Chapter 35 Breakfast
1210 Words
Honestly, reviving Mi Zhen with 1 million coins is impossible. If you're going to revive someone, at least revive a useful general, okay?
Reviving that pretty face isn't out of the question; I could consider it when I have more money than I can spend.
After figuring it out, Kang Lin looked up and glanced around. Hmm!
The number of students around her gradually increased.
It seems the boarding students in the first and second years of junior high have all gotten up, and the day students are coming to school.
Just then, a clear voice rang out.
"Kang Lin."
Uh… Kang Lin knew who it was without even turning around.
Kang Lin turned her head helplessly and said, "Ah!
Why are you following me like a tinderbox?
Why are you everywhere?!
Uh… No!
I'm here to school!
Isn't this the way to the classroom?" Zhang said.
Uh… That makes sense.
"Kang Lin, where did you go yesterday?"
"After school, I waited for you for ages in front of your old bicycle tire, but you didn't come," Zhang said, almost bursting into tears.
"Um... Kang Lin, how did you get home yesterday?"
"And how did you get to school today?" Zhang continued.
"Um... I had to get out of there!"
"Well, I had something to do," Kang Lin said, and then she dashed off.
"Kang Lin, morning reading is about to start. The homeroom teacher will be checking today. Ugh... Don't go!"
"Here's your key."
Zhang called out anxiously.
By this time, Kang Lin had already run far away, leaving Zhang stamping her feet.
"Yes!"
Kang Lin skipped class, and Zhang couldn't do that!
There was no other way, so Zhang obediently went back to the classroom.
Back in the classroom, Zhang secretly put the key in Kang Lin's drawer, and also put a handful of candy inside. At this moment, Ou Hai, who sat next to Kang Lin, also witnessed this scene.
"Um, Ou Hai, I'll give you a piece of candy, but you're not allowed to tell Kang Lin that I put it there," Zhang said to Ou Hai.
Ou Hai's face turned red, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
"Sigh... fine, here you go," Zhang tossed a piece of candy to Ou Hai and returned to his seat.
Only after Zhang returned to his seat did Ou Hai dare to pick up the piece of candy from his desk.
Then he peeled it open and put it inside.
Kang Lin ran off to the exercise area. Such a nice morning; she should be out exercising. Staying cooped up in the classroom studying was a waste of life!
This was Kang Lin's motto.
She figured no one else would come besides herself!
Kang Lin randomly picked a horizontal bar and started doing pull-ups.
Just as she got onto the bar, a figure walked over and also got on Kang Lin's bar.
Kang Lin stared intently. "Holy crap, isn't that Chen Shuai?"
"That guy who defeated Wang Liuhui in King of Fighters '97!"
"What are you doing here instead of studying?" Kang Lin asked.
"You didn't study either, did you?"
"Chen Shuai retorted."
Then she saw Chen Shuai doing somersaults, 1, 2, 3, counting as he did so, his small eyes glancing at her every now and then.
"Holy crap, this is blatant provocation!"
"Let's have a contest then!"
Kang Lin also started doing somersaults.
"11... 22... 37... " Kang Lin was still completely exhausted, doing it with ease.
Clearly, Chen Shuai was finished. He was covered in sweat, gritting his teeth, and shouting hoarsely, "Thirty...eight...times...ah... Holy crap, is his inner power going off?"
Chen Shuai actually managed to do thirty-eight pull-ups! Kang Lin had already thought he was done for on the thirty-seventh, but she hadn't expected him to still have a moment of brilliance.
But that was it. After thirty-eight, Chen Shuai collapsed, headfirst onto the sand.
Kang Lin did a few more pull-ups, showing she was completely exhausted.
Then, with a burst of energy, she sat up on the horizontal bar and said to Chen Shuai lying on the sand, "Not bad, kid!"
"You can actually do that many?" Kang Lin said.
"But I can't do as many as you."
"Chen Shuai said weakly."
"Damn it, who gave you the courage?!"
"Don't you know I'm a martial artist?!"
"Compared to me, I could do pull-ups for three days and three nights without a problem. Your strength is among the best in our class," Kang Lin said.
"Does your master still take on disciples?"
"Chen Shuai suddenly asked after a long pause."
"Um... I had no choice but to lie to him, hmm!"
"Master isn't taking any more disciples. I'm the last one to close the door," Kang Lin said, spouting nonsense with a straight face.
"Is that so?"
Chen Shuai nodded listlessly.
"Aren't you going back to your morning reading class?"
Kang Lin asked.
"No point, my mind's elsewhere," Chen Shuai said indifferently.
"Oh!"
"Really?"
"Look, isn't that your Class 9 homeroom teacher?"
"Looks like she's here to see you!"
Kang Lin said with a half-smile.
"What?"
Chen Shuai jumped up, leaping from the sand like a carp.
Sure enough, he saw their Class 9 homeroom teacher.
"Holy crap, how did I find this place?" Chen Shuai jumped and ran straight to the classroom.
" Just then, their homeroom teacher chased after them, shouting, "Chen Shuai, you're skipping class to play on the horizontal bar!"
"You just wait, I'll teach you a lesson!"
Kang Lin was left alone, sitting bored on the horizontal bar, lost in thought.
Staring at the sky, Kang Lin gradually became engrossed.
"Didn't eat breakfast again?"
Suddenly, a silvery voice rang out, startling Kang Lin so much that she fell off the horizontal bar.
Uh… Kang Lin had been staring at the sky, completely absorbed, and this startled her quite a bit.
But when Kang Lin looked up, she saw it was Wang Hong, her waist-length hair fluttering gently in the winter breeze, her delicate face still carrying a touch of childishness.
"Soy milk, fried dough sticks, and steamed buns, want some?"
Wang Hong asked.
"Of course!"
Kang Lin jumped up from the ground, grabbed Wang Hong, and leaped onto the highest horizontal bar.
"Ah... what are you doing?"
Wang Hong was startled and screamed.
"You haven't had breakfast either, have you?"
Kang Lin asked.
"I ate!"
"I ate at the school cafeteria," Wang Hong said.
"Then where did you get your fried dough sticks, soy milk, and steamed buns?"
"You're a boarding student and can't go out, right?"
Kang Lin asked suspiciously.
"My brother is a day student like you. I told him I wanted fried dough sticks, steamed buns, and soy milk, and he bought them for me!"
Wang Hong said playfully.
"Your brother?"
"Um... you have a brother?"
"Is he in his third year of junior high?"
Kang Lin asked.
"This... this... this... what's wrong?"
Kang Lin asked again.
"Don't laugh when I tell you," Wang Hong said, pointing a finger at Kang Lin.
"Mmm!"
"I won't laugh, I won't laugh."
Kang Lin said.
"My brother is in the first year of junior high," Wang Hong said shyly.
"Junior...first...year...?"
Kang Lin stammered.
