Although they were criticizing Qin Yiran, the three roommates still felt a little worried for Shi Yao. As the announcer called out the names of those participating in the Women’s 10km Marathon, the trio was still frantically advising Shi Yao on what to do.
Jiang Yue: “Yaoyao, you had no choice but to join this competition, so remember that winning or losing isn’t really important. What’s more important is your safety. If you find that you can’t continue, then don’t force yourself!”
He Tiantian nodded vigorously in agreement, “Right right right! Yaoyao, if you can’t run anymore, it’s always fine to stop. Even if people mock you for it, just know that you’ll always have us on your side.”
Leng Nuan also grabbed Shi Yao’s hands and said, “Even if you give up halfway for the marathon, I’ll still buy a month’s worth of potato chips for you.”
It would be a lie if Shi Yao said that she wasn’t touched by their words, but now wasn’t the time to get sentimental. She smiled consolingly at her three roommates and said, “Alright, I’m no longer a child. I know my limits, so you really don’t have to worry.”
After saying that, Shi Yao walked down the stairs and headed to the track field below to assemble at the starting line.
Shi Yao’s arrival had made Qin Yiran’s expression falter, but a very short instant later, she flashed a brilliant smile reminiscent of a beautiful flower blooming under the majesty of the sun.
It was hard to make out what she said to the two girls beside her, but they stopped massaging her and retreated several steps back. Then, Qin Yiran began to do a set of stretching warm-ups.
However, her stretching was far more beautiful than that of others. Her posture was so elegant that it looked like she was dancing. This was especially so when she did a vertical split. The surrounding crowd cheered wildly at the sight.
Despite seeing this scene, Shi Yao’s expression remained calm as if it had nothing to do with her. She obediently followed the physical education teacher’s instructions and lightly rubbed her thighs and jogged on the spot, relaxing her muscles.
Qin Yiran shot a glance at Shi Yao’s unimpressive warm-up, and a disdainful smile lifted her lips.
…
Lin Jiage sat beneath the cool shade. With his earphones on, he played on his phone without paying any attention to his surroundings.
Beside him was Xia Shangzhou, who was drowsily propping his head up with one hand.
On the other side, Lu Benlai was scanning the student populace with his binoculars, muttering, “This is really weird. I’ve been searching for my future wife for nearly the entire afternoon now, but why is she nowhere to be seen?”
Xia Shangzhou opened his eyes and shot Lu Benlai a disdainful glance, “Do you have any sense of shame? Future wife? It’s already doubtful whether she can even remember your name!”
Lu Benlai put down his binoculars and asked, “Is this any of your business? No one would take you for a mute if you stayed quiet.”
Xia Shangzhou: “I’m just talking to myself, is that any of your business?”
Lu Benlai: “Bullshit! You call that talking to yourself?”
Xia Shangzhou: “You sure have a lot to say… Ah? Did I hear wrong just now? I think I heard someone calling Little Junior’s name…”
Lu Benlai was just about to argue back when he heard those words. He focused all of his attention on the announcer’s voice, and a moment later, his jaw nearly fell to the ground from shock. “It really is Little Junior’s name! And she’s participating in the Women’s 10km Marathon?”
Xia Shangzhou turned to Lin Jiage and exclaimed, “Boss, did you hear that? Little Junior is joining the 10km marathon!”
Lin Jiage lazily glanced at the duo making a big fuss out of nothing before turning his eyes back to his phone. He confidently replied, “It can’t be her. It must be someone else with the same name.”
