Chapter 27 Sports Day

  Yan Jing University's annual sports meeting has arrived, and each grade and class have made sufficient preparations. Row upon row of teams gathered on the field, with school leaders and teachers seated in different areas, waiting for this year's sports meeting to begin.

  On the rostrum, the two principals of Yenching University, as well as the directors and other staff members, were all key figures in this sports meeting. Each of them was extremely excited, but what they were looking forward to was not the performance of the sophomores to seniors, because those students had already been seen before. Only this year's freshmen were what the school cared about, after all, China is based on a combination of education in all aspects, and sports are no longer inferior to literature.

  "Principal Duan, do you think there will be any newcomers this year who can surpass the old students?" asked a man in his fifties.

  "It's tough, Lao Sheng has many strong athletes in sports, and eight out of ten sports projects have records that have been maintained throughout the province. Take Li Gang from senior year 4 for example, his 3000-meter long run training has never stopped, plus several old students from junior year 3 and sophomore year 2, each one is very powerful, I think there shouldn't be anyone among the freshmen in junior year 1 who can break their records."

  Principal Duan said, "Vice Principal Jiang, I heard that Huo Tingyu and the others are still in Hawaii. Although they won't make it to this sports meeting, you must ensure that they appear on time for next month's club competition!"

  The two principals called each other by their surnames, with Principal Duan being the principal and Principal Jiang being the vice-principal. The two principals were about the same age.

  Deputy Principal Jiang said helplessly, "Principal Duan, you also know that the four kids, Huo Tingyu and the others, have never followed the school's rules and regulations. They don't come to school, what can I do about it?"

  "This is none of my business, but you should know that next month's martial arts competition will be much more important than today's. At that time, big shots from the whole city and even the whole province will attend, including leaders from other universities. We must show off all the students' talents, and among them, four people are particularly important: one is the president of the Karate Club, one is the president of the Judo Club, one is the president of the Taekwondo Club, and most importantly, there is also a general president. If these four don't show up, it will be impossible to explain, especially for Yi Tianya, who is not only the general president but also the vice chairman of the Student Union. So, you must think of a way to get them back."

  Principal Jiang can't say anything else, such a difficult thing can only be handled by this vice principal himself!

  "Alright, I'll try my best!"

  "It's not about trying one's best, it's about being certain... Alright, let's put the martial arts competition aside for now and announce the start of today's sports day instead."

  ~~~~~

  Chu Zi Feng, because of his height, stood at the back of the class team. Xu Fei Fei led all the classmates to the venue. After the opening ceremony was over, the competition officially began.

  "Could all contestants in the competition come here for a moment."

  Xu Feifei held a list in her hand, facing the dozen or so students who had participated in the competition project in the whole class, and said: "Everyone should cheer up and not look like they haven't eaten."

  More than a dozen contestants, including Chu Zifeng, all straightened their backs. But strangely, among these contestants, why didn't I see Qi Bai and the other two?

  Chu Zi Feng's eyes scanned around and finally found that Qi Bai and the other two guys were actually sitting on the grass beside them, playing cards, completely ignoring the next match.

  "Hey, what are you three up to? The match is about to start!"

  Chu Zi Feng called out in a low voice to Qi Bai San, but Qi Bai San pretended not to hear him.

  "Old K is a pair."

  "I'm going to eat you up."

  "Huh? It seems like someone is calling us?"

  "Is there? Old Three, it's just your illusion. Never mind, I'm old 2!"

  Xu Feifei has read out the list of contestants participating in the competition, and all the contestants have responded one by one.

  "The Wind of Chu."

  Hearing Xue Fei calling him, Chu Zifeng couldn't care about Qi Bai and the other two anymore, saying: "I'm here."

  "Zi Feng, I didn't expect you to have such a strong sense of collectivism. During military training, I heard that your body wasn't in good condition, but you still participated in the competition, which is worthy of praise."

  Chu Zi Feng smiled wryly, he didn't want to participate either. If it weren't for Qi Bai and the others being like sticky glue, he probably wouldn't have stayed in school today. Having come all the way to Yanjing City, he hadn't even had a chance to explore yet. The school's sports meet had never been of interest to Chu Zi Feng since his freshman year, and staying behind wouldn't make any difference to the outcome of the competition, so it wasn't worth wasting time here.

  "Teacher Xu, I'm also a member of the class, right? Of course, of course, haha!"

  Xu FeiFei smiled and said, "However, Zifeng, you must be mentally prepared because the 100-meter hurdles is the most difficult event. Due to this year's temporary adjustments, the 100-meter hurdles will be held after the relay race, which means it's the last event and also the key to winning or losing. Moreover, I heard that other classes participating in this event are all champions from high school, so your task is extremely heavy."

  As soon as Chu Zifeng heard Xue Feifei's words, he immediately jumped up and asked loudly: "Wait a minute. Coach Xue, I'm not the 400-meter relay race, how did it become the 100-meter hurdle race?"

  Chu Zi Feng was confused for a moment, that day Qi Bai Ming clearly said he only needed to participate in the last relay race, how did it become the most difficult event now.

  "Chu, I just praised you, are you thinking of backing out now? Let me tell you, the list has already been submitted to the leader and it can't be changed. Besides, this is something you signed off on yourself."

  Xu Feifei walked up to Chu Zifeng and showed him a paper signed by him.

  Chu Zi Feng only now realized that he had been deceived by Qi Bai and the other two. Those three guys didn't participate in any competition, but made him sign up for the most difficult one, leaving him confused and bewildered.

  The three of you just wait and see!

  Chu Zi Feng was thinking to himself, when suddenly Qi Bai and the other two felt a chill run down their spines. Ding Yun said: "I don't know why, but I feel really uncomfortable all of a sudden, it's as if someone is cursing me."

  "I agree, I agree, but don't mind it, even an idiot can tell who's cursing us!"

  "Alright, everyone go warm up, the competition has already started."

  All students have dispersed, and the game on the field has also started.

  "Zi Feng, here, I am here."

  Xiao Jing's voice came from behind Chu Zifeng, and as soon as he turned around, the girl had already run over.

  "I heard you also participated in the competition, are you confident of winning the championship?"

  Chu Zi sighed and said, "What do you think?"

  "Your body is not well, why sign up for it? Isn't this looking for trouble?"

  "I didn't want to either, it's all because of those three bastards plotting against me."

  "Don't overexert yourself then, just run casually."

  Saying so, Xiao Jing handed a bottle of nutritional quickline to Chu Zifeng and said: "I'll definitely cheer for you later."

  On the other side of the field, Wu Xiaoai glared fiercely at Chu Zifeng and shouted: "What a shameless couple! They're so affectionate in public, aren't they afraid of being bombed?!

  "Xiao Ai, you seem a bit jealous." Qingqing said with a smile.

  "Nonsense, I'd rather see him dead."

  "Alright, alright, let's not talk about Chu Zi Feng anymore. I've brought the camera you asked me to bring. What do you plan to do?"

  Wu Xiao Ai sneered, saying: "Chu Zi Feng that kid also dares to participate in the 100-meter hurdles. This time I must record his embarrassing appearance and use it to threaten him, see if he still dares to ask me to buy food for him... Qing Qing, soon Xiao Jing will gather people to cheer for Chu Zi Feng, you also gather people to boo him. I not only want to record his embarrassing appearance but also make him unable to get off the stage during the competition, let everyone know that this provincial high school exam champion is actually a softie who can't even run."

  "Alright, leave it to me," Qingqing smiled. "I'll gather all your guards and have them compete with Chu Zifeng today."
