Oh my goodness!
Her deskmate's eyes widened in disbelief, realizing she had uncovered a shocking secret about Meng.
Meng, the academic prodigy, was enamored with their class president, the goddess!
Oh no, this revelation is bound to break many hearts, both boys and girls alike.
Nonetheless, the childhood friends turned lovers' romance of a talented young man and a beautiful woman is truly captivating.
"Bang!"
The referee fired the starting gun.
Everyone erupted in excitement, shouting the names of their classmates.
Only her deskmate noticed that along the outer edge of the track, Meng ran beside Zhan Yuxi, keeping pace with her every step of the way.
This was a moment too meaningful to let slip by. She quickly took out her phone, snapped a picture, and posted it on the school's forum, though it was soon buried by other posts.
As they dashed towards the finish line, everyone stood waiting on the other side. Zhan Yuxi glanced to her side, but Meng was no longer there; instead, he was at the finish line.
He stood there, apart from everyone, and at that moment, Zhan felt as if her entire world had narrowed down to just him.
She summoned all her strength, opened her arms, and sprinted into Meng's embrace, crossing the red ribbon.
"Congratulations to the first place, Class 1, Zhan Yuxi!"
After the race, Zhan and Meng walked slowly around the track, catching their breath.
"Congratulations, Sweetie, you did great."
Meng gently tucked a stray lock of Zhan's hair behind her ear.
Zhan couldn't quite describe her feelings at that moment, only that it was a very happy memory that she could cherish for a long, long time.
“Brother Chen, do your best tomorrow, too!"
"I'll be at the finish line waiting for you."
"Okay."
However, the next day, before Meng's race, a classmate was injured during an event. Zhan and the teacher took her to the school medical room.
By the time the nurse treated the classmate's injury, eleven minutes had already passed since Meng's race began.
"Yuxi, there's nothing more to do here. You should head back."
