The girl who was making things difficult for Xiao Qing was completely oblivious to Xiao Qing's unusual behavior. She simply did her best to mock her rival.
"Athletes participating in the women's 1500 meters, Group A, please prepare to enter the field." The gentle voice blared from the loudspeaker across the track. Only then did the girl who had been mocking Xiao Qing shut her mouth in anger.
However, a smug smile appeared on the right corner of his mouth. He had been watching the student council president the entire time. Naturally, he had overheard Xiao Qing telling him earlier that he wasn't good at sports and was very worried about the competition.
He was a champion for several consecutive years, and today he was going to show Xiao Qing what real strength was on the field. So, when he looked at Xiao Qing, a hint of disdain flashed in his mocking gaze.
Xiao Qing secretly cheered himself on, determined to perform at his best and shut up those who had just mocked him.
As the starting gun fired in the stadium...
All the female athletes at the starting line rushed towards the finish line with all their might. Xiao Qing was one of them, but after only two minutes, she was left behind.
The girl who had just made things difficult for Xia Qing started off strong, quickly rising to first place and only increasing in speed. He glanced back at Xia Qing, who was in last place, and his sneer deepened.
The reason why Xiao Qing didn't rush forward with so much force at the beginning was twofold. First, Huo Siyun had told him not to be too hasty at the beginning to avoid being pushed over by others. Second, he wanted to conserve his energy, since it was a 1500-meter race, which was not only a contest of speed but also of endurance.
Halfway through the race, everyone's speed gradually decreased because they had charged too fast earlier. The girl who had mocked Xia Qing earlier was no exception; her speed decreased more and more. But she still firmly held the first place.
Just as everyone slowed down, Xiao Qing suddenly accelerated and began to sprint. Although starting to sprint only halfway through the race was unconventional and could easily lead to exhaustion in the final stages.
However, Xiao Qing felt that after warming up with 800 meters, he was very confident about the 1500 meters. This speed and distance were incomparable to the morning exercises that Li Chuan led her to run when she was in junior high school.
It seems he had underestimated the difficulty of this sports meet. He never imagined that after experiencing it firsthand, he would find the 1500 meters to be so easy, requiring absolutely no effort.
Xiao Qing felt that he was exerting himself effortlessly because he did not feel tired at all. While others were slowing down and starting to pant, he was just getting started and about to sprint.
So Xiaoqing quickly overtook the second-place finisher and was about to overtake the first-place finisher.
Meanwhile, the girl who had been occupying the front position and had just mocked Xiao Qing looked at Xiao Qing's speed, which was only getting faster and faster, and her eyes were filled with shock. She couldn't believe that such a delicate girl could be so good at long-distance running. She had always been the champion, and this time was no exception. She could only be the champion, and there was no way she could be second.
However, she also understood that compared to Xiao Qing, his current physical strength was simply asking for trouble. So, just as Xiao Qing was about to overtake him, his foot suddenly veered off course.
He kicked Xiaoqing in the direction she was running from. When Xiaoqing saw the obstacle in front of her, she tried to stop, but her previous speed prevented her from avoiding it in time, and she crashed into it and fell to the ground.
After watching his trick succeed, the girl on the other side began to sprint towards the finish line at a leisurely pace.
Xiao Qing saw that his knees were bleeding, but he ignored it and bravely stood up and continued running towards the finish line.
Perhaps it was the girl's gaze that had awakened all of Xiao Qing's potential. Despite her injured knee, her speed did not slow down.
Just as the girl walked past Hongxian triumphantly, Xiaoqing suddenly blew past her like a gust of wind, and then Xiaoqing successfully won the championship.
The moment Xiaoqing jumped to the red line, she collapsed onto the playground, utterly exhausted. She had been so focused on winning that she had completely ignored the pain in her body; now that she had achieved her goal, the pain had returned as expected.
The student council president, who had been watching Xiao Qing from the stands, saw her sitting on the ground in a disheveled state. He rushed over, picked her up, and carried her to the hospital.
The student council president was originally quite far from Xiao Qing, but after seeing her fall, he rushed to where she had fallen to help her up. However, to his surprise, Xiao Qing stood up bravely and even won the competition. So he stood there waiting for her.
Huo Siyun, who had just finished her first match, heard her classmates talking about Xiao Qing's injury as soon as she stepped off the field. Ignoring the coach's calls behind her, she ran straight to the school clinic.
He went straight to the school clinic and saw Xiao Qing sitting on the bed with her head down and her fists clenched tightly, while a female doctor was applying medicine to her knees.
Bloodstained toilet paper was scattered all over the ground.
Huo Siyun felt extremely uncomfortable, as if his legs were filled with lead and he couldn't move an inch. When he finally managed to walk to Xiao Qing's side, he uttered a sentence in a trembling voice.
"Does it hurt?" Xiao Qing heard the noise and looked up to see Huo Siyun standing beside him with a worried expression.
He had been enduring the pain since he fell to the ground. His knees and ankles were in excruciating pain. The sensation of the nurse disinfecting them with alcohol was truly agonizing.
But she endured it all. The student council president, who had been watching her closely, felt particularly sorry for Xiao Qing when she saw her like this. She felt that girls could be a little delicate and should speak up if they were in pain.
"If it hurts, just say it. You can even cry." This was the only thing the student council president had said to Xiao Qing since he entered the room, but Xiao Qing just smiled and shook her head at him.
Seeing how strong Xiao Qing was, the student council president felt even more heartache for her.
But all of this crumbled when Huo Siyu entered. When Xiao Qing saw Huo Siyu standing before her, a surge of resentment, anger, and sadness welled up inside her, and tears involuntarily streamed down her face.
When Huo Siyun saw Xiao Qing's tears fall, his heart panicked.
She hurriedly used her sleeve to wipe away Xiaoqing's tears, only to find that the more she wiped, the more tears flowed. Xiaoqing looked as if she had just stepped out of the water, with so much water wanting to be released.
Xiao Qing's skin was already fair, and as Huo Siyun kept wiping her tears, her face began to turn slightly red. Huo Siyun noticed this and stopped wiping Xiao Qing's tears. Instead, she gently held her in her arms and patted her shoulder lightly.
