Chapter 595: Why does everyone love pulling people into this?

Fatty Tang looked at Xiao Yi, who seemed genuinely about to leave, with some confusion in his heart, thinking, could he have really misunderstood the boss? Was there really nothing between him and Zhao Yuhua?

However, just as this thought had begun to form in his mind, and he scratched his head, preparing to follow Xiao Yi’s footsteps, his expression suddenly froze, and then, his eyes lit up.

Not far ahead, Zhao Yuhua, appearing out of nowhere, had stepped out from the crowd and was now looking coldly at Xiao Yi.

Oh boss, boss, I was almost fooled by you, damn it!

He acted so damn convincingly, but alas, how could you have expected to give yourself away so soon, how could you have expected that someone wouldn’t continue the act with you!

Now, let’s see how you keep it up?

Fatty Tang, with a smirk on his face as if he had uncovered a major conspiracy, glanced at Xiao Yi and hummed through his clenched teeth.

Xiao Yi too hadn’t expected he would bump into Zhao Yuhua like this. Seeing her coming towards him, his face also showed a bit of astonishment, as if he hadn’t expected to see his Zhao Yuhua here. His face revealed a trace of awkwardness, and after a while, he somewhat sheepishly greeted her, "Hi."

After saying hi, he felt his greeting was somewhat foolish and quickly added, "Congratulations on winning the championship."

"Thank you."

Luckily, Zhao Yuhua seemed to either not notice the embarrassment on his face, or if she did, she simply didn’t care. Her expression remained unchanged, still cold, and after hearing his words, she just nodded and said thanks.

"I hope the rest of your competition goes smoothly."

Watching Zhao Yuhua’s expression, Xiao Yi breathed a slight sigh of relief. However, seeing Zhao Yuhua fall silent and not speak further, he too felt at a loss for words. After an awkward silence, he remembered there were still competitions to come and managed to say something polite.

"You too."

Zhao Yuhua gently nodded her head.

"Well, I won’t disturb you any longer, I still have some things to do, so I’ll head off first."

Seeing the indifferent expression on Zhao Yuhua’s face, Xiao Yi didn’t know what else to say, feeling the awkward atmosphere. He was not really coping well, but since Zhao Yuhua seemed totally unaffected, as if she could keep the same demeanor if he stood there forever, he just felt inferior.

After an slightly awkward cough, he thought the best plan was to make a tactful exit.

Such a beauty, beautiful indeed, but interacting with her seems truly not a pleasant thing!

After pulling Fatty Tang away, Xiao Yi replayed Zhao Yuhua’s indifferent expression in his mind. Although he knew that her indifference might largely be influenced by her Cultivation Technique, there was still a weird feeling about it.

"Boss, are we just leaving like this?"

Fatty Tang hadn’t heard the conversation between Zhao Yuhua and Xiao Yi. He was watching them talk, and suddenly, Xiao Yi pulled him away, which left him somewhat puzzled.

"What else? You want her to invite you to dinner?"

Xiao Yi glared at him.

Of course, being invited to dinner by her is impossible, but according to the script, shouldn’t you be the one inviting her to dinner?

Fatty Tang thought silently to himself, but seeing that Xiao Yi seemed ready to snap in embarrassment, he wisely kept his mouth shut. Since the boss was determined to hide this matter, if by any chance Xiao Yi really got angry and struck him, he wouldn’t be able to withstand a punch or kick from Xiao Yi.

For the next two days, the track meet continued vigorously.

Since Xiao Yi participated in too many events, almost every day he had an event. In the long jump held on the second day, Xiao Yi once again became the biggest dark horse of the competition, stunning the crowd of students and taking the long jump championship after an extremely "arduous" struggle.

As for the four by four hundred meters race held on the third day, although his teammates weren’t as strong as the opponents, despite Xiao Yi catching up furiously during the last leg, he still failed to reverse the fortunes of the School of Mathematics, barely managing to secure third place.

Although the School of Mathematics didn’t win the championship, Xiao Yi’s performance once again caught everyone’s attention, becoming the brightest highlight of the event. During his sprint in the last lap, nearly all the students were stunned by his run, which looked like the whipping of windmill blades.

Afterward, someone tested and found that Xiao Yi’s running speed had actually broken the school’s record!

Xiao Yi’s tremendous running speed also caught the attention of a sports department teacher serving as a referee. At the end of the competition, with renewed enthusiasm, the teacher invited Xiao Yi to join the school team, which left Xiao Yi feeling a mix of laughter and tears. After tactfully refusing, seeing that the teacher seemed to have set his sights on him, with a relentless, never-give-up attitude, Xiao Yi had no choice but to quickly employ the art of escaping once more—the best plan is often to flee.

"Annoying, Fatty, why do our school’s referees seem to love pulling people in so much? Last time it was the high jump, the long jump was the same, and now this running event too."

After escaping from the venue, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but complain to Fatty Tang.

Of course, to Xiao Yi’s annoying question, Fatty Tang only gave him a glare. He had become numb to Xiao Yi taking the crown, performing outstandingly. He had realized that this boss he acknowledged was a freak, whether it was high jump, long jump, or running; his performance was infuriatingly spectacular.

Despite appearing not very adept and somewhat clumsy, he was always incredibly talented, with amazing jumping ability...

In a blink, the sports meet had progressed to its third day. The track and field events were nearing their end, save for the most thrilling, eye-catching short-distance races, leaving behind only the least glamorous long-distance races.

According to the schedule, the ten thousand meter race was set for the afternoon of the third day, the longest running event in the school, and also the third event Xiao Yi had signed up for.

Although the long-distance race, compared to the exhilarating short-distance races, was relatively dull and uninteresting, the stadium was as lively as any other event, if not more so.
