Chapter 46

Jiang Wei's rare "mischievousness" caught Yi Ming off guard for a while.

By the time he finally realized that his childhood sweetheart was simply adorable just now, the little girl had pursed her lips and run off.

Yi Ming did not participate in the subsequent health cycling event, as the previous race had left his back drenched in sweat. He handed his mountain bike over to a teacher for safekeeping and took off his cycling attire, intending to take a cool shower in the campus pool.

On his way to the pool, Yi Ming was walking with his head down when he suddenly heard a call from behind.

"Yi Ming."

The voice was soft and small, tinged with a hint of hesitation.

Yi Ming stopped in his tracks and turned around.

"It's you?"

He furrowed his brow slightly, a chill creeping into his words, "What do you want?"

"You... you did really well in the race just now."

Qi Nian bit her lip, standing awkwardly in place.

"Thanks."

Flashback to before the race started.

Fifteen minutes until the event commenced, Qi Nian, as the event planner, sat on a stool backstage, absentmindedly doodling circles on a sheet of paper covered in lead streaks.

It was a discarded entry list ruined by a printer ink cartridge malfunction, and Qi Nian's pen was circling Yi Ming's name.

She truly liked him, but he was also truly indifferent towards her.

Qi Nian was startled by a notification sound while lost in thought, causing her to draw a curved line across the paper with her pen.

"Qi Nian, what are you doing?"

"At the backstage, getting things ready before the start. What else could I be doing..."

"Oh, what was the name of that guy you like again?"

Her friend asked curiously.

"Yi Ming... Why, do you want to chase after him too? Let me tell you, there's no chance. He's just an ice block..."

Qi Nian tapped on her phone screen dejectedly.

"Who wants your ice block? I've got a boyfriend, you know? I just wanted to tell you—your chance has come."
