Chapter 50 Protect yourself(1/2)
"Classmate Jin Zhuangzhuang, is it your true intention to join the school basketball team?"
After Mrs. Jin left, Mark looked at Jin Zhuangzhuang and asked.
"Teacher Ma, I want to join."
Jin Zhuangzhuang's answer didn't seem forced.
"Can you tell the teacher why? How did you suddenly come up with this idea? When the school team was selected, I don't remember you coming to participate?"
Some time ago, this little fat guy was used to acting bad, but suddenly he became active. There must be some reason.
If you are really a basketball fan, you will participate in the selection of the basketball team.
When Jin Zhuangzhuang was in physical education class, he was unwilling to play basketball. This change was very sudden.
"Teacher Ma, can you not tell me?" The little fat man looked at Mark with a troubled face.
"Of course. But if you don't give me a proper reason, I really can't let you join the basketball team. The others were all selected through layers of selection. You joining so suddenly will make other students think.
Is the system a complete child’s play?”
Although whether a student can join the school team or not is a matter of Mark's words, he cannot be put in easily, otherwise the school team will be overstaffed.
"My dream is to be a professional basketball player."
Jin Zhuangzhuang held it in for a long time before he came up with an empty slogan.
"What are you talking about? How can professional athletes start practicing at this age? They all start practicing basic skills when they are five or six years old. If you really have this idea, I advise you to give up immediately. This is not a dream, you are just wishful thinking."
Mark scolded Jin Zhuangzhuang that such false and empty reasons are just plain deceptive.
I started practicing basketball when I was fifteen or sixteen and wanted to become a professional.
First of all, you must have historical talent, and then you must have been engaged in other sports since childhood, and maintain and exercise your basic physical fitness.
Jin Zhuangzhuang can turn himself into a little fat man because of his laziness. Even a fool can see that Jin Zhuangzhuang has nothing to do with these two points.
"Teacher Ma, I really want to join the basketball team."
"Then I'll give you a chance to reorganize your language."
"The most popular thing in the school right now is the basketball team, which many people like...so I want to join..."
"Okay, I know what you mean. The teacher still wants to say something ugly. With your basketball foundation, even if you are allowed to join the basketball team as an exception, you will not be able to compete with others and play in the game.
But during training, the main players and substitutes have the same amount of training, or even more. You have to watch how they practice and think carefully about whether you want to join them."
Although Jin Zhuangzhuang struggled to explain.
But Mark still understood Jin Zhuangzhuang's original intention. Regardless of age, men are most likely to change because of women.
Mark also experienced his school days and knew how attractive basketball team members are to female classmates, especially when the basketball team performs well in competitions.
Jin Zhuangzhuang wants to join the basketball team because he wants to take advantage of the team's good performance to be in the limelight and attract the attention of some female classmates.
It was human nature, but Mark still politely rejected Jin Zhuangzhuang. There were too many classmates who had the same idea as Jin Zhuangzhuang, and this reason was not enough for Mark to make an exception.
"Teacher Ma, how is your chat with Zhuang Zhuang going? When can Zhuang Zhuang, our family, participate in training with the basketball team?"
They just went to the school supermarket to buy a few bottles of water. Mrs. Jin came back very quickly. After giving Mark the water, she asked anxiously.
"Sorry, Mrs. Jin, I think Zhuangzhuang is not ready to join the basketball team yet. If you really want him to join, you can ask Jin Zhuangzhuang to work harder this year and then participate in the collective selection of the school team next year.
"
Mark glanced at Jin Zhuangzhuang, who was silent when hearing difficulties, and replied to Mrs. Jin.
"Why?"
"Let me put it bluntly, student Jin Zhuangzhuang has had little exposure to basketball. Even if he joins the school team, he cannot participate in the competition. So if he joins the basketball team and can't even keep up with the training, it actually doesn't make sense."
"Teacher Ma, Zhuang Zhuang's foundation is relatively poor. Can't we make up more lessons? Teacher Ma, please give Zhuang Zhuang more guidance. We are just like extracurricular tutoring for other subjects. We will calculate the tuition fees as we should."
Mrs. Jin started throwing coins, and she looked like a person who was not short of money.
In fact, this woman is indeed quite rich, and she can have a few small goals.
