Chapter 12 - The captain is angry

"This is what I want." Hezekiah look at the red and white lines racket with satisfaction

He was done buying, Han Xiao pushed the shopping cart while they waited for Li Mei's text.

In less than a minute, Li Mei texted Hezekiah saying she was done and was waiting for them at the cashier. 

"Let's go," Hezekiah said to Han Xiao 

[System, is the Male lead still here?] Hezekiah asked 

[The Male lead is nearby.]

[How far is him?]

[The Male lead is 7 meters away. ]

Forget it. Maybe I've seen him but didn't know he's the Male Lead.

...

The things Li Mei brought were not too many but the total was in the 20.000s.

"What? Twenty thousand?!" Han Xiao streamed when he saw the amount of money.

Hezekiah and Li Mei look at him at the same time 

Li Mei didn't think much about it. She said with a smile, "Han Xiao, I hope you don't mind."

Han Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said lightly, "I can only follow the host. The host doesn't mind. What do I mind? I don't have the qualification to interfere." 

Li Mei understands what Han Xiao means. She didn't say anything and just looked up at Hezekiah. "Zhou Jiang?..."

"It's okay, I can afford it. " Hezekiah smiled 

Han Xiao and Hezekiah's things were a total of 16,000. 

Finally, it was over.

They walk out of the mall.

Li Mei Expresses her gratitude to Hezekiah before leaving in a taxi. 

[Ding, Ding, Ding, Congratulations to the host. The female lead affability level increased by 20, current affability level is 35.

Hezekiah was about to say something but he heard the system sound again. 

[Ding, Ding, Ding, Condensations to the host. The Male lead affability increased by 10, the current affability level is 30.]

Wait, what?

The Male lead?

But I haven't even seen him. How can his affability increase?

Or is it because of the female lead?

Hezekiah was confused. He looked around but didn't see anyone paying attention to him.

"Let's go." He smiled and said to Han Xiao. 

Before they leave, Han Xiao looks at the name of the mall and tries to find his own definition. 

Heaven = because they have good materials. 

Spicy = although their stuff is good, they are all expensive. 

Spicy Heaven is a place for the rich. 

He won't dare to come here unless he has a lot of money. 

Han Xiao was determined 

💮💮💮

The next day.

On the tennis courts

"Today's training session will be watched by the captain." Bao Lei said as he watched his companions who were not into training today.

"I have to rest for a while. I'm so exhausted. I also have a lot of assignments." Su Pang grumble

"I'm constantly vulnerable at this time of the month." Bai Lan said it as a joke, but he didn't expect Zhong Chao to retort him.

"Are you a woman to have a special time every month?" Zhong Chao looked at Bai Lan with a mocking smile.

"It has nothing to do with you." Bai Lan snorted 

"Enough! We should practice now in case the captain gets mad." Bao Lei reminded them again 

"But the captain is not here yet. Can't we rest today?" Su Pang was not satisfy

Although the others didn't talk, they were not in the mood to practice today.

What they did not know was that Chen Guozhi was watching their every move through the cc camera.

Hezekiah, who knew about the camera, kept silent as he practiced alone because Han Xiao was not there.

💮💮💮

After three hours of practice, Chen Guozhi came on the field. His expression wasn't good, to begin with.

"Everyone, gather around!"

They immediately form two lines.

Chen Guozhi who was looking at the team had a cold look in his eyes, making the players tremble in fear and not dare to breathe out. 

They look at each other in private and then at each other. They were in a mess and their spirit had long gone. 

"What should I do now? What should I do?" Mu Elan asks nervously 

"Aren't you a senior? You have been with the captain longer than I have. You tell me!" Su Pang next to him retorted 

"This is not the time guys, focus!"

"That's right, the captain seems to be angry this time."

They were reflecting on themselves. 

Damn! He was not in practice for a few days and they began a mess. 

Chen Guozhi's eyes suddenly became trifling. "Recently, I have not been around. Many things are going on now. You should remember the purpose of your everyday training and your reason for wanting to participate in this year's competition.  "All of you, run ten laps!" His voice was filled with oppression. 

"Yes, yes  …" "Got it."

"Yes, … yes."

The players were startled and couldn't respond properly.  Some of them broke into a cold sweat. 

[It's really trifling when the Male lead gets angry] The system complains 

[Isn't he the one you want me to take down?] Hezekiah snorted, but he had an unhappy look on his face.

[What's wrong? Why do you look unhappy?"] The system asked curiously 

[Do you have any idea on how to take down the Male lead? The high school tennis tournament will soon begin, and I have to finish the mission at the end of the tournament. I can handle the female lead, but the Male lead…] 

[Host, don't worry, I will think of a way.] The system was determined 

Everyone was done running and was wiping their sweat off. Only Hezekiah didn't have a bit of sweat on him. 

"Joiner brother Jiang, why are you the only one who didn't sweat?" Su Pang suddenly asked, successfully grabbing everyone's attention. 

"It's just ten laps, no big deal." Hezekiah smiled innocently 

What do you mean ten laps, no big deal? Your grandpa is still trying to catch his breath.

This was their inner thought 

But looking at Hezekiah's innocent slime, no one could say it out loud. 

"The … the captain said you … you should meet him ... in … in the club room when you're … you're done running. Don't keep him waiting. " Han Xiao took running from the office, when he saw the mine players, he had a sigh of relief and began to deliver the message while catching his breath. 

"We got it. Thank you." Bao Lei said, trying to calm Han Xiao down. 

This kid is probably scared. Chen Guozhi must have frightened him. I wonder why he's so worked up today?

Bao Lei sighed 

Hezekiah looked at the back of the people that were going to the club room with a puzzled expression. 

Should I follow?

Maybe I should wait here. 

No, that won't do, I'm also a mine player. 

In the end, he chose to follow.
