Chapter 163: Chapter 0163: The Arrogant Sports Meeting

"That’s right, try your best to bring honor to our class by getting a good placement."

After the class teacher finished speaking, the bell signaling the end of the class rang, and the students of Class 5 began to leave the classroom, each engaging in their own activities—using the restroom or chatting away.

Next to the boys’ restroom at the school, it didn’t take long for a group of people to gather, with Chen Cang among them, and by his side were his confidants, Monkey and Xiao Jun.

Once the three of them arrived, the people around them started to look out for teachers who might come to the restroom for a surprise check!

Monkey pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it up for Chen Cang without hesitation.

After taking a few deep drags and enjoying the taste of tobacco, Chen Cang, with smoke encircling his eyes, asked, "Monkey, did you talk to that kid?"

"Brother Cang, I’d been at the school gate since early morning, and as soon as I saw that kid, I told him what’s what. Don’t worry, he’ll definitely come."

Monkey responded while puffing on his cigarette.

A few minutes later, a student from Class 5 approached Chen Cang’s group in a sneaky manner. Just as he was about to walk past, he was stopped by two of the underlings. One of them, whose hair had a slight reddish tinge, sneered disdainfully, "What are you doing here? Don’t you know Brother Cang is busy inside? Wanna get beaten up while trying to get in?"

"No, Brother Cang is the one who called me here."

The student from Class 5 said fearfully.

Hearing this, Monkey quickly stepped forward, recognized that it was indeed the kid he had called for, and immediately brought him inside to Chen Cang, saying, "Brother Cang, he’s here."

Chen Cang was not in the mood for smoking anymore and flicked away the half-smoked cigarette before turning to the skinny student from Class 5 and asked, "What about the information I asked you to gather? Any news?"

"Brother Cang, Tang Ming and the other two came to school today..."

The skinny student slowly narrated, describing in detail every move Tang Ming, Liu Mengting, and Li Xiaoli made since arriving at school to Chen Cang.

"Nothing unusual, it seems they won’t go on to report to the police."

Chen Cang felt a surge of smug satisfaction within. He had speculated that a girl like Li Xiaoli, who cared a lot about her image, would never disclose the fact that she had been kidnapped, and it seemed he was right.

"Fine, you can go back."

Chen Cang said offhandedly.

Leading the student aside, Monkey said, "You don’t have to pay this month’s fee, but next month you still have to pay, okay?"

"Ah?"

The skinny student appeared reluctant.

"What’s the matter? Looking for a beating? Consider it a favor that you don’t have to pay for one month."

Monkey threatened loudly.

The skinny student hurriedly said he dared not and then ran off.

At this moment, Chen Cang was pondering the words of the student he had just spoken with and mumbled to himself, "Meng Ting likes athletic guys, so I need to think of a way to make her change her impression of me."

"Brother Cang, so it all looks good now, right? They won’t call the police, will they?"

Monkey looked somewhat worried as he asked,

"Don’t worry, there definitely won’t be a problem."

Chen Cang patted Monkey on the shoulder and said, "Go back to the classroom later and sign me up, I want to take part in the sports meet too."

"Ah? Brother Cang, didn’t you say you weren’t interested before?"

Monkey exclaimed in surprise.

During class previously, their class teacher had also encouraged everyone to participate in the sports meet, but Chen Cang was worried about Liu Mengting’s affair, so he had absolutely no interest in taking part. However, now that the matter was resolved, and since Liu Mengting liked sporty guys, he definitely had to join in.

Chen Cang had his own plan. Even though Tang Ming was good at fighting, it didn’t necessarily mean he was good at sports. Chen Cang had loved sports since he was young, especially running, and as his family was well-off, he had even received training from professional fitness experts, making him much stronger than many amateur students.

His previous kidnapping had left a very bad impression on Liu Mengting, and he needed to find a way to change that or else he wouldn’t stand a chance!

"Now I’m interested again. Remember to sign me up, I’m heading to the toilet,"

Having said that, Chen Cang walked straight into a stall and began to relieve himself.

Two days later, Tianjiao High School suspended classes for three days for the sports meet!

All the students were infected with the atmosphere of the meet. Those participating in events were eager to compete, while those who weren’t also had tasks to fulfill; girls were responsible for cheering on the athletes from their class, and boys were in charge of buying water and handling miscellaneous tasks. In short, although there were no lessons, everyone had to participate.

Tianjiao High School was an elite institution to begin with, and for this sports meet, both male and female students participating in various events began to show off. The boys wore international sports brands and even donned some special gear, while the girls either flaunted their figures or sportswear, turning the event into something like a sports fashion show with all kinds of top-tier sports brands on display.

Since Chen Cang was taking part in an event, he of course had to make an impression. Wearing a competition-specific Adidas tracksuit worth nearly a hundred thousand, specially designed to be a boon for athletes, along with his sports shoes that were not only light but could also help improve his jumping ability.

It was this special gear that gave Chen Cang the confidence to aim for a good ranking in the events of this sports meet.

"Brother Cang, the 100-meter sprint is about to start."

Monkey ran to the canteen panting and told Chen Cang,

Having just drunk a sports beverage, Chen Cang was brimming with energy. He got up excitedly hearing Monkey’s words, "Let’s go, this time I aim to take first place."

High school sports meets also had preliminaries and finals, and Chen Cang was lucky. In the 100-meter preliminaries, he took first place in his group and ranked within the top five in the school.

The last contestant to qualify for the 100-meter final was Tang Ming, who seemed to have stumbled his way into the finals.

When Monkey relayed this news to Chen Cang, he was thrilled and slapped his thigh, "I told you so. That dude is a Martial Artist, good at fighting but definitely not cut out for sprinting."

During lunchtime, Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli came specially to cheer on Tang Ming, who was still scarfing down food in the cafeteria, with Fatty unable to persuade him to stop.

Seeing Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli entering the cafeteria, Fatty quickly said, "Ladies, please convince Brother Ming. If he eats this much, does he even need to run the 500 meters later?"

Liu Mengting approached Tang Ming, who was still eating, and said, "Tang Ming, you still have a race this afternoon. Can’t you eat a little less?"

But Tang Ming said nonchalantly, "Don’t worry, I’ve got the 500-meter race in the bag, no matter how much I eat."

Fatty, wearing his sports clothes, looked quite comical, but he didn’t care about the stares from others. For the sake of fulfilling his dream of competing in the race, he had even joined the 100-meter preliminaries that morning. Though he didn’t make it to the finals, he was happy just to finish the race.
