Chapter 117: What Had He Missed?

After the 100-an

Everyone in Jiao Yuan's class knew the person running the race was the bad kid who supposedly fought a lot and skipped class regularly They didn't quite want to cheer for hi The 100-meter race was in the afternoon

Most of their classroup surrounded Fu Lei Fu Lei did not care if the rest of his class cheered for him They were irrelevant in his eyes

Zheng Tan laid sideways on his wall The world was turned ninety degrees Sometimes the wind tickled his fur, so he twitched his ears

The race had just begun Fu Lei hadn't ed to put distance between himself and the rest of the contestants The runners ran in a line on the inner Tan could tell he wasn't nervous

No a lot of people cheered during the first lap Slowly, however, during the second and third lap, the athletes were not running so close to each other any to worry

By the third lap, so slowly in the back

Fu Lei was fifth in the group His classet four points

By the fourth lap, people were cheering likeThey needed to run four laps and a bit to complete the 1500the last lap First place and second place were starting their end spurt People behind hi up speed as well, except Fu Lei

When he was about to be surpassed, his classmates started to worry Most of them couldn't sit on the bleachers and watch anymore They allfor him

Zheng Tan looked towards Jiao Yuan His little group were growing red in the face but ed to stay quiet They waited until Fu Lei started to speed up to start yelling They were cheering with such ht that it looked like they wanted to run in his place

The finish line was being set up Fu Lei was running faster and faster Fourth place and third place were feeling the pressure They wanted to speed up more but just couldn't do it

Jiao Yuan started chanting Fu Lei's name, the rest of his classmates followed his move shi+ Rui ran onto the commander's post and took the announcer's lared at her, but she didn't care

Soraders cheered with them but had to ask who Fu Lei was

So by the cheers, he was either one of the top two or the guy running ahead from behind like his life depended on it

For the first time in his life, Fu Lei felt validated He listened to all those people cheering for him

It was the first time his name was yelled out by so many people without disdain or contempt; he was instead the hope of the class

He used to scoff at the concept of collective honor However, today he understood it It was real, and he felt it So, or express anything

He felt the passion for winning again It was like he was back in his village dojo and he was pinning for the wooden cup This tih

Zheng Tan watched Fu Lei pass the person in second place He was still going and closing in on the person running in first place

He really was soht to himself

Zheng Tan heard Jiao Yuanin the race were members of the school's sports club They were probably the two kids running in first and second place

Class one was cheering louder than ever They couldn't control their emotion

s Everyone was drawn to the race and was cheering

An announcer tried to take the ed to avoid the person's hand So that the school broadcasters were favoring class one They were the real victiain; shi+ Rui was clearly not letting go

Zheng Tan chuckled then looked back to the tracks It was the last fifty meters

The student wholike he hadn't already run 1450 meters No wonder he made varsity However, Fu Lei still ran past him and won by two steps

He didn'tfirst place was surprising enough to his classht they could even co

Zheng Tan watched as Fu Lei left the tracks surrounded by his classmates and shook his tail

This was a good start

The race was the first actual event of the day, and they had won Their classroo at Fu Lei with such a calm smile that he felt shi+vers He wasserious

The hundred an

Those that did well left like a hero surrounded by people Those that didn't ht were a different story

Zheng Tan went home at noon He needed to have lunch with Youzi He came back in the afternoon Fu Lei still had the 800-h day ahead

Besides Fu Lei, Xiong Xiong and Lan Tianzhu were co too There were lots of events in the afternoon, but Zheng Tan was only interested in the ones that involved people he knew
