Chapter 27 - Training Camp 1

The Zhou Residents

Hezekiah was working on his computer when he thought about something, he slapped his forehead, great, he almost forgot about the training plan.

"I'll be going to a training camp this evening." 

Madam Zhou who was coming down the steps happens to hear this. She looked at her younger son and sighed, "Is that the reason you didn't go to school today? You should have told me earlier."

"Sorry mother, I forgot." Hezekiah apologize 

"You should be careful and don't push yourself too hard." Madam Zhou advice 

"I'll remember that." He smiles brilliantly 

After she left, Zhou Kang walked to Hezekiah and whispered, "You're still in the mood for games? Do you, really not want the family business?"

"What? Are you not afraid that I'll be a threat to your position?" Hezekiah asked in amazement 

"You dare?! Hahaha, that depends. It would be good as long as you stay away from things that concern me. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Hezekiah's expression changed, "Are you threatening me?" 

Zhou Kang, "Call it whatever you like. I know you have the talent, but don't step over the line. I will be watching carefully."

Hezekiah, "Oh." 

Zhou Kang, "I can see you're extremely close to Chen Guo Zhi. Is it the relationship between teammates or something else? You are too bold, Zhou Jiang!"

Speaking of which, this was the first time Zhou Kang took the initiative to talk to Hezekiah but the conversation was this! 

Zhou Kang spoke a lot of words to Hezekiah in this manner. Although he said some words without any ill intentions, Hezekiah did not want to hear them, or rather, he said them in response to Hezekiah's words.

Started with a few more sentences, until the end was all "mm" "got it" and some more "mm". This kind of answer made Zhou Kang's liver hurt, and his expression slowly darkened as well. 

He thought to himself, this Zhou Jiang, really doesn't care about face at all, he actually dares to take such a perfunctory attitude when talking to him in such a condescending manner.

Just as Zhou Kang was about to erupt, Hezekiah's phone rang.

The Proficient Academy 

"Zhou Jiang, Here! Sit next to me. I've been waiting for you. " Han Xiao called and pointed to the seat next to him. 

"Han Xiao? Why are you here?" Hezekiah asked 

Han Xiao, "We are going to a training camp, of course, I'll be here. By the way, Do you bring any snacks?"

Hezekiah shook his head, "No, I don't,  there's still three more minutes before we leave, I'll order them now. "

Han Xiao, "You're still the best."

Hezekiah looked around the bus,  but couldn't find the familiar figure.

"Junior brother Jiang, are you looking for the captain?" Su Pang who was at the back shouted attracting everyone's attention 

Hezekiah nodded, "Where's the captain?"

Instead of answering, Su Pang had a sigh of relief, "I'm glad you two  have made up."

Hezekiah was confused, did they fought without him knowing?

That couldn't be, right?

Two minutes later, the snacks arrived. "I have a lot of snacks here, everyone's welcome. " Hezekiah  Offers

"Sure, I'll have some. Maybe this is to compensate for our hard work. " Bai Lan was the first to go over. There were a lot of snacks with different kinds and flavors. "Wow, my favorite snacks are all here, this trip is gonna be great! Su Pang comes and takes a look."

Su Pang came over, he was delighted to see those snacks he wanted, "Junior brother Jiang, I've forgiven you because of these snacks."

Now Hezekiah was even more confused, just what happened during his absence? Everyone is so worked up about it. 

The snacks bag was placed in the middle of the bus so everyone could have access to it. 

"Han Xiao, how was the training during my absence?" Hezekiah asked 

Han Xiao choked on the drink that was in his mouth and coughed violently, "Do not mention that! … Why were you absent by the way?" 

Hezekiah, "Me? I was hospitalized." 

"Oh, I see. The past practice was torture! Even I got goosebumps when I think about it. the captain was like ... "

He wanted to continue but suddenly stopped, Chen Guo Zhi walked past him and sat at the window, next to Hezekiah. 

The air in the area immediately froze! Han Xiao shivers uncontrollably 

"Junior brother Xiao, come over here, I got something for you." Su Pang saw the situation and called 

Han Xiao quickly picks his stuff and hurries over, afraid that if he's one step late, it'll be a disaster.

"There's an empty seat, you can sit there."

Han Xiao said gratefully, "Thank you."

"Don't worry about it, as your senior, it's my responsibility to save you in times like this!" Su Pang said proudly 

Bao Lei sitting at the front turned around and smiled at Chen Guo Zhi meaningfully.

Hezekiah looks at Han Xiao's empty seat in a daze. He couldn't believe Han Xiao was this fast. "Why did he leave?" 

Chen Guo Zhi didn't care, "Isn't it better this way? And you! Are you okay now? 

Hezekiah nodded, "Yeah, I'm fine, no need to worry. Would you like a drink?"

Chen Guo Zhi, "Sure, which flavors?"

"Mango and coconut. The coconut juice is mind, you can't have it." Hezekiah passes the mango juice to Chen Guo Zhi, but the elder reaches behind him and takes the coconut juice away. 

"I said you can't have that, isn't mango your favorite?" Hezekiah wanted to take the bottle back but Chen Guo Zhi was faster. 

"How do you know it's my favorite? I can't remember telling you that." Chen Guo Zhi tease

He tries so hard but didn't make any progress, Chen Guo Zhi cast him a daring glance, which makes Hezekiah angry, he got up from his seat, while reaching over, the bus suddenly stopped because of the red light, Hezekiah lost his balance and fell on Chen Guo Zhi.

He felt his lips press on something soft, Hezekiah's eyes widened in disbelief! 

He wasn't the only one who was dumbfounded, The others who happen to look over,  open their mouths in astonishment. 

Chen Guo Zhi took the opportunity when Hezekiah was distracted, he bends his head and deepens the kiss. 

After Chen Guo Zhi released him, Hezekiah was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to lift his head. 

Bao Lei gives his friend a thumbs up for being a quick reactor and taking advantage of the situation.

Su Pang still couldn't believe what he saw. He glanced at Bai Lan who was also looking at him, the two saw the understanding in each other's eyes and laughed at the same time.

As for Hezekiah, he lay his head on Chen Guo Zhi's lap and refused to get up, pretending to be asleep.

Chen Guo Zhi looked at the person who was hiding from embarrassment and shook his head helplessly. He gently started running his fingers through Hezekiah's hair, which made Hezekiah let out a comfortable sigh, Chen Guo Zhi chuckled and lifted Hezekiah's hair exposing his smooth neck. 

The rest of the journey was peaceful.
