School sports meet and awards
"...Here, we would like to give special commendation to Ge Ouchen from Class 4 of Grade 11!"
Today's flag-raising ceremony was more solemn and dignified on the playground than ever before.
Sunlight streamed down from the horizon, making the red flag appear as bright as fire, fluttering in the morning breeze.
Thousands of teachers and students stood solemnly on the playground, their orderly formations creating a magnificent sight.
The principal himself took to the stage, his voice resonating throughout the campus through the amplification equipment, each word steady and powerful, carrying a spirit of fervor and passion.
"Our No. 2 High School has achieved outstanding results once again in the preliminary round of the National High School Mathematics Competition that just concluded!"
"He won first place in the city with an absolute advantage! He will participate in the upcoming league and summer camp, representing the city team and the national team! This is an honor for the school, and a source of pride for all of us students!"
The applause was thunderous and lasted for a long time.
Amidst applause and music, Ge Ouchen led all the award-winning contestants onto the flag-raising platform with steady steps.
He was radiant, his steps were unhurried, and his face still had that aloof and taciturn look. He accepted the certificate, bowed slightly, and showed no excessive expression throughout. His aura was natural and upright.
The sunlight fell perfectly on him, bathing him in a pale golden glow.
In that instant, he was the most dazzling protagonist on the campus stage, like a prince who was born to shine and was out of reach.
As Jin Can stood in the line, looking up at the dazzling "school heartthrob," he caught a glimpse of an eye-catching comment.
[At this rate, it seems like Dog Bro is definitely going to get into Tsinghua or Peking University through the guaranteed admission program!]
A complex mix of emotions welled up within her: a sense of pride in sharing in the glory, a heartfelt joy, and a feeling of loneliness at being pushed apart once again.
Just then, the principal changed the subject and announced another piece of news that caused an even greater stir throughout the school.
"To enrich students' extracurricular life and improve their physical fitness, the school has decided to hold the annual spring sports meet this Thursday!"
"Oh oh oh oh oh—!"
A burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted in the square, and the students' faces were filled with excitement and anticipation.
The school sports meet means competition, shouting, and running, and it also means being able to "get some fresh air" openly.
In fact, preparations for the school sports meet had already swept across the entire school like a whirlwind, with each class eager to participate and the atmosphere in high spirits.
This was just a routine notice from the school; they simply wanted to arrange a unified entrance ceremony rehearsal during the morning exercise time this week.
However, right after school that day, a system notification suddenly rang in Jin Can's mind.
bite--!
[Triggering a new team collaboration task: "Class Glory"]
[Task Details: Please participate in this school sports meet as an organization leader, leading Class 4 of Grade 11 to achieve an S-level rating in the opening ceremony, overall team score, and sportsmanship evaluation.]
[Task Reward: Empress Aura +3000, unlocks the new feature "System Shop".]
Jin Can was stunned.
I was reluctantly signed up for the women's 800 meters after being "consulted" by the sports committee member and the system. I originally planned to completely retire after finishing the race...
But the reward for the task was too tempting: 3000 experience points, and she would level up again!
You can also unlock new features!
She accepted the challenge almost without hesitation!
So in the following days, Jin Can became the busiest person in the class.
She worked alongside the sports committee member, mobilizing everyone to train, and using a stopwatch to time and record the athletes' scores on the playground.
She drew up a detailed movement chart, coordinated the entrance ceremony rehearsal, and ensured that every student could perform to their potential.
She was even meticulous enough to try to save on class expenses, comparing prices from three different vendors to purchase bottled water, procure props, and organize supplies.
At first, she was a bit flustered, but with the passive bonus of the "Beginner Academic Star" halo, her organizational skills and affability improved rapidly.
She spoke softly and patiently, using the gentlest tone to persuade lazy students to get back into training; she also always managed to solve unexpected problems in the most efficient way—of course, mainly thanks to her systematic, step-by-step guidance.
Gradually, the way her classmates looked at her changed.
[My CEO Chan really went all out for this 3000-point "official wife" aura and new features!]
[You have such a high-speed, brilliant mind to enter the school sports meet; remember the principle I've explained.]
Sigh, Jin Can thought to himself, that's absolutely right!
I've even started using consonant sounds myself... Will people listen to me? It's not because I disgusted them, is it?
In fact, the classmates gradually discovered that this once quiet and tomboyish classmate was not only good at burying herself in her studies, but also had a patient and resourceful side when it came to helping others.
Who would have thought that she possessed such immense power!
