The Ultimate Versatile Soldier King

Chapter 378 Basketball Match


This class is the Chinese Studies class taught by our homeroom teacher Dong Jie, and it wasn't until the end of class that Dong Jie called out, "Luo Chao, come with me to the office."

Du Xin and the others grinned mischievously, "Bro, the homeroom teacher is a mature lady, isn't this a great opportunity to play around with the teacher? Just thinking about it makes one tremble in excitement. Go for it, young man, I promise I won't tell Tang Yan, your girlfriend." Luo Chao was at a loss for words against these guys with their risqué jokes. It was just a normal teacher-student conversation, but they made it sound like a romantic affair. Ignoring these shameless friends, he stood up and went to the office.

When he got to the office, Dong Jie was grading something, and there was no one else in the room, probably because other teachers had gone to teach classes. Luo Chao knocked on the door and went up behind her. Dong Jie turned her swivel chair around; she was wearing the same outfit as last time, her hair was tied up high, an exquisite oval face with glasses resting on her high nose, and a small dress tightly hugged her chest, which wasn't large but very firm.

A section of her fair small leg extended from her knee-length skirt, making Luo Chao swallow hard.

"What are you looking at?" Dong Jie noticed Luo Chao's gaze was somewhat off, pulled at her skirt, and said sternly. Luo Chao didn't know what to say. Should he say, "You're so pretty, I'm looking at your fair legs"? Luckily, Dong Jie didn't pursue the matter further and changed the topic.

"Luo Chao, since the beginning of school, you haven't attended class properly for a single day. Even I, as your homeroom teacher, don't know you well. I can understand you were sick and had surgery during military training, but now that you're back, why did you skip class yesterday? At this rate, how could you not fail your end-of-term exams?" As a teacher, Dong Jie gave patient advice to Luo Chao.

"Teacher, I really had something urgent to deal with yesterday; I wasn't deliberately cutting class." Luo Chao put on a sincere face of admitting his mistake.

Dong Jie was displeased, "You're a college student; of course, at this time, study is your primary task. What could be more important than study?" She just graduated with a doctorate and has only been working for a few years. Taking on the responsibility of homeroom teacher this year is a huge pressure for her. She's determined to achieve something, not wanting people to say she's hindering students or dismiss her as a mere ornament.

If I say I went to save the world, would you believe me? Luo Chao muttered in his heart, but of course, he couldn't say that to the Royal Language Academy.

Turning his eyes, "Actually, I went to visit an elderly person yesterday, she is over 80 and lives alone in Liuhai. She doesn't have anyone to care for her, so I often visit her. Yesterday, she suddenly felt unwell and called me, so..."

"So you skipped class to accompany her to the hospital, right?" Dong Jie finished his sentence for him. "Yes, teacher, you got it right. As someone educated by the nation for many years, I naturally can't shirk from such a situation." Luo Chao displayed a righteous visage.

Dong Jie looked at Luo Chao with appreciation, she didn't expect this student to have such good character, so willing to help others. "What you did was completely right. Nowadays, people like you who are willing to help others are too few. When they see elderly people fall, they stay far away, fearing being falsely accused. Even if they do help, they first take a photo as evidence. When did the traditional virtues of respecting the elderly and loving the young become so complicated?" She sighed at this point.

Luo Chao nodded guiltily, agreeing with her words, all the while knowing what he said was fabricated and didn't expect to evoke such a deep reaction from Dong Jie.

"How about this, this Sunday, I'm free, and I have time to join you in visiting that elderly person. Spend more time with her; it's really pitiful for her to be alone." Dong Jie completely believed Luo Chao's lie.

"Uh... this..." Luo Chao didn't expect Dong Jie to make this request, making him wonder where to find an elderly person to visit. This was truly digging a pit only to fall right in himself. He didn't know how to refuse her. If he insisted on not letting her go, it would surely raise her suspicions, and then his lie would be blown. He didn't want such a bad impression as a liar left in the mind of such a pretty class teacher.

"Okay, then, it's decided." Dong Jie didn't give Luo Chao much time to think, decisively concluding.

She picked up a document from the desk and handed it to Luo Chao. "The school is organizing a basketball tournament recently, and our class needs to participate. Give this to Chen Dong and ask him to select some people to train and see if our class can achieve a good result. Okay, you can go back now."

Luo Chao, feeling dejected, returned to the class, handed the document to their class president Chen Dong, sat back in his seat, and lay on the desk looking distressed as if thinking about what to do.

"Bro, what's wrong? You're absent-minded, did the homeroom teacher reject your confession?" Du Xin asked curiously.

Luo Chao snapped, "Get lost, who could refuse my confession?"

Yang Wei adjusted his glasses and immediately contradicted Du Xin, firmly supporting Luo Chao: "Exactly, with my brother's appearance — loved by all, admired by flowers — matters like this are easy for him, unlike some people who can only boast."

"Alright, you shut up too. I'm not some president of a beauty club, it's not as exaggerated as you say.

It's due to something else, and I'm not telling you guys since you can't help anyway." Luo Chao interrupted the two of them; he was really annoyed right now and didn't want the chatter of these two to bother him.

The next class was a self-study period, and Chen Dong announced the matter about the basketball competition, but no one seemed interested. Only Fei Yuan volunteered, as he was a sports enthusiast.

Seeing he had no alternatives, Chen Dong realized the computer science students were generally homebodies, cut off from sports, wearing glasses, pale-skinned and physically weak. Having them sit in front of computers playing games or reading novels was fine, but having them participate in a competition was like sending them as fodder.

The ones in class physically capable, apart from Fei Yuan, were Du Xin and Luo Chao. Luo Chao outright refused to join, and Du Xin didn't participate either, claiming he'd rather use the time to pick up girls. Chen Dong had no choice but to discuss with the homeroom teacher, as his group simply comprised two people including himself.

In the evening, when school was over, Luo Chao and his three friends decided to go out for dinner and have fun. Since Luo Chao had left them hanging the day before, this meal was on him. Luo Chao didn't mind spending on such trivialities; after all, he had several million US dollars in his Switzerland bank's Golden Card. They headed to Yixiang Building; the restaurant's boss Shen Fatty heard from the front desk that they arrived and hurried downstairs to personally attend to them, leading them to the best reserved private room.

He knew Luo Chao and his friends had deep backgrounds; last time they had beaten up the son of the health bureau's head, and not only did they get away with it, Luo Chao left him a phone number which resulted in Xu Hua's father giving him a good scolding. Building a good relationship with them was certainly a wise move.

With a grand gesture, "It's my honor for you to have a meal here; let me treat you today. Order whatever you like, and I'll fetch some of my finest bottles to add cheer to the night. Be right back." Saying this, he waddled off in haste.

Luo Chao and his friends exchanged smiles, not rejecting Shen Fatty's kind offer.
