Chapter 10 - Guo Xiang

Han Xiao looked at the car that was leaving and asked. "Why did you let your driver go? How are we supposed to get there?"

"Let's take the bus," Hezekiah suggested

"Okay, that's a good idea." Han Xiao looks around and points across the road. "Look, there's a bus stop on the next street."

Hezekiah nodded. They walk to the cross line. The red light was on. After what takes about one and a half to two minutes, the light changes to green and they cross.

Han Xiao took out his phone to time the bus and saw that the bus would arrive in three minutes. He turned to Hezekiah and asked: "The bus will arrive in three minutes. Do you have a Bus pass?" 

"No." Hezekiah twisted his head in confusion.

Do you need a pass to ride a bus?

He hasn't ridden a bus before so things like this became complicated.

"Don't sweat it. You can use a Quarter or penny when you don't have a bus pass."

Quarter? Penny? 

Hezekiah thought for a moment, then shook his head. "I don't have those either."

"Then what do you have?" Han Xiao asks curiously

Hezekiah reached into his pocket and took out his credit card. "I can use this card, right?"

Damn Rich people! Han Xiao mentally sweats. 

Calm down, calm down, Calm down.

Patience is all you need.

Han Xiao took a long breath. After a while, he looked at Hezekiah and waved his hand. "Forget it, the bus is already here. I'll pay for you."

Hezekiah's eyes lit up. "Thank you."

They got on the bus. Luckily the bus wasn't packed.

Hezekiah was curious, he observed everything within the bus. As people go in and out.

Seeing him like this, Han Xiao couldn't help asking. "Is this your first time riding a bus?"

He thought Hezekiah would say no, but unexpectedly, the guy nodded.

"I always wanted to ride on a bus, today that I got the chance, it's so exciting."

Han Xiao held his forehead helplessly.

Someone chuckles behind them. Hezekiah turned around. 

When the boy saw him, he was stunned for a moment, then, he retreated and lowered his head. He was attracted to their conversation because he felt that Hezekiah's voice was pleasant, but now, he saw that Hezekiah is even more good-looking than he imagined.

Hezekiah on the other hand was stunned when the person retreated his glance. The other person has a face cap and a mask on, so there's no way to see his face. Hezekiah looked for a moment and gave up.

"Zhou Jiang, let go." Han Xiao called After the bus stop.

"Okay"

That voice … Han Xiao? Oh, Proficient Academic.

After they got off the bus, The boy 'Guo Xiang' lifted his head and laughed. 

Last year:

Revolution Academy campus. 

Han Xiao was hiding behind the flowers, recording the Revolution tennis players as they practiced.

When Guo Xiang saw someone in between the flowers, he walked over. "What are you doing?"

Han Xiao was stunned, he stood up and almost dropped his phone.

"Who are you?" Guo Xiang ask again

Han Xiao was still in a daze, he didn't expect himself to be caught so he was unable to respond for a moment.

Seeing the person not speaking, Guo Xiang was about to lose his temper and send this dump kid out.

Han Xiao came back to his senses and introduced himself. "I am Han Xiao, from Proficient Academy."

Proficient Academy?

Guo Xiang was suddenly interested, "Why are you here?"

"I'm a spy of course." Han Xiao answer without thinking

"A spy will not just confess his intentions." Guo Xiang laughed

"Brother, a spy who calls himself a spy, is the most dangerous one." Han Xiao said as if for Guo Xiang to take note

This kid is hilarious.

Guo Xiang's mood immediately brightened. "You are from Proficient Academy. Do you know Chen Guozhi?"

"Of course, he's my captain." Han Xiao answer

"Then that means you're on the tennis team."

Was that a question or a statement?

"I'm not a mine player." Han Xiao saw what Guo Xiang was thinking and didn't want him to misunderstand

"I know" Guo Xiang smile

"Why is that?" Han Xiao asks he felt like he was being looked down upon

"Proficient mine players would not lower themselves to this level. Follow me, let me sure you what they would have done." Guo Xiang walked to the court and Han Xiao followed him.

What is this guy planning?

Han Xiao didn't know that this person was the Revolution tennis team captain 'Guo Xiang', so he was worried.

He got Han Xiao a spare tennis racket. " We will have a little match, if you win, I will allow you to record, but if you lose, you see that court, .." Guo Xiang points at the last court in the left corner of the field that seems like it hasn't been used for a long time. "You will clean it."

Han Xiao looked at the field for a moment and nodded.

"Let's begin."

Han Xiao served first.

From the beginning of the game to the end, Han Xiao wasn't able to return any of Guo Xiang balls. As a result Guo Xiang won without losing a sweat. He had fun watching Han Xiao playing his best.

"Captain, are you that bored to suffer a kid?" Lan Yan call  

Han Xiao recognized the person that spoke. "Isn't that the assistant captain of Revolution, Lan Yan? Then cap …. Captain?" 

Han Xiao was shocked beyond words.

"Yeah, that's the captain, didn't you know?" Lan Yan ask

If he knew, he wouldn't have accepted the challenge.

Han Xiao could only shake his head.

Guo Xiang, who was laughing so hard, stopped and said seriously to Han Xiao. "Now! A deal is a deal! You lose, I win! The equipment to clean the court is already there, just get to work." 

Han Xiao gritted his teeth in anger and left.

A deal is a deal!

He has to fulfill his part of the deal.

When he was almost there, he heard Guo Xiang's voice behind him: "A spy who reveals himself is not extensively dangerous but especially stupid." Guo Xiang laughed

If you say Han Xiao was angry before, now he is affronted!
