Chapter 379: Chapter 275: Your Knight_2
Amid the chaos of battle, only Chen Qian sat alone beneath the hall, concentrated on reading.
"A mouse?"
Chen Qian scoffed with derision. Let alone a mouse, even if it were a tiger, it wouldn’t dream of hindering his problem-solving.
This mouse seemed unable to find its way out and kept scurrying around the classroom.
Wang Longlong: "Damn."
"Brother Ma, how did a mouse get in?"
Ma Shicheng said, "The school’s garbage dump is outdoors; isn’t it normal to have mice?"
Guo Kunnan anxiously said, "Never mind where it came from, what do we do now? This thing is freaking creepy."
He was a country person, and had used mouse traps to catch mice before, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t annoyed by them.
Now with the mouse darting around the classroom with no tools in hand, it was indeed hard to catch.
Ma Shicheng was not the least bit flustered. He shouted:
"Hu Jun, don’t you like these weird creatures?"
Wang Longlong said, "Yeah, Brother Jun even bragged about keeping a mouse, you must be good at this, right? Go for it, yeah?"
Hu Jun, like the ultimate big boss, started to smile and slowly stood up, saying faintly:
"Leave it to me, I’ll post it to the class group."
The class monitor was in a meeting and surely wouldn’t be checking the group, so he could show off his trophy to his heart’s content.
Hu Jun rubbed his hands together and set off.
He was about to show everyone what it meant to be a mouse-catching hero.
The scurrying mouse had dashed to the southwest corner of the classroom, right by Jiang Ning’s seat.
Chen Siqing was terrified, and even the usually composed Bai Yuxia’s face turned slightly pale.
Reflexively, she tried to get away.
Amidst her fright, Bai Yuxia noticed Xue Yuantong was actually still asleep and was filled with amazement.
"How can she still sleep at a time like this?"
Jiang Ning showed no emotion. He set up an array around Xue Yuantong, which not only calmed and soundproofed but also provided protection.
As long as she wanted to sleep, she could continue to do so.
In the back row, Hu Jun walked with a steely determination and made his way forward slowly.
He came, he conquered!
But sometimes, things defy logic.
After the initial panic, Dan Kaiquan quickly calmed down. His heart was thumping wildly inside his chest.
Was he afraid?
That mouse was so big and dark. If it bit him, he’d surely need to go to the hospital for shots.
Of course, he was afraid.
But in times of crisis, Dan Kaiquan also saw a light of hope.
Bai Yuxia was very scared; her slight movements betrayed her fear.
With her eyebrows slightly furrowed and hands tightly clasped, every frown and smile of hers was so touching in Dan Kaiquan’s eyes.
How could he bear to see her scared?
Dan Kaiquan’s heart beat even faster, pounding like the thudding of drums, echoing in his ears like thunder.
Blood surged through him, giving him endless strength.
Dan Kaiquan clenched his fists tightly; his cowardice, his fear, all vanished.
What replaced them was bravery!
"Princess, your knight... has arrived!"
Dan Kaiquan locked onto the mouse and he moved, striding into the aisle.
Behind him were his classmates dodging out of fear of the mouse, and in front of him was his beloved Bai Yuxia.
In the face of danger, he was a rebel against the times!
His name was Dan Kaiquan!
"In this world today, who else but me!"
Panicked screams came from behind, creating a loud commotion. To Dan Kaiquan, they were filled with pity.
Those who couldn’t overcome their fear were all so weak.
But he was different.
Dan Kaiquan took a step forward, whispering in his heart:
"Let me be the one to end all this."
He fixed his gaze on the path the mouse was taking, his right leg brimming with unbeatable strength, and he stomped down hard!
His foot was swift and accurate, full of force, and the hard sports shoe came crashing down with a "bang!"
He actually stomped on the mouse!
The mouse that had run rampant in the classroom was caught under his foot.
Everyone who saw it was shocked.
Wang Longlong exclaimed, "Damn, Brother Quan squashed the mouse!"
Guo Kunnan: "Kaiquan is so awesome, with just one foot!"
"What?" Yu Wen came over from the front.
Jiang Yanan and the others crowded around to see the excitement; a majority of the classmates gathered around, with all eyes on Dan Kaiquan. At that moment, no other student’s popularity could overshadow his.
Wang Yanyan looked at Dan Kaiquan’s foot: "You stepped on the mouse?"
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes." Huang Yuzhu said.
Dong Qingfeng: "Is it dead?"
A victorious smile spread across Dan Kaiquan’s face:
"It must be."
Upon hearing this, Hu Jun nearly cried out; his little mouse was gone.
Dan Kaiquan pressed down harder with his foot, and blood began to seep out. Satisfied, he lifted his foot.
The mouse lay dreadfully dead on the concrete floor, its ghastly form causing a twinge of sympathy.
The corpse was quite terrifying.
Ma Shicheng picked up a broom, swept the mouse into a dustpan, and broke the gaze of the onlookers.
"All right, all right, break it up."
Ma Shicheng carried the dustpan and dumped it into the trash can.
Yu Wen returned to her seat and called out to the class, "Who’s supposed to take out the trash today, go throw it in the bin."
"Just thinking about a mouse being in there makes me feel sick."
The classmates looked at each other.
Yu Wen shouted again, "Who’s supposed to take out the trash, come on, do it!"
Yang Sheng turned around and said, "Isn’t it your turn to take out the trash?"
Yu Wen was taken aback, after thinking, she realized it indeed was her turn!
Yu Wen died of embarrassment, while the surrounding classmates seemed like fools.
’Thank goodness the class monitor isn’t here,’ she thought.
Shen Qing’e looked outside at the sky, which had darkened considerably, and she volunteered:
"Wenwen, let’s go together."
Yu Wen felt much better, as Qing E was indeed her best friend, willing to accompany her.
Otherwise, she definitely wouldn’t dare throw out the trash on her own.
...
The classroom returned to peacefulness, and everyone reflected on the recent events, and couldn’t help but look at Dan Kaiquan with newfound respect.
