She is in the fog

The sports meet has reached its third day, which is also the last day. The school plans to hold the closing ceremony and award ceremony of the sports meet at 4:30 pm.

After lunch, Lin Ruxue and Shen Qingsong went out for something.

Mingmei, who was alone at home, sat in the study and read a book, but she couldn't read a single word. Her mood was complicated, and her appetite also became worse. She couldn't eat lunch after two bites.

She recalled what she saw at the sports field yesterday. All the classmates were fighting hard on the field. Wen Wan accidentally fell, but she got up quickly and continued running despite the pain. She eventually narrowed the gap and won the third place. When checking her injury, she found that the back of her hand was scratched, which was shocking.

Qin Yiran's words echoed in my mind again: "It is said that the class with the highest total score in this sports meet can get a bonus. Isn't the class fee here? The boys all want to have a basketball of their own class, and the girls also want to buy a few badminton rackets."

Mingmei couldn't sit still. She had a match in the afternoon. How could she stay at home quietly? Although she knew her own strength, she didn't want to sit and wait for death.

"Let's give it a try, maybe a miracle will happen."

Although Lin Ruxue asked her to have a good rest at home, she still decided to rush out, put on her sportswear and sneakers as quickly as possible, and then rush to school.

In the men's 3000m race that just ended, Qian Ziyue and Wang Wei took second and third place respectively, earning 3 points, but unfortunately, the first place went to a student from Class 7.

虽然目前总分榜5班比7班高出了2分, 且只剩下一个女子1500米的项目。但是, 7班参加女子1500米的选手名叫叶露, 是秦依然的初中校友，是个长跑高手，连续三年蝉联学校运动会女子1500米冠军，还打破了全校十年未破的纪录。

Qin Yiran felt a headache and silently analyzed the situation: If nothing unexpected happens, Ye Lu should be the champion. This way, Class 7 will have one more point than us. Needless to say, He Jiahe is not good at long-distance running. I persuaded him to sign up, and he was just making up the numbers. Wen Wan is a natural long-distance runner and was sure to win the championship, but I registered Ming Mei instead, and Ming Mei even asked for leave, so there is no hope at all... If we are only one point behind, I will be very unwilling...

Just as I was thinking about it, a voice came from the radio: "The women's 1500-meter long-distance race is about to begin. Athletes, please sign in at the rostrum and receive your number plates."

Qin Yiran sighed and slowly hurried to the podium. She squeezed into the crowd and said to the person in charge, "Mingmei from Class 5 of Senior has withdrawn from the competition. Please make a note of this."

The person in charge frowned, picked up the sign-in sheet in his hand, and said doubtfully: "Mingmei has already signed in and taken the number plate."

Qin Yiran was surprised, his eyes lit up, and he hurried to his class's base.

Sure enough! Mingmei came to school!

Many classmates gathered around her and asked about her condition. Qin Yiran also took the opportunity to squeeze into the crowd and said excitedly: "Mingmei, how are you? Can you participate in the competition?"

Mingmei nodded: "Much better, I should be able to join."

Qian Ziyue clapped his hands and said with a smile: "That's great! You and He Jiahe should work hard! It would be great if you can get a place."

He Xi was worried. She looked at Mingmei and found that her complexion was much better than the day before, but after all, she had just returned from the hospital after receiving an IV drip. Could she run a long distance?
Wen Wan and He Xi had the same idea. She smoothed her bright hair and tucked it behind her ears. She asked with concern, "You have just recovered from your illness. Can your body handle long-distance running? How about not running anymore?"

Lian Zhongnuo came over and reminded, "Mingmei, if you are not feeling well, don't force yourself."

Mingmei thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Let's give it a try. I feel much better now. Don't worry, if I feel unwell, I won't run away. Just don't laugh at me then."

"Okay then. If you feel unwell, you must not force yourself to stay awake." Zhong Nuo couldn't persuade her and finally agreed.

After pinning her number plate on her chest, Mingmei headed for the start of the runway. He Xi looked at Mingmei, who was warming up on the second runway, with worry in his eyes.

"boom--"

After the gun went off, the contestants on the track started moving one after another.

He Xi's eyes were always fixed on the red figure. He watched her running at a constant speed, watched her turn to the inner circle, watched her slow down or speed up, and his heart almost rose to his throat.

The first lap was completed smoothly.
The second lap was also completed smoothly.

By the third lap, Mingmei was clearly feeling overwhelmed. Her legs felt so heavy as if she had done 200 squats, and each lift was extremely strenuous.
Dizziness, palpitations, and cold sweats.
She looked down at her feet and found that an illusion appeared in front of her eyes, and her two feet turned into four.

She felt weak all over and seemed unable to hold on any longer. Just in case, she stopped where she was and sat down on the ground as her legs went limp.

He Xi witnessed this scene from the stands, and simply jumped over the railing and jumped off the two-meter-high stand. She rushed towards Mingmei regardless of anything, and the cordon and volunteers were unable to stop her.

People's subconscious reactions are often the echo of their deepest hearts. At the moment Mingmei squatted down on the track, He Xi climbed over the railing and jumped off the stands almost at the same time.

Wen Wan didn't react until He Xi ran onto the track.

Seeing this, Wen Wan was unwilling to be left behind. She looked at the stairs not far away and decided to jump off the stands. After all, it was much faster to jump off the stands directly than to walk up the stairs. However, the stands were higher than she had imagined, and she accidentally twisted her foot, but she didn't care. She gritted her teeth and continued to follow He Xi's footsteps.

When the two rushed to Mingmei, a nearby volunteer had already run to her side, but Mingmei was not in good condition, so the volunteer did not dare to help her up rashly.

"Amei, how are you? Are you okay?" Wenwan's voice was filled with tears.
He Xi also squatted down and asked, "How do you feel?"

"I feel a little dizzy, nauseous, and have cold sweats."

The volunteer then suggested: "Don't run away, go to the infirmary."

Mingmei nodded and struggled to stand up, but her legs were so weak that she couldn't stand up.

Seeing this, He Xi squatted even lower, turned his back to Ming Mei, and said to Wen Wan beside him, "Help her get on my back. I'll carry her to the infirmary."

The volunteers and Wen Wan worked together to help Mingmei onto He Xi's back, so He Xi carried her in the front and Wen Wan supported her from the back, as if they were protecting a treasure, afraid that she would fall.

The two of them crossed most of the lawn and when they were about to cross the track, they looked left and right and saw no runners passing by, so they ran over quickly.

Zhong Nuo hurried over to check the situation, and He Xi quickly said, "Teacher, let's go to the infirmary!"
