The warm-up began, the five boys took their darts and took turns to throw at the three dartboards. The sound of applause from below the stage came like a tide, although they didn’t know very much, seeing them playing in such a fancy manner was interesting.
Ye Jian was observing from the side; she slowly fumbled around once she was used to it, she could tell Wang Jin and the others were really professional at darts, their professionalism could be seen from their expressions.
“What are your classmates playing? Their applause is so loud, and they are even praising,” The adults at the next hall could hear their applause from outside, Bureau Chief Yang smiled and asked his son who was accompanying the adults, “Why don’t we go over and have a look? We’ll come back after watching.”
A wall separated both halls, there was a door at the middle separated by a cloverleaf screen. The noises and laughter of the students naturally passed through the door and entered the ears of the adults.
Yang Heng smiled and said: “A few boys from my class play darts; they should be competing with Ye Jian. It’s fine if you wish to have a look.”
“Then let’s have a look,” Bureau Chief Yang stood up, he laughed as he said something to his good friends and family, the three tables of adults said they too wanted to take a look.
A professional looking girl in a dark suit said: “It’s said that there are a group of students from Heng Heng’s class who could study and dance, I want to have a look and widen my horizons.”
“Aunt Song, are you teasing us, students? Is there anything that could widen your horizons?” Yao Jing who had always been accompanying the adults stood up, she smiled cheekily: “It’s fine as long as you don’t find it boring when you see it.”
Yang Heng’s mother did not like to hear such words; she said to her younger sister: “Lass Jing is sometimes a killjoy when she speaks, Heng Heng’s classmates purposely came over to celebrate with him, regardless of whether it’s good or bad, it’s their thought that counts.”
“Elder sister, you’re really calculative towards a child,” The woman was Yang Heng’s aunt, the hotel’s operator, she covered the cost inclusive meals on this day, there was no need for Bureau Chief Yang to fork out a single cent.
When they came over, Wang Jin happened to be holding a dart in each hand and stood in between two dartboards, after several attempts, he threw both darts at the same time.
“Not bad, he even knows how to play fancy moves; such a game is entertaining and relaxing; it even makes others concentrate.”
“The students from experimental classes really play differently. They play games that are beneficial to them.”
They were all relatives and friends; there was no need to pay attention to such words. Only Yang Heng and Yao Jing among them were studying in high school. Yao Jing’s expression changed when she heard the word ‘experimental classes’; she was not good at studying and would really lose face if she was in an experimental class.
The person who spoke was Yang Heng’s mother, even if she was feeling uncomfortable listening to it, she couldn’t answer back.
She narrowed her eyes and said: “That’s why Yang Heng is amazing, he’s amazing in studies, he’s also amazing in basketball.”
“Eh, Heng Heng, isn’t the girl on top, Ye Jian? She also knows how to play?” Yang Heng’s mother did not seem to have heard Yao Jing’s words, her focus was on the stage, “This young lady couldn’t be proficient in all kinds of arts, right? She’s top in her studies, and she even knows how to play darts which boys only like.”
Yang Heng, who was standing in between the old folks, replied: “She doesn’t, the boys in my class feel that she’s amazing and wants to play with her.”
With Yao Jing present, Yang Heng did not wish to mention much about Ye Jian; his tone was indifferent; it didn’t seem unusual.
