Chapter Ten: The Art of Defeating Enemies on the Battlefield

  "Tian Ge, I saw it clearly from behind, Tong Liang did it on purpose." Gao Dali said to Chu Tianfeng in the bathroom.

  "I know!" Chu Tianfeng took off his dirty clothes soaked in cola and changed into Lin Yajing's school uniform.

  The clothes didn't distinguish between men and women, but hers were just a little smaller in size, so they felt a bit tight on him. However, the lingering scent of Lin Ya's refreshing sweetness on the clothes made him feel extremely comfortable, and the unpleasant emotions he had just now completely disappeared.

  "Tian Ge, we must take the opportunity to settle with Tong Liang and that Zheng Yuanda. Others may be afraid of him, but I'm not!" Gao Dali said angrily.

  "Brother, wait for the right moment, don't be impulsive!" Chu Tianfeng patted Gao Dali's shoulder, feeling a warmth in his heart, grateful to have met such a good friend.

  He couldn't help but think of his past life. After dropping out of high school, he left Tianhai City and later heard that Gao Dalie didn't get into college either, so he took over his father's job at the slaughterhouse, which was a traditional family business.

  Although they often called each other, their friendship had clearly faded a lot. This time after rebirth, he secretly made up his mind to grasp this friendship and couldn't lose it again.

  Just as I returned to the classroom, the bell rang for class to start.

  Chu Tianfeng was wearing the school uniform with a faint scent of fragrance, holding that dirty clothes in his hand, under the astonished gaze of all his classmates, he calmly sat down in his seat as if nothing had happened.

  "Give me the clothes!" Lin Yajing's pretty face turned red, and she gently stretched out her slender, fair, and delicate small hand.

  "No need to bother, I'll just wash it myself!" Chu Tianfeng smiled and shook his head.

  It was unexpected that Lin Yajing, who had always been gentle and obedient, would be so stubborn. She grabbed the white shirt from Chu Tianfeng's arms, folded it quickly, and blushing, gently put the clothes into her backpack.

  "Thank you!" Chu Tianfeng smiled, after all, a beautiful woman's kind intentions couldn't be ignored.

  Tong Liang, who was sitting behind him, felt so angry that his teeth were itching. What's wrong with Lin Yajing? Did she really have a crush on Chu Tianfeng, the poor student?

  The classroom was filled with whispers and murmurs, Lin Yajing surprisingly volunteered to help Chu Tianfeng wash his clothes, some boys looked on with their eyes wide with wonder.

  "Could it be that Lin Yajing really likes Chu Tianfeng?"

  "If the first and last in our class really become a couple, that would be the biggest news in our class, even the whole school!"

  "Don't guess randomly, maybe Lin Yajing is just sympathizing."

  "Haha, saying that one day you'll also get your clothes dirty, see if she helps you wash them or not?"

  "Get out! I'm afraid of hurting my self-esteem!"

  Chu Tianfeng also vaguely heard the whispers, turned his head and glanced at Lin Yajing, who obviously also heard some of it, her pretty face's blush deepened even more.

  The second class in the afternoon continued, Tong Liang was still not very honest, making small movements constantly, seemingly challenging Chu Tianfeng's patience.

  "This little Haba dog, give him some color and he'll open a dye shop!" Chu Tianfeng's face remained calm and expressionless as he listened attentively to the lesson, but in his heart, he was secretly plotting how to teach Tong Liang a lesson.

  The opportunity came quickly!

  The third lesson in the afternoon is physical education class. The teacher organizes the boys to go to the playground to play football, and the girls go to the small playground to play basketball.

  Chu Tianfeng's class, High Two Class 2, is an arts class with thirty-six girls and eighteen boys. The number of girls is exactly twice that of the boys.

  On the football field, eighteen boys were divided into two groups of nine, and they could play a full match against each other.

  Chu Tianfeng and Gao Dali are in the same group, both playing as forwards, while the opposing team's goalkeeper is Tong Liang.

  Coach Mu Wu, who teaches physical education, acts as the referee. With a whistle blow, the game begins. This kind of football match in physical education class is at most a teaching match. In order to take care of students' physical strength, it is divided into two halves, each lasting 20 minutes, with a five-minute rest in between.

  Chu Tianfeng and Gao Dalie exchanged a glance, both of them understanding each other's thoughts. They simultaneously took a peek at Tong Liang, the goalkeeper on the opposing team, and both thought to themselves: What a rare opportunity this is!

  Tong Liang was physically strong but mentally simple and had no idea that Chu Tianfeng and Gao Dalie would take action against him during physical education class.

  He has been fond of the goalkeeper position since he was a child, compared to those players who run on the field, he himself sits in front of the goal, high and low, relying on his own strength to block the opponent's goal, and the outcome of the game is very exciting. Tong Liang himself is also very agile, tall, powerful, and quick-reacting, making him more suitable for being a goalkeeper.

  The classroom teaching competition has begun.

  The kick-off was made by Gao Dali, who took the ball all the way and rushed forward, but was eventually intercepted by the opponent's tall and powerful defender, Shao Bo.

  Mantis catches cicada, yellow sparrow in the rear. Chu Tianfeng had been eyeing Shaobo for a long time and saw him counterattack with the ball. He hurriedly came forward to intercept and stole the ball back, bringing it into the penalty area. With one kick, he shot at the goal, but Tong Liang blocked it.

