How come you're also my ex-girlfriend?

I wanted to take a break, but then I remembered that tomorrow is the sports meet... Damn it, it seems like I can only grit my teeth and go to sleep.

Of course, he didn't forget to praise Shen Yourong before going to bed.

This isn't an implication that the other person should keep sending messages; it's just an encouragement that this spirit is commendable!

Shen Yourong also said a few more words than before, and the boy seemed to remember them all before he fell asleep.

"Well... good luck at the sports meet tomorrow, I'll be there to watch."

Hmm...she's also a good girl who understands the charm of sports.

"Ow!!"

The next day, as the morning light streamed into the room, Xu Yan unleashed a dragon's roar and woke up refreshed from his bed.

After getting dressed and walking out the door, I found my parents had already prepared breakfast and were waiting for me in the living room.

"Is today your sports meet?"

When Xu Yan finished washing up and came to the dining table, Xu Jia'an asked.

"Yeah... What? You guys don't want to come, do you? You'd better not."

Xu Yan refused to let this happen in advance. Well... some things are okay for classmates to see, but it would be quite awkward if relatives and family members saw them.

"Who watches sports meets when they have nothing better to do? I don't even watch the Olympics."

Xu Jia'an said irritably.

Wang Hui gave Xu Yan two boiled eggs, saying, "Eat more today so you won't be too tired for exercise."

"There's only one mother in the world who's good," Xu Yan said, looking like she was about to cry, "Waaah~"

"Stop messing around and eat!"

The Empress Dowager gave Xu Yan a light tap on the arm, and the young man put away his food and started eating with a grin.

Until we finished eating and were ready to leave.

Wang Hui reminded her son, "The competition is important, but be careful not to get injured, okay?"

"Know it."

"Don't get into another fight. You should make things easier for me," Xu Jia'an said irritably.

Xu Yan scoffed, "Wait until I dye my hair yellow, drive a ghost fire engine, and have a Liqun cigarette in my mouth, then you'll behave yourself."

"I'll break your legs someday!"

If it weren't for his current physical condition, Xu Jia'an would have loved to give this brat a sweeping kick right there and then.

The boy, laughing and joking, skipped out of the house with his schoolbag on his back.

The morning sun shines brightly, and the autumn breeze is refreshing.

Jiang Yiyao, who chose to go to the bus stop by herself, didn't sit on the back of the bicycle. Xu Yan pedaled hard as a warm-up.

Damn it, let's get started!

……

Chapter 116 Youth and the Smoke of War

When I arrived at the school, banners were already hung up outside.

The event was called "Welcome all leaders to the Liangcheng Normal University Affiliated High School Sports Meet."

I never imagined I'd become a leader in my senior year of high school... And yet, someone's checking if a leader is wearing a school uniform? How rude!

When we arrived at the classroom, people were already helping to move the desks, and there was even an entrance ceremony for each class.

During a break between classes, Wang Fuchuan led all the students in the class through the exercise as a kind of rehearsal.

Xu Yan was greeted by Qin Yifan as soon as he arrived, "Come on, move a table. Damn it, you're only coming now and trying to escape, huh?"

Xu Yan looked at him with annoyance, "Why do you need me to help you with just one table, you grown man?"

"Damn it, is this table that light?! And it's easy to bump your knees going up and down stairs!"

"How could you possibly break your meniscus?"

Xu Yan put down his schoolbag and helped Qin Yifan lift the other side of the table. Without even catching his breath in the classroom, he had to move the table directly to the playground.

There's no other way; we always have to divide the classroom into sections, find shady spots to put our belongings on tables, and write short essays to submit to the broadcasting station, otherwise the class will lose points.

It's such a ritualistic thing.

However, these jobs all belonged to those who did not participate in the project, and Xu Yan only felt sorry for them for three seconds.

The entire playground was packed with people. What usually felt like a rather empty space during PE classes now looked quite spectacular with almost the entire school gathered there.

"Damn, this sports meet is so real! It doesn't feel this lively in the last two years!"

After setting up a table in the experimental class's area, Qin Yifan sat down to rest. Looking at the busy crowd on the playground, he suddenly spoke.

Xu Yan also sat down, and there were basically people all around.

