Chapter 750: A Relaxed Atmosphere
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In a relaxed atmosphere, the Gao family’s car had already arrived at the school gate. Su Bing and his two companions disembarked, barely stepping foot into the school grounds when a classmate of Su Bing’s approached them.
Su Bing was not one for making friends. Initially, people were hesitant to approach him due to his unfamiliar face, and he was content with the peace and quiet. He would not initiate conversations, preferring to spend his time solving problems.
However, today, a classmate took the initiative to strike up a conversation. Su Bing saw no reason not to respond. Ignoring them would not be aloof, it would be impolite.
Su Bing was not one to ignore, but his response was cold. He simply said, “Good morning,” without any further elaboration. His classmates were at a loss for words.
Yet, as they stood there dumbfounded, a hint of admiration flashed in their eyes. Su Bing’s cold demeanor and succinct speech were incredibly cool!
One of the boys, usually cheerful and talkative, finally found his voice. He said to Su Bing, “Su Bing, let’s walk together. I heard you skipped a grade to fourth grade. At first, we thought you had connections.”
Su Bing maintained his cool demeanor, parted ways with Su Li and Gao Ming, and walked with the two classmates who had greeted him. After all, without their conversation, it was time to part ways.
After Su Bing left, a hint of disappointment crossed Su Li’s face. Gao Ming, walking beside him, comforted him, “Don’t worry, Su Li. With me here, no one in the class will dare to say anything about you. Don’t be afraid of them!”
Su Li remembered that he and Gao Ming were in the same class. He was not alone!
His mood improved significantly. Hand in hand with Gao Ming, they hopped and skipped to their class. However, upon reaching the classroom door, Su Li became reserved again. He was not yet comfortable being lively in front of his classmates, fearing their disdain.
What Su Li didn’t know was that ever since the news of Teacher Zhou’s suspension broke out, the attitude of his classmates had undergone a significant change. As Su Li and Gao Ming entered, before they even reached their seats, a classmate greeted them, “Good morning, Gao Ming, Su Li. I’m Gu Jun, this is Liu Shi, and this is Zhang Liang.
“I think we should get to know each other. We’re all in the same class. If there are group activities in the future, you can join our team. I’m good at foreign languages, Liu Shi is good at math, and Zhang Liang is good at poetry. We’re known as the Iron Triangle in class. With us on your team, we’re sure to complete the course beautifully.”
Gao Ming generously exchanged high-fives with three individuals, declaring, “No problem at all. I have many talents, but the most impressive among us is surely Su Li. He and his brother are skilled in martial arts.”
Upon learning this previously, Gao Ming’s admiration for his ‘big brother’ Su Bing and ‘second brother’ Su Li had only increased. The crowd, upon hearing this, turned their gaze towards Su Li, their eyes sparkling with newfound interest.
Su Li, initially taken aback by the sudden shift in his classmates’ attitudes, quickly adjusted himself to the relaxed atmosphere. He followed Gao Ming’s lead, exchanging high-fives with three of his classmates, his demeanor effortlessly gracious.
He wasn’t merely following the trend. Since he had moved to the city, he knew he needed to adapt to his new surroundings. He addressed his classmates, “I may need to work harder on my academics, but my martial arts skills are solid. If there are any activities related to this in the future, feel free to team up with me!”
With that, more students came forward to get to know Su Li. They began to admire him, “Su Li is so impressive, he knows martial arts. That’s so cool! My dad is a military man, I’ll ask him to teach me martial arts when I get home. Su Li, can I ask for your guidance then?”
Returning to his seat, Su Li found himself under the gaze of many admiring eyes. His movements became more deliberate, unhurriedly placing his backpack into the desk drawer. He then took out the textbook for the first lesson from his bag, and responded to the earlier question, recalling his father’s words, “Of course, learning martial arts is for the purpose of strengthening the body. As long as it’s not used to bully the weak, anyone can learn.”
“Wow, Su Li, your words are so profound. No wonder Gao Ming considers you his ‘second brother’. We were shallow before, thinking you were unsophisticated because you came from the countryside. We were wrong, we were the ones who lacked insight. Su Li, here, have some of this.
“Just take a few pieces though. I’ve been saving these for a long time and couldn’t bear to eat them. These are snacks my dad brought back from overseas, they’re called potato chips. They’re fragrant, crispy, and flavorful. They’re really delicious.”
