Chapter 433 Extra - Did I eat your rice?
Soon, the first runner took his position, the starting gun fired, and the four of them shot off like arrows.
The first runner is always the most powerful, and their speed and momentum always draw cheers from the crowd.
Cheers continued, and Chen Song secretly cheered on the young man in the secretariat.
However, the Secretariat had a poor start, ranking second.
In the second leg, the Secretariat tied the first place.
Chen Song's lips curled into a smile: "Tie first are business and the secretariat."
Special Assistant Wen Ming smiled: "Yes, but the third and fourth runners in the Secretariat might be in trouble, especially the fourth runner, Xiao Miao..."
"Xiao Miao is the fourth batter?" Chen Song looked over and indeed saw a slightly chubby figure making preparations in place.
A calculating glint appeared in his eyes, which was unexpected.
Given her temperament, it would be good enough if she didn't run away, let alone have this eager expression?
"But what are the prizes?" Wen Ming asked.
A staff member at the base explained, "I heard that the champion gets to go out for hot pot."
Wen Ming smiled and said, "That's right, Xiao Miao has a special fondness for food."
As they were talking, the third runner had already started. The girl from the secretariat was running as fast as she could, but she was a little short and was quickly overtaken by the other three boys.
By the fourth leg, the Secretariat was ranked third.
All the pressure was concentrated on Xiao Miao. Chen Song saw her run quickly; her explosive power was decent, but...
I'm afraid it won't last.
Sure enough, after running one lap of 400 meters, Xiao Miao was clearly at a disadvantage.
It's not that she didn't want to win.
The ideal is very rich, but the reality is very harsh.
It was bad enough that her legs felt like lead, but the real problem was the sharp, throbbing pain in her lower abdomen. Yet, Xiao Miao still had a stubborn obsession.
There are still 400 meters left. What if they come from behind and overtake us?
With only 300 meters left, Xiao Miao gave up on the idea.
The gap is too big; there's really no way to catch up.
Unless she has superhuman speed.
But she couldn't give up under the watchful eyes of everyone, so she could only keep running forward with small, quick steps.
Seeing how slow her running posture was, Chen Song frowned slightly. Wen Ming, noticing this, immediately messaged someone in the secretariat: 【What's wrong with Xiao Miao? Go cheer her on! This speed is unacceptable!】
The secretariat replied: "Boss, don't be so picky. Xiao Miao is on her period today. She just went to see the instructor, and he said she has to be at the very end, even if she has to crawl."
When Wen Ming saw the message and looked at Xiao Miao, he suddenly felt a pang of pity.
Then let her give up.
Secretariat: [This won't do. She'll be deemed unqualified and will have to come back for another 15 days with the next group! This is tantamount to killing her!]
Wen Ming: […I'm afraid she'll die if she keeps running like this!]
With only 200 meters left, Xiao Miao could no longer run and switched to walking. At this time, the other three teams also arrived at the finish line one after another, and everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Miao.
At this moment, the pressure...
The seedling could only persevere until the very end.
This was her last act of defiance.
Seeing Wen Ming constantly texting on his phone, Chen Song asked, "What's going on?"
Wen Ming paused for a moment, then held up his phone to show Chen Song. Chen Song glanced at it and his brows furrowed.
The first thought that popped into my mind was that if anything happened to Xiao Miao, A Shi would kill him!
He raised his chin slightly: "Tell her to stop."
Wen Ming shrugged: "If you fail the assessment, you'll have to start over in the next round."
"No need."
Wen Ming immediately sent a message to the secretariat: "The boss said to tell Xiao Miao not to run around anymore, and to rate her as qualified."
Secretariat: [...To be honest, someone just said that our Secretariat has special privileges, and that we'll pass even if we don't finish the race. What you're doing is tantamount to slapping them in the face!]
Wen Ming: [Is face more important or life?]
Secretariat: 【…Alright, I'll go find Xiao Miao now.】
Someone in the crowd ran towards Xiao Miao, but before she could reach her, Xiao Miao collapsed, trembling.
As luck would have it, they fell right under the noses of Chen and Song.
Before Wen Ming could react, Chen Song had already pushed him aside and strode down. In just seven or eight meters, Chen Song ran over and squatted down to check on Xiao Miao's condition.
Xiao Miao struggled, her face pale: "Help me up, I can still run."
Chen Song frowned: "Is there roast duck waiting for you at the finish line or hot pot waiting for you? You're already like this, why are you still running?"
"No, I'm going to crawl to the finish line today, even if I have to!" This was the first time Xiao Miao had been so determined without the temptation of delicious food.
The sarcastic remarks of those people still echoed in her ears; if she were to admit defeat, it would be tantamount to confirming their claims.
She has disgraced the entire secretariat!
She absolutely will not allow this to happen!
She climbed up, clinging to Chen Song's arm, her calves trembling and her lower abdomen cramping.
But she still insisted on taking a step forward, then stumbled and was about to fall forward again. Chen Song quickly grabbed her and then bent down to give her a princess carry.
"You've reached the finish line, right? Okay."
Then, carrying Xiao Miao, Chen Song walked step by step toward the finish line in full view of everyone.
When Xiao Miao came to her senses, all she could see was the man's handsome and sharp profile and his resolute and cold eyes.
Surprisingly, he was quite warm, probably because his legs were off the ground, and her lower abdomen didn't seem to hurt as much as before.
