When they arrived at the sports field,
there was already a long queue for the football match, with team leaders holding up their class signs high.
From right to left, they ranged from class 1 of the first year to class 20 of the third year.
Lin Wanning was apparently the person selected to lead their class; she quickly took over the sign-holding duties upon returning to her class, holding the sign in her left hand, with Little White obediently lying down by her side.
"Smooch smooch! Fix the dog! Fix the dog, look here!"
"Woof woof woof~ dog!"
"Such a cute dog, Wanning, can I pet it?"
Lin Wanning was already famously known as the sweetheart beauty of class 1-5, and her Lolita dress further accentuated this charm, making it difficult not to stir up excitement among her classmates.
Many boys already wanted to catch her attention, but the thin-skinned high school students hesitated to show it overtly; the sudden appearance of the dog provided them with the perfect excuse.
"No problem, duckie, Little White is very well-behaved." Lin Wanning gave everyone a sweet smile, gently nudged Little White with her foot, and had it stand up for the other girls to pet.
Fortunately, their class 1-2's queue was located on the far eastern side of the field, so the commotion didn't spread widely.
Xu Qingfan and Xiao Ruawen from class 16, upon hearing the noise, looked at each other and smiled; many of their classmates were also tiptoeing in curiosity and peeking.
"What's Brother Fan stirring up over there?" Seeing Xu Qingfan coming from that direction, Wu Shichong curiously asked, pulling his foot back in.
"Probably someone from another class doing a cool cos." Xu Qingfan didn't feel like explaining and casually said.
"What cos could be that sensational? It's a pity our class leader didn't agree to cos as the Empress; the turnaround rate would've been a solid hundred percent!" Lai Chenglang glanced at Xiao Ruawen, who was counting their class numbers and said regretfully.
"Why don't you suggest that Ruan Wen cos as a bunny girl?" Xu Qingfan thought back to her 15th birthday, and the safety catch on his metaphorical gun loosened a bit more.
"Brother Fan, can you get the class leader to cos as a bunny girl?"
Wu Shichong and Lai Chenglang envisioned that image, and saliva involuntarily began to secrete from their mouths.
He glanced at the two, thinking, [What caliber are you two, wanting to see the same cos as me?]
"As if I have that ability; you guys better not bring it up in front of her." Xu Qingfan waved his hand, definitely not admitting that he had already seen the bunny girl's limited edition Ruan Wen.
"Cut it out, Brother Fan, I thought you really could."
The two felt profoundly disappointed.
"Isn't our class's No-Face enough for you two to gawk at, still want to see a bunny girl, what the hell are you dreaming of?" Xu Qingfan raised his hand and slapped the back of their heads.
[What are you dreaming of? If there's a bunny girl cos, it would be only for me!]
As per tradition, each class during the sports event had to elect a mascot, which could be characters like a gangster rabbit, Ali, or someone cosplaying a favorite anime character.
Of course, like Lin Wanning, dressing up beautifully and dazzling everyone was also acceptable.
Their class's mascot was the No-Face man from "Spirited Away," chosen primarily because it was cheap.
Just cover yourself with black cloth, put on a white ghost mask, and the cos was greatly accomplished—not only cheap but also very convenient.
At exactly 8 am, the main podium was quickly filled with officials and observers.
As the sports melody played, starting from class 1 of the first year, each class began orderly inspections in front of the podium.
"As the cool autumn breeze greets us, coming forward are the students of the first year, class 1. They march with even steps, full of energy."
"They are top learners, they are brave heroes on the battlefield, unrepentant and passionate. Class 1, let's go!"
The broadcast began, and Xu Qingfan realized that one of the announcers was Zhang Yiyi; he could already picture the girl trying to suppress her laughter while reading the script.
Class 1's team passed the podium in even pace, with no freestyle segment, pausing briefly before moving on.
"The sky is high for birds to fly, the sea is vast for fishes to leap, and here come the students of the first year, class 2, marching with vigorous steps."
"We firmly believe that only the sweat-soaked smiles are radiant; we firmly believe that all efforts will turn into miracles. We will surely fight hard at the sports event and show our level!"
The cringe-worthy entrance speech was routinely performed, but now, the students on the scene were too occupied to critique whether the speech was awkward or not—all their attention was captured by the leading girl and the dog she was walking.
"That's a real rich beauty!"
"Three minutes, I want all the info on this girl in three minutes!"
"She's so pretty, even I, a girl, think she's attractive!"
The hooting from the crowd drowned out the broadcast, and Lin Wanning gathered the attention of all the teachers and students in the school during that short hundred-meter journey.
"Old Li, that girl from your class has a boyfriend, right? I saw her holding hands with a boy the other day."
"Old Li, you better keep a close eye on her; it's not good if such a beautiful girl gets deceived in puppy love."
"Get lost, dude, they're a natural match made in heaven, what business is it of yours, you monsters!"
The teachers were also whispering and discussing gossips, unable to contain their excitement even more than the students focusing on their studies.
From today onwards, Lin Wanning, with her bright eyes and pretty teeth, standing elegant and beautiful in the crowd, was set to become the moonlight in countless people's hearts.
After half an hour, once all 60 classes from three grades completed their entrance, it was exactly 8:30 in the morning.
