Mid-December.

The Nanjing University Sports Meet has officially begun.

As a senior student, I can clearly feel that each school sports meet is worse than the last.

The youthful energy of the past was gone, and everyone's reaction was rather indifferent, as if they were just there to get by.

Logistics Department of the Finance Department.

Under the bright red tent, Lin Miaomiao directed the logistics team members to arrange supplies.

She's a junior now and has become a veteran in the logistics department, responsible for ensuring the smooth operation of major projects.

Gou Shengli, dressed in a tracksuit, sat on a bench, slurping down a bottle of oral glucose solution.

Liu Gang was beside him, loosening his muscles.

"Gou Sheng, good luck, it's all up to you now." After finishing her work, Lin Miaomiao came over and ruffled her boyfriend's hair.

A buzz cut can be quite prickly.

Gou Shengli chuckled: "Don't worry, don't worry, my strength has already transcended nature."

Liu Gang laughed and said, "I see you're so nervous you've even started drinking energy drinks. I didn't see any confidence in you."

Gou Shengli glared and said, "I call this insurance, okay? Just in case. If you get overtaken halfway through because of hunger, that would be a huge loss."

"Keep up the good work. I've looked at the list, and there are only three or four who pose a threat to you."

Liu Gang said in a calm tone.

Three or four... If that's the case, wouldn't he be able to get into the top five?

Gou Shengli pondered silently.

No, the top five isn't his goal. He should at least try to get into the top one.

"By the way, where's Lao Lin?"

Lin Miaomiao smiled and said, "He and Senior Su arrived a long time ago, but the sun was a bit strong, so Lin Xun took Senior Su to avoid the sun."

Gou Shengli's lips twitched: "This kid has forgotten his father now that he has a wife. He doesn't even come over to cheer me on."

"It's already pretty good that he even came, okay? Don't you know him? With Senior Su around, he probably wouldn't even bother to leave the house," Liu Gang said casually.

That's true.

Gou Shengli nodded and forgave his adopted son.

Large-scale events like school sports meets attract a lot of people, most of whom are just there to join in the fun.

After all, unexpected things can happen in crowded places.

For single men and women, this is the perfect occasion for a chance encounter.

So the boys even took a shower and sprayed cologne before going out, arriving with the highest level of courtesy.

The girls also put on shorts and skirts, showing off their best features and exuding youthful energy.

On the lawn in the center of the sports field, many pretty girls were taking pictures, and the boys were eager to try, but lacked the courage.

Behind the main stage of the sports field, there is a small shed where the sun cannot shine for the time being, leaving a shaded area.

Lin Xun and Su Qingshi sat on two bricks, with fruit and milk tea in front of them.

Lin Xun secretly took out a bottle of glucose nutrient solution from his pocket and handed it to Su Qingshi: "Senior, would you like to try this?"

Su Qingshi gave him a strange look: "Where did you get this from?"

"The logistics department has this stuff. It's so sweet, and in this hot weather, it helps prevent moisture loss."

Su Qingshi shook her head in refusal: "I don't want to."

Lin Xun didn't insist. She blinked and smiled, "Senior, let me show you how to use the 'Flick of the Flick' technique."

As he spoke, he stuck his thumb and middle finger together and flicked it at the bottle opening.

The bottle neck broke off instantly.

Su Qingshi glanced at his hand indifferently, and after seeing that his hand was alright, she said expressionlessly, "Amazing."

Lin Xun was a little annoyed. Was her senior so perfunctory when praising people?

Just then, the broadcast sounded, announcing that the competition had begun.

In order to better watch the game, Lin Xun pulled Su Qingshi outside.

The sun was shining directly on my body, and a hot sensation washed over me.

Fortunately, Lin Xun had brought an umbrella, which he opened to shield his senior from the sun.

For men who are already in a relationship, an umbrella is essential when going out on a date.

The two were also quite tall in the crowd, so even though they were standing at the back, they could still see the situation on the track.

Su Qingshi's appearance also caught the attention of those around her.

Isn't this the school beauty from last year? Why is she also interested in watching the school sports meet?

How come the school beauty has become more and more womanly after all this time?

So, the students in front were watching the game, while the students behind were looking at the school beauty.

Su Qingshi was wearing a yellow floral dress today, with a neckline that was lower than her other dresses, revealing her delicate and fair collarbone, making her the kind of person who would catch everyone's eye at first glance.

Lin Xun also noticed the many gazes he was receiving and sighed inwardly.

You guys are really sneaky. Why are you staring at other people's wives instead of watching the game?

There's not much to see at the school sports meet, it's just lively, that's why Lin Xun brought his senior here.

The project she was in charge of recently was also ready to start, so she could hand it over to her subordinates, which made her much more free now.

Lin Xun brought her here because he was afraid she would be bored.

However, the girl really wasn't interested in the competition. Suddenly, she glanced at something not far away, her eyes showing a hint of surprise. Then she said to Lin Xun, "I'll go over there."

Lin Xun looked in the direction she was pointing and nodded: "I'll go with you."

Su Qingshi nodded, and the two walked in one direction.

There stood a middle-aged man wearing sun protection clothing and glasses, watching the game from a ladder on an iron frame.

"Teacher Luo."

A clear, cold voice rang out.

The middle-aged man was slightly taken aback, then his gaze fell on the girl who had spoken, and the next second he revealed a look of surprise and delight: "It's Xiao Su, what brings you back to school?"

Su Qingshi smiled and said, "I just finished work and came here to relax."

Teacher Luo climbed down the ladder and said with a smile, "I thought you wouldn't come back after graduation."

Su Qingshi smiled faintly, then introduced Lin Xun: "This is my mentor. From my freshman year, my first competition was coached by Professor Luo."

He was my mentor.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xun quickly greeted her politely, "Hello, Teacher Luo, my name is Lin Xun."

Teacher Luo looked Lin Xun up and down and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad, a handsome young man. I've heard of you. You're quite something, managing to win over my prized student."

Lin Xun smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

Teacher Luo looked at Su Qingshi and asked, "Little Su, I heard you're working at a company now?"

Su Qingshi nodded: "Yes."

Professor Luo said with some emotion, "Actually, with your background, you could easily get a doctorate. I was even thinking of recommending you to teach at Nanjing University."

Su Qingshi smiled faintly and said, "Everyone has their own preferences. I'm doing very well in my life right now."

If she pursues a master's or doctoral degree, her future relationship with Lin Xun will naturally be hindered. Moreover, whether or not she has this title is actually irrelevant to her abilities.

After all, she has a ready-made platform and is not worried about employment at all.
