Chapter 15 Sports Day
I had planned to spend my high school years as a lazy person, but I never know which will come first, tomorrow or an accident.
At that time, Lin Qingxu was standing on the lawn next to the finish line of the men's 1,000-meter race.
A minute ago, the sports broadcast just announced the name of athlete Xu Yuying.
The three boys standing next to her were probably waiting for someone too. The sun was scorching overhead, making it difficult for them to use their phones. The process was dull, and they couldn't help but roll their eyes when they heard Xu Yuying's name.
"I usually look down on others with my nose, as if I am the best in the world."
"He ignores everyone and is as gloomy as a ghost."
"He's so proud of himself just because he got a spot in the competition."
"If I take part in this and get the grades, I'll almost certainly be admitted to Peking University. How can I not be so arrogant?"
"Didn't you say the candidate hasn't been decided yet? Why did you give it to him?"
"Xu Yuying went to see Lao Li. Lao Li said that Lin Qingxu next door would not participate, so he asked Xu Yuying to take over."
"The guy in Class One is called Lin... Why isn't Lin Qingxu in class?"
"She's studying fine arts. Unless she loves school so much and wants to bring honor to it, why would she go there?"
“Oh…ah?”
"Since you're going to see Lao Li in person, Xu Yuying really wants to participate in this?"
"nonsense."
They were so busy complaining that they didn't notice the girl next to them sending a message to Wang Hong.
[Teacher, I am willing to participate in the competition.]

Lin Qingxu certainly didn't do this because he was bored.
She was taking revenge in a very childish way, harming others and not benefiting herself.
People always have to pay the price for their actions. Good or bad. Even if the benefits are negative, I just want to vent my anger for Kan Zhao.
Although the person who was running was unaware of this.
It's just that her retribution came too quickly.
Suddenly a ball flew from the front.
The girl standing in front of Lin Qingxu fell back instinctively, and Lin Qingxu was knocked back a few steps by her before he could react.
The girl quickly supported Lin Qingxu and apologized again and again, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Classmate, are you okay?"
There was a sharp pain in his ankle. Lin Qingxu looked at the girl's self-blaming expression and said, "It's okay."
The girl looked like she was about to cry. She squatted down and touched her feet. Her friends also supported her and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I sprained my ankle. Damn, it hurts so much."
Next to her was a basketball that had appeared out of nowhere. The girl angrily said:
"That's so unethical, playing basketball on a football field?!"
But no one claimed it.
"Shall I take you to the infirmary?" asked the friend.
The girl wanted to cry but had no tears: "But the water hasn't been delivered yet."
"I was planning on asking for my senior's contact information... Last time I added him, he asked some weird questions, and then asked about his WeChat, but he still hasn't been approved as a verified friend..."
"Even if you give it to someone, they don't have to. You still have to sit here in the sun and endure the pain. Be careful not to get your wound infected."
After being threatened, the girl could only be helped away from here step by step unwillingly. Before leaving, she apologized to Lin Qingxu embarrassedly.
During the hottest time of the day, the air around us is filled with stuffiness.
My ankle was a little swollen and painful, and it hurt whenever I moved. I wasn't sure if I had twisted a ligament or a bone. Sitting down and waiting would probably be better. Lin Qingxu looked at the clothes he was holding and decided to use them as a cushion under his body instead of draping them over his head. It was more cost-effective.
After the race, Kan Zhao saw Lin Qingxu at the finish line.
He held Lin Qingxu's hand and pulled her up.
But she let out a slight "hiss", as if she was gasping in pain.
"What happened to your foot?"
Kan Zhao squatted down and pulled down her white socks a little to check the wound.
The sound of the referee's gunshot could be heard from afar, mixed with the smell of the red plastic track being melted by the sun.
"How did it happen?" Kan Zhao frowned.
"I was accidentally bumped into by someone."
Kan Zhao placed his palm on the bruise on her ankle, and the warm touch was transmitted through her skin.
"Where's that person?"
"She was also injured and went to the infirmary." Lin Qingxu added, "She apologized to me."
