I’ll Carry You (3)

It was obvious he had never trained in any long-distance races before. When he reached the fifth lap, he suddenly threw up on the side of the track, his face as pale as a sheet of paper. But after he finished throwing up, he didn’t leave the field.

After gritting his teeth and drinking a few mouthfuls of water, he returned to the track. Didn’t even know where he got the strength, but he slowly reduced the distance from the first runner within another lap.

With Qin Yuan on Ruan Qingmu’s shoulder, they leaned against each other under everyone’s gaze and stood near the finishing line.

Behind them, several girls sneakily took their phones and pressed the shutter from time to time.

“I think Fang Li can get first place. What do you think?” Ruan Qingmu asked, watching closely the two people who were running close together in the distance.

Qin Yuan let out an “Mmm. I think so too.”

Ruan Qingmu thoughtfully added, “I also feel that he must have been trained in something. If not, he wouldn’t be able to run the 5000 meter based on his merits alone. Furthermore, he wouldn’t have gotten a rank in the long jump.”

Qin Yuan squinted his narrow phoenix eyes and attentively watched Fang Li in the distance. “But I can’t tell what he had been trained in specifically.”

Although he immediately threw up from running, his endurance was very good.

When he ran, his stride was even. Although his thighs looked lean, they weren’t noodles with no power at all. When he ran, it was clear that they had a muscular line, soft and smooth.

“Go, go, Fang Li, you can do it!” Very soon, the two people almost reached the finishing line. Class 9’s girls and boys were excited, madly shouting together at the top of their lungs.

The class teacher, Old Jian, had also just finished refereeing at a different competition and rushed over anxiously right then, standing with the group of students and rubbing his hands in excitement. “Good boy, good boy, it’s so unexpected!”

Fu Songhua ran along with Fang Li on the inner track. “Fang Li, hold on, just hold on! We’ll be there soon. I will treat you to tasty food after this race is over!”

At the side, Bai Jing rolled his eyes at him. Why was this person so annoying? On the way, he was the one advising Fang Li to quit after seeing him throw up. Now, he was also the one telling Fang Li to hold on for a while.

People who had no idea might think that Fang Li was someone from Class 1.

Fang Li’s face was already pale from running and his lips trembled slightly. But when he looked up, he saw a large group of people at the finishing line and heard Fu Songhua shouting in his ears and he suddenly gritted his teeth.

With the last strength, he tenaciously managed to catch up with the boy in front of him little by little!

With only the last few dozen meters left, countless people cried out in surprise. The boy leading the race knew it was bad, but his legs felt like they were filled with lead. No matter how hard he pushed, he couldn’t pick up any more speed.

With a helpless look, he watched as Fang Li closed in on him step by step and became the first person arriving at the finishing line!

“Ahhhh! Fang Li is so amazing!”

“A perfect ending. The last champion is from our Class 9!”

Class 9’s people almost went crazy. Nobody would imagine that Fang Li really would end up winning. A crowd of people rushed and vied to support Fang Li, who was on the verge of collapsing. “You can’t stop. You have to walk a little more. Just a little more! Quickly now!”

“Take a small sip of salt water. Don’t take a big gulp.”

A big, tall figure suddenly pried apart everyone and rushed in front of Fang Li, putting his arm on his shoulder without explanation. “Come, follow me to walk. Hold on a little more.”

Class 9’s boys mocked him. “Fuck, who is this person? We don’t know him, ah. Is this someone from our class?”

Fu Songhua’s justified voice came from the crowd. “This is the little brother I’m covering for. Go away – Ahhh! Fang Li, do you still want to throw up? Don’t throw up on me!”

Fang Li’s pale face could be seen from the gap between the crowd and he weakly leaned against him, his voice soft and barely audible. “No… I don’t want to throw up.”

“Ohh, I’ll take you to walk half a lap.” Fu Songhua seemed relieved. “Whatever you want to eat at dinner, I will treat you.”

On the side, Huang Ya and the others followed suit and immediately spat at him in contempt. “Go away, get lost. We will have roasted skewers in the group dinner tonight to celebrate the heroes’ victories. How’s that any of your business?”

Fu Songhua shouted, “Why didn’t I know?”

“Hell. Why did you need to know about our class’ group dinner? We just decided on it just now!” Bai Jing turned around and shouted at Ruan Qingmu, “Sports representative, isn’t that right? Let’s go have roasted skewers tonight!”

The girls also braced themselves and pushed Niu Xiaoqing to stand out. “We want to go too. Can we?”

“It’s over. If Sister Niu is also going, it’s difficult to say who will get who drunk first.”

“Hahaha!”

Ruan Qingmu stood there and looked at the noisy boys, the corners of his mouth slightly rising.

“The people in our class are quite amazing, aren’t they?” He turned to look at Qin Yuan with bright eyes.

Qin Yuan indifferently said, “Not bad. It’s mainly because their class sports representative is responsible.”

Ruan Qingmu stared at him and finally couldn’t help but smile.

It was a proud and smug smile.

“Their class sports representative also says that someone’s leg will swell.” He lowered his head and looked at Qin Yuan’s feet. “Tch. It’s already swollen.”

The sun sank a little toward the treetops at the west side of the sports field, the orange glow shining in their hair with a golden-red glimmer.

Ruan Qingmu raised his head and looked at Qin Yuan, softly coughing once.

After hesitating for a while, he nonchalantly said, “Okay. You’re pitiful… I’ll help carry you.”

Qin Yuan was stunned and froze on the spot.

Ruan Qingmu bent down. His pure black vest was soaked with sweat and his beautiful butterfly bones were faintly discernible. “I’ll give you five seconds to jump on my back.”
