Even Assistant Gu was shocked by these words! Was Master Huo planning to give Miss Xunting a position as Mrs. Huo? He stood silently in the background, not daring to disturb him.
Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Huo Lin curled his lips and turned to look at her. "Unhappy?"
"I…"
"You don't like me anymore?" Huo Lin's expression was indifferent, though he showed no emotion, he still exerted pressure on people.
He had this "you dare not like me, just try it" look on his face, making her look incredibly timid. This wasn't asking for someone's opinion at all; it was clearly... forcing her to say she liked him.
The lie I made up myself, I can only grit my teeth and keep it up, saying, "I like it."
Huo Lin glanced at the school gate and asked, "How much longer until the sports meet ends?"
"About two hours."
"Hmm." Huo Lin strode forward and walked into the school gate.
Xun Ting avoided him and went back to his own classroom. Fortunately, the villain didn't follow and was standing to the side. The principal was talking to him, and he nodded indifferently.
"Shen Miao, can you do the 1500 meters? I've calculated our class's individual scores and compared them with other classes. If you get into the top eight in the 1500 meters and Gu Tian gets first place in the high jump, our overall ranking will be in the top three."
The students from the class gathered together, and the boys were talking with a hint of smugness.
"I can't do it." Shen Miao's face immediately turned ugly. Let alone the top eight, she couldn't even finish the race.
Before the competition, she hadn't experienced the pain of running. After running half a lap of the 800 meters, she wanted to sit down immediately because she was so tired.
"Can't you give it your all? For the honor of the class, and so that we won't be looked down upon by others!"
"I simply don't have the ability to finish in the top eight, so how can I compete?"
"If you can't win, what's the point of signing up? Do you think it's fun? Are you planning to give up halfway through like you did in the 800 meters? Aren't you ashamed?"
"If someone else is willing to run, let her go, I'd be grateful!" Shen Miao was furious, did she really think she wanted to compete?
If Xun Ting hadn't refused to go and been so shameless, would she have been so embarrassed?
"Xunting, don't be so selfish. If you can win the 1500 meters, then you run it, for the honor of the class." The boy could only turn his gaze to Xunting.
"I can't win." Xun Ting shook her head, her gaze occasionally drifting towards Huo Lin.
"Are you really unable to win, or are you angry with Shen Miao and unwilling to go? Or are you even weaker than Shen Miao, afraid of stopping before you can even run 100 meters and losing face?"
Gu Tian couldn't resist using reverse psychology. She also cared about honor, and all their hopes now were for someone to come out and win a top-eight finish in the 1,500 meters.
She felt that a strong person would definitely be unhappy if someone said they were weak, so she stormed onto the stage in a huff.
But Xun Tingting had no desire to prove herself. She said calmly, "Yes, I can't even run fifty meters."
"Xun Ting, what exactly do you want?!"
"Let's see you run the 1500 meters. If you lose, we'll accept it and won't blame you. At least you seem more reliable than the class monitor. If you win, I'll acknowledge you as my older sister!"
“…I don’t want a younger brother who hasn’t showered in years.” Xun Ting’s lips twitched. Why did he say it like a reward?
"You! You don't know what's good for you."
"Shen Miao, say something! After all, you're the culprit!"
Shen Miao didn't care about class honors at all, but as the class monitor, she could only look at Xun Ting in the face of everyone's gaze.
"If you win first place in the 1500 meters, I'll call you 'Dad' over the loudspeaker in front of the whole school!"
Even if Xun Ting could win an award, he wouldn't be able to get first place, since there's a sports student in Class One who breaks records every year!
