Chapter 8 Spend Time Together
The September sunshine shines on the university playground, and the golden light shines through the clouds and illuminates every youthful face.
Today is the opening ceremony of Lingda's annual school sports meeting. The playground is bustling with people and colorful flags are flying.
The principal stood on the podium and announced in a loud voice that the sports meeting officially began. The students below cheered and the atmosphere was very lively.
Tang Ximian stood in the class line and frowned slightly.
He was wearing a light sports suit, and his fair skin looked particularly clear in the sunlight.
His eyes swept through the crowd, as if looking for something, but he quickly looked away.
There were not many boys in the class, and he was randomly selected by the head teacher, so he had to actively participate in the class's 4x100m relay race.
Although he usually doesn't reject exercise, he still feels a little nervous when he thinks about running in front of so many people.
"Tangxi, you run faster, so the last baton will be handed over to you! Come on!" The squad leader patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"It's okay, relax, we will cheer for you!!" Yu Shu next to him clapped the cheering stick in his hand.
Tang Ximian nodded and forced a smile.
He knew he was the last runner and had a heavy responsibility, but he felt a little empty inside.
That guy Si Yankai, who always hangs around him on weekdays, is nowhere to be seen today.
Although he knew that Si Yankai was the vice president of the student union and had a lot of things to do, he still couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
At the same time, in the Student Union office, Si Yankai was quickly handling the tasks at hand.
His brows were furrowed, his slender fingers tapped on the keyboard, and his eyes were focused and sharp.
As the vice president of the student union, he has to take care of all the logistical arrangements before the sports meet begins.
However, his mind had already flown to the playground.
"Xi Mian is going to run the relay race today. I wonder if she will make it in time..." Si Yankai murmured in a low voice, and a smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He knew that although Tang Ximian always mocked and yelled at him on the surface.
But in fact, I still rely on him a little bit.
Thinking of this, he quickened his pace and finally arranged all the work.
"I'll leave the rest to you. I have something to do."
Si Yankai stood up, grabbed his coat and ran out. His figure quickly passed through the corridor and headed straight for the playground.
On the playground, the relay race has begun.
Tang Ximian stood in the baton-receiving area for the last runner, his heart beating fast.
The teammates in front tried their best, but the strength of the opponents should not be underestimated, and the class ranking has always been in the middle.
Tang Ximian took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and stared straight ahead.
At this moment, a familiar voice came from the audience: "Xi Mian! Come on!"
Tang Ximian looked up suddenly and saw Si Yankai standing in the front row of the audience, with his hands cupped to his mouth, cheering for him loudly.
His heart skipped a beat, and then a warm feeling surged over him.
Si Yankai had a familiar smile on his face, and his eyes were full of encouragement and trust.
"This guy... is finally here."
Tang Ximian muttered softly, but the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
The third teammate had already rushed over. Tang Ximian took the baton and rushed out like an arrow.
He was running very fast, the wind was whistling in his ears, the cheers around him seemed to become distant, and his eyes were fixed on the finish line.
Si Yankai stood in the audience, his eyes closely following Tang Ximian's figure.
His heartbeat quickened with every step Tang Ximian took, as if he were on the field himself.
He saw Tang Ximian trying his best, gradually closing the gap with the players in front, and finally crossing the finish line first at the last moment.
"We won!" "Brother Tang, you are the most handsome, no doubt about it!!" "We successfully overtook the opponent!!! Awesome!"
The classmates in the class cheered and shouted. Tang Ximian gasped and looked up at the audience. Through the crowd, he saw Si Yankai looking at him silently with a smile on his face.
Tang Ximian raised his eyebrows and smiled smugly.
