Chapter Ten Blind Spot Two Carefree

  Two

  I saw Su Chen again at the school sports meeting. The annual school sports meeting was a big event for Xi Gao, and the school attached great importance to it, requiring each class and every student to sign up for at least one competition. Girls like Lan C with well-developed limbs had no choice but to grit their teeth and sign up for the 800-meter race. After all, they had persisted in the 3000-meter test in junior high school, let alone the 800-meter race.

  Seeing Lan Ru reported 800 meters long run, Xie Zhangyi looked at her with a weird expression and said: "Your arm is so thick that you should go throw shot put."

  Lan Qian unhappily hummed a tune, lowering her head to sit in her seat and tie her shoelaces. The sports shoes she wore in junior high school now seemed a bit tight when worn. Lan Qian pulled hard on the laces and tied a neat bow.

  The girl's silence made him uncomfortable. He glanced at her old sneakers with flower patterns on them and the words slipped out of his mouth: "What era is this? You're still wearing these kinds of shoes, aren't you rustic?"

  He regretted it as soon as he said it, because he saw Lan's face twist in disgust after she looked up. She stood up angrily and shouted, "Mind your own business!"

  Xie Zhangyi was stunned by her suddenly icy tone and watched as she stormed out the door, feeling a twinge of regret in his heart. He hadn't meant to think that way at all, but somehow the words had slipped out and become daggers. He irritably slapped his own forehead, Sorry, Lan?

  The depressed Lan C walked along the campus road outside the stadium, the sports meeting had officially begun. The cheerleaders outside the field were shouting hoarsely, and the athletes on the field were not to be outdone, especially when there was a girl he liked outside the field, they were literally fighting with their lives in the competition.

  A familiar figure flashed before my eyes, the boy who was running in the front of the 100-meter hurdles was Su Chen. He easily cleared the obstacles at his feet and reached the finish line first. The cheerleading squad standing at the finish line rushed over to surround him, handing him water and wiping away his sweat. His face was radiant with a bright smile as he casually put his arm around the girl next to him and made a victory pose for photos.

  "You're laughing so happily, it's really enviable."

  Su Chen was taken aback and turned around to see that it was Lan. He smiled awkwardly and said, "What's there to be jealous of? A smile is something everyone has, it just depends on whether you want to smile or not."

  Lan Yu nodded awkwardly, the dark cloud on his face had yet to disperse.

  "What's wrong, unhappy?" Su Chen bent down to her height and gently looked at her.

  Lan shook her head, just about to say something when Xie Zhang came walking over, "Nothing, just a bit nervous about running 800 meters later."

  Su Cheng suddenly laughed with a hint of enlightenment, and couldn't help but reach out to gently stroke her hair, "I understand, the school's system is really not considerate of girls. But, it's all about participating, right?"

  "Hey Lan, come over, the 800-meter dash is about to start and the teacher asked me to find you to change into your sports uniform." Lan looked at Xie Zhangyi standing beside him, still with an air of not knowing his mistake and a proud expression. The anger in his heart flared up again, but since Su Chen was present, he didn't want to make a scene, so he turned around and said to Su Chen: "I'll go first then, talk to you later."

  "Alright, take care." Su Chen said as he waved goodbye and jogged away.

  Xie Zhangyu looked in the direction Su Chen had left and said, "Who is he? He's quite handsome."

  "It's definite that he is more handsome than you."

  "Worse than me."

  Blue ignored him and walked straight to the playground.

  Although I ran 3000 meters in junior high school, most of the girls in my class were physically weak at that time. Now looking at the opponents standing on the same starting line, it is said that they are still sports students, and they are calmly doing pre-run warm-ups, as if what they are about to face is not a competition but an ordinary training session.

  She swallowed hard, her oversized sports suit looking a bit cumbersome on her, her shoulder-length hair tied back in a ponytail, with fine strands framing her ears. In fact, she had long shed the self-consciousness of being an overweight and chubby girl, only she hadn't realized it yet. At this moment, she was not much different from those ordinary yet lovely girls.

  She raised her eyes and saw Xie Zhangyi standing beside the track with his hands clasped behind him against a eucalyptus tree. His expression was still cold and detached, but at this moment his eyes were on her, and a faint smile played around the corners of his mouth.

  Just as expected, Lan C had no tricks up her sleeve and used her fastest speed from the start, leaving everyone else far behind. She was secretly rejoicing in her heart when she felt that her physical strength couldn't keep up, her footsteps became heavy, and the girl behind quickly caught up with her.

  As soon as I get nervous, I start to have trouble breathing. The weather in Xicheng in November has already started to get a bit cold, and the cold wind entering my lungs makes me feel suffocated. Throughout the whole course, she was the only one running, and as expected, she was the last one to reach the finish line.

  Struggling to run to the finish line, I saw Xie Zhangyi standing there. He handed me a bottle of water and said, "Aren't you embarrassed? You ran so badly and still dared to sign up for the 800 meters."

