Rebirth Plan to Save Leader

Chapter 76 Part 2

N City was far from J City, and even further from the sea. It was inland in Province L. It took over six hours by bus to cross half of the province from N city.

Zhang Man didn’t sleep well last night, and she yawned several times as soon as she got on the bus. She turned to the side to look at the youth and blinked.

She seemed to have gotten used to leaning against his shoulder when they took the bus.

They used to go out together on Saturdays. Whether they were taking a taxi or taking a bus, she always leaned on his shoulder. Even if she didn’t sleep, she still hugged his arm tightly, rubbing her head on his shoulder.

Sometimes the intimacy was not intentional, but out of habit.

Zhang Man stared at that shoulder for a long time. There were so many students on the bus, and there were two teachers, so she had to resist leaning on him.

She was still too easily embarrassed.

She still remembered that day after the final exam when they were hugging on the stairs. It almost caused the entire staircase to be congested. After being watched by so many people, she went back and did a whole night of mind training to feel less ashamed.

The bus quickly drove on the highway, and the students gradually quieted down from being chatty. Most of them fell asleep.

Zhang Man was so sleepy that she leaned her head on the window glass. She kept bumping into it, which was really uncomfortable.

While feeling drowsy, she heard the youth beside her sigh with a smile.

Immediately afterwards, his arm gently went around the back of her head, and his gentle force brought her towards him.

Her head touched his broad and warm shoulder, and she rubbed against the side of his neck comfortably.

The youth looked at her forehead that had just been hit red by the glass. His right thumb lightly slid across the skin, and the warm feeling he felt though his fingertips made him unable to resist pressing harder.

“Ah, it hurts.”

Zhang Man became more sleepy and acted like a baby without realizing it.

He approached her ear, and kissed her cheek while no one was paying attention. “That’s right, it does hurt.”

…

At around four o’clock in the afternoon, the bus finally arrived in J City. The long journey made everyone feel a little bit sore.

The next day’s competition was held at a school in J City. For convenience, the school reserved a hotel nearby for the students. The accommodations were not bad, and there were buffets in the morning and evening.

Participants from all over the province were taking the exam, so of course they were not the only ones staying in this hotel. In the evening, when they went downstairs to have dinner, they met participants from other schools.

The dining table in the hotel was a large round table, with a dozen people at a table. Zhang Man, Li Wei, the Three Foolish Men, and Xu Haosi sat at a table and the people there were participants from other schools.

They were all teenagers, and because of physics, they had something in common. They chatted while eating and quickly got to know each other.

They were students from Z City’s Experimental School. Z City’s Experimental School was the best high school in Province L. It ranked among the best in both college entrance exam results and competitions. Their school took three or four of the ten spots in the provincial team every year.

The short-haired girl sitting across from Zhang Man said while eating a dim sum, “The exam is finally tomorrow. The training camp was so painful. Our school team always participates in competition training at Peking University during summer vacation. Which leads to many gods in the training camp. I feel so inferior every day haha. But the training is really high level. Professor Jiang Qi personally gave us lessons, and each one was so interesting, but super high level.”

After Xu Haosi listened, he took a bite of rice and rubbed his nose. Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of Z City’s Experimental School to go to Peking University for a physics training camp. Their resources are great, unlike key high schools in small third-tier cities. It would be nice to have a physics coach, but who knows, they might get pissed off at us later.

If I say too much, it might make them cry.

After the girl finished speaking, she asked Chen Jun, who was next to her, “By the way, which school did you train at during summer vacation? Who is the coach?”

Dinner became more of a serious discussion. No one expected to be speechless by the student’s answer.

Chen Jun swallowed a mouthful of shrimp and pointed to the other side. “We’ve been training at our own school, and the coach is… him.”

Everyone at the table looked in the direction of his finger.

The handsome young man with a delicate face was wearing a gray solid-color pullover sweater with wide sleeves. He carefully peeled a shrimp with his slender fingers, after peeling it completely, he put it in the bowl of the girl next to him.

“…”

The girl who asked the question just swallowed her saliva.

She had already realized that this boy was super handsome, but she didn’t expect him to be their school’s physics coach? And he looked too young, right?

“Isn’t your coach too young? Did he just graduate from college?”

Chen Jun took another bite of the shrimp. He was not particular about the shell, so he chewed and swallowed the shrimp whole.

“No—”

The girl breathed a sigh of relief. It was as she had thought, how could he be so young? He was probably a graduate student from Q University and B University that won a gold medal in the physics competition.

Without swallowing, Chen Jun continued to say, “—he is our classmate and a participant for this competition. He usually serves as the coach of our class.”

“…”

The spoon that the girl was using for dessert fell to the table with a “clang”.

“You mean he’s like us? A third year?”

Chen Jun spat out the hard shrimp tail. “No, we are only in our second year.”

The girl’s strange gaze lasted for a long time, and she finally opened her mouth without asking any further questions.

She wanted to ask which school they were from, but after thinking about it, she was too embarrassed to ask. She didn’t need to ask to know that it must be from one of the impoverished counties in their province.

My mother once said that it is not easy for children in impoverished areas. They can’t even afford a serious physics teacher, so they had a second year high school student to be their teacher? Gosh, it’s too pitiful. Even if you can’t afford a professor from a famous school or a gold medal coach in a competition, you should at least hire a better high school teacher. What can a second year student know… I didn’t even start studying in my second year…

The girl looked at Chen Jun again, with a little pity and sympathy in her eyes. Two seconds later, she patted Chen Jun’s arm and gave him the last shrimp in her bowl.
