The final lap.

The cheering grew louder and louder, Zhu Xiangxiang clenched her teeth, using all her strength for the final sprint.

She had been dancing since she was little, and her physical fitness was excellent, but running 800 meters was still a bit deadly.

She caught a glimpse of Ming Jing in the corner of her eye, and the distance between them was getting closer and closer. Zhu Xiangxiang felt tense.

She mustered her strength once more, but suddenly her calf cramped and a sharp pain shot through her leg.

A leg cramp!

Zhu Xiangxiang forced herself to keep running, with the finish line just ahead. She had to persevere… just a little more…

However, at that moment, Ming Jing easily overtook her and crossed the finish line first.

Zhu Xiangxiang, with a pale face, crossed the finish line, both hands on her knees, breathing heavily.

She struggled to lift her head and saw Ming Jing standing calmly in place, her eyebrows and eyes serene, her face flushed…

“Ming Jing, three minutes and fifteen seconds.”

“Zhu Xiangxiang, three minutes and nineteen seconds.”

“Both of your scores are pretty good,” praised the sports teacher.

“Especially Ming Jing, you controlled your pace very well. Have you practiced sprinting before?”

Ming Jing shook her head.

The teacher couldn’t help but take a few more glances at her. Compared to the other students who were exhausted after running, she stood out as something special. This girl had talent.

A minute and a half later, Tao Xingxing strolled over, roaring like a muddy swamp, and collapsed on the ground.

Once Zhu Xiangxiang calmed down, she approached Ming Jing and said, “I lost.”

Ming Jing glanced at her, “I didn’t bet with you.”

Zhu Xiangxiang was momentarily speechless, thinking to herself that Ming Jing really was a boring and uninteresting little nun.

The spectators were shocked. Zhu Xiangxiang’s reputation as the school’s beauty was not only because of her good looks, but also because she was well-rounded in all aspects — academics, sports, and talents. In the 800-meter race, almost no other girl could beat her.

No one expected a nameless freshman girl not only to beat Zhu Xiangxiang, but also to win so easily.

In an instant, Ming Jing’s name spread to every corner of the campus.

At noon, when Ming Jing went to the cafeteria for lunch, she finally experienced the feeling of being famous.

“That’s her, the one who beat Zhu Xiangxiang!”

“By the way, I just heard Senior Gao saying there’s a party tonight, can I go?” She blinked her innocent, doe-like eyes, making it hard for anyone to refuse.

Before Jiang Jinchen could speak, Charles Gao waved his hand, “Of course you’re welcome!”

Jiang Jinchen glanced at Charles Gao and said nothing.

“Can I bring Zhao Qin too?”

“No problem, the more the merrier! Bring as many friends as you want.”

“Senior Gao, you’re so nice!” Li Jiaojiao said with stars in her eyes.

People who knew Li Jiaojiao couldn’t help but shiver at this scene, this woman was too terrifying!

Zhu Xiangxiang, carrying her meal tray, watched from a distance, her knuckles gripping the tray turning somewhat green.

Just then, she caught a glimpse of Sun Yi approaching from the corner of her eye. Zhu Xiangxiang had an idea, pretending to look down while walking forward, and bumped into him.

“Ah, I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to…” Zhu Xiangxiang quickly apologized.

Sun Yi was about to get angry, but when he saw that it was Zhu Xiangxiang, his eyes immediately lit up with delight, “Are you hurt?”

Zhu Xiangxiang shook her head, her large watery eyes filled with sympathy.

Sun Yi’s crush on Zhu Xiangxiang was no secret. He had once very publicly pursued her for a time, but after being rejected by her, he gave up the chase.

“Give me your clothes after you change, and I’ll take them to the dry cleaners and give them back to you later.”

Zhu Xiangxiang looked down at his limited-edition sneakers soaked in vegetable soup, “I’ll give you the Chinese Yuan equivalent for the shoes.”

Sun Yi waved his hand, about to say it wasn’t necessary, but then he had a thought and took out his phone, “Then let’s add each other on WeChat.”

After successfully adding Zhu Xiangxiang on WeChat, Sun Yi strutted away, feeling quite pleased with himself.

At that moment, Situ Lin waved to him, “Old Sun, over here.”

Sun Yi hesitated for a moment, “Xiangxiang, do you have plans tonight?”

This was an excellent opportunity to get closer to his goddess.

Zhu Xiangxiang raised her puzzled face, “What’s going on?”

“If you really want to make it up to me, accompany me to a gathering tonight,” Sun Yi said.

Zhu Xiangxiang could feel her heart race. She’d placed the right bet.

Zhu Xiangxiang hesitated, showing a troubled expression, “But…”

Sun Yi, however, didn’t give her a chance to refuse, “It’s settled then. Wait for me at the school gate after class.”

With that, he hurriedly rushed to Situ Lin.

Zhu Xiangxiang stood in place, the corners of her lips slowly curling into a hidden smile.
