Chapter 36: You'd Better Concede Directly!

  Everyone thought it was a lucky draw, but looking at Shen Mingxin's face, it didn't seem like it. Only later did they find out that this time they really hit the jackpot. Among those eliminated classes, Shen Mingxin surprisingly drew Class C, their school's sports specialty class.

  "Are you sure the draw can't be rigged?" Cheng Xiaoyou had also begun to suspect the draw, because this time B class got a bye, did all the good things go to classes A and B?

  "Definitely, otherwise you'll be the one drawing next time!" Shen Mingxin was also very depressed, didn't expect his luck to be so good, really hit the jackpot. Class C mainly because the main force in the class went to participate in the city's sports meeting, so there were not many people who could play, and finally lost to the opponent.

  They were originally one of the top contenders for this year's basketball championship, but due to the outcome of the city's competition, everyone must have been mentally prepared to take out their frustrations on Class S.

  "So, are you going to give up this time too?" Fang Jue's voice was still flat and emotionless, sounding like a robot asking a question.

  "What else? Does everyone have any good suggestions?" Cheng Xiaoyou glanced at her classmates in Class S and asked. In fact, participating in school collective activities has its benefits, at least now the attendance rate of Class S has broken the school's historical record.

  "If we give up this time, we'll only have two chances left!" Lu Jia-yi said with some concern. He has been training intensively every day and his originally frighteningly fat body can now be considered passable, looking at least one circle thinner than before.

  He has finally found his confidence and a firm goal, he doesn't want to give up so easily!

  Cheng Xiaoyou looked at Lu Jia-yi's worried face, and now he really wanted to win. Precisely because he wanted to win, he didn't want to give up like this, but sometimes giving up was necessary to go further: "But if we lose this time, we won't have any more chances."

  "I doubt our class can even beat C class when they're at full strength. We might not even be able to beat A class!"

  "So, are we really going to give up?"

  "It's just that, after practicing for so long!"

  ……

  The S-class boys who had no hope for the basketball game from the beginning, because they had already given up once and were suffocating, now have to give up again, some people said reluctantly.

  Even the girls who were recruited as cheerleaders had some dissatisfied discussions. They now have to stay behind every afternoon to practice their routines, which is extremely hard work, but even so, they don't even get a chance to perform, it's just too frustrating! No matter how well those boys do, the girls specially tailored their uniforms for the pre-match cheerleading performance.

  Their clothes can best show their figure, and the dance costumes of those professional cheerleaders in the NBA are extremely similar, claiming to be familiar with the array.

  Cheng Xiaoyou looked at the reluctant eyes below the stage and felt that Class S finally had some vitality, no longer like before when they seemed to have given up on everything except for having no other hobbies.

  "Although we gave up this time, it's equivalent to having an extra week of practice. And since we've already given up twice in a row, if we do it again next time, the other side might think we're bound to give up and our chances will be even greater!"

  Cheng Xiaoyou's voice was very clear in the class and even more determined, making people feel very credible.

  "That's definitely going to be ridiculed!"

  "They would say that people from Class S are gutless and don't even dare to compete!"

  Some people in the class complained that after last time, as long as they went outside, they could feel everyone pointing and staring at the students of Class S. If they give up again this time, who knows what will happen.

  "Has everyone heard the story of Chu Zhuang Wang? Actually, I remembered it from listening to my history teacher before, and I especially liked it!" Cheng Xiao You smiled at everyone, her eyes were very calm, and she didn't seem to be affected by the two consecutive losses in the draw.

  Looking at her classmates who were skeptical, she intentionally lowered her voice and slowed down her speech to make everyone less anxious: "Since Chu Zhuang Wang took office three years ago, he has not issued a single decree, and in handling state affairs, there is nothing to show for it.

  There was a man who held the office of Right Sima, and he presented a riddle to King Zhuang of Chu: "I have seen a bird that alighted on a mound in the south; for three years it did not spread its wings or fly, nor did it cry out. What is this bird called?"

  "King Zhuang of Chu realized that the right chamberlain was hinting at him, so he said: 'For three years it does not spread its wings - it is growing its feathers; it does not fly or cry out - it is observing the people's attitude. This bird may not fly, but when it flies, it will surely pierce the sky; it may not cry out, but when it cries out, it will surely startle people. You can rest assured that you do not necessarily understand me.'"

  "For half a year, Zhuang of Chu personally handled government affairs, abolishing ten laws that were not conducive to the development of Chu State and establishing nine things that were beneficial to the development of Chu State. He executed five corrupt officials who abused their power and appointed six talented scholars as officials to participate in politics, governing Chu State very well. Soon, Chu State became the dominant power in the world, and Zhuang of Chu became one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn period."

  "Although our class has always been the corner of Sheng Yu, it doesn't mean that we were like this before and will still be like this in the future! We are not giving up now, although we may seem weak in other classes' eyes, but we ourselves know that we are accumulating strength. Just because we can't do it now, doesn't mean we won't be able to do it in the future! Three years of silence, one loud cry; three years of not flying, one flight to soar to the sky!"

  Although Cheng Xiaoyou's voice was not loud and not so passionate, that calm tone made people feel more reliable.

  "Bang Bang Bang"

  As soon as she finished speaking, the classroom erupted in thunderous applause. At first, there were still people whispering to each other, but after Cheng Xiaoyou's last words, all eyes were fixed on this bright-eyed girl.

  Ling Ye Xi looked at the girl who was gradually revealing her strong side, and smiled faintly. Only when she became stronger like this did she have value to him.

  When the outside class students went to the stadium to watch the excitement after learning that Class S had given up again this time, the shouting and scolding began. As Saint Wing School's rare first-time entry into the public eye, Class S surprisingly forfeited both matches directly, leaving everyone with nothing exciting to see!

  Everyone thinks that team S is going to give up the competition directly, and they scold them for doing it too early. Since they are like this, why did they insist on participating in the competition at the beginning? As a result, the rules of this competition have been changed, causing those teams that might have rushed to the championship to lose their opportunity this time.

  At one time, Class S became the target of public criticism.

  [Author's note]: The results of S class' match will be out today, so everyone please wait with bated breath!
