Yu Ting had loved Shen Sheng deeply, and recently, Shen Sheng and Xie Yangyang have been seen together often. People speculated that they would soon acknowledge their feelings for each other, leading to gossip and speculation from certain drama-loving individuals.
Unbelievable.
Yu Ting was taken aback, her widened eyes quickly narrowed into slits as she feigned indifference: "Ah... no."
After speaking, Yu Ting shifted aside, seeking a safer spot.
Bang.
The gunshot signaled the start of the race, and Xie Yangyang began running with all her might, rushing forward until, within a short thirty or so seconds, she claimed first place and advanced to the women’s 200-meter final.
There were many people gathered at the finish line, and Xie Yangyang gradually slowed down until she came to a halt.
The man waiting on the side quickly approached her, naturally assisting her: "How are you feeling? Are you confident about the finals?"
Xie Yangyang took several deep breaths, then suddenly spoke in a higher tone, cheering herself on: "I feel great, I’m OK!"
Her energetic attitude amused Shen Sheng, a gentleman whose handsome smile was eye-catching.
As the pair moved away, Yu Ting could no longer hear their conversation, she watched them for a while before returning her gaze to the front.
In the original story, the protagonist trips and Shen Sheng takes Xie Yangyang to the infirmary, and their relationship blooms.
Even if she doesn’t trip them now, their relationship will still develop.
The protagonist’s purpose seems to expedite their relationship.
Bang. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Once again, the race began, this time, it was Ning Xuan’s turn.
Yu Ting broke free of her thoughts and began paying attention to the race.
In just thirty seconds, Ning Xuan ran effortlessly, making it to the finals as first runner-up.
Yu Ting got up and gave her support, chuckling: "You ran impressively fast."
"Indeed, Let’s go, we can eat something after the finals at lunch."
"What do you want to eat?"
"Rice, I think there are some new delicious dishes, let’s try them."
...
After the 200-meter preliminaries, the finalist athletes took a brief rest before commencing the 200-meter finals.
The finals proceeded swiftly; the number of participants was small, the event concluded quickly.
Ning Xuan, not in her best form, only managed second place. Xie Yangyang won first place, the difference between them was barely a second.
The former laughed off her defeat casually, and led Yu Ting to the canteen for lunch.
The much-anticipated third day of the sports day arrived in the afternoon with a basketball match between the teachers and students.
The teachers’ team has always been a highlight of the event which led to many students signing up every year, hoping to defeat the teachers in front of their peers and show off their charm.
The first team was the students’; led by Shen Sheng and followed by a dozen or so boys, the students were vigorous, handsome, full of youthful exuberance and enthusiasm.
The teachers were next, led by a gentlemanly man, trailed by a dozen men. In contrast to the focus of the student team, the teachers were a bit more relaxed, occasionally chuckling and chatting.
They really didn’t take this seriously, coming on the field just for fun.
Yu Ting stood on the sidelines watching the game, next to her was Ning Xuan who joined in for fun. Song Zhan went back to his company to work after his match.
As mentioned in the original story, He Bochuan from the literature department was interested in Xie Yangyang, hinted at many times. Shen Sheng had caught them together several times and they didn’t get along.
Upon learning that He Bochuan planned to participate in the teachers-students’ friendly basketball match, even the senior Shen Sheng signed up to join in the fun, intending to settle their scores on the court.
This was clearly a war between the male lead and the second male lead.
Yu Ting, indifferent to the spectacle, chose not to get involved. She held an unopened bottle of mineral water in her hand.
She was here simply to see what her old friend Lu looked like playing basketball.
