CHAPTER 988: CHAPTER 570: SHE’S HERE! (PART 2)

Guo Ran almost broke into a sweat.

She couldn’t take it anymore; she wanted to escape, but that would be impolite. So she reached for a tissue and wiped her forehead.

Sun Zhiqiang was secretly proud of his earlier performance, not expecting that he could combine the scenario with his own name and utter such clever, heartfelt words.

Simply remarkable, he was still gleeful about his wit when he suddenly saw Guo Ran take a tissue, so he asked: "What’s wrong?"

Guo Ran forced a smile: "A bit oily."

At this moment, the volume on the TV screen suddenly became fervent, filled with all sorts of shouts.

Guo Ran was drawn by the sound, looked up, and saw a blazing figure rush past the finish line on the screen.

Immediately, countless spectators flocked over.

The camera focused on the champion, and a familiar face entered Guo Ran’s line of sight.

Short hair, black eyes, thick brows, and an aura of distinction that could be felt through the screen made Guo Ran’s heart skip a beat.

’Why is it Jiang Ning; didn’t he say he was going to volunteer?’

The female host was still excitedly narrating: "1 hour and 7 minutes, the champion of the Yuzhou half marathon has emerged!"

Guo Ran was shocked and annoyed, with a hint of resentment: ’Clearly invited me to volunteer together, good Jiang Ning, secretly took the championship.’

However, when she looked at Jiang Ning being surrounded by the crowd, she sincerely felt happy for him. Guo Ran still remembered that the marathon champion’s prize money this time was a whopping 660,000!

Which teacher doesn’t hope their star pupil succeeds?

Seeing Guo Ran’s focus on the marathon, Sun Zhiqiang went along with her interest: "Wow, this champion is quite young; surprising Little Black didn’t take it."

...

With Jiang Ning taking the championship first, the group chat of Class 8 erupted in a commotion.

Wang Longlong: "So strong!"

Xin Youling: "So strong!"

Dozens of messages came in, all saying those three words, everyone became a repeating machine.

Jiang Yanan couldn’t control her emotions: "So amazing, so amazing!"

She always thought Jiang Ning’s athletic talent was very high, but never expected it to be so high that he directly won the championship of this competition.

Guo Kunnan: "I’m on site, awesome, really awesome!"

Saying that, he also sent a photo; you could see the second-place black man’s face looked very unpleasant.

"Hahaha, look how dark his face is!" Guo Kunnan laughed.

Duan Shigang: "He was dark to begin with, now you can’t see him clearly anymore."

Dong Qingfeng: "Lucky that those Little Black didn’t win the championship."

Jiang Yanan: "So handsome, just now Chen Qian said someone handed him a national flag and thought the championship was lost, who knew he wore the red flag and took the championship."

Lu Qiqi jumped in and said: "660,000! Ahhh!"

She was insanely jealous, if she had that money, she wouldn’t need to find a man; she’d be her own queen!

Seeing Lu Qiqi’s words, everyone suddenly remembered, yes, the championship prize money is 660,000, what a terrifying number. Knowing that many boys in Class 8 only have one or two hundred as pocket money per week.

660,000 is enough to last them until graduation from college without running out.

Everyone turned to discuss this prize money, Liu Chuandao: "Damn, if I knew earlier, I would have participated in the competition."

Yu Wen: "You think the prize money is that easy to get?"

Jiang Yanan: "Jiang Ning broke our school’s record in the previous school sports meeting."

Meng Zi Yun chimed in: "I know, he’s really good at the 100 meters."

A few good-looking girls publicly praised Jiang Ning, making some students who weren’t on good terms with Jiang Ning feel a bit uncomfortable.

Chai Wei sent a line: "Actually, winning the championship had some elements of luck; normally, the champion should’ve been Black Brother."

Liu Chuandao: "Yeah, that black man was way ahead at first, no idea why he suddenly lost his mind and stopped for BBQ, letting the ones behind catch up."

Chai Wei: "I checked An City’s half marathon record, it’s 1 hour and 4 minutes, while Jiang Ning’s this time is 1 hour and 7 minutes, a full three-minute gap, not very prestigious."

