Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 11 Interlude in English Class
The weather in late May seems to be getting more and more muggy. Classrooms in this era do not have air conditioning, only old electric fans hanging from the ceiling keep humming.

Even though Chen Ran was sitting motionless, he could still feel the beads of sweat on his cheeks.

This is an English class. The English teacher is a man named Liang. He is holding a test paper in one hand and is speaking eloquently on the podium in a mixture of Chinese and English.

Chen Ran's deskmate was dragging his chin with one hand, listening to the class very attentively. As for himself, he was also doing similar actions, but he was in a state of wandering mind.

At this time, a piece of chalk suddenly flew and hit Chen Ran, while a male classmate sitting in front of him was lying on the desk silently, looking like he had made a mistake.

Chen Ran also suddenly realized that the target of the English teacher was not himself, but a boy sitting in front of him.

The English teacher named Liang was a man with a very bad temper. When he saw this boy causing trouble, he immediately threw the chalk at him.

"Bei Liuhui, your grades are very good, right?"

"Do you think you will definitely be admitted to Dongzhou Middle School?"

"Even if you have good grades, you can't affect other students."

Bei Liuhui, who was severely scolded by Teacher Liang, still lay on the desk silently, with an expression of indescribable embarrassment on his face.

Chen Ran seemed to notice something. He turned his head to look at his deskmate and found that there was a bit of shame and anger on his pretty face.

He remembered that in the third grade of junior high school, there were always a few boys with good grades who were always making trouble and making noise at school, but at home they were racing against time to study.

After every test result comes out, such boys will decisively pretend to be cool with their excellent results: In fact, I don’t usually read and study much, so there’s nothing I can do about it because of my high IQ.

In fact, such a guy is really annoying.

I remember that on the eve of the high school entrance examination in the previous life, Chen Ran almost made a move with this guy, but was held tightly by other classmates.

As for how this guy came to harass his female deskmate, he probably took away her pencil case, pen or Baixue correction fluid by surprise.

"This guy probably doesn't like Zhou Jing, so he deliberately wants to attract her attention in this way." Such an idea suddenly popped up in Chen Ran's mind.

Many boys in junior high school like to use this trick to attract the attention of girls they like.

Sure enough, under the glare of the English teacher, the boy named Bei Liuhui timidly returned the pencil case to Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing didn't even raise her head, she grabbed the pencil case and put it decisively into the desk. She didn't say a word the whole time, and she was obviously still sulking.

A 16-year-old girl in her prime looks cute even when she is angry.

In fact, there is absolutely no need to get angry over such trivial matters. Just raise your hands decisively, then make a fuss about it and report it to the teacher, and wait for the good show.

I was hit with chalk for no apparent reason, but do you think I'm angry?

For the first time since his rebirth, Chen Ran took a serious look at the boy sitting in front of him. He had a three-quarter hairstyle and sprayed a lot of mousse to fix it. He had several conspicuous pimples on his face and a pair of eyes. It's quite bright.

"Why did you almost fight this guy in your previous life?" Chen Ran couldn't remember.

However, the other person's small body of less than 1 meters is almost the same height as his female deskmate. If he hadn't been grabbed by his classmates, he would have been knocked down in a few seconds.In fact, given Chen Ran's height, he was able to sit near the front because of the preferential treatment given to him by his head teacher. He felt that he still had potential to be tapped, and if he studied hard, he would have a chance to be admitted to a key high school.

The English teacher was about to continue the class, but at the same time he glanced at Chen Ran with some confusion.

In his impression, with this kid's fiery temper, he would probably have a dark face if he was hit with chalk for no reason. However, Chen Ran had a calm expression, and he had a calmness that was unprecedented for a boy of his age. .

"I remember that their head teacher, Teacher Yu, mentioned that this guy voluntarily quit the basketball team in order to prepare for the high school entrance examination, which made her very happy."

The English teacher felt moved and thought he should praise Chen Ran: "You guys, you should all learn from Chen Ran. The high school entrance examination is about to take place. Don't think about playing football or basketball. There are some people who don't come back after school." Go home and run to the billiard hall, don’t think I don’t know!”

In the huge classroom, more than 50 students fell silent.

"Chen Ran, the teacher is asking you..." the English teacher called Chen Ran, "Last time I asked you what your dream is, and you said you wanted to be a basketball player. What is your dream now? Is it different? "

As expected of an English teacher, you must include a few English words when speaking.

"My short-term dream... go to a good high school first!" Chen Ran thought about it and said seriously, "As for the long-term goal, I don't want to get up early and come home late to go to work, and I don't want to look at the faces of my bosses and leaders every day. , I swallowed my anger, I want to be free, I want to be unrestrained, but there is always something to pursue in life, so I want to be a tennis player!"

The English teacher listened to Chen Ran's talk. When he only heard the previous paragraph, he frowned. You said it as if you had been in class, although it seemed to make some sense.

After all, as an English teacher himself, he is under a lot of pressure. Not only does he have to prepare lessons every day, but the school will always impose performance requirements on you.

But when the English teacher heard what Chen then said, his face darkened, "tennis player, what the hell?"

Chen Ran's answer caught him off guard.

"That's nonsense, sit down!" the English teacher pointed angrily.

I have lived for such a long time and am also a sports enthusiast. I have never even touched a tennis racket.He was very sure that Chen Ran was just looking for his own happiness and was talking nonsense.

At this time, the whole class was also puzzled by Chen Ran's "tennis player".The English vocabulary in junior high school is not very rich. Everyone only knows the English pronunciation of football, basketball, and table tennis, but not tennis.

After Chen Ran was scolded by the English teacher, he sat down obediently. The English teacher did not explain to the whole class what "tennis player" meant and continued to explain the test paper on his own.

My deskmate Zhou Jing quietly leaned her head over and asked in a very soft voice: "What do you mean by what you just said in English?"

As a young girl, her mood changes always come and go like the wind. Just now she was angry with her classmates who took away her pencil case, but now she is acting as if nothing has happened, her eyes flashing with curiosity.

Chen Ran suddenly had the idea of ​​teasing her, and smiled mysteriously: "I'll give it a try first, you will know in a few days, and you will be surprised by that time."

"It surprises me, I don't believe it!" Zhou Jing said this, but thinking of Chen Ran's abnormal behavior during this period, she suddenly became very interested.

Humph, then I'll wait and see if you can surprise me with anything.
