Chapter 107: The Sports Meet Begins

Suddenly, the mobile phone on the desk rang. After Shen Yan saw the caller ID, he made a shushing gesture: "Hush, it's my girlfriend calling. Don't make a sound."

Fang Xiang nodded obediently.

"Hello! Qiqi." Shen Yan tried his best to keep his breathing steady.

Hao Anqi had just finished class and was walking out of the teaching building. Remembering Shen Yan, she made a call and asked: "Shuai Yan, are you busy tonight? Do you want to grab a meal together?"

Who would have thought that at this moment, Fang Xiang moved unconsciously. Shen Yan couldn't help but gasp, and Fang Xiang's pretty face turned even redder. This feeling was too strange; the boss was on the phone with his girlfriend, and the two of them were in this state.

It was simply outrageous!

Shen Yan coughed lightly twice and said: "I'm over at the factory in Yuhang District right now. There's a lot of stock in the warehouse that needs to be sorted. Let's make it tomorrow. The school is holding a sports meet tomorrow; I'll come find you when it's over."

"Alright then. You sound like you're panting quite heavily; be careful not to overwork yourself." Although Hao Anqi was a little disappointed, she still agreed understandingly.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yan felt a bit conflicted, but he quickly cast it to the back of his mind. Fang Xiang said breathlessly: "Bo... Boss, you and your girlfriend must be very close."

Shen Yan sighed, "Actually, I feel quite sorry for her. If I had been more rational that day..."

Although the rest of the sentence was left unsaid, Fang Xiang understood perfectly. While feeling ashamed, she was also afraid that Shen Yan would abandon her, so she said weakly: "Boss, I won't disturb you two. I just hope that the boss will think of me occasionally, and I will be satisfied."

For such an obedient and well-behaved woman, there wouldn't be many men who wouldn't like her. Shen Yan leaned in and kissed her delicate red lips, saying: "Don't worry, I will shield you from the wind and rain."

"Mm!"

An hour later, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped.

The office returned to calm. Fang Xiang lay limp in Shen Yan's arms and said worriedly: "Boss, I've heard that doing this all the time is bad for your health."

Shen Yan's large hand continued to knead the soft flesh on her peach-like buttocks, a wicked smile appearing on the corner of his mouth as he asked, "Is my body not strong enough?" Fang Xiang instantly shut her mouth. She had always heard that there are only tired oxen, never plowed-out fields.

Whoever believes that is a fool.

After tidying up the scene, Shen Yan gave Fang Xiang some instructions regarding the management of the online store and the situations they might encounter over the next two days, then went to inspect the workshop.

The workers were all busy in an orderly fashion, and the production progress was quite gratifying. The clothing craftsmanship and quality were both above standard, and the finished garments in the warehouse were increasing day by day, so there was nothing to worry about.

On October 22nd, the Hangzhou University autumn sports meet arrived as scheduled.

The sports meet was planned to last for three days, during which no teaching tasks would be carried out. Because the student base at Hangzhou University was too massive, it was impossible for everyone to go to the scene to watch the competitions at the same time. Each college made arrangements: every class would go to the scene to cheer at fixed times, and the rest of the time could be managed by themselves, which was equivalent to having three extra days of vacation out of thin air.

All the students were cheering with joy.

Early in the morning, the sun gradually crossed the horizon, and the morning glow was like fire, dyeing half the sky red. The light shone through the windows and spilled into every corner of the room, signaling that a new day had officially begun.

Reluctantly leaving the bed, Shen Yan looked down at the earth from the balcony and did some stretching exercises, causing his bones to make cracking sounds.

After washing up, just as Shen Yan opened the door, a jade-like hand suddenly struck toward his face, landing straight on his forehead.

"Giggle!"

Uh... Looking at the giggling Wu Yue'er, Shen Yan had black lines all over his forehead and said: "If you want to knock on the door, just knock. What's the meaning of smashing it into someone's forehead?"

Wu Yue'er smiled sweetly, "How was I supposed to know the door would open suddenly? I couldn't stop myself."

This "cloying" voice was truly taken to the extreme by Wu Yue'er. Shen Yan couldn't be bothered to argue with her, closed the door properly, and walked straight toward the elevator, with Wu Yue'er following behind with a smile.

Both of them were athletes who had passed the selection and officially entered the sports meet roster, so they needed to arrive at the playground early to participate in the opening ceremony.

Today, Wu Yue'er was wearing a small white camisole with a green cardigan draped over it, paired with black casual pants, making her look fashionable and dainty, with a bit of a romantic, girlish vibe.

Shen Yan's outfit was exactly the same as hers: a white tank top as a base, with a green shirt worn over it, and black straight-leg pants. Seeing this, Wu Yue'er smiled and said: "Hey! Look at us, don't we look like we're wearing a couple's outfit?"

Shen Yan took a look; it really was, but he didn't take it too seriously. Arriving at the bike shed, Wu Yue'er found riding a bike too much trouble and directly hitched a ride on Shen Yan's e-scooter.

She wasn't sitting still on the back seat, kneading and pinching Shen Yan's abdominal muscles. Shen Yan slapped the back of her hand and scolded with a laugh: "If you're feeling frisky, hurry up and find a boyfriend; don't take advantage of me all day long."

"What's the point of a boyfriend? What if he gets hot-headed and 'brings me to justice' right on the spot?"

"A buddy is different; you can't possibly make a move on me," Wu Yue'er said with a giggle.

Shen Yan was speechless. So she just wanted to take advantage without giving anything in return? Whoever ended up with such a girlfriend would be unlucky.

At eight o'clock, the sports meet opening ceremony officially began.

The school leaders took the stage one by one to speak: "Upholding the tenet of 'friendship first, competition second,' promoting national fitness, enhancing physical fitness, carrying forward the spirit of unity and hard work, and marching toward the goals of faster, higher, and stronger..."

Finally, the principal coughed lightly, "I declare this sports meet officially begun."

A burst of cheers and shouts erupted from below, and the atmosphere was fully charged.

The first day was almost entirely qualifying rounds, nothing much to say. In the men's 100-meter track event, Shen Yan broke through the encirclement without any surprise.

As for the team events, Shen Yan had originally signed up for the men's 4x100-meter relay, but the Law School was short on talent and truly unable to compete for the championship.

Considering that they had a seed athlete like Shen Yan who refused to participate in multiple events, the coaching staff decided to gather the best strength from both male and female students to form a mixed-gender relay team. The female members included the 1.8-meter-tall Wu Yue'er, whose long legs were like the wind when she ran, giving them an absolute advantage, and she was placed in the third leg.

At three in the afternoon, the relay qualifying round began. With a "Bang!" of the starting gun, amidst the mountain-shaking cheers from the audience and the track, Shen Yan took the baton from Wu Yue'er and crossed the finish line first without any pressure.

"Shen Yan, you're the coolest!"

"Brother Rice Noodle, I love you!"

"Law School is awesome!"

Shen Yan and the other three team members high-fived to celebrate.

Wu Yue'er, wearing her small white camisole, punched Shen Yan in the chest and said with a smile: "Well done! Thanks for carrying me to victory!"

"No problem!"

Shen Yan laughed and made an OK gesture.
