the next day.

Because of the sunny weather, the school announced that the sports meet would proceed as scheduled.

The opening ceremony lasted only ten minutes, and the official competition proceeded smoothly and in full swing.

Lin Xun and Liu Gang were already warming up.

Looking at the dark circles under Lin Xun's eyes, Liu Gang couldn't help but ask, "You're not in good shape. Will you be able to run later?"

Lin Xun smiled and said, "Don't worry, there's no problem."

He just spent too much time with his senior last night, got back late, and didn't sleep well.

However, it doesn't have any impact.

Today is the preliminary round; given his level, winning shouldn't be difficult.

"Hey, Lao Lin, Gangzi, keep it up! Crush them!" Gou Shengli's voice came from not far away.

Lin Xun and Liu Gang looked over and found that this guy was sitting on the lawn not far away with Lin Miaomiao.

"Hey, we should have brought him along, this guy..." Liu Gang suddenly regretted not letting Gou Shengli join them.

Lin Xun smiled, his gaze falling in other directions.

The scene was already crowded with people, including spectators, contestants, and support staff. The loudspeakers were constantly blaring, creating a lively atmosphere.

Just then, Gou Shengli suddenly shouted to him, "Old Lin, Senior Su is coming!"

Lin Xun's eyes lit up.

Because they needed to warm up, they left their phones with Gou Shengli. It must have been a message from their senior.

Upon hearing this, some people instinctively looked over and exclaimed, "Wow! Isn't that the school beauty's boyfriend? Is he also a participant in the school sports meet?"

Shortly after, a girl appeared on the playground.

Her appearance silenced everyone nearby, who stared at her with unblinking eyes, their gazes filled with amazement.

What a beautiful girl!

She looks like a celestial being descended to earth!

The freshmen who had never seen Su Qingshi before were all amazed and surprised at who this beautiful girl was, while the upperclassmen all knew her fame. At the same time, they had a strong feeling that the school beauty was here because of her fiancé!

really.

Lin Xun watched Su Qingshi approach, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

"Senior!" Lin Xun waved.

"Good morning." Su Qingshi walked up to Lin Xun and said, "You don't look very well. How did you sleep last night?"

"Not bad." Lin Xun scratched his head.

"Good luck in the competition!" Su Qingshi encouraged softly.

"Yes, I will!" Lin Xun nodded confidently.

Liu Gang also greeted her, and Su Qingshi nodded slightly.

To outsiders, this goddess still appears stunning and aloof, but when she chats with that handsome guy, her voice becomes very gentle, and her expression changes noticeably.

"What's their relationship? Why is that pretty girl so gentle with him?"

"You're a freshman, right? You don't know her? She's our school's legendary beauty, the undisputed number one beauty, Su Qingshi."

"Su Qingshi? The top beauty in the school? I thought the top beauty in the school was that senior Su Qing."

"Hehe, when Senior Su was the school beauty, Su Qing was just a freshman like you. Moreover, Su Qingshi's achievements far surpass those of Su Qing."

"Wow! Does she have a boyfriend?"

"Ahem, that's not a question for you to ask."

"See that guy across from her? I regret to inform you that she's already engaged."

"Wow! Such a beautiful girl is engaged? Who is that guy? How did he manage to win over the school beauty?"

"Who knows? Maybe he has something that the school beauty likes. Of course, his family is the richest in the country."

"...6."

At that moment, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.

Lin Xun and Liu Gang hurriedly ran towards the starting line.

"etc."

Suddenly Su Qingshi called out to Lin Xun.

The latter looked at her curiously: "Senior, what's wrong?"

Su Qingshi walked to Lin Xun's side, suddenly stood on tiptoe, kissed him on the cheek, and said shyly, "Good luck!"

Instantly, Lin Xun perked up, his eyes gleaming with fighting spirit as he excitedly exclaimed, "Don't worry, senior, wait for my good news!"

Click!

Those who witnessed this scene were immediately filled with jealousy and envy, their hearts aching with bitterness.

Damn it!

Those who flaunt their love will die young!

At this moment, the competition was about to begin, starting with the 400-meter preliminary rounds.

Lin Xun and Liu Gang stood in the first lane and the fifth lane respectively, and they were assigned to the fifth group.

"On your marks—get set—" With the sound of the starting gun, the competition officially began.

The crowd shot off like arrows released from a bow...

This time, Lin Xun seemed to be on a high, rushing ahead and taking the lead, while Liu Gang followed leisurely behind.

In the final 100-meter sprint, Liu Gang overtook Lin Xun to take first place, while Lin Xun came in second.

The entire stadium erupted in cheers.

The preliminary rounds are essentially a selection process. Both of them are strong enough to compete with professional athletes, so it would be easy for them to easily outperform these amateur sports enthusiasts.

The first group has finished, and the second group is about to begin...

Lin Xun and Liu Gang also walked around on the lawn with stiff legs.

"You're amazing, you performed beyond your usual standard." Liu Gang exclaimed as he looked at Lin Xun.

The latter chuckled: "Of course, but you still beat me."

"Impressive, impressive! You're truly my son, living up to my expectations. You are my pride." Gou Shengli leaned over.

Liu Gang and Lin Xun both rolled their eyes.

Lin Miaomiao and Su Qingshi also came over.

Su Qingshi held tissues and water in her hand. She took the initiative to wipe away Lin Xun's sweat and praised him, "Very impressive."

Lin Xun felt a warmth in his heart and chuckled foolishly, "Senior, it's your kisses that give me so much motivation, so I propose that you kiss me every time I go for a run next time."

Lin Xun said this while leaning close to her, so no one else heard it.

Su Qingshi blushed slightly and glared at him reproachfully: "You rascal, you wish!"

Hehehe.

"There's still the semi-finals later, with some top athletes from the Sports Institute. However, only three people from the Sports Institute made it to the semi-finals, but the others are also quite strong. We need to be prepared for a do-or-die situation," Liu Gang said to Lin Xun.

Lin Xun nodded: "I understand."

He participated in this competition because he wanted to give it his all, after all, he had been training for so long.

The two then went into a relaxation phase. Lin Xun lay on the lawn, while Su Qingshi stood behind him, helping him relax his muscles.

Meanwhile, Gou Shengli was stepping on Liu Gang's leg, making him wince in pain.

Liu Gang: Look how gentle Senior Su is, are you getting revenge on me?

Gou Shengli: Ha, do you think I'm your boyfriend?

After countless races, the men's 400m semifinals are about to begin.

Today we were eliminated in the semifinals. The finals of all major competitions are held on the same day the school sports meet ends, followed by the awards ceremony.