"Mrs. Jin, as you can see, the school team now has many games and trainings, and I don't have much time at all. It's not that I don't want to teach Zhuang Zhuang, but I really don't have the time. If you want to teach Zhuang Zhuang some basketball basics,
, you can find professional training institutions outside, they are not bad either.”
Mark is very satisfied with his current status and is not prepared to add any extra work to himself.
"Teacher Ma, I don't understand this either. I'll treat you to a meal and let's talk in detail."
Mrs. Jin looked at Mark with burning eyes and invited.
"It's not necessary to eat. I don't understand these things. I'm just a physical education teacher in school, so I don't know anything about things outside of school."
Normally, teachers who are the main subjects would be invited to dinner by their parents, and they would communicate with each other with sugar-coated emotions. I never thought that this kind of thing could happen to Mark.
"It doesn't matter if you have a meal. At least you are engaged in this field. You know more than a woman like me. Give us a chance to consult you."
Mrs. Jin stretched out her hand to grab Mark.
"If you really want to know more about this, you'd better ask Zhuang Zhuang to ask other students, or ask other parents. Some of them are participating in training outside and know more about these related matters."
Mark hid away. The more they talked, the clearer Mark could see.
Jin Zhuangzhuang doesn't seem to be so insistent on whether to join the basketball team.
But Mrs. Jin was very insistent on having more contact with Mark.
Even a middle-aged man should protect himself when going out.
Ever since the news of Mark's divorce spread, there have been women everywhere trying to make plans for Mark.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Even if Mark already has a girlfriend, it will not affect other women thinking about Mark.
In the eyes of others, Mark and Wang Xiaomi are an unreliable couple who will break up after playing together for a while.
Therefore, even if many middle-aged women see that Mark has a girlfriend, they still think they have a chance.
"Second uncle, there will be a reunion of our classmates in a few days. Do you want to attend it together?"
In order to avoid too many people harassing him, Mark did not pick up Wang Xiaomi for several days.
They always asked Wang Xiaomi to wait for Mark at the school gate, and also allowed Wang Xiaomi to show his face a little, hoping that others could retreat in spite of the difficulties.
"It's not necessary for me to go to a class reunion with you. You young people are taking me with you. If you can't eat well or have fun, it's not suitable."
Mark took Wang Xiaomi to a friend's gathering, which was a way of showing off.
But when Wang Xiaomi took Mark to meet friends, he basically received little positive feedback and little emotional value.
Whether Mark is handsome or not, whether he is a good person, whether he is rich or not, unless it reaches a certain level, the age gap cannot be offset.
"How can it be bad? They are all very good people."
Mark didn't quite believe Wang Xiaomi's words. In Wang Xiaomi's eyes, there were basically no bad people.
"People are definitely good people, but not necessarily to me."
If he is really a good person, just like the two people in the pet shop, if he really regards Wang Xiaomi as one of his own, he will not be optimistic about Mark.
"What's wrong."
"Have you forgotten that when you went to a party with me, my granddaughter-in-law was so weird? If I go to a party with you, the words I hear will only be even worse."
"No, they all want to see you."
"Have you told anyone about us?"
When Mark was promoting Wang Xiaomi to his side, Wang Xiaomi was not idle either.
"I told you, let's fall in love openly, can't we just say it?"
"I haven't said you can't say it, but if you say it, you may not get all the blessings."
In fact, Mark wanted to say that he might not be blessed.
"Isn't it just that you are a little older than me? My classmates can accept it, and you won't be the same as your colleagues and their families."
"Are you young people so enlightened now?"
Mark still has doubts.
"How about it? Do you want to go? Our party has a student theme and everyone will wear student clothes. Do you want to try it?"
"I'm in school every day. Haven't you seen enough student uniforms? I wear them myself. I don't want to wear them." Mark shook his head.
"Then next time, if the theme is changed next time, will you go?"
People who hang out with Wang Xiaomi do have the same hobbies and like cosplay.
"What's the theme?"
"There are pajamas, games, animations, movies, and all kinds of themes."
"Then when you are the teacher of some subject, I will go with you." Mark said jokingly.
With Wang Xiaomi's repeated invitations, Mark couldn't refuse them so thoroughly, so he didn't say anything.
Mark must meet Wang Xiaomi's classmates and friends sooner or later.
