Chapter 234 School Sports Meet
Just a few days after returning to school, the school is going to hold a sports meet, requiring each class to have someone participate in an event.
The sports committee member, holding the registration form, shouted himself hoarse as he urged his classmates to participate.
Some people signed up, but not many.
Shen Xuewei returned from the restroom just as she heard the sports committee member shouting something.
Since I run several laps every day anyway, I might as well run a couple of laps at the school sports meet as well, just as a form of regular exercise.
Shen Xuewei waved to the sports committee member, who quickly ran to her with the registration form in hand.
"So, Shen Xuewei, are you also going to sign up for the school sports meet?"
Shen Xuewei nodded, "Okay, please sign me up for the 800-meter run and jump rope."
Alright!
The sports committee member quickly wrote down Shen Xuewei's name.
After that, several more people volunteered to participate.
Seeing that there were still some events that no one wanted to participate in, the sports committee member had a sudden inspiration and simply found a few students who were easy to persuade and added their names to the list.
Registration closes this afternoon before school ends, but we've already reached the minimum number of participants.
Seeing that no one else was signing up, the sports committee member handed the list to Teacher Qin.
Shen Xuewei signed up for both projects, cough cough... she didn't get any rankings, she was just there to make up the numbers.
After those two projects ended, she became one of the audience members, occasionally cheering on her classmates.
The long-distance running events at the school sports meet didn't have many participants, so the two-day sports meet was held on the second day.
While Shen Xuewei was cheering on her classmates, she saw the girl she had met at the skating rink again.
Perhaps it was because she was beautiful enough that she left a deep impression on Shen Xuewei.
Of course, it wasn't just Shen Xuewei who saw her; most of the students watching the long-distance runners on the field also had their eyes on her.
Simply because she was eye-catching enough just by standing there.
The physical education teacher, acting as referee, raised his arm high, and as he blew his whistle, the athletes from each class on the track instantly took off.
Students from each class were cheering for their classmates who were participating in the competition, creating a very lively scene.
Amidst the cheers, the voices of a group of people stood out as particularly loud and unified.
"Go, Xu Yue!"
"Go, Xu Yue!"
A pretty girl named Xu Yue walked past them and waved. Her overly loose pink short-sleeved shirt was fading, and the bottom part was tied around her waist with a hair tie.
She maintained a steady pace without falling behind, conserving her energy until the latter half of the race when she began to exert herself.
They passed one person after another, and remained neck and neck with the original leader.
With only 100 meters left, the two sped up at the same time, but Xu Yue ultimately reached the finish line first thanks to her longer legs.
She was panting heavily as her friends cheered and ran towards her, showering her with compliments.
"Xu Yue, you're amazing! I knew it was the right decision to have you participate in the 3,000-meter race."
"Yeah, yeah, look, you took first place! That's 3000 meters, that's awesome!"
Xu Yue licked her dry lips, her legs felt weak and she wanted to sit down on the spot. She held onto the railing and said in a hoarse voice:
"Water, water..."
"Oh right, I almost forgot. Wait a minute, I'll get you some water right away."
Shen Xuewei glanced in their direction, and when she saw that her classmates had finally finished the 3,000-meter run, she quickly went to greet them.
"Xiaochen, how are you? Are you alright?"
"Come, come, have some water. Hey, don't sit down yet, walk around slowly for a bit, then you can sit down..."
After supporting Zhao Xiaochen for a while, Shen Xuewei and another roommate helped her to a chair to sit down.
Her hands trembled as she grabbed another glass of water and drank it, saying, "No, my legs hurt terribly. Will I miss dinner?"
Shen Xuewei sighed softly. Even in this state, she was still thinking about getting food from the cafeteria.
Zhao Xiaochen lives in the bed next to Shen Xuewei's and is a real foodie.
Even though Shen Xuewei thought the cafeteria food was terrible, she thought it was alright.
As a big foodie, she was successfully persuaded by the sports committee member to sign up for the 3,000-meter race, which no one else wanted to participate in, with just two pieces of chocolate.
She slumped into the chair and let out a wail.
"Wow! I'll never believe Chen Wei again! He said the 3000 meters would be easy and quick. I almost died running like this, and I still came in last..."
The men laughed as they listened to her accusations.
He Qiwen even pulled over Chen Wei, the sports committee member who was not far away.
"Come on, Chen Wei is right here. Xiaochen, beat him up!"
Zhao Xiaochen swung her fist and punched Chen Wei.
"It's all your fault!"
Chen Wei was hit by her, but he didn't feel any pain. He just smiled and said:
"I'm sorry, it was my fault, okay?"
Seeing that Zhao Xiaochen still seemed angry, he took out two chocolates from his thin jacket.
"Hey, consider this my way of making it up to you. I also got you lunch for lunch. Is that enough?"
Zhao Xiaochen snorted and snatched the two chocolates away.
"That's more like it."
After Zhao Xiaochen finished, Chen Wei went to see the projects that other classmates were participating in.
The sports meet continued into the afternoon and finally came to a successful conclusion.
After the school sports meet, there were no more lively events at the school.
Those who don't like to study will continue to not study, and being called in for talks by teachers will become a regular occurrence.
Ms. Qin is a strict and responsible teacher. She manages Class 9 of Grade 11 very well, and the class maintains excellent discipline and hygiene.
Students who don't like to study have remained unchanged despite several conversations with them.
Teacher Qin changed their requirement from studying hard to not disturbing others' studies.
Therefore, under her guidance, the classroom atmosphere in Class 9 of Grade 11 has always been good.
November has arrived, and the sweltering heat in the wind has long since dissipated.
As I left the dormitory in the morning, I was greeted not by a warm breeze, but by a crisp, cool air that seeped into my collar.
Shen Xuewei silently zipped up her school uniform, which was originally pulled down to her chest, all the way up.
I walked quickly toward the cafeteria, my feet still shrouded in the darkness of night.
I swiped my meal card at the cafeteria and got a small bowl of vegetable and lean meat porridge with little meat and vegetables. I sat down at a nearby seat and ate it while blowing on the windows.
After finishing the last mouthful of porridge, she rubbed her still-unfulfilled stomach and once again cursed in her heart that the cafeteria would go out of business soon.
Back in the classroom, we had classes all morning. In the afternoon, Teacher Qin asked everyone to pay for materials, saying that the school had ordered new workbooks and other materials for them.
Hearing the protests from the students below, Teacher Qin felt helpless.
Although she was the homeroom teacher, these kinds of matters were decided by the school's higher-ups.
