The Ugly Girl Gained a Beauty Purchase System-Chapter 24: School Sports Meeting 01
Chapter 24
The opening ceremony of the school sports meeting came soon.
[It's so hot.] Yan Xi stood under the scorching sun, listening to the principal babbling on and on up there.
On the stage were the passionate speeches of the school leaders, with a large group of boys and girls gathered on the playground and enduring the sun that was already high up in the sky at 9:10 in the morning.
The Qingteng School Sports Meeting was an important event that came around once a year, and students from all three grades had changed into the battle uniforms belonging to their own classes, shouting out their classes' dazzling slogans.
When it was their class's turn to shout their slogan, Yan Xi felt that no one could outshine their class’s dazzling existence.
Why say that?
Because their class uniforms were eye-catchingly red! Reflecting red! Standing out from the “mild-mannered” classes around them!
And the front was even printed with the name "Senior Year 2 (3) Class xxx"!
If not for the color being red, she almost felt like she was a prison inmate eating numbered meals!
Peng Haiyang called it: "Young people should be fiery and passionate, having vitality!"
At the start, almost the entire class had stubbornly rejected the idea! But under the threats from Peng Haiyang, no one dared not wear them!
"The annual school sports meeting is precisely an opportunity to demonstrate you Qingteng students' spirit of unity," the principal lectured on stage, his words impassioned.
[To endure what ordinary people cannot endure is the key to accomplishing great things.]
[Pangpang, personify and sympathize with me.] As Yan Xi heard this, she started admonishing.
[...]
Finally he finished speaking, and Yan Xi standing in the lineup could finally disperse and return to home base to prepare for the events.
"Yan Xi, it's almost your turn soon, here is your schedule for today."
"Mm." Yan Xi smiled and accepted the competition schedule.
Why was she only looking at that damned schedule now?
Of course it was because of Zhou Zhou's rules, saying that they would not announce it after registering, only announcing it on the morning of the actual competition day.
Yan Xi scanned the form, barely able to keep her expression under control.
She saw that next to Yan Xi's name, the event column was completely filled up.
[Wow! Girls 800m, 4x100m relay, girls 400m, girls 50m sprint, and shot put too. Damn, does he think you're Superman!?] Pandora also cried out in surprise upon seeing it.
If she were to run all of those, it would be strange if her legs weren't wasted. f𝚛𝗲𝐞𝐰e𝗯n𝗼v𝗲𝚕.𝚌o𝐦
It was still doable in the past.
"Contestants participating in the preliminary heats for the boys and girls 50m, please report to the preparation area for check-in!
"Contestants participating in the preliminary heats for the boys and girls 50m, please report to the preparation area for check-in!"
"Contestants participating in the preliminary heats for the boys and girls 50m, please report to the preparation area for check-in!"
The broadcast tirelessly played over and over again.
Pandora saw Yan Xi tug at the horribly conspicuous sports uniform she was wearing, appearing nonchalant but with fists tightly clenched.
"That's right, do well in the competition, transfer student." Zhou Zhou deliberately came over to provoke her.
After all, he had painstakingly picked the "good events" for her, plotting without holding back.
Yan Xi didn't speak, her lips pressed in a line, with anyone being able to see that the girl was in an extremely rotten mood.
Yan Xi took a deep breath and went to prepare for that damned 50m sprint.
"Brat, wanna compete with me?" Zhou Zhou leisurely watched as Yan Xi hurried off, feeling very delighted to be able to start the competitions happening this morning.
Seeing Yan Xi meet trouble delighted him to no end, since who allowed her to anger him so much since the start of the school term!
Let me show you I can't play you to death?
[You're not worried at all?]
[It's not time yet.]
[What?]
Yan Xi lowered her eyes, with lips moving slightly, silently counting down.
"3"
"2"
"1"
"Yan--Xi!!!" Zhou Zhou suddenly yelled Yan Xi's name through gritted teeth at her receding back.
"What's wrong, Bro Zhou? Why yell so loudly?" Kong Jie poked his head over inquisitively, looked at the schedule, then couldn't help but laugh wildly.
