upon hearing this, didn't even start running and hid far away, let alone the spirit of unity and friendship. Teacher Wang first demonstrated it once, then had the boys try one by one. The teacher said that most of their postures were correct, only a few people need to pay attention to the rhythm of running and jumping, of course, there are also boys who can do it in one go, but not as many as the teacher imagined.

  Li Murui was still worthy of being the sports delegate, before him five boys did not score a goal, when he went up, our class girls were still jokingly shouting "leaking oil" to him, but he still scored. Later, some boys also scored one after another. When Ji Fengyuan made a three-pointer, many girls in our class stared at him, and the girls from other classes who took physical education class also glanced over here, afraid of missing Ji Fengyuan's shot, it was truly a sight to behold.

  I was also nervously waiting for him to shoot, afraid that if he didn't perform well, the ball wouldn't go in. When he jumped up three steps, the ball spun around the hoop once, and I really held my breath for him, thinking it wouldn't go in. But he seemed pretty calm about it.

  When it was our turn, none of us girls dared to go up, so Teacher Wang had Li Wu Xue demonstrate for us. Li Wu Xue's three-step layup was incredible! She may not be tall, but she used her quickness and cleverly ran past everyone, grasping the timing, aiming at the hoop, and controlling the strength of her shot. The ball went in easily, and it looked so cool!

  The girls all applauded, and the teacher looked at Li Wu Xue with approval. Even those boys had to admire Li Wu Xue's agile movements!

  Later, with ten minutes left, Teacher Wang let us practice freely. After all, this three-step layup can't be mastered overnight, and we're just trying to get a feel for it now.

  As soon as the teacher left, all the girls ran to sit by a nearby flower bed and started chatting about what they did after finishing their homework and reviewing their books last night, or what TV series they caught a glimpse of. The boys didn't practice much either, because they were going to divide into two teams for a PK ball skills competition.

  I'm a bit thirsty, I think I'll slip back to class to get some water first, because I've already figured out Wang teacher's teaching rhythm. He's a relaxed style, never takes roll call before the end of class, such a great teacher! Although the teacher doesn't take roll call, you still can't be too obvious about it, this is something I understand. Seeing no one noticing me, I quietly head towards the stairs.

  I had just gone up one floor when I heard Ji Fengyuan shouting at me from afar. I turned my head, and indeed it was Ji Fengyuan. I smiled and said: "So the class leader is also leading the way back to class, but you've been caught by me, you can't go tell the teacher on me!"

  Ji Fengyuan smiled and said, "How could that be? I'm not the kind of person who likes to report behind people's backs. I thought you should have known that by now. Besides, why can't the class monitor do it? The identity I represent now is not the class monitor, but Ji Fengyuan as a person talking to you. Let's go back to class first, Nan Xiuxiu, our English class representative."

  I walked side by side with Qifeng on the stairs, originally our class was only on the third floor, we should have been walking very quickly, but he was accommodating me and I was accommodating him, not wanting to walk too fast, step by step upwards, I could even hear his light breathing clearly.

  After returning to the classroom, I first took a few small sips of water. You know, a woman dresses for her own pleasure, right? Although I don't know if he likes me or not, but I know that I like him.

  Suddenly, Qi Feng said from afar: "Nan Xiuxiu, you don't have to worry about the rumors anymore. In a few more days, no one in school will mention your name again." I already knew it would turn out this way, but I didn't expect him to be so concerned about me. A small mouthful of water almost choked me, and he came over, patted my back, and said: "Are you okay? It's all my fault for speaking suddenly earlier. Are you alright? Hurry up and sit down, your face is all red from coughing."

  Half of it is because I'm blushing from coughing, and the other half is because you suddenly patted my back and got so close to me that I'm shyly red in the face. Of course, I couldn't say this to you.

  "Just listen, Ji Feng continued to say, 'Nan Xiuxiu, it's about that thing people said bad things about you. Maybe the class teacher can't give you a good explanation, but don't take it too seriously. And please don't ask for that girl's name, I won't tell you because it's for your own good. But believe me, all bad things will pass, and in the future, I'll protect you, so rest assured no one will dare treat you like this again.'"

  As I listened to Ji Feng saying such words, my head suddenly became dizzy. Is this a hint that he likes me? But he didn't use any affectionate language at all. Did I misunderstand him? Am I overthinking? I lowered my head, afraid that he would see through what I was thinking.

  "Nan Xianxian, why is it that the more I talk to you, the lower your head gets? Don't you have anything to say to me?"

  I suddenly lifted my head and said: "No, no, it's not that, I mean I don't have a lower and lower head, I... I like to keep my head down."

  The seasonal wind suddenly puffed out a laugh and said, "It seems that I haven't been paying enough attention to you lately. How come I feel like you always have your head held high with great confidence? Especially when answering questions in class, your words are clear and logical, I'm ashamed of myself."

  "That's different, I... I may have misunderstood just now."

  "What's different? What did you misunderstand then, tell me and let me hear."

  "It's just... I thought you were showing me... affection." Actually, I originally wanted to say "showing love", but if I did, my face would be utterly lost, and in the future, I still have to meet Ji Fengyuan with my head held high, this bet I'm not willing to make.

  The autumn wind gazed at me with a profound meaning, saying: "Oh oh oh, I see. So you think so for now, and when our mid-term exam results come out later, I have something to say to you. Hopefully we can still tacitly get the same score, of course, as well as other aspects of tacit understanding."

  Logically speaking, everyone wants to be the best, what does Ji Fengyuan mean by this sentence? I'm completely confused.
