Chapter 76 - Running To Shanghai (2/2)
A message followed: Be generous to girls, and even more generous to boys.
Meng Fan was befuddled. Did Qin Jiao not told her? Did mom really think he liked a boy?
Better keep running.
Turning right to the academy’s north street, then Zhu Si road, Zhi Jiang Road… it was already the holidays, so the streets were relatively crowded. It was impossible to run fast. It was already good to keep his speed at 7 minutes and 20-30 seconds. In about 22 minutes, he had completed three kilometers, arriving at Song Cheng.
Continuing along Zhi Jiang road, he passed ZheJiang University’s campus after running 3.5 more kilometers.
Continuing forward, he reached Fu Xing road.
“Beep! You can do it! You’ve ran 10 kilometers, elapsed time 1 hour, 14 minutes and 37 seconds.”
Forward!
There weren’t many people on the stream channel, as during the holidays nobody woke up this early. The ones who did were probably going out, and not on 8th Station to watch streams.
But not many did not mean there was no one.
When Meng Fan reached the ten kilometer mark, there were already two thousand or so viewers on his channel.
“Host, are you for real?”
“From the National Art Academy to Shanghai, are you joking?”
“You’re walking two hundred kilometers to get there, are you motherf*cking crazy?!”
“I’d at least believe it if you said you were biking there!”
“Waiting for the host to give up!”
“Waiting for the host to slap himself!”
“Two hundred kilometers would take you the whole holiday, wouldn’t it? You can’t possibly try to finish it in one go!”
“Even if he finished it in the duration of the entire holiday, that’s still pretty badass! You guys have no idea what the host’s capacity is like!”
“Meng boss, if you really run there, I’ll gift you one smoldering smoke, at least!”
“Don’t even mention finishing. If you run outside the Hangzhou borders, I’ll give you one too!”
“Based on the map, it would be the equivalent of a marathon to leave the city!”
“I’m betting he’ll reach Tong Village!”
“If he can reach Jia Xing I’ll give two smoldering smokes worth 1024!”
“Remembering the mini-marathon, I know people will lose their underwear over this again!”
“Look, there’s a traffic jam up ahead!”
“Hahaha, I love it!”
“Why go roam outside when you can scan at home and play video games during a break like this?!”
“I hope the host can run a long distance, then I can see all the miserable people stuck in traffic!”
“Motherf*cker, I’m stuck in this traffic okay? Speaking of which, Meng host is pretty close to where I am!”
Ahead of Meng Fan loomed a large-scale traffic jam. The live comments in the stream began to liven up.
One of the greatest pleasures of people who stay home during the holidays is undoubtedly seeing the variety of photos of people stuck in endless traffic. Now… Haha. They get to witness it on a live stream.
This kind of jam, is just way too strong!
Tell me, what’s the longest car in the world?
Traffic!
“Meng host, Meng host!”
As Meng Fan ran across the jammed vehicles with a smile on his face and did both thumbs up, someone emerged from a road nearby, scaring Meng Fan out of his skin.
“My god, it’s really you!”
The 23-year-old youth with acne scattered across his face stared at Meng Fan as he approached, then proceeded to grab an armful of spicy dough sticks, chips and other snacks from his car. Smiling, he asked, “Want some?” Feeling like something was off, he took out a pack of cigarettes, then put it back in his pocket and finally decided on handing over a bottle of water.
“You don’t want to be fed right?”
“Meng Fan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, then gave him a thumbs up. “I’m off. Add oil! Uhm. Traffic jams your car, not your heart… Hopefully.”
‘What the hell did he mean by add oil?!’
‘Traffic jams your car and not your heart, who are you trying to kid you old fart!’
The boy looked at Meng Fan’s disappearing figure and gave him a thumbs up. Running was indeed faster than driving!
“Hahaha, this kind of dumbass netizen must be overjoyed by today’s events!”
“You must run into it more! That’s your job this holiday season!”
“I’m gonna go traffic jam the host and become your sources of happiness!”
“Men, remember that the handsome beautiful man holding cup noodles waiting for Meng Fan? You will see that coming up, it is yours truly!”
