“Year two class one, Si Zhengting, please come to the starting line!” The teacher blowing the whistle held the loudspeaker and was shouting there a second time when a female voice was heard.
“Coming, coming, I’m coming!”
With Zhuang Nainai’s words, the entire field was momentarily silent.
The teacher looked at Zhuang Nainai, asking, “Where is Si Zhengting?”
Zhuang Nainai looked awkward. “He, he… Teacher, there’s a situation with our class, can you wait for a while, I’ll find a replacement immediately!”
The teacher frowned. “The sports meet’s events start one after another, how much time can I give you? This breaks the rules, no can do!”
“But…”
“No buts, if he doesn’t come within 30 seconds, year two class one is forfeited.”
Hearing the word forfeited, Zhuang Nainai was distraught.
When she was young and full of energy, there was always the feeling that certain honors were more important than anything else.
She gritted her teeth and stood on the starting line. “Then let me run!”
The sports teacher was immediately stunned.
Next to her, the boys from other classes started laughing. “Haha, long-distance racing with a girl? Even if we won, it’s completely one-sided!”
“Yeah, exactly! You should just forfeit!”
Zhuang Nainai was teased red in the face. “In a while, you guys wait to be proven wrong!”
The sports teacher also had no other choice. Looking at the time, the teacher sighed. “Then so be it.”
Thus, an unusual scene appeared at the boys’ long-distance event. At the starting line was a girl, wearing her clumsy uniform. She was sandwiched in the middle of a group of tall boys; she was simply too eye-catching…
Zhuang Nainai was intent on not bringing shame to her class. She mustered all her strength!
At that moment, someone patted her arm.
Immediately, Zhuang Nainai angrily looked to her side. “Who is it! What are you doing…”
This turn of her head caused her to entirely be in shock.
For she saw the person who was supposed to have gone home blankly standing at her side, then waving her away. “You’re taking my place, move it.”
It was obviously such an infuriating tone, but Zhuang Nainai’s eyes suddenly lit up.
At this moment, she actually felt a sourness at her nose. She felt like crying!
It was obviously Si Zhengting who let her land herself into such an embarrassing situation, but at this moment, she felt like Si Zhengting was a hero saving a damsel in distress.
Zhuang Nainai’s heart was completely filled. She was touched. She stood at the side and told Si Zhengting, “Si Zhengting, just do your best, don’t take it too seriously. If you can’t run, just walk, our class doesn’t have to rank.”
Si Zhengting still didn’t look at her, just throwing into Zhuang Nainai’s arms the Walkman and headphones in his pocket, as well as the jacket he handsomely took off.
Soon after, he rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt, lifted his black pants, stretched his ankles, and bent over, lowering his head.
The surrounding people were dumbfounded!
Is he here to participate in the sports meet?
Then, seeing the leather sports shoes… can these shoes really be used to run long distance?
In any case, the teacher still blew the whistle.
Zhuang Nainai was at first concerned but was then immediately dumbstruck.
Was that guy wearing a white shirt, with his unflushed face and unbeating heart, while all along keeping pace and running at the forefront, really Si Zhengting?
Long-distance running relied on a constant pace. Starting with a burst would definitely leave not enough stamina for the rush later. Si Zhengting left the people behind him in the dust; whether it be onlookers or the participants in the race, all snickered on the inside.
This group of successors indeed didn’t understand this, right?
