The Older Brother of My Student is My Secret Crush-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.
When he passed Yu Na, he pretended nothing had happened. He even blew her a roguish flying kiss.
Yu Na: "......"
Xiao Chen: "......"
After blowing the flying kiss, he suddenly realized that Xiao Chen was standing on the side — diagonally behind Yu Na.
He was staring at him with a strange look.
Anyway, that look was not friendly.
Qiao Rui couldn't help but speed up to get rid of that creepy gaze.
Xiao Chen stood behind with his arms crossed. His gaze involuntarily leaned towards the front left.
Yu Na wore a grey knitted sweater with her hair tied up in a high ponytail. From the back, her slender snow-white neck was revealed.
He thought, there must be students chatting with her all the time, making chatting noises. That was why he couldn't help looking in that direction all the time.
Xiao Chen tried his best to lower his own sense of existence. He had already stood at the very back.
But he still couldn't stop the hot gazes that landed on him one after another.
Although he was brought in by Yu Na, he was now keeping his distance. So people were just curious about him and wouldn't ask Yu Na.
Xiao Chen decided to go to the parents' stand.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw a young male teacher walking towards them.
He finally stopped in front of Yu Na.
"Teacher Su?" Yu Na greeted him with a smile.
Su Zheng was the physics teacher of Grades 3 and 4. He was around the same age as Yu Na. They were supposed to have a lot in common, but Yu Na didn't have the intention to communicate more with him.
They just maintained a relationship between colleagues, occasionally saying hi to each other.
Xiao Chen's gaze was attracted by this greeting again.
Su Zheng looked at the water she was holding and jokingly said, "Doing wholesale?"
Yu Na was a little embarrassed. "It's for my student."
"Qiao Rui, right?"
"Um."
Yu Na didn't have the intention to say more. Her gaze followed Qiao Rui.
Her attention was all on the person diagonally behind her.
Su Zheng tried to chat again, "Well, would you sell me a bottle of water?"
"......Huh?" After Yu Na reacted, she directly took out a bottle and lightly said, "Not selling, only giving."
Su Zheng was amused by her joke. He took over the mineral water bottle with the previously awkward manner gone.
Seeing that he didn't mean to leave, Yu Na didn't know what to say either.
She turned her head slightly and saw Xiao Chen standing expressionlessly behind her, with his mouth pressed in a straight line, still staring at the playground.
But she felt something was not right.
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: "......"
