Lu Ziyin was awakened by the noise in the classroom. She nudged Ding Kemeng and asked softly, "Mengbao, what happened?"
Ding Kemeng lowered her head and answered softly, "The teacher said the school is going to hold a sports meet on the 26th and 27th of this month, and asked if any of us want to participate!"
Tang Zhizhou also woke up and learned what the teacher had said from his deskmate Yang Xiao. He peeked over, patted Lu Ziyin on the shoulder, and asked, "Brother Lu, are you participating?"
"I won't participate." Lu Ziyin didn't like such troublesome things and immediately shook her head in refusal.
Tang Zhizhou called out to Xie Sichen again and asked, "Chen'er, are you participating?"
Xie Sichen has never been a fan of physical activities that require a lot of physical exertion, and he shook his head and refused.
"Teacher, I need a form!" Lin Changmao had just woken up. Hearing the discussion around him, he quickly rubbed his eyes and raised his hand.
Zhao Qian was delighted to see people raising their hands to participate in the sports meet. He quickly handed a form to Lin Changmao and continued, "Our class's sports representative has already set an example by signing up. Who else wants to participate?"
Seeing Lin Changmao raise his hand, a boy with fair skin sitting next to him also raised his hand: "Teacher...teacher, I...I'll participate too, could you...give me...a form?"
The boy's voice was nice, but why did it sound like he was... stuttering? Ding Kemeng looked up in confusion at the boy who was raising his hand not far away. Although it was just a side profile, judging from his raised hand, the boy was really fair-skinned!
"Oh, it's Kong Qingfeng! Here, take a form and fill it out!" Zhao Qian's eyes crinkled with a smile when he saw another boy raise his hand. He quickly pulled out another form and handed it to Kong Qingfeng.
Kong Qingfeng?
Hearing Zhao Qian call the boy's name, Ding Kemeng immediately remembered that boy; she had spoken to him this morning when collecting homework!
Seeing that Kong Qingfeng had also signed up, one of the boys in the class couldn't help but tease him, "Teacher, is the little stutterer participating in the sports meet too? Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
"Bang!"
"Ouch!" The boy had barely finished speaking when a book flew over and hit him on the head. Clutching his head, he instantly became furious: "Who is that? Are you crazy?!"
"Me!" Lin Changmao looked at the boy with a cold expression and said, "What business is it of yours if my brother signs up? Is it any of your concern if he likes you? If I ever hear you call my brother 'Little Stutterer' again, I'll beat you into a stutter!"
The boy's fierce expression instantly changed when he saw Lin Changmao. He bent down, picked up the book from the ground, and returned it to Lin Changmao. The boy quickly whispered, "I won't call anymore, I won't call anymore..." Lin Changmao and Lu Ziyin's group were together. Although the Lin family was not as powerful as the Lu family, they were not people that the boy could afford to offend. The boy dared not confront Lin Changmao in person.
Besides, Lin Changmao is tall and dark-skinned; even if they were to face each other, he wouldn't stand a chance!
"Cough cough cough..." Zhao Qian had thought the two boys would fight and was worried, but now that he saw they wouldn't argue, he felt much relieved. However, as their homeroom teacher, he couldn't just let the students cause trouble and do nothing!
"Alright, stop fooling around. Lin Changmao, don't be so impulsive. We're all classmates, so hurry up and go back to your seats!"
Zhao Qian smoothed things over, and Lin Changmao, not one to be unreasonable, turned around and went back to his seat.
Kong Qingfeng glanced at Lin Changmao and said, "Xiao...Xiao Mao, don't...don't be angry." He had always been a stutterer and had been told so by others since he was a child, so he was used to it and there was really no need for him to get angry with others.
"Which item are you going to sign up for?" Lin Changmao hated his brother's peacemaker attitude and wanted to say something to him, but when he looked at Kong Qingfeng's face, he couldn't get angry!
"Let's run... let's run the relay!" Kong Qingfeng glanced at the relay race. It had the highest score, and with him and Lin Changmao as the two participants, they would have half the number. They just needed to find two more boys to join!
"Okay, if you want a relay, then let's do it!" Lin Changmao had no objection, nodded, picked up a pen and wrote his name on the relay form, then handed the form to Zhao Qian.
Zhao Qian collected the forms, glanced at the few girls in his class, and felt a headache coming on. There were already few boys who signed up, and there were only a few girls in his class. It seemed that none of them would sign up at all.
"Girls, are there any girls who want to sign up and give it a try? Rankings don't matter, participation is what matters!"
"Teacher, I want a form too!" Ding Kemeng quickly raised her hand when Zhao Qian asked the girls.
Lu Ziyin, who was dozing off, was suddenly awakened by Ding Kemeng's voice: "Mengbao is going to participate in the sports meet?"
Tang Zhizhou and Xie Sichen were also a little incredulous. It wasn't that they looked down on Ding Kemeng, but with Ding Kemeng's physique, what kind of competition could she possibly participate in?
The homeroom teacher, Zhao Qian, was equally skeptical. He glanced at Ding Kemeng, reluctant to hand her the form: "Ding Kemeng, are you sure you want to sign up? I think you could consider joining the cheerleading team; that's still participating in the sports meet!"
"Okay, I'll sign up." Ding Kemeng nodded, took the form, and returned to her seat to start filling it out.
Lu Ziyin and the others quickly stepped forward, wanting to see which projects she had signed up for.
Ding Kemeng actually only signed up for two events: sprint and shot put?
"Mengbao, wait a minute!" Lu Ziyin pointed at the name on the shot put and said in confusion, "It's fine that you signed up for sprinting, but what's with this shot put? Are you sure you can lift it? It's so heavy, what if you get injured!"
Ding Kemeng didn't think there was anything wrong with signing up for shot put. When she saw Lu Ziyin looking at her like that, she thought Lu Ziyin was worried that she wouldn't be able to win the championship, so she quickly explained, "I can lift it. I've thrown it before. Nai Nai said I can throw it quite far. I can definitely bring glory to the class. Don't worry!"
Lu Ziyin: "..." That's not what he was worried about at all!
"Are you really going to sign up?" Lu Ziyin asked again, unwilling to give up.
Ding Kemeng nodded: "I need to register..." Her name was already written down, how could she change it!
"Teacher, could you give me a form too?" Lu Ziyin sighed and raised her hand.
Zhao Qian was somewhat surprised. Wasn't Lu Ziyin the one who hated trouble the most? Why did he actually sign up? But thinking about it, it was good. It would save the kid from going out and causing trouble for him during the sports meet. By participating in the sports meet, he could keep an eye on him!
Lu Ziyin took the form, picked up a pen, and quickly wrote her name on the shot put and sprint sections without even looking at it.
Tang Zhizhou glanced at it and chuckled: "Brother Lu, aren't you just following your wife's lead?"
Xie Sichen also saw the project Lu Ziyin had submitted and couldn't help but smile: "Looks like it's the one..."
