I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping

Chapter 2427 - 1534: Sands of Sha City_2

Fang Qing dodged away.

Tong Dan was relentless.

So Fang Qing ran towards the soccer field.

Tong Dan continued to chase, but unfortunately she was wearing high heels. She twisted her ankle after just a few steps, almost tripping, and had to give up, then began to complain aggrievedly.

"Jiang Chen bullies me, and now you do too!"

Fang Qing stopped, turned around, and maintained a safe distance.

"Who told you to wear high heels? Why not wear flats during your breaks?"

"Because I like wearing high heels."

Tong Dan replied matter-of-factly before walking over here.

Fang Qing stepped back.

Tong Dan was both laughing and crying.

"Truce. I won’t mess with you."

Fang Qing stopped.

But speaking of it, after the mention, Tong Dan really started to feel uncomfortable in her high heels, so she bent over to take off her white-strapped high heels, and walked barefoot on the grass carrying them.

"Let’s sit for a bit and rest."

She went over to Fang Qing, sat down first, and placed her shoes to one side.

Fang Qing sat down as well, unlike Tong Dan who sat cross-legged, she kept her knees bent.

The gentle wind blew through their hair.

"Time really flies."

Tong Dan sighed. "Back then, each class was only 45 minutes long, yet it felt longer than an entire day now. But looking back now, so many years have passed in a blink."

She muttered to herself, talking on her own.

"But honestly, if given a chance, I wouldn’t want to go back. Just think of all those endless assignments and tests every few days..."

Tong Dan said, turning her head slightly, "Do you know, even now, I often dream of being back in the college entrance exam hall; that feeling is just too terrifying."

"If you could really go back, you wouldn’t need to study so hard."

Qing Gege is always Qing Gege, never overly sentimental, always so rational and clear-headed.

"Tell your family to buy several houses, or invest in virtual currency, or put a large amount into gold, and you could have a carefree youth."

Tong Dan laughed, "Why don’t you just say buy lottery tickets?"

"Lotteries won’t work."

Fang Qing’s voice was gentle, "Even if you remember the lottery numbers, go back in time and place your bets, the numbers that come out will change."

Tong Dan chuckled softly.

Yeah.

Lottery numbers aren’t set in stone.

Even if someone should play scissors, when they see you playing rock, wouldn’t they change to paper on the spot?

What is this called?

This is called history’s correction.

A time traveler going back with grand ambitions and foresight to change the world might end up getting slapped silly by the laws of the universe.

"Qing Gege, you’re always so rational, isn’t that tiring?"

Fang Qing hugged her knees, "Is anyone not tired?"

Tong Dan turned her head and found a certain someone on the basketball court.

That guy, indeed full of energy, already mingling and fully immersed with a bunch of middle-aged men.

No kidding.

Tong Dan watched for a moment, and saw him block the ball of an attacking player in a completely overbearing manner, with no understanding of respect for the old and care for the young.

"He doesn’t get tired; he’s too carefree."

Fang Qing pursed her lips, "If you really became him, you wouldn’t feel tired either."

"Pfft～"

Tong Dan scoffed, "He’s got so much money. What could he not buy? Plus, there are so many women around him..."

Realizing she said something wrong, Tong Dan immediately stopped, awkwardly wanting to salvage the situation but not knowing where to start.

Well.

What she said was actually the truth.

She believed Qing Gege had to know.

"That’s how the world is built. You said it, he’s so rich, so accomplished; if he didn’t have women surrounding him, that wouldn’t make sense."

Tong Dan was speechless.

Isn’t this rationality a bit too much?

But.

It’s probably also a way of self-comfort and numbing,

"Yeah, it’s quite normal. This society is just like that, the strong dominate all, no different from the animal kingdom. When I was a flight attendant, I once served a VIP, you know what a VIP is? It’s someone within the system whose identity needs to be confidential. They have many wives and concubines, almost comparable to an emperor. Jiang Chen is actually quite restrained. Compared to his peers in the same class, he has much more conscience."

Fang Qing was surprised and turned to smile, "You actually speak for him?"

"I don’t speak for anyone, nor do I badmouth anyone. I only state objective facts."

Tong Dan said with righteous integrity.

