Superpowers of Middle School Students

Chapter 58 After School

Um… okay!

Looks like I really did forget, but I don't think I promised to celebrate your birthday!

Thinking of this, Kang Lin whispered, "But I don't think I promised to celebrate your birthday!"

Hearing Kang Lin say this, Zhang had no choice but to continue writing, "They've invited you like this, aren't you really going to come?

Won't you feel guilty doing that?"

Fine, Kang Lin was too lazy to say anything more and simply closed her eyes to rest and wait for class to end.

Yes!

Kang Lin was utterly baffled by her homeroom teacher's eloquence.

This isn't a class, it's just a class meeting, yet the homeroom teacher always has so much to say. Such eloquence is a waste of his talent to be just a homeroom teacher!

Besides, his martial arts skills are so good too.

Finally, the clock struck 3:30, and the school bell rang as scheduled. Upon hearing the homeroom teacher's words, "School's out!", the boarding students, like prisoners finally getting their free time, rushed out in a swarm.

Kang Lin didn't. Seeing Zhang still staring at her, Kang Lin dashed to Wang Hong's seat. Her deskmate had already dashed out of the classroom.

Wang Hong, however, was still leisurely packing her books.

"Wang Hong, do you want me to walk you home?" Kang Lin asked, approaching Wang Hong.

"No need!"

"I'll go home with my brother," Wang Hong said.

"Okay then!"

Kang Lin said regretfully.

At this moment, Zhang chimed in, "Why don't you walk me home? I'm tired from running around."

Zhang said casually.

"Why don't you walk me home?" Wang Hong said with a smile.

"Alright, I have something to do, gotta go, gotta go, gotta go."

With that, Kang Lin dashed out of the classroom.

Just then, Zhang stamped his little feet, fuming, "Why didn't you say you had something to do when you took Wang Hong home, but you have something to do when you take me home?"

Unfortunately, Kang Lin had already dashed out of the classroom and disappeared.

Kang Lin arrived at the school gate, where, sure enough, his good buddy Chao Zhi was already waiting.

"Why were you so slow today?" Chao Zhi asked.

"Um, um!"

"A little thing delayed me," Kang Lin said.

"You're awesome, kid!"

"You're even a martial artist? Damn it, how come I had no idea we'd known since we were kids?"

"You've been hiding it well!"

Chao Zhi said.

What could he say? Could he say he'd obtained an awesome system?

Of course not, even if he was his childhood friend, that wouldn't work! Kang Lin could only awkwardly say, "My master always taught me to be low-key, low-key."

Kang Lin started rambling again.

Oh!

Is that so!

Then why aren't you low-key now? Chao Zhi asked curiously.

Uh… well… yes!

Why aren't I low-key now?

Suddenly, Kang Lin had a sudden inspiration and said, "Because I've graduated now!"

Don't you know the younger generation surpasses the older?

Kang Lin was spouting nonsense with a straight face.

Tch… Chao Zhi said disdainfully, "Others might believe your fictitious master, but you can't fool me. I know what you're going to do the moment you fart. Alright, stop talking nonsense. I know you must have had some kind of extraordinary encounter."

"Since you don't want to talk about it, fine," Chao Zhi said.

Hehe, Kang Lin chuckled sheepishly. It really wasn't easy to fool her childhood friend!

Kang Lin slung her beat-up bicycle over her shoulder, and the two rode towards the elementary school. Chao Zhi knew Kang Lin was picking up his sister, and he was going to pick up his own.

However, Chao Zhi's sister was a bit...well...unlike him.

She looked nothing like Chao Zhi!

Chao Zhi was very slender, but his sister, Chao Qing, was a total chubby girl!

The brother and sister were completely mismatched!

The elementary school wasn't far from the middle school, so the two quickly arrived at the school gate.

Watching the elementary school students, carrying their class flags and walking out of the school in neat rows, Kang Lin sighed, "Elementary school students are so innocent!"

"Tch, don't even mention it, it's all tears," Chao Zhi said.

"Yes!"

In elementary school, Chao Zhi was always the shortest in his class, and in the whole village, without a doubt. He only started to grow a little taller in middle school.

So, in elementary school, Chao Zhi was always at the very front of the line. What could he do? He was short!

Being at the front wasn't all that great, but the worst part was that he had to carry the class flag!

Yes, if you're at the front, who else would carry the flag?

So Chao Zhi carried the class flag for five years, a truly tearful experience!

Why five years?

Because back then, elementary school only had five grades. After five, you went straight to middle school.

Now things are different. Now it's nine years of compulsory education. Kang Lin's younger sister, Kang Nan, often complains that she has to study a year longer than her brother in elementary school. That's just fate!

Just then, a melodious voice rang out, "Brother!"

Kang Lin and Chao Zhi turned around simultaneously and found that Chao Qing had appeared sometime earlier.

The "Brother" they had just heard was from Chao Qing, and the person she called was, of course, Chao Zhi.

"Mmm!"

"You came over?"

"We're getting ready to go home," Chao Zhi said.

"No, no!" Chao Qing stomped her little feet, refusing to come over.

At this moment, Chao Zhi's lips twitched, because Chao Qing was standing right next to a grilled sausage stall.

Chao Zhi, of course, understood that his sister wanted to eat grilled sausage.

"Sigh, she's already so fat and still wants to eat! Doesn't she know how to lose some weight?"

Chao Zhi immediately hardened his face. "No money! Grilled sausages are so expensive! Every time I pick you up, you want to eat them! Where am I going to get that much money?"

"Sigh..." Kang Lin sighed and said, "She's just a child. If she wants to eat it, just buy it for her." "It's not that I don't want to buy it!"

"I really don't have any money this time."

Chao Zhi said helplessly.

"You should have said so earlier!"

Kang Lin rode his beat-up bicycle a short distance, then tossed a coin to the vendor and ordered a grilled sausage.

Chao Qing immediately beamed and said, "Thank you, Brother Kang."

Yes!

Every time after school, whatever Chao Qing wanted to eat, it was either her own brother or Brother Kang who bought it for her. In Chao Qing's heart, Kang Lin was already like her own brother.

Just then, Kang Lin suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, and a coldness rushed to her heart. What... what was going on? Kang Lin felt a little confused, as if someone was watching her, which made her inexplicably uncomfortable.

Suddenly, Kang Lin seemed to remember something and abruptly turned her head.
