Chapter 238: Leaving Everyone in the Dust

The first poster is for Jiang Liangjin, it reads——Brother Jin sweeps ahead, Sister Yu's heart is for you！

The second poster is for Gu Xingnan——Brother Nan runs like the wind, completes the whole field, handsome to the point of madness！

The third poster is for Yu Ci——Brother Ci, charging duck, don't fall！

The last poster clearly targets the three of them—Class A's Three Young Masters, who sweep the track; anyone who isn't convinced, come over and get beaten!

The red-background gold-letter banner was held high by several people, swaying in the wind, causing the crowd on the stands to see it, first falling silent for a few seconds, then bursting into laughter。

Jiang Liangjin caught sight of the words on the first banner, instinctively raised his hand to block his face, fingertips just touching his cheek, his gaze swept to the latter half, and his motion abruptly stopped。

His eyebrows slightly raised, the corner of his mouth pressed with an irrepressible smile, he looked very satisfied。

The Sports Committee guessed he would have this reaction, and gave him a meaningful look。

Yu Ci came over to glance at the banner and wailed: "What the heck, not at all domineering。"

He actually wanted Gu Xingnan's poster, it would be more imposing。

Seeing the Referee still arranging the athletes' positions, he immediately grabbed Gu Xingnan's shoulder beside him, shaking his arm in a coquettish manner, muttering: "You say right, Ah Nan, this line really isn't domineering at all, we just need to swap！"

Gu Xingnan was shaken by him and staggered a step, raising his hand to block his face, afraid of being photographed by classmates holding phones around, "Don't shake, it's too embarrassing。"

What a weird banner。

The more he dodged, the more enthusiastically the surrounding classmates clicked, the shutter sounds clattering together。

"Brother Nan, don't hide, show your face！"

"Or Brother Ci, get on camera, cooperate a bit！"

"Brother Jin, look at the camera, smile! Sister Yu is watching you！"

Jiang Liangjin had no intention to cooperate at all, only slightly turning his head, his gaze falling on the track ahead, long lashes drooping, looking as if he'd finish early and be free。

But only Gu Xingnan, who was closest to him, saw the fleeting smile at the corner of his mouth。

Not far away, Mu Youyu at the finish line stand looked at the boy's pretended calm demeanor and couldn't help but curve her brows and eyes。

Bai Yun was about to laugh herself into flight, "Good thing I finished my event, didn't go up for public execution。"

Mu Youyu laughed while standing at the finish line and waved toward the starting point。

Qing An also found the banner hilarious, he pinched a chip and shoved it into his mouth, crunching, just about to speak teasingly, when he heard Mu Xin beside him whisper: "Someone's probably going to enjoy this secretly。"

Qing An raised his eyebrows and slowly said the title he hadn't used in a while: "Young Master, is this something you can say？"

Mu Xin pressed his lips and said nothing。

Qing An then slowly added: "Young Master, quite cultured, you even know the term 'secret enjoyment'。"

Mu Xin remained silent for a few seconds, then puffed his cheeks and retorted: "I'm not an idiot。"

Mu Youyu immediately defended her brother: "My brother is very smart, okay？"

Qing An casually rubbed her hair, "Got it, got it。"

"Take your marks—set—"

The Referee's voice sounded, the entire field instantly fell silent。

Mu Youyu stared unblinkingly at the figure on the track。

Mu Xin also sat up slightly, his gaze falling on Jiang Liangjin。

Qing An also stopped laughing, stretched his neck to wait for the match。

"Bang！"

The starting gun fired, three figures shot out almost simultaneously。

Jiang Liangjin indeed swept ahead。

He long legs strode, his step frequency astonishingly fast, his wine-red disheveled hair lifted by the wind, the lines of his profile cold yet flamboyant, in no time he flung those behind him half a lap away。

Yu Ci rushed quickly, wanting to overtake him。

Gu Xingnan remained in that calm demeanor, his pace control excellent, neither hurried nor slow, following behind Yu Ci, yet faintly showing a trend to catch up。

Mu Youyu shouted "Come on!" at a moderate volume。

Jiang Liangjin seemed to hear her voice, his steps suddenly quickened, the distance to those behind him growing ever larger。

By the final lap, he had already led by nearly half a lap, from afar it looked like he was running a race alone with no one chasing。

In the last fifty meters, he still had energy to turn his head, hooking the corner of his mouth toward Mu Youyu's direction。

He turned his head to glance at the pink-gold tiny figure on the stands, the corner of his mouth curved, and his speed increased a bit more。

Mu Youyu looked at his profile, saw the smile in his eyes, and laughed along, making a cheering gesture。

The cheers of the entire field reached their peak。

Jiang Liangjin didn't stop immediately, relying on inertia he ran a few more steps, then slowly turned, his gaze precisely landing on Mu Youyu。

Sunlight fell on him, outlining the youth's slender silhouette, sweat sliding down his jawline, yet not damaging his spirited vigor。

He slowly raised the corner of his mouth toward her direction。

Jiang Liangjin took first place without doubt, Gu Xingnan unexpectedly followed closely, and as he crossed the finish line he even steadied Yu Ci, who was about to fall out。

Although Yu Ci came in third, he was only a meter behind Gu Xingnan and still the most handsome guy on the field。

After crossing the line he directly opened his arms and did a stylish slide kneel, drawing screams that nearly lifted the playground roof。

Yu Ci walked over limping, dramatically wailing: "I'm exhausted to death, Ah Jin, are you even human? Running that fast！"

Gu Xingnan's breathing rose and fall, he supported him to stand steady, "Catch your breath before speaking。"

Yu Ci was dissatisfied, "And you, why did you overtake me？"

Gu Xingnan hooked the corner of his mouth, "Didn't do anything。"

The Sports Committee had already brought several classmates with bottled water and towels running over, fumblingly handing water to the three, also thinking to help them。

Unexpectedly, the three all broke free of their hands, their gazes unanimously looking toward the finish line。

Mu Xin and Qing An also came over, the former handing Jiang Liangjin a bottle of water as his sister requested。

Jiang Liangjin took the water, his fingertip inadvertently touching Mu Xin's hand; he curled his lip and lifted his chin toward Mu Youyu, saying, "Thank you, Xin Xin gege."

The latter then moved to Yu Ci's side, curiously asking, "Were you just deliberately slowing down?"

Yu Ci was drinking water; hearing that, he almost choked, rolled his eyes, and said, "Am I that kind of person?"

Qing An blinked, wearing a sincere expression, "Like."

Yu Ci: "……"

"A Jin!"

Mu Youyu lifted her skirt, trotting over; her pink-gold hair ends swayed in the wind, like a happy little butterfly.

Jiang Liangjin watched the girl running toward him, his Adam's apple bobbed slightly; he casually wiped sweat from his forehead with a towel, tossed it to the sports commissioner, and said softly, "I'm here."

He took two steps forward, went to meet her, lightened his steps, his eyes holding only the figure rushing toward him.

Mu Xin watched his sister's smiling eyes, didn't step forward to interrupt, merely said softly to Qing An who had come over to watch the fun, "Don't cause a scene."

Qing An pursed his lips, yet couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth; the chip in his hand cracked, the crisp sound scattering amid the crowd.

Bai Yun, meanwhile, crossed his arms, took out a camera, aimed at the pair standing side by side, and quietly recorded them.

The boy and girl stood on the track, behind them a noisy crowd, before them light spreading over mountains and fields.
