Chapter 143 Don't Block the Road

On Friday morning, the weather was fine and the sports meeting was held as usual.

It started at 8 o'clock, with the women's 800-meter race, in which Wang Xinyu and Ren Zheng from Class participated.

Xu Yinghuan sat in the stands to cheer for her classmates, then she looked at Li Luo, who was sitting next to Yan Zhusheng, and said with a smile, "The class monitor is sitting here this time. If some people were participating in the competition, they would probably be on the track with them by now."

"I am showing my trust in our classmates." Li Luo said calmly, "And Fang Chen borrowed my work badge. Don't you think he is quite happy accompanying me on the lawn?"

Generally speaking, only students participating in the competition and with work badges can enter and exit the stands and the playground freely. Other students cannot leave at will.

Especially if you stay on the playground for a long time, patrol members of the Student Union will come over and urge you to quickly return to your class's stands.

"But Ren Zheng doesn't seem to be interested in him." Xu Yinghuan looked at Fang Chen on the playground with a smile, and said with a tut-tut sound, "It's really difficult. Can't you just study hard?"

"Indeed." Li Luo nodded in agreement, "I have always been committed to studying hard and setting a good example for everyone."

Xu Yinghuan: "...Squad Leader, how could you say such a thing?"

"Any questions?"

"You and Zhu Sheng..." Xu Yinghuan asked the two quietly, "Hmm?"

"You underestimate the pure friendship between us as classmates." Li Luo said seriously, "You say you want to study hard, but you are actually gossiping a lot."

"No way." Xu Yinghuan pouted, "Everyone is talking about it in private. How could they run away together before the second evening self-study class is over? When they come back from get out of class, both of them are still blushing. Stop pretending, monitor."

"That's why I said you guys were gossiping." Li Luo shook his head and sighed, "I just went downstairs with her to the playground to run. I was preparing for the sports meet early. Otherwise, why do you think I signed up for the 3000-meter race?"

"Is this true?" Xu Yinghuan was somewhat convinced by Li Luo, but still a little bit unconvinced, "Zhu Sheng, say something."

"That's what Li Luo said." Yan Zhusheng nodded, "And we would go jogging together in the morning. He would write songs for me to sing, and I would teach him to play the guitar. We also practiced together in the rock club."

Li Luo: "...You don't have to explain it in such detail."

However, after hearing what Yan Zhusheng said and looking at the expression on her face, Xu Yinghuan actually believed it a little.

But her face soon turned sad: "I told Tingting that I was a little bit obsessed with you two, but it turned out that I was just empty-handed? Could it be that it's really like Tingting said, Li Luo, you and Xixi..."

"Isn't Xixi Li Luo's cousin?" Yan Zhusheng asked with his head tilted.

"How is that possible?" Xu Yinghuan shook her head repeatedly, then laughed, "Indeed, many people in the class think so. It's all because Zhu Yufei is too stupid. He couldn't even hear that Li Luo was joking."

"Jin Yuting and I were classmates of Li Luo and Ying Chanxi in junior high school."

"They are just neighbors, there is no such thing as cousins."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yan Zhusheng fell silent and turned to look at Li Luo.

"Well... I didn't know they took it seriously." Li Luo said helplessly, "But it's not wrong to say that he's my brother. After all, we've been together since we were little, so he's no different from my sister."

"Oh, so that's it." Yan Zhusheng nodded in understanding.

While they were chatting, the women's 800-meter race began.

Compared to yesterday's 1500-meter race, the 800-meter race wasn't much better. I was exhausted after finishing it.

The good news is that Wang Xinyu helped Class 8 win fourth place and returned triumphantly amid the applause and cheers of her classmates.

Apart from Yan Zhusheng, Wang Xinyu has the best motor skills among the girls in the class.

In addition to winning a place in the 800 meters, he also won third place in the high jump.

In comparison, Yan Zhusheng's talent in high jump was slightly lower and he only got eighth place.

But after the men's 1000m ends today, the women's 100m and 200m finals will soon be here.

"Let's go and report to the gymnasium." Li Luo took his work badge back from Fang Chen, and then said to Yan Zhusheng, "You must do your best in the finals and try to win a gold medal."

There are not many sports students in the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School, and there are not sports students in every project, so Yan Zhusheng has a great chance this time.

Xu Yinghuan sat in her seat, watching Li Luo accompany Yan Zhusheng to register for the competition, and stars suddenly appeared in her eyes.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s true or not, as long as it’s sweet enough.

……

In the gym.

When Ying Chanxi saw Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng coming, he immediately waved to them.

Li Luo wore his work badge, said hello to Ying Chanxi and Qiao Xinyan who came with them, then came to the physical education teacher and was responsible for guiding this round of the finals.

The physical education teacher also opened the list and began to call out the names: "Yan Zhusheng."

"Ying Chanxi."

"Luo Jiajia."

"Gao Yuqin."

"..."

I have to say that there are quite a few familiar people in this 100m final.

Following the instructions of the physical education teacher, Li Luo confirmed that all eight contestants in the final group were present, and then led them all the way to the starting point of the 100-meter race.

Here, in addition to Li Luo, people like Liu Shaowen, Xie Shuchen, Lu Wei and Zhang Yuanying from Class 7, and Li Luo's good brother Zhao Rongjun, all borrowed work badges from their classmates and ran over here to watch the game up close.

