Studying Is Such A Damn Thing - Chapter 11
Not long after the 3,000-meter race ended, it was time for the relay. Song Chaolian had just finished a 1,000-meter run and was already gearing up for the relay. You Cheche couldn’t help but marvel internally, thinking that being an Alpha really came with impressive stamina.
Qi Yuan followed Song Chaolian, while Shen Yiyi and Tang Yuwei chatted behind them as they all headed toward the check-in area.
“Yiyi! Go for it!” You Cheche shouted from the sidelines. Meanwhile, Li Yuyu was silently cheering for Tang Yuwei in his heart.
As soon as the whistle blew, the sports representative bolted out. He quickly surged into third place, “Whoa! The sports rep is incredible!!!”
The 400-meter leg was over in a flash. Shen Yiyi took the baton from the representative, spun around, and sprinted away. Running at full tilt, she pulled level with the runner in first place. “Yiyi!!!! Go!!!! If you finish this, you’ll be rank number one in the next monthly exams!!!!!”
Shen Yiyi heard this from a distance and pushed even harder. With a sharp clap, she passed the baton to Song Chaolian. Song Chaolian took off like a shot, snatching the lead and pulling two body lengths ahead of the competition. This time, it wasn’t just Class 4 cheering, the entire school was erupting.
“School hunk!!!! Male god!!!!!” “Ahhh, he’s so handsome!!!!!” “My heart is fluttering, oh my god!!!!!” “Lian-Yi forever!!!!!”
Hearing the “Lian-Yi” ship name, You Cheche nodded in deep internal agreement.
Tang Yuwei received the baton from Song Chaolian and charged forward. You Cheche glanced at Li Yuyu next to him, the boy was watching his crush’s every move with a gaze full of focus and tenderness.
The final leg belonged to Qi Yuan. He shot out like an arrow released from a bow.
“School delinquent!!!! So cool!!! Ahhhh!!!!” “Qi Yuan, my god, I love you!!!!!” “Brother Yuan is too badass!!!!” “Who is the flashiest man in No. 2 High?! Tell me!!!!”
The entire field roared back, “Qi Yuan!!!!!!”
Hearing the crowd, Qi Yuan let out a smirk and pulled ten body lengths ahead of the runner-up. He finished the race with ease, not even breaking a sweat.
You Cheche quickly ran down to the field, bringing Li Yuyu along to hand out water to them.
“I can’t unscrew it, help me out, please?” Qi Yuan said, acting pitiful. “I’m seriously done with you…” You Cheche replied speechlessly. He twisted the cap open and handed it to Qi Yuan, while onlookers below began to gossip.
“Do you think Qi Yuan and You Cheche are dating? They’re so close.” “Right? I mean, he’s the school delinquent, yet he’s letting a Beta open his water and even acting cute about not being able to do it!”
“Mhm, but they really are a great match… in terms of family background, looks, grades, and personality, they fit perfectly!” “Then say no more, Yuan-Che forever!!”
The six of them heard the comments and smiled in unison, though each smile carried a different meaning.
The long jump was about to start. You Cheche grabbed a handful of chips from Li Yuyu’s bag, stuffed them into his mouth, and mumbled, “Can Qi Yuan actually do the long jump? Why don’t I believe it?”
Song Chaolian overheard and responded, “Heh, him? He’s just here to show off. Whether he actually pulls it off is another story.” At those words, You Cheche laughed. He thought to himself that it made sense, after all, “Narcissist Qi” wasn’t a nickname given for nothing.
Everyone watched as Qi Yuan crouched, swung his arms, and executed a perfect jump with an outstanding result. “Wow… Brother Yuan is too cool!!!!”
Seeing this, You Cheche felt the same. Hearing the cheers, he silently thought the word “impressive.”
Qi Yuan really was a powerhouse.
Unsurprisingly, Class 4 took first place across almost every event. They headed off to collect their trophies in their usual flashy, confident style.
