Aria agreed and said, "Ellie, I agree too, although that guy is really handsome."
Ellie nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.
William glanced at Ellie, who seemed a bit distracted.
Little prude is really naive.
Ellie remembered the unfinished sentence and softly said, "Congratulations on getting first place."
William replied, "Didn't we agree I'd bring you a first place back?"
Ellie was taken aback by his words; she thought he was joking that day, but it turned out he was serious.
The teenager smiled with a roguish air.
Her heart was beating erratically.
...
The sports day ended.
Everyone went to receive their medals, and the certificates would be distributed in the following days.
Ellie watched the teenager stand in the first place. His face showed no expression, wearing a black hoodie with an open school uniform, his nose was prominently high and straight, his jawline smooth, his eyes narrow and long, and his black, choppy hair was slightly messy from running, giving him a distinctive look.
Mr. Anderson personally put the medal around William's neck, patted his shoulder, and said, "You're quite good at running."
William responded, "Mr. Anderson is too kind."
"When your grades improve, that would be even better."
"That might be a bit difficult."
Since Mr. Anderson still needed to give out medals to the second and third place winners, he just glanced at William and went to put medals on the other two.
The school's photographer captured this moment.
William took off the medal and returned to his class's spot.
Seeing Ellie looking up at him, he said, "Want to see the medal?"
"Sure."
William took out the medal from his pocket and put it around her neck, whispering, "I got you first place, so the medal is yours too."
----------------
Autumn was slightly cool.
Ellie's face, however, was quite hot.
She looked at the medal in her hand, then took it off and carefully put it in her pocket.
She said, "Although I've said it many times, I still want to thank you, William. I can't participate in intense sports, so this is fulfilling a regret for me."
After speaking, she smiled at William.
Her smile was bright, and her eyes were shining.
William looked at her eyes curved into crescents, feeling an inexplicable softness in his heart.
She's so well-behaved.
He really wanted to rub her face.
Daniel ran over to see Hao Ming receive his award, seeing him standing in the first place with a sour face, he stuck his tongue out at him.
Hao Ming glanced at him, his expression seeming to say, "Big fool."
Could Daniel endure this?
Seeing Hao Ming coming over with his medal, he said, "What was the meaning of the look you just gave me? Not convinced?"
"I didn't say anything."
"Mason, let your dad have a look at the medal."
"Get lost." Despite the refusal, Hao Ming still showed him the medal.
Daniel held the shiny medal and said, "Is this gold?"
"Gold your Mason ghost, how could this be gold."
Daniel bit it and said, "It's an alloy, it's quite hard to bite."
Hao Ming: "…"
Seeing Hao Ming's gaze, Daniel said, "What are you looking at? What's wrong with me biting it?"
Hao Ming: "…"
Daniel nonchalantly wiped it on his clothes and handed it back, saying, "You're so stingy, here's your medal back."
He finished speaking and returned to the class's spot with Hao Ming. He said to William, "WilliamWilliam, let me see your medal."
Ellie took out the medal from her pocket and handed it over.
William, however, showed no particular expression.
Daniel: What did I miss?
He took the medal from Ellie's hand and said, "They're all the same, haha." After speaking, he handed it back, saying, "Here you go, Ellie."
Hao Ming and Lucas's medals were surrounded by people looking at them.
And the girl's second-place medal.
...
The sports day ended.
Class 17 won quite a few medals, and the total points surpassed other classes.
Mr. Johnson said happily, "Our class performed very well in this sports day."
"That's a must."
"It's all because Mr. Johnson leads well."
Lucas had already shown off his medal to the whole class.
Mr. Johnson said, "I can't contribute much to sports, it's not my strength." He continued, "Did you have fun in this sports day?"
"Fun!"
Mr. Johnson smiled and said, "As long as you're happy. I always believe that when you play, play hard, and when you study, study hard. Now that the sports day is over, settle down and study well. The midterms are coming up soon."
"Ah? Didn't we just have exams?"
Mr. Johnson said, "It's been a while since the exams, and the midterms will be in November. Settle down and study hard."
There was a reluctant "Okay" from the class.
Daniel said, "One month until the deadline."
Hao Ming said, "What? Are you planning to keep fooling around for another month?"
Daniel responded with "Get lost."
After a few minutes, he turned to William and asked, "William, how about a game of King's Glory?"
"Not playing."
William played with the elimination game for a while, saw Ellie still doing her homework, and stared at her for a while.
Her handwriting was very neat and upright.
William then withdrew his gaze and started playing his own elimination game.
Ellie finished that problem and asked, "Aren't you doing your homework?"
"When have you ever seen me do homework?"
"Okay." Ellie finished speaking and went back to her own business.
...
Ellie returned home, took a shower, and then lay in bed. It was almost eleven o'clock by then.
She did some problems, heard a knock on the door.
She opened the door and saw SuSan outside with blueberries and cherries.
SuSan said, "Have some blueberries, they're good for your eyes. Get some rest early, Ellie."
Ellie obediently responded with an "Okay," then took the fruit into her room.
She ate a few blueberries and unlocked her phone.
She saw a friend request and accepted it.
Opposite immediately sent a message.
[Landon]: Hello Ellie, my name is Landon.
[Ellie]: Hello, Ellie.
[Landon]: I know.
Ellie looked at that "I know" and didn't know what to say next, so she replied with a "Hmm."
William was playing the elimination game when Coco suddenly squeezed into his arms. He pinched Coco's face, took a picture, opened the chat box, selected the picture, and sent it out.
Ellie replied quickly.
[Little Ungrateful]: It's so cute.
[William]: Aren't you doing your homework?
[Little Ungrateful]: I did, not doing it now.
Coco stretched his head to watch William send messages.
Seems to have sensed that he sent his own ugly photo, Coco stretched his cat paw and poked his phone.
Ellie looked at the several letters sent over.
[Ellie]: ?
William hadn't explained that it was Coco who sent it when he saw her send another message.
[Little Ungrateful]: Wait, he said he wants to discuss a physics problem with me.
William stared at the character "he" with a radical for man for a while.