To put it simply... she's a really kind-hearted person!
Thursday morning, the sun was shining brightly, and the school sports meet officially opened.
The most anticipated part is the opening ceremony.
When the Class 4 of Grade 11 entered the stage, the entire audience erupted in gasps of surprise.
All the students, dressed in matching white school uniforms, arrived at their designated positions on the stage. The formation quickly moved into position, and holding specially made KT boards, they instantly formed a "rocket"!
As music and sound effects began, and with Jin Can's command, they moved with precise and synchronized steps, changing formation one by one.
The pattern boards in my hand are pieced together and changed, from rocket ignition and separation to the successful launch of the satellite!
"I have exited the cabin and feel good."
As another piece of music played, the student playing an astronaut performed a series of somersaults, causing the entire school to erupt in cheers!
Amidst a chorus of singing and dancing performances, they transformed the sports meet's opening ceremony into a magnificent art form with the romance of science students.
"That's so cool! Who came up with this idea?"
"This is Class 4? Dog Bro's science class? That's amazing!"
On the podium, even the school leaders stood up and applauded.
Jin Can, standing at the very core, as the commander-in-chief, controlled the rhythm with every move he made.
Ge Ouchen stood on the other side, his gaze piercing through the crowd and locking onto her.
Her short hair is already long enough to be tied into a little bun, and her smile is confident and bright in the sunlight.
He saw her elegant gestures as she directed the formation;
I saw her smiling and high-fiving her classmates after the event;
I saw a radiance of "leadership" shining from her that I had never seen before.
At that moment, his heart skipped a beat.
She was like a sunflower, standing tall and facing the sun, bright and resolute, always inspiring and attracting me.
Now it has attracted everyone's attention.
More and more people are beginning to see Jin Can's goodness, to see her light, her energy...
I saw that "golden sun" that originally only shone on me.
A mixture of admiration, pride, and intense possessiveness surged within him.
Thus, this emotion transformed into a terrifying burst of power on the field.
In the men's 100-meter sprint, the moment the starting gun fired, Ge Ouchen, like an enraged cheetah, was the first to charge out.
His usually expressionless face was now filled with a ruthless determination to win.
He didn't want to let down his son Jin Can's efforts for this school sports meet.
However, he also took the opportunity to vent his frustration at not winning the bet and his jealousy at seeing Jin Can kiss someone else.
He crossed the finish line first, breaking the school sports meet record.
Next up was the men's 1000-meter race.
Everyone thought that the explosive power of sprinting would consume a lot of his energy. However, Ge Ouchen used an almost insane running style to maintain high speed from start to finish, leaving everyone far behind once again.
When he crossed the finish line, the second-place runner had just finished the last bend.
In the fun shooting contest, he transformed back into the basketball god, shooting and hitting baskets continuously at lightning speed within the allotted time, breaking the highest score record for the event.
Wherever he went, nothing grew; he took all the first place.
The women's 800-meter race will follow immediately after the men's 1000-meter race.
Stay calm and composed for the first 200 meters, maintain your rhythm, then unleash your full potential in the final 200 meters and sprint to the finish line!
The red-text bullet comments are pinned high, and the science popularizer has once again appeared out of nowhere, quietly going online!
But after seeing how Gou Ge ran, Jin Can got excited and decided to imitate him... but ended up becoming the laughing stock of the whole class!
However, their class's sports representative took the lead all the way and won first place.
"Damn, Jin Can, I thought you were like your dog brother! I gritted my teeth and charged in, but it turns out you're a complete idiot?"
The sports committee member made a joking remark, which prompted the whole class to chime in, resulting in continuous laughter.
A barrage of golden "idiot" comments instantly flooded the screen, used to tease Jin Can.
Jin Can scratched his head and apologized to everyone, somewhat embarrassed.
But my inner monologue: System, come out now! Where's my "Empress System" buff?
bite--!
An inorganic, emotionless electronic sound rang out:
[System: You idiot!]
However, no one would really blame her, after all, everyone had seen her dedication and courage.
Jin Can, pulling along the junior reporter from the school sports meet's broadcast, grinned and leaned close to the microphone, shouting loudly, "Go, Dog Brother! Dog Brother is the best! Class 4 of Grade 11, go go go!"
He was then interrupted by students from another class who loudly complained, "Brother Gou, please take a break and give others a chance to survive!"
Laughter filled the air, creating a lively atmosphere.
The individual events ended, and the team events began, with long rope skipping attracting almost everyone's attention.
