Chapter 26: One Cry Shocks Heaven (Part 2)
The scene of people coming up to congratulate him made Zhang Huban feel a bit disoriented, with a feeling of crying and laughing at the same time. Is it worth congratulating that a person who could have flown away got first place in the 1500m run? Liu Feifei was pulling on her own hem, looking up at herself with an adoring gaze, while Liu Xijun smiled and gently wiped away the sweat she had deliberately worked up, using a tissue. Hu Zhiming and the others were giving heartfelt congratulations, but after seeing Liu Xijun's intimate movements, they glared at Zhang Huban with eyes that could kill, making cold laughing sounds. All of this made Zhang Huban feel that this running competition was actually just a show, and it was all worth it!
After a short rest, Zhang Huban participated in the long jump and high jump competitions. Under the gaze of everyone, especially Liu Feifei's expectant eyes, Zhang Huban did not disappoint and won a series of first places again. It is worth mentioning that later, Scottish beauty Cindy also came to watch and joined Hu Ziming's cheerleading team. A team with two top-level beauties from China and abroad, plus a lovely little girl, naturally made the five of them, including Hu Ziming, feel insignificant. The commotion caused by this was imaginable, and wherever they passed, people turned their heads in unison. As the object of affection for the beauties, Zhang Huban's reputation rose even more because of the beauties, and he was also envied by the male students' jealous eyes. However, Hu Ziming and his friends, who were with two beauties for the first time in their lives, were beaming with joy at this moment, and when people looked at them with disdainful eyes (of course, the fresh flowers were those two beauties), they thought it was because people were envious of them. They seemed even more proud and arrogant, as if they wanted this competition to last until the end of the semester.
After almost sweeping the entire arena, Zhang Huban, a freshman from a remote mountainous area, instantly became famous in Huanzi College. Just as people who were not familiar with Zhang Huban were inquiring about him and the beautiful girl cheering for him, Zhang Huban, Liu Xizhen, Cindy, and of course those five annoying wolves were celebrating Zhang Huban's achievement today at Zuixiang Building near the school.
Liu Xi Zhen's love for the house and wu, towards Ho Chi Minh and his four friends, did not show a cold and beautiful woman's demeanor. Instead, she was full of feminine charm and gentleness everywhere. As for Scottish beauty Cindy, who came from a so-called developed country, she was even more unrestrained and charmingly radiant. Therefore, Ho Chi Minh, Li Yong, and the other four people all showed off their skills and flattered her with excessive praise, it can be said that they were extremely embarrassing. Zhang Hu Pan's frequent eye signals to them, but they were all oblivious. What's even more hateful is that Liu Xi Zhen actually smiled ambiguously at Zhang Hu Pan and squeezed her beautiful eyes, making Zhang Hu Pan so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in, almost wanting to slap the table to indicate that he didn't know these guys. Of course, for Cindy, these five people were also her students, so Zhang Hu Pan didn't need to feel ashamed of their performance in front of her.
The ancients said that without cleverness, one cannot become a great writer, and this is indeed a wise saying. Zhang Hu Pan's first dinner with two beauties at Drunken Fragrance Building coincidentally ran into Zhao Li Ya, who was also there to dine with her classmates.
Zhao Liya pretended not to notice Zhang Huban's table, others might not have noticed, but Zhang Huban was a legendary figure, a god-like person in people's tales. Zhao Liya glanced over this way, and Zhang Huban saw it clearly, even capturing the flash of surprise and inexplicable resentment that flickered in Zhao Liya's eyes.
Zhao Liya saw Zhang Huban laughing happily with two women on either side of him, but in reality, Zhang Huban was just sitting between the two women. However, to Zhao Liya, it seemed no different from being surrounded by them. For some reason, she felt a pang of sourness and even a bit of resentment towards Zhang Huban.
As the proud daughter of heaven, Zhao Liya not only has a beautiful appearance but is also the thousand-golden-miss of the Chinese Zhao Group. At any time, there are always a group of young masters surrounding her and flattering her. Only Zhang Huban, who sat at the same table with her for so many days, had never looked at her properly. In Zhao Liya's heart, she always thought that sitting at the same table with him was a blessing for his family, but she didn't expect Zhang Huban to be completely unmoved and not flattering her at all, as if the person sitting next to him was just a wooden stick. This made Zhao Liya and her roommate make a bet on when Zhang Huban would surrender to her, but they lost several times. Now he was laughing and chatting with two beautiful women over dinner, wasn't this clearly saying that Zhao Liya couldn't compare to those two? The proud Zhao Liya couldn't take this kind of humiliation, and in her heart, she had already scolded Zhang Huban mercilessly. Looking at Zhang Huban sitting there with a happy face, enjoying himself, Zhao Liya felt suffocated, as if something that belonged to her had been taken away by someone else. She finished the meal hastily and left. When she left, Zhang Huban's table was still lively, which made Zhao Liya glare at him fiercely. Poor Zhang Huban couldn't understand why he always had to be so cautious and polite when interacting with this young lady, where did he offend her?
