Chapter 44 – Willing to Gamble

Bai Huai already has that look on his face that would make anyone afraid to come near him. But now that he is unhappy, his whole persona became more distant and indifferent, which directly lowered the temperature to the raging marathon path.

He stopped at a distance, in front of Jian Songyi. “Lao Bai is looking for you.” He said coldly. 

They were both tall that the group of 1.6-meter girls would not be able to stop them at all. On the other hand, Jian Songyi could clearly see that Bai Huai was unhappy about something and a little inexplicable. So when he walked towards him at once, the girls were sensible enough to get out of his way.

While holding several bottles of ice water, Jian Songyi walked up to Bai Huai before asking: “Do you want some water?”

Bai Huai glanced his way. “Are you being serious?”

“Huh?”

Who gave you the water?”

“It’s just a water bottle. It’s only two yuan in the snack bar, right?”

Is this really about the price point?

Bai Huai looked at Jian Songyi with a hopeless look plastered on his face. “The ladies gave it to you to be nice. Can’t you see that?”

“But I am an Omega while they’re also Omega. What’s the use of them being nice to me?”

“Do they know that you are an Omega?”

“…..”

“You’re a fool.” Bai Huai mercilessly debunked the truth. He took a bottle of water from Jian Songyi’s arms just to throw it in Xu Jiaxing’s direction.

By the time Jian Songyi came to his senses, there was no bottle left for him to drink.

“Do you want me to die of thirst?”

Bai Huai handed him a water bottle. “Next time, don’t drink water given by anyone else.”

“Why are you against drinking so much? I know Lin Yuanyuan. She is the one delivering the water. I have helped her before. She is my friend now. Do you still think that she will pour poison into my drink?” Jian Songyi looked at him completely unconvinced. 

And so he tried opening the lid. He tried to unscrew the cap and then screw it back. It didn’t even move. It was a little awkward, especially when Jian Songyi tried to unscrew the water bottle’s cup again.

Bai Huai grabbed its body and clasped the water bottle’s lid in an instant without much of an expression. “Fool.”

He then picked up the camera, turned around, and then walked away.

Like always, Bai Huai is cold to come and cold to go, leaving Jian Songyi on his own to flare off his annoyance when he saw the activity Lu Qi Feng would be participating in, so he pulled by. “Did he really just scold me and called me a fool twice? Does he want to break up our relationship?”

“Drink it and see if the water is not sour.”

Jian Songyi took a sip as he told him. He raised his eyebrows at him. “It’s not sour.”

“Oh, fool.”

Jian Songyi is really about to lose his temper. 

Lu Qi Feng titled his chin: “Look since Bai Huai was voted up to be the school grass, we could all expect that his popularity is so high. He didn’t even participate in any contest and yet he is receiving water and towels from the girls. Tsk.”

And as if on cue, a girl walked all the way to Bai Huai’s direction. The girl was quite beautiful. She had heard Xu Jiaxing and Yang Yue mention her before. She looks like a sophomore student in Nanwai.

She looks gentle and generous. While displaying a small angelic and strange sweet smile, she holds out a towel, wanting Bai Huai to wipe his sweat with it.

And Bai Huai, who was expected to have a frozen-to-death expression and iceberg face, unexpectedly etched a smile upon his very lips. Although his smile was shallow, it’s still a polite smile no one gets to see frequently. 

Jian Songyi suddenly feel as if he was suffocating. 

This fool. He is a cold-ass, but when in front of a beautiful Omega, he is suddenly a polite and gentle warm man.

Rubbish.

Jian Songyi turned his head and gulped a few mouthfuls of water silently.

Luckily, Lu Qi Feng is really sensible and has great emotional intelligence. Because of that, he could clearly analyze Jian Songyi’s feelings just by a glance. With that, he jokingly asked: “Is the water too sour to drink?” 

Jian Songyi kept a cold face and didn’t give him a reply. 

Lu Qi Feng smiled gloatingly and then patted him on the shoulder: “Enjoy your water. I’ll be going to Zhuo Luo.”

“Zhuo Luo is in Class Six. What do you want from him every day when you are in Class Two?”

“He has low blood sugar. I send him chocolates.”

“I also have hypoglycemia. Why don’t you give me some too? We are all brothers here. Why are you being partial? Are you two isolating me?”

Lu Qi Feng paused and turned his back to face him. “Haven’t I told you before that I like Zhuo Luo and am chasing him?”

