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

Su Qing arrived at the finish line of the three-legged race ahead of time.

A little boy wearing a baseball cap stepped forward tauntingly, "Hmph, first place will definitely go to my parents, Su Qing, you're doomed to lose!"

Not wanting to stoop to his level, Su Qing, with her camera hanging around her neck, said calmly, "That's not necessarily true."

"Just wait and see, you're definitely going to lose your candy to me."

"Naive. I don't want candy. I want the most expensive luxury picnic set."

"Stop bragging, the picnic set costs 100 points."

"So what? My parents will take care of it."

The little boy retorted, "You win this round first."

The two were not only classmates but also rivals, and they often compared themselves to each other, from grades to height, there was nothing they couldn't compare.

Ignoring the guy, Su Qing puffed out her cheeks and prayed in her heart that Qi Nan and Xia Ningqi could win the game and get off to a good start.

-

The first two groups started first.

Every pair encountered numerous problems, and those who could avoid falling were already among the best.

Qi Nan was initially unsure of himself, but after seeing the performances of the previous teams, he immediately felt less pressured.

Soon it was time for the third group.

Finally, a team emerged that could barely be called a "formidable opponent," completing the entire course in thirty seconds, making them the fastest and least error-prone team so far.

"Yay! My parents got first place!"

Looking at the guy smugly in front of her, Su Qing said unconvinced, "You're only in first place temporarily, you're getting too excited too soon."

"Little Su Qing, you don't actually think you can win, do you? My parents pulled ahead of second place by a full five seconds."

I'm too lazy to talk to him.

That stupid Ming, all he does is gloat in front of me, he's such an annoying guy.

"It's the fourth group's turn."

Su Qing saw Qi Nan and Xia Ningqi walk onto the plastic track.

Fed up with Sha Ming constantly hovering around her, she cupped her hands into a megaphone and shouted, "Go, Mom and Dad! You have to get first place!"

The girl's voice reached Xia Ningqi's ears.

This was the first time she had been called "Mom" in public, and a feeling she couldn't quite describe welled up inside her.

I can't help but wonder what it will be like if I have children in the future.

"Don't just stand there, it's about to start."

Qi Nan tightened his grip on Xia Ningqi's arm, his expression unusually serious.

Seeing this, Xia Ningqi didn't say anything and kept her heart to herself.

"If we keep up the pace we just practiced, we have a chance to win."

"good..."

Warm sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled patterns on the ground.

Qi Nan and the other man focused their attention.

I heard the starting gun fire with a "bang" in my ear.

"One, two, one, two..."

Following the rhythm they had practiced beforehand, the two moved forward steadily and at a constant speed, quickly putting distance between themselves and the others.

"Look, that team is so fast! I feel like they have a chance to surpass the results of the previous three teams."

"It's great to be young. If I could go back to those days, I would definitely be faster than them."

"Come on, you were as fat as a pig back then. If you hadn't met me, you probably wouldn't have bothered to lose weight."

The finish line.

The little boy, nicknamed "Silly Ming," stared intently at Qi Nan and his companion on the track, his expression shifting from relaxed to serious.

On the other side, Su Qing was looking at the time on her watch.

He silently counted in his mind, "Twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven..."

As time ticked by, Su Qing's heart pounded, until Qi Nan and Xia Ningqi crossed the red line, and the timer stopped exactly at twenty-eight seconds.

"Yay! We won!!" Su Qing jumped up and down happily.

In contrast, the idiot Ming next to him had a livid face, and his arrogance from before had completely vanished.

Su Qing simply put her hands behind her back, feigning confusion, and asked, "Where's the puppy? Why isn't it barking anymore? That's strange. Does it not like to bark?"

The boy knew perfectly well that she was implying something about him, but at that moment he could only obediently accept it.

"It's just five candies, I'll give them to you next week."

"Hehe, so some people shouldn't be too happy too soon, otherwise they wouldn't be getting slapped in the face now."

Sha Ming gritted his teeth.

"Su Qing, you wait! This is only the first project, don't think you've already won! If you're so capable, let's bet again!"

Su Qing made a face, "Hehe, I'm not betting, anyway, I won today."

"You...you coward!"

"So what? I call knowing when to quit while I'm ahead. Trying to provoke me won't work on me."

Although Sha Ming really wanted to regain his pride, Su Qing was like a cotton ball, soft and yielding, giving him no chance at all.

There was no more rambling.

Su Qing was very happy. She skipped and hopped over to Qi Nan and the other man, and hugged their legs with one arm each.

"Xiao Qing knew that Brother Nan and Sister Xia wouldn't let me down."

"Absolutely, don't you know who I am?"

Anyone would find it hard to resist being praised by such an adorable creature as Su Qing, and Qi Nan was no exception; his tail immediately wagged high.

"Luckily I practiced a few times just now, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have been able to get this score."

Xia Ningqi breathed a sigh of relief. They were only two seconds apart from the second place team. Even the slightest mistake could have caused them to drop to second place.

"OK, time to sign up for the next project. I have to bring the deluxe picnic kit home today."

Qi Nan was full of energy and swung his arm toward the registration area, forgetting that his feet were still tied to Xia Ningqi's.

Before anyone could react.

Xia Ningqi's calf was suddenly pulled, causing her body to tilt towards Qi Nan. As a result, the two of them fell to the ground in a very awkward position, with Xia Ningqi lying on top of Qi Nan and burying her face in his chest.

Fortunately, it's a plastic track, so even if you fall, it won't hurt as much as if you were on a concrete floor.

Qi Nan instinctively hugged Xia Ningqi's waist. "Are you alright?"

Xia Ningqi raised her head slightly, her hands supporting her on the track, her gaze meeting Qinan's. They were less than half a foot apart, and she could even feel that Qinan's heart was resonating with hers.

"fine.."

"Can you get up? I'm suffocating from being crushed by you..."

Qi Nan averted his gaze because he could clearly feel something soft and bouncy against his chest, and he knew without a doubt that it was Xia Ningqi's bunny.

Xia Ningqi bit her lip. "Am I that heavy?"

The temperature is still rising.

An embarrassed look appeared on Qi Nan's face. "The parts that should be heavy are indeed quite heavy..."