  The first twenty minutes of the game were normal, with both sides playing very civilized. Tong Liang was in high spirits, guarding the gate and not losing his composure. He sneaked a glance at the sidelines, where several girls had come to watch the game, cheering him on nonstop. This kid became even more excited, secretly proud of himself: "Today I'm the goalkeeper! Chu Tianfeng, Gao Dalie, you two are nothing! In front of me, you're always returning empty-handed?"

  Chu Tianfeng sneered in his heart, earlier when he was kicking the ball, he secretly discussed with Gao Dali and they had agreed that the previous twenty minutes were just to numb their opponents, the real force would be unleashed in the next quarter.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, after resting for five minutes, the situation changed dramatically.

  Chu Tianfeng and Gao Dali burst out one after another, to be honest, the boys in the class are busy studying every day, their football skills are generally poor, not many excellent ones, can't hold the ball, and lose it as soon as they grab it.

  Chu Tianfeng and Gao Dali often play football with other classes' skilled players, their coordination is very tacit, playing with the boys in their own class, like adults bullying children, especially now Chu Tianfeng's cerebellum is well developed, has a strong sports talent, agile body, strong balance, playing football is really enjoyable.

  They made this move and the opposing team couldn't handle it.

  Only saw Gao Da Li intercepting the ball in midfield and then dribbling forward, making a two-on-one combination with Chu Tianfeng along the way, directly breaking into the penalty area.

  Facing the block of goalkeeper Tong Liang, Gao Dali's mouth corner revealed a cold smile, and he suddenly kicked the ball, which was like a cannonball, aiming not at the goal but at Tong Liang's belly!

  With a loud bang, Tong Liang dodged and weaved but was still hit in the stomach, feeling a scorching pain and a wave of nausea, he fell to the ground gasping for air, his face as red as a monkey's buttocks.

  "Ah... it hurts so much!" Tong Liang gritted his teeth, cold sweat dripping down.

  The boys around saw the goalkeeper was injured and came one after another to visit him. The match was temporarily suspended.

  Gao Dali rushed to the sky with a strong wind, winking his eyes and grinning, this kick was quite sinister, obviously aiming at Tong Liang's stomach, but outsiders thought it was just his shooting technique that wasn't precise, and he was directly blocked by Tong Liang.

  "Tong Liang, are you okay?" Gao Dali pretended to be friendly and walked over, patting Tong Liang's shoulder heavily, and chuckled: "You were really amazing today, blocking several of my must-go balls!"

  "Ah, mom's, you're not doing it on purpose, are you?" Tong Liang stood up with a grin, but when he saw the girls outside staring at him, cheering for his "heroic" performance just now, this kid came back to life and shook his head, saying: "It's nothing, let's continue!"

  "Continue? You little brat, wait for your doom! It's my turn now!"

  The suspended match continued, and this time Chu Tianfeng received a long pass from his own defender in the midfield, quickly launched a counterattack, and made another two-on-one cooperation with Gao Dali. He directly brought the ball into the penalty area.

  Chu Tianfeng faced Tong Liang, raised his foot and shot. With a loud bang, the ball directly hit Tong Liang's eye socket. After the ball fell to the ground and rolled to one side, Gao Dali followed up with a supplementary shot, and the ball went in.

  "Ah!" Tong Liang covered his eyes and let out a pained cry, instantly falling to his knees.

  Chu Tianfeng's previous kick was powerful and overwhelming, causing Tong Liang to see stars, his head buzzing with pain, and he almost cried out in agony.

  The match was suspended again.

  "Haha, are you okay? The ball doesn't have eyes, I'm really sorry!" Chu Tianfeng came to Tong Liang's side and patted his shoulder to comfort him.

  "Ah yo, you're doing this on purpose!" Tong Liang covered his eyes and shouted, unable to even stand up.

  "What does this mean? As a goalkeeper, don't you even have the ability to resist a punch?" Chu Tianfeng sneered.

  At this time, physical education teacher Mu Wu walked over, bowed his head to look at Tong Liang's injury, actually nothing, just a dark eye socket, such situation is not rare in the competition.

  "Haha, it's normal to get a little hurt in a football match! Tong Liang, you'd better go to the school clinic to put on some medicine!" Mu Wu glanced at Chu Tianfeng and Gao Dali, he could see that their shots were not aimed at the goal today, but as a teacher, he couldn't escalate the conflict, so he had to mediate.

  Tong Liang glared at Chu Tianfeng with a scowl, but he was speechless and couldn't express his grievances. Was Chu Tianfeng doing it on purpose? But there was no evidence to be found. After all, anything could happen in a football match.

  Chu Tianfeng saw Tong Liang's eyes getting more and more swollen, like a panda's eyes. In his heart, he secretly sneered: "Little kid! You're still too tender to fight me!"

  He believes that making an opponent suffer a loss and yet being unable to find a reason to counterattack, both protects oneself and teaches the opponent a lesson, this is what is called "the art of defeating the enemy".

  Tong Liang sat behind Chu Tianfeng, always making small moves that were annoying. If he didn't teach him a lesson, he would definitely become more and more arrogant.

  After physical education class, rest for half an hour, and then it's evening self-study. As the college entrance examination is approaching, the course arrangement is relatively tight, and the so-called evening self-study is actually a disguised supplementary lesson.

  Chu Tianfeng and Gao Dalie returned to the classroom, this break was a bit longer, some students chose to have a snack at this time, eating their own snacks or going out of school to get some small eats.

  Gao Dali was a big and tall man, with a big appetite to match. He always carried a large bag of snacks with him. He tossed a bread and a bottle of water to Chu Tianfeng, and the two of them returned to their seats to eat.
