After Differentiation, I Marked My Arch-nemesis - Chapter 76

The entire class instantly got excited when they heard Tan Yushan say “spring sports meet.”

“Wow—”

“Spring sports meet—”

The school sports meet was the large-scale event they looked forward to the most.

“Don’t get too excited. Listen to me first,” Tan Yushan waved his hand to signal for everyone to quiet down. “For this sports meet, I have some requirements for you.”

The whole class immediately quieted down.

Tan Yushan scanned the class and said solemnly, “Although students who participate in the sports meet can go to the field to train freely during the last self-study session, I absolutely will not allow you to participate in the sports meet just to go out and play. If I find out, I will invite your parents to my office for a talk. You also know that the sports meet is about the honor of the entire class, so you should know when to play and when not to.”

He paused and continued, “I believe you all know what’s right.”

The whole class started to agree.

They all promised Tan Yushan that they would train seriously and not play around.

Tan Yushan knew that the school held the spring sports meet to let students exercise and relax. Students who spent all day in the classroom studying also needed time to release stress. He also knew that he couldn’t be on the field watching them train all the time.

Anyway, if they were going to play, they should have fun.

He didn’t actually plan on managing them too much.

He walked down from the podium and handed the sports meet registration form to the sports representative, Jiang Yunxiao. “Students who want to participate in the sports meet, go to the sports representative to sign up after class.”

Then he left the classroom.

After Tan Yushan disappeared, Jin Rubing asked Lu Yaoyi.

“Yaoyi, should we go sign up for badminton doubles after class?”

Lu Yaoyi turned her head to look at Jin Rubing and asked, “You want to participate in doubles?”

Jin Rubing nodded. “Mhm, I want to.”

Lu Yaoyi: “Okay.”

Jin Rubing: “Really?”

Lu Yaoyi: “Mhm.”

She and Jin Rubing often played badminton together in gym class. Since Jin Rubing wanted to participate in badminton doubles with her, she would do it. Anyway, she liked playing badminton, and a little exercise and relaxation were not a problem.

Jin Rubing hugged Lu Yaoyi gratefully. “Thank you, Yaoyi.”

Lu Yaoyi’s lips curved slightly. “You’re welcome.”

After class,

Class 1, Grade 1, instantly became a commotion, and students ran to Jiang Yunxiao to sign up.

Jiang Yunxiao’s seat was immediately surrounded.

“Don’t rush…”

“You guys come and sign up one by one.”

Chen Huaian looked at the students who were swarming over to Jiang Yunxiao. He then looked back at Jiang Youli beside him. “Boss, do you want to participate in the sports meet?”

“No,” Jiang Youli took out her phone from her drawer. “Not interested.”

“But Teacher Tan said that if we participate in the sports meet, we can go out for free training during the last self-study session,” Chen Huaian smiled slyly at Jiang Youli. “How about we…”

“If we participate in the sports meet, we’ll have to compete with students from other classes. I don’t have the energy, and there’s no event I want to participate in. Let’s just forget about it,” Jiang Youli didn’t really care about whether she could go out and play. Anyway, she and Chen Huaian often snuck out during the last self-study session. “And even if we don’t participate in the sports meet, can’t we still go out during self-study?”

Chen Huaian smiled thoughtfully. “The boss is right.”

Jiang Youli: “Let’s play a game.”

Chen Huaian: “Okay.”

In the afternoon,

Tan Yushan came to Class 1, Grade 1, before the last self-study session.

The students standing in the hallway immediately ran back to the classroom and sat down.

The whole class looked at Tan Yushan.

Tan Yushan walked onto the podium in front of everyone, then faced the class and said seriously, “Students who have signed up for the sports meet can go to the field to train now. The other students who haven’t participated in the sports meet, stay in the classroom for self-study.”

As soon as he finished speaking,

The students who had signed up for the spring sports meet started to run out of the classroom.

Jiang Youli sat in her seat with her legs crossed. Her gaze unintentionally fell on Lu Yaoyi in the second row in front of her. Lu Yaoyi and Jin Rubing left the classroom together. When she saw this, many questions immediately popped into her mind.

Lu Yaoyi actually signed up for the sports meet?

No way…

She put her legs down and sat up straight. She patted Chen Huaian’s shoulder. “Huaian.”

Chen Huaian was playing on his phone. “What’s wrong?”

Jiang Youli: “Go to Jiang Yunxiao and get the sports meet registration form.”

Chen Huaian: “Boss, what do you want to see the sports meet registration form for?”

