Chapter 606: 602

Chapter 602

No one had expected Xiao Yi to be so lucky, that because of a run, he caught the dean’s eye. Everyone was filled with immense regret, thinking, why wasn’t it themselves who had won the championship on the track just now? Why hadn’t they thought to participate in this running event? Perhaps if they had joined and trained more regularly, they too could have caught the dean’s attention this time.

Many had silently decided in their hearts that starting from today, as soon as they got back, they would begin to run like mad and set up a training plan to improve themselves. They had missed the opportunity this year, but in the next meet, they were determined to show their worth and hopefully catch the dean’s eye, perhaps even securing a place as one of the dean’s graduate students.

As a result, a wave of sports and training fervor swept through the School of Mathematics, which led to surprisingly improved performances in several events at the next sports meet. Although they had long been weak and could not become a sports powerhouse in one fell swoop, they did manage to shake off the label of the weakest academy. This was beyond the expectations of the dean of the School of Mathematics, Beichen Feng, Xiao Yi, and others, but that’s another story for another time.

Filling the air with those envious and resentful stares, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but smile wryly. He had not foreseen that such an insignificant sports event, a mere run, would not only draw Beichen Feng but also the dean of his college.

Although he was unsure about the somewhat unsettling and overly enthusiastic dean, he did not comprehend the significance of his favor. However, seeing the surrounding stares, he sensibly felt that he had unwittingly stirred up a storm and incited public outrage, and it was now quite inappropriate to remain standing there. If he lingered, who knew if among these piercing gazes, one might turn tangible like in legends and pierce right through him.

What’s more... the watery eyes of those girls might well drown him...

Especially when he noticed that a girl from before seemed to have regained her senses and appeared poised for a greater onslaught, Xiao Yi decisively concluded that discretion was the better part of valor. In a flash, he dashed into the crowd and disappeared without a trace!

"Damn, my eyes aren’t playing tricks on me, right? That was Xiao Yi, wasn’t it? And he can run that fast, too?"

"You’re kidding, right? Isn’t that a bit over the top? Didn’t he just finish running ten thousand meters? Shouldn’t he be exhaustedly sitting on the ground, catching his breath?"

"It’s him alright. He must have been holding back. Think about it, during the long-distance event, he didn’t go all out! Did he look even remotely exhausted? Clearly, he had energy to spare!"

"Damn, that’s insane. If he’s that crazy, and didn’t hold back, he might have broken the school record. Damn, I would never have guessed he had it in him!"

"......"

Watching Xiao Yi vanish in a puff of smoke, it took a while for people to react, and then they burst into exclamations, especially after seeing that most athletes who had finished the race like Xiao Yi were sprawled on the ground like dead dogs, which only added to their shock.

A huge commotion and even more intense discussions immediately flared up again throughout the entire sports field.

For the entire afternoon, every corner of the sports field buzzed with conversations about Xiao Yi. The discussions weren’t limited to the field and spread to every corner of the school, everywhere talking about a student from the School of Mathematics named Xiao Yi.

Phew phew...

I’m finally safe.

Xiao Yi didn’t know that his recent escape had caused another huge stir among the crowd. Escaping from the throng and finding a corner, where he felt completely safe, he finally took a long deep breath.

Thinking back on the terrifying gazes from the students, especially the girls, Xiao Yi still felt a lingering sense of fear.

It seems I’ll need to be more careful next time.

After a wry smile and a shake of his head accompanied by a silent warning to himself, Xiao Yi turned and headed towards the school’s entrance.

Today’s competition was over, and he had nothing left to do. As for the award ceremony, he had never gone up to receive any awards before; someone from the academy always picked it up on his behalf. After the events of today, he was even less likely to be taking the stage to collect any awards. He had just gotten out of the wolf’s den and had no intention of entering a tiger’s den. This time, they would surely collect the award for him as well.

However, Xiao Yi still called Fatty Tang to let him know he was heading back. As expected, he got an earful of complaints from Fatty Tang, but Xiao Yi didn’t bother with him. After listening to his grumbling for a while, he simply hung up the phone.

............

"Is everything arranged?"

In a corner of the campus, a long-haired young man with a sullen look was staring at another boy beside him.

"Please rest assured, Third Young Master, everything is ready. This time he won’t be able to fly away even if he had wings. We’ve put watchers at every school gate, especially at the ones he commonly uses. We’ve laid a Heavenly Net around there!"

The boy’s face showed a trace of excitement and he nodded heavily with satisfaction.

"Good!"

Hearing the boy’s words, the long-haired young man’s eyes revealed a pleased expression as he exclaimed.

Kid, this time, let’s see how you die!

Damn, some backwater bumpkin dared to lecture me, Third Young Master Zhao, and even had the nerve to hit me? If I don’t peel off a layer of your skin, then my last name isn’t Zhao!

I, Third Young Master Zhao, will teach you a good lesson today!

A savage and cruel look flashed in the young man’s eyes, almost ready to savor the vengeance he had been harboring in his heart. He felt an indescribable sense of delight.

Suddenly, in his excitement and anticipation, he remembered something and turned to the boy, "Have you reminded them that this guy has some skills, especially with his feet? He’s pretty good, you know?"
