He had just compared Meng Chuyuan to a treasure. Lu Jinsen thought that she was denying it because of modesty. He did not expect the second half of the sentence to be so unexpected that it almost made him doubt his life.

“Are you sure we’re talking about the same person?” Lu Jinsen refused to believe that the words “little kid” could come out of Lu Qingye’s mouth.

Meng Chuyuan smiled lightly. She put down the cup in her hand and said slowly, “How is it not the same person?”

“Little kid? How is that possible…” Lu Jinsen snorted and sneered. He tilted his head in disbelief and glanced at her. He said in disdain, “I think he treats you more like a smart person.”

With Meng Chuyuan’s personality, it was really difficult to imagine that the way he treated her had anything to do with words like the little kid.

“See, that’s the big difference between you and him.”

Lu Jinsen:

[Yo, yo, yo. Look at how jealous you are. Why can’t our Sister Meng be a child?] [Ahhhh! So Sister Meng’s husband dotes on Sister Meng like she’s a child?]

[I feel that the husband that Sister Meng mentioned is very mature and gentle. Then why is it that the Internet says that Sister Meng has been abandoned by him?]

[Sister, the rumors online are not trustworthy. Moreover, Lu Jinsen just said that his brother treats Sister Meng like a treasure.]

[There’s something strange about calling her a little kid. Is there a big age difference between Sister Meng and her husband?]

The annual school sports meet had finally arrived.

Yesterday morning, all the teachers and students of the school gathered in the huge field. The phalanxes of each class appeared in order, according to their previous rehearsals. They shouted loud slogans and marched through the parade. Then, the school leaders gave a speech. It took nearly two hours for the opening ceremony to end.

Lu Qianling’s 1500m sprint was scheduled for the afternoon of the next day. Yesterday, she went to school to attend the opening ceremony. After that, she was not seen in school.

At four o’clock in the afternoon, the female 1500m sprint was about to begin. All the participants were waiting in line at the registration entrance, but Lu Qianling was nowhere to be seen.

The sports committee members of each class were responsible for keeping count of the participants in the various competitions. They were responsible for contacting and informing them of the time of the competition, cheering them on, as well as reminding them of the things to take note of and processes of the competition.

“Where’s the person from our class?” The sports committee member from Lu Qianling’s class walked through the noisy crowd. He went forward to check on the athletes who were waiting for roll-call, but he didn’t find Lu Qianling. Lu Qianling arrived late. She stood outside the crowd and shouted, “I’m here.”

When the contestants from the other classes saw Lu Qianling appear, they had a mocking look on their faces. “Class Two actually dared to deploy Lu Qianling for the Woman’s 1.5km race?”

“I’m afraid no one will dare to accept the challenge this time after losing to Class Five last year, right?”

“I thought that no one from Class Two would participate in this fruitless competition. Great, the entire competition will be lively once she comes.”

Everyone in the entire grade knew about Lu Qianling’s incompetence. A while ago, because she lost her homework and confronted the teacher, her parents were called to school. Everyone knew about it.

In their eyes, other than a group of book-gnawers, there was also a piece of trash called Lu Qianling in the two top classes.

“What took you so long?” When the Sports Administration Committee member saw that Lu Qianling had only appeared this late into the roll-call, their brows were knitted into a knot. When they heard the discussions of the other classmates, their expressions inadvertently became a little unsightly.

“The competition hasn’t started yet. The sun is so hot, so of course I have to rest under the shade at the side. Otherwise, if I get a heatstroke, will you run for me?”

The other sports committee members and classmates were telling the athletes that they would be waiting for them at the finish line. Only Lu Qianling got a short sentence. “In the competition later, just try your best.”

The sports committee member of Lu Qianling’s class was a fat boy. He did not have much contact with Lu Qianling, nor did he have any conflicts with her. In fact, he did not hate her. Perhaps he had heard too many bad things about Lu Qianling from the people around him, so he inexplicably developed a prejudice against her.

Currently, only the Sports Administration Committee member of Class Two was at the registration entrance. None of the cheerers were present.

Right now, the competition was more important. Even if the Sports Administration Committee member did not place their hopes on Lu Qianling, for the sake of the honor of their class, he could only let her do what she could.

Lu Qianling put her hands together and rotated her wrists. She raised her chin and looked at the finish line. “Go to the finish line and wait. Watch me break through the line.”

“The school’s sports meet has started a live-stream on the video platform. If you don’t want to lose face, you can still withdraw from the competition now.”

“Withdraw from the competition? That’s impossible.” Lu Qianling took off her UV protection jacket and handed it to the Sports Administration Committee member. She said calmly, “It’s embarrassing to run away at the last minute..”
