0076 Sports Meet 2
Despite the crowds on the playground, the loudspeaker occasionally broadcasted messages of encouragement from each class.
But in this small corner, the tranquility of life made Su and An's hearts sink.
His gaze was fixed on the competition below, but his peripheral vision kept lingering on the little girl, making his heart melt with sweetness.
His Adam's apple bobbed slightly. A young man's impulses often arise unexpectedly. He stiffened, shifted his body, and changed his sitting posture.
"Please call me by my name at school from now on."
"Okay, I also think it's a bit strange to call you Sixth Brother at school."
Ever since Su He'an turned 18, Song Yue has felt like she's the only underage child in the family. Plus, all her brothers dote on her, making her feel even younger.
When Su Cheng called earlier, Song Yue complained.
She had complained to her brothers before, but Su Feiyang's words left her speechless: "Indeed, Yueyue is the only one in the family who is still a minor; she's still a child..."
Song Yue could only cast a resentful glance at him.
The brothers smiled indulgently, and then continued with their usual routines.

A person ran over from not far away and went down to the stands. Jiang Xinglan looked at Su He'an, who was still cuddling up there, and said, "He'an, it's almost your turn. They're calling you over there to check your numbers."
Song Yue patted Su He'an: "It's your turn for the activity, hurry up and go."
She put her things back in her bag and followed him.
Su and An stood up and looked towards the competition venue in the distance. Some teams were already heading in that direction.
"There might be a lot of people running around later, so please be careful and don't stand on the side, okay?"
During the boys' long-distance running competition, the track was packed with people, and there was constant pushing and shoving. Su He'an looked at the slender little girl, who, even in a thick hoodie, looked like a tiny bundle.
Song Yue was incredibly excited when she went to cheer someone on for the first time, while Su He'an remained calm and quiet.
"Okay, I got it. Good luck!"
Su He'an smiled slightly, covering his lips with his hand to hide the smile he couldn't suppress, and walked towards the assembled group, with Song Yue following quickly behind him.
After greeting Su He'an, Jiang Xinglan went to find Yang Mingxuan: "I've noticed that He'an has been acting really strange lately. Do you know what I just saw? He was smiling at Song Yue like a dog! His eyes were practically glued to her."
Yang Mingxuan looked at Jiang Xinglan helplessly: "If he knew you said that, he would definitely kick you again!"
Jiang Xinglan stood on tiptoe and put her arm around his shoulder: "We're on the same side, you can't hurt me!"
Yang Mingxuan glanced sideways at his ingratiating expression and silently tried to scare him.
Sure enough, Jiang Xinglan got anxious: "If you go and tattle on me, I'll curse you to never find a girlfriend!"
Yang Mingxuan lowered his brows slightly, a playful smile on his face: "I won't submit a report."
As for having a girlfriend, it doesn't matter; having a boyfriend is fine too.
Jiang Xinglan breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't resist continuing her gossip: "I'm telling you the truth, I think Su He'an really has a crush on Song Yue!"
"What, do you like Song Yue?" Yang Mingxuan raised an eyebrow, a strange light flashing in his eyes.
The next moment, Jiang Xinglan shouted, "How is that possible!" and took a few steps back.
Fortunately, the surrounding crowd was so noisy that no one noticed what was happening.
Jiang Xinglan glanced around awkwardly, then walked closer to Yang Mingxuan: "Don't say these things. If Su He'an hears this, I might as well live a few more days."
Yang Mingxuan chuckled.

Su and An found Song Yue a good spot, right next to the referee. It was an open space where scores could be easily recorded, and few students were willing to go near the teacher.
He brought over a small stool and arranged for the little girl to sit there.
"We'll check again on the last lap, but be careful."
Su He'an looked at the well-behaved little girl, still feeling uneasy.
Song Yue, clutching her schoolbag, her face half-covered by her hat, looked at him with bright, sparkling eyes: "Okay, okay, the teacher is taking attendance over there, you should go quickly."
Su He'an glanced back, then patted her head, grinned, and said with a touch of youthful arrogance and confidence, "Wait for me, I'll get first place for you."
"Okay! Keep it up!" Song Yue smiled and tilted her head to cheer him on. The adorable Su He'an really wanted to pull her into his arms and pinch her cheeks right away.
The long-distance running group always has the fewest participants; each class can only manage to send one person to participate, even if they're very frugal.
There are only five tracks, so the ten classes can only be divided into two groups.
According to the class order, Su He was assigned to the fifth lane.
Sure enough, a crowd had already gathered around the playground. Su He'an watched the teacher clearing the track and felt relieved that Song Yue wasn't among them. Otherwise, it would have been really uncomfortable to be pushed and shoved like that.
He looked up and saw the little girl staring intently in his direction, and his heart started racing.
"preparation!"
Ahead, a referee teacher raised his gun high, glanced at the students' preparations, and then scanned the referee's position.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out, and several figures rushed out.
The people in the back lanes moved closer together, each chasing after the figure in front, their steps closely intertwined.
Long-distance running is all about endurance.
Su He'an regulated his breathing, closely following the steps in front, the noise around him was pushed out, and only the promise he had made to the little girl remained in his mind.
He wants to be number one.
Time ticked by, and they had already run several laps around the 400-meter track. Their steps grew heavier and heavier, their breathing became erratic, and the distance between the five people widened. One or two of them even stopped and started walking because they couldn't keep going.
Song Yue's gaze was fixed on the first-place runner, while Su He'an ran steadily and unhurriedly.
Finally, it was time for the final 200-meter sprint.
The crowd around the playground suddenly became noisy, and Song Yue quickly picked up her schoolbag and ran towards the finish line.
She wanted to wait for him at the finish line.
On a slightly chilly day, sweat streamed down his forehead, down his taut jawline, and into his collar; his heavy breathing rose and fell with each step.
He looked up and saw a red line stretched across the road, where many people were standing and shouting something.
But he still saw her at first glance; she was standing right in front of him.
His sluggish body regained some strength, and he quickened his pace, running towards the person in his heart.
The moment he crossed the red line, he saw the little girl standing quietly behind the crowd, looking at him with worried eyes. For some inexplicable reason, a thought suddenly popped into his head.
He could have stopped his momentum and rushed straight towards her, pulling the little girl into his arms. It seemed that the momentum carried her a few more steps forward.
Seeing Su He'an's pale face and sweat-covered skin, Song Yue felt both happy and worried.
Unexpectedly, before he could even step forward, Su He'an's face loomed large in front of him, exuding a powerful aura of hormones.
The body, which had been growing cold from waiting, seemed to warm up upon contact with him, warmed by his breath and the rush of blood from his body.
The air we breathed was humid and warm.
The sudden backward movement made Song Yue's body tense up. She gripped Su He'an's arm tightly, and her legs were pulled back a few steps.
The skin beneath my hands was burning hot, and I could clearly feel the boy's muscle definition and vibrant life force.
For the first time, Song Yue realized that her brothers seemed to be different from her.
