Bai Yuyou stood in her position under the blazing sun, the scorching rubber track emitting a peculiar burnt-plastic odor mixed with the faint scent of dust.
"Run faster," Bai Yuyou thought.
Numerous gazes seemed to linger on her. The girl glanced around nervously—perhaps it was her first time standing before such a large audience, and her heart began to flutter uneasily.
She… didn’t seem to be here.
Where’s Ye Shuang?
I want to see Ye Shuang…
"Bang!" The sound of the starting gun jolted Bai Yuyou’s heart in sync with the shot.
For a moment, she felt lost, the suffocating heat only amplifying her restlessness.
"Ye Shuang…"
Just then, a flag suddenly rose in the distance!
[❤ Bai Yuyou ❤]
As the flag waved, Bai Yuyou instantly spotted Ye Shuang standing in the bleachers amidst the crowd of five or six thousand.
Though she couldn’t quite make out his expression, she knew without a doubt it was him.
"……" Like a drifting boat finding harbor, Bai Yuyou gave a slight nod in his direction before focusing entirely on the race.
She had to perform well.
Victory was a must!
The relay had four legs, with Bai Yuyou anchoring the final 100-meter sprint.
Tang Keke was the third runner.
As her turn approached, Tang Keke also seemed tense.
"Currently, Class 5 from Business Administration is leading—oh! Class 1 is right behind them! The other classes aren’t backing down either!" The commentator’s voice rang out excitedly.
Now it was time for the third leg.
"Class 5 reaches the third leg first! Followed by Class 1… Oh no, looks like a minor mishap!"
"Keke!"
Bai Yuyou noticed Tang Keke tripping flat on the ground—whether from leaning too far forward or losing balance, she fell right at the start!
"Ooooh, that’s gotta hurt!"
"Damn, a faceplant like that?"
"Yikes."
Tang Keke scrambled up quickly, gritting her teeth against the pain as she began running.
But the fall had taken its toll—her pace was sluggish, her movements strained.
"Ugh… I’ve totally embarrassed myself," Tang Keke whimpered, her face crumpling.
Still, she pushed forward with all her might.
By now, the other classes had caught up, overtaking Tang Keke—by the time Bai Yuyou was about to take the baton, Class 1 had fallen to last place.
Strangely, no one was watching the leaders anymore. All eyes were on Tang Keke.
Because…
Bouncing slimes!!!
"Ohhhh~" A chorus of male voices erupted.
"Sorry, Yuyou!" Tang Keke sobbed as she finally reached the handoff zone.
Snap.
Bai Yuyou firmly gripped the baton and said earnestly, "Keke, don’t worry… leave it to me!"
"Yuyou…"
With that, Bai Yuyou shot forward. As the anchor, every runner was giving their all.
"Looks like Class 5 is about to clinch first—wait, what’s this?!"
"It’s—it’s Class 1! Their anchor is catching up!!"
"Holy crap, she’s fast?!" The crowd quickly noticed the girl with the high ponytail.
Bai Yuyou surged past several runners, closing in on Class 5—her long, pale legs gleaming under the sunlight.
"Huh?!" Class 5’s anchor was stunned but quickly poured on the speed.
The finish line was just meters away!
"They’ve crossed the line!!!"
……
……
"Congratulations to Class 5 for taking gold!" In the end, Bai Yuyou fell just short but secured silver.
The Class 1 team gathered around, noticing both Bai Yuyou and the dejected Tang Keke.
"I’m sorry…" Tang Keke mumbled, amazed that Bai Yuyou had still managed second place despite her blunder. If only she hadn’t fallen…
"Hey, it’s just a race! Are you hurt?" one girl asked.
"A gold medal’s no big deal."
"Yeah, don’t sweat it."
Others chimed in to comfort Tang Keke. Bai Yuyou reached out, gently patting Keke’s head—just as Ye Shuang often did for her.
"Keke fell… but got back up and kept running. That’s amazing."
"Waaahhh!" Tang Keke hugged Bai Yuyou tightly.
Watching this, Ye Shuang waved his flag and shouted, "No youth is complete without regrets—it’s fine!"
That made Tang Keke too embarrassed to cry anymore.
"What an exhilarating relay! All medalists, please proceed to the podium for your awards," the announcer continued. "Up next is the Women’s 200-meter Dash for the Business Administration Department. Participants, please prepare."
The 200-meter…
Just as Ye Shuang wondered if Bai Yuyou would join, he spotted an unexpected figure on the track.
An Shiyu stood in her school uniform, stretching lazily among the sportswear-clad competitors—her outfit stood out glaringly.
Ye Shuang: "……"
Is she seriously running in this?
"Wait, I thought she only joined events when she was broke?" Ye Shuang muttered in confusion when a voice piped up beside him.
"Correct. But this time, the prize money is… special."
Ye Shuang turned to see Anshi Yilang in an… unusual getup.
"Whoa?! When did you get here?!" Ye Shuang blinked.
Anshi Yilang wore a jacket plastered with ❤ Little Fish ❤ patterns, wielded a flag bearing An Shiyu’s selfie, and had a headband declaring 【World’s Best Granddaughter Little Fish】. Even his forehead ribbon screamed ❤ Little Fish Must Win ❤.
All in eye-searing pink.
To put it mildly…
"Old man, aren’t you dressed a bit… much?" Ye Shuang eyed the love-struck grandpa, his retinas burning.
"Hmph! You’re one to talk!" Anshi Yilang pointed at Ye Shuang’s flag.
"Mine was a premade online order! And—I only have a flag! You’re head-to-toe in this?!" Ye Shuang retorted.
"What’s the difference?"
"I just mean it’s not that serious—"
"What?! Are you saying my Little Fish isn’t adorable enough?!" Anshi Yilang glared.
Ye Shuang: "……"
At that moment, Anshi Yilang pulled out a pink megaphone linked to the stadium speakers. "Go, Little Fish—Grandpa’s cheering for you! Over here—!"
On the track, the short-haired girl mid-stretch suddenly stumbled, then shot a murderous glare in their direction.
Where is that old man?!
ng to die together with you." Lin Xuan is dead, his body thrown into the river by his scumbag lover and her accomplice. She, the president of the Su Group, is decisive, ruthless, and ice-cold. For three days and three nights, she had his body fished out of the river, and without hesitation, she kissed the bloated corpse of Lin Xuan. She laid down beside him in a cold coffin, their fingers intertwined, a smile lingering on her lips as she closed her eyes. The noble and cold-hearted woman, only bending for one man—Lin Xuan.
