Chapter 79: Chapter 79 Double Champions, What’s Wrong with the Leg?

"What’s going on! Who told him to run like that?"

"Which class is this guy from? Who let him lead the race, how can someone be so dirty-minded?"

"Our class is puking because of him! Sprinting right from the start, is this intentional sabotage?"

"Who is this, do they even know how to run?"

"From Bi Yang’s class, what do you mean by saying that?" Liu Yang retorted loudly, unconvinced. "It’s our class three, so what? Are our running steps in your way?"

"Have some common sense, your class clearly broke the rules! Referee, we want to appeal!"

"Three athletes can’t outrun one Olympic contestant, do they even know how to run?" Liu Yang mocked loudly, "Stop running, go home, and drink milk in your mom’s arms!"

Li Hua pulled Liu Yang back, looking embarrassed.

"Brother, calm down, our class might get a yellow card warning soon."

Sports committee! Do you want to force the school to install soundproof cabins on the track?

Li Qingrong was stunned; she returned to the spectators’ stand. Standing at a slightly higher ground, she gazed over the 400-meter red track, squinting her eyes.

Jiang Nian was still leading; he had already run three laps. Continuously accelerating, he had made several contestants puke, forcing them to stop right on the track.

It’s rare for anyone to lead from start to finish in a long run; usually, runners follow others and gradually overtake them in the middle of the race, completing a sprint in the last lap.

But facing Jiang Nian’s almost inhuman endurance, always pulling ahead against the wind, made it hard for the second place. If you don’t follow, you might gradually fall behind due to wind resistance.

If you follow, the guy runs too fast, making it very uncomfortable to keep up.

The second-place runner was reluctant to face the wind and gritted his teeth to keep up. The third place thought the same; who in their right mind would face the wind? Follow! You must follow him!

And so on, the whole long run team’s rhythm was disrupted by Jiang Nian.

Halfway through the race, many people were puking or cramping. Some simply gave up, running at their own pace.

Only a few athletes kept a tight grip, rotating between three of them to chase Jiang Nian. However, they had exhausted so much energy in the early stage that they couldn’t wear Jiang Nian down at all.

Seeing them catching up again while leading by a small half lap, Jiang Nian chose to speed up once more.

In the temporary team formed by the three athletes, the one leading and facing the wind was charging forward with his head down. When he looked up and saw Jiang Nian sprinting ahead, he was immediately frustrated.

Damn it! Playing Yasuo, huh! Such a dirty tactic!

What’s the choice but to follow?

If you don’t follow, you lose with three laps to go. As the gap gradually widens, overtaking might become impossible. When you speed up, others also speed up, and then you lose after a stalemate.

"Whoa, Brother Nian is almost half a lap ahead, right?" Li Hua was shocked, turning to Ma Guojun. "If he can lead by one lap, he’s sure to win."

"Of course, look at his guilty face last time; the thing at number two school didn’t seem fake to me." Ma Guojun adjusted his glasses, looking very certain.

Zhang Ningzhi watched nervously and asked.

"Beibei, how many laps left?"

"Jiang Nian should have two laps left; he’s currently running with Yu Tongjie." Yao Beibei found it outrageous too; Jiang Nian is not only sneaky but also incredibly strong.

On the track, Yu Tongjie felt like he was on the verge of death.

His chest felt like it was on fire, constantly sending painful signals to his brain. Every two steps reminded him, "better stop now."

It was like a devil, continuously tempting him.

But he also understood that giving up would make all his efforts go to waste. Everyone in the class would remember Jiang Nian, and also remember the one who quit.

In a blink of an eye, he suddenly found Jiang Nian in front of him.

Huh? He’s falling behind!

At this moment, his mind was in chaos, totally unable to figure things out. The only thought was, at least keep up with Jiang Nian; if we lose, we lose together.

Keep close! Never fall behind!

High up in the spectator stand.

From Li Qingrong’s perspective, Jiang Nian had lapped everyone one and a half times, catching up with the last-place Yu Tongjie.

Faced with a classmate he once had conflicts with, Jiang Nian chose to slow down. Giving up on breaking the record, he helped him break the wind, letting bygones be bygones.

He really...

On the track, Jiang Nian was frustrated; why was Yu Tongjie sticking so close?

Wanted to pull away, but this guy was too close.

There are limits to human endurance; Jiang Nian wasn’t some super-strongman. He considered preserving some strength, waiting until the last lap to exert power.

When Jiang Nian finally started his explosive sprint, the crowd in the bleachers erupted into cheers once again!

He won!!

Zhang Ningzhi was so excited, she tightly grabbed Yao Beibei’s hand. The arm noticeably dropped a few inches, even Yao Beibei was firmly controlled.

Oh my, baby, are you hiding deep feelings?

No wonder Jiang Nian wanted to drink imported mineral water; well damn. Had I known how significant this was, who wouldn’t want a sip!

At the finish line, Yu Tongjie was stunned. How did he finish already?

Sports committee member Liu Yang was still paying attention to him, loudly reminding.

"Yu Tongjie, you have one more lap, don’t stop!"

At that moment, Yu Tongjie, who was idly jogging, felt as if the sky had gone dark. Jiang Nian hadn’t fallen behind but had lapped him, and he was on the brink of collapse yet had to run another lap!

Jiang Nian stopped and received the mineral water bottle from Zhang Ningzhi.

Still catching his breath, with a slightly flushed face, he looked down to find it unopened.

He felt regretful at once. Damn! Even the champion can’t drink imported mineral water?

Zhang Ningzhi also noticed Jiang Nian’s gesture of looking at the water bottle and blushed instantly. This was a secret known only to the three of them, though she didn’t do it.

