Chapter 45 - Sudden Marriage (2/2)

That calm and firm voice sounded confident and was very comforting.

In the next second, his agile figure rushed forward and chased after the opponent in front of him

One.

Two.

He easily surpassed the other runners. His feet appeared to never touch the ground, and everything was a blur. The other competitors watched in horror as he caught up to them from behind. Unwilling to give up, they started speeding up as well. The last runner is always the most competitive and exciting. If a reversal were to happen, it is usually at this point in time.

Although Qin Xu’s team had an accident, he wasn’t anxious at all. He continued to race forward as per usual with a look of confidence. As if he was a dazzling dark horse, he came out and killed everyone ruthlessly. From third place, he ran to the front and managed to grab first place.

Their class cheered enthusiastically, and they happily ran up to surround Qin Xu.

Tang Ling Ling who was helped over to the medical station by Huang Shao also finally managed to reveal a smile, “That’s great. If we lost this race because of me, I wouldn’t know what to do.”

Huang Shao rolled his eyes at her and said with a tone of frustration: “What do you meant you don’t know what to do? Big sister, the blood is almost reaching your shoes and yet you still ran. You don’t care if you’re legs are ruined? If it was actually a broken bone, with you running like that it would only make it worse.”

Tang Ling Ling snorted and glared at him in response: “Don’t you have any ambition or passion?!”

Another female classmate watching on from the side could only say weakly: “Ling Ling, he’s just being concerned about you……..”

Tang Ling Ling snorted and looked away without a word.

Huang Shao’s expression didn’t look too great. Seeing that the school nurse had finished sticking the gauze, he deliberately reached out and pressed slightly onto the wound. Tang Ling Ling immediately cried out and yelled: “Are you crazy?!”

Huang Shao quickly dodged her slap and pouted: “You deserve it.”

Tang Ling Ling looked over at the female classmate, “This is called concern? He wants to kill me!”

Female student: “…………”

School nurse: “………” Students these days.

After the student’s relay race, it was time for the teachers relay race. With loud cheers, the students took this opportunity to take photos of their teacher’s struggling expressions to show them later.

Very quickly, the sports festival had come to an end.

Jiang Yang and Qin Xu stood on the steps next to the podium. In this location, they could clearly see more than half of the field. Jiang Yang took a sip of water and took a step forward wanting to see things a little more clearly when he suddenly felt a strange pulling force from behind him. This force made him fall back uncontrollably and lose his balance. As he lost his balance, he couldn’t help but feel a strange sense of déjà vu. Just as he was about to fall down the steps, he found himself falling into a pair of warm and strong arms. The iced water that didn’t have a lid spilled out and made a large wet patch on Jiang Yang’s chest.

Qin Xu held onto him and laughed at him: “Practicing your tripping skills?”

Jiang Yang’s clothes were drenched, and they felt very uncomfortable sticking to his body. He glared at him with a look of dissatisfaction and subconsciously thought that this must have something to do with the system.

Sure enough, almost at the same time, the system’s mechanical sound was heard: “Initiating punishment: Both parties cannot be too far from each other otherwise you will be forcefully pulled together. Time duration is one day.”

Jiang Yang & Qin Xu: “………..??!” Why the sudden punishment?!

The system answered very seriously: “You ignored the task so it is automatically deemed as failing the task.”

“When was it?”

“It was during the teacher’s relay race.”

So to say, earlier it was too rowdy and they were too immersed in cheering for their teachers that they didn’t hear the task so now its their fault? Can’t you just send more reminders?!

The system calmly said: “I announced it three times. I won’t do it more than three times.”

Jiang Yang & Qin Xu: “…………..*%#@”

After unsuccessfully quarrelling with the system for a long time, they two also no longer cared about what the original task was. Suddenly getting punished like this, they just felt very wronged. Compared to the other students who were happy and excited, the two felt extremely complicated. This was particularly the case for Qin Xu. Hidden under the helpless expression on his face was a slight guilty conscience. Earlier he had pushed the blame over to the system for the running companion incident and this time it had actually spoken out.

Qin Xu secretly asked inside with a hint of nervousness, “Did you tell him?”

The system was somewhat puzzled: “No. But….why did you do that? Although it had a positive effect for your friendship, why are you afraid of him finding out?”

Qin Xu frowned as he scratched his head. Even he himself didn’t know. He had only done it on a whim and yet after realising what he had just done, he didn’t seem to feel any regret?

Qin Xu seemed to vaguely understand the reason for it, but he couldn’t seem to completely grasp onto the reason. With some irritation he retorted, “What are you asking so much. Be careful or I’ll…..” since he wouldn’t be able to hit it, he unhappily changed his words, “Be careful or I’ll annoy you to death!”

He didn’t expect the system to really fall silent. It probably recalled its experience with Qin Xu in the past.

At this moment, the class leader who had been looking for him ran over with his eyes bright and pulled him over: “It’s time for us to receive the reward for the relay race. Everyone wants you to be the representative.”

Qin Xu was out of his senses and, unprepared, he was dragged on for a few steps increasing the distance between him and Jiang Yang. Qin Xu immediately felt a strong pull. The force got stronger and stronger and he found it difficult to move even more further ahead. Very suddenly, he felt an invisible force pushing him back to Jiang Yang’s position and, like this, he flew straight back to Jiang Yang.

Jiang Yang saw a dark figure fly towards him and subconsciously reached out to catch him. Grabbing onto Qin Xu’s arm, he managed to stop and help support him.

Xiao Yuxin, who had ran over to get Qin Xu, suddenly found his hands empty quickly turned around and saw the two standing side by side. With the blue sky as the background and the gorgeous sun illuminating their faces, they looked unexpectedly well matched.

Based on what he saw, he assumed that Qin Xu was pulled back by Jiang Yang.

Xiao Yuxin couldn’t help but think: Such strong possessiveness? I don’t have any intention to be the third wheel!

He thought he had only silently complained about this internally, but he didn’t realise that his expression had exposed his thoughts and the other two could easily tell what he was thinking.

Jiang Yang had long wanted to ask, what kind of misunderstanding did Xiao Yuxin have about them?

And so, the next second, Xiao Yuxin watched them lean their heads close and whisper to each other. Suddenly, he was forcefully fed dog food.

Jiang Yang leaned in and whispered in Qin Xu’s ear: “Do you think Xiao Yuxin has a strange misunderstanding about us?”

Qin Xu felt the warm breath on his ears and unconsciously moved his ears. His lips curled up and he laughed: “He thinks that you like and that we’re a pair.”

Jiang Yang: “………!!!”
