Chapter 547 She Said
Lu Yuanqiu's eyes widened in surprise: "Is she out of her mind?"

What kind of body of steel can sprint 15 times in a 100-meter race? Lu Yuanqiu looked at the playground and saw Bai Qingxia running very fast... but she wasn't sprinting. Even if she wasn't sprinting, her current speed wasn't the speed that should be used in the early stages of a 1500-meter race.

It was more like the state of a 400-meter race; Lu Yuanqiu dared to say that he could only maintain this state for one lap at most.

However, if Bai Qingxia originally planned to run the entire 1500 meters at a speed of 400 meters, her method of breaking it down into smaller goals would indeed make her feel a little more relaxed mentally. But Bai Qingxia's problem has never been mental; it's that she simply doesn't have that kind of physical strength.

Chi Caocao: "She said she absolutely had to win today."

"Where did she come up with this idea?" Lu Yuanqiu turned his head and asked.

Chi Caocao repeated like a megaphone: "She said that's how she memorized her lessons."

"..." Lu Yuanqiu was speechless for a moment. How could memorizing be compared to running? Silly girl, memorizing requires memory, not muscle.

Lu Yuanqiu: "Even if she runs the whole course at her own pace, she still can't beat Long Liandong. She'll probably be very, very tired by the second lap."

Chi Caocao: "She said that the one she wanted to win against was not Long Liandong."

Lu Yuanqiu turned his head.

Chi Caocao: "She said she wanted to beat the version of herself that always felt she couldn't compare to Long Liandong."

Lu Yuanqiu looked at Chi Caocao, and Chi Caocao looked up at Lu Yuanqiu from the side. Bai Qingxia's serious eyes seemed to shift to the face of the little girl with pigtails in front of her at this moment.

Lu Yuanqiu subconsciously felt that Bai Qingxia's expression when she said those words must have been even more serious than Chi Caocao's at that moment.

"She said so much."

"Yes, she talked to me for a long time on the track last night."

"What else did she say? You little messenger." Lu Yuanqiu crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow as he glanced at Chi Caocao.

Chi Caocao: "She said she likes you."

Lu Yuanqiu's expression froze.

Space seemed to freeze at this moment, and the flow of time became slow and viscous. Even though it was an answer that we already knew, hearing it from Chi Caocao's mouth at this moment still felt deafening.

He stared blankly at Chi Caocao when suddenly a gust of wind swept past him, accompanied by a girl's heavy breathing, and Lu Yuanqiu's bangs fluttered.

Bai Qingxia, who was running at full speed on the track, flashed past him, leaving only a blurry shadow. Along with the shadow came many images frozen in Lu Yuanqiu's mind.

The ballot with his name on it, the back of someone secretly taking over his duty in the evening, the tears shed on his 17th birthday, the girl crying with her broken hair clip, the maple tree on a stool in the hospital room, the topics discussed on the phone, the duet outside the shop window on the street, the hand-knitted scarf under the Christmas tree, the class notes copied by hand...

Chi Caocao tugged at Lu Yuanqiu's arm, and Lu Yuanqiu snapped out of his reverie, lowered his head to look at her, raised his hand and smiled as he ruffled her hair. Chi Caocao, however, pointed in the direction of the track, gesturing for Lu Yuanqiu to look.

Lu Yuanqiu looked up.

It turns out this is the last lap.

Bai Qingxia remains in first place.

Liu Wangchun followed closely behind Bai Qingxia, but failed to overtake her despite having the chance. The girl in first place was running like crazy. Lu Yuanqiu stared at Bai Qingxia as she sprinted the last hundred meters, wondering how she still had the strength.

Long Liandong stared blankly at Bai Qingxia, her cold expression softening.

“Sprint!”

“Sprint!”

"come on!"

“Sprint!”

The sound of someone, either Su Miaomiao or another student, could be heard from the edge of the track.

Lu Yuanqiu slowly walked over there. He watched Bai Qingxia's back as she sprinted the last hundred meters, and it seemed as if he saw a double image in her: a little girl with long, messy hair, wielding a broom and rushing forward. The little girl ran quickly on the red rubber track, growing taller and bigger with each step.

Finally, she threw away the broom in her hand and became 18-year-old Bai Qingxia.

"what!!"

Bai Qingxia crossed the finish line in first place.

She stopped outside the finish line, standing there listlessly. Despite being exhausted, she still looked up at the sky. In the azure sky, there was a cloud that looked like a flower, and a sun that she had chased at full speed for a full 1500 meters.

Liu Wangchun wiped away his tears and immediately hugged Bai Qingxia from behind as she was about to fall to the ground.

"Xiaxia...Xiaxia...Don't sit, don't sit, walk around." Liu Wangchun kept crying. Bai Qingxia's legs had no strength to support her, and she was just bent in mid-air. She could only barely keep upright on the ground by relying on Liu Wangchun's strength to hold her.

The surrounding students immediately rushed forward, but Su Miaomiao waved her hand to disperse the crowd, creating more space, and at the same time opened the glucose and poured it into Bai Qingxia's mouth.

Lu Yuanqiu and Long Liandong stood in front of the electronic timing screen.

Six minutes and fifty seconds.

Despite her best efforts, Bai Qingxia still couldn't surpass Long Liandong.

Just like no matter how hard she tried in one direction, she still couldn't bridge the mountain-like gap between her and Long Lian Dong.

But did she lose?
Long Liandong stared silently at the score, which was only two seconds behind hers, and remained speechless for a long time.

Lu Yuanqiu was about to run towards Bai Qingxia when a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Lu Yuanqiu".

Lu Yuanqiu turned to look at Long Liandong.

Long Liandong turned to look at him and said, "I have something to tell you at the entrance of our playground at seven o'clock tonight."

Lu Yuanqiu stared at her, nodded, and then immediately turned and ran towards Bai Qingxia.

Long Liandong sat cross-legged in front of the electronic timer screen. She took her phone out of her pocket, where there was a missed call. Just as Long Liandong was about to call back, the missed call came through.

The old man said, "Why didn't you answer Grandpa's call? Didn't you say the competition was almost over? Is it over?"

Long Liandong: "The competition is over."

Old man: "What was the result?"

Long Liandong: "I won everything."

elder:"……"

The old man said, "I knew it, sigh."

Long Liandong: "Grandpa, I'm going to confess my feelings to Lu Yuanqiu at 7 pm tonight."

Old man: "Huh? Huh? Didn't you say you'd only confess your feelings if you lost?"

Long Liandong turned her head and saw Bai Qingxia being supported by several people, looking completely exhausted. She then looked up at the screen and saw that Bai Qingxia was only two seconds behind her. Long Liandong finally took a deep breath and said to the person on the phone, "That's it, I'm hanging up."

Around noon, at the infirmary.

Lu Yuanqiu opened the door to the school clinic carrying a bowl of millet porridge. Bai Qingxia was sitting on the clean white sheets, lost in thought. When she saw Lu Yuanqiu come in, she turned her head to look at him.

"When did you wake up?" Lu Yuanqiu placed the millet porridge on the table next to the bed and sat down on the edge of the bed.
