So cute~

Ye Zhiwei gently stroked Ye Yingying's hair and said tenderly, "The competition is coming soon, I'll cheer you on, don't be afraid!"

Ye Zhiwei has left the track at the referee's request.

Ye Yingying waved to Ye Zhiwei, "Sister Zhiwei, I will do my best!"

Just moments ago, Ye Yingying was extremely listless, frustrated, and dejected, seemingly unwilling to participate in the competition. Now, she was full of energy, as if a flame of certain victory was burning behind her.

The captain of the women's team: Wow...it's terrifying, it's completely different.

The referee blew a whistle to signal the start of the match.

The athletes began to take their positions.

The 400-meter race is about to begin.

There are twenty classes in the second year of high school, and twenty girls are ready to start on the track.

At the sound of "start," the referee raised the red flag.

Everyone had already started running.

The boys and girls in Ye Yingying's class were already cheering her on from the sidelines.

Ye Zhiwei also shouted from the side.

The 400-meter dash doesn't require the same speed as the 100-200 meter dash, nor does it demand the same endurance as the 800-meter or 3000-meter dash, but it does require finding a balance between speed and endurance.

For a normal person, the speed slows down significantly after sprinting 200 meters; 200 meters is a critical hurdle.

The female team captain was different from the others. While the others slowed down in the last 200 meters and didn't have the strength to go faster even if they managed to stay steady, she started sprinting in the last 200 meters.

To everyone's surprise, Ye Yingying stayed close behind the girl who practiced sports. Although she didn't catch up, the distance between them didn't increase either.

The whole school was in an uproar.

"Look quickly, isn't that Ye Yingying who was trending on social media before? Can she run that fast?"

"The first place is from the school team, right? I remember the school team and the second place team always had a huge gap between them—"

Ye Zhiwei was shocked.

She had no idea that the female lead had such a talent for sports, and she was thrilled to be there.

"Go Yingying!!! Ahhhhhh..."

The game proceeded normally.

The captain of the 400-meter team achieved a remarkable time of 53 seconds in the 400 meters for the first time. This is the standard for a second-level male athlete, and it was also the first time she had achieved such a good result.

Ye Yingying's time was around one minute and four seconds, close to that of a female second-level athlete. This is the first time a female athlete outside the school team has achieved such a good result.

The results were achieved through extra training only before the competition.

Is this the female lead?

Is this the female lead?!

Will miracles happen as long as the female lead is around?

When Ye Yingying reached the finish line, Ye Zhiwei felt like she had also participated in the race and couldn't help but show off proudly, "See? The second place winner is my sister!"

She was going to the finish line of the race to help Ye Yingying, who seemed exhausted.

But because she was running too fast, she bumped into someone. When Ye Zhiwei looked up, she saw Jiang Jianian. She was so surprised that she stumbled and almost fell. The brocade box containing the pastries in Jiang Jianian's hand fell to the ground, and all the pastries fell out.

Jiang Jianian didn't care about the things that fell to the ground at all; he just helped Ye Zhiwei, who almost fell, showing his gentlemanly manners.

Ye Zhiwei had just regained her footing when she looked at the pastries that had fallen to the ground, and her heart was breaking.

"Snacks—" Ye Zhiwei asked with heartache, "Aren't these my snacks?"

“Someone came over to your spot, saw Ye Yingying’s name on it, and guessed you might have forgotten to bring it.” Jiang Jianian’s face was expressionless. “I happened to be passing by when I went to register my information at the Political Education Office, so I helped bring it down.”

"It's gone; it all fell to the ground."

Jiang Jianian said calmly, "Ye Zhiwei, you bumped into me directly, and I lost my grip because I was trying to catch you."
