Chapter Eleven Rewrite the Review

  When the passion faded, the atmosphere of the entire basketball court also cooled down. The Law School did not continue to fight back, and the slogan "Law School, waste" shouted by the History Department for more than 10 minutes also stopped. However, a new slogan appeared, and countless students from the History Department began shouting "Chen Chufan, good job!"

  The crowd of onlookers did not disperse. Chen Chufan, who had made a big show, was already surrounded by layers and layers of people, jammed in the center of the arena.

  Meng Wei and Yang Tao stared at Chen Chufan in the center of the crowd, their eyes wide with astonishment. They could be said to be Chen Chufan's closest friends in school, but now they were somewhat bewildered by him. What on earth was going on? When had Chen Chufan become so uninhibited? Was this still the introverted and low-key old three that they knew, who never liked to show off?

  "My god, this kid is really something! Yang Tao looked at the lively scene in front of him, listening to everyone shouting "Chen Chufan, great job!" and said with some envy and jealousy. "When did he learn to dunk? With his small build, how can he have such jumping ability? By the way, boss, have you ever seen him dunk before?"

  "He dunked and I've never seen it before, being capped to the point of frequent sightings!" Meng Wei rarely gave a long comment, and his inner astonishment was not much lower than Yang Tao's. And after a long rest, his ankle injury didn't hurt that much anymore. At least he didn't need someone to support him, and could walk with a limp.

  "Boss, you don't think the water in Nanhu Lake really has some kind of special effect, do you? I feel like our classmate Chen Chufan, after taking a stroll around Nanhu Lake, came out looking incredibly fierce, just like a Super Saiyan!" Yang Tao continued to express his opinion.

  Yang Tao originally only spoke in jest, but who would have thought that Meng Wei actually looked at him with a serious face, the two of them locked eyes, and tacitly nodded in unison.

  The two of them quietly left the stadium and disappeared, Yang Tao also picked up two empty mineral water bottles that they had just drunk before leaving.

  Not mentioning Meng Wei and Yang Tao's discussion at the edge of the playground, Chen Chufan, who was in the center of the crowd, had almost been driven mad by his enthusiastic classmates.

  When Chen Chufan calmed down, he himself didn't dare to believe that he had just done so many crazy things. Hitting the basketball hoop with an iron frame was nothing, anyone with blood could do it. But what about his own dunk? When did he become so capable? Chen Chufan now really wants to think carefully about what happened. He clearly feels that he is different from before, but where exactly, Chen Chufan can't say clearly. So now he really wants to be alone and quiet for a while.

  But the enthusiasm of his classmates showed no signs of abating, and he was constantly surrounded by a crowd. The aftereffects of his passion were already beginning to show, and his hands were killing him from banging on the iron frame of the basketball hoop, possibly bruising his palms. However, in the midst of the crowd, someone kept patting him on the back, praising him for doing a great job, leaving Chen Chufan on the verge of tears. There was even someone in the crowd who kept tearing at his clothes and pants. What was going on here?! He had tried his best to squeeze out of the crowd, but before he could take two steps, he would be engulfed by another group of people.

  The situation continued until the leaders of the Law School and the History Department, as well as the counselors of each grade level of both departments arrived one after another.

  It was just when the law school and history department had a conflict. The referee who foresaw the ominous situation had already informed the leaders of both colleges. However, although Zhongbei Minyuan is not a very large school, there are still two or three kilometers from the office to the basketball court, so it took about ten minutes for the teachers to arrive after receiving the notification.

  When the counselors learned about the situation from the referee's mouth, they used a loudspeaker to disperse the students gathered on the playground and announced that today's Nanhu Cup basketball game was temporarily cancelled, with the rematch date to be determined. The entire playground gradually returned to calm. Chen Chufan also finally got rid of the crowd at this time.

  At this time, Chen Chufan's image can be said to have been reduced to a state of utter dishevelment. Where was the majestic figure that had smashed the basketball hoop and dunked with abandon just moments before? His hair was now a tangled mess from being handled by countless people, his face smeared with dirty handprints, and his team jersey had been torn open from the sleeve all the way to the bottom seam. Fortunately, the fabric at the bottom of the shirt was still intact, or else he would have been left standing there bare-chested. Even his clean white basketball shoes were now stained with footprints, making him look like a refugee who had just been robbed of everything.

