Chapter 33: I won’t blackmail you.

Chapter 33

"......"

No, what's his situation?

Suddenly appearing, suddenly teasing her.

Is this still Xiao Chen who advised her to go home and talk to her parents last time? He was very rational at that time.

Yu Na took Xiao Chen to the place she had just pointed out.

It was the closest place to the runway.

During the sports meeting these two days, the weather was a bit hot and the sunshine was also sufficient. The place where they stood happened to have a large canopy overhead, perfectly shielding the bright sun.

Many teachers and students were also standing here.

With the sound of a gunshot, the 5,000-meter race officially began.

During the competition these two days, Yu Na had been very actively cheering for the students, providing them with food and water.

But Xiao Chen just stood here, and she became a little restrained.

Xiao Chen wore a full black sportswear, hugging his arms, standing here like a seasoned P.E. teacher, listlessly watching the bustling playground.

Yu Na held several bottles of mineral water in her arms. She freed up one hand to take out her phone and took several pictures of Qiao Rui running.

After taking the photos, she put away her phone and stood awkwardly here, secretly glancing at him from time to time.

Suddenly, she took out a bottle of water and gently poked Xiao Chen's arm.

Xiao Chen lowered his head, "What?"

He happened to stand at the intersection between the sunshine and shade. The moment he lowered his head to look at her, Yu Na's heart trembled lightly.

She handed him a bottle of water and asked, "Do you want water?"

"No."

"......Oh."

At this time, the casual chatting voice from above clearly passed into Yu Na's ears — "Look at that man below, so handsome!"

"Really handsome!"

"Is that handsome guy a P.E. teacher?"

"Doesn't seem so, I haven't seen him before."

"Then he could be a new one!"

"That's right. Old Teacher Tian was transferred, right? So it's very likely that a new one came."

"Oh my god! Teacher Tian taught us P.E. He's gone now, so could this handsome guy—"

When the two girls chatted to this point, they suddenly became excited.

This conversation also went into Xiao Chen's ears without missing a single word.

He didn't have much reaction, but subconsciously took a few steps back, retreating to the innermost place where the students upstairs couldn't see him.

Yu Na looked up at the two girls above. Seeing her, they obediently shut their mouths.

Qiao Rui had sprained his ankle before. Although he was fine now, his running speed was not as fast as before.

Ignoring Su Zheng, she took two steps back to stand beside Xiao Chen and asked again, "Are you really not drinking water?"

This time, he didn't refuse again. Simply put: "Drink."

Just as Yu Na was about to hand him a bottle of water, she inadvertently saw the fine sweat on his forehead.

She took back the water bottle and said, "Wait a minute, okay?"

After saying that, she ran to a nearby place and took out a chilled mineral water bottle from an ice bucket. She jogged back to his side.

"Drink this instead."

The corners of her eyes and mouth curved into a sweet smile.

Xiao Chen glanced at her and then hastily withdrew his gaze. He took over the water bottle, "Thanks."

He unscrewed the bottle cap.

It was indeed a bit hot, so he drank very quickly. After a few big gulps, half of the bottle was gone.

His Adam's apple bobbed up and down a few times. Yu Na noticed a faint mole on his throat.

She really wanted to poke it.

While Xiao Chen was drinking water, he noticed Yu Na's indescribable gaze.

However, their eyes met for an instant and her gaze quickly shifted away again.

As if nothing had happened.

Xiao Chen: "......"

...... When there was only the last lap left of the 5,000 meters race, bursts of cheers suddenly erupted from the stands.

Qiao Rui's legs and feet were not well recovered, but after so many laps, he didn't show any intention of giving up. Every time, Yu Na felt that he was about to not be able to hold on, but every time he still persevered.

His ranking was at the back at first, but he didn't show any panic at all on his face. He just maintained his own speed throughout.

While the people in front were panting for breath, his speed remained unchanged.

In this way, in the later period, he overtook the people in front one by one.

In the last lap, he almost went shoulder to shoulder with the top ranking boy from Grade 9.

On the stands, the students who were eating, drinking, playing around and watching the fun just now all gathered to the front. Grade 3 and Grade 9 cheered for their own class.

Watching from below, Yu Na's heart was gripped tight.

Xiao Chen didn't go back to the parents' stand either. He stood beside her and took the rare initiative to chat, "Are you that nervous?"

"Yeah," Yu Na watched anxiously at the two people chasing each other in front. But her words made Xiao Chen unexpected, "I'm worried about Qiao Rui's feet."

Xiao Chen was surprised. "I thought you were afraid he wouldn't get the first place."

"I don't care about that," Yu Na looked at the playground and said, "After all, 5,000 meters is no joke...."

Seeing her caring about her brother, Xiao Chen's eyelashes trembled lightly.

He lowered his head just a tiny bit, softly comforting her: "Don't worry, it'll be fine."

Before Yu Na could feel touched, Xiao Chen seemed to want to ease the inexplicable atmosphere between them. He casually added a roguish line: "Even if he really gets injured, I won't cheat you."

Yu Na: "......"
