The last class in the afternoon was physical education.
There was a tradition at the school where, whether it was during sports day or the school anniversary, there would be a large-scale aerobics performance involving all the high school girls. By the time they reached senior year, they had two physical education classes a week: one for girls to do aerobics and the other for boys to play basketball. The girls' second physical education class was usually taken up by other subjects on rotation.
"Qingqing, have you learned the aerobics routine?" Asked Li Yi, her new deskmate.
Having only been at the school for less than a month, Gu Qingqing had probably attended only two or three aerobics classes. The school's aerobics routine was said to be the most challenging in the city and even the province, selecting the most challenging aerobics routines available. Seeing that Gu Qingqing came from the countryside, she probably had no exposure to this and had only attended a couple of classes.
Li Yi was very worried.
Each student had a locker at the back of the classroom. Gu Qingqing opened hers and took out her aerobics outfit, catching a whiff of someone else's scent.
She frowned slightly. "A little."
Li Yi became anxious. "I barely passed. How about I teach you before class?"
Unlike classes in Building A, where students might not excel academically, Building B's students, aside from the children of wealthy or influential families, were mostly special recruits in various fields such as sports, arts, music, and dance.
And Yang Qi was the captain and coach of the senior aerobics team. Therefore, the requirements for aerobics in Class Nineteen were particularly high and couldn't be passed by just slacking off.
If Gu Qingqing failed, Yang Qi would have a reason to publicly embarrass her!
As Li Yi was fretting, Yang Qi suddenly walked over to Gu Qingqing and said, "Do you need me to give you special training?"
Gu Qingqing looked up and caught Yang Qi's scent. "No need."
Yang Qi snorted and walked away with a few of her girl friends.
"Qiqi, do you think she noticed her clothes were tampered with?"
Yang Qi sneered, "I only loosened a few threads, didn't even cut them. It's impossible to notice like this. Only when she wears them and moves vigorously will the threads slip, then she'll know."
The others couldn't help but laugh.
"Threads slipping, only you could come up with that. Wouldn't that turn the workout clothes into two pieces of fabric? Exposing everything?"
Yang Qi huffed, "That's the price she pays for seducing Master Chu!"
Watching the gymnastics exercise was a privilege for the male students, and with Yang Qi, a well-known beauty like her, while people were changing in the locker room, students from all grades gathered in the sports field to watch the excitement.
Gu Qingqing changed into her workout clothes, tied her hair into a bun, and used a rabbit-shaped hair tie.
"Yang Qi, her hair tie is the same as yours!" Yang Qi's sister, Liu Ying, suddenly said.
Yang Qi glanced over and snorted. It didn't seem like a big deal, but it was extremely insulting.
"Qingqing didn't imitate you!" Li Yi quickly interjected.
She had been criticized for wearing the same clothes as Yang Qi once, with people saying she was imitating her and whatnot.
Yang Qi had already changed into her clothes. Her chest was full, her waist was slender, and with a casual tilt of her hips and legs crossed, her graceful posture was on full display.
She looked down on everyone and said in a queenly tone, "I permit you to imitate me."
With that, she led her girl friends out in a flirtatious manner.
Soon, whistles and screams could be heard outside, "Yang Qi! Yang Qi!"
Yang Qi looked at the crowd, which seemed even larger than usual today. Almost the entire basketball court was empty, with only Chu Wei from Class Nineteen and a few others playing basketball. Almost everyone else had come over to watch the excitement.
When Zhou Tong heard the commotion, he couldn't help but turn around to look. Chu Wei passed the ball to him, but it hit his chin, causing the saliva that was already a bit too full to splash out directly.
"Squad leader, are you okay?"
Zhou Tong rubbed his chin. "Master Chu, can I go to the restroom?"
Chu Wei had already picked up the water nearby. "You have ten minutes!"
Zhou Tong ran off, eager to watch the show.
Yang Qi glanced in the direction of Chu Wei from afar and waved at him, but Chu Wei naturally didn't respond. "Keep playing," he said.
With one less person, he played for two!
One by one, the girls came out of the locker room, wearing tight-fitting gym clothes that emphasized their curves and proportions. At the age of seventeen or eighteen, due to their bodies developing horizontally, many people tended to be a bit chubby. No matter how well they usually concealed their figure flaws, once they put on gym clothes, it was like a public execution scene.
Yang Qi stood on the platform specially built for her, looking very satisfied as each girl, not as good as her, lined up below.
She also enjoyed the feeling of attracting everyone's attention. It was as if she were a queen, and the others were ants under her feet.
At that moment...
"Wow! What a goddess!"
Screams and whistles suddenly erupted, and the boys' gazes all turned to the newcomer.
"Is that Gu Qingqing? So cool!"
Her figure was definitely the golden ratio. Although her chest was a bit small, resembling two small bread buns, her waist, exposed beneath her clothes, was slender and even showed hints of abdominal muscles.
With a fresh bun hairstyle, devoid of the softness of long hair, and a clean and neat figure, coupled with her extremely calm expression, she appeared like a female agent straight out of a movie—beautiful and cool.
Yang Qi immediately noticed Gu Qingqing's toned abs. Aren't these the perfect abs she had been striving for? She glanced down at her own slightly rounded waist, the result of not dieting recently. Forget about abs; she was starting to see some flab.
Compared to the other students, she was indeed slim and exquisite, but with Gu Qingqing there, she seemed chubby.
"Gu Qingqing!"
Gu Qingqing turned around, and Yang Qi suddenly realized that she seemed to have blurted out her thoughts. She adjusted her expression, raised her chin, and said, "You're new here. Let me see how well you've practiced?"
She deliberately made room on the platform, intending to embarrass Gu Qingqing thoroughly!
Being the person who lost the most face while standing on the platform symbolizing honor, she would never be able to hold her head up high again!
"Qingqing?" Li Yi held Gu Qingqing's hand, a little afraid. She didn't want her new deskmate to be publicly humiliated.
Gu Qingqing's expression remained unchanged. "I can."
Li Yi let go of her hand but still felt uneasy.
Gu Qingqing stepped onto the platform, and the cheers and whistles grew louder.
Yang Qi felt resentful. Don't be too proud; the real show is yet to come!
She personally turned on the sound system, and as the music played, everyone on the platform moved in response. Every movement, even every muscle, landed precisely on the beat of the music.
Perhaps ordinary people could only see how smooth and skilled it was, but Chu Wei, who played basketball on the court, stopped for a moment. He noticed the subtle changes in muscle texture.
While others might only imitate the superficial appearance when learning this kind of thing, Gu Qingqing was the only one who had mastered the essence and practiced it to perfection from the inside out.
"Watch out, Master Chu!"
With a bang, the basketball hit Chu Wei's handsome face.
Damn!