Due to the intense exercise, Kan Zhao's white T-shirt was soaked with sweat, and the hair on the back of his neck was stuck with petals from somewhere, and fell on Lin Qingxu's wrist as he moved.
"What's wrong with Qingxu?" Ruan Yanyan ran over from the other side of the playground, holding four ice creams in her hands. They were new products developed by the school's milk tea shop.
"She sprained her foot. I'm taking her to the infirmary."
He raised his head and asked Lin Qingxu: "Can you stand up?"
"Um."
Kan Zhao turned around and half-knelt, "Come up."
Lin Qingxu half-lay on his shoulder, and Kan Zhao helped her stand up on her knees, just like many times before.
"I'm going too." Ruan Yanyan put down what she was holding.
"No need." He glanced at the colorful packaging in the plastic bag. "I suggest sending some supplies to Qiao Yang. It seems like he's about to mutate."
From a distance, one could still hear Qiao Yang's roar of "I'm going crazy from the heat." Ruan Yanyan sighed, "That's fine."
As he spoke, a faint scent of grapefruit wafted slowly from his collar. Lin Qingxu hugged Kan Zhao's neck.
Suddenly I feel a little sleepy.

The air conditioner fan whirred.
"The ligament is slightly strained, there is no obvious tear, it's nothing serious." The school doctor concluded.
He threw an ice pack and medical spray to Kan Zhao and said, "Give her some treatment. Just be careful not to do any strenuous exercise recently."
The number of injuries during the sports meet increased dramatically, and the school doctor, who had been idle, suddenly became busy. After giving a few instructions, he opened the bed curtain to treat the next injured person.
Kan Zhao is very familiar with these categories, but he still read the instructions at the back before opening the package.
When the ice pack touched his slightly swollen skin, Lin Qingxu took a deep breath.
Kan Zhao slowed down his movements.
As if he suddenly thought of something, Kan Zhao paused and stared into her eyes.
Lin Qingxu felt a little uncomfortable with this inexplicable low pressure: "What's wrong?"
"Are you hiding something from me?"
Hiding it from Kan Zhao?
Does it count as doing bad things behind Kan Zhao's back and secretly taking revenge on Xu Yuying?
For some reason, Lin Qingxu didn't want Kan Zhao to know about this.
She subconsciously wanted to look away, but she knew Kan Zhao was aware of her little antics, so she could only bite the bullet and answer, "For example? I don't think I'm hiding anything from you, but you could tell me first. Maybe I've forgotten something, and I think I'll be able to recall it if you tell me."
"Lin Xiaoxiao, do you know that when you tell a lie, you use a lot of words?"
Lin Qingxu: "..."
She fell silent.
He mentioned it unintentionally, and as if he couldn't help himself, he spoke first: "Last time, my teacher told me that you might be in an online relationship, but I didn't believe it at the time."
Kan Zhao did not change his hands and continued to apply the mist to her after applying the ice.
"You know, this is puppy love, it really affects your studies."
If Kan Zhao really had such a learning awareness, the teachers would probably be very pleased... Unfortunately, he didn't.
Lin Qingxu laughed softly.
"What are you laughing at?"
"It felt like the characters had switched. One day, Kan Zhao applied medicine to me."
"Don't change the subject." Kan Zhao's expression was very serious.
He had never thought of Lin Qingxu as a premature lover, or even an online lover. He just asked casually, and he didn't expect that Lin Qingxu was hiding something from him.
The other questions were easy to answer, but it seemed that if Lin Qingxu "answered wrongly" on this question, she would be "cut into pieces".
"Okay." Lin Qingxu answered truthfully: "No, I'm exhausted just studying every day."
"But it will be fine after these few days."
Kan Zhao glanced at her, reluctantly believing her. He then emphasized again and again: "Aunt Gao told me to watch you and not let you fall in love too early."
Lin Qingxu blinked and said "Oh".
The medicated oil takes effect through friction, and a slight warmth emanates from the surface of the skin.
Lin Qingxu suddenly recalled that a long time ago, she really hated Kan Zhao.
