Chapter 17: Concerns from the Vice Class Monitor
Lin Yihuan nestled on the sofa, watching the recently released movie and crying her eyes out.
The phone screen next to her lit up. Lin Yihuan sniffed and reached out to pick up the phone from the coffee table. She saw the message Lu Xingche had sent her. She didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when she saw the photo that was sent, Lin Yihuan reached out and clicked on the photo.
The boy in the photo was sitting lazily on the sofa with some books scattered around him. Lin Yihuan noticed that the time on his wristwatch was 10:30.
Lin Yihuan felt a mix of emotions she couldn't quite describe.
I typed out a whole bunch of things, but after thinking about it, I deleted them all and just sent, "Okay, then you should get some rest. You have a long run tomorrow!"
Lu Xingche looked at the message she sent, frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He reached out and scratched his neat hair, then headed to the market.
The next morning, Lu Xingche was already waiting at the intersection around 6:30.
Lin Yihuan rushed to the bathroom early in the morning with her hair all messy.
By the time she finished washing up and changing into her school uniform, it was already 6:30. She quickly heated up a cup of milk, drank it, grabbed her schoolbag, and ran towards the intersection.
Lu Xingche saw the little girl running towards him with her schoolbag from a distance, and he also stepped forward to meet her.
"Have you been waiting long?" Lin Yihuan asked somewhat shyly.
"I just arrived even without him!" The boy's eyes seemed to be filled with stars, dazzlingly bright.
At 8:00 AM, Class 3 of Grade 11 is having a small meeting while waiting for the broadcast to announce that they should go downstairs to assemble.
At nine o'clock, all classes without events sat in the rest area to watch the game.
"The mixed-gender 4x400m relay race for the first-year high school students is about to begin. All participants, please be prepared."
Lin Yihuan heard the broadcast calling them to get ready together.
The first runner in the mixed-gender relay race was Su Xiaonuo, the second was Lin Yang, the third was Duan Jiahe, and the last runner was Lin Yihuan.
Lu Xingche originally wanted to participate in the mixed relay race, but Lin Yihuan decisively refused, saying that he was more suited to long-distance running.
Lu Xingche stood on the inner circle of the track, feeling uneasy. He had a feeling that something was about to happen, and he looked at the little girl with some worry.
The moment the referee fired the starting gun, the men's and women's relay races officially began.
Su Xiaonuo was much faster than the other classes, and immediately handed the baton to Lin Yang. Lin Yang took the baton and ran towards Duan Jiahe with all his might. The other classes were not to be outdone and also put in their best effort. The audience cheered for their respective classes and even unfurled banners. It was more lively than a concert. Lin Yihuan couldn't help but laugh out loud. Her smile deeply infected Lu Xingche, who was standing next to her. He couldn't help but smile too. How could this silly girl be more and more adorable?
Soon the baton was handed to Lin Yihuan. Lin Yihuan ran towards the finish line at a steady pace, but suddenly felt something was wrong. She glanced behind her, smiled, and sped up towards the finish line.
She originally intended to bump into Lin Yihuan's classmate from the next class, but she didn't expect Lin Yihuan to suddenly accelerate. She only chose to target Lin Yihuan because she thought she was too cute and easy to bully. So what if Lu Xingche was protecting her? As a result, she didn't expect Lin Yihuan to suddenly accelerate, and she missed and fell hard on the track.
By the time she looked up, Lin Yihuan had already sprinted across the finish line at breakneck speed!
A student from the next class slammed the baton to the ground with a look of resentment...
