Rising Against the Wind (1)

Experimental No. 3’s autumn sports competition lasted for two days. On the afternoon of the second day, a group of Class 1’s boys had arrived early at the field and moved the last of the logistics supplies over.

Under a tree shade, Fu Songhua scratched his head and there was a grave expression on his handsome wheat-colored face as he examined a tablet.

He muttered a calculation and finally let out a sigh of relief after a while, turning to speak to Qin Yuan. “Boss, it’s going to be no problem at all to secure first place. That Class 6’s fool Lin Hua was beaten in the race just now. Their class is hopeless, hahaha!”

Qin Yuan took the tablet into his hand, rapidly skimming over it.

It indeed looked like they could indeed secure first place. But… he kept on feeling something was slightly off about the situation.

“Are you sure Class 9’s awards aren’t wrong? Only this?” He suddenly asked.

Fu Songhua was stunned. “Yes! Although their class is a dark horse this year, they still can’t compare with our winnings.”

Ruan Qingmu, that treacherous guy, actually hid so much power. Very insidious!

It was like Ruan Qingm’s life had been hanging up* from yesterday to this morning. He won a shocking first place in the 100 meters, accidentally touched the bar in the 400 hurdles and won third place, and even competed with him in the high jump this morning.

*T/N:  Saying that his life is going on smoothly without any setbacks.

It was so infuriating. With Ruan Qingmu’s height, he unexpectedly managed to get a result two centimeters shorter than his and won second place.

Luckily, he managed to win by a narrow margin at the last jump. If Ruan Qingmu had truly beaten him with his height, he might as well just kill himself now!

Fang Li, who won third place in the standing long jump yesterday, was also a shocking matter.

However, their total points were still less than theirs, no matter how they were calculated in the longrun.

He had already gotten two first places in the long jump and high jump and the class monitor had also gotten first place in the 400 meters and second place in the 800 meters just now.

Besides, he also partnered up with the class monitor to participate in the 4×100 meters relay, firmly ensuring the first rank.

“Class monitor, I’ve calculated. No matter what happens this afternoon, Class 9’s overall scores will still be lower than our class.” He patted his chest. “Even if you lose to Ruan Qingmu in the 1500 meters –”

As Fu Songhua raised his head, he saw Qin Yuan’s eyes silently gazing at him and he hurriedly forced out a laugh. “Of course, how could he beat you?! I’m only imagining the most unlikely extreme scenario…”

Qin Yuan’s gaze crossed over toward him and looked at a distant place.

From Class 9’s registration form, it could be inferred that they adhered to some rules and purposely made arrangements, optimizing and adjusting to the utmost strategy. However, all of this was useless in the end.

As Fu Songhua said, it turned out Ruan Qingmu was no competition against them with both of their double insurances toeing the line.

He slightly knitted his brows. “I always feel like we’re missing out on something.”

Fu Songhua scratched his head. “What could it be?”

The boy beside them approached. “That’s right. Their class was all scattered messily around. Didn’t I keep a watch on them? Tch, they’re so pitiful. None of Class 9 went to cheer for their classmates.”

Qin Yuan silently listened and a light suddenly flashed sharply in his pair of extremely beautiful phoenix eyes.

Wrong, he knew it. It suddenly dawned on him why Class 9’s people didn’t cheer and why they seemed to do their own thing during the competition!

Before he had the chance to talk, the announcement had come over from the big loudspeaker in the field.

“Good afternoon, dear referee teachers and athletes! The last competition in the afternoon is about to begin soon. Now, for the finalists of the junior year’s girl 800 meters and sophomore year’s boy 1500 meters, please report to the relevant tracks…”

Class 1’s students stood up together with loud noises. “Let’s go cheer for the class monitor!”

The remaining competitions in the afternoon were all these big events, such as the 1500 meters and 5000 meters which were really too tiring to participate in, so there wasn’t any preliminary round and were directly saved until the last half of the last day, deciding the victory then and there.

There were significantly more people coming to watch and cheer at the check-in point for the sophomore boys’ 1500 meters than anywhere else. In addition to the sophomore students, many of the junior-year girls ran over in groups, waiting excitedly by the side of the track to cheer on the runners.

“Ahh, that must be Ruan Qingmu. He’s even more handsome in-person than from his pictures.”

“His skin is too good and white! I’m a little jealous.”

“Hey, isn’t that girl Li Si from the senior year? What is she doing here too?”

On the edge of the field, a tall, pretty girl with flowing black hair and bright, sweet eyes under her bangs stood quietly alone, not caring about the prying looks around her.

The junior year’s girls were secretly sizing this senior year’s school flower before a faint commotion was heard at the side.

“Ahhh, Qin Yuan is here!” a girl shrieked in a low voice.

Qin Yuan was followed by a few boys from Class 1. Fu Songhua, who didn’t have an event in the afternoon, personally held a small cheerleading flag and cleared the way at the front in obviously high spirits.

Qin Yuan had already changed into his brand new sportswear for the competition. The primary color was pure white with a very dark gold inlay on his chest and the hem of his shorts, occasionally shimmering a little when hit by the sunlight.
