Chapter 25
"Thanks." Yan Xi took the water Tu Qingluan handed to her and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Tu Qingluan had also participated in the men's 50m dash. He still looked lively and energetic after running once, his complexion unchanged.
"You look really tired?"
Her gorgeous face was flushed from the intense exercise, but her breathing was clearly chaotic, and her hair was plastered to both sides of her forehead by sweat.
"I'm...I'm fine....cough....cough...." Yan Xi felt a stinging pain in her lungs.
【This is too weak.....I'm going to complain to you, Pandora.】Yan Xi struggled to rub her calves.
【?】
【Did you make my physical fitness as frail as Lin Daiyu?】
【Lin Daiyu's fragility gives her a sense of charm and makes people cherish her.】
【If I lose, do you think your Zhou Zhou will cherish me?】
【......】
"Aren't you tired at all?" Yan Xi asked. She was out of breath after just one preliminary heat of the 50m dash.
The 50m sprint really took a lot out of you. She had used some techniques, but her body held her back severely. She barely managed fourth out of six people.
But this was just the preliminary group heat. She definitely had no hope for the finals.
She didn't know why, but she felt her body was not normal. Tu Qingluan just smiled at her, and didn't answer.
".....Smiling so happily? Did you get first place?" Yan Xi glanced at him sideways.
"No, there was a sports student in my heat who got second. I was running for my beautiful Yan Yan. Was I handsome?" Tu Qingluan couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Very handsome, you're the most handsome." Yan Xi flattered him a few times.
"Do you like it then, my Yan Yan?" Tu Qingluan moved his head closer.
"....When is Zhou Zhou's event?" Yan Xi unnaturally changed the subject and pushed his head away.
"It hasn't started yet. It should be around 2:30 in the afternoon. I also have the 1000m at around 4pm. Are you coming to watch?"
"Of course, once you finish come watch me run the 800m.....Ow!" Yan Xi was suddenly bumped on her left hand by someone.
Her hand tingled and went numb.
It was an unfamiliar boy.
"Sorry! I'm so sorry, are you okay?" The boy anxiously said to Yan Xi, wanting to grab her hand.
"Let go!" Yan Xi shook off his hand.
"I'm really sorry classmate, it wasn't on purpose. Let me add you on WeChat.....I'll pay your medical expenses...." The boy didn't seem to care about Yan Xi's disgusted attitude. He tried to move forward to add her on WeChat.
"You're in Class 6 right? What's wrong, are you blind? Bumping into people randomly?" Tu Qingluan pushed away the boy blocking Yan Xi and interrogated him.
"Tu Qingluan, I'm talking to Yan Xi! It's none of your business! What's wrong with you?" The boy was pushed and immediately started cursing.
Just as Tu Qingluan was about to tell him to get lost, he was suddenly pulled back by the hand from behind by Yan Xi.
"Heh...." Yan Xi laughed when she heard this.
"Do I really have to spell it out so clearly? Classmate?" Yan Xi smiled faintly, her gorgeous face cold and indifferent, as if she had never taken anyone to heart.
"I don't want to make a big deal about whether you did it intentionally or not, but your behavior is quite unseemly. So please leave now, okay?"
"Yan Xi...." The boy looked at Yan Xi's face, wanting to explain himself.
"Don't worry, shhh. I know your classmates are watching you...." Yan Xi gently interrupted him and made a hushing gesture.
Her voice suddenly became gentle.
When those seductive fox-like eyes looked earnestly at someone, it was as if that person was her whole world.
Yan Xi smiled faintly at the group of boys who had been watching from a distance. She raised her hand and waved at them.
In the sunlight, there was an enchanting allure.
The group of boys seemed to wake up from a dream. They hurriedly waved back at Yan Xi.
The boy in front of her gazed at Yan Xi as if enchanted.
Yan Xi was still wrapped in her captivating appearance, always guarded flawlessly against outsiders.
"Now is this considered an explanation?"
"Turn around and go back to them now, okay?" Yan Xi was still gentle, as if she hadn't been the angry one earlier.
Gentle yet alluring, with an attractiveness beyond her years, but still a vibrant teenage girl, diminishing this seemingly cursed beauty into just pleasant allure.
The boy stood in place as if obsessed, motionless for a long time.
Not just the boy, but Tu Qingluan as well.
"Let's go, next event." Yan Xi snapped her fingers and pulled Tu Qingluan away by the hand.
Tu Qingluan looked at Yan Xi pulling his hand with some complexity.
Was this being protected?
A practiced technique to reject people?
You shouldn't smile like that when rejecting people, it will only make them fall deeper.
Born with such alluring looks, even doing nothing would drive some people crazy. Let alone how she was earlier, which he had never seen before.
Like a poppy flower blooming to decay.
His heart was somewhat chaotic.
