Divorce Revenge System: Knowing the Future in Advance-Chapter 853 - 638: The Patron’s Gift (Part 2)

Chapter 853: Chapter 638: The Patron’s Gift (Part 2)
The class president didn’t participate; she didn’t like being in the spotlight. The most effort she put in was during the autumn sports event.
As for Xu Qianqian and others, they simply wouldn’t join. These two sisters avoided such events whenever possible.
Thanks to the former homeroom teacher, the entire class actually lacked any sense of collective honor; it was basically everyone for themselves.
When Class Three made their move, the two of them were the first to run away.
Even though the school assigned them a new homeroom teacher, with the college entrance exam looming, there was no need for repair.
After graduation, no big deal if they lose touch.
"Chi Shi, you came over here?" Li Hua grabbed him, "byd, came to see the girls!"
Afterwards, Ma Guojun cheerfully appeared.
Liu Yang, Lin Dong, and the others followed behind. Basically a small group from Class Three were all here to watch the finals.
"Huh?" Jiang Nian was a bit confused, "Why did you all come over?"
"We lost."
"All got knocked out in the first round." Liu Yang was embarrassed, "The boys’ group was highly competitive."
"Ah, should’ve had you participate."
"I can’t jump rope," Jiang Nian refused.
Upon hearing this, Lin Dong looked puzzled.
"Is there anything you can’t do?"
Jiang Nian rolled his eyes, "There’s plenty I can’t do; jumping rope is something only athletes need to practice, right?"
"But even athletes can’t outrun you," Lin Dong teased.
No one dwelled on this topic, and Li Hua shouted, "I should’ve just come to watch the girls from the start."
"Jiang Nian saw everything," Ma Guojun sneered, adding fuel to the fire.
"Chi Shi, this byd is truly shameless." Li Hua cried in agony, "You shameless thing, you enjoyed it, huh!"
Actually, it wasn’t true; with temperatures low at the end of February, the girls were mostly in jackets, nothing much to see.
Bunny hops were available too, but Jiang Nian didn’t bother to look.
He was lazy with small events, and he’d seen the larger ones before. In the public eye, he cared about his reputation.
"Hua, heard of a gentleman being discreet?" he said, "In broad daylight, how could I be like you?"
"Chi Shi indeed."
Ma Guojun stifled a laugh, "A gentleman discreet, Li Hua watching the show."
"Hahaha!!"
A group of boys laughed, leaving Li Hua alone in Chi Shi’s red-warm wounded world.
....
Class Three was relatively lucky; at least they secured a spot in the women’s top eight, with Wang Yuhe dominating her way into the finals.
Their class formed a circle, waiting to watch the finals.
"Go Wang Yuhe!"
"Win the championship!"
Jiang Nian stood in the inner circle and glanced at the elementary students. She was tall with good stamina, not breaking a sweat after a round.
She rolled up her jacket sleeves, revealing a pair of jade-like arms.
Wang Yuhe’s bull-like strength was almost overwhelming among the girls; even against boys, she still outperformed most.
This, he knew for sure.
Jiang Nian was already considering how to smoothly get ahold of her pair of badminton rackets.
Wang Yuhe glanced at him and secretly flipped a middle finger.
"Hmph!"
Jiang Nian didn’t mind and, from the corner of his eye, noticed a familiar face among the girls’ top eight.
The big sponsor, Xu Shuang.
Xu Shuang also noticed him, and her gaze lingered a bit longer. Feeling it rude to look away, she nodded her head.
Jiang Nian was a bit surprised and thought, Is the sponsor really in such good physical shape?
"Hmm."
The whistle blew, and the scene erupted with cheers like a mountain roar that echoed over the sports field.
Jump ropes became almost like shadows, wrapping around a few participants.
As time passed, mistakes began to occur. Some couldn’t keep up their stamina, and one by one they fell.
Eventually, only four girls remained.
Li Hua stroked his chin, suddenly amused, and elbowed Jiang Nian, "If only a Dragonfly Captain emerged, that’d be perfect."
Jiang Nian turned his head and replied calmly.
"Then the question is, do you know why it’s called Dragonfly Captain and not some other kind of captain?"
Li Hua, like Louis XVI, was baffled.
"Kind of captain?"
"Wouldn’t that thing be considered foul if brought out?"
Beside him, Ma Guojun couldn’t hold back and started explaining, "Because the dragonfly in Japan is the insect of victory."
