Chapter 28 - Sports Sign-Ups

[The composition is well written. The analysis angle is peculiar, it is penetrating, and the emotion is sincere.]

Jiang Wei sent Zhi Ying a text message, attempting to mock her for the exaggerated degree to which she had gone off-topic in her composition. He hoped to highlight the absurdity of her interpretation.

It was a pity that Zhi Ying could misunderstand a simple composition title, so his mocking text message would be even more incomprehensible to her.

[Actually, I also think my writing is good, but the teacher thinks that I can only get 28 points, so there must be something wrong with it. But I still want to thank you, classmate Jiang Wei. ^_^]

Zhi Ying replied, thinking that Jiang Wei was really a good classmate. Although he had to compete with others, he still praised his opponent sincerely. He deserved her respect.

"..." Originally wanting to break Zhi Ying's appearance of being in high spirits all day long, Jiang Wei completely understood the saying, "Stupid people have stupid blessings."

Maybe that was why she didn't understand what sarcasm was. So she could have a good life every day?

[Classmate Jiang Wei, the boss has a new batch of books; can you help me bring them? You can also buy them and take them home to do the problems. The question types are newer than Quan City's.]

Zhi Ying now thought that the two were friends and recommended Jiang X Province's exam papers very enthusiastically and sincerely.

He did not confirm whether he would help bring the books or not, but responded: [The types of questions in the high school exams are not the same as those in Jiang X Province.]

Zhi Ying immediately advertised Jiang X Province: [Although those questions are not tested, they are very interesting to do, really!]

[I think you should put more effort into the composition.] Jiang Wei's fingers paused and added an emoji to the message, [^_^]

Zhi Ying was silent for a long time before sending a text message, and her reluctance was almost overflowing: [I will worry about the composition later. I think it will not improve for a while.]

The conversation between the two came to an end, and Jiang Wei did not reply about helping Zhi Ying bring the books. However, the next day, he met Zhi Ying in the corridor and threw three thick comprehensive test papers at her.

"Thank you!" Zhi Ying's eyes lit up with genuine delight as if she had just received a valuable treasure. Her excitement was so palpable that she instinctively reached out to grasp Jiang Wei's hand in gratitude, but was unfortunately stopped by Li Ge.

"Zhi Ying, come and pick!" Li Ge's voice was deep, which didn't match his figure at all.

Jiang Wei saw that the exam papers were in her hands and walked straight back to his classroom.

"Pick what?" Zhi Ying looked inexplicably at the pile of forms in Han Jiaojiao's hand.

"Sports meeting." Zhao Qian was already burying his head in the papers while filling them out.

Li Ge took a few forms from Han Jiaojiao and noted, "There are still several activities for girls to sign up for: the 800 meters, the 5,000-meter long-distance run, and the relay races"

"The 800 meters had just been picked." Han Jiaojiao crossed out a place.

"Then... 5,000 meters?" Zhi Ying hesitated.

At this time, the class president asked around and came back. His face was not very good as he seemed to be begging, "Zhi Ying, can you apply for the relay?"

"Class president, she already picked the 5,000 meters one! She still has to run?" Han Jiaojiao said, dissatisfied.

The class president was also having a hard time. "Just now, you saw that only our class's cadres participated in the competition. No one else wanted to go."

Generally speaking, students with good grades were usually not very good at physical fitness. They were not very interested in this kind of competition, but the class was forced to send someone to participate, which meant that the class cadre would suffer.

"Okay." Zhi Ying didn't refuse; she didn't think it was a big deal.

"Running 5,000 meters won't be very comfortable," Zhao Qian said as he finished filling out the form and looked up. "It's better to let other girls participate in the relay."

Now that it was late autumn, people would feel uncomfortable running, especially long distances. In previous years, the school had called an ambulance to wait around in the vicinity, just in case.

"Hey, let Zhi Ying choose for herself." The class president was anxious and quickly stopped Han Jiaojiao and the others from provoking Zhi Ying.

In the end, Zhi Ying still signed up for two competitions.

"Deskmate, you have to go to the drill ground with me every day to practice in the future." Zhao Qian patted Zhi Ying on the shoulder, looking very sad.

Zhao Qian applied for the boys' 5,000-meter long-distance race, and this kind of competition required training over a period of time. Otherwise, they would definitely not be able to run the whole track directly.

"You can go every afternoon. We will accompany you." Han Jiaojiao pointed to herself and Li Ge.

Li Ge also nodded, expressing his approval.

On the other hand, the sports meet had nothing to do with Jiang Wei, and he did not apply for any events.

According to the class president, Yu Qingyin, the boys' group registration did not encounter many obstacles, and many people couldn't refuse the female class president's request.

The girls' group faced more challenges. It reached a point where the headteacher had to intervene and instruct several girls to participate, ultimately ensuring enough representatives from the class.

When classes ended in the afternoon, the drill ground quickly filled with a sea of freshmen busily training. Their excited chatter and the rhythmic sound of footsteps created a lively atmosphere, contrasting sharply with the quieter moments of the day.

Only freshmen could be found there as both sophomores and juniors had evening self-study and were not competitive. They basically just stayed in the classroom after eating. It was natural, as they were preparing for the National College Entrance Examination, which they would take after high school in one or two years.

Zhao Qian and the other three went downstairs together. Han Jiaojiao was carrying two large bottles of water in her hand. Li Ge had two white towels from some unknown source. It was quite decent.

Zhao Qian, eyeing the bottles of water with concern, remarked, "Um, Jiaojiao, drinking this water... it would feel cold in your heart!" As he touched a bottle, a look of horror appeared on his face. "Shouldn't it be hot water?"

"Give me a bottle and I'll help you." Han Jiaojiao pouted, "Besides, do you drink hot water after running?"

"This water is cold boiled water with added sugar, which is good for the body," Li Ge added from the back.

However, seeing the numerous items being carried by them, Zhi Ying was puzzled and asked innocently, "The 5,000 meters will be over quickly. Why do you need so many things?"

"..." The three fell silent, and Zhao Qian spoke first, "Is 5,000 meters very short?"

"It's not that long?" Zhi Ying asked, confused.

It turned out that Zhao Qian was completely decimated by Zhi Ying in the 5000 meter run.