  Blue? C ignored him, took over the water and drank a big mouthful, his face was flushed with exercise.

  "I think you'd better not go to the shot put competition, with your physical strength I'm already quite impressed."

  "What's with the lead ball?" Blue? The hand gripping the bottle tightened suddenly.

  "It's just that no girls in the class signed up for shot put, so I helped you sign up." Xie Zhangyi still hadn't realized what he had done and calmly described it.

  "Xie Zhangyi!!" Lan was furious and threw the water bottle at him. The uncovered bottle splashed water all over him. Xie Zhangyi frowned, using his fingers to pick up his soaked school uniform and shake it off. His mood was terrible. "Are you sick or something?!"

  "You're the one who's sick! Did you get my consent? Did you ask me? You're just an arrogant and self-important person who looks down on others!"

  "What's wrong with you, no one forced you to come, what are you yelling about in public? Aren't you ashamed?" Xie Zhang kicked the bottle at his feet a few meters away, and the remaining water drew a beautiful arc in mid-air before falling into the grass, leaving Lan C stunned on the spot.

  Lan Caihe's mood was terrible. She had just run 800 meters and her legs were a bit sore. Before she could even sit down to massage her muscles, she heard the broadcast calling out her name, telling her to hurry up to the shot put competition area for the match. Lan Caihe cursed Xie Changying thousands of times in her heart, but still dragged her heavy body towards the competition area.

  Shot put is actually a good sport, but girls generally don't participate in it because it requires good arm strength. Lan doesn't even know how to throw shot put, she just saw athletes throwing it on TV a few times before.

  Blue? C forcefully picked up the lead ball, lifted her face and was about to throw it high when the dazzling sunlight shone directly at her, making her eyes black out. Her hand slipped and the lead ball fell heavily onto her foot.

  Blue? C cried out in pain and squatted down carefully to take off his shoes. The lead ball had smashed onto his big toe, with signs of nail detachment and bright red blood oozing out from the gap between the nails. The pain was so intense that tears welled up in his eyes.

  A kind-hearted classmate helped her to the infirmary, her toes couldn't exert force, and it hurt badly when she did. Lan Yu put all her weight on one leg and hopped along.

  There were also several injured classmates in the infirmary having their wounds bandaged. Fortunately, the smell of disinfectant wasn't too strong here. Lan found a chair to sit down on and quietly waited for the school doctor to finish treating the other students' injuries before coming over.

  "Blue? What's wrong with your foot?" Blue turned his head back to see Su Chen sitting on the hospital bed, rolling up his school uniform sleeves, and the school doctor was giving him an IV.

  Blue stretched out that injured foot and pulled up his pant leg, saying: "I just accidentally hurt myself, what's wrong with you?"

  "I might have just exercised too strenuously earlier, my joints are aching a bit, so I came over for an IV drip."

  "Oh," Lan said, glancing at Su Chen's face which was still sweating, "You look like you're in good spirits, you should recover soon."

  Su Chen lowered his head and smiled, holding the IV bottle high with one hand, just about to come over. Lan Cai hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop him: "You're already like that, don't come over, I'll go." After speaking, she hopped on one foot and sat down beside Su Chen on the edge of the bed.

  The girl who suddenly approached had a faint fragrance on her body, and as she sat down, a small piece of her fell into the pit, her short stature only reaching his chest.

  A pang of tenderness suddenly arose in his heart, and Su Chen couldn't help but reach out to brush the loose strands of hair behind her ears. This intimate gesture caused the girl's body to stiffen, and she quickly retreated a few steps back. This violent reaction inadvertently hurt her own foot, and Lan Yu's face contorted as she looked at her toe, which was oozing blood.

  Su Chen patted the position beside her and saw that she didn't react, instead stretching out her hand to pull her down, lightly laughing: "Your performance is so exciting."

  Blue... He stuttered and couldn't say a word, then looked at the boy standing outside the door as if he had seen a lifesaver. "How did you get here?"

  Zhang Chongyu swept a glance over the room, putting the newly bought drinks on the table. "I heard that your foot was injured, so I came to take a look. How is it? Not seriously hurt, right?"

  "It's okay, it just hurts a lot."

  "Looks like it really hurts, who told you to go report that shot put for nothing? Can you do it?"

  Hearing this, Lan Jue's face turned red with rage, "Isn't it that white-eyed wolf Xie Changxuan who secretly reported me!"

  "You're really something."

  Zhang Chongyu opened the bottle of drink and handed it to her, then handed another one to Su Chen. Su Chen waved his hand: "Thank you, I don't drink cola."

  Su Chen looked at Lan and asked, "Is it Xie Zhangyu, the boy who came looking for you today?"

  "Right, just him." Lan Yu took a sip of his drink, "What's up?"

  "It's nothing, just asking."
