Chapter 909: Chapter 499 Long Run Exhibition_2

"This is too vague, where am I supposed to guess!" Yan Fei could never have guessed, and to let the girl feel proud for a bit longer, he could only make wild guesses. "Did you score well on an exam? Or did you participate in some school activity?"

"Hmm... this, you’re kind of right!" The girl nodded vigorously. "Do you know that there’s a college student cross-country race coming up soon?"

"I didn’t know!" Yan Fei honestly answered. "Cross-country what? Bicycle cross-country? Motorcycle?"

"Silly, it’s running! We are all still students, why would we compete with vehicles!"

"Running, eh! Where to? How far is it?"

"It’s quite far, the specifics haven’t been announced yet, but I heard that girls have to run eight thousand meters," said the girl, who, once she started talking, did not beat around the bush but spoke non-stop. "I have no idea where in Provincial City there’s a newly built highway that’s almost finished, and in about a month there will be a cross-country long-distance race on this new highway. All the universities in Provincial City will participate, and I signed up too!"

"That’s not bad! Is there a prize for the first place?" Yan Fei, in order to show support for his wife, pretended to be extremely interested. For someone with his monster-level physique, ordinary sporting events really couldn’t raise his spirits!

"I don’t know yet, do you understand the concept of honor? Who needs prize money!" Xu Xiaoyan gave him a glance. "Aren’t you going to ask why I signed up?"

"You wanted to sign up, so you did! Is there some mystery behind it?" Yan Fei showed his puzzlement.

"It’s not as simple as you think, our school had a selection race, and only those who passed it could sign up," said Xu Xiaoyan proudly. "I wasn’t even planning to go at first, but it was the dorm boss who said that it’s the participation that counts. Everyone from our dorm went, but after running for a while, they all gave up and just cheered me on. As I kept running, I became our seeded player. How about that? Aren’t I amazing?"

"Amazing, amazing! You must have come in first, right?"

"No!" Boss Yan’s flattery wasn’t well received; the girl felt discouraged. "I thought I was the first, but during the final lap, everyone kept telling me to not hurry since I was already first. We were chatting and running, and I inadvertently got overtaken..."

"Uh..." Yan Fei could imagine the scene already.

It must have been that there were too many participants in the selection race. Some people, in the heat of the moment, signed up on a whim, but once on the track, they quit after running just a bit. The scene was probably quite chaotic, and the girl was likely chatting away, thinking she had the win in the bag...

Indeed, the situation was quite like what he imagined, but the final scenes were truly speechless. A bunch of enthusiastic girls from her dorm had all signed up. In the end, only this one ’seeded’ player was left running, while the rest simply cheered on Xu Xiaoyan.

The selection race involved running laps on the track field, and in the final lap, while others were sprinting, this group was saying there was no rush since they were already in the first place—their ’encouragement’ had quite an effect, to the point where first place was lost.

But the selection race itself was not very strict to begin with, there were no officials counting laps at first, just their classmates keeping track. The tallying started after most had dropped out.

Even though the girl didn’t take first place, the school treasured her as a gem. Those who persisted to the end were drenched in sweat with pale complexions, who could be like her, having run several kilometers, yet still lively and chatting with the girls running alongside her on the track.

The teachers on the field were really anxious for her at the time. Who runs a race like this?

"It’s okay, the selection race was probably just casual, just be serious when the real race starts."

"Yeah, they all say the same thing, that if I don’t get distracted, I can definitely be first," said the girl, her spirits lifting after being downcast just moments ago. "I’ve discovered that I’m actually quite impressive, I didn’t expect to place so effortlessly."

The girl didn’t seem to realize that she indulged in good food and drinks every day, with beef spilling out of the fridge. Stuffing great food into her belly and exercising daily, she was much stronger than an average girl.

If she couldn’t even win a place like that, all the good food would have been eaten in vain.

"When the race comes, I’ll run with you. When the time comes, we will definitely win a place, at the very least top three," Yan Fei promised, cheering the silly girl on.

"Mmm, I’ll train hard during this time and try my best to compete!" The silly girl was suddenly modest.

"Not try your best, we must get a good place," Yan Fei continued to encourage.

"Okay!" The girl agreed, then whispered softly, "I need to buy clothes."

"Sure!" Buying clothes was such a simple matter, there’s no need to ask! Yan Fei agreed swiftly. "What kind of clothes do you want to buy? If you think the ones in Provincial City aren’t good, shall we go to Hong Kong to buy them?"

"It’s not the kind of clothes you’re thinking of." The girl blushed a little as she spoke. "I want to buy those tight sportswear, you know, the ones that look like what you see in magazines, the tight kind you wear on the inside. Otherwise, it’s not convenient to run, and I don’t feel confident running at full speed..."

"How come you don’t feel confident running at full speed?" Yan Fei didn’t catch on immediately.

"Are you a pig?" The girl shot him a glance, then leaned in and whispered something in his ear.
