Chapter 17

The two arrived at the cafeteria one after the other, and the other students in the cafeteria were attracted by this good-looking couple.

Occasionally there were whispers of discussion.

Classmate A: "Hey, look, isn't that our school's new hottie? Turns out they're a couple!"

Classmate B: "Yeah, they're both so good-looking, they're a perfect match."

Classmate C's eyes lit up: "Someone like this with good grades and good looks is truly the chosen one. I thought it only existed in TV dramas, but I didn't expect it to be real. I have to say, it's really pleasing to the eyes when they are together."

Somehow, I angered a good-looking girl next to me.

"What's the point of being compatible? They're just friends."

Everyone turned around and saw a girl who looked very tough, looking at the handsome man and beautiful woman they had just praised with jealousy.

Seeing her like this, everyone fell silent.

Here, Shi Miaomiao and Lian Jian had already bought food and sat together to discuss things.

"Are you going to participate in the school track and field meet next week?"

Shi Miaomiao remembered that the class was currently counting the candidates for the sports meet, so she asked casually.

"They have already registered my name to participate," Lian Jian replied.

"What project did you participate in?" Shi Miaomiao continued to ask.

"Well, the individual 100 meters, and the team 4x100 meter relay."

Shi Miaomiao: "Are you confident you can win?"

"You know my level, it's no big deal." Lian Jian said with great pride.

Shi Miaomiao glanced at Lian Jian and continued to struggle with her food.

She thought to herself, indeed, he has always been an athlete, so why should she worry?

Lian Jian listened to Shi Miaomiao for a long time without replying to him, then looked up at her and asked, "Do you want to participate?"

Shi Miaomiao shook her head, "I don't know."

"But you should know that my athletic ability is not very developed." Shi Miaomiao continued.

Lian Jian couldn't help but smile when she heard her say this, "Are you sure that your athletic ability is the only thing that's not very developed?"

These words immediately made Shi Miaomiao's temper rise again, "Lian Jian, please speak properly."

Seeing Shi Miaomiao getting angry, he quickly comforted her: "Okay, it's my fault, don't be angry."

Shi Miaomiao became even angrier when she saw his playful smile. He was always like this, not taking his apology to her seriously at all, and always teasing her.

"You eat slowly by yourself, I'm leaving first." Shi Miaomiao said as she quickly cleaned up, took the plate and left.

"Oh, Miaomiao, Miaomiao, I really know I was wrong, please don't be angry." Lian Jian saw Shi Miaomiao so angry and hurriedly said from behind.

But Shi Miaomiao was too fast and disappeared from Lian Jian's sight before Lian Jian could react.

Lian Jian quickly packed up her own plate and prepared to chase after him.

But suddenly a girl jumped out in front and blocked Lian Jian's way.

"Hello, Lian Jian. I'm Liu Peipei from the English Department. I'm very happy to meet you. From now on..."

Lian Jian looked at the hand extended to him, then looked at the girl who suddenly appeared in front of him, and said coldly: "Classmate, I'm pursuing someone."

When Liu Peipei heard what Lian Jian said, her face immediately turned red and she could only move aside to let Lian Jian pass.

Lian Jian chased Shi Miaomiao for a long time but didn't see anyone, so he had to return empty-handed.

He took out his phone and sent a string of messages to Shi Miaomiao:

"Where are you? Please don't be angry."

At this time, Shi Miaomiao was sitting by the lake, propping up her head and staring at the lake in a daze.

"Hey, classmate, isn't it boring to sit by the lake and daydream alone?"

Shi Miaomiao looked at him with amusement. He was indeed very handsome, the kind of handsome that was naughty and very attractive. This was why women didn’t like bad men!

"What else can we do sitting by the lake?" Shi Miaomiao asked back.

"There are so many things we can do. For example, if there's one more person here, a couple can sit here and enjoy the lake view. It's better than you being alone. And don't you know? This is our school's famous Lover's Lake. The sun is about to set. I hope you don't feel uncomfortable later."

After hearing this, Shi Miaomiao suddenly felt uncomfortable and immediately stood up from the chair.

When the boy saw her like this, he immediately laughed: "Haha, I have something else to do, I'll leave first."

As he said that, he waved to Shi Miaomiao.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something, turned around, and said to Shi Miaomiao: "By the way, classmate, I'm Huang Liang from the Computer Department."