"You haven't asked yet, have you?" Li Luo walked to Zhao Rongjun and saw that he had come to cheer for Luo Jiajia on the spot, so he asked with a suspicious look on his face.

"It's not that there is no suitable opportunity." Zhao Rongjun whispered, "Please don't talk about this here."

"Okay, okay." Li Luo waved his hand, not wanting to bother with him for the time being. After chatting for a while, he strolled over to Yan Zhusheng and Ying Chanxi. "How are the two contestants preparing?"

Yan Zhusheng nodded, while Ying Chanxi rubbed his hands nervously.

"Don't ask anymore. The more you ask, the more nervous I get." Ying Chanxi took a few deep breaths, but didn't feel relieved. He was still a little nervous. It seemed as if the blood flow in his whole body had speeded up. His body felt numb and tingling, and he felt a little tense.

After all, this is not an examination room.

If he were taking an exam, facing the absolute strength, Ying Chanxi would not feel nervous at all.

But when it comes to a field that she is not particularly good at, Ying Chanxi is still an ordinary girl and she still gets nervous.

On the contrary, Yan Zhusheng's personality makes it difficult for her to get nervous.

Perhaps because he was indifferent to winning or losing, Yan Zhusheng's expression was always calm, and he didn't look like he was here to participate in the finals.

Soon, the teacher in charge began to call the contestants to get ready.

The eight contestants lined up at the starting line, forming a beautiful landscape.

Putting aside other things, just looking at the appearance, the lineup for this high school 100-meter final is really gorgeous.

Not only are there two school beauties, Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng, but there are also pretty girls like Luo Jiajia and Gao Yuqin.

So much so that not only the first-year students, but also many second- and third-year students were looking in this direction.

"The 3000-meter race is this afternoon." Lu Wei walked up to Li Luo and said with a smile, "Do you remember the bet we made?"

Li Luo: "...When did I make a bet with you? Brother, can you please be more clear-headed?"

"Humph." Lu Wei snorted coldly, "Just wait."

On the other side, Liu Shaowen stood very close to Li Luo. He glanced at Lu Wei who came over and was arrogant with Li Luo, and asked curiously: "What does that guy mean? Is he going to run 3000 meters this afternoon as well?"

"He's not very smart." Li Luo twitched his lips. "This guy likes a girl named Gao Yuqin, but Gao Yuqin always comes to chat with me, and this is what happened."

"What the hell is this?" Liu Shaowen laughed. "If you like a girl, just chase her yourself. What's the point of getting angry with others?"

"That makes sense." Xie Shuchen nodded and said, "But please don't be hypocritical. How did you mock me yesterday?"

Liu Shaowen coughed twice, a little embarrassed: "Let's put it this way. Stop talking nonsense. The game is about to start."

The teacher in charge stood outside the starting line and had raised the small flag in his hand to signal the teacher at the finish line.

The eight runners on the track also started running, ready to sprint at any time.

In the stands, all the classes whose students made it to the finals stood up at this moment.

Even students like Hua Xiuxiu who likes to memorize words took the initiative to come to the edge of the stands to cheer for their classmates.

“Ying Chanxi!”

“Ying Chanxi!”

"Yan Zhusheng!"

"Yan Zhusheng!"

Among them, the cheers from Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng were the most obvious.

At this heated moment, the teacher in charge raised the starting gun and shouted:
"Everyone is in position, ready to run!"

With a gunshot, eight figures shot out like arrows.

Luo Jiajia and Yan Zhusheng took the lead, followed closely by Ying Chanxi and Gao Yuqin.

When the eight people ran to 50 meters, the gap between them had gradually widened.

Ying Chanxi gradually fell behind to the fourth or fifth place, gritting his teeth and trying hard to move forward.

Yan Zhusheng slowly moved half a body length past Luo Jiajia, her long legs swinging back and forth.

At this time, Li Luo and others were running quickly towards the finish line, wanting to witness this moment.

But just as Yan Zhusheng successfully crossed the finish line, bursts of exclamations came from the stands.

Just when Ying Chanxi was about to reach the finish line, perhaps because she was in a hurry, she stumbled, fell forward, and fell directly on the finish line.

“Ying Chanxi!”

When Liu Shaowen and Xie Shuchen saw this scene, they were so angry that their eyes burst into tears and they ran towards Ying Chanxi frantically.

But Li Luo's reaction was much faster than theirs. The moment Ying Chanxi lost his balance, his heart skipped a beat.

Before the person could react, his body had already run over there.

But no one expected that the person who arrived at Ying Chanxi's side the fastest was another tall figure.

"Xixi, how are you? Are you injured?" Yan Zhusheng appeared beside Ying Chanxi at some point, squatted down and asked about her situation with concern, checking her injuries.

Ying Chanxi bit her lips tightly, but tears still fell one by one in pain. She sucked in air, endured the pain, and whispered: "My elbow... my wrist hurts, and my knee seems to..."

When Ying Chanxi said this, people around him quickly gathered around and expressed their concern one by one.

Yan Zhusheng said in a rare cold voice: "Step back, don't block the road, get out of the way."

After saying that, she reached out and picked up Ying Chanxi, hugged her like a princess, and ignored the classmates who came to call her to receive the award. She walked towards the infirmary with Ying Chanxi in her arms without looking back.
