Yin Ruyun grumbled inwardly, thinking her instructor was truly wicked.
With so many classes standing at attention in the school, why wasn't he making them do the same?
Running was so tiring!
Wouldn't it be better to just stand still peacefully? Why the running?
Her stamina was already poor, and she was feeling resentful, so she didn't put any effort into the run.
The result was that Yin Ruyun's running speed kept decreasing.
She had started at the very back of the group, and as she ran slower and slower, she gradually fell behind the main body of the troop.
Seeing that she couldn't catch up anyway, Yin Ruyun decided to adopt a "dead pig not afraid of boiling water" attitude and began to dawdle along.
Su Wurang naturally saw what this girl was doing, but he merely frowned and didn't urge her on.
After a while, Yin Ruyun put on a show of about to collapse, staggering towards Su Wurang.
"Instructor, my health is poor, I can't run anymore! If I keep running, I'll faint!"
Su Wurang frowned in disgust. Such a big person, at such a slow pace, and after only running for a short while?
Looking at her face, which wasn't flushed and her breathing wasn't labored despite not running seriously, he knew her pretense of being unable to run and about to faint was fake.
Did she think he was an idiot?
"Continue!"
Su Wurang didn't say another word to Yin Ruyun, simply using two words to reject her request.
Yin Ruyun used a trembling voice, speaking in a sweet, soft tone, "Instructor~~~~"
In past interactions, Yin Ruyun had tried this tone countless times when dealing with men, and it had always been effective.
Unfortunately for her, the person she encountered was Su Wurang, a straightforward fellow. Even with her most charming voice, it had no effect.
"Continue running!"
After speaking, Su Wurang quickened his pace and ran ahead for a bit.
Yin Ruyun stomped her foot in annoyance.
But what else could she do? She still had to keep running, she couldn't just stand there motionless!
She had a premonition that if she truly stood still, the outcome would be something she wouldn't want to see.
Because of Yin Ruyun's actions, the entire class had to run eight kilometers today.
Su Xiaotian was also troubled by this issue.
Eight kilometers, for her and some of the more physically fit students, was manageable as long as the pace wasn't too fast.
However, for some of the girls from the city, running eight kilometers in one go, she wasn't sure if their bodies could handle it.
If there were a few with poor health, something could happen, and that would be troublesome.
This could affect her brother's future, as it wouldn't look good if the instructor ignored the students' physical condition and forced them to run more.
Especially after Su Xiaotian saw Yin Ruyun's behavior, she felt even more that this matter needed foresight.
She didn't know if someone like Yin Ruyun would try to frame them.
If Yin Ruyun were to frame her brother, he wouldn't be able to explain himself even if he had a thousand mouths.
Su Xiaotian's mind was racing as she ran.
Perhaps because she was thinking so intently, Su Xiaotian's pace unconsciously quickened.
Su Xiaotian ran ahead, with the classmates behind her following.
At first, Su Xiaotian's pace was slow, and everyone could keep up with her.
But by the third lap, Su Xiaotian had actually started to accelerate, and the speed was indeed not something these untrained students could handle.
The boys, perhaps unwilling to be outdone by a young girl, were still gritting their teeth and persevering.
But the girls' stamina was generally not as good, and these academically inclined girls had, for the most part, neglected physical training due to their studies.
Soon, some of the girls couldn't keep up!
But the classmates knew that Su Xiaotian was only thirteen years old, strictly speaking, she was still a child.
Since a young girl was persevering, they couldn't just give up.
Su Wurang noticed this problem and shook his head with a mixture of pampering and helplessness.
His sister's stamina was indeed good, but if these students continued at this pace, there would likely be problems.
Su Wurang decisively ran to the side of the main group and began to lead the pace.
The students who had lost their rhythm due to Su Xiaotian's acceleration quickly adjusted themselves due to Su Wurang's timely appearance and resumed their previous running rhythm.
Yin Ruyun wanted to rest, but seeing that everyone else was running tirelessly, and knowing that Su Wurang would not agree, she could only continue to trudge forward.
Unknowingly, Yin Ruyun was lapped by other classmates, then lapped again...
Some classmates wanted to urge Yin Ruyun to run faster, but their throats were already parched, how could they speak?
Moreover, after Yin Ruyun's performance that morning, which was an intentional attempt to mislead others into misunderstanding Su Xiaotian, and after being exposed by Su Xiaotian, many people didn't like her very much.
Coupled with the fact that because of Yin Ruyun, they were now to run an extra eight kilometers, an additional four laps, how could they possibly like Yin Ruyun?
Yin Ruyun, however, was still oblivious and even whispered for others to slow down.
This wasn't for the good of the other classmates, but because she was worried that if the other classmates finished, the training would be increased.
Poor Yin Ruyun didn't know that the training items had already been decided, and after the run, there would be an hour of standing at attention training.
She didn't know, but the others did.
It had to be said that these classmates were all clear-sighted.
They clearly understood that while the instructor was handsome, he was indeed a serious person and would not abandon the subsequent training just because they were slow.
By dawdling, they were most likely to miss dinner that evening.
In fact, the situation was similar in every class. Some students arrived on time, but there were always a few who lagged behind in each class.
Therefore, many classes were given extra laps.
As of now, not a single class had stopped.
Several classes, after completing their assigned tasks, had begun overtime.
"Come on, classmates, we've run five laps, and there are only three more to complete today's running task!"
After Su Xiaotian shouted this, she intended to look back at her companions, but found that she was already very far from them.
And now, the group she had been leading was actually being led by her brother.
Su Xiaotian felt deeply embarrassed.
She wanted to wait for the other classmates where she was, but looking at the distance, she decided to catch up directly.
Because of this thought, her pace quickened, and in a short while, Su Xiaotian caught up with the main group.
"Come on, classmates, we're almost done with today's task. After completing the first phase of training, we can rest!"
Su Xiaotian found that her classmates were becoming increasingly dispirited and, enduring the dryness and soreness in her throat, shouted loudly.
The classmates in the class were quite surprised to hear Su Xiaotian's encouraging voice.