It took Shi Miaomiao a long time to realize that this was Lovers Lake. Remembering what he said, she hurried towards the dormitory.

After returning to the dormitory, washing up and going to bed, I turned on my phone and saw the message from Lian Jian.

All of a sudden, Shi Miaomiao's mood improved. In fact, she didn't know why she was angry just now.

She knew that Lian Jian usually liked to tease her, and she couldn't understand why she was angry tonight.

It turns out that love is strange.

But when she saw this message, her heart warmed again.

So she replied to him: I'm not angry anymore, see you tomorrow.

Lian Jian was the first to receive this message, and her heart was relieved. She quickly replied, "Okay, see you tomorrow, good night."

"good evening."

Both of them fell asleep with smiles on their faces.

A week later, the track and field meet was held as scheduled.

Although Shi Miaomiao did not join any team, she still went to the stands to cheer for everyone.

The 100-meter free race was about to begin. Lian Jian stood on the track and looked at Shi Miaomiao in the stands from afar. Shi Miaomiao also saw Lian Jian and made a cheering gesture to him from afar.

Shi Miaomiao's eyes tilted slightly and met a slightly familiar face.

Isn't this the person we were talking to by the lake that day? What was his name? I think it was Huang Liang.

It turns out he also participated in this competition.

Shi Miaomiao didn't think much about it and turned her head to continue looking at Lian Jian.

Following the referee's actions, several people in the stands prepared themselves, the flag fell, and all the athletes on the track rushed out.

"Come on! Come on! Come on Lian Jian!"

"Come on, Huang Liang! Come on, Huang Liang!"

…

The people in the stands, regardless of their majors or classes, formed two forces.

One side cheered for Lian Jian, and the other side cheered for Huang Liang.

While Shi Miaomiao was cheering for Lian Jian, she was also keeping an eye on the situation on the track.

The two people at the front of the runway kept a certain distance from the others. They were one in front and one behind, only half an arm's length apart.

Looking closely, it was Lian Jian and Huang Liang.

Soon, the two rushed to the finish line. Lian Jian took advantage of his height and long legs to quickly cross the finish line, followed by Huang Liang.

Just after crossing the finish line, both of them were still panting and hadn't recovered yet. Huang Liang couldn't help but come over and pat Lian Jian on the shoulder, "Boy, I admire you. After all, there are really not many people who can run faster than me."

Lian Jian's lips curled slightly: "You're welcome."

While speaking, Lian Jian's eyes were searching for something in the stands.

"Why isn't Miaomiao in the stands?" Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a man running towards me from a distance, holding two bottles of water in his hands.

"Lian Jian, here." She walked up to Lian Jian and handed him a bottle of water.

"How is it? Miaomiao, I ran well, didn't I?" At this time, Lian Jian was like a child asking for praise.

"Very good." Shi Miaomiao was not stingy with her praise.

Huang Liang, who was standing next to him, saw Shi Miaomiao and recalled their last conversation by the lake. He raised his lips slightly and said, "Hey, classmate, give me your other bottle of water. We're old acquaintances now."

Shi Miaomiao glanced at Huang Liang and thought it was just a bottle of water, so she handed the remaining bottle of water in her hand to Huang Liang.

Lian Jian, who was standing next to him, saw this scene and his eyes were as dark as ink: "Miao Miao, when did you two meet?"

Miaomiao glanced at Huang Liang and could only smile awkwardly: "Last time I had a quarrel with you, we just exchanged a few words by the lake at school."

"The lake by the school, Lover's Lake?"

"Hmm? Miaomiao?" Lian Jian's tone was a little dangerous.

"Yes, at that time I thought this classmate was so beautiful that I couldn't help but go up to her and say hello." Huang Liang next to him felt that it was not chaotic enough, so he added a few more words to add fuel to the fire.

"Oh, I see." Lian Jian nodded, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Let's go, Miaomiao. It's noon. Let's go to the cafeteria to eat."

Before Shi Miaomiao could react, Lian Jian, possessively, put his arm around her waist and walked out of the gymnasium.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, Lian Jian found a seat for Shi Miaomiao and said, "Come, sit here. I'll get you some food."

Before Shi Miaomiao could react, the person disappeared.

After a while, Lian Jian put the food they had prepared on the table.

"Come, eat."

Lian Jian greeted Shi Miaomiao. Looking at the woman in front of him who was still beautiful without makeup, he thought of Huang Liang just now and felt a sense of crisis in his heart.
