100 Meter Champion (1)

Several Class 9’s boys immediately laughed out loud. “Fuck, Ruan-ge. Your idiom is so good, but why did you score so low on the Chinese exam?”

The girls from other classes also covered their mouths and burst out laughing. Why didn’t they realize before that Class 9’s sports representative was so amusing? His level of trash-talking was so good that it choked those in Class 6!

Lin Hua’s nose seemed to be emitting steam due to his anger and his body grew tense as a result. He charged at Ruan Qingmu to knock him down, but the passing referee teacher grabbed hold of him before he could make a move.

“W-Who dares to pick a quarrel?” The PE teacher was more robust than both of them and he stretched his hand out to point at the two boys. “If you have the guts, fight for real with all you have on the field. Showing off away from the field can’t be considered a damn skill!”

Lin Hua resentfully clenched his teeth and gestured a middle finger at Ruan Qingmu from a spot where the teacher couldn’t see him. “Waiting for you to kneel, damn cripple!”

Ruan Qingmu lazily waved his hand in an incredibly polite manner. “Waiting for you, grandson.”

In the school broadcast station, the senior year’s senior sister looked at the several draft sheets in her hands and turned her head to ask the Youth League’s teacher. “Then, shall we use this manuscript sheet? The first place in the sophomore year’s boy long jump, Fu Songhua, who was the first champion decided in the morning?”

The Youth League’s teacher was a young man, who had just graduated two years from university, and he smiled at her while nodding his head. “Fine, let’s use that.”

As he spoke, his gaze fell onto a manuscript on the desk.

A girl from one class hurriedly handed it over just now and had even specially printed it out, and the pages looked fresh and tidy.

He casually glanced over the documents and suddenly gripped the pieces of paper close to his face.

As he hastily looked at several lines, his eyes became increasingly bright and he turned his head to shout at the broadcasting girl, “Wait, use this instead!”

The girl reached out to accept the manuscript he handed over and was slightly stunned. “Teacher, are we not reporting about the champion? This manuscript only talks about the boy who got third place.”

The Youth League’s teacher repeatedly shook his head. “It’s too tiring to hear about the champion’s report and there are still many chances to report about Fu Songhua. This manuscript’s point of view is good and I feel it’s more interesting than reporting about the first place. It’s definitely worth being broadcast!”

Although the manuscript wasn’t very long, it was well-written and the writing style was also passionate. It was clearly an excellent piece of publicity manuscript writing.

A senior sister’s sweet voice sounded from the big loudspeaker in the air, “Hello, everyone. We will select a manuscript from one class to be read: <<Breaking free from the cage and blossoming into a full bloom – recording how Class 9’s Student Fang Li went on the field for the first time>>…..”

Fu Songhua dazedly raised his head and suddenly punched Fang Li’s shoulder in excitement at the sandbox’s side. “Hurry up and listen to it. It’s your class’ manuscript, especially praising you!”

All the sophomore boys bent over with bated breaths on the sprint track. As the gun went off and the smoke rose, eight athletic figures dashed madly!

Loud cheers sounded from the spectators beside the race track.

Not far away, Tang Tiantian, who had just handed the manuscript, desperately rushed back and gestured at Niu Xiaoqing, who had just finished the girl’s shot put, to come over.

Meanwhile, a tall youth silently stood behind the crowd at the finishing line and looked at Ruan Qingmu at the starting line from afar with a deep gaze and clenched fists on his side.

The 100 meters only needed a dozen or more seconds to finish. The boys took off and simultaneously dashed madly toward the red line in front of them.

Ruan Qingmu’s lean and athletic figure looked like lightning and a sharp arrow in the middle track, and Lin Hua, who was two tracks away from him, went forward and touched the finishing line at the same time as Ruan Qingmu!

The slightly raised red line stuck to the front of Ruan Qingmu’s pure black vest and was carried several dozen meters before falling slowly to the ground.

On the other side, Lin Hua was similarly carried forward by inertia. It took him a long time to stop, panting fiercely and turning his head to look hard at Ruan Qingmu.

The students watching at the side of the track repeatedly shouted, fiercely shouting cheers. But when the last second had passed, there was suddenly a brief moment of silence.

“Who… Who was first in the end?”

“Fuck! Was it Ruan Qingmu who followed behind Lin Hua closely?”

“Why do I feel a little dazzled and think that Lin Huan was slower?”

Tang Tiantian, Niu Xiaoqing, and several girls hurried over and tightly clasped each other’s hands. “Was our class’ sports representative the winner? Ahhh, why do I feel like I’m dreaming?”

Several referee teachers tensely gathered together and flashed the stopwatches in their hands to the main referee. The assisting student referee at the side also followed up and reported the results they recorded one by one.

Ruan Qingmu stopped on his track, slightly bent down, and held his knee while gazing behind the crowd.

He had just finished a fierce 100 meters run and was still panting slightly. His Adam’s apple was wriggling lightly. The sunlight shone over him, making his porcelain white face seem to be enveloped in a faint golden light.

He didn’t even look at the referee’s side but raised his head and accurately found a person amidst the crowd.

After that, he extended his hand, flicked his slender fingertips, and stirred the red ribbon on his chest, the corner of his mouth showing an arrogant smirk.

He stretched out his index finger toward Qin Yuan and slowly shook it while mouthing with his mouth.

“See you at the 1500 meters event.”
