Rebirth of a Girl in a Boys' School

Chapter 42 Lin Ruofei's Trap (1)

Ding Yilin, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up and explained in a low voice: "The school has rules: students who want to participate in Yucai School's 'Anniversary Celebration Season' are not allowed to participate individually or in groups of classes. Students from different grades can freely form clubs to participate in the 'Anniversary Celebration Season' activities. In short, everyone must participate in all activities with a spirit of unity and cooperation!"

"Oh... I finally understand!" Lin Ruofei exclaimed in realization, "So you guys wanted to persuade me to join your club so I could go with you to the school's 'anniversary celebration' and earn money!"

"That's right!"

"That's right!"

Gao Qiang and Zheng Dayu nodded in unison.

"Why did you insist on choosing me to join your club?" Lin Ruofei asked, puzzled.

“Since we’re going to be partners who share weal and woe, there are some things I’m not going to hide from you!” Gao Qiang said sincerely, “In previous years I never had to worry about finding partners, but this year the situation is a little different. Look at the southeast corner of the stadium now…”

Following Gao Qiang's directions, Lin Ruofei looked towards the southeast corner of the court... and saw a large group of people playing basketball with a thin, wiry boy.

The reason Lin Ruo thought it was a large group of people playing basketball with this thin and frail boy was because whenever they got the ball, they would immediately pass it to this thin and frail boy who was standing in the center. Everyone was playing with this dark and thin boy, and no one was vying to shoot. Only he would occasionally shoot a few balls into the basket.

"Who is that person?" Lin Ruofei couldn't help but ask. "The people who play with him are all very accommodating to him, as if they're afraid of him..."

“His name is He Zhiheng. His father is a well-known gang leader in the whole province, you know, so everyone is afraid of him,” Zheng Dayu explained in a low voice.

"Although this kid is a freshman, given his family background, no one he asks dares to refuse to join the clubs he organizes!" Gao Qiang said resentfully in a low voice, "All the good buddies who used to cooperate with me have been snatched away by him!"

"So your club is short of members, that's why you're recruiting everywhere!" Lin Ruofei smiled slightly, thinking to herself, "If I weren't disguised as a boy and hanging around the school, I could play along with you guys, but right now my survival guide only has two words... Keep a low profile! So, I absolutely cannot do anything that involves showing my face in public!"

"We just happened to witness your impressive skills at the main gate," Zheng Dayu said with a smile. "You must be quite good at these running and jumping sports..."

"I wouldn't dare say whether I'm good at it or not," Lin Ruofei waved her hand, feigning composure, and said, "I just like to play around with it from time to time!"

"That would be great!" Gao Qiang exclaimed excitedly. "As long as you agree to join our gang, we can make a fortune together!"

"What a pity..." Lin Ruofei stood up, deliberately drawing out her words.

"What's a pity?" Gao Qiang asked nervously. "Could it be that you've already agreed to join another club?"

"Could it be that you've also been bribed by that little boss?" Zheng Dayu asked anxiously.

"I haven't joined any clubs yet..." Seeing Gao Qiang and Zheng Dayu breathe a sigh of relief upon hearing this, Lin Ruofei mischievously continued:

"Because... I have absolutely no interest in that bullshit 'school anniversary season,' and I'm not going to participate at all!" Lin Ruofei said, then picked up the large plastic bag and turned to walk towards the basketball court gate...

"Hey! Lin, don't rush off! Let us tell you something..." The strong-willed Gao Qiang, along with future reporter Zheng Dayu, shouted and chased after them...

When the golden sunlight streamed into Zhang Yang's large bed, Zhang Yang slowly opened his eyes. He picked up his phone from the bedside table and realized that he had slept until after ten o'clock.

Zhang Yang had just finished washing up in the bathroom when he received a call from Yu Jialiang:

"Zhang Yang, Yangyang and I are already at the cafeteria, hurry up and come down!"

"Okay, I'll be right there." After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yang took out a bright red tracksuit from the closet, put it on, and walked straight out of the dormitory.

Although breakfast and lunch were combined into one meal, Zhang Yang still didn't have much of an appetite and didn't eat much.

"Zhang Yang," Yu Jialiang couldn't help but advise, seeing the situation, "you can't keep eating like this, it's bad for your health. Is your messy affair with Sun Jianni really worth all this trouble? You might as well..."