“?”

“!”

Jian Songyi suddenly remembered that Bai Huai told him about it. That Lu Qi Feng received Zhuo Luo’s first kiss. That son of a bitch. At that time, the double sense of betrayal immediately became triple. And because of this, Jian Songyi’s mood worsens than before.

But he quickly realized that there was something more problematic about that narrative, so he quickly asked: “You two kissed before you caught him?”

Lu Qi Feng looked at him indifferently: “Yes, I drank too much. It’s not something I am proud of since I think it’s not very human-like, but I forced kisses upon him. Is that so wrong? Is it not possible?”

“Didn’t Zhuo Luo get mad at you? Didn’t he ignore you?”

“Oh. He was so drunk at that time too that he was literally in pieces. So, I told him that he took the initiative and now feels very sorry for me.”

“You old beast.”

“Thank you.”

“No, my friend for so many years, how can you do it? Now that you know each other so well, can you tell whether it is Brotherhood or love? ” Jian Songyi was a little confused.

Lu Qifeng looked at the piece of wood in front of him and sighed: “Of course, I can tell.” Let me tell you this, you and I are brothers. And since you and Bai Huai have a good relationship, Bai Huai also became my brother. But if one day, there is a man like Bai Huai around Zhuo Luo, he will end up being my enemy. Do you understand? “

Jian Songyi straightened it out and felt that there was something wrong with this example.

Without waiting for Jian Songyi to retort, Lu Qi Feng had caught a glimpse of Bai Huai coming their way, so he spoke first. “Okay, I’ll go first. You can taste for yourself whether the water is really sour or not.”

Sour.

Jian Songyi glanced over at Bai Huai who is walking toward him. “Who sent that towel? Are you finally open to anything?” He couldn’t help but ask sarcastically.

Jian Songyi’s voice doesn’t sound angry, but his tone is dripping with so much sourness as if he had drank a pitcher of lemonade.

Bai Huai, who was not in a good mood earlier, was suddenly in a good mood. He held a towel in his hand and then wrapped it on Jian Songyi’s sweaty head to rub it hard afterward.

“I told her I’d take it. It’s for you.”

“Oh,” Jian Songyi suddenly felt that the water was not sour again, and then he tasted that Bai Huai was doing something wrong. “What are you doing?”

“Wipe your sweat or you’ll catch a cold as soon as the cold wind blows.”

“Oh.”

Bai Huai’s movements were gentle and meticulous, and Jian Songyi seemed to take them for granted, but he suddenly thought of Lu Qi Feng.

Can Lu Qi Feng wipe his sweat? Impossible.

Is it possible for Bai Huai to wipe his sweat? Maybe.

Will Jian Songyi let Lu Qi Feng wipe his sweat? Impossible.

Will Jian Songyi let Bai Huai wipe his sweat? Maybe.

Jian Songyi’s logical thinking has always been good, but recently, it always gets stuck making his deduction go back and forth. With this, he is unable to even come up with the standard answer. 

Jian Songyi can only stand on his spot like a statue and let Bai Huai blow his hair.

Then he suddenly asked, “Bai Huai, will you wipe Xu Jiaxing’s sweat?”

“If he is the reincarnation of my ancestor, you can consider one or two.”

 “……”

Jian Songyi had chosen to shut himself up.

 The three-kilometer run is the last event of the games. The sophomores and the third-year students stand together. It’s a total of 14 classes without the liberal arts. And so, the final number of participants in total is 22 people. They are all standing in a row at the starting line.

Jian Songyi expected that the First Class’ sports committee would end up withering, but he did not expect that he would be down so soon. So, they had no choice. Yu Ziguo took Xu Jiaxing’s place after he twisted his foot in the long jump.

Looking at the thin bamboo pole jumping around behind Jian Songyi, Bai Huai was a little worried: “Maybe I’ll do it.”

Yu Ziguo patted his chest and said with a smirk, “it’s all right. I just won second place in the high jump this morning, which is enough to prove that my athletic talent is amazing. Don’t worry!”

“Let Yu Ziguo come.”

Jian Songyi knew that Yu Ziguo had always wanted to do something to prove that he was not superfluous. Like his daily actions of dumping trash bins in the classroom and cleaning the blackboard trough. He wanted to contribute to the class and try his best to repay the kindness he received in Class one.

Compared with this thought, the rest is less important.

Bai Huai is aware of that too, so he lets it go. “Okay then.”

