Everyone turned to look and saw He Jing standing at the finish line, panting. Her calm gaze contrasted sharply with the sweat on her forehead, and her wet hair clung to her fair skin, creating a delicate beauty.
But her teacher couldn't contain her excitement and said, "He Jing, could you become a member of the school's competition team? You're simply a hurdles prodigy!"
Um?
What kind of genius?
Hurdles?
How can He Jing be associated with hurdles?
Immediately, some students asked what was going on, and then the teacher said, "He Jing, you only took 14 seconds in the 110-meter hurdles. You really have great potential. If you are willing to join the school's competition team and train hard, you will definitely become a professional athlete."
He Jing shook her head: "Teacher, I have no intention of becoming an athlete."
The teacher grew anxious: "He Jing, don't be stubborn. I heard your family is struggling financially, and you're barely making ends meet. Joining the school's sports team will give you a salary. We'll start with the city team, then the provincial team, and finally the national team. Who knows, we might even get to participate in the Olympics someday."
Upon hearing the words "national team," He Jing fell silent. After thinking for a moment, she once again refused this sudden temptation: "Teacher, I do want to contribute to the country, but I really don't have that intention."
The other students were shocked; their jaws nearly dropped.
"My God, what kind of monster is He Jing? She's so good at studying and has such amazing athletic talent too?"
"This is too surreal. Does it mean that if He Jing nods, she will participate in the Olympics?"
"Holy crap, this is... Can the difference between the humans Nuwa created when she was in a good mood and those when she was in a bad mood really be this huge?"
"When Nuwa created me, she was probably on her period."
...
With such a bombshell announcement, who cares about Cheng Yi anymore?
Cheng Yi stood in the crowd, biting her lip tightly. The boy who had brought her water saw her expression and thought he was being disliked, so he didn't dare to bring her any more and quickly walked away silently.
Just then, a group of girls who had finished watching the commotion returned and said as they walked:
"But the weightlifting competition is coming up soon. Is He Jing really up to it? I heard that the senior who won first place in weightlifting at the last sports meet later discovered that she had a fracture and had to be sent to the hospital."
"What idiot came up with this competition? Is weightlifting a sport suitable for high school students?"
"It seems that the former principal lost a bet with the vice principal and then added weightlifting to the sports meet."
"That's incredibly reckless."
...
It's tough on these high school students; they're so young, yet they have to endure so much.
Cheng Yi immediately shook off her gloom and smiled innocently. So what if she was good at hurdling? There were even more amazing things waiting for her.
Is weightlifting something only girls should do?
Once she finishes lifting the weight, her positive image will probably be completely destroyed.
...
Weightlifting was the last event on the afternoon of the second day of the sports meet. Many students who had finished participating in other events gathered around to cheer on their classmates.
Cheng Yi also won first place in rope skipping, which made the entire Class 3 of Grade 11 look at her with new respect. During the process, she also helped a girl who fell down because she was skipping rope too fast, and made new friends again.
The girl was from another class. When Cheng Yi inquired about the weightlifters, she innocently said, "Wang Dongdong from our class is the best. She'll definitely win first place if she goes up against the wall."
Cheng Yi: "Oh, then our classmate He Jing is in big danger..."
The girl was taken aback, then quickly comforted her, "Oh, there's nothing we can do about it."
Cheng Yi sighed as if in distress, but her red lips curled up imperceptibly.
