Chapter 929: Chapter 507: Streetlights and the Broken Leg Incident

"Don’t just sit there, get up and walk a few steps. You’ve just finished running, and you sit down right away. Which school are you from? Didn’t your teacher ever tell you?" Gu JianShe yelled at several boys who had just finished running.

After he finished yelling, he turned around to a middle-aged teacher next to him and said, "Old Wang, pay more attention to this side. I need to step away for a bit, there’s something else to take care of. I just found a promising student, who ran from start to finish with the girl who won first place. Just over there... Hey, where did they go?"

He scanned the crowd and saw Yang Hui who was having an animated conversation with a girl and immediately became furious, "Yang Hui, where’s the person I asked you to keep an eye on?"

Yang Hui was startled, and pointed, "They were just over there stretching... Ah? Where did they go?"

Gu JianShe angrily searched through the crowd again and again, scolding Yang Hui nonstop, "You boy, as soon as you see a girl, you forget who you are. I asked you to watch someone and you can’t even do that. Hurry up and look for them!"

Just now, he was negotiating with the ’promising student’ to find some time for a sports performance test, but he was delayed for a moment when someone called out to him. Before leaving, he had asked Yang Hui to keep an eye on him. Now, in the blink of an eye, the person had disappeared. No wonder he was anxious.

Yang Hui was also puzzled. He had intended to help Teacher Gu persuade that boy, but then a girl with the surname Liu called out to him, and he had been preoccupied talking with her about their future—since they were close to graduation, he and that girl had mutual affection for each other. They were currently discussing whether they could secure internships at the same place next year; this wasn’t just about their career prospects, but also their lifelong happiness.

He had been keeping an eye on that boy the whole time, never expecting to lose sight of him the moment he got distracted.

More and more athletes were arriving for the event. Coupled with students who came to cheer, leaders, teachers, and the like, the scene was chaotic, and they couldn’t find the person despite looking for a long time.

It was that same girl with the surname Liu who suddenly looked into the distance and exclaimed in surprise, "Teacher Gu, do you see those two over there? I remember the girl who ran first was wearing a yellow top..."

At her shout, not only did Teacher Gu and Yang Hui see, but the surrounding students also noticed—far off, there was a girl being carried on someone’s back, swaying on the narrow ridge between the green wheat fields; the yellow clothing was particularly eye-catching.

But the sight only added to Teacher Gu’s confusion. He stared in annoyance towards the road below, "How did those two get down there?"

Not just Teacher Gu was puzzled, the other students were also wondering. This was a highway, and although this spot wasn’t very high above the ground, it was still several meters up. There was nothing to climb down with, so how did those two get down there?

Provincial City had only opened its first highway a couple of years ago, and speaking of which was quite funny. When the highway first opened, there was no experience to draw from, and it wasn’t fenced off. As a result, there were motorcycles, bicycles, tricycles, tractors, and everything else on the road—even ox carts had been on the highway.

So when the highway was first constructed, protective nets were installed near the ground in places close to villages. But this section didn’t need any because it was several meters above the ground—this was the reason for everyone’s confusion.

"What are you giggling about?" Yan Fei was unaware that just now, to avoid trouble, he had leaped with the girl in his arms while no one was looking, causing so much confusion for those following. He was probing Xu Xiaoyan on his back—since they had come down, the girl seemed to have thought of something and just chuckled nonstop, keeping it mysterious and refusing to explain despite his repeated questioning.

"Guess?" Xu Xiaoyan continued to giggle foolishly, resting on Yan Fei’s back and gazing at the lush green wheat sprouts on either side with sheer delight.

"I have no idea," Yan Fei confessed after pondering for a while. "Come on, tell me, or I won’t carry you anymore!"

"Are you tired?" Xu Xiaoyan asked with concern.

"I’m not tired physically but mentally exhausted. I’ve guessed and guessed, but you won’t tell me. What’s the happy event?" Yan Fei said irritably.

"Hehe!" Xu Xiaoyan laughed foolishly again. "Our school’s leadership said that all the students who participate in the race will get a set of souvenirs. If you get first place, besides the competition reward, the main campus will also give a reward of a thousand yuan, and our branch campus will give eight hundred. The department’s leaders also said that if you can get first place, they’ll reward five hundred yuan too, and if the department funds are not enough, they will pay out of their own pocket."

"That much? So you’ve already earned over two thousand yuan this time?" Yan Fei exclaimed in surprise. "They give that much money just for running?"

"There’s even more!" Xu Xiaoyan’s smile could hardly be contained. "First place in the competition already has a cash prize, I remember it’s also a thousand yuan."

"Just for running and you get over three thousand yuan, has your school gone mad?" Yan Fei thought it was truly unbelievable.

"Hehe..." Xu Xiaoyan kept on giggling, laughing but still remaining somewhat cogent. "Maybe it won’t be that much, the five hundred from the department is just talk; who knows if they will actually give it!"

In fact, the leaders of the Provincial University Law School were also quite surprised; they didn’t expect a girl from their own faculty to have actually won first place.

For Provincial University to give out a thousand yuan as a reward for getting first place in a competition was nothing out of the ordinary; after all, it was a leading university in the province. If students from their school couldn’t secure any ranking in a competition, wouldn’t that be embarrassing?

Moreover, as the ’Laoda’ among many schools, not providing some reward for students who won awards wouldn’t be proper. Offering too little would also be awkward, especially if other schools gave more than their own."
