[Sweetie: I've been given a special mission! I'm going to run the 1500 meters. Zhizhi has to reward me, the hero, tonight~~~]
Knowing that Ji Yuzhi had an exam, she didn't expect him to put his phone away so quickly after sending the reply. She was determined to get him a strawberry cake that night. Zhen Tian rubbed her hands together, her anticipation filling her with excitement at the thought of the cake.
Ji Yuzhi received a message from Zhen Tian before the exam. He couldn't help but smile; this little girl always tried her best to get gifts. Then, he frowned. 1500 meters—wasn't that a bit too difficult?
"All candidates, please place your personal belongings on the podium. If any cell phones, notes, or other such items are found during the exam, it will be considered a violation of the rules, and your score will be zero..."
The teacher urged him from above, and without thinking too much, Ji Yuzhi turned off his phone and put it on the podium.
The stadium is some distance from the teaching building, but the sound of the broadcast can still reach the classrooms, not very clear but barely audible.
Halfway through his exam, Ji Yuzhi heard the announcement about the women's 1500-meter long-distance race. His pen stopped for a long time, and he seemed lost in thought.
In an instant, a gunshot rang out, startling the other students in the examination room. This was the announcement that the race was about to begin.
Ji Yuzhi forced himself to continue writing, but he just couldn't concentrate on writing, his mind preoccupied with some unknown worry.
He glanced at the exam paper. An hour into the exam, he had finished all the multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions on the science comprehensive exam, leaving only a few major questions.
For some reason, Ji Yuzhi became increasingly agitated, and he couldn't write anything more with his pen in hand.
He didn't make things difficult for himself and simply stood up.
"Is there something wrong, Ji?" The teacher was also a little nervous when she saw his sudden movement, and stood up as well.
"Excuse me, teacher, I'd like to hand in my paper early." He walked from the back of the classroom to the podium in a few steps, put the paper on the podium, grabbed his phone, and ran out.
"Hey, hey... where are you going? The exam isn't over yet, this won't do..." the teacher called after him, but Ji Yuzhi ran away without turning his head.
The proctors were also encountering this situation for the first time. After waiting for a while, the head of the proctoring team arrived.
"Director, what do you think about this..."
The director remained silent for a while: "Let's just leave the papers as they are. I'll talk to him tomorrow."
Everyone knows the principal values this promising student highly, and the teachers naturally do too. However, they are also worried that the student might become restless in the final stretch, which would lead to a drop in grades.
Ji Yuzhi opened his phone and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there were no new messages.
He ran all the way to the stadium, asked two people for directions, and found the location for the inspection.
...
Yuan Yuan was helped over by two boys; Yang Feiguang had offered to carry her, but with so many people watching, she felt a little embarrassed.
When we arrived, Zhen Tian was doing her warm-up exercises.
"Students whose names are called, please stand on the track." The coach read out the names one by one from his notebook.
"Don't be nervous, rest if you can't run anymore." Shao Junli seemed even more nervous than Zhen Tian.
"That's enough." Ye Qingyan had long seen through this man's feelings for Zhen Tian, and always wanted to make a joke: "She's not your mother."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Zhen Tian said with a smile.
"Zhen Tian!"
"My name has been called, I'm going!" She waved to the others and stood on the track.
"Go! Go!" Ye Qingyan produced a plastic clapper from somewhere and started clapping it vigorously.
Zhen Tian glanced back and found it hard to look at.
"Hey, isn't that the girl next to Xiaolei whose name was called?" Yuan Yuan suddenly spotted a familiar figure.
Which one?
"It's one of the four on the left, the one wearing a white basketball jersey!"
"Holy crap, it really is her! What a small world!" Ye Qingyan exclaimed as she stood up.
"Brother Yang, go and remind Tian Tian to be careful." Yuan Yuan felt that the two of them wouldn't let the matter rest.
"good."
Yang Feiguang was halfway there when the whistle blew.
"It's over, it's too late." Ye Qingyan was so worried that she couldn't sit still.
"It's alright, Brother Yang has caught up with them."
When Shao Junli saw that Yang Feiguang did not stop after hearing the whistle, but instead sped up and ran over, he knew what Yang Feiguang was thinking.
"I didn't expect Brother Yang to be so reliable." Ye Qingyan was truly impressed with him.
Yang Feiguang caught up with Zhen Tian after half a lap.
"Hey? Yang, what are you doing?" Zhen Tian adjusted her breathing. In the first lap, she ran in the middle of the group, which was a pretty good result.
“You…” Yang Feiguang ran at a steady pace alongside Zhen Tian. He glanced at the girl and saw that she was a little distance away from Zhen Tian. Only then did he feel relieved and say, “Yuan Yuan noticed that there’s a girl in a white basketball uniform behind you. She’s a friend of that girl from the second year of high school. Be careful, they might be worried that you’ll get tricked.”
Zhen Tian nodded without looking back; she knew that Brother Yang and the others wouldn't lie to her.
"Don't worry, I'll be careful."
Before we could finish speaking, we had already run a lap.
"Go, Sweetie!" Ye Qingyan jumped up and shook the plastic racket again.
Zhen Tian waved to them and then ran over.
"Well? Are you done talking?"
"Yes, Tian Tian said she'll be more careful once she finds out," Yang Feiguang nodded.
"It'd better this woman not cause me any trouble, or I'll really get my hands on her." Ye Qingyan clenched her fist and sat back down.
Yuan Yuan gave her a disdainful look: "You should take care of yourself."
1500 meters is almost four laps. The first two laps rely on strength, and the last two laps rely on perseverance. Of course, this is for ordinary students, not the girls on the sports team. Those girls rely entirely on strength and can sprint the whole way.
After two and a half laps, Zhen Tian could no longer run, but her legs felt weak, and she felt as if she were floating on the ground.
After three laps, she felt like her legs weren't even her own anymore.
She was so exhausted that she couldn't even wave her hand as she passed the reviewing stand.
"If you can't run, walk! Walk!" Ye Qingyan shouted, afraid that Zhen Tian would overexert herself.
Zhen Tian glanced back and was surprised to find that there were four or five girls behind her. She was not at the bottom.
Gritting her teeth, she decided to make one last sprint.
Zhen Tian started running faster, but at that moment, the girl who had been waiting for an opportunity made her move.
She caught up from behind, pretending to overtake Zhen Tian, but actually slowed down in front of Zhen Tian, causing Zhen Tian, who was running fast, to be tripped by her foot and fall to the ground, sliding for a distance.
Seeing that her plan had succeeded, the girl sped up and ran forward again.
"Holy crap, isn't that Tian Tian? The one who fell down? You two hurry up and go, what are you thinking about?" Ye Qingyan forcefully pushed Shao Junli and Yang Feiguang out.
Then she chased after Zhen Tian.
Yuan Yuan couldn't sit still any longer, and she limped after them.
