Was this considered as sending up their faces for their boss to slap?
Traumatized by those words, Xia Shangzhou stared grudgingly at Lu Benlai, the culprit who had started this conversation, and said scornfully, “You and your wretched mouth!”
Lu Benlai raised his hand and slapped his own mouth, “That’s right! Wretched mouth!”
Hearing those words, Lin Jiage turned his gaze back to his computer, which was currently displaying a picture of Shi Yao being awarded a medal for her victory in the 10km marathon. While clicking his mouse, he spoke up once more with a bright tone. Unfortunately, it also had a hint of glee which made a person really want to beat him up. “But then again, while there are countless roads that lead to Rome, there are still those who fail to find their own treasure. Just like how…”
Lin Jiage shot a glance at Xia Shangzhou and said, “… the goddess you met is my treasure…”
Then, his gaze fell on Lu Benlai, and he said, “… and the goddess you met has no interest in you at all…”
Xia Shangzhou and Lu Benlai were choked into silence for ten whole seconds.
And ten seconds later, Lu Benlai looked at Xia Shangzhou, the one who had initiated the conversation this time around, and criticized, “Don’t you know that silence is a virtue?”
Xia Shangzhou lightly slapped his mouth and cursed himself, “Will you die if you don’t speak up?”
…
On the morning of the second day of the Sports Meet, He Tiantian was participating in a long jump event.
It was scheduled for eleven o’clock.
Everyone had been on the field since eight, so most of the drinks they brought over had already been consumed by now. Thus, prior to her event, He Tiantian requested Shi Yao and the others to buy some bottles of water so that she could rehydrate after the event.
Thus, after He Tiantian entered the field, the three young ladies headed over to the school’s supermarket together.
Since their class was positioned at the innermost location of the stadium, it took them some time to leave the area.
While they were passing by the podium, a Student Union member sitting up there happened to announce the list of participants for the Men’s 3km Run.
The first name announced was Lin Jiage.
The moment his name was called, a huge wave of cheers immediately resounded across the stadium.
“Yaoyao, did you hear that? It’s Lin Jiage! He’ll be running in the 3km Run after this… We should quickly buy some drinks and come back so that we can at least catch his event!” Jiang Yue exclaimed in excitement as she pulled Shi Yao’s arm forward, urging her to hurry along.
When they entered the school supermarket, Shi Yao first took a can of RedBull from the shelves—it was the drink which He Tiantian loved the most—before grabbing a can of Scream 1 for herself. While Jiang Yue and Leng Nuan were still picking out their drinks, Shi Yao casually grabbed a packet of hawthorn and jelly from the shelves too.
While they were settling the bill, a thought suddenly came to Jiang Yue’s mind, and she turned to Shi Yao and said, “Yaoyao, aren’t you going to get a drink for Lin Jiage too?”
Shi Yao shot a confused glance at Jiang Yue.
Why do I have to get a drink for Lin Jiage?
Seeing through Shi Yao’s thoughts, Jiang Yue spoke up, “Lin Jiage is running 3 kilometers, so he’s bound to be thirsty at the end of the race. Why don’t you get a drink for him too?”
He either prepared some drinks himself or his roommates already got him some… But I suppose it wouldn’t be a big deal to get a bottle of water for him. Thinking back, he did protect me from Qin Yiran on my birthday the other night… And he also gave me a lot of ‘trash’ too…
Shi Yao pondered for a moment before replying, “Alright.” She stood hesitantly before the shelves of beverages for a moment, wondering what she should get because she had no idea what Lin Jiage liked to drink. Thus, she eventually chose to grab a bottle of Scream for him too.
After returning to the stadium, Lin Jiage and the other runners who were participating in the Men’s 3km Run were already in their positions at the starting line.
Along the row of runners, Lin Jiage’s figure was particularly eye-catching.
The men beside him were all busy doing their warmups, but he was the only one standing lazily on the spot, resembling a still painting.