Jian Songyi then winked over at him and then placed his finger against his lips before raising it again. “Put ten thousand hearts and wait for Brother Song to return triumphantly.”

He was only trying to tease Bai Huai, but he accidentally knocked over a hundred fan girls. 

“Ah! Brother Song blew me a kiss! “

“Ass! It’s obviously for me! “

“Go to hell! That was mine! “

“I’m dead, aah! Brother Song, come on! We are waiting for your triumphant return! “

“I’m going to lie at the finish line! Let the pine cub step on my body to victory! “

……….

“…..”

Bai Huai picked up the camera as he could not help but laugh. “You’re feeling a bit flirtatious for a run?”

Jian Songyi scrunched his nose. “Why are there so many people?”

There is indeed a large crowd of onlookers.

After all, three thousand meters consisting of seven and a half laps is no easy feat. It is very brave to sign up for this event and participate. Only half of the players can actually finish the race with persistence while the one to get the first place is acknowledged as the real man.

In previous years, the champions were all top Alpha, with the exception of last year, which was taken away by Jian Songyi, who is not yet divided.

This year, Jian Songyi is still undivided, but the other Alphas are already very mature Alpha. Because of this, they expect the game to become more intense that the onlookers are particularly large.

Of course, it is only rational suspense. Emotionally, people are willing to believe that this year’s king is still Jian Songyi.

There is no other reason, just because he is handsome, after all, many people are not here to watch the game.

So there was a large crowd of spectators on the playground. Except for the other participating classes who were cheering for their own class, all of them were chanting the Jian Songyi’s name.

Forget it, there are even people who abuse their power and use public affairs for personal gain.

Lin Yuanyuan was the stationmaster of the radio station in her second year of high school. Although she retired in her third year of high school, she is still popular at the radio station, so she muddled onto the rostrum and helped read the radio draft.

From then on, the broadcast manuscript only has a simple script.

“Jian Songyi, you are the electricity, you are the light! You are the only myth! We will always only love you! Rush the duck! “

“The myth of invincibility is simple. If you have won the championship for five years in a row, you will definitely get back your sixth long-distance running championship, which will put a perfect end to your sports career in Nanwai. You are the greatest legend from the South! “

“We believe that being late is always the best, so we also believe that if you are not yet divided, you will certainly become the best of the best Alpha in Nanwai, and you will certainly get back the victory that belongs to you!”

……….

The speaker is a little bit careless, but the crowd still listens intentionally.

At the starting line, Li Ting stopped to stand near Jian Songyi. Upon hearing the broadcast draft, he suddenly chuckled: “It’s amazing The top Alpha is amazing. It’s no wonder our brother Song is so smart.”

His voice was not soft that the nearby people heard him. It sounded a little shady, but it felt like a normal pre-game taunting range, so none of them thought of it that much.

Only Jian Songyi and Bai Huai understood that Li Ting still did not let go of his suspicions.

But it doesn’t matter. He doesn’t care much about garbage in the first place.

Jian Songyi moved his wrist loosely, making his bones click a bit. He pulled the corner of his lips into a sly smile before laughing carelessly. It revealed a casual disdain: “I only took this activity because I am Jian Songyi. What does it have to do with whether I am Alpha or not?” He asked so boastfully, making sure to show off his arrogance.

He wants to teach him a lesson.

And he most likely will do.

Bai Huai held the DVD camera in one hand and stitch his other hand against his trouser pocket. He stood carelessly and then spoke with the same arrogance in his voice. “That’s true. After all, some Alphas are very weak.”

Li Ting was about to retort when Huang Fuyi dragged him to the other side of the runaway. “Why do you have to mess with the two of them?” He questioned. “I also heard that you’ve been caught cheating on the examinations. Do you want to pick a fight with them to prove a point? Even if you didn’t notice it at the time, do you think you won’t be able to transfer the surveillance afterward? Be honest and get rid of the punishment.”

Li Ting sneered: “I am not a pussy. You’ve been chasing Lin Yuanyuan for such a long time now, but as soon as Jian Songyi came into the picture, you won’t chase her anymore. I can’t be a scaredy-cat like you.”

“I do not chase Lin Yuanyuan just for vanity reasons. I’ve taken the high and the low road and nothing happened. What can I do anymore? Besides, I am going abroad soon, so there’s no need to force it. But you’re already indefensible, and it’s fairly light that you haven’t confessed now. If you get into trouble later, the punishment won’t go away, and even the entrance to higher education will be affected. So I advise you to be honest, you can’t mess with them anyway. “

“Don’t mind me. I have my own way.”