Zhou Zhou clutched the schedule Guan Yongyan had just handed over to him, his expression hideous.
"Hahahaha.....laughing to death....hahaha....is Bro Zhou going to perform....whoosh....hahahaha....hula hoops....hahahaha....? I'm dying of laughter, guys come watch!!!”
On the student's main competition schedule there were no events, but the leisure competition events were! There!
The student main competition was the official scored competition for the school sports meeting, but each year there were also students who didn't have the opportunity to participate or couldn't engage in high-intensity exercise. Qingteng had established a dedicated competition area for these students in the spirit of treating all students equally, which was the leisure area, containing things like hula hoops, handkerchief throwing, sit-ups, jump rope, hacky sack, push-ups....they had everything.....with most of the participants being girls, and also some guys, though not many, just to have some fun!
But hula hoops, jump rope, and hacky sack were definitely danger zones for females!
Not a single proper event, how was this accomplished!
"Did you forget one thing, if I don't run, who's going to run for you guys? Hmm?" Zhou Zhou said through gritted teeth.
"No problem! Being able to watch Bro Zhou do hula hoops and shake his waist hahaha, what's running one time got to do with it?"
"Hahaha....you're right Kong Jie, being able to see Bro Zhou do hula hoops, hacky sack, and jump rope.....my suffering is nothing in comparison hahahaha...."
Just thinking about that flirtatious scene, nearly all the male and female students around who heard couldn't help but laugh uncontrollably.
He really wanted to smash their dog heads in.
"You agreed to this too?" Zhou Zhou fixed his gaze full of pressure onto Guan Yongyan.
"Why not agree? Yan Xi said Tu Qingluan agreed to run for them, and Tu Qingluan's physical ability isn't bad either right? Giving other students an opportunity isn't good? Zhou Zhou." Guan Yongyan had never cowered, it was offending people either way, so she'd decided to go along with it! She was old and open-minded now!
Damn! Damn! Damn!
Maybe I'm not human! But you really are a dog!
"Go for it, Bro Zhou!"
"Bro Zhou can do it, the sports and leisure prince!"
"Bro Zhou, tell me when you're competing, I'll go record it!"
"Remember to give Tu the reward!" Guan Yongyan added.
"Alright! Then thanks to Tu this time."
"Don't worry, I'll pick the most expensive skin for Tu!"
At this time, Tu Qingluan was not at home base, and was walking towards the preparation area.
Tu Qingluan didn't look back, giving a thumbs up gesture to the people behind him, indicating he understood.
"Xi Xi." Tu Qingluan ran over to curry favor, eyes blinking rapidly, extremely similar to a puppy begging for a reward.
"Let's go to the library this weekend, I need to go prepare to run now." Yan Xi answered him.
Tu Qingluan smiled slyly like a puppy who had gotten its way.
"Then I'll go prepare for the competition too, Xi Xi."
One week ago.
Ever since sending her home that day, Tu Qingluan had continued to send her home every day, with Yan Xi rejecting multiple times to no avail, and thus she had gotten used to it.
"Tu Qingluan." Yan Xi tugged at Tu Qingluan's sleeve, a little embarrassed in her eyes.
"What's up, Xi Xi?" Tu Qingluan was a bit surprised. Yan Xi didn't usually say that much to him, with him being the one constantly providing input.
"Can you help me with a favor?"
But their relationship had become much more familiar, with Yan Xi sometimes helping him grab books or making some snacks for him.
"Sure!" Tu Qingluan readily agreed.
"But if I agree to participate, I'll have to go train, but the course load is really heavy, and my dad said he'd hit me if I wasn't in the top 3 for midterms.....but it's fine, since it's something Xi Xi wants, nothing else matters, who allowed me to like....."
Seeing the gossiping glances sweeping over repeatedly from the side, and Tu Qingluan speaking so loudly as if wanting the whole world to know.
He started confessing again.
"Stop! I'll tutor you!" Yan Xi hurriedly interrupted him, her face flushed red.
"Awesome! Then thanks to academic goddess Xi Xi!"