Jiang Youli: “Just go get it.”

Chen Huaian: “Okay.”

He said, looking at Jiang Yunxiao’s seat. “Jiang Yunxiao is not here.”

Jiang Youli: “He probably just left and hasn’t gone far.”

Chen Huaian: “I’ll go chase him.”

With that, he left the classroom to find Jiang Yunxiao and get the sports meet registration form.

A little while later,

Chen Huaian excitedly returned to Jiang Youli and put the spring sports meet registration form on Jiang Youli’s desk. “Boss, here you go. The sports meet registration form.”

Jiang Youli picked up the sports meet registration form and looked at it closely.

She saw Lu Yaoyi’s name clearly written in the badminton doubles column.

“…”

“Lu Yaoyi really did sign up for the sports meet…”

She sounded like she was talking to herself.

Lu Yaoyi?

“Boss…” Chen Huaian looked at Jiang Youli strangely. “You asked me to get the sports meet registration form… Don’t tell me you wanted to see if Lu Yaoyi signed up?”

Jiang Youli stared at Lu Yaoyi’s name on the registration form and answered subconsciously.

“Mhm.”

Chen Huaian looked at Jiang Youli in surprise.

He couldn’t help but ask, “Boss, since when have you cared so much about Lu Yaoyi?”

Jiang Youli suddenly came back to her senses.

“…”

She guiltily handed the sports meet registration form to Chen Huaian. “I was just casually looking at the registration form. Who cares about her? Okay, now go return the registration form.”

Chen Huaian took the sports meet registration form and shrugged. “Okay.”

The bell for the last class rang.

Only a few students who didn’t participate in the spring sports meet were left in Class 1, Grade 1.

Tan Yushan sat on the podium with a blank expression.

It was fine when there were a lot of people.

Now that there were fewer people, the remaining students were especially noticeable.

Jiang Youli had planned to sneak out during self-study to watch Lu Yaoyi play badminton since there was no teacher. But Tan Yushan sat on the podium and showed no signs of leaving. She suspected that Tan Yushan was deliberately staying in the classroom to watch them, the students who didn’t participate in the spring sports meet. She had to give up the idea of sneaking out.

Darn it…

Lu Yaoyi and Jin Rubing went to the gymnasium to change into their sports uniforms. They then took a badminton racket and a shuttlecock and went to the badminton court next to the field.

As soon as the two of them arrived at the badminton court, they saw Jin Rubing’s boyfriend.

—He Suixun.

And a male Alpha beside He Suixun.

He Suixun waved at them. “Rubing, come over here.”

Jin Rubing held Lu Yaoyi’s hand and walked over excitedly. She looked at the badminton racket in He Suixun’s hand and asked, “Axun, are you here to play badminton, too?”

He Suixun: “Mhm.”

He said, pointing to the male Alpha beside him. “This is my classmate and good friend, A-Shu. A-Shu and I are participating in badminton doubles together.”

Luo Jiashu’s lips curved into a smile. “Hello, I’m Luo Jiashu.”

“Hello, A-Shu. I’m Jin Rubing,” Jin Rubing returned a smile and said, holding Lu Yaoyi’s hand, “I don’t think I need to introduce Yaoyi to you, do I?”

Luo Jiashu looked at Lu Yaoyi with an intense gaze and didn’t say anything.

“Everyone in Jiangcheng No. 1 High School knows Lu Yaoyi, so of course you don’t need to introduce her,” He Suixun held the badminton racket in his hand and suggested with a smile, “Rubing, since we’re all participating in badminton doubles, how about we practice badminton doubles together?”

Jin Rubing was of course willing to practice badminton doubles with her boyfriend.

But…

She wasn’t sure if Lu Yaoyi was willing.

She looked at Lu Yaoyi. “Yaoyi, what do you think?”

Lu Yaoyi didn’t like to interact with people she didn’t know, especially male Alphas she didn’t know. But she didn’t want to ruin Jin Rubing’s fun because of her personal reasons. She was only willing to interact with He Suixun and Luo Jiashu for Jin Rubing’s sake.

But it was only for practicing badminton doubles together.

So she agreed for Jin Rubing’s sake. “Mhm.”

Jin Rubing hugged Lu Yaoyi gratefully. “Yaoyi, you’re so good.”

He Suixun: “Then should we start practicing badminton doubles now?”

Jin Rubing smiled happily. “Okay.”

The classroom was very quiet.