  Even though Chen Chufan was already so miserable, Lao Xiao still didn't let him off. After understanding the situation at the referee's office, Lao Xiao directly found Chen Chufan.

  Lao Xiao looked at Chen Chufan's disheveled appearance and said with a hint of a smile: "Chen Chufan, indeed one cannot judge a person by their appearance! It wasn't until today that I discovered you're actually a hot-blooded young man!"

  Although Old Xiao didn't use a severe tone, Chen Chufan's heart still skipped a beat. After all, he had just left Old Xiao's office that morning and hadn't yet handed in his self-criticism and guarantee letter, only to get into trouble again that afternoon. Although Chen Chufan thought he hadn't done anything wrong, who knew what the teachers were thinking?

  "Xiao Dao, you also know that Meng Wei and I have a very good relationship! Seeing the people from the Law School hurt Meng Wei and scolded him, I was impulsive at the time!" Chen Chufan continued to explain honestly with his head down.

  Looking at Chen Chufan's humble and obedient appearance, Old Xiao couldn't help but laugh. In fact, Old Xiao was very satisfied with Chen Chufan's handling of the situation. After listening to the referee's introduction of what happened at the time, if Chen Chufan hadn't made a scene, it's likely that the Law School and History Department would have clashed on the playground, which would have been a big deal. They were all young people with hot blood and impulsive behavior, and they didn't hold back when fighting. If they had really gotten into a group fight, someone might have gotten hurt, not only damaging the school's reputation but also putting Old Xiao in trouble as the History Department's counselor. However, Old Xiao couldn't openly praise Chen Chufan for this matter, after all, conflicts between departments were more complicated for counselors to handle. If he praised Chen Chufan's actions, what would the leaders of the Law School think?

  "Hmm, I heard that the iron frame of the basketball scoreboard was smashed by you?" Old Xiao asked warmly.

  "Yes!" Chen Chufan nodded.

  "That flaking paint on the basketball hoop must be your doing too! Alright, go back and write me another self-criticism, and this time, make sure to include that you shouldn't have publicly vandalized school property!" Old Xiao said after a moment of contemplation.

  "What?!" Chen Chufan looked up in confusion and stared at Old Xiao.

  "What's wrong? Not satisfied?" Old Xiao said with a stern face.

  "No, no!" Chen Chufan shook his head in panic and then continued in a low voice: "I just have one question!"

  "What's wrong, speak!" Old Xiao looked at Chen Chu Fan's frightened appearance and slowed down his expression.

  "These damaged goods won't make me lose money, will they?" Chen Chufan asked cautiously, looking at Old Xiao.

  Chen Chufan's cautious and awkward appearance, along with his uncertain tone, made Old Xiao really want to burst out laughing, but this wasn't the right occasion for a big smile. It seemed like he should be criticizing and educating the students instead. So, Old Xiao's face turned unusually strange, with twitching eye corners and cheek muscles that wouldn't stop jumping, looking extremely bizarre.

  "Hmm, this money will come out of the system, just write your self-criticism and hand it over to me!" Old Xiao said in a strange tone, turned around and left. If he stayed for another moment, he was afraid that he would burst out laughing. Then his strict image in front of the students would be completely ruined.

  Hearing that he didn't have to pay himself, Chen Chufan let out a long sigh of relief. It's no wonder Chen Chufan was nervous, his wallet was almost empty, and the 60 yuan he had prepared for Wang Linlin's birthday had left him with only over 90 yuan for the rest of the month. If he still had to compensate for the school's property damage, then he would have no way to survive. Although Lao Da and Yang Tao absolutely wouldn't watch him starve to death, Chen Chufan was unwilling to owe others money.

  Chen Chufan looked around and wanted to find Meng Wei and Yang Tao, then return to the dormitory together. As a result, he found that the two were nowhere to be seen. Chen Chufan could only leave the playground quickly by himself and returned to the dormitory alone.