"Of course, didn't a lot of people ask for leave during the sports meet the last two years? It felt like there were hardly any people on the playground except for those competing."

"Is the focus this time on building cohesion?" Qin Yifan said with a smile.

Xu Yan laughed too, "How about we click on the lucky bag in the top left corner first?"

Suddenly, a panting sound came from the side, startling Qin Yifan. "What the hell are you doing, making noise? Xie Fei, are you having asthma?"

Xie Fei said irritably, "It's such a luxury to be able to move a table with Zhang Zhiwen. This guy doesn't even lift a finger when he's crossing his legs... I'm exhausted!"

Zhang Zhiwen also walked over slowly, looking very cautious, with his legs slightly turned inward, making him look like a young lady from ancient times.

"Where did I not exert myself? Don't make unfounded accusations."

"You call that exerting effort? I felt like you were about to collapse onto the table. You're really something."

"Alright, alright, you two stop arguing, my head is throbbing."

Qin Yifan stopped the two from blaming each other, and the four of them sat down side by side.

"That girl has nice legs. Aren't we supposed to all wear school uniforms?"

"Who said that? It seems like the people holding up the signs can wear their own pants, as long as they don't wear anything too vulgar."

Who in our class will hold up the sign?

Xie Fei suddenly asked a question.

Qin Yifan rolled his eyes. "You fucking bastard, weren't you in the rehearsal? Are you blind?"

"How the hell am I supposed to know who it is when I'm standing so far back? I can't even see the person clearly."

Unfortunately, Xie Fei's build meant he could only stand at the back. His height wasn't the main issue; it was his waistline that made it difficult for shorter people to see his sides.

"It's your sister Ye."

Zhang Zhiwen said irritably.

Xie Fei suddenly realized, "Oh right...it always seems to be her, right?"

"Nonsense, who else could it be but the tallest and most well-proportioned girl in our class? It's just a pity that Sister Ye never shows her legs, sigh."

Zhang Zhiwen sneered, "Don't even think about Ye Shutong, she's a very traditional girl just by looking at her demeanor and speech."

Is it traditional?

Xu Yan could only laugh when he heard this. I've seen the goddesses you all think are unattainable in a swimsuit, humph!

Soon, people gradually gathered on the playground, and the tables and chairs were all put away.

School leaders and education bureau staff have begun to appear on both sides of the stage, while the students are gathering according to their classes to prepare for the opening ceremony.

Soon, a voice came over the loudspeaker.

The students lined up in rows on the playground, as if they had been transported directly to the flag-raising ceremony on Monday morning.

"Ahem, everyone, please be quiet..."

The principal, who looked to be in his fifties and was wearing glasses, was in high spirits and began the opening ceremony of the sports meet.

After the leaders finished their rambling, it was unclear how many words could be gleaned from that broken microphone; Xu Yan, standing in the very back row, couldn't hear a thing.

Finally, there was the much-anticipated entrance ceremony.

Each class marched in formation to the front of the stage and then loudly recited their slogans.

These are the moments when the most clever troublemakers in each class put their intelligence to use.

"Class One, Class One, is truly extraordinary!"

"..."

"Class 3, Class 3, I'm from Class 3!"

"..."

"Class 4, Class 4, and the three classes ahead!"

It was a complete mess; all sorts of monsters and demons had come out.

The principal on the podium, who had been beaming, gradually began to force a smile, and sweat slowly began to appear on his forehead.

The education bureau leader standing next to him was all smiles.

Once all these activities were finally over and everyone returned to their respective "camps," they could finally relax a bit. Since Xu Yan didn't have any projects during the day, the boy found a shady spot away from the sun.

Thinking about when I could sneak out my phone and have some fun, amidst the lively sounds of activity on the playground, a familiar aroma wafted from beside me.

It was so familiar that Xu Yan almost reacted instinctively, grabbing it and refining it in an instant.

However, the large number of people gathered at the sports field eventually calmed Xu Yan down.

"Huh? What brings you here?"

Wearing a school uniform jacket and trousers, Wen Xueyu, whose white glitter had dimmed considerably, lightly jumped down the steps next to Xu Yan, startling him.
