Chapter 211: Wish



The cheers filled the sports field as the race started with a loud bang.

Straight from the starting line, Risa exploded into motion, her legs and arms moving in

perfect harmony as she quickly took the lead.

She had the greatest start, but then the ponytail-wearing girl on the line next to her started to catch up and took the lead with a burst of speed that left Risa in shock.

She pushed through the pain and fatigue, trying to catch up, but it looked like she was just getting further and further.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Soon, they reached the end of their turn, and the young men, before taking the baton, took a few running steps and then made the switch.

Quill, after receiving the baton, started running down the straight track and noticed that the person running ahead of him seemed to be running like lightning, getting further and further away!

However, the person on Markus' team had perfect running form and was gaining ground on him quickly.

While on the first fifty meters, the gap between them grew.

But then Quill managed to push through the final fifty meters faster than any other and managed to gain a few meters on the leading figure.

But he just shook his head and thought that winning was impossible.

At the switch, Alice grabbed the baton and started running.

"Go!" Quill shouted, but when he looked at the person who was running for Markus' team, he knew that the race was over and they should fight for the silver place.

"Go, Alice!" Laura and Reina shouted from the sidelines.

Alice's ponytail bounced behind her, and she looked very focused, her beautiful face determined and confident.

While the audience's cheers blurred into nothingness, Alice's feet started moving faster and faster.

The wind rushed around her.

She had never run this fast before, and to the shock of many, she started to gain ground on the leading runner, who happened to have won a gold medal in the women's event earlier today.

Since she already won that, no one in the audience expected that there was anyone that could challenge her.

However, to many's shock, Alice, who didn't even participate in it, was clearly the faster one! However, the gap that was created in the first two runners was too big to completely catch up. They arrived at the switching point, Adam and Markus immediately took a few running steps, and then the baton landed on Markus' hand first, and he immediately sped off.

Only a second later, Alice handed over her baton to Adam and shouted. "Go, Adam!" With a smile on his face, Adam exploded into motion and started running like a possessed demon, his steps long and powerful because of his tall body, quickly gaining ground on the leading runner.

His leg muscles were like coiled springs, propelling him forward with incredible speed.

When there were only fifty meters left in the race, Adam finally caught up to Markus. Markus couldn't believe it when he saw a silhouette appear on his peripheral vision. 'How, how, how could he be faster than me too?!'

He pushed himself so hard that he felt his muscles burning, but still, the person on the left line slowly passed him when there were only a few meters left in the race.

"No need." Alice shook her head and pulled him up by his hand. "Let's go~"

Adam looked at her with round eyes, and thought about what she would want, but he just

shook his head as he thought he was most likely overthinking things.

With hands locked together, they left the bonfire and headed straight home.

...

With the door opening, Adam and Alice entered their warm, cozy house.

It was dark as there wasn't any light lit up.

With the press of a lightswitch, light began to spread across the kitchen, to the living room,

and finally to the hallway.

As they removed their jackets and hung them by the clothes rack, Alice said: "Should you take a shower? We've been sweating today quite bit. I'll take one after you~"

"Mm, I should." Adam let out a few yawns as it had been a long day, and then headed straight

to the bathroom.

After he was gone from the sight, Alice calmed down her racing heart, then steeled her

resolve.

...

With water rushing down from the shower, Adam stood under it, letting the warm water fall down his naked, toned body.

He closed his eyes, trying to clear his mind of all the stress and worries of the day.

The soles of his feet were slightly burning because of the whole day of walking around and

running in those events.

After the shower, he just wanted to collapse on his bed and fall into a deep, peaceful sleep.

Because of the rushing of the water, he didn't hear the bathroom door open, and then, out of

nowhere, two slender arms wrapped around his body.

With the soft embrace, two soft breasts pressed against his back.

Adam's eyes shook, and he didn't even have to turn away to know who it was.

"I want my wish now~" Alice whispered into his ear.
