CHAPTER 36: CHAPTER 36 ZHAO YIFEI: IS IT SO HARD JUST TO SHOW OFF?

In the evening, Yu Jianhua returned home.

Lin Yajing had already arrived home earlier, but Yu Xinyan wasn’t back yet.

"That kid actually acted heroically!"

Yu Jianhua said.

"Xu Lin?"

Lin Yajing was curious because the ’that kid’ or ’little rascal’ her husband referred to was always Xu Lin.

Yu Jianhua nodded and said, "Check your phone for the city’s trending topics. The one about a brave boy saving people is Xu Lin."

"Let me see."

Lin Yajing opened the short video app, clicked on the city’s trending topics, and saw that the top trend was indeed about this.

Then Lin Yajing clicked on the trending topic and saw Xu Lin rushing to the burning and smoking car to save people.

"Xu Lin, is he really this brave?"

Lin Yajing was surprised.

Although she didn’t say it, Lin Yajing usually felt Xu Lin wasn’t very reliable, but she didn’t expect him to dare rush up to save others in such a situation.

It’s not like helping an old lady cross the street where you just need a hand; this is genuinely risking one’s life to save others, something that could easily risk one’s own life!

Yu Jianhua: "I didn’t expect that kid to be so brave either. I need to ask the Jiangbei District Branch to give him a commendation for his heroism!"

Lin Yajing said, "He indeed deserves a commendation, but it was so dangerous at that time. He had just rescued the people, and the car exploded shortly after. A little slower and it could have been a disaster!"

Ten minutes later.

Yu Xinyan also came back.

"Dad, Mom, I’m back!"

Yu Xinyan was very excited and said to Lin Yajing, "Mom, Xu Lin acted heroically today!"

"I know, silly!"

Lin Yajing said with a smile.

Yu Xinyan: "Xu Lin was super brave then!"

She was energetic, vividly describing the situation at the time.

Meanwhile.

Xu Lin also got home.

For him, today’s rescue felt nothing special.

After returning, he went back to his normal routine.

Yeah.

Fitness!

He hadn’t exercised today yet!

Then there’s the class group chat.

After a week of silence, Zhao Yifei made an appearance again. As he mentioned in his previous moments, he would work quietly, stunning time, and shutting some mouths.

And so, Zhao Yifei spent the entire week in the gym working out, staying there for several hours each day.

After a week, for instance, his abs were already somewhat defined.

At the moment, he took a shirtless photo in front of the gym mirror, showing sweat on his upper body, with evident signs of training, and clearly looking impressive.

Zhao Yifei posted the photo in the group chat and said: "A week’s results, of course, this is nothing. I just want to say, since others can, I, Zhao Yifei, can too, and this is just the beginning!"

Zhao Yifei: "By the time I go to college, I’ll have a perfect physique!"

Zhao Yifei: "Mark my words! You can all keep an eye on me! As class monitor, I can lead by example!"

"Wow, the monitor’s training marks, amazing! Handsome!"

"Not bad, not bad, looking sharp. I believe the monitor will soon have a great physique!"

"I looked at my belly, damn, I need to exercise too! The monitor sure deserves to be our class idol!"

Zhao Yifei felt increasingly good seeing everyone’s praises.

Zhao Yifei didn’t forget to act modestly, "No need to call me an idol or role model; this really is nothing. Nothing is too difficult in the world if you are willing to climb. There’s nothing we can’t achieve!"

"The monitor is right!"

"Nothing is too difficult if you are willing to climb! Go for it!"

While seeing everyone’s comments, Zhao Yifei was eager to see a message from Yu Xinyan.

But there wasn’t any.

So Zhao Yifei posted a few more photos in different poses, all showcasing his physique.

Yet still, no message from Yu Xinyan.

Zhao Yifei was pretty much accustomed to it.

But Zhao Yifei wasn’t idle; he still had to exact revenge.

So he promptly @Lei Haolong: "What about you, Lei Haolong? Weren’t you planning to work out? Why the silence?"

Lei Haolong: "Sorry, monitor, I’m not capable. I’d rather sleep well; my bed is so comfortable."

Zhao Yifei: ...

He actually expected Lei Haolong to put up a tough front, but didn’t expect Lei Haolong to admit defeat right away, making Zhao Yifei feel like, I was all geared up and pumped, but the opponent’s like cotton, no matter how strong you punch, it’s useless!

Zhao Yifei: "People who lack persistence and determination are ultimately mediocre and can’t truly succeed. Being mediocre all their life, just thinking about it is scary!"

"I’d rather be a mediocre person!"

Lei Haolong remained unfazed.

Zhao Yifei: ...

This fool!

Can’t he just come out and argue a bit? I’m fiercely attacking here, and you just lay down? What’s that supposed to mean?

Not a bit of fighting spirit!

Zhao Yifei: "What about Xu Lin? Isn’t he into working out too? Why haven’t we heard from him for so long?"

Xu Lin, although your physique is better than mine now, what about in a month, in two months?

My excellence, Zhao Yifei’s, is multidimensional and multifaceted.

My future physique, my current genuine top student grades, and superior virtues, not to mention all the inevitable stellar achievements in college!

What do you have other than a good physique?

Zhao Yifei thought about it excitedly.

However, Xu Lin wasn’t really bothered about the class group chat. His last comment was several days ago; throughout three years of high school, he hardly spoke in the class group.

Lei Haolong: "My buddy, he’s trending number one in the city now!"

Zhao Yifei hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"

Lei Haolong: "Yeah, Xu Lin is trending number one. Monitor, check out my buddy’s courageous deeds today!"

Involving Xu Lin, Yu Xinyan also chimed in.

Yu Xinyan said, "Xu Lin acted heroically today! Super brave!"

Yu Xinyan also said, "Xu Lin is on the trending list now!"

What’s the situation?

Everyone was puzzled.

Maybe Lei Haolong was bragging unreliably.

But Yu Xinyan wouldn’t lie, would she?

Everyone started asking around, and then Yu Xinyan said to check the short video’s number one city trend.

Everyone flocked to it, clicked the city trending number one, which was actually the nineteenth on the national trend.

Then, everyone saw Xu Lin bravely rushing out to save people, risking his life.

This city-first trending topic had risen to the nineteenth on the national list, and many people nationwide had seen it.

"Wow! Is Xu Lin really this amazing? This is heroism!"

"Watching the video felt intense, just after saving people, the car exploded!"

"If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t dare go up!"

"Xu Lin turned out to be so brave!"

The class group chat came alive again.

The class teacher also stepped in at this moment, sending a thumbs-up emoji.

The class teacher commented, "This is what Xu Lin did today! Strong.jpg×3"

Yu Xinyan: "Xu Lin is the bravest!"

Lei Haolong: "My buddy’s awesome, right? Monitor, say something!"

Lei Haolong didn’t forget Zhao Yifei, so he @Zhao Yifei again.

Zhao Yifei also watched the video and was in disbelief.

That Xu Lin guy, daring to act heroically?

Zhao Yifei felt it should be him doing such things.

But he couldn’t accept Xu Lin being the hero!

Originally, his fitness today had shown some progress, hoping to show off in the group, shine a bit, and put down Lei Haolong and Xu Lin.

But then, Xu Lin unexpectedly stole the show with an act of heroism.

Zhao Yifei was extremely frustrated.

Why is it so hard for me to play cool?

Why does every time I try to show off, Xu Lin ends up overshadowing me?

Zhao Yifei was truly haunted by Xu Lin.