Li Ting stopped talking and just readied his stance for the marathon.

‘If you like to pretend for a while then so be it. The harder you pretend, the more painful it will be to hit you straight in the face.’ He thought.

The signal gun went off and everyone set out quickly at the same time, bringing up a wind wall on the playground.

The crowd was so dense that it was almost impossible to tell who was which. After the formation was pulled apart, everyone found that it was not Jian Songyi who ran first, but from the basketball teams in the third year of high schools, such as Huang Fuyi and Li Ting.

After all, adult Alphas’ specialty is sports. Their physical fitness is not the same as the others. Such as Yu Ziguo with the several Betas are left way behind from the beginning.

While Jian Songyi was running ever so steadily. He has this steady speed that maintained his position of seven or eight. It’s not in the frontrunner nor the back runners. He is in a moderate place.

The unknown onlookers were a little anxious: “Is Brother Song in bad shape today? What’s going on? Why is it so much worse than the first one “

The people in Class 1 were very calm: “Didn’t you watch Brother Song run 3000 meters last year?”

“No.”

“That’s right. You have to believe in Brother Song. Brother Song runs with his brain, unlike the folly in the front.”

Sure enough, by the third lap, the people who were far ahead are beginning to overdraw. Their speed gradually slowed down, and their breathing became quick and short as if they were going to collapse anytime soon. While Jian Songyi remained at a steady rhythm and gradually began to pick up speed.

He soon overtook the man in front of him. 

And then the fifth place.

Then the fourth place.

 ……….

In the last breath, he overtook the foremost contenders, Huang Fuyi and Li Ting. And controlled the speed by more than ten or twenty meters.

When the people behind wanted to overtake while gritting their teeth and sprinting quickly, Jian Songyi would simply speed up a little again to open up a distance as if he is deliberately denying the game. 

Having to run 800 meters originally depends on how fast the person can run since it’s a short-distance sprint. But having to boost over at the beginning of the 3000 dash, it will eventually wear out the person. It will cause disrupted rhythm, breathing disorder, and a physical overdraft. You’ll feel drained way before the half count.

But since Jian Songyi just jogged around steadily and waited for his competitors to be worn out, he became the front-runner who is extraordinarily jogging comfortably throughout the race.

It’s obviously not his sprint speed even.

So until the fifth or sixth lap, he probably presented a relatively dense middle section of the long crowd. Even Yu Ziguo is in front of the crowd since he didn’t overdo himself at the beginning of the race. He is nearly 50 meters ahead of the other runners. While Jian Songyi is at least 100 meters away from them in position.

The English teacher, Xu Jia, who came down from the school building to see the fun, took a look at the state of the race. He was frozen in his spot at what he had witnessed. “Isn’t Jian Songyi usually quite good? How come he is so far behind? Yu Ziguo usually looks thin and frail, but he is quite powerful.”

Yang Yue kindly reminded his professor: “Miss Xu, Jian Songyi is leading the race for nearly a lap while Yu Zigou is behind for nearly a lap. You are looking at it oppositely.”

“…..”

As soon as Yang Yue finished speaking, Jian Songyi had already passed the starting line again, marking the 6th number of laps that he had run.

Miss Xu raised her delicate hand and gave a thumbs-up: “For the sake of winning honor for the class, I temporarily forgive him for falling out of the top 20 of the grade.”

The students around them immediately took a breath, and their attention was diverted: “have the grades come out already?”

Miss Xu Jia said proudly: “All the teachers in the faculty have been working all night to correct the papers, and they are finally grading them. When you get back to the classroom, you will see the grade sheet.”

“…..”

Besides, she is used to it already. She used to finish checking the English exams the next day and the Math papers alongside it ready to be rechecked. This speed of hers is not unusual.

‘It’s good to die early and live earlier.’

Also, he wanted to get ahold of some people that’s why she came on the field. Jian Songyi is playing the game so he is obviously out of the question already, so her target is to catch the man taking the video. Miss Xu Jia pointed over at Bai Huai with her finger: “You, handsome guy. Come here.”

Bai Huai obliged and went over.

