Zhang Yuanyuan happily hugged the three of them, saying, "We're amazing!"

Jiang Xiaoli stiffened for a moment, and Zhang Yuanyuan quickly let go, her face flushed. "Don't overthink it, I'm just too happy."

She looked at the awkward and proud girl in front of her and said, "Yes, I am quite happy."

Yan Lin smiled and took their arms. "Alright, we're in this together now. Let's make up today, okay? We don't have any deep-seated hatred for each other."

Zhang Yuanyuan glanced cautiously at Jiang Xiaoli, and seeing her smiling at her, she muttered softly, "I'm sorry."

Jiang Xiaoli patted her shoulder, "It's okay. You didn't understand me back then. Now that you do, the misunderstanding is cleared up."

Zhang Yuanyuan is a very proud girl. She has excellent grades, and when school started, she thought that no one could surpass her except Xu Xing.

But the sudden appearance of Jiang Xiaoli put her on edge.

However, Jiang Xiaoli's various behaviors over the past two months have made her clearly aware of the gap between the two of them.

She had wanted to apologize to Jiang Xiaoli for a long time.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuanyuan bowed solemnly to Jiang Xiaoli, "Jiang Xiaoli, I'm sorry. I was too arrogant when school started and I spoke like that. I'm sorry."

Jiang Xiaoli smiled and said, "Okay, I'm not that petty. Like Yan Lin said, we're in this together now, let's cheer each other on!"

Zhang Yuanyuan nodded, "Yes, let's cheer each other on!"

Yan Lin and Sun Jiajia were also inspired, and they both said in unison, "Let's cheer each other on!"

There are many people on the playground preparing for the sports meet. They are all very energetic and their training intensity has increased significantly.

Yuan Man chuckled happily. She had stayed behind to time the others today because she was afraid that Jiang Xiaoli, the queen of verbal sparring, would start arguing with the other three. Now that she saw them getting along so well, she nodded happily like a proud mother.

Friday arrived quickly, and after a brief opening ceremony, the 1993 Autumn Sports Meet of Xijing No. 20 Middle School officially began.

Jiang Xiaoli's 1500-meter race is scheduled for 11 o'clock.

Xiao Muyu, along with Yuan Man and Tang Wanqiao, cheered her on, while Chen Jing, Hou Rui, and Xie Yitao delivered the newsletter to the radio station right on time.

While Jiang Xiaoli was still warming up, she heard the radio start playing compliments praising her.

"This submission comes from Hou Rui, a student in Class 1, Grade 11. Look at those colorful flags fluttering in the wind—they're like blooming flowers! Listen to those earth-shattering cheers—the sound of victory echoing in our ears! Jiang Xiaoli, on the sports field, you are the symbol of victory. On the sports field, you are the praise of youth. Run! Go and meet that great challenge! Go! Be a girl who chases the wind!"

When I heard that the contributor was Hou Rui, I listened intently to what he had written.

As soon as the "Wind Chaser" appeared, the PE teacher who had just been calling out the names of the athletes participating in the 1500-meter race couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Go, Wind Chaser!"

The contestants from other classes around him were also secretly laughing.

She thought that was exciting enough, but when the 1500-meter race started, she heard another one.

"This submission comes from Chen Jing, a student from Class 1, Grade 11. Jiang Xiaoli, you are the heart of the sports field, pulsating with dreams; you are the spirit of the long road, inspiring brilliance; you are someone who relentlessly pursues knowledge! The wind cheers for you, the clouds celebrate for you, steadfastness, perseverance, endurance, and hope gather bit by bit on the extended track! Strength, the New Year, hard work, and struggle gradually brighten at the distant finish line! The powerful voice of the era is resounding beneath your feet!"

Whether the powerful voice of the times resonated beneath her feet, Jiang Xiaoli didn't know. All she knew was that upon hearing the news report, her legs went weak, and she almost tripped and fell flat on her face.

What's wrong with her three little fans' understanding of "rainbow farts"?! Help!

As she ran, she thought to herself, "If only I could block Xie Yitao's article." The next second, the broadcast started again.

"This is another submission from Class 1, Grade 11. The submitter is Xie Yitao. Jiang Xiaoli, you're like an arrow released from a bow..."

Jiang Xiaoli was the first to reach the finish line and was about to call out her name to the teacher who was timing her.

The teacher smiled and said, "Jiang Xiaoli, right? Very good, 'Wind Chaser'!"

She walked back, her face full of exasperation. Xiao Muyu, suppressing a laugh, asked, "Xiao Li, did you ask them to write the press release?"

She looked utterly dejected. "Do you think that's possible? They clearly said they were just going to compliment me, but who knew they'd go for such a harsh compliment!"

Xiao Muyu finally couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Hahaha, their manuscript is hilarious! I'm going to ask them for it later so I can take it home and show it to my dad!"

What a terrible thing!

After receiving her certificate and prize, Xie Yitao sidled up to her, eager for praise. "Jiang Xiaoli, congratulations on getting first place! Did you hear my speech just now? Wasn't it incredibly inspiring?"

Jiang Xiaoli looked at the dim-witted child with a complicated expression, "If it weren't for your manuscript, I might have run even faster."

Chen Jing, who had followed along, touched her nose guiltily. After their script was played, many people burst into laughter.

She immediately realized that something was wrong and was about to apologize to Jiang Xiaoli when she heard Xie Yitao making a fool of himself.

She instantly felt relieved. With a dim-witted idiot as a comparison, she felt at ease. "Jiang Xiaoli, do you believe me if I say I really want to praise you?"

...

Regardless, Jiang Xiaoli became famous overnight, and her top spot as the "Chasing the Wind Girl" is firmly secured.

Before the relay race in the afternoon, she checked their newsletter again and, finding nothing amiss, went to the check-in area with Sun Jiajia and the others.

Yan Lin linked her arm with hers, "Go, you 'Wind Chaser' girl, cheer us on!"

Zhang Yuanyuan and Sun Jiajia also looked at her expectantly.

Jiang Xiaoli clenched her fist to cheer everyone on, "We're number one, let's go!"

The three of them seemed to have truly received the signal, and their blood was boiling with excitement.

After everyone took their positions, the PE teacher blew his whistle, and Yan Lin dashed off the starting line, clearly a head faster than the girls next to her.

Jiang Xiaoli nervously jogged in place, caught the baton accurately and quickly, and burst forward with all her might.

Everything around her seemed to disappear until she steadily handed the baton to Sun Jiajia, at which point the cheers and shouts from all around her resumed.

Before she even reached the starting line, a whistle blew, and the first place was decided: Zhang Yuanyuan!

She jogged over and asked with concern, "How was it? How many seconds?"

Yan Lin hugged her excitedly, "47 seconds! That's amazing!"

Soon, the four stood on the podium and received the grand prize certificate for the relay race.
