Chapter 519: Chapter 344 Soar!_2
The pain that emanated from the deepest part of his heart was amplified throughout his body.
Dan Kaiquan silently put on his Bluetooth headphones and played a melancholic love song.
He let his pain diffuse.
Listening to love songs after a breakup only made him sadder, he clutched his Chinese textbook and immersed himself in sorrow, gradually ignoring the sounds of reading around him.
The noise could no longer disturb him.
In his world, there was only himself.
How wonderful it was, he could now lick his wounds alone.
He heard a classic old song, which he had found pretentious when he listened to it before, but now, Dan Kaiquan finally understood the lyrics.
The lyrics moved him, and he couldn’t help but start singing along, experiencing that state of mind.
At first, his singing was not loud. His classmates were all reciting their lessons and could not hear him.
Dan Kaiquan was lost in the song and thought of Bai Yuxia, which brought memories flooding back into his mind.
He liked someone out of his reach and had strained himself to become worthy of her, evolving continuously just to be able to match her.
In his heart, she was no longer just a girl he liked, but also his spiritual sustenance.
Dab Kaiquan was incredibly invested and sang with deep emotion, he even ended up singing himself to tears!
As the song in his headphones reached the most heart-wrenching lyrics, Dan Kaiquan empathized deeply and couldn’t help crying out loudly.
"Do you know how much regret and how many hopes I have?"
"My love for you is such a clear and firm belief."
His singing drowned out everything else, suppressing all the other sounds of reciting.
His classmates were stunned, they shut their mouths and looked at Dan Kaiquan with shocked expressions.
Then came a burst of insane laughter.
...
Morning self-study barely returned to normal under the mediation of the class monitor, Huang Zhongfei.
During the break, everyone went out for breakfast.
Cui Yu, having finished his meal and with some time left before class, didn’t return to his seat but stayed in the back row chatting nonsensically with a few others.
Wu Xiaoqi entered through the back door, hugging a basketball. He didn’t return to his seat, but squatted down with the ball, then his legs pushed, and his whole body soared.
Cui Yu was disdainful, "Xiao Qi, you’re practicing frog jumps again."
Wu Xiaoqi, determined to become a great player, insisted on doing two hundred frog jumps every day to train his jumping ability.
As Wu Xiaoqi jumped, his phone simultaneously played an electronic music ringtone. At that time, smartphones were just starting to become popular, and many students had only recently discovered the internet. Having had enough of the popular music of the time, some students ventured into the realm of electronic music to express their personal taste.
Wu Xiaoqi had good taste. The electronic music he played was ethereal and forceful, and his phone’s sound quality was excellent, making the electronic music quite impactful.
As Cui Yu listened, he began tapping his foot, suddenly remembering a comment he had seen before:
"Our journey is the stars and the sea."
"After I die, if there’s peace in the world, that’s all; if foreign invaders come, play this music on my grave, and I will rise from the dead to fight for my country."
If young people aren’t passionate, can they still be called young?
Unnoticed, Cui Yu was fired up!
His blood surged throughout his body, filled with endless strength.
He dashed to the back door of the classroom, stretched his arms straight, his fingers grasping the edge of the door frame overhead, and started doing pull-ups: one, two, three!
Thus, a strange scene occurred at the back of the classroom: one non-stop jumping, the other constantly pulling at his arms, as the entire class looked at them as if they were fools.
Yet, the two individuals immersed in that atmosphere felt incredibly cool.
Having divergent thinking, Wu Xiaoqi thought about combining street dance with basketball while practicing street dance, eventually creating "Basketball Dance."
But now, he wasn’t content just with frog jumps; he wanted to invent a new training method.
Suddenly, he had a revelation!
After his final jump, Wu Xiaoqi stopped moving.
"Cui Yu, let me teach you how to do pull-ups!" Wu Xiaoqi said aloud.
His opinion of Cui Yu had changed significantly; he appreciated those who could keep up with his pace, from Dan Xiao to Cui Yu.
Cui Yu furiously did ten pull-ups; he was thin and light, and although his pull-ups weren’t standard, coupled with the stimulation from the electronic music, it wasn’t too taxing.
"Xiao Qi, what are you going to do?" Cui Yu asked as he came down from the door.
Wu Xiaoqi flicked the basketball lightly, sending it in an arc into Cui Yu’s arms.
"Move aside for a second," he said.
Cui Yu stepped away from the door, curious about what he was going to do.
Wu Xiaoqi stood at the northernmost end of the back row, about five or six meters from the back door.
He looked up, gazing at the top edge of the door frame; he was about to perform a ’fly and dunk’ by grabbing the door frame and swinging his body up.
If done well, it would look incredibly cool!
Wu Xiaoqi held his breath, took a step, and started to run, his figure instantly darting out.
Wang Longlong clapped his hands, "Fast, too fast!"
In high-speed motion, Wu Xiaoqi heard the wind whistling past, and in that brief second, he turned into a streak of light!
His eyes fixed tightly on the door frame, he knew that in the next moment, he would grab the frame, swinging like the strongest orangutan in the Amazon gripping a giant tree trunk.
In that pose, he would crown himself king, awe the whole crowd, and look down on all beings!
As Wu Xiaoqi approached the door, he kicked his legs and leaped, his jumping ability was indeed too extraordinary, even beyond his own imagination.
Wu Xiaoqi was like a solid brick, hurled into the air, his whole body flying high, his head level with the door lintel.
His hands couldn’t catch the door frame at all.
His excellent motor skills couldn’t react in time.
Wu Xiaoqi, gliding in the air, banged his head against the top of the door frame with a loud "bang!"
Stricken hard, his flying body suddenly halted, and he fell to the ground on his back, just like a fallen star.
His eyes closed, he lost consciousness.
The air suddenly went quiet.
Wang Longlong exclaimed, "Damn it, Brother Qi had an accident!"
The students in the front row turned their heads toward the noise, Chen Siyu stood up to watch the excitement, and in the back of the classroom lay a person with blood on his forehead.
Someone asked what had happened?
Wang Longlong replied, "Hit his head on the door frame!"
Chen Siyu said, "The door frame can hit someone that hard?"
The class erupted in murmurs!
Wang Longlong and Guo Kunnan hurried forward; Wu Xiaoqi lay on the ground, motionless.
Cui Yu extended his foot and kicked him twice, still no movement.
Cui Yu shouted, "Call for Black and White Impermanence from Class 11."
It was the right time to give Wu Xiaoqi his last rites.
Wang Longlong quickly said, "Stop messing around, find the medical office!"
He didn’t lack empathy like Cui Yu; they were classmates after all. Although Wu Xiaoqi often invoked dislike, it hadn’t reached the point where everyone wanted him dead.
Huang Yuzhu dashed out of the classroom, "I’ll go call the doctor, you guys watch him!"
The back rows of the classroom rustled with people crowding around Wu Xiaoqi.
"Damn, Xiao Qi won’t be in trouble, right?" Guo Kunnan was extremely worried.
Huang Zhongfei rushed over, and seeing Wu Xiaoqi’s pitiful state, he felt a headache coming on.
Dong Qingfeng suddenly said, "Pang Jiao, don’t you guys know CPR? Give Xiao Qi a couple of breaths!"
"Try to wake him up?"
Everyone looked at Dong Qingfeng.
Their expressions seemed to say, ’What huge grudge do you have against Wu Xiaoqi?’
Cui Yu was frozen, ’Damn it, even if I die, I don’t want Pang Jiao blowing into me.’
He shivered; Cui Yu had made plans beforehand, he had told his good brother Meng Gui, no matter when, never let Pang Jiao give him mouth to mouth.
While Dong Qingfeng’s suggestion drew complaints, the classmates still turned to Pang Jiao, waiting for her to take action. 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
Pang Jiao sternly declared, "My mouth-to-mouth isn’t available today!"
She only saved pretty boys and handsome guys; Wu Xiaoqi with his damaged looks didn’t qualify.
Everyone was a bit dumbfounded, was this being rejected?
Pang Jiao refused, and so did her sisters, Zhang Yifei and Li Shengnan, leaving Wu Xiaoqi flat out on the floor, waiting for the school doctor to come.
Chen Siyu was deeply concerned, "Jiang Ning, Wu Xiaoqi won’t be in trouble, right?"
If something really went wrong, she would definitely be traumatized.
Bai Yuxia also stood up; her mother was a doctor, and she knew a bit about emergency response, though not very well.
Jiang Ning observed Wu Xiaoqi’s condition with Divine Sense and said calmly, "It’s not a big issue, just a concussion."
"Ah, really?" Chen Siyu felt somewhat relieved.
Bai Yuxia had a different opinion, "The sound of the impact just now was pretty loud, it might not be simple."
Chen Siyu’s heart tensed again.
She was led on a rollercoaster of emotions by Jiang Ning and Bai Yuxia.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning secretly released a thread of Spiritual Power, tapping it quietly on Wu Xiaoqi’s forehead.
As if struck by an electric shock, Wu Xiaoqi suddenly kipped up from the ground and stood straight against Pang Jiao.
"Yahoo! He’s playing dead!"
