Chapter 136 Nian Nian's Competition Results
"On your marks! Get ready—"
"start!"
Nian Nian's eyes were as sharp as torches, her expression was stern, and she exerted force together with Shi Linzhuo with her small palm on the ball.
However, before this force was released, Nian Nian found herself suddenly flying into the air, her feet off the ground, and her vision rising.
"Um?"
When he looked down, he saw that it was Shi Linzhuo who had put his free arm around his waist and held him in his arms.
Nian Nian's back was pressed against Shi Linzhuo's chest. Because of the feeling of weightlessness, he subconsciously wanted to let go of the hand that was pushing the ball and hold on to Shi Linzhuo's arm to maintain balance.
"Don't let go." Shi Linzhuo reminded urgently, "If you let go, you will be disqualified."
As soon as he finished speaking, Nian Nian instinctively obeyed and did not withdraw her hand. Shi Linzhuo exerted force with his calves and ran out like an arrow.
The speed was frighteningly fast. It far exceeded the expectations of the planners of Battle of Balls.
Come on! Don't the rules say you have to— Wait!
The referee was stunned.
Damn, the rules don't say you can't run while holding the ball! They just say neither player can take their hands off the ball. They took advantage of this loophole, damn it!
The game was ruined.
Nian Nian enjoyed the pleasure brought by speed, but she felt a little uneasy in her heart, "Brother, is it okay for us to do this?"
"The rules don't say you can't do that." Shi Linzhuo ran with his head down.
"Hey! We're catching up!" A male voice came from the next runway.
Nian Nian and Shi Linzhuo looked in the direction of the sound.
The father on the second track next to them had given up following the rules at some point and, just like them, ran hard while holding his son and pushing the ball with all his strength.
"We're catching up too, hahahaha!!!" This is runway number 4. The father is also running with his child in his arms.
"Don't be complacent! We're here too!" This is runway number one. Still holding a child.
The audience and referee were like: This is chaos! How come they're all hugging each other while running?!
Is this still a parent-child sports meeting? This is a sports meeting for the father alone!
"Oh my god! They're catching up! Don't be afraid, Nian Nian, brother is speeding up!"
Shi Linzhuo's vigilance soared, his competitive spirit taking over. He quickened his pace and tightened his arms to keep his younger brother secure in his arms and prevent him from falling to the ground.
Relying on his youth and good physical fitness, Shi Linzhuo suddenly burst out with power like a cheetah releasing its surging energy. The gap between the several lanes gradually widened.
Shi Nanqi was laughing out loud below: "High school students are smart, haha, don't tell me, I can't think of such a shady trick."
Shi Guilin, who was closely watching the competition, also found it absurd. While amused, he also worriedly asked, "Is this considered a violation? Will it count against my score?"
"Ah? She can't be that unlucky, right? She will really be disqualified. Nian Nian has lost two games in a row. I guess she will cry as soon as she gets off the court. Brother, do you believe it?" Shi Nanqi was still speculating and suddenly shook his head.
"No. I don't think Nian Nian and the others will have their scores cancelled."
Shi Guilin asked, "Why?"
"Because everyone in their group broke the rules, we can't cancel them all. There aren't many people in the class to begin with. If we cancel more, we won't be able to choose the finalists." Shi Nanqi looked at the runway and said, "Oh my gosh, brother, they've made it to the finish line! First place!"
Shi Guilin naturally didn't miss the victory scene of Nian Nian and Shi Linzhuo. The corners of his mouth curled up, but he said, "Don't be too happy too soon. What if the results are cancelled?"
Fortunately, Shi Nanqi's nonsense came true.
The referee and the teacher discussed and came to the conclusion: being totally unfair is actually another form of fairness.
Since all members of Nian Nian's group committed fouls, there was no question of unfairness. The referee decided to still rank the players according to the order in which they arrived at the finish line.
Even though the ending warned them not to repeat the same trick in the next game, that didn't matter. They won this game anyway.
So, Shi Linzhuo shamelessly bared his teeth and walked back with his head held high, holding Nian Nian, who was also smiling.
"Oh my, look who's back. Oh, it's the first place in the Battle of Balls group. How come our Nian Nian is so awesome?" Shi Nanqi turned into the leader of the praise group.
Shi Guilin also said, "Not bad, not bad. We all saw Nian Nian's performance clearly. She looked so handsome when she reached the finish line!"
Amidst the constant praise, Nian Nian raised her head higher and higher like a proud cat: "Brother is smart. But you're right, Nian Nian is great too!"
"That's right. Brother Zhuo took action and was the first to capture it!" Shi Linzhuo was proud of his achievement.
"After all the hardship comes happiness, after all the hardship comes happiness. We can advance with tears in our eyes." Shi Nanqi joked.
Soon, the group competition ended, and the numbers for the qualifying round were handed to Nian Nian and Shi Linzhuo. Shi Guilin helped them stick the numbers on their backs and watched them step onto the track again.
Perhaps gaming is indeed an advantage for young people. Shi Linzhuo, a young boy who hasn't fully transformed into an adult, has a lot of childishness and a strong desire to play.
He didn't feel childish about accompanying Nian Nian in this playful sports competition. Instead, he devoted himself to it, enjoyed it, and even ignited some passion.
Nian Nian was also infected by him, and she pushed the ball and rushed forward as soon as she opened her eyes. The other groups were not as motivated as them.
The result of the competition was as expected. In the Battle of Balls event, Nian Nian and Shi Linzhuo won the first place.
Having tasted the joy of first place, Shi Linzhuo no longer had any desire to participate in the next few matches. Meanwhile, Shi Nanqi, who had been patient for a long time, and Shi Guilin, eager to prove his true strength, could no longer hold back and took turns competing with Nian Nian.
As if fulfilling Shi Guilin's saying of "first suppress then praise", Nian Nian won all the way and took every first place.
Shi Nanqi and Nian Nian won first place in the three games of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, guessing the balloon, and crossing the river and building the bridge.
As for Shi Guilin, the shadow he cast on Nian Nian in the elastic ring competition was too great. In the last event of "you throw and I catch", he tried his best to persuade Nian Nian, and finally got the permission of Nian Nian, who won the first place, and got the opportunity to compete together.
During the competition, Shi Guilin kept thanking Nian Nian for being at home and throwing sandbags with him all day.
Otherwise, he and Nian Nian wouldn't have such a high level of tacit understanding in this game of "you throw, I catch". He would catch everything Nian Nian throws to him accurately.
As expected, the first place was won directly.
The parent-child sports meet ended when the sun was at its highest point. The kindergarten gave the children, who were tired after a morning of work, a half-day break, so they didn't have classes in the afternoon.
Nian Nian and her group were about to book a restaurant for lunch. They walked slowly along the sycamore-lined sidewalk outside the kindergarten, relaxed and at ease.
"Nian Nian is the child who got the most first places today!" He puffed out his chest, and several small honorary brooches on his chest gleamed in the light and shadow. "Papa, aunt, brother, and Nian Nian, you are all great!"
The scattered sunlight shines through the lush leaves and directly onto the shoulders of passers-by.
Under the camphor tree, on the sidewalk. At this moment, Nian Nian's curved eyes sparkled as brightly as her brooch.