What he said was reasonable and backed by evidence, leaving no room for criticism.

"This is the organizer’s deliberate setup to make it difficult for the black athletes, be careful they might not come next time." Chai Wei remarked.

He subtly suggested that Jiang Ning was just average.

Ma Shicheng: "If they don’t come, so be it, whether they want to come or not."

Chai Wei: "They’re not coming, the marathon would lose its international authority."

Even though Dong Qingfeng doesn’t have much of a relationship with Ma Shicheng, he jumps in to oppose: "What international status do they have? Hilarious!"

"And he stopped to eat, wasn’t it because he was arrogant? Confident he could win, but see how Yang Sheng just ran past!"

Chai Wei, feeling a bit annoyed after being criticized, starts giving examples: "How can they not be considered international? They are our friends, back in the conference days, it was thanks to their votes that we could return to the united organization!"

Chen Qian: "Just to clarify, they voted against us more back then, and please remember, our return was not because of anyone, but due to our own strength."

Chen Qian is always the representative of rigor in the group, and once he speaks, Ma Shicheng replies: "Alright, alright, I just look down on them, few of them have quality."

Chai Wei: "It’s you who casually ridicules others that lacks quality, I’m also puzzled, why do you all resent them so much?"

Ma Shicheng: "Hahaha because I have low quality."

Dong Qingfeng: "If you don’t dislike them, I’ll have to dislike you (smile)."

Dong Qingfeng is not very old, but he has truly traveled far and wide and knows Little Black’s characteristics.

Lacking culture, yet naturally good at socializing, actively reaching out to the opposite sex. Within China, quite a few naive pretty girls get deceived by such people, played with and then abandoned, or worse, taken to Tianzhu and face endless torment.

Dong Qingfeng speaks decisively: "Let’s put the words here, when they outnumber us, it will be us who leave."

Ma Shicheng: "Longlong, show us a bit."

Wang Longlong: "1, Strayed into a superpower.

2, You are the most beautiful girl I’ve seen.

3, There are stars in your eyes.

4, Can we be together?

4, A Black Dragon is also a dragon.

5, You should be the ones to get lost!

6, Ancestors turned out to be golden dragons?"

Dong Qingfeng: "Hear the applause!"

Chai Wei: "A bunch of ignorant people."

Ma Shicheng: "I hope your wife’s ex-boyfriend is Black Dragon in the future."

Dong Qingfeng and Wang Longlong assist from the side; Chai Wei has no power to resist.

[System prompt: Chai Wei has quit Yu Zhou Fourth Middle School, sophomore class 8]

Dong Qingfeng sends a red envelope to celebrate.

Hu Jun opens it, "Feng brother is so generous, it’s actually 7 yuan!"

Lu Qiqi says: "You guys have gone too far, making him leave the group."

Dong Qingfeng: "Leave then."

Chai Wei’s actions instead make people feel he’s too immature, previously so many cursing battles broke out in the group, no one had left the group yet.

...

At the 20-kilometer point, as Jiang Ning wins the championship, many contestants just arrived at this supply station.

The event official treats everyone equally, takes out cards, displaying questions of the same difficulty, only those who answer correctly can have the barbecue.

Xue Yuantong is stuffed, this barbecue is so delicious, and there’s so much left!

Meanwhile, Li Shi is still observing in the crowd, hoping to have the chance to taste a bite.

Lin Zida says: "Don’t watch here anymore, let’s go to the finish line, the champion should be crowned soon, hope it’s not Little Black."

Li Shi: "Let’s wait a bit longer, just five more minutes."

"Alright." It’s just five minutes, not urgent for now, Lin Zida agrees.

Time ticks away, as five minutes approach, Li Shi prepares to leave, ready to lift her foot, when suddenly she sees a miracle.

Xue Yuantong is running towards the crowd, right in her direction.

Li Shi’s heart pounds, is she running for me?

She recalls the sports meet when Xue Yuantong generously shared jelly with her, a strong hope arises.

Then, Xue Yuantong runs back again...

Li Shi feels like she’s on a roller coaster: ’Ugh?’

Xue Yuantong runs over to Chuchu: "Ran a few steps, digestion feels much better, Chuchu do you want to try!"
