Chapter 210 - It’s In The Bag (1/2)
If these were unowned objects, it would be considered lucky to be hit by them no matter how much they cost. But they all had owners.
He had just picked up the diamond ring when the owner came downstairs.
The wallet had an ID in it too…
Of course, even if nobody came down to retrieve it, Meng Fan still had to hand the wallet over to the police, ID or no ID.
He would really be lucky if he could trigger a task that wasn’t ambiguous.
But that didn’t exist!
Returning the diamond ring didn’t trigger any tasks, and when he handed the wallet to the police officer, nothing happened either.
Meng Fan gave up on the idea. Based on the System’s values, it was difficult to trigger such a positive task. He was uncertain what other tasks his actions would trigger instead.
Thinking of this, Meng Fan sighed again. He wasn’t going to venture on the edge of danger just to test the System.
Obediently, he began to jog again.
Not long after arriving on the track, Wu Tong arrived as well.
“I thought you weren’t running today.” Wu Tong warmed up with Meng Fan as she asked,
“Are you nervous?”
She was obviously asking about the CGL provincial finals.
Meng Fan smiled confidently. “Nope. It’s in the bag; I’m 9/10 sure.”
Wu Tong looked at him seriously. “Don’t be overconfident and underestimate your opponents. Even if you are 9/10th sure, you might not be steady. So you have to try your best!”
Meng Fan had no competitive experience, but he knew the story of the lion wasting its strength chasing the rabbit. He couldn’t afford to lose the +1 championship honor point, and winning the provincials would get him into the national finals, which would provide +2 championship honor points.
He nodded. With a righteous look, he said, “I really am missing just a kiss.” *
*Wu Tong said steady (wen), which in Chinese sounds like the word kiss.
Wu Tong knew this was coming after saying the sentence, so she was more than clear as to what Meng Fan was saying. She rolled her eyes at him and began to run.
Meng Fan was numb all over from her glance. Stupidly, he smirked as he followed her onto the track.
This was venturing on the edge of danger!
How exhilarating!
Sigh. If Wu Tong followed up with a smile and an “if you catch me you can have the kiss”, how good would that be…
Unfortunately for him, Wu Tong didn’t utter these words their entire run.
Even if she had said so, Meng Fan couldn’t catch up to her anyway.
Unless she went easy on him!
After running, the two stretched and chatted as usual. They not only discussed his provincial competition but Su Qing Cen’s concert tonight too. Wu Tong was busy in the evening, as she had to fly to Beijing after watching Meng Fan compete to enter a Chinese painting exchange event. Wu Tong ended up giving away her ticket to Qu Jing Jing, so she could go with Wei Zhi Xue and the others.
Aside from these events, the two would occasionally joke and even fight and bicker, Meng Fan being the one who bickered the most. Wu Tong, of course, was responsible for the fight.
It seemed like she made a habit out of shoving Meng Fan to the ground. Later, she took several chances while they were stretching to push him while he was unbalanced.
Today was no different.
Only the result was a bit different from the other days.
Wu Tong’s sudden push didn’t push Meng Fan to the ground. Instead, she herself became unstable due to the excitement of her sneak attack and began to fall over.
She didn’t land on the ground but on Meng Fan.
Meng Fan’s entire body was stiff!
Luck +1!
This was the kind of luck Meng Fan was dreaming about!
Was it just luck? No, it was happiness!
Although Wu Tong stood up very fast and they were only in contact for a short while and although there was no substantial physical contact… Meng Fan was overjoyed!
It was slightly past 9 When Meng Fan and his group entered the venue for the provincial finals.
