Chapter 2: Rebirth Return

  When I was in high school, the school rule for sports students was that no matter whether they were boarding or day students, they had to arrive at school by 5:30 every morning for morning training. Breakfast was also provided uniformly in the school cafeteria, so it's not necessary to mention the day students, but just to say that boarding students had to get up early.

  The cause of the matter was a student who lived in our school and was called "Little Bean" by us. Little Bean's family is not from our city, so he boarded at our school. He is not very tall, only about 167 cm, but his legs are long, estimated to be over one meter.

  He is small and thin, but runs like the wind, especially in middle and long distance running, his endurance is particularly good. In our city's youth middle and long distance running competitions, he has been first every year since he came to our school.

  In the first year of high school, he was already a national second-level athlete. By the second year, he had become a first-level athlete. As soon as he entered his third year of high school, he was exceptionally admitted to Dongda University and is said to have approached the level of an international athlete. He's indeed the cream of the crop.

  Because the boarding students who practice sports get up too early, in order to avoid disturbing other students' rest, the boarding students of all grades and classes are concentrated on the first floor of the boys' dormitory building. The entire first floor is left empty for more than half of the other students.

  The high school I was in at the time had two campuses, south and north. Later, they became two separate schools, each with their own campus, dormitory, and characteristics. The southern campus mostly consisted of students with special talents, while the northern campus was generally made up of students who excelled academically.

  I was in the south campus, at that time the top floor of the boys' dormitory in the north campus had 7 to 8 rooms with severe water leakage, and since there were not many spare rooms in the north campus, they sent two dormitories with 16 boys to live on the first floor of the south campus.

  This group of top students from the northern campus came to the southern campus's first floor and were not adapted to the schedule of sports special students, especially hearing their large-scale wake-up and washing sounds at 5 am, and requested a change of dorm twice.

  The school had no choice but to move all the sports students to the east side of the first floor, and put the top students from the north campus on the west side. However, this also made the sports students extremely dissatisfied. Although they were far apart and didn't bother each other, they still had to share the only public washroom and toilet on the first floor.

  The contradiction occurred again the next morning after two weeks of adjustment. That morning, the sports students got up and washed as usual, but what was different was that all 8 people in a dormitory on the west side of the first floor also got up.

  They were a class, the night before eating together at a new hot pot restaurant across from school, and they all got food poisoning, pulling an all-nighter with diarrhea. The dorm manager even stayed up all night to buy them medicine, but it didn't seem to work, so they took them out to the hospital for shots.

  Kept messing around until after 3 o'clock before returning, everyone was already asleep. The athletes got up together and were woken up again, waiting for the athletes to go out and pull their pants down, the dormitory director Guang Liang stood in the corridor and scolded loudly.

  "You bunch of idiots, didn't even grow a brain to learn from others and read books, it's better to go to the construction site and move bricks early, can't sleep and affect others' sleep, what's wrong with you!"

  Guang Tou Qiang is the study committee member of Class 2, Grade 3 in North School. His family isn't from our city either. It's said that his academic performance is exceptionally good and he's been slender and elegant since young, but unfortunately, he inherited his father's baldness, so at a young age, he already had a shiny bald head like the iron fence surrounding the ice rink in the middle of the desert, so he just shaved it clean.

  Because he was afraid of having diarrhea and it would be inconvenient to sleep, he didn't even wear his underpants. At this time, he was woken up by the noise, standing naked in front of their dormitory door with a large iron stationery box in hand, loudly scolding them.

  Xiao DouDou went to the toilet and had a bowel movement, everyone else left, he just came out of the toilet and was told something proper. Xiao DouDou may look small, but his personality is not that of a good guy, they are all 17 or 18 years old, who is afraid of whom?

  He came out of the toilet and wasn't even allowed to speak, facing a bald man who was more than a head taller and thinner than him, he shouted back: "I'm superior to you, all you have is a big mouth?"

  As he spoke, he walked towards Guang Touqiang, looking like he wanted to teach this sharp-tongued kid a lesson. This stirred up trouble, and suddenly 7 hospital mates rushed out of Guang Touqiang's dormitory, not even wearing their underwear, and together they gave Xiaodou a good beating.

  Baldy Qiang took a step forward, and with the iron stationery box in hand, he slammed it onto Xiaodou's nose. The 10cm long, 6cm wide, and 1cm thick metal box landed squarely on Xiaodou's bridge, dealing a solid blow.

  Xiao DouDou let out a loud cry of pain, covering his nose as he fell to the ground. The other seven naked men rushed forward, each holding a strange weapon: some held large triangular rulers, others held iron protractors, still others held Oxford dictionaries, and one even held a set of drawing instruments in a silk-covered metal box. They all began beating Xiao DouDou mercilessly as he lay on the ground.

  It's all thanks to Xiaodou's regular physical training, don't look down on his physique, he saw an opportunity and ran from the ground to our sports field.

  As soon as we saw it, we shouted: "I was beaten! Avenge me!" The pangolin that year was also a newcomer, only 24-5 years old, and young and vigorous. As soon as he saw that Xiaodou had been beaten, he called us to go and uphold justice for Xiaodou.

  I'm actually not very familiar with Xiaodou, but we're both athletes and in the same grade. Seeing him get beaten up like that made me feel a strong sense of solidarity, and my blood started boiling.

  At this time, 8 students rushed out of the open dormitory building door, wearing only one school uniform pants and bare backs, holding various objects in their hands, shouting and scolding towards Xiaodou.

  Among them, the fastest was Gao Gao, a tall and thin bald man. He surprisingly wore only one shoe, and neither of his feet had socks on. I couldn't help but stare, and my classmates and I immediately went up to him.

  I'm holding a 30kg dumbbell, dodging and weaving to avoid hitting my nose, while Little Bean is facing off against Baldy Qiang with just one dumbbell.

  It was because of this dumbbell that I was disqualified from taking the physical education specialty exam, and Guangqiang had to drop out for a year due to fractures in both forearms, costing my family a lot of money.

  Because Guang Touqiang also beat up Xiaodou, the school mediated a private settlement between the three parties. It's said that after recovering from his injuries, Guang Touqiang was admitted to Fudan University in Shanghai, while Xiaodou was admitted to Dongda University. As for me... hehe...

  As I watched the pangolin walk into a lottery station next to the supermarket across the street, I suddenly wanted to say something to him, even if it was just a greeting.

  I walked quickly down the roadbed, heading towards the lottery station across the street. A shrill horn blared, accompanied by a screeching sound of tires braking hard, and I lost consciousness in a burst of intense pain.

  Along with the severe pain that just made my heart skip a beat, I seemed to have regained consciousness in a daze.

  "Is this damn thing a hospital?"

  I'm so furious that I'd like to find the person who bumped into me and give him a good scolding, but he just doesn't know how to yield to pedestrians.

  "Who bumped into me?" I shouted as I stood up from my chair, scolding.