"He’s such a big boss, yet when he returns to Sha City he still gives cigarettes to the security guards? Anyone else would make sure the principal personally received them. And he can joke around and shoot the breeze with someone like me? This guy really doesn’t put on airs at all."

Criticize as she may.

It seems that Tong Dan is quite clear about the goodness of Jiang Chen in her heart.

Or perhaps she really is clever and knows the best way to get along with the other party,

"Honestly, I really admire him. He’s not a second-generation rich, yet suddenly successful, and didn’t lose himself to desires. If it were me, I couldn’t do it. I probably wouldn’t even have the leisure to return to Sha City High to take a look."

"Maybe he’s just nostalgic."

"Yeah."

Tong Dan nodded, deeply agreeing, "If he and I weren’t alumni from Sha City High, I’m sure he wouldn’t even glance at me."

Saying this, she smiled.

"I have to thank Sha City High School, after all, it wasn’t the college entrance exam that changed my fate, but the experience of studying here. Oh, I should thank you more, Qing Gege. If it weren’t for entering the eleventh class and becoming friends with you, I might have just been an air hostess serving tea and water for life."

"You don’t need to thank anyone. Where you study, who you meet, what experiences you go through, it’s all fate."

Tong Dan was surprised, "Qing Gege, you legal workers aren’t supposed to be materialists."

Fang Qing didn’t comment.

Tong Dan didn’t dwell on it either, settling quietly and peacefully to enjoy the sun and breeze.

"If only time could freeze at this moment."

After expressing this feeling, she put on her shoes.

"Come on, let’s go watch Jiang Chen play ball."

Back in those days, whenever girls watched from the sidelines, the boys would always get hyped as if they’d been injecting adrenaline.

Boss Jiang was no exception. He felt no shame in taking advantage of the youthful "bullying of the weak," making a stylish and handsome move to escape the defender and perform a textbook three-step layup.

In terms of basketball skills, Boss Jiang is definitely no match for Luo Peng, but in competitive sports, your own skills are one thing, the opponent’s strength is also important,

Just look at what age these players on the basketball court are?

The youngest must be over forty, and the oldest is probably close to being a father.

"Swish."

Style isn’t enough, whether the ball goes in is key. Luckily, it wasn’t a failure; the basketball smoothly went into the net.

"Nice shot!"

Tong Dan, knowing her role, naturally understood social nuances. Seeing such a graceful shot just as she arrived courtside, she immediately applauded and cheered, having no shame just like someone enjoying a grand slaughter at this "senior court."

"Not fair. Kick this young man out."

Finally.

Tong Dan’s cheer became a catalyst, stirring up emotions on the court.

Losing is one thing,

But losing without dignity is another.

Someone demanded to kick Jiang Chen out.

"Old Min, you agreed to let this young man join, now what? Can’t beat him so you want to kick him out?"

Kick him out? Why not?

The reason for agreeing was due to a lack of people and assuming the young man would know some manners.

But later found out it was a big mistake.

This kid seemed harmless, kind and simple, but clearly didn’t understand the concept of respect for elders, and almost knocked him over several times.

Aren’t you afraid he might play dirty?

That wasn’t all, on the court, giving your all is fair, but it seemed this kid targeted him specifically, charging at him with the ball, and when he had the ball, he’d immediately defend, full of energy.

Who wouldn’t have feelings in such a situation?

Moreover, as the Discipline Director, being at Sha City High for half his life, he has to maintain his dignity.

"The two of them together aren’t bigger than me, what’s the point of playing, kick him out and reorganize the team."

Old Min, without further ado, adjusted his glasses and insisted on kicking Jiang Chen out.

"At least finish this game, can’t you stand losing?"

Tong Dan, clear about social ties, saw the other side playing elder and immediately began to stand up for Jiang Chen.

The fully engaged Jiang Chen’s expression was strange, unsure if he hadn’t expected Tong Dan to stand up for him, or was he just moved?

Old Min turned dissatisfiedly, about to speak, but suddenly felt the two beauties standing courtside looked familiar?

He furrowed his brows tighter, looked at Fang Qing, then at Tong Dan, eyes showing contemplation, and then uncertainly and tentatively spoke up.

"Fang Qing? Tong Dan?"
