“Damn! Those last few dozen meters looked like watching a 100-meter hurdles race!”
“Xu Lin was so cool just now! I kind of understand why those girls are into him.”
“Me too.”
“The main thing is he looks good. Even if we ran that fast, it wouldn’t have the same effect.”
“True.”
“Zhou Mei, see? Handsome Xu is really amazing!”
“Yeah, he is amazing!”
“But he’s not mine! Boohoo~”
“Isn’t it normal for attractive guys to be popular?”
Zhou Mei smiled, patting her friend on the shoulder. She looked up and saw that her friend was really crying, not pretending.“Why are you crying?”
“I don’t know, I just feel so sad.”
“Well, you take your time being sad. I’m going to find my boyfriend.”
“When did you get a boyfriend?”
“Didn’t I tell you?”
“Ah! I’m stunned. I’m the only single one in our dorm now!”
Xu Lin listened to the surrounding noise and the occasional shout of “Xu Lin, you’re awesome!” He also smiled and sat up from the track.
He looked around and found that Zhang Kang had already slipped away. But next time that brat comes to harass Ji Yun, I won’t be so polite!
The referee came over and noted his number. Xu Lin stood up and walked outside. Although he wasn’t too tired, his legs felt a bit numb.
In that last bit, he really gave his all and performed exceptionally well.
People probably thought he slowed down earlier to show off, but that wasn’t true. His legs were genuinely feeling weak, so he had to adjust before the final sprint.
“Xu Lin, want some water?”
“No, no, I just had quite a bit.”
“Junior Xu, let’s add each other on QQ.”
“No, no, I’m being monitored at home.”
“Haha, got it, got it.”
“Stop talking. If the teachers found out, they will send Xu Lin home to rest.”
“Hahaha!”
Amid the laughter and chatter, Xu Lin left the area around the track and walked to a tree. He didn’t mind the dirty stone slab and sat down directly.
A breeze blew from afar, flowing into his sleeves and collar, and though he was sweaty, it made his body feel cool and he shivered.
He leaned back and prepared to lean against the tree, but the next second he felt that he was pressed against someone
He looked back and saw Chu Fengyi’s pretty face with a frown, and his head was right between her thighs.
“Sorry.”
“Why didn’t you use your lightness skill? You ran the whole way, that’s too dumb.”
“What do you mean dumb? In a race, you should race properly. I feel like using that skill is cheating.”
“You’re just too serious, just like before.”
Chu Fengyi also sat down. Xu Lin quietly watched her profile, remembering when they sat under a tree in their past life.
Back then, he insisted on a face-to-face duel, even though he could have defeated him with one move from behind. Then Chu Fengyi, or rather Wei Ran at the time, scolded him.
“But isn’t it my seriousness that you like?”
“Hmph… I don’t think so anymore.”
Hearing Chu Fengyi’s words, Xu Lin tilted his head to the side and leaned on her shoulder.
“You’re all sweaty, don’t lean on me.”
Although Chu Fengyi complained, she didn’t push him away. He smiled, squinting his eyes.
Smelling her fragrance and feeling the cool breeze, this is what life is all about!
“Where’s your sister and the others?”
“They went to buy you some medicine.”
“Hmm? What medicine? Is anyone feeling unwell?”
“Your knee must be injured.”
Xu Lin rolled up his pants and found that his knee indeed had a layer of skin scraped off and was bleeding a little, but it was already starting to scab.
“This little scratch is nothing.”
“I said it’s nothing too, but they made a big deal out of it. By the way, how did it feel to have six beauties cheering for you today?”
Chu Fengyi raised a delicate golden eyebrow, her blue eyes glanced at him with a scrutinizing look.
“Very happy, what else?”
“For example, the thought of starting a harem?”
Hearing this from Chu Fengyi made Xu Lin immediately alert. Even if he did think about it, he couldn’t say it out loud.
“What are you thinking? I didn’t have a harem in my past life, did I? Weren’t you the only empress?”
“Oh! You dare bring that up. Sure, there was only one empress, but I lost count of the others behind the scenes. You were a real scumbag, and you’re still the same now. I really feel like punching you!”
“Go ahead.” Xu Lin replied lazily, and Chu Fengyi punched him, but it didn’t hurt.
“Modern society is great, you can only marry one. No matter how capable you are, you have to choose just one, and I’m waiting for your choice.”
“What about your dad’s situation then?”
“That’s a special case, legally there’s only one.”
“Then I’ll stay single forever.”
“I think Uncle and Auntie will give you a lesson on that.”
Xu Lin lifted his head from her shoulder and rubbed his temples. Yes, dealing with Mom and Dad would be the hardest part.
Even though Mom liked every girl, she certainly wouldn’t let him be a playboy or stay single forever.
“Xu Lin!”
Xu Lin glanced into the distance and saw five girls, each with their own unique charm, walking toward him. Ji Yun was holding a bag.
“I’m a grown man with just a scratch, do you really need to buy medicine?”
“Ji Yun wanted to buy it for you, I didn’t feel that sorry for you.” Chu Qingchan said with a laugh, and Bai Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement.
Su Qingwan and Qin Yunhe, standing nearby, didn’t say anything. Ji Yun shyly nodded and then walked over to him.
“Even if it’s scabbing, there’s still a risk of infection since it wasn’t disinfected.”
She put the bag down, took out some iodine, and poured a bit onto a cotton swab, then crouched by his leg.
“I can do it myself.”
“If you do it yourself, you’ll just pour it on and be done, right?”
“I’ll apply it carefully myself.”
“You can’t reach the side of your arm. Don’t move.”
Ji Yun glared at him, and he resigned himself to sit still. On closer inspection, he found a wound on the inside of his forearm.
He hadn’t noticed it, but Ji Yun spotted it immediately. He didn’t know what to say.
This girl was too gentle, too good at taking care of him. If they got married, Xu Lin couldn’t imagine how pampered he would become under her care.
“Just now, when you crossed the finish line, we were all so happy. Ji Yun saw you fall and was so scared she rushed down from the platform to buy medicine for you.”
“Sister Chu, I just thought if the injury wasn’t treated, the friction from clothes would be very uncomfortable.”
Ji Yun’s ears turned red as she lowered her head and carefully cleaned his wound, then applied two band-aids.
Chu Qingchan and the others watched Ji Yun clean Xu Lin’s wound with care, each with their own thoughts.
Qin Yunhe nudged Su Qingwan gently and whispered, “Aren’t you going to help your boyfriend with his wound? You’re letting the little sister steal a march on you.”
Qin Yunhe said this out of jealousy, as she herself also wanted to apply medicine for Xu Lin.
“Just a little friend, there’s nothing to fear,” Su Qingwan said, pretending to be calm.
“By the way, did you say that the beautiful woman with the hat is Chu Qingchan?”
“Yes.”
“Then you’re going to compete with your idol.”
“Don’t go pairing people up randomly.”
“Wanwan, people need to face reality.”
“Sister Qin, I don’t think I can compare to her.”
“You have me.”
“Yes, with you here.” Su Qingwan nodded, suddenly feeling something was off, but couldn’t quite pinpoint what it was.
