Chapter 454: Cannon Fodder Stepsister Doesn’t Want to Die (11)

Qiao Chuweng’s strength wasn’t simple either; she kept up with Jiang Lai’s pace with a relaxed and composed smile on her face.

Seeing Jiang Lai working so hard made Qiao Chuweng want to laugh even more inside.

She was certain she would be the champion in the end. After all, since her reincarnation, her stamina and energy had been amazingly abundant.

But she couldn’t win too quickly. She wanted to follow Jiang Lai’s pace to make her feel like she still had a chance to win and then, as they neared the finish line, she would easily pick up her speed, leaving her behind, allowing Jiang Lai to watch her back and see the gap between them.

Thinking this, Qiao Chuweng felt Jiang Lai speed up, so she accelerated as well.

"Wow, even when running, Qiao Chuweng looks so beautiful!"

"Qiao Chuweng!!! Go on!!!"

"Goddess, goddess, goddess, go on!!"

"It feels like she might be letting Jiang Lai take the lead. Our goddess is really so elegant; even while running, she can smile so beautifully."

Tang Song was shouting along with the crowd, only to have his mouth covered by Shen Weizhou.

"Brother Zhou, give it a rest. They’ve finished one lap already, but it looks like the goddess hasn’t even begun to exert herself. Jiang Lai is running so fast now, she’ll probably fall behind in the next few laps."

Shen Weizhou watched Jiang Lai running earnestly, her long hair drenched with sweat from the heat. The swelling impulse in his heart finally made him unable to resist shouting out loud. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Jiang Lai!! Go on!!"

Such a powerful shout caught everyone’s attention, and Tang Song gave him an admiring look before following with a loud shout.

"Jiang Lai, go on! Art Class Two, go on!!"

Inspired by the two, the rest of the art class shouted loudly along.

"Jiang Lai, go on! Jiang Lai, go on!!"

The shouts even briefly overshadowed Qiao Chuweng’s name.

By the end of the first lap, Jiang Lai was still at the front. By the second lap, rather than slowing down, she actually picked up her speed, widening the gap as all her competitors kept a steady pace.

Qiao Chuweng still kept pace, assuming that with Jiang Lai’s unprofessional running style, she would surely fall behind by the second lap, but unexpectedly by the second lap nearing its end, Jiang Lai was still maintaining a consistently increasing speed.

The smile on Qiao Chuweng’s lips was starting to become stiff.

To easily defeat Jiang Lai, she had kept a distance just ahead and behind her, occasionally overtaking her deliberately, and sometimes falling behind on purpose, but by the third lap, she was clearly starting to feel the strain.

Jiang Lai was still accelerating!

The 1500-meter race, the third and fourth laps were crucial. Competitors who ran too fast at the start would gradually be overtaken by this point, while those who had been running at a steady pace were beginning to speed up.

By the end of the third lap, Jiang Lai was far ahead, with Qiao Chuweng following closely behind, her smile completely gone, her breathing rhythm disrupted. Trying to match Jiang Lai’s pace had her nostrils flaring noticeably, despite giving it her all, she was still left in the dust by Jiang Lai as she sped up.

The last lap, the fourth lap.

Jiang Lai took a deep breath, relishing the exhilarating feeling running brought her. At this moment, she didn’t have to think about anything; her mind was filled with one thought, which was to run, and she only had one goal ahead, which was the finish line.

Qiao Chuweng began giving it her all to catch up, and at the final sprint, Jiang Lai indeed slowed down. Seeing this, Qiao Chuweng felt elated and continued to accelerate with all her might, almost overtaking Jiang Lai as they neared the finish line.

It was at this moment that Jiang Lai, who had been running ahead, suddenly turned her head to look at her and gave her a lighthearted smile.

"Keep it up."

Saying this, she turned back, and just as they were mere inches apart, she accelerated once again, crossing the finish line with an absolute advantage.

"Ah—!!! Jiang Lai is first! Jiang Lai is first!! Art Class Two is first!!"

The students from the art class were in an uproar.

Nobody expected that in the first event after the opening ceremony, Jiang Lai, who wasn’t given any hope, would turn out to win first place with such an excellent performance!

The commentator on the broadcast table quickly announced the results of the first event.

"Congratulations to Jiang Lai from Class Two, Grade Two of the Art Department, for winning the women’s 1500-meter long-distance running with a time of 5 minutes and 2 seconds in this sports meeting, and for securing the first gold medal of this event!

Let’s congratulate Jiang Lai from art class two here!!"

The commentator’s enthusiastic tone heightened the atmosphere of the entire venue. At the finish line, Jiang Lai, after sprinting out, allowed her body to slowly jog forward until she finally came to a gradual stop.

A ten thousand prize, secured.

Surrounding her were all sorts of congratulatory sounds, and Jiang Lai waved her hand. At this time, a bottle of sports drink was handed over.

Shen Weizhou handed her a towel.

"Drink some water, wipe your sweat."

In front of him, Jiang Lai’s strands of hair were disheveled and damp, sticking to her fair forehead and neck. At this moment, her pupils were intensely dark and bright, like the sky washed clean after a rainstorm, clear to everyone’s heart.

"Thank you."

Before today, Shen Weizhou was never sure if he truly liked Jiang Lai.

But at this moment, when he saw the girl in front of him smiling at him, Shen Weizhou was sure, he was truly in love this time.

This was the first time in his life he experienced such a heart-pounding, uncontrollable feeling.

He looked at Jiang Lai eagerly, as if looking at a pile of glittering gold.

"Jiang Lai, can we make up?

Can we?

I’m begging you."

Shen Weizhou bent down to match Jiang Lai’s height, appearing particularly humble.

Jiang Lai glanced at him with a sidelong look.

"I’m sorry, I need to focus on my studies, I don’t have time for a relationship."

"I won’t get in the way of your studies, really, you can do whatever you want while dating me, I’ll accompany you, I’ll study with you!"

Jiang Lai looked at him and smiled slightly.

"Then what do I get out of it? Just trouble for myself?"

"I... I..."

Shen Weizhou racked his brain, thinking about his strengths, finding that those usual playful things had no attraction to Jiang Lai.

Suddenly he remembered something, he hurriedly chased after Jiang Lai, promoting himself.

"My family has a super big, super big library, my mom’s a university professor, don’t you like studying? If you date me, I’ll take you to my house’s library to study."

Listening to this, Jiang Lai indeed felt a little tempted.

But she still only shook her head.

"I don’t like you."

"But I like you."

"That’s your business, not mine."

Shen Weizhou was filled with grievance and sadness, watching Jiang Lai about to leave. Even though he knew he shouldn’t be so thick-skinned, he couldn’t help but chase after her, cheekily asking.

"Then what kind do you like? I’ll make an effort to become what you like."

"I only like myself."

With that, Jiang Lai turned and left.

She still had several more events to participate in next, there was no time to waste words with Shen Weizhou here.