"Ohh." Li Hua was bewildered and suddenly lifted his head in amazement, "Wow, how did you know that?"
No fear of a friend’s ignorance, only fear of a friend’s enlightenment.
Goodness, secretly studying, huh?
"Saw it in av."
"Oh, huh?"
Even more absurd, Li Hua wondered if his ears were malfunctioning, "Did you just say v, isn’t it dv?"
Ma Guojun said, "Saw it in a film, the lead returned to the countryside..."
"Stop." Liu Yang couldn’t hold back, these two byd guys were even more shameless than him; there were girls next to them.
Jiang Nian rubbed his chin, "You’re quite particular in liking art films, make sure to send me a copy."
Liu Yang couldn’t take it anymore; these dogged Three Jokers.
"Let’s watch the competition."
In the semifinals, one girl was drenched in sweat. Her movements slowed, and eventually, she couldn’t hold on and lost.
After securing a top-three position, another girl voluntarily stopped.
In the end, only Wang Yuhe and Xu Shuang remained, still insisting on jumping rope, with the sponsor’s face increasingly sweaty.
Talent is no match for... a pupil.
Regrettably defeated.
When it was clear Wang Yuhe had secured a top-two finish, Jiang Nian was already relaxed; the second-place racket was great too.
But first place would be even better.
"Wow!! First place!"
"Champion!"
"Wang Yuhe is so fierce, with such strong cardio?"
Within the crowd, Class Three erupted with cheers. Although it was a school event, victory indeed boosted morale.
When the prize ceremony ended, Jiang Nian mingled with the crowd, ready to head back.
Suddenly, someone tapped on his arm.
"Wait a minute."
"Hmm?"
He turned and found it was the sponsor Xu Shuang. She was slightly sweaty, wiping her fair neck with a tissue.
She wore a fitted tracksuit that subtly revealed her curves.
"Do you play badminton?"
Jiang Nian was stunned, what’s this? In this day and age, when you take a task, do you also have to accompany the sponsor for entertainment?
However, she offered too much.
"Hmm...yes."
Just this once, one shouldn’t repeatedly sell out their conscience.
"Then take this." Xu Shuang handed him the runner-up prize, a brand new pair of badminton rackets.
"How...how could this be okay?" Jiang Nian exclaimed.
It was fine; it was okay.
He might not normally accept gifts from others, but understanding the sponsor’s generosity, Jiang Nian felt no need to pretend to be overly humble.
"There’s already one at home, my brother... you know him too." Xu Shuang shook her head, looking a bit disappointed.
What’s wrong with your brother!
Our Xu Yuanshan, doesn’t cause trouble and isn’t afraid of trouble! Do not let slander and insult ruin Young Master Xu’s reputation as a doctor.
In Jiang Nian’s eyes, Xu Yuanshan is practically just like a god of wealth.
Jiang Nian didn’t know what to praise, so he used a universal formula, "Well, your brother is quite tall."
Xu Shuang: "...."
"Alright then, I’m heading back to class." She handed him the rackets, waved goodbye, and left.
....
In the classroom, Wang Yuhe stood in the hallway stunned.
"Where did you get those rackets?"
"What’s it to you?" Jiang Nian sniped back, pretending to enter the classroom, then turned his head and patted her head.
"Ah!!" Wang Yuhe hit him.
Unfortunately, Jiang Nian escaped quickly.
The third period was Qianbao’s class, but it had already been encroached upon by the event for ten minutes, so the classroom was not yet full.
But Qianbao didn’t mind, still chilling in the office.
"Huh?" Li Hua had just returned to his seat, wondering if he was seeing things, "Whoa, where’d you get those rackets?"
"Someone gave them to me," he replied casually.
Zhang Ningzhi hadn’t returned yet, and Jiang Nian was particularly confident. Big deal, just the sponsor’s gift.
"Some girl gave them, I saw it clearly." Ma Guojun added, "It was the one from last time, on stage."
Upon hearing this, Li Qingrong in the back row paused her pen.
She glanced at Jiang Nian, still bantering with some boys, with a thoughtful expression on her face.
Zhizhi returned, unaware of the rackets.
As she took her seat, she glanced at the new rackets hung on Li Hua’s chair, her eyes showing a hint of doubt.
Ultimately, she said nothing.
Zhang Ningzhi sat down with a sweet smile, "Jiang Nian, can you guess where Beibei and I just went?"