Miss Xu Jia raised her brow at her while resting her hand against her waist. “Do not think that I am reluctant to scold you just because you are handsome. Do you how much you score in English this time? Although Jian Songyi was willing to hand in the paper ahead of time, he at least finished the paper and garnered more than 130. It would be good for you. But you didn’t do the question with 50 points, so you only got 100 points. How come? Are 100 points very honorable? Are you two deliberately trying to get me into menopause early? “

Bai Huai calmly explained: “Jian Songyi and I ate takeout for lunch yesterday. We had a bad stomach ache after. There was nothing we could do about it.”

Nanwai has a rule that if you leave the examination room for more than ten minutes, even if you hand in the paper in advance, you will not be allowed to return to the examination room.

So that’s a good reason.

In addition, Bai Huai is good-looking and cold in temperament, but he looks like a gentleman and is very serious. So as soon as he said his excuse with such a straight face, Miss Xu really believed him. She didn’t say anything more. She can only look at him in regret: “It’s a pity. I heard that your ensemble has made great progress this ti,e. If it hadn’t been like this in English, the top student would’ve been very promising.”

As they speak, the crowd suddenly let out a cry of surprise, and Bai Huai thought of nothing but running directly towards the end of the runway.

Just now, Jian Songyi overtook Yu Ziguo, leading a full lap. Li Ting stopped to hold his strength as he readied himself into catching up with Jian Songyi.

Li Ting was a sports student in Junior high school, but he played volleyball back then. He has no experience in long-distance running until now. Knowing that he couldn’t win the first place this time, he just wanted to drag Jian Songyi into the water and hit him in the face.

So, he tried to keep up. He did cross the runway line, trying to harass Jian Songyi. Jian Songyi didn’t dare to rashly accelerate for the sake of the back sprint consideration. He couldn’t get away from 01:30. He dodged once, but he was affected by the rhythm several times in a row.

Finally, Li Ting simply reached out his hand and tried to drag down Jian Songyi, but the attempt was discovered by Yu Ziguo behind him.

‘This drag only affects the performance of the game. If you really hurt Brother Song, this son of a bitch won’t just lose his life!’ Yu Ziguo thought.

Yu Ziguo was furious and rushed up, hugging Li Ting’s waist from behind.

Li ting was startled upon feeling someone’s arms around his waist. Looking back, he found that it was Yu Ziguo who was immediately looking fearless at him as he gave him a direct backhand push.

Adhering to the tactical principle of life for life, Yu Ziguo never gave up. As a result, the two men rolled together on the track, and the spectators who did not see what had happened dared not rush into the track and had to scream to find the referee. 

Jian Songyi heard the noise, so he looked back only to see the scene unfold before him. He immediately guessed what had happened.

He knew that Yu Ziguo was stubborn and stupid, so for fear that he might suffer from Li Ting’s loss or some injury, he hurriedly ran back. He pulled Li Ting to stop and threw him to the side of the road. Afterward, Jian Songyi then squatted down to examine Yu Ziguo’s wound.

Yu Ziguo was in a hurry as he kept pushing Jian Zongyi off of him: “Brother Song, please continue running! Leave me alone. I am really fine. Run and help us get the first place back.”

Jian Songyi ignored him and rolled up his trousers to take a look at his leg. He breathed out a sigh of relief. “I’ll help you to the side and wait for the school nurse to come.”

“Brother Song, I really don’t need it!”

“Keep running. I am here.” The voice was cold and calm.

Jian Songyi looked up and then saw Bai Huai. With that, he then nodded. “Okay, good.”

He then decisively got up and sprint for the seventh lap.

He can leave it to Bai Huai. If it’s him, then he won’t have to worry as he moves on to victory.

It’s just that there was too much time lost in the middle, and several runners with long-distance running experience began to speed up in the final stage and surpassed him one after another.

There are three in front of Jane Songyi.

One leads 50 meters, one leads 80 meters, and the other leads nearly 100 meters.

Only the last 600 meters, the situation is not optimistic, all the hearts are raised to the throat, hanging a sigh of breath.

After all, Jian Songyi is not made of iron. He is only made up of ordinary flesh and blood. After running down for 2400 meters, he has already used up most of his physical strength. And because he has stopped for a period of time and was interrupted, his condition is not as good as before.

It may have already been done. His chance may really be gone.

Lao Bai comforted everyone: “It’s alright! The most important thing is to unite and love your classmates. It doesn’t matter if you don’t get the first place. The first three students are also very good. Come on, everybody. Cheer for your Brother Song!”