"Alright, Liangzi!" Guo Yang, who was sitting next to Zhang Yang, saw that Zhang Yang's expression had changed and hurriedly stopped Yu Jialiang from continuing. "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and eat! After lunch, the three of us will go to the basketball court to play some basketball. We haven't gotten together to play a proper game of basketball all holiday!"

"Great!" Yu Jialiang shouted happily, then hurriedly shoveled rice into his mouth...

When Zhang Yang and his two companions arrived at the basketball court after lunch, there were no empty courts available.

After Yu Jialiang rudely shooed away a group of students playing near the entrance, he turned around and smiled, beckoning Zhang Yang and Guo Yang to come down and play basketball together...

"I'm warning you two..." Lin Ruofei said, turning her head and feigning fierceness as she walked quickly, "If you two keep dawdling around with me, I'm going to get rough with you!"

"So what if you're rude to us?" Zheng Dayu said dismissively. "I advise you to seriously consider this before giving us an answer, otherwise it will be too late to regret it later. You should know..."

Before Zheng Dayu could finish speaking, Gao Qiang, who was standing right next to him, quickly pulled Zheng Dayu's arm, signaling him not to be forceful.

"Regret? Hmph..." Lin Ruofei sneered twice and said, "I, Lin Ruofei, have never even heard of the word 'regret' in my life! You two, stop bothering me and go find somewhere cool to stay!"

After saying that, Lin Ruofei took bigger and faster steps...

Just as Gao Qiang and Zheng Dayu were closely following behind Lin Ruofei, preparing to launch another round of persuasion, Lin Ruofei, who was walking briskly in front, suddenly 'braked' and stopped, catching the two off guard and causing them to bump into Lin Ruofei's back.

"Oh dear! Are you alright, Lin?" Gao Qiang hurriedly rubbed Lin Ruofei's back. "If you were hurt and couldn't participate in the school anniversary celebration, that would be a huge loss!"

"She's not made of paper, so what if she bumps into him?" Zheng Dayu, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but mutter under his breath when he saw Gao Qiang showing such shamelessness towards Lin Ruofei.

"Shh..." Gao Qiang hurriedly signaled Zheng Dayu not to provoke Lin Ruofei any further.

Standing in front, Lin Ruofei paid no attention to what the two people behind her were saying; her eyes were fixed straight ahead...

"What's that kid looking at?" Zheng Dayu asked Gao Qiang, who was standing beside him, in a low voice. "So engrossed in it?"

Gao Qiang shook his head, then he and Zheng Dayu curiously crowded around...

A dazzling, fiery red figure was leaping left and right across a basketball court near the exit. Against the backdrop of numerous white short-sleeved school uniforms, this red figure stood out remarkably…

"These three kids are pretty good at basketball..." Lin Ruofei couldn't help but praise them softly after watching for a while.

"You mean Zhang Yang and the other two? Of course they play well!" Gao Qiang, standing next to Lin Ruofei, continued, "All three of them were selected for the school basketball team when they first enrolled!"

“I see…” Lin Ruofei nodded.

“They’re all rich kids, they don’t need the school team subsidies to live on,” Gao Qiang continued. “They got tired after a few days and quit. Unlike us, we can’t even get into the school basketball team no matter how hard we try!”

Lin Ruofei squinted and thought for a while, then suddenly raised her right hand, extended her thumb and forefinger to make a gun shape, and 'fired a shot' at the fiery red figure on the basketball court...

"Bang!" Lin Ruofei said with a wicked grin, making a sound to match the 'gunshot' effect. "That's him!"

Since Zhang Yang and Sun Jiani became boyfriend and girlfriend in the second half of their first year of high school, Zhang Yang has rarely had time to play basketball with Yu Jialiang and Guo Yang.

From morning till night, Zhang Yang's entire life revolves around Sun Jiani.

Because of their families' high social standing, both of them were allowed to skip school, whether it was Yucai Boys' School or Yucai Girls' School. As a result, they rarely came to school.

Just as Zhang Yang was about to suggest to Sun Jianni that they get married right after graduating from high school and then go abroad to study together, an unpleasant incident occurred...

The days when Zhang Yang parted ways with Sun Jianni were the days when he came to school to attend classes. It was because of this breakup that he had the opportunity to play basketball with Yu Jialiang and Guo Yang at this moment.

Just as Zhang Yang was about to take a three-pointer, the basketball in his hand was suddenly snatched away by a hand reaching out from behind.
