If you're not going to marry me, why are you flirting? If you dare run away, I'll sever yo

Now that he's already made that boast, he's determined to get those 100 points no matter what.

"Which program starts first? We'll sign up directly."

"The first game to start was the three-legged race."

"Okay, let's sign up for this one first. The first place winner gets a full ten points."

After the staff members register.

Xia Ningqi was a little uncertain, "It seems this project can only be participated in by two people, so who should we choose to participate?"

"Of course it's you and me. Xiao Qing's legs are so short, she definitely can't run fast."

Su Qing pouted, "Brother Qi Nan, even though what you said is true, could you at least say it to my face? It will hurt me too."

Xia Ningqi gently comforted her.

"Don't listen to Qi Nan's nonsense. You're just young now. When you grow up, you'll definitely be a tall and beautiful woman."

"Sister Xia is the best. Brother Qi Nan has no emotional intelligence at all. It's obvious he's never pursued a girl before."

Qi Nan felt somewhat helpless.

The two women, by singing in unison, actually portrayed themselves as the bad guys.

"Alright, alright, let's discuss our strategy for later. Otherwise, with just the way you and I work, we might not even be able to reach the finish line safely."

Qi Nan thought Xia Ningqi made sense. After all, the two of them were destined to clash, and they might end up making a fool of themselves in public.

"How about this?"

Qi Nan thought for a moment and suggested, "When the time comes, I'll count to one, and we'll both step on the foot that's tied in the middle. When I count to two, we'll step on the foot that's not tied."

Xia Ningqi nodded, since there was no better way.

While the two were still discussing, Su Qing appeared out of nowhere with a bandage. "There are still more than ten minutes before the competition starts. Why don't you two practice first, brother and sister?"

"I can do it, I'm just killing time anyway."

Seeing that Xia Ningqi agreed, Qi Nan naturally had no reason to refuse. After all, theory is always just theory, and nothing beats the peace of mind of putting it into practice.

Take the bandage.

Qi Nan squatted down. "Could you move your legs closer? Otherwise, I can't tie them up when they're so far apart."

"oh.."

Xia Ningqi responded and then moved closer to Qi Nan's position.

"It's so cold today, aren't you cold wearing a skirt?"

"Are you blind? It's not like I wasn't wearing thermal stockings."

"That's true."

Xia Ningqi was wearing a dress, and if he hadn't squatted down to tie the drawstring, he wouldn't have noticed.

"But are stockings really warm?"

"If you're so eager to know, why don't you just buy one and wear it yourself?"

"Please provide the link."

"Get lost."

Qi Nan stopped joking and tied her legs tightly together before standing up straight.

"That should work."

"Snap—!"

The sudden sound of a camera shutter drew their attention to Su Qing, who was holding a camera and fiddling with it intently, seemingly quite pleased with the photos she had just taken.

"Is this your camera, Xiao Qing?"

"Yes, my mom bought this camera for my birthday last time, so I can take it out and take pictures today."

As she spoke, she walked up to the two of them and showed them the photos she had just taken.

I must say, the lighting was great today, and the photos I took had a really great atmosphere.

"But doesn't my squatting posture look a little strange?"

Qi Nan felt like he looked like a pervert peeping under Xia Ningqi's skirt in the photo.

Su Qing retorted, "No, I think this action is great. From this angle, it looks like you're tying Xia-jie's shoelaces. You could be on the cover of Yilin magazine without any retouching."

is that so...

Qi Nan looked at Xia Ningqi, "What do you think?"

"I feel like you're polishing my shoes."

The air was somewhat quiet.

Qi Nan sighed. Sure enough, everyone has their own interpretation of Hamlet. Even a single photograph can generate such a huge difference in opinion. But the most outrageous one is Xia Ningqi. He would never wipe her shoes.

"Alright, let's get down to business, or we won't have time to practice."

Let's steer the conversation back on track.

Xia Ningqi had one arm pressed tightly against Qi Nan, and she had been somewhat absent-minded since earlier.

"Let's try taking a couple of steps first."

"Wait a moment."

Qi Nan asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Should we link arms? Otherwise, we might trip and fall."

"If you don't mind, I can."

Xia Ningqi was silent for a moment, then said with her ears turning red, "Why are you being so hesitant, you boy? When you're flirting with other girls outside, you've probably already started touching them already."

Qi Nan weakly protested, "I didn't... You think too badly of me..."

Keep pretending. The best perfume I smelled that day was from a dog.

That's what I thought in my heart.

But Xia Ningqi didn't say it out loud. She just grabbed Qi Nan's arm in annoyance and said, "You shout the slogan."

"Yes, sir."

The two adjusted their positions and began to move only after Qi Nan shouted "One".

At first, things were relatively stable, but as Qi Nan increased the speed of his commands, their pace inevitably became disordered.

Halfway there, Xia Ningqi tripped and lost her balance, almost falling. Fortunately, Qi Nan reacted quickly and caught her, forcing the two of them to stop.

"It seems that taking these three people and two legs isn't as easy as I thought."

Xia Ningqi snorted lightly, "The faster you chant your slogans, the more your steps will mess up."

After hearing what she said, Qi Nan felt that there was some truth to it.

"Then I'll maintain a consistent rhythm throughout the chanting, that way I can at least avoid making mistakes."

Xia Ningqi nodded upon hearing this, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Afterward, the two practiced several more times. Once they achieved a stable speed, their mistakes decreased significantly with each repetition, and their teamwork also improved considerably.

After the final practice session, a clear loudspeaker announcement came from the playground.

"The three-legged race is about to begin. All registered parents and students, please assemble on the right side of the track."

Untie the straps.

Qi Nan stretched his body a little, and then, led by Su Qing, arrived at the venue prepared for the competition.

After receiving the number plate.

A group can have five teams playing at the same time, and they are the third group to play.

"Brothers and sisters, you can definitely do it! Xiao Qing will cheer you on at the finish line later."

Xia Ningqi asked sweetly, "Do you think we can get first place?"

"Of course! I even made a bet with my classmate, betting five candies!"
