Chapter 504 Sports Meet

Wen Ni ignored the call, her gaze fixed on the closed dormitory door, still holding her phone, and asked, "Brother Xiao, is there anything else urgent?"

"No, no, it's not a very important matter..."

"In that case, let's talk about it later. My roommate is looking for me."

"Okay, young boss, you go ahead and get busy!"

Hearing Xiao Weilai agree, Wen Ni turned off her phone and put the key to the training building into her pocket.

At the same time, footsteps approached outside the dormitory, and the next second, the door was pushed open from the outside.

"Wen Ni! My sister! The sports meet is about to start, and Coach Xue has been looking for you like crazy. Why are you still sitting here so calmly?" Mu Yang and Ma Weiwei rushed in, grabbed Wen Ni's arm, and dragged her out without saying a word. "Hurry up, hurry up, it'll be too late if we're any later!"

"Slow down, no rush."

"Aren't you worried? Instructor Xue is so anxious she's practically ready to take a whole bottle of nitroglycerin pills!"

"Is it that serious?" Wen Ni asked slowly. "By the way, what's the first event at the sports meet?"

"Women's 1500m!"

"Oh." Wen Ni nodded.

"No way? You don't even know the order of today's competition? My God... Hurry... let's go... we'll talk as we walk!"

Wen Ni, who was taking her time, was dragged straight to the stadium by Mu Yang and the other person, who were in a great hurry.

At this moment, the Huashang University Stadium was bustling with noise!

The circular seating area was almost entirely filled with students.

The loudspeakers above the field were playing the following message on a loop:

"Students from all grades who have registered for the men's and women's 1500-meter races, please hurry up and come down to the podium for inspection!"

On the track, the students who had finished their inspection were warming up.

Some of them knew each other well, so they would get together and chat for a while, and before they knew it, they would form groups.

"Senior Xu Na, your 1500-meter record of just over five minutes is probably unbreakable in the entire Huashang University. Look, knowing you're participating, the number of people signing up for the 1500-meter race is half that of last year! I signed up this time purely for fun, just to catch a glimpse of your prowess!"

"You're quite sensible. Our Nana used to be a professional athlete, and she's never lost in sports. Last year, her total score was only one point lower than that senior from the Business Administration major; otherwise, she would have won first place!"

Listening to the praise from the classmates around him,

Xu Na, who was warming up and stretching her legs, smiled smugly, her confident expression unmatched.

"The senior who won first place last year is now a senior and went out for an internship, so she couldn't participate in this competition. I reckon that first place this time is definitely going to be our Nana!"

"That's right~ I think so too."

I don't think so.

Suddenly, a girl standing alone on one side spoke up.

Xu Na's expression changed, and she turned her head, frowning. "You are... Liu Nan, the class monitor of Class 1, Finance Major?"

"Senior Xu Na recognizes me?" Liu Nan finished warming up, straightened up, and asked in surprise.

“I know you; you often help out in the teacher’s office.” Xu Na nodded, then asked, “What did you mean when you said ‘maybe’? Do you think I can’t get first place?”

“If it were before, no one in the entire Huashang University could match you.” Liu Nan shook her head. “But now everyone knows that our finance major has a female training instructor. Her strength and style during the freshman military training were witnessed by all the students and teachers. And I heard that she is aiming for first place in the whole school in this spring sports meet, so she has signed up for almost every event!”

"I have indeed heard of the person you're talking about."

Xu Na, who always considered herself arrogant, raised an eyebrow and glanced around, her expression half teasing.

"The freshman who won first place in military training was the one, not her. She only assisted the instructors for a few days. What's there to brag about? Only winning first place yourself shows real skill! But the competition is about to start, and I still haven't seen her. Could it be... that she got sick and had a fever during military training again and made up an excuse to skip it?"

Haha~

"After all, our Sister Nana is here. Maybe she feels she can't compete and doesn't want to compete anymore? Is she running away at the last minute, backing down?"

The other students laughed along.

"She doesn't even respect the military training instructors, do you think she'd be afraid of Senior Xu Na?" Liu Nan sighed softly and continued, "You don't know her. She always acts superior and arrogant. To her, we're probably just a bunch of lowly runners, not worthy of her showing up on time to compete with us..."

"She said that? We're not worthy to be compared to her?"

Xu Na's face stiffened.

Liu Nan pursed her lips and did not give a direct answer.

"Too arrogant. They just wanted to show off a little during military training. Do they really think they can do whatever they want at Huashang University?"

As they were arguing angrily, Liu Nan suddenly took a step back and whispered, "Look, she's here."

"They've come at the perfect time! I want to see who gave them the audacity to be so arrogant!" Everyone, including Xu Na, turned around.

The first rays of dawn break.

A girl wearing military green athletic shorts and a short-sleeved shirt strode over!

Her hair was styled in an updo, her face was clean and beautiful, and her dark eyes were bright and captivating. Her slender figure was tall and graceful, and her long legs were well-proportioned and powerful; every step she took seemed to tread on light and shadow!

"She arrived just one minute before the start of the competition, deliberately becoming the center of attention! See? What did I tell you? She has no respect for her opponent at all!" Liu Nan's eyes were overflowing with jealousy. "Such an arrogant and selfish person doesn't deserve to win first place."

"First place will only be mine. Her? She's dreaming!" Xu Na snorted disdainfully, gave Wen Ni a pinky finger, and then turned around to get into her starting position.

"?"

Faced with this inexplicable hostility, Wen Ni merely trembled her eyelashes, then stood expressionless at the starting line.

No one would have guessed that Wen Ni was currently thinking about which restaurant to go to for crab hot pot after the competition, to treat herself properly.

No matter how much hostility was directed at her, she remained unconcerned, leaving the other party feeling powerless, as if they were punching cotton!

"It's just a school sports meet. Why are students making such a fuss over prize money and rankings? Is it really necessary?" Wen Ni stretched her limbs and teased.

"Bonus? What bonus? We're fighting for honor! Personal and class honor!" Xu Na glanced at her angrily. "Someone like you wouldn't understand."

“Originally, I didn’t care about winning or losing, but since you insist on provoking me like this, then don’t blame me…” Wen Ni raised an eyebrow arrogantly, her knuckles cracking as she clasped her hands together. “All the honors, I’ll take them all!”

"Heh! Ridiculous!" Xu Na sneered.

"Nana, ignore her. What's she pretending for? Is she really going to accept everything? I hope she doesn't end up crying and wailing after losing."

"that is."

The veiled sarcasm fell silent the moment the starting gun was raised.

"Bang!"

A loud bang heralded the start of the competition!