Jiang Youli had always thought that Tan Yushan would leave after staying in the classroom for a while, but Tan Yushan didn’t give her and Chen Huaian any chance to sneak out. Tan Yushan sat on the podium until the bell for the last class rang and almost always stared at her and Chen Huaian.

She was speechless.

Her idea of going out to watch Lu Yaoyi play badminton was a bust.

Wednesday.

The third class in the afternoon and the last self-study session were for school-wide cleaning.

They could move around freely during the cleaning session.

The field was filled with athletes from all classes training for the sports meet.

For the past two days, Tan Yushan had been in the classroom during self-study. Jiang Youli never had a chance to sneak out and watch Lu Yaoyi play badminton. Now, the school-wide cleaning finally gave her a chance, but she didn’t want to be too obvious, so she made an excuse.

“Huaian, let’s go. Let’s go watch Ziqin and Chuanchuan play volleyball.”

It was a good thing that both Cen Ziqin and Shen Yichuan had signed up for volleyball.

And the volleyball court was next to the badminton court.

Chen Huaian agreed without hesitation. “Okay, let’s go, boss.”

The weather was pretty good today.

Jiang Youli and Chen Huaian walked to the volleyball court together, facing the breeze. The volleyball court was filled with athletes from all grades practicing volleyball. The two of them immediately saw Cen Ziqin in the crowd and walked toward Class 2, Grade 1, where she was.

“Ziqin!”

Chen Huaian yelled at the top of his lungs.

Cen Ziqin heard the call and immediately threw the volleyball in her hand to someone in her class. She walked up to Jiang Youli and Chen Huaian and asked, “Why are you guys suddenly at the volleyball court?”

Chen Huaian: “The boss said she wanted to watch you and Chuanchuan play volleyball.”

He glanced at the volleyball court. “Where’s Chuanchuan? Why don’t I see him?”

“There are no more empty spots on the volleyball court,” Cen Ziqin stretched lazily and pressed her fingers. “The people from Class 5 who are participating in volleyball all went to the field.”

Jiang Youli was focused on watching Lu Yaoyi play badminton.

She completely ignored the conversation between the two people beside her.

She unconsciously looked at the badminton court next door, searching for Lu Yaoyi’s figure.

She saw Lu Yaoyi playing doubles with a male Alpha, and Jin Rubing on the other side was also playing doubles with a male Alpha. She immediately frowned and stared. How was Lu Yaoyi playing badminton with a male Alpha?

Cen Ziqin saw that Jiang Youli hadn’t said anything for a while and asked, “A-You?”

Jiang Youli ignored her.

“…”

Cen Ziqin followed Jiang Youli’s gaze and looked at the badminton court next door.

She saw Lu Yaoyi.

“A-You…”

After she confirmed that Jiang Youli was looking at Lu Yaoyi, she asked, “Are you looking at Lu Yaoyi?”

Jiang Youli: “Ziqin.”

Cen Ziqin: “Huh?”

Jiang Youli looked at the male Alpha waving a badminton racket next to Lu Yaoyi, and her face suddenly turned sour. “Who’s the Alpha playing badminton with Lu Yaoyi?”

Cen Ziqin: “Those two Alphas are from Class 3.”

Jiang Youli: “From Class 3?”

Cen Ziqin: “Mhm, they’ve been playing badminton together these past few days.”

Jiang Youli: “???”

Playing badminton together these past few days?

Lu Yaoyi has been playing badminton with another Alpha these past few days?

And she hadn’t told her.

A wave of resentment immediately burned in her heart, and she felt very unhappy.

How could Lu Yaoyi hide from her and play badminton with another Alpha?

“Cen Ziqin!”

A pleasant voice came.

Cen Ziqin looked over at the sound. It was their class’s beautiful Omega, Pei Jingning.

Cen Ziqin looked at Pei Jingning and answered, “What’s wrong?”

Pei Jingning: “Come back and practice.”

Cen Ziqin: “Okay.”

She looked back at Jiang Youli. “A-You, our class’s beautiful girl called me back to practice. I’m going now. I’ll come back and find you guys after I’m done practicing.”

With that, she ran back.

But Jiang Youli, who was focused on Lu Yaoyi, didn’t hear her at all.

Jiang Youli stared at the Alpha next to Lu Yaoyi and said coldly, “Huaian.”

Chen Huaian: “Huh?”

Jiang Youli: “Go call Jiang Yunxiao over now.”

Chen Huaian: “Why do you want him to come over?”

Jiang Youli: “I want to participate in badminton doubles.”