The competition began, and two male students of similar height swung long ropes, making a rhythmic "slap slap" sound.
The fourth class lined up in a row, and the students jumped in one after another, chanting in unison to maintain the rhythm:
"One, two, jump..."
Zhou Yu stood in the middle of the line, waiting for the rope to swing over. She jumped lightly, but found that the student in front of her jumped a beat too late and was about to collide with him.
In a moment of desperation, Zhou Yu had a single thought, and the space around her slightly distorted. In a flash, she appeared on the other side of the rope and landed steadily.
Jin Can paused for a moment, glanced around, and found that everyone looked normal, as if no one had noticed anything unusual.
Jin Can: "?"
Shi Yanxi was surprisingly agile when jumping rope, but when it was her turn to go on again, she lost her footing and was about to trip over the long rope, affecting the rhythm of the whole team.
She frowned slightly, as if time had turned back a second—the rope returned to its previous position, she readjusted her steps, and jumped across cleanly and neatly.
Jin Can muttered to himself, "What? Isn't our class invincible?"
Shi Yanxi feigned innocence, adjusted her glasses, and concealed her true merits and fame.
The neighboring Class 3 was also well-trained, and for a time, the two classes were evenly matched.
As the last member of the team, Chao Ningjing quietly awakened the memories of everyone on the field: the scenes of repeated practice unfolded in the minds of all the students on the field, the rhythm and steps were all vivid in their minds.
“I call this… muscle memory!” Chao Ningning jumped up easily.
The team's movements became increasingly synchronized and fluid, and their speed increased. The students watching were amazed and shouted, "Go Class 4!"
The competition ended, and Class 4 won first place by a narrow margin.
Jin Can squinted and secretly asked them, "You three, are you up to something?"
The three of them quickly shook their heads and said in unison, "No!"
Jin Can smiled, too lazy to expose them, and turned around to hand out bottled water to all the participants together with the class monitor.
The school sports meet ended at noon.
With their stunning opening ceremony, Ge Ouchen's impressive individual score, Jin Can's impeccable organization, and a few clever tricks, Class 4 of Grade 11 won three major awards for the first time: "Best Creative Award for Opening Ceremony," "First Place in Overall Group Score," and "Class of Spiritual Civilization."
The system shop has been unlocked, and the rewards have been successfully obtained!
We have a half-day off this afternoon!
Feeling great!
Jin Can, dragging her tired body, finished cleaning up the trash on the field with the class committee members when she saw Ge Ouchen had changed out of his sweat-soaked school uniform, put on a clean sweatshirt he had brought, and was quietly waiting for her by the playground with both of their backpacks on his back.
"Let's go," he said softly.
Jin Can nodded and was about to follow when he heard footsteps behind him.
"Can Can! Brother Gou! Let's go eat hot pot to celebrate!" Lin Xiaoxiao, Chao Ningning, Zhou Yu, and Shi Yanxi arrived together.
Jin Can's heart skipped a beat, but Ge Ouchen only glanced at them indifferently before saying, "I have something to discuss with Jin Can."
It carries a clear propaganda tone.
Chao Ningning and Lin Xiaoxiao exchanged a glance, immediately understanding each other, and joked with a smile, "Oh dear, then we won't bother you! Come on, let's go eat by ourselves!"
But there are always some people who don't understand social cues.
Shi Yanxi frowned and asked in confusion, "What is it? I'll go with you."
The atmosphere suddenly tensed up. Ge Ouchen took a deep breath, his face so gloomy that it looked like a thunderstorm was about to break out.
Jin Can: "...?"
Fortunately, Chao Ningning and Lin Xiaoxiao reacted quickly, grabbing Shi Yanxi's arms on either side without saying a word.
"Yanxi, didn't you say you wanted to see the new movie? We'll go with you!"
"Yes, yes, yes! What's more important than Earth movies and hot pot than goodwill!"
"I won't—" Shi Yanxi tried to struggle, but was forcibly dragged away, and her protests could still be heard from afar.
Zhou Yu glanced at the two of them, then turned and followed them.
At the edge of the playground, only Jin Can and Ge Ouchen remained.
The afternoon sun was gentle, and the air still carried the scent of hot blood and sweat.
"Let's go," Ge Ouchen said again, his voice much gentler than before.
"Where are you going? What are you going to do?" Jin Can blinked, a hint of curiosity in his voice.
He stared at her, a very faint smile playing on his lips.
"Let's eat first."
