Yan Cheng grew even more nervous, but as they reached the office, seeing people there, he relaxed. The English teacher was surprised to see them. "Where is Li Wei?" he asked. "Oh, Teacher, he went to the restroom, so I came," Wang Muman replied softly, almost inaudibly to Teacher Li. "Are all the assignments submitted?" Wang Muman nodded. "Alright, thank you for your trouble, you can go back," the teacher said, letting them leave.
"You don't need to thank me so much; it's what I should do. I saw you at Mingyu's, having to run 800 meters. Can you still run it now?" Yan Cheng changed the subject. "Why are you asking me this, just like Xiao Le? Do I really look that delicate?" Wang Muman, with nothing in her hands, had been walking fast but stopped to ask. "I didn't think so, it's just my impression of girls, and you're also..." Yan Cheng hesitated to say it, stopping his steps as well. "Don't worry, I ran in middle school too. I'm very healthy," Wang Muman said with a smile, then quickened her pace. "Let's go, we'll be late if we don't hurry." Yan Cheng saw the figure ahead, her hair flying, and quickly caught up.
Back in the classroom, they returned to their seats and began the struggle of the next evening study session. "I say, you took a bit too long to come back this time, Manman. Evening study has already started," He Lele whispered. "We talked about some things," Wang Muman leaned in to explain. "Oh, oh, oh." Wang Muman resumed writing the troublesome geography assignment. She finished it with scribbles, unsure if it was correct. Geography was always the subject with the most uncertain answers for her, difficult to grasp. Although tomorrow was the sports meet and they could relax a bit, the midterm exams were only half a month away, and she wasn't confident about her geography.
The next day was the sports meet. It was supposed to be a pleasant weekend, but they had to attend the sports meet out of respect. They could arrange their time as they pleased, and there were no evening study sessions. He Lele expressed her sadness about not having her phone for the weekend, but thankfully, she had friends to chat with, otherwise, she would have surely been bored to death. The first event was He Lele's, the 50-meter dash. After checking in, the race began. This race was simple and had to be divided into several heats. Wang Muman saw that although He Lele ate a lot usually, she was quite fast when running. She didn't even have time to cheer. Zhang Jiayi, with her camera, was taking pictures of the class members competing, capturing beautiful moments. However, she made He Lele look rather fierce in the photos. "Xiao Le will definitely scold you if she sees this," Wang Muman said to Zhang Jiayi, laughing heartily at the photo.
After finishing her race and winning a bronze medal, He Lele happily returned to drink water, showing off her achievement with great pride. But as soon as she saw Zhou Mingyu beside her wearing a silver medal, her expression changed instantly. "How did you get that?" "I got it in the men's 50-meter dash!" Zhou Mingyu noticed the bronze medal around her neck and said smugly. He Lele immediately felt indignant and wanted to run again. Wang Muman stopped her, saying, "The race is over, don't be silly." He Lele turned her head away from the silver medal and snorted. Zhou Mingyu didn't mind; after all, he had won the silver medal, which was better than hers. He walked to the basketball hoop and beckoned Zhang Jiayi to take pictures. It turned out to be Yan Cheng's competition. This was very easy for him, and he effortlessly won the gold medal. Wang Muman could only watch the basketball go through the hoop, unable to see Yan Cheng clearly. She decided to sit at the class's resting area as a guard, as her competition was in the afternoon.