Imported mineral water, it’s just too ridiculous.

Planning to play dead.

Jiang Nian unscrewed the bottle cap to rinse his mouth, when Qianbao came over, full of energy, showing Jiang Nian the photos she had taken. Zhang Ningzhi stood aside, suddenly feeling a bit depressed.

Li Qingrong came over at the end, taking his race number. She was aware of Jiang Nian’s leave of absence, being the class president.

"Are you leaving shortly?"

"Yeah, already got a leave." Jiang Nian wiped his sweat.

Hearing this, Li Qingrong paused, not knowing what to say. After a few seconds of silence as if her reasoning had stalled, she just stared at Jiang Nian, making him uneasy.

What, still holding a grudge?

Li Qingrong slightly parted her pink lips and said the most straightforward thing.

"Stay safe."

Jiang Nian: "????? Class president, how did you know I was going fishing at the reservoir?"

He was joking casually, but saw Li Qingrong’s pupils slightly dilate. Her gaze became more focused, slowly frowning, seemingly thinking about what to say.

"I was joking." Jiang Nian felt a bit awkward.

Li Qingrong nodded, seemingly sensing his embarrassment. She pondered for a second, the corners of her mouth curled up, revealing a very subtle smile.

The bustling sports field suddenly froze at the sound of starting gunshots.

Fervent as an oil painting.

.....

Jiang Nian went home to take a shower, heading directly to the county bus station.

The sky gradually darkened as he walked through the streets with a backpack. Arriving at the dimly lit, small and shabby bus station, buying tickets wasn’t necessary for short trips to the countryside.

Just sit in the red and blue plastic chairs in the waiting hall, waiting for the sales clerk to shout for the bus.

The usual format was, "Going to xxx, have any?"

xxx being the terminal stop.

He and Xu Qianqian shared their hometown, located at the terminal, Xiao Longtan Village. A village that was neither poor nor very developed.

Above it was Dragon Head Village, and below were the Dragon Tail and Longdong Villages.

Don’t ask what Longdong is?

Beats me.

After waiting about half an hour, the last old-style bus to Xiao Longtan Village finally arrived. By then, the sky was getting quite dark, and he glanced at his phone.

Zhang Ningzhi texted him, asking why he wasn’t attending evening self-study.

"Went home, got some business to attend to."

"Oh, okay, they’re watching a movie in class again." Zhang Ningzhi’s reply came almost instantly, along with a picture, "[Movie screen]."

"What movie?" He asked as he got up to catch the bus, sending the message casually.

"The Chorus."

Jiang Nian put on his mask before approaching the dirt-covered bus. His body reacted a step faster than his mind; it must be said, the nostalgia of home is quite strong!

Ugh!

Onboard, he found a seat and settled down, putting on his newly purchased Bluetooth earphones.

After connecting successfully, he replied to Zhang Ningzhi’s message.

"You go ahead and watch, you won’t drop any little pearls, right?"

"Of course not!"

Jiang Nian glanced at it and couldn’t help but smile, then put his phone away.

The conversation stopped there tacitly.

Outside the window was the night scene of the county town, and in his earphones were random songs from NetEase Cloud Music. Vinyl records could be unlocked for just a penny, though he never had.

An unknown singer’s cover of "Rewind" flowed slowly, [Should be in a happy place, but you gave me emptiness, spending holidays alone, can’t find anyone to watch the sea with me...]

Jiang Nian watched the lights flash by outside the window as the bus headed away from the county into desolate areas. Driving through the mountains, the night cloaked the quiet road.

Unexpectedly, he thought of Li Qingrong from the afternoon.

It was quite odd.

But her legs were really white, so pristine.

Arriving at Xiao Longtan Village at 7:40 PM, he reassured his parents of his safe arrival. His cousin, from the same clan, had been waiting to take him home on a motorcycle.

"Brother, can you ride a bit slower?" Jiang Nian couldn’t hold it in, as the night wind blew, "Did our great-grandmother give you a message in a dream, that you must take someone down today?"

"Don’t take me! I haven’t even achieved great success yet!"

His cousin, tall and average-looking, was only six years older than Jiang Nian. Already having a family for five or six years, his child was born right at the edge of legality, a common situation in rural areas.

Having kids young and more, with parents helping take care of them, while the couple works hard in southern areas.

Work tirelessly, return home safe and sound, and help grandkids during old age. If sickness strikes, rely on medical coverage, and when they pass, depend on social services, all well arranged.

Not only teachers, but rural life as well seems predictable as far as the eye can see.

"Jiang, you’ve studied for so many years, why do you still speak so roughly?" Cousin Jiang Shuisheng slowed down, feeling a bit helpless with his young cousin.

"Wow, you’re complaining about my rough language?" Jiang Nian gave in, "I’m trying to adapt to the local customs, loosen a bit, what’s wrong with speaking a bit rough?"

"Neither I nor your sister-in-law talk this crudely, your words are as rough as streaking..." Jiang Shuisheng chuckled.

Before long, he dropped Jiang Nian off in front of an old house. After some back-and-forth about whether to stay at his place, Jiang Nian’s insistence won in the end.

Vroom vroom! The motorcycle revved up.

His cousin made a "call me" gesture, "Let me know if you need anything."

"Okay!"

Cousin: "..."

Once the motorcycle left, darkness and tranquility returned.

Jiang Nian switched on his phone’s flashlight to open the gate with a key. Water and electricity issues couldn’t be solved by his cousin; he wasn’t concerned about family politics.

After checking, everything was normal.

Soon, the three-story building’s first and second floors lit up.
