Chapter 417 -416: Are They Handsome?
Not Even a Tenth as Good as Director Lian Qi
Lu Mian fell into deep thought as she opened the first page of the notebook.
She always had a good memory, and she recognized the contents of this notebook.
She read quickly, flipping through dozens of pages in a moment, becoming more and more certain that she had seen this notebook at her master, Yun Zhijuan’s, place.
However, the one at her master’s was a photocopy, while this was the original.
The handwriting in the notebook was wild and unrestrained, flamboyant, and all the content was about physics.
There were records of physical experiments, related theoretical deductions, and a great deal of physics knowledge not found in textbooks, even some internal materials not yet published by current physics research institutes.
It was indeed precious.
But, was this notebook Xiao Qimo’s?
Why did her master also have a copy?
She sat on the floor, hugged the notebook, and read it straight through to the end.
Back then, at Yun Zhijuan’s, she hadn’t seen the whole notebook but had only read a few pages before that stinky old man took it away.
Now that she saw the complete notebook again, she furrowed her brows, deep in thought.
——
The next morning, Lu Mian was woken up by the noisy screams of girls; she lifted her arm and half-squinted at the time, 6:30 a.m.
It was still early before class time, and Lu Mian couldn’t fall back asleep anyway, so she simply got up and took a shower in the bathroom.
She had stayed up late reading the notebook last night and wasn’t very spirited this morning, feeling lazy and world-weary.
After a shower, she began to feel like herself again.
She changed into sportswear, grabbed a towel, and leisurely headed downstairs.
Xiu Qian said she lacked discipline, but in reality, she was more disciplined than anyone.
Regular and inexorable physical training allowed her to maintain rapid and agile responsiveness anytime, anywhere.
No one becomes strong out of thin air; it’s just the result of silent dedication and years of accumulation.
The further she walked down, the clearer those intermittent screams became.
As Lu Mian walked down, a few scattered boys greeted her, and she nodded and smiled in return.
When she reached the villa’s courtyard, she saw a group of girls from her class blocking the entrance, pointing and talking excitedly about something.
The morning air was cold; the girls, wrapped in cotton jackets, huddled their hands in front of their mouths to breathe warm air but stubbornly stood there anyway.
“Look, look, they are running again!
It’s already the fifth lap; their endurance is really good!”
The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.
“They are much handsomer than in the photos, oh my, so many boys, I don’t even know who to root for!”
“Children make choices, I want them all!”
“Except for their captain S God, the rest are all boys under 22!
Of course, they have good endurance!”
“Why haven’t I seen S God?
I wanted to see what he looks like in person…”
Accompanied by the girls’ screams, clear chanting could be heard from the road outside the villa.
Lu Mian walked over with a rhythmic step, only then realizing the Shadow Hunting Team was doing morning training outside.
It wasn’t hard to understand; professional e-sports players like them had to maintain not just professional standards but also physical fitness.
Especially in the cybersecurity competitions, a match wasn’t just a test of skills but a combination of endurance and mental power.
To her knowledge, there were even marathon-style competitions in CTF contests, where it was normal to have a match that lasted three or four days.
Exercises like these were nothing out of the ordinary.
Lu Mian had no idea what these girls were screaming about.
Were they handsome?
Not really, couldn’t even compare to a tenth of Director Qimo.
However, the shorts of Captain Yun Sang did look quite nice.
She looked at the group of girls blocking the doorway and said, out of the blue and with calm, “Excuse me, thank you.”
Her words stood out crisp and clear amid the excited chatter; almost all the girls from the class had gathered here, and upon seeing Lu Mian’s cool and indifferent demeanor, they exchanged looks and reluctantly made way for her with a twist of their mouths.
But after noticing her entire outfit, the girls all grimaced at the same time.
At this moment, she was dressed in a thin black tracksuit that hugged her figure, making her physique even more perfect.
Especially those legs, they were like the standard legs of a girl from a comic book.
Lu Mian was naturally beautiful, and even in a simple black tracksuit, she still managed to dazzle.
Qu Weiwei turned her head back with a curl of her lip, her arms crossed as she looked at Lu Mian with a mocking tone, “Look at you all dressed up.
What, are you going to go jogging too?
You don’t think that by doing this, you could attract the attention of the Shadow Hunting Team members, do you…”
Another girl spoke up unkindly as well.
“Your outfit does seem pretty professional, but it’s a bit like the ugly woman trying to make herself beautiful by imitating Xi Shi!
People run in the morning to train, but what are you running for?”
Lu Mian was never part of the group, having made it clear from the start that she wouldn’t make friends with them.
The boys might talk to her because of her looks, but as for the girls, no one wanted to bother with her except for Fang Xilan.
Moreover, Lu Mian was the arch-enemy of their male god, Xiu Qian.
Qiao Yaning stood at the forefront, holding herself like a daughter of a wealthy family, and turned to remind her.
“Lu Mian, you might not be aware of the rules of the Shadow Hunting Team, but no matter how much you try to catch their attention, they will not mind you.
Because that’s their team rule.”
How could Lu Mian not know their team rules?
It was precisely because she knew them too well that she didn’t have much of an impression of this team.
But what did her morning exercise have to do with these people?
“Step aside!” Her voice grew colder, and she walked expressionlessly to the front.
Just then, the members of the Shadow Hunting Team were running in two neat rows, coming their way.
The vice-captain was shouting slogans on the outside, a group of young men all clad in the same long clothes and sleeves, running amidst the winter chill.
Another wave of screams from the girls ensued.
Lu Mian draped her towel around her neck, waiting impatiently for these people to leave.
Cheng Feng was at the very front of the lineup.
While running, he saw Lu Mian coming out of Yulan Pavilion.
Having seen her a few times before and considering she was such a delicate-looking girl, Cheng Feng recognized her instantly among the crowd of girls.
He looked up at the sign of Yulan Pavilion.
Then, with great enthusiasm, he waved in Lu Mian’s direction, though he still didn’t know her name.
“Ah—”
The screams intensified.
“That’s the team’s striker, Crazy Chengzi!
He’s waving at me!
He even smiled at me!”
“It’s not you he’s waving at, but over here!” a girl standing beside Lu Mian retorted disdainfully, waving back even more enthusiastically.
“Even if Chengzi isn’t waving at me, it’s not you either!
Maybe, he’s waving at all of us!”
While the group of girls were still arguing about whom Cheng Feng was actually smiling at, Lu Mian didn’t even bother to spare him a glance, irritatedly fiddled with her ear, and started running in the opposite direction from the Shadow Hunting Team.
