The sports field erupted in exuberant cheers, far more explosive than any previous event had caused.
Yang Sheng, with her short and handsome hair, was already leading the others and ultimately carried the flag across the finish line.
After circling the field with the flag, the second-place runner still hadn't reached the end.
The class president, Chen Siyu, Bai Yuxia, and the boys from the class all crowded around to congratulate Yang Sheng on her first place.
It wasn't until then that Li Shi, leisurely and long-legged, arrived late.
Standing at the finish line, she gasped for air.
Too fast, she never could have imagined that Yang Sheng's physical fitness was so good, even the high school sophomore athlete Hu Mengqing could only eat dust behind her.
She lost... lost miserably, a chasmic gap.
A swirl of regret coiled in her heart—Li Shi was angry, frustrated, ashamed, a mix of emotions.
