Chapter 32 Competitors…

, and everyone is waiting to see what happens!" Gu Jiadong continued shouting from outside the door."What nonsense." Hao Ren rubbed his still sore stomach, suddenly remembering something. He raised hi...Chapter 32: Competitors...

On Monday, Donghai University was bustling with activity. Though it wasn't festively decorated, there was a pervasive festive atmosphere.

Zhao Jiayin and the others got up early as well, bringing their own food, drinks, cameras, binoculars, and so on, forming alliances with neighboring dormitories to head for the sports field together.

Ha Ren put on his athletic shoes and clothes, ate a hearty breakfast at the cafeteria, then leisurely made his way to the venue of the sports meeting.

This sports meeting was divided into two sections: one was indoor events such as badminton, basketball, volleyball, held in the newly built gymnasium; the other was outdoor events like track and field, fitness操比賽。

相對來說，室外項目的種類更加豐富，場地也更寬闊，人氣也更高。

因為運動會期間學校停課舉辦，為了防止一些學生藉機外出遊玩，學校規定大一大二大三的學生必須強製觀看比賽。基本上安排是，大三學生觀看室內比賽，大一和大二學生觀看室外比賽。

當然，對於大多數學生來說，隻要不上課就已經很滿足了。他們拿著零食一邊聊天一邊觀看比賽，這種愜意的程度幾乎堪比中學時代的春遊。

而對於趙嘉胤這樣的男生來說，手持望遠鏡和照相機趁機搜尋美女則是更加重要的樂趣。

郝仁穿著運動服來到操場，在找到自己班級所在區域時，看到班長謝雨嘉已經在點名。

"餘榮！"

"到！"

"趙嘉胤！"

"Here!"

Cao Ronghua!

"Here!"

Zhou Liren!

"Here!"

Since the class monitor was calling roll personally, they couldn't get away with vague responses as they did in some larger lectures. Everyone had to be present and were all exceptionally excited.

Xie Yujia wore a basic T-shirt today; on such a sunny day, it gave people a feeling of ease and comfort. However, the biggest highlight wasn't her white T-shirt emblazoned with "Fighting," but rather her sexy frayed denim hot pants that accentuated her beautiful legs, making one wonder if Xie Yujia was in an unusually good mood today, as she usually dressed more conservatively; it left the boys nearly breathless.

"Hao Ren, you're here."

Seeing Hao Ren arrive, Xie Yujia greeted him warmly.

"Yoh..."

The boys, sensing something amiss, started to tease.

"Stop it! If you have the guts, go and participate in the competition!" Xie Yujia put on a stern face, adopting an authoritative tone as she scolded them.

She tied up her shiny hair, revealing her long neck and smooth shoulders. Her facial skin under the sunlight was so smooth that it looked even smoother than just-peeled eggs, yet she hadn't applied any makeup; although she was beautiful, there wasn't a trace of coquettishness about her.

Today, however, instead of fearing Xie Yujia, the boys teased her even more.

"Work hard today!" Xie Yujia stepped forward and straightened Hao Ren's disheveled sports jacket collar for him.

"Wow..." Seeing Xie Yujia make such a move in public, the boys' exclamations surged like waves.

Even the boys from other classes sitting nearby joined in the teasing. It's worth noting that although Xie Yujia is very low-key, she remains one of the beauties in their major.

Hao Ren felt a bit awkward and stepped back two steps. "Alright, I'll give it a try."

"Class President! I want to run 1500 meters too!"

"Me too!"

"I want to join the race as well!"

The envious and admiring boys all started clamoring.

"Hmph, you weren’t so enthusiastic about signing up earlier," Xie Yujia glanced at them with a dismissive look.

"Class President! I did sign up back then. You also have to straighten my collar for me!" Zhao Jiayin jumped up and called out.

Hao Ren clearly remembered that when nobody else wanted to sign up, Xie Yujia had just filled in Zhao Jiayin's name as a placeholder. Now this guy was trying to ride on the coattails of their relationship.

Xie Yujia naturally ignored Zhao Jiayin’s request. Her face slightly reddened and she straightened up, "Alright! Let's continue with the roll call! Gu Jiadong..."

Her well-proportioned figure supported her white T-shirt, subtly revealing her excellent physique. Xie Yujia dislikes being in the spotlight but that doesn't stop her from being a top beauty in the boys' eyes.

Back when they first entered school, Zhao Jiayin and his three friends had bet on who among the class's 38 boys could win over Xie Yujia’s heart. In reality, almost two years later, not only has nobody managed to date her within their class, but also in the entire school, there hasn't been any rumor of her having any romantic involvement.

Compared to Lin Li, the campus beauty whose life is filled with endless gossip, Xie Yujia, who is also a pretty girl, is much too low-key. In fact, according to Zhao Jiayan's group's evaluation standards, the so-called "campus flower" in Class 3 doesn't even come close to Xie Yujia in terms of looks and demeanor; she just likes to get involved with some warm-hearted relationships with influential figures at school. To put it bluntly, she’s good at self-promotion.

Probably sensing the commotion here, Lin Li from Class 3, who had already arrived on campus and was elegantly carrying an umbrella, glanced over in our direction.

Seeing Xie Yujia dressed so beautifully, she couldn't help but feel surprised. When she saw that her own class's boys were also staring at Xie Yujia, she immediately showed a displeased expression.

Xie Yujia wasn't trying to steal the limelight from Lin Li; she just wanted to dress up nicely and comfortably on such an enjoyable day to lift the morale of the boys in her class – although only Hao Ren was actually competing.

Lin Li's gaze swept over Xie Yujia’s entire body, then shifted to Hao Ren, who was wearing sports clothes. Her expression seemed to darken slightly as if she was pondering something, but quickly recovered and averted her eyes so as not to give the impression that she had taken an interest in this ordinary boy.

On their side of the bleachers, the commotion from the boys made Hao Ren feel uncomfortable. Turning towards Xie Yujia, he said, "I'm going to warm up on an empty track over there."

"The 1500-meter race is in the afternoon; why are you rushing" Xie Yujia didn't realize that Hao Ren was trying to avoid Zhao Jiayan's group and asked.

"Most of the long-distance races happen in the afternoon, so there won’t be any free tracks then," Hao Ren waved his hand and started descending the bleachers.

Xie Yujia watched as Hao Ren’s slightly dashing figure in sports attire disappeared down the stairs and found herself lost in thought. She only snapped back to reality when her classmates called out her name, continuing with the roll call.

How could his demeanor have improved even more after just a weekend… Xie Yujia felt rather puzzled inside, worried that it might be an illusion of hers, because if so, it would mean falling in love makes one blind to faults.

When Hao Ren reached the lower track area, Huang Xujie, wearing golden Adidas sports attire, was just emerging from the changing room onto the field.

He briefly sprinted on the track before stopping and stretching his legs. He then waved towards the direction where there were many girls.

"Ah… to Ah Zi wasn’t appropriate either. So, he passed it on to me...""Anything else…" Zhao Kuo probed further."He said that after cultivating for a thousand years, his killing intent was too intense, hen...
