Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 96 - 95, His pigs were rooting up the Immortal Grass!
Chapter 96: 95, His pigs were rooting up the Immortal Grass!
Pu Sangzhi’s trial throw results were in, 6.8 meters.
This score would have been decent on its own, but among these shot put competitors, it was only mid-range.
Based on the trial throw, Pu Sangzhi’s turn was set as the 20th.
The shot put event progressed quickly, so they immediately entered the competition after the trial throws.
As Pu Sangzhi stood in line waiting her turn on the field, she suddenly spotted Huo Feng, Zhu Dandan, and Huo Mingshan standing together outside the field...
This odd trio surprised her; despite the considerable distance, she could feel that the atmosphere over there must be very awkward.
Indeed, the three of them together created two awkward situations.
Huo Feng and Huo Mingshan were father and son.
Huo Feng and Zhu Dandan were classmates.
Zhu Dandan and Huo Mingshan were teacher and student.
The key point was that Zhu Dandan didn’t know Huo Feng and Huo Mingshan were father and son, and neither Huo Mingshan nor Huo Feng wanted Zhu Dandan to know about their relationship.
Thinking about these messy conditions together made things awkward.
Huo Feng and Huo Mingshan didn’t know what identities to use while interacting with Zhu Dandan.
And Zhu Dandan didn’t know what kind of chemical reaction would occur from the best teacher in the segment standing next to the worst student.
Zhu Dandan even worried that their class teacher might suddenly punish Huo Feng...
Thankfully, that didn’t happen!
Since there were 20 people in front of Pu Sangzhi, each with three throwing opportunities, and considering that after each throw, the referees had to run a long distance to measure the distance, the waiting time was expected to be long.
If the three of them didn’t speak and just stayed silent for such a long time, it wouldn’t seem right!
So, if one of them could leave... it didn’t matter who, the remaining two would get along better.
Huo Mingshan thought for a moment and then took the initiative to say, "You two, go cheer on the other competitors."
"No, why should I?"
The person who responded to Huo Mingshan was Huo Feng.
Clearly, Huo Feng did not want to leave. He preferred Huo Mingshan to leave!
Old Huo wasn’t even supposed to be here...
So, you see...
Before Zhu Dandan had even figured out how to start speaking, Huo Feng had already instinctively responded and countered Huo Mingshan! And he did so in quite a cocky tone...
How could Huo Mingshan not find his good-for-nothing son annoying!
He furrowed his thick, bushy eyebrows and stared at Huo Feng and Zhu Dandan, "Then I will step away for a bit and come back later."
"Okay, Teacher Huo," Zhu Dandan obediently nodded.
"Don’t bother coming back, we don’t need you," however, Huo Feng retorted.
That damn kid!
Huo Mingshan didn’t bother to argue with him, turned, and walked away, planning to come back later anyway.
After all, Pu Sangzhi was Huo Mingshan’s most proud student, and he definitely wanted to watch her compete and cheer her on!
Thus, Huo Mingshan walked away first.
After he moved off, Huo Feng glared at Zhu Dandan, "Dandan, I just praised you a moment ago, and now your brain is malfunctioning. What were you shouting for!"
Zhu Dandan also realized her mistake, scratched her head softly and said, "I just saw Sangzhi going on stage and wanted to cheer for her, that’s all. Also, I didn’t know you were that scared of our class teacher. I thought you were just generally scared..." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
"Who’s scared of him? I’m not scared at all, just worried he might figure out that I’m chasing Sangzhi."
Huo Feng explained irritably, "This man is vicious, haven’t you heard? I don’t want to be kicked out before I even make my move."
It was then that Zhu Dandan understood Huo Feng’s point, and she apologized with a nod, "Sorry, Huo."
"You’re just not the sharpest tool in the shed, you dummy," Huo Feng tapped on Zhu Dandan’s head.
But Zhu Dandan would never admit that she wasn’t smart.
She was from Class 1, after all, a class known for its bright students!
"Sangzhi! Your hubby’s here, don’t be scared! Win me a gold medal!" Huo Feng started shouting again.
His shouts were exceedingly blatant, causing nearby teachers to repeatedly turn their heads in his direction, even warning him, "Student, you can’t just yell around here."
This admonition didn’t scare Huo Feng.
At most, he would just tone it down a notch and then shout again, "Sangzhi! Win and I’ll take you out for a meal!"
"Bro Feng, please stop yelling like this."
Zhu Dandan quickly tried to intervene, "If you keep this up, you’re going to be warned. What if our homeroom teacher hears it?"
Only then did Huo Feng reluctantly stop, hands on his hips and smile on his face.
He just enjoyed shouting to his heart’s content because he knew Pu Sangzhi wouldn’t respond to him, nor would she retort; she would feel embarrassed!
This way, as throwing events came and went, after half an hour, it was finally Pu Sangzhi’s turn.
This was an official throw, and she only had three chances. Pu Sangzhi needed to rank in the top eight. Only within the top eight could she vie for the top three.
Thus, Pu Sangzhi took these three throws absolutely seriously.
She rubbed some chalk on her hands, picked up the shot put, and stepped into the circle...
Before her throw, she took two deep breaths then inhaled sharply, using the force of her shoulder and all her muscle power to hurl the shot put!
This throw went much farther than her trial throws, with the official rushing to measure, the result came back as 7.5 meters.
At 7.5 meters, this was a high score, ranking Pu Sangzhi among the top twenty.
After the throw, she exhaled deeply, feeling secretly delighted.
"Beautiful!"
"Awesome! Keep it up, Sangzhi!"
From the sidelines, Huo Feng and Zhu Dandan shouted their encouragement loudly.
This scene did not escape the watchful eyes of Huo Mingshan, standing not far away.
Huo Mingshan had been walking around nearby, cheering on his students, and finally came back to watch Pu Sangzhi compete.
Of course, he didn’t stand close to Zhu Dandan and Huo Feng but chose a quiet spot some distance behind them.
Huo Mingshan stood with his arms crossed, his brows furrowed tightly, his shiny complexion and facial features all shrunken into displeasure.
He knew it all along; his good-for-nothing son had his sights on Sangzhi!
Huo Feng had mentioned chasing after Pu Sangzhi earlier; Huo Mingshan had beaten him twice in the hope that the boy would get the message and give up.
Yet, here he was, covertly making his moves, far from giving up, he even managed to get chummy with their classmates.
Seeing Zhu Dandan and Huo Feng together so familiarly made Huo Mingshan feel uneasy.
Right now, Huo Mingshan wasn’t concerned about Pu Sangzhi’s results in the competition.
Huo Mingshan was deeply worried... whether his pigs had trampled his precious Immortal Grass or not.
If they had, Huo Mingshan was ready to slaughter that pig.
Meanwhile, Pu Sangzhi had completed her three throws with a result of 7.5 meters, earning her a spot in the top eight and a chance in the finals.
There would be a ten-minute break now to allow the judges to clean up the field and tally the scores.
During the ten-minute break, Pu Sangzhi didn’t sit idle; she sneaked over to peek at the scores registration table.
Seeing her ranked fifth, she felt very anxious.
Without a top-three finish, there would be no medals; fifth place meant nothing.
Pu Sangzhi took a deep breath and told herself she must try harder in the next round to break into the top three!
