After the boys' 100-meter final, it was soon the girls' turn for the 100-meter race.
During the preliminaries, Xu Qingfan suggested the three of them should not harm each other. Xia Xiaoxiao, Xiao Ruawen, and Zhang Yiyi ran separately.
But you can dodge the first day of the lunar month, but not the fifteenth. All three girls were all-arounders and advanced smoothly to the finals.
"Yiyi, you can do it!"
"Everyone, go for it!"
Lin Wanning and Wu Lingyu were cheering on the sidelines. As requested by the three girls, Xu Qingfan stood 100 meters away, ready to greet the first girl to cross the finish line.
Xu Qingfan said he wasn't nervous, but that's a lie. He only had two hands, how could he help three people in a bit?
But the teacher didn't give him time to think. Raising the starting gun, they began to shout, "On your marks, get set... Bang!"
The moment the gun fired, the contestants on the eight lanes started quickly, and those who were slow to react immediately fell three or four meters behind.
Xu Qingfan had excellent vision. Just a few seconds into the race, he had already located the lanes of the three girls.
Xiao Ruawen was temporarily half a body length ahead, with Xia Xiaoxiao and Zhang Yiyi closely following behind. The fourth and fifth places were already five or six meters behind.
"Xiaoxiao, you can do it!"
"Yiyi, you can do it!"
The crowd was roaring with cheers, as classmates from each of the three girls were shouting with all their might. The hundred or so voices were as loud as during military training.
Ten seconds passed in the blink of an eye. The three girls were still holding the top three positions. Xiao Ruawen's lead was growing, and Xia Xiaoxiao was gradually pulling away from Zhang Yiyi.
In another blink, Xiao Ruawen sped across the finish line like a racing horse.
Seeing Xu Qingfan, she slowed down and unhesitatingly crashed into his arms.
"Cough..." Xu Qingfan firmly embraced her. Even though she had slowed down, her impact still caused him to grunt softly.
But it was all worth it. The scoundrel savored the softness against his chest and thought, Worth it, very worth it!
But he soon forgot to savor the moment, as the next second, Xia Xiaoxiao also crossed the finish line, charging straight towards them.
Xu Qingfan quickly pulled Xiao Ruawen behind him and extended his right hand to catch Xia Xiaoxiao steadily in his arms.
Seeing this, the spectators were dumbfounded. The classmates who wanted to cheer for Xia Xiaoxiao were also left standing in a daze.
Seeing what Xiao Ruawen and Xia Xiaoxiao had done, Zhang Yiyi puffed out her cheeks and charged at them without hesitation.
"Pfft... Not again." Xu Qingfan hadn't even had time to ease Xia Xiaoxiao's impact when he saw Zhang Yiyi charging towards them. He had no choice but to repeat his actions, pulling Xia Xiaoxiao behind him while discreetly pushing back his right leg to increase friction.
Without needing Xu Qingfan to catch her, Zhang Yiyi opened her arms and dove into his embrace the next second.
Their three bodies swayed significantly. Fortunately, Xu Qingfan's back foot anchored him to offset the momentum Zhang Yiyi brought.
"What? Am I seeing things?"
"Who the hell is he!"
The male classmates were instantly enraged. Hugging one was tolerable; at most, they'd murmur, "Lucky bastard." Hugging two, they could still endure, clenching their fists silently.
But hugging three at once was just too much to bear!
"That's Xu Qingfan from Class 16. He's their childhood sweetheart. Stop barking here."
"So what if they're childhood sweethearts, does that make it okay to hug and snuggle in public?" (muttering)
"I know them too. I heard they've been classmates since kindergarten."
"Come on, everyone in the Experimental Primary School knows Brother Fan."
Xu Qingfan's attention was entirely on the three girls, and he didn't notice the murmurs around him.
"Were you all trying to kill me?" Xu Qingfan rubbed his chest and rapped each of their heads in turn.
"Hehe, Brother Qingfan!"
"Top three, you all did great!"
Just as he spoke, Lin Wanning and Wu Lingyu, who had run from the starting point, arrived.
Watching Xu Qingfan go from being alone to surrounded by five beauties didn't take even a minute.
The boys around clenched their fists in jealousy, their molars almost cracking under the pressure.
They had just been discussing whose girlfriend was the prettiest. One claimed a girl in a skirt was the prettiest. Another disagreed, saying a girl with a high ponytail was their "white moonlight."
Now, no discussion was needed as all the girls were here.
"Let's check our scores first. Once the senior classes finish the 100 meters, the 200 meters will be up soon." Xu Qingfan took the hand of Wanning, who was holding a little white puppy, and said to the five girls.
Xiao Ruawen's face flushed slightly. Everyone thought it was due to the intense exercise, but the real reason was being hugged by Xu Qingfan just now.
She sneaked a glance at Qingfan and Xiaoxiao, and seeing that no one was watching her, she quickly pretended to look at the ground, acting nonchalantly.
[It's all Qingfan's fault for saying I'm his favorite. Hmph... He must be lying to me. I don't believe it!]
[If he sneaks into my dreams again, I'll beat him up!]
Xiao Ruawen imagined beating up the annoying Qingfan in her dreams, sometimes biting her lip, sometimes smiling foolishly.