It doesn’t matter if Jian Songyi won’t be able to grab the first place. Everyone saw it. He lost not because of the lack of strength, but because Jain Songyi is naturally good and kind.

So all the worry and frustration circulating all over the students disappeared. Their Brother Song is still the best, so together, they all shouted loudly in hopes to refuel his strength to at least finish through.

 Xu Jiaxing and Yang Yue simply jumped onto the rostrum and seized power from Lin Yuanyuan, screaming with five big and three thick voices.

“Brother Song flies bravely! The first class will always follow each other!”

“Friendship first, competition later. He is a beautiful person with a good and virtuous heart! Jian Songyi! You are our king!”

“A kind and generous heart, Jian Songyi! Unity and love, Jian Songyi! Wipe the waves, Jian Songyi! Hey, Jian Songyi, let it all go! Brother Song needs our help! Yea! Yea!”

They’re cheering him on stage.

As he runs, Jian Songyi scolded the two idiots in his heart. He was so tired and yet they had to make him laugh.

However, he did not let down his speed at all. He managed to adjust his breath and so he pushed and sprinted forward.

Although he had taken a shot of an inhibitor, he is still in heat. This kind of three-kilometer race can simply kill an ordinary Omega.

But he is Jian Songyi, he is never ordinary.

However, to make matters worse, Jian Songyi started feeling pain in his abdominal muscles. He should stop because of it or it will lead to abdominal spasms or side stitches, but instead, he carried on.

Sweat soaked his hair and clothes. Jian Songyi sucked up the pain as he clenched his teeth. He felt like swooning as he is suddenly losing air in his lungs while his heart beats so fast, that it felt like jumping out of his chest. Not to mention his sore limbs.

Nonetheless, he pushed through his very limit. 

Jian Songyi surpassed third place.

Overtook the second place next.

And on an instant, he is now side by side with the first placer.

It’s the last two hundred meters.

 Jian Songyi felt like he is about to lose consciousness and collapse on the ground due to lack of oxygen, numbness, and powerlessness. His body seemed to be no longer his own.

He was a little out of breath. He’s having difficulty breathing while his abdominal pain is becoming worst. 

He could not even hear the people cheering anymore. He just feels like he is suffocating the more he takes another step from the other. He could faint anytime now.

Well, not until a deep and gentle voice rang in his ear: “Follow my rhythm. Adjust your breathing. It is alright.”

It’s Bai Huai.

Amid the hustle and bustle, Jian Songyi only heard his voice from the crowd. He suddenly had a lot to say, but he couldn’t say it.

But this time, he had chosen to believe in Bai Huai. According to his rhythm and following his breathing. He made a little adjustment and just like that his abdomen feels so much better

In the last 50 meters, he lagged slightly behind the first place because of the adjustment.

He glanced at Bai Huai.

Bai Huai understood him and nodded: “I’ll catch you however you want to come.”

Jian Songyi closed his eyes with ease.

He does not see where he is going nor does he know where Bai Huai is exactly. Jian Songyi simply gets rid of all the distractions as he runs in the dark. He gave everything to the person who is always around him and who is worthy of his whole heart and trust. While feeling his breathing and pace, he followed him. He followed him and sprinted for victory.

As if on cue, he heard the tsunami-like cheers of the mountains.

The people around Jian Songyi whispered “Congratulations.”

Jian Songyi opened his eyes and he realized that he was the first person to cross the finish life. He could only smile in relief.

But he did not immediately stop on the spot. Jian Songyi continued moving his legs forward.

The strength is overdrawn and the speed is already slow.

Everyone was confused about this move, but Bai Huai had no doubt and instead ran slowly with him.

It was not until they ran to Yu Ziguo and the three of them walked together on the empty track that they realized that they were going to bring their companions.

Nearly half of the Alpha abstained in the middle of the race, and the last one, but all ten, have already crossed the finish line.

However, even though everyone else has finished the race, and even if Yu Ziguo may be suspected of fouling and no results, they still have to accompany him to finish the race.

Not giving up on this is great enough in itself.

Four hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters, all the way to ten meters.

Looking at Jian Songyi and Yu Ziguo, anyone can already tell that they’re both exhausted, but ever so slowly they firmly jogged side by side from the sunset to the very end of the lap that an emotional little girl even shed tears.

The so-called good friends, who will never hold each other back, will pay for each other, but also will support each other to achieve better.

