The sunny boy from Cardcaptor Sakura

However, it seems that Tomoyo didn't just mention Sakura; did she also mention him?

Xia Yu snapped out of his daze, pondering Tomoyo's words. Just as he was about to ask her again, Tomoyo turned around.

Seeing this, Xia Yu clicked his tongue. He felt that Zhi Shi had changed a little since they first met.

But the change was not very obvious, and he didn't notice it yet.

Forget it, it doesn't really concern him anyway. He should think about how to make a splash at the marathon.

Why doesn't he just run backwards during the marathon? That kind of mockery... shouldn't cause public outrage, right?

In the afternoon, it was time for physical education class.

Because there's a marathon the day after tomorrow, today's PE class was nothing fancy, just simple running.

Terada Yoshiyuki held a stopwatch in his hand, recording the students' running speed.

Although Tomoyo sprained her ankle, she still changed into her sportswear and came to the playground with her classmates, her waist-length hair tied into two braids.

At this moment, she and Li Jia and a few others were squatting not far from the track, watching other students run.

Although today's PE class was about running, we didn't all run together at once. Instead, we practiced in batches, which made it easier for the teacher to record each student's running speed.

"Tomoyo, is your foot alright?"

Rika asked Tomoyo with concern. After learning that Tomoyo had sprained her ankle, they wanted to persuade her not to attend PE class, but Tomoyo insisted on changing into her sportswear and coming to the playground.

Tomoyo shook her head slightly, touched her ankle, and chuckled, "Don't worry, I just sprained it a little."

"Won't it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt yet, but the doctor said I can't participate in the marathon."

Hearing this, Chiharu said with some regret, "It's a pity that we can't participate in such a rare marathon competition."

"Ah."

But it's not a pity at all.

Tomoyo silently answered in her heart, then turned to look at the track.

On the track, Xia Yu was far ahead of everyone else, running at the very front of the track. Li Xiaolang and Xiao Ying were next, closely following behind Xia Yu. Behind them were the other students, about seven or eight meters behind.

They were running together, but it looked like two separate teams.

Xia Yu, Xiao Ying, and Xiao Lang formed one team, while the other students formed another team.

Looking at Xia Yu who was in the lead and Xiao Ying who was a step behind, Tomoyo was already imagining the filming scene.

Sure enough, the best angle for shooting is still the sky. I'll mention it to my mom again: maybe we should develop a photography drone.

As for now, we can only ask for help from Keroberos, who can fly and won't attract anyone else's attention.

Chapter 116 You're so unwilling to accept it that you're crying your eyes out, aren't you?

Physical education class, on the playground.

"One last lap."

Terada Yoshiyuki glanced at the stopwatch in his hand while keeping an eye on the students running past him.

"Alright! Watch me break the record!"

After Xia Yu ran past like the wind, he left these words and then subtly accelerated again, which surprised even the teacher.

"Xia is still running so fast!"

At the edge of the track, Li Jia looked at Xia Yu, who was far ahead of the other students, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Xia Yu might just win the marathon the day after tomorrow."

"Maybe."

Naoko, however, had a different opinion. She replied, "Perhaps this year will be like last year, with Sakura winning the championship again."

"But no matter who wins the championship, our class is the best. I just don't know which of the two of them will win."

"Hmph, neither of them is possible."

Suddenly, a voice of rebuttal came from behind. Several girls turned around curiously and saw Li Meiling walking over with her arms crossed.

She said confidently, "This year's marathon will only have Xiaolang and me as the champion and runner-up. Back in Hong Kong, Xiaolang and I were the fastest runners in school."

She wasn't lying; in the school's previous sprint competition, the champion and runner-up were Little Wolf and her.

Although she has never run a marathon, running is running, whether it's sprinting or long-distance running. As long as it's running, she is the second strongest!

Little Wolf is the strongest!

"But Xia is in first place right now."

Just as Li Meiling was feeling smug, Zhi Shi spoke up and revealed the cruel reality, instantly pulling Li Meiling back from her reverie.

Li Meiling: ()

Li Meiling glared at Xia Yu, who was running in the lead, and said unconvinced, "It's definitely because Little Wolf is hiding his strength. Anyway, Little Wolf won't lose!"

On the runway.

Xia Yu maintained steady breathing and a steady pace.

The biggest taboos in long-distance running are disordered breathing and lack of stamina. After all, long-distance running is a physically demanding activity, and stability is the key to victory.

Of course, stability requires leaving your opponents far behind. If you are too far behind, you might as well make a final push at the end and perhaps even overtake your opponents.

You might not feel too good afterwards; symptoms such as a pounding heart, blurred vision, and weakness in your limbs are all possible.

Xia Yu is very experienced with post-coital symptoms. He almost died on the track during a 3,000-meter physical test. If he had his current physical condition back then, he wouldn't have any trouble running.

With these thoughts in mind, Xia Yu mustered his strength and accelerated to cross the finish line.

Three or four seconds after he crossed the finish line, both Syaoran and Sakura crossed the finish line.

The teacher looked at the three who crossed the finish line with a gratified smile: "It seems our class is likely to secure first, second, and third place this time."

On the other side, after crossing the finish line, Sakura and Syaoran slowed down and were about to collapse on the ground to catch their breath when Xia Yu suddenly came over and pushed them forward with one hand each.

"You can't sit down. Walk around the track first. Don't ask any questions. The answer is that it's bad for your health if you squat down to rest immediately after strenuous exercise."

He had forgotten which PE teacher told him this, but he always remembered that after a long run, you shouldn't stop to rest immediately. It's best to walk around the track and wait until you're no longer out of breath before sitting down to rest.

"Okay, okay, I can walk by myself."

The little wolf, who was being pushed along, twisted its body, shook off Xia Yu's hand, and then started walking on its own. It always felt strange to be pushed along.

Seeing this, Xia Yu let go of their hands, allowing Xiaolang and Xiaoying to walk on their own.

They hadn't taken more than a few steps when a call came from afar, growing louder as it approached.

"Little Wolf!"

Then a large moth pounced, knocking Li Xiaolang to the ground.

"Pfft-!"

Li Xiaolang fell straight down. Before he could recover, the person who came up pulled him up forcefully. With this up and down movement, his vision went black for a while, and he seemed to see flashes of light.

"Strawberry Bell..."

A few seconds later, Li Xiaolang calmed down and looked helplessly at the newcomer. When would Meiling stop being so impatient?

However, Li Meiling ignored everything and looked directly at the little wolf excitedly, saying, "In this marathon, the champion and runner-up positions are definitely ours!"

"Forehead……"

Li Xiaolang scratched his head, unsure how to answer. With Xia Yu present, he didn't think the two of them could win the championship or runner-up. They might win the runner-up or third place, but that would still mean facing a strong opponent.

Li Xiaolang looked at Xiaoying, whose speed wasn't much slower than his.

Just then, Sakura also looked over, but she wasn't looking at him; she was looking at Meiling.

"Is Meiling also good at long-distance running?"

Upon hearing this, Li Meiling, who had been excited, instantly changed her expression, pouting as she looked at Xiaoying: "Are you asking me that?"

After saying that, Meiling's lips curled up and she let out a muffled "hmph hmph hmph" laugh. Suddenly, she pointed and said triumphantly, "Don't even think about it, you'll definitely be left far behind by me, and then you'll be running and crying!"

"Um...why should I cry?"

Sakura raised and lowered her eyebrows, puzzled. Did she look like a crybaby?

She's hardly ever cried growing up; she's very strong!

Seeing Sakura's seemingly genuine expression, Li Meiling snorted and explained, "Because you'll feel resentful, and then you won't be able to stop crying!"

"interesting……"

Sakura smiled awkwardly and didn't answer. She wasn't a strong-willed person, so why would she be so unwilling to accept it that she cried?

She really wanted to ask why Meiling knew so much about it. Had Meiling actually cried like that before?

Little Wolf, standing to the side, was quite puzzled. He asked, "But, Meiling, have you ever run a long distance? Sprinting is completely different from long-distance running, let alone a marathon."

A sprint is at least 50 meters and at most 400 meters, but long-distance running is different, especially a marathon. The standard length of a marathon is 42 kilometers, which is 42000 meters, a difference of a hundredfold.

Even if the marathon organized by the school doesn't strictly adhere to this distance, it certainly won't be short.

"Hmph, I'll never lose a race!"
