On the second day of the school sports festival, Mr. Qin once again threw the companyâs affairs to Chen De and his subordinates, then went to school with his two children.
Su Bei was surprised, and so was Su Xiaobao. The boy didnât say anything and even seemed annoyed when he saw Mr. Qin followed them to school. However, the joy in his eyes couldnât fool anyone.
Su Beiâs competition was scheduled today, a 400-meter middle distance race.
Although 400-meter race didnât require a quick sprint like the 50-meter nor did it test the endurance like an 800-meter one, but in fact, it was harder than the other two.
Originally other students, including Dong Wenqi, thought that Su Bei only wanted to participate and wasnât aiming for a win. But to everyoneâs surprise, Su Bei actually did excellently on the field and finally took the second place.
Mr. Qin took the back photo of Su Bei when she ran across the finish line and posted it into his WeChat with a short line: My daughter won the second place in race, not bad.
Not surprisingly, this post was instantly barraged with another wave of rainbow farts.
As for Su Xiaobao, who already won 5 first placesâŚ
Mr. Qin only said: Just so-so.
After finishing the only event she signed up to and even got the second place, Su Bei was naturally happy. Now she had nothing more to do, she was originally going to relax and watch the rest of the sports festival with Dong Wenqi while occasionally browsing the school forum and Weibo. But to her surprise, her classmate Li Xiaoyan came with their class leader. Their face looked awkward.
âWhatâs happen?â Su Bei saw Li Xiaoyanâs embarrassed face and asked.
Li Xiaoyan: âCan you run in my place for the next 4 x 100 relay race?â
Li Xiaoyan pulled Su Bei closer and whispered in panic: âYou see, my great aunt(1) suddenly comeâŚâ She also wanted to be a runner girl, but how could she know that her ârelativeâ would come uninvited today.
(1) Great Aunt: girlâs period.
Su Bei was stunned for a moment before nodding understandingly: âI can run on your behalf. But I never practiced short distance run and may drag our class down instead.â Su Bei then glanced at the class leader hesitantly. Even though she had some coaching for this sports festival, she only trained for the middle distance run.
Class leader: âYou did well in 400 meters. 100 meter wonât be a problem.â
All other girls in their class who were relatively good in sports have been participating in more than one competition, except Su Bei. The remaining girls were mostly at Dong Wenqiâs level, who were only suitable for the cheering team. After pondering her options, the class leader thought that Su Bei was the most suitable.
After a pause, she said to Su Bei: âItâs okay. Su Bei, you just have to do your best, no need to be pressured. On this race, our class only focuses on participation and isnât aiming for a win.â
All thanks to Su Xiaobaoâs and Xie Minxuanâs over performance. Because of those two boys, their class already won several first places from a number of individual competitions. Adding up these points, class 8-7âs current total score was far ahead of other classes in their grade. Even if they didnât get a good rank in this relay race, their current first position wouldnât be shaken. Moreover, she also had to be honest: Su Beiâs last spurt in the 400-meter race was pretty fast.
The class leader felt that their class wouldnât lose that easily.
âAll right, I will try my best.â Su Bei nodded and promised.
The class leader was overjoyed: âThatâs great! Weâre counting on you.â
Li Xiaoyan held Su Beiâs hand with a smile on her face: âThank you, Su Bei. I will send you a cheering message later.â
A moment before the race began, the class sports committee rushed to brief Su Bei about some precautions and tips for the relay race: âItâs okay if you are a bit slow. But when passing on the baton, you must make sure that both you and the next person are steadyâŚ.â
âLi Xiaoyan was originally the first runner. But you never had any practice before, so Iâll put you in the second run. That way, your burden will be lighter. Even if you are falling behind, no need to panic. Lin Xuefei and Sun Yaoyao will catch up laterâŚâ
Su Bei listened attentively and nodded.
The relay race was about to begin. All the runners have been ready in their designated position.
There were also voices cheering for Su Bei from the side:
âWow, god Su is also in. God Su, fight!â âSchool flower, Iâm cheering you!â âMy goddess, I love you~â âThermos little sister is on stage.â âSister in law, fight!â
Well, Su Bei had many nicknames.
The number of parents who came to watch today was less than yesterday. The seats near the podium were surrounded by students. Mr. Qin frowned slightly at his daughters many âstrange nicknames.â But what annoyed him the most was seeing many boys taking out their mobile phone and snapping Su Beiâs pictures.
Teen rebellious phase only attributing very small part of Xiaobaoâs tsunderenessâŚ. most of it is thanks to Mr. Qinâs gene lol.