The same scene was repeated on the school's sports field the next day, Zhang Huban took the championship of all six events with extremely restrained behavior, a stunning record-breaking score in one event, leaving all the students and teachers of the college stunned, also becoming one of their topics of conversation over tea, and stirring up the exercise enthusiasm of those seniors, yeah losing to a freshman is so embarrassing, next year if they can't take back the championship, it's better to go to a deserted place and kill themselves.
Of course, the happiest ones were Ho Chi Minh and four others. After Zhang Huban's sudden rise to fame, they not only put down their pre-competition anxiety but also often acted as if they were heroes, with a hint of self-satisfaction for having discovered a genius. They would often tell Zhang Huban that they had recommended him, and even managed to get a few free meals out of him. This made Zhang Huban so angry that he was speechless, unable to say that he was actually the real expert, and didn't deign to participate in such a competition.
What made the five people happiest was that they got to know two beautiful women, of course, they had known the Scottish beauty before, but it was just a nod and a hello in class, not like now when they were hanging out together. For Cindy, who hadn't been in China for many years, she didn't have many friends in China, let alone consider those five guys as her international friends, but the five of them were taking advantage of the situation, using the excuse of practicing their English to constantly bother Cindy. Of course, in order to communicate better with Cindy, the five of them gritted their teeth and practiced their English hard, and before long, almost everyone could speak standard British English, of course, they focused on British English just to impress the Scottish beauty! Cindy thought that her help had played a huge role in their progress, as a qualified teacher, she was overjoyed, and became close with the five of them, but didn't know that it was actually her stunning figure, charming face, and the stimulation of male hormones that drove them to work hard. Of course, every time they went out with Cindy, Zhang Hu Pan would always be there, he wouldn't miss the chance to join in on the fun with an international beauty like Cindy.
Days went by in a regular manner, Zhang Huban still attended classes every day, hung out at the library, and worked at the bar at night. Of course, on weekends, he would spend time with Liu Xijun and her mother, touring around, and now his relationship with them was as good as one family. It's unknown whether it was intentional or unintentional, but every time Zhang Huban was with Liu Xijun, she would dress in a particularly youthful and sexy way, sometimes intentionally or unintentionally exposing her proud figure in front of Zhang Huban, seemingly unintentionally pressing her body against his, making Zhang Huban's heart beat faster, and a certain part of him felt itchy. Although this was the case, Zhang Huban actually enjoyed this stimulating feeling, and being with Liu Xijun and her mother made him feel a warmth and joy he had never experienced before.
It wasn't until November that Zhang Huban finally felt like he had caught a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of human civilization. Due to his part-time job at the bar, Zhang Huban placed extra emphasis on learning about wine culture and music. At this point, Zhang Huban already knew how to mix all sorts of cocktails, although he had never actually done it before. The cocktails he mixed were a level above those made by Shangguanyun, giving him some confidence as a master in the Yuan Ying period. As for those fancy moves, how could they possibly stump Zhang Huban? Even if he didn't move his limbs, he could control over a thousand bottles and play with them in tens of thousands of ways.
If it can be said that bartending is Zhang Huban's curiosity, then music can be said to be his pure hobby. Because in the musical sky, Zhang Huban felt a deep sense of joy in his soul. Although he knew the truth about music before, he didn't know how to express that feeling. Now, through his exploration of music, he has mastered the technique of manipulating every note and can compose songs that resonate deeply with people's souls. As for musical instruments, once Zhang Huban understood their structure and sound principles, they were no longer a problem. The skill of playing an instrument is just a child's plaything for someone who can control his own spirit and has strong spiritual power.
For the study of physical chemistry and other fields, Zhang Huban has already passed the stage of being vague and unclear, and has run ahead of his classmates. He can now understand some more advanced literature. As for Chinese history, he also has a certain understanding. As a descendant of the Huaxia nation, although Zhang Huban is proud of the brilliant history that his country once had, he feels deeply ashamed of China's backwardness in modern times. He even feels indignant about the fact that the cultivation world ignores everything that happens in the secular world. Of course, like all Chinese people with a patriotic heart, Zhang Huban showed great indignation towards the Japanese for their heinous crimes committed in China. Especially when he heard that the Japanese repeatedly glossed over their invasion of China and even visited the Yasukuni Shrine without any qualms, Zhang Huban almost wanted to take his sword to Japan and use the Five Thunder Technique to blast the Yasukuni Shrine.