And a good lover who will always be by your side and make you feel fearless.

Three people stepped on the red line together.

In the history of long-distance running in Nanwai, the first and last runners-up crossed the finish line at the same time.

The crowd on the playground burst into the warmest applause.

“Let’s congratulate Class one! Jian Songyi won first place in the men’s 3000 meters in the school sports meeting! “

Jian Songyi finally stopped this time and leaned over to support his knees. He took a deep breath and adjusted his condition before straightening himself up and raising his chin. He walked slowly onto the rostrum and then took the microphone in Lin yuanyuan’s hand.

His voice is a little weak and his breath is not steady at all. Nonetheless, it did not affect his arrogance. “There is a saying that I am afraid that some people did not hear clearly, so I will repeat it here. I’ll say it because I am Jian Songyi, and it has nothing to do with whether I am an Alpha or not.”

With that, a confident and smug smile appeared on his pale and beautiful face.

A thousand of his fangirls were knocked over this time.

On the other hand, Alpha Li Ting, who stole the rice and gave up the game halfway turned pale.

He feels that some people are so highly praised that they forget that at the beginning of the division, when there was no equality of human rights, Omega, which is not protected by laws and regulations, was just a plaything of Alpha.

It’s something in the gene, and it hasn’t been changed.

He got up and left the playground alone.

Jian Songyi was so relaxed that he walked calmly off the rostrum in the constant noise and screams. But when he went down the steps, he almost fell down because he had been pretending to be too strong for a long time now.

Luckily, he fell into a gentle embrace.

“I got you.”

“Mmhmmm.”

‘Just catch me. I can’t fucking fly.’ Jian Songyi thought tiredly. He naturally placed his chin on Bai Huai’s shoulder as he puts all of his weight on him. Jian Songyi could not use all of his strength at all. So, Bai Huai supported him and patted him on the back to help him catch his breath.

A group of people originally wanted to come over to celebrate Jian Songyi, but when they saw this scene, they automatically chose to be a human wall. Under Lu Qi Feng’s command in the next class, they blocked those girls trying to send in bottles of water and towels.

Bai Huai has a towel and placed it into Jian Songyi’s loose clothes so he could wipe his sweat on his back. “Do you need me to carry you?”

“Who fucking wants to be carried by you?”

“Can you walk by yourself?”

“Of course, I can. I’ll get over it after a while.”

“Sure?”

“Sure.”

As soon as Jian Songyi relaxes, he pushed Bai Huai away and planned to go by himself. As a result, when he straightened himself up, he only saw dark spots in front of him and almost fell. Fortunately, Bai Huai had his eyes on him and hands to hold him quickly.

“Is it hypoglycemia again?”

“I think so.”

Bai Huai helped him wipe his sweat and then threw away the towel. He took out a piece of milk candy, peeled it, and stuffed it into Jian Songyi’s mouth next: “I don’t know how I’ve fed you so much sugar since I was a child.”

Jian Songyi’s brain was so deprived of oxygen that his brain could currently not keep up with the speed of speech. “Am I not sweet?”

“…..”

Bai Huai bowed his head and refrained from laughing. Before Jian Songyi can get embarrassed, he patted Lu Qi Feng on the shoulder. “You send Jian Songyi back, and I’ll go to the infirmary to get him some glucose.”

“Okay.”

Once Bai Huai left, Lu Qi Feng wanted to come and help Jian Songyi relax and express his brotherly feelings.

But as a result, Jian Songyi was only disgusted at him and waved his hand open: “I am not that weak.”

For a moment, Lu Qi Feng remembered one of the current Omega situations that Zhou Luo had given him in science popularization: Before Alpha = Lin Daiyu, After Alpha = Voldemort.

However, Jian Songyi obviously did not realize that he was different from others in front of Bai Huai, especially while sipping sugar while walking chic and unrestrained to the classroom surrounded by a group of people.

When he arrived in their classroom properly, he was happy to see when he saw two big words in the first row of the report sheet. “Jian Songyi”

He took out his cellphone to take a picture of it before sending it over to Bai Huai.

[See, they all hand in the papers in advance, but dad is the first to be safe. What is science genius? What is hard power? What is both civil and military strength? I ask you whether you are convinced or not?].

By the way, Jian Songyi sent out seven or eight memes in succession, which was completely provocative, while the other end of WeChat just replied.

[I am willing to gamble and lose.]

Translator’s Note:
