This humble Taoist priest wants to take the college entrance exam.

Chapter 195 Put me down!

Fortunately, the last subject, English, was relatively easy, and most students felt relaxed after the exam.

Unfortunately, we still have classes for the next two days, and there won't be a holiday after the monthly exams, but when I think about the school sports meet in the next two days, it's no different from a holiday.

After the exam, students returned to their classrooms and put their desks and personal belongings back in their places.

When Lin Mengqiu returned from the exam room in the experimental building, Chen Shi'an had already helped her set up the table and was carrying back the books that the two of them had piled up together from the back of the classroom.

He carried two stacks of books in his arms, so high they almost reached above Chen Shi'an's head. His expression didn't betray any heaviness; he simply kept reminding the other students as he walked:
"Make way, make way."

"Holy crap! Daoist, are you doing acrobatics? How did you manage to grab so many books all at once!"

"Master Dao, how about we practice the 4x100 relay later?"

"Oh, so we have to have evening self-study tonight?"

"Of course I want it!"

Chen Shi'an returned to his seat carrying two stacks of books. Lin Mengqiu, who had just entered the classroom, also quickened her pace and came over to help him take the books from his arms.

"Thank you."

You're welcome. How did the class monitor do on the test?

"generally."

"Did you fail the test again? I heard from everyone that the English test wasn't too difficult this time."

"...How did you do on the exam?"

"generally."

Lin Mengqiu rolled her eyes at him.

This time, the exams were more difficult in all subjects except English, especially math, which even she found challenging. Fortunately, she managed to solve all the problems.

Lin Mengqiu didn't know exactly how Chen Shi'an had done on the exam, but the results would be out in a few days, so she stopped thinking about it too much. She had been under a lot of pressure and was very tired from preparing for the exam, so she wanted to relax.

After tidying up his desk, Chen Shi'an extended an invitation.

"Squad leader, are you in a hurry to eat? How about we go to the track and field for some training?"

"Weren't you going to practice the 4x100 relay with Xu Zihan and the others?"

"After we finish practicing, we can practice the back-to-back ball relay."

"it is good."

Lin Mengqiu agreed, and then looked at Zheng Yining and Xie Mengxuan at the front table.

"Shall we practice relay races too?"

"...Okay! Let's go call Yu Fu!"

The class monitor took the initiative to invite them to training, so Zheng Yining and Xie Mengxuan didn't dare to run away.

These past few days, the four girls have been practicing the 4x100m relay a lot in PE class. They thought the class monitor was just forced to participate, but it turns out she seems to take it quite seriously. Now they definitely can't let her down...

……

Tomorrow is the annual autumn track and field meet at Yunqi No.1 Middle School.

In the afternoon, the track and field stadium was already being decorated. Many colorful flags with the words related to the autumn sports meet were planted around the green belt, making the whole campus bright and colorful.

The track, sandpit, and grass of the athletic field have all been tidied up. The originally empty rostrum now has a row of tables and chairs for school leaders to watch the games. The surrounding green belts have also been trimmed neatly, making it look much cleaner and tidier than usual.

On the eve of the school sports meet, such a grand spectacle made everyone feel like it was Chinese New Year.

The monthly exams have just ended, and the track and field stadium and various sports fields are bustling with activity like never before. The number of students training and exercising here has more than doubled compared to usual, and there are also many students taking a walk.

A beautiful song was playing on the radio, and as the sun set, everything in sight was bathed in gold.

Chen Shi'an stood among them, and as a student, he suddenly felt that the scene was incredibly vivid.

“Dao Ye! Let’s stick to our previous arrangement: Zhuo Ge will run the first leg, Yu Ze will run the second leg, I will run the third leg, and you will run the fourth leg?” Xu Zihan said.

"Okay, I'm fine."

"Okay, let's practice a bit. A top-three finish in the group stage is the minimum, and making it to the finals is a win!"

Because they didn't have a baton, the group used a thin book, rolled it up into the shape of a baton, and wrapped it tightly with tape to practice.

Chen Shi'an stood at the baton exchange point for the fourth runner, and standing with him was Lin Mengqiu, who was also the fourth runner in the women's relay.

"Squad leader, you want to have a competition with me?"

"It's just practice."

Lin Mengqiu didn't look at him. She just rotated her wrists and ankles to warm up. Her fierce fighting spirit was nowhere near the practice she was talking about.
Chen Shi'an knew her all too well; if he lost, it was just practice; if he won, it was because he was bad!
Just as they were about to start practicing, a pretty figure quickly ran over and stood with the two of them at the baton exchange point for the fourth runner.

Lin Mengqiu's eyes narrowed, and her expression became even more serious.

Chen Shi'an laughed and said, "Little cicada is also practicing relay races?"

"Hmph! Taoist priest, you'd better watch out, you can't outrun me!"

Wen Zhixia had already tied her hair up, and Lin Mengqiu, seeing this, also quietly took out a hair tie and tied her hair up as well.

Chen Shi'an turned to look behind him. Wen Zhixia was the fourth runner, Yao Jingyan was the third runner, and the first and second runners were her best friends. Chen Shi'an often saw the four of them together.

"Come on."

"Come on!"

The 4x100m relay race has a designated exchange zone and a pre-race zone. The runner receiving the baton can start and accelerate in the pre-race zone, but must complete the baton exchange within the exchange zone.

For ordinary students, the main techniques to pay attention to are baton exchange and pre-run. Last year, the two girls were on the same team and had never practiced. One dropped the baton and the other just stood there waiting to receive it. This year, they are rivals and determined to avenge their previous defeat!

Soon, the two girls' first runners started running together.

Apart from the girls in the sports class, most girls are about the same in terms of athletic ability.

Chen Shi'an watched as Liu Zhuoran, one of the boys, hadn't started running yet and was talking to someone.

Liu Zhuoran didn't start running until Qiu Yufu and Yao Jingyan, the third runners, also started.

After all, it was just practice, and everyone seemed quite relaxed. But after Qiu Yufu and Yao Jingyan handed the baton to Lin Mengqiu and Wen Zhixia respectively, their fighting spirit suddenly surged!
The two girls accelerated at lightning speed! Their ponytails, one long and one short, swayed behind their heads as they raced down the 100-meter straight in the final sprint!
When the two of them were almost halfway through the race, Xu Zihan slowly ran over and handed the baton to Chen Shi'an, who was also slowly starting his run.

Chen Shi'an sped up!

Having fallen half a distance behind the two girls, he quickly caught up and overtook them in a flash.

Lin Mengqiu: "?"

Wen Zhixia: "?"

What has passed?

Startled, the two girls stopped simultaneously, rubbing their eyes. The figure sped away before them, like a Maybach racing down an overpass. Only after a long while did the unstoppable wind surge up from behind them, ruffling their hair…

Xu Zihan and the others were also stunned, then they exclaimed:
"Holy crap! What just happened?!"

"Dao Ye is using nitrous oxide to accelerate?!"

"What's going on? I wasn't looking just now, what happened?"

"We're saved! We have a star player on our team!"

"Homelander, Daoist Master?!"

There was no timed race, and it wasn't an official competition, but judging from the incredible speed that Dao Ye just displayed, even Bolt wouldn't be able to match that!
In the blink of an eye, he reached the finish line. Chen Shi'an stopped, unlike the others who sprinted forward due to inertia from running too fast. He simply ran at high speed and stopped at the finish line.

Looking back at the two girls who were standing there dumbfounded, Chen Shi'an called out:

"Why have you all stopped? Run! Let's see who's faster!"

The two girls then came to their senses and continued running forward...

wrong……

Why was that stinky Taoist priest able to run so fast just now?!
Is he even human?!
……

After a brief practice session of the 4x100m relay, the three began practicing more fun events.

Wen Zhixia was quick; she immediately ran to Chen Shi'an's side.

"Taoist priest! Let's practice together and see!"

"You haven't even brought the ball over, how are you supposed to practice?"

"Xiaoyan went to get it, let's practice first!"

"Ok."

Lin Mengqiu: "?"

Yao Jingyan: "?"

Just as Lin Mengqiu and Yao Jingyan were about to get the volleyballs for their back-to-back ball practice, Chen Shi'an and Wen Zhixia were already back to back, their arms wrapped around each other's arms from behind, locked together tightly.

The feeling of locking each other's arms and leaning back to back was wonderful, and Wen Zhixia laughed happily.

"You're so tall! Your butt reaches my waist!"

Lin Mengqiu: "××××!"

The class monitor was furious.

Don't you have a partner?
Yao Jingyan, who was standing to the side, did not dare to speak.

“I remember when I was in elementary school, I often saw everyone playing a game,” Chen Shi’an said.

"What game?" Wen Zhixia asked curiously.

"so--"

As Chen Shi'an spoke, he tightly gripped Wen Zhixia's arm. Then, he bent down, and the pretty girl behind him flew up like a seesaw, her little legs kicking and bouncing in mid-air.

"Ah—! Hehehe—! Put me down quickly—!"

Wen Zhixia was surprised, embarrassed, and amused at the same time.

The sight of her legs dangling in the air brought a thrill, while the fact that her arms were locked in place brought a sense of restraint. The graceful curves of the girl's body were outlined, making Lin Mengqiu's face darken even more.

After playing with Xiao Zhi for a while, Chen Shi'an finally put her down. Wen Zhixia was still not convinced and wanted to carry Chen Shi'an on her back like that.

"You're so heavy!"

"Then I'll lie down?"

"Don't use force!"

Chen Shi'an cooperated with her, relaxing his strength, and the girl finally locked his arms in the same way, carrying him back to back.

But after only two seconds of carrying each other, they both swayed and fell onto the grass.

"Hey?"

"Giggle..."

Fortunately, the lawn was soft, so it didn't hurt when she fell, and Wen Zhixia had a lot of fun.

Lin Mengqiu, who was standing to the side, was not happy at all!

childish!

childish!!!

Seeing that Wen Zhixia was about to get up and take over her seat again, Lin Mengqiu quickly came over and pulled Chen Shian away.

Are you still going to train them or not?

"Alright, then let's train, squad leader."

Wen Zhixia hummed twice and went to train with Xiao Yan.

Seeing how much fun the annoying cicada had just had, Lin Mengqiu couldn't wait to stand back to back with Chen Shi'an and lock their arms together.

Before she could even properly feel the sensation of her arms being locked, she suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented!
"……ah!!"

The wicked Taoist priest mischievously lifted her up on a seesaw, just like Wen Zhixia had done before.

The class monitor was surprised, embarrassed, and amused all at once. Her long legs bounced around, instantly shattering her original aloof image.

Lin Mengqiu blushed and begged repeatedly, "Put me down quickly—hehehe—put me down—!"

"Didn't the class monitor want to play with me?"

"I want to train—"

"How about we do a relay race with the ball between our backs, class monitor? I'll drag you along, that should be fast enough."

"I don't want to—!"

Despite the extremely shameful posture, Lin Mengqiu found it incredibly fun and exciting, her face flushed red, whether from laughter or embarrassment was unclear.

Wen Zhixia stared at the two of them, making a low, guttural sound like a puppy about to bite. Yao Jingyan was startled and quickly grabbed Zhixia's arm, turning her to the other side so she wouldn't see.

"Zhizhi, I'll play with you. Next time I'll wear my taekwondo uniform and play with you!"

"...What the hell!"
