Secretly Liking Him - Chapter 31

Chapter 31

In the time that followed, Gu Xun could be said to have thrown himself whole-heartedly into this matter of practicing the relay race.

Seeing him so full of energy, Shen Yanzhi didn’t have any objections either; accompanying him to practice a bit didn’t take much effort.

The other two buddies doing the relay saw that there was hope of breaking the record, so their enthusiasm was also very high—who wouldn’t want to chip into this kind of thing where you could show off?

On the night before the sports meet, Gu Xun was so excited that he couldn’t quite sleep. If it weren’t for the bed being too small, he wished he could roll around on the bed.

Shen Yanzhi was helpless and asked, “Are you nervous, or are you happy?”

Over there, Gu Xun finally quieted down for a moment. He mulled it over himself before replying: “A bit of both, I guess…”

As long as he thought about his name being lined up together with Shen Yanzhi’s, he felt so happy, yet also so nervous.

The nervousness was, of course, because if things didn’t go well, this matter could easily vanish into thin air. Although they felt it was perfectly solid that they could break it when they practiced, who knew if they would perform poorly or something once they actually got on the field.

Shen Yanzhi reached out his hand and rubbed his head: “Don’t think about it, hurry up and sleep, otherwise you won’t have energy tomorrow. What will you do if you can’t run?”

Hearing this, Gu Xun thought that’s true, too. In case he didn’t rest well and his condition wasn’t good, wouldn’t that be pulling his own leg!

Then he quickly closed his eyes, only realizing after closing his eyes that Shen Yanzhi had just rubbed his head.

Gu Xun felt incredibly happy again, pulling the quilt up to cover his face and laugh.

Shen Yanzhi felt him laughing and instantly found it a bit amusing too—was being able to break a school record really worth being happy about?

With great effort, he waited until Gu Xun finished laughing, and only then did Shen Yanzhi repeat: “Hurry up and sleep.”

The smile on Gu Xun’s face had not yet faded as he returned a lively: “Goodnight, A-Yan!”

Shen Yanzhi also returned to him: “Goodnight.”

…

Waking up the next day, Gu Xun felt it out himself—his spirit was very full, and all the various conditions of his body felt good, making him instantly joyful.

Shen Lan had already become very used to her son smiling foolishly over nothing, so she asked: “What time do you guys get dismissed from school today for the sports meet?”

Gu Xun turned his face to look at Shen Yanzhi; King Min seemed to have said it, but he hadn’t remembered it.
