Chapter 179: Chapter 179: Sports Day
The homeroom teacher glared at them with an exasperated look before they could even speak, “What are you all still standing around for? Hurry up and go home. Do you really want to stay at school and study in the evening?”
This class has to be the dumbest batch she had ever taught!
Even at this point, they didn’t know to just run!
Still standing there like idiots.
Hearing this, everyone quickly rushed down the stairs as if injected with adrenaline. “Run, who the hell wants to stay back in class for evening study!”
“Let’s run too!” Mengmeng also hurriedly pulled Gu Zhihan down the stairs, fearful that the homeroom teacher would change her mind.
Forced to run along, Gu Zhihan watched the girl’s ponytail swing back and forth, his expression softened, and he tightened his grip on her, “Don’t run so fast, be careful not to fall.”
When they reached the parking lot, he drove her away under the sparse moonlight through the streets and alleys.
Two months later, the school welcomed its autumn sports day.
All the students wanting to sign up had to go to the student committee member, Xu Shanshan.
Since each event had limited slots, the sport-loving students rushed to Xu Shanshan as soon as the teacher finished speaking, fearing their favorite events would be taken by others.
Xu, the great student committee member, I want to sign up for the men’s 100-meter sprint.”
“I’ll sign up for the 500 meters…”
“I’ll take the long jump and sit-ups.”
Surrounded by a crowd, Xu Shanshan ignored them, clutching the sign-up sheet with a flushed face, and approached Gu Zhihan first, “Class leader, what events are you signing up for this sports day?”
“No need to ask, he’s not signing up for anything.” Before Gu Zhihan could respond, Luo Mengmeng who was munching on a piece of bread answered for him, “Gu Zhihan has never been interested in these events.”
Since elementary school, he had always refused because he, being a cleanliness freak, didn’t like the smell of sweat.
Hearing her speak with such familiarity with Gu Zhihan, Xu Shanshan bit her lip, ignoring her, and continued to look at Gu Zhihan, “Class leader, what event would you like to participate in?”
While working on an exercise, Gu Zhihan finally looked up impatiently and glanced at Xu Shanshan, “Are you deaf? Didn’t Luo Mengmeng just answer you?”
After dropping that remark, he coldly lowered his head to continue with his problems, not giving her another glance.
It was clearly unnecessary.
Xu Shanshan suddenly felt so embarrassed that she tightly clenched her skirt and her face turned so red it almost bled, “I’m sorry…”
Luo Mengmeng was utterly speechless, “I literally just said Gu Zhihan wasn’t interested. I really don’t know why you had to ask again.”
“Maybe some people are harboring other thoughts!” Tong Mo, who loved drama, immediately ran over to throw more fuel on the fire.
Chun Meng might not have noticed this girl’s feelings for Gu Zhihan, but she definitely did!
Xu Shanshan’s eyes suddenly reddened, and she pushed through the crowd, sobbing as she returned to her seat.
Mengmeng: “She cried.”
“So what if she cried.” Tong Mo was indifferent, with a helpless expression, “I didn’t name names. If she wants to take it personally, what can I do?”
Seems to make some sense…
Mengmeng rubbed her chin.
However, she soon dismissed the incident from her mind, not realizing that she had been marked by someone.
On the day of the sports day, the sun blazed down as students in blue and white school uniforms moved tables and chairs to their designated spots on the field.
As Mengmeng was kicking back with a leg perched up, drinking water, Tong Mo’s voice suddenly came from ahead.
“Chun Meng, when on earth did you sign up for the women’s 1500 meter race? Have you lost your mind?”
Tong Mo had just returned from checking the list, panting heavily.
