A Young Woman's Heart

"Pfft—Xiaoxue, how come you're so heavy!"

"Haha."

"It must weigh more than 100 pounds, right?"

"One hundred and ten." Mr. Xue was very honest.

"So heavy—"

"Haha, then you should work on your muscles before you carry me!"

"Why can't it be you who loses weight?"

"Ha ha--"

……

(three)

While Mr. Xue and Cha Li were playing around without any psychological pressure, An Ruosu was already carrying Mo Xueyao on her back and walking briskly.

Of course, there's an even faster combination on the side.

That's right, it's still Class 7.

They actually picked the person up and ran away.

The boy being hugged laughed exaggeratedly.

I don't know if she was trying to hide her embarrassment or if she genuinely found it that funny.

Mo Xueyao didn't even have time to be dumbfounded, because she felt that An Ruosu, who was carrying her, was like a wild horse running rampant.

We were so close that I could even feel the rise and fall of the muscles in his back with each exertion.

It gives you the illusion of being carried on the back of a cheetah.

The surrounding scenery rushed past, and I felt as if I were about to take flight, taking two steps at a time.

Before running, Mo Xueyao had even prepared herself for An Ruosu to overthink things.

As a result, not only could this guy not have any random thoughts while running, but even when she was being carried, she was in no mood to think about anything else.

She just clung tightly to his shoulders to keep from being thrown off.

At a time like this, if you still harbor any ambiguous thoughts, you definitely won't be able to run fast.

When you're running fast, you simply can't think about so many things.

Even though Mo Xueyao had pressed her chest completely against An Ruosu, the latter still seemed completely unaware.

The kind of guy who, while carrying a girl on his back, is still thinking about other terrible things, probably only exists in weird, cheap novels.

Ambiguous feelings?

Absolutely not.

All they were thinking about was outrunning the people next to them.

That's how pure it is.

"Whoosh—!" An Ruosu stopped just in time, and Mo Xueyao quickly handed the baton to Huang Yuxi.

Li Hongran glanced back to make sure she had a firm grip, then suddenly exerted her strength and rushed out.

If I can overtake the two students from Class 7 ahead of me, I can cross the finish line in first place.

"Go for it!" Mo Xueyao waved vigorously.

At this moment, An Ruosu finally stopped her momentum and came to a complete stop.

……

(four)

If An Ruosu is a running cheetah, then Li Hongran is like a bear running wildly.

He even hoisted Huang Yuxi onto his shoulders as if she were just carrying a sack of rice, and his speed was no slower than when he usually ran.

Even two boys working together couldn't distance themselves from him.

"Li Hongran—keep going—you're almost there!!"

One hundred meters is very short.

At the same time, it happened very quickly.

Li Hongran used 50 meters to close the gap between the two, and then overtook her opponent in the last 30 meters.

Upon reaching the finish line, he ran another fifty meters as if to celebrate, before slowly stopping. He placed Huang Yuxi beside him, threw his head back, and laughed heartily, exhaling puffs of white steam: "Haha, it seems first place is ours!"

"Yes!" Huang Yuxi nodded vigorously. "We won!"

Standing not far away, Sanhua Tongjue smiled with satisfaction and shouted in somewhat rusty Chinese, "Xiao Xi~!"

Huang Yuxi's face turned bright red the moment she saw her, especially when she saw her mischievous gaze.

Back in Japan, whenever she made this face, it meant a big battle was about to begin that night…

……

(Fives)

This project can determine the first to third place classes in one go, so the results can be announced on the spot.

Shen Kelin, standing on the platform, shouted and announced: "In this mixed-gender relay race—first place goes to Class 2 of Senior Three! Second place—Class 7 of Senior Three! Third place…"

Although it looks like a farce.

But everyone seemed to be having a lot of fun.

Many boys became shy after the time was stopped.

Mo Xueyao even saw a boy chatting with the girl she had been carrying earlier as they walked into a corner.

Who knows, this match might even bring together an unforgettable romance from our youth!

The vice principal on the stage didn't look too good, but when he saw the foreign guests around him all smiling broadly, his old face immediately blossomed like a chrysanthemum.

Mo Kong seemed to have finally struck up a conversation with the education bureau leader beside him, and both of them showed a slight smile on their faces.

……

(six)

The relay race for the second-year high school students is about to begin.

Sanhua Tongjue unabashedly pulled Huang Yuxi to sit down in the seats for Class Two.

The pink hair was so eye-catching that many students were discussing whether it was dyed or real hair.

Huang Yuxi's hand was tightly held by Sanhua Tongjue and placed on her thigh.

The two were standing very close together, as if they were glued together with super glue.

"Tsk tsk." Mo Xueyao, sitting in the back, couldn't help but click her tongue.

"What's wrong?" Li Wanyan asked, as if she already knew the answer.

"Look, Xiaoxi and Tongjue, oh my—"

"They're a couple."

"I know, but it still feels... ugh, so cloying."

“That’s how couples are,” Li Wanyan said, gently patting Mo Xueyao’s head.

Just then, the three-flowered jade pendant in front of her placed its hand on Huang Yuxi's head and vigorously rubbed it.

"Hey, Xiaoxi!!"

"It's been so long, I haven't seen you..."

"My Chinese has gotten a bit worse! Cough, um, did you miss me?"

"Hmm..." Although a little shy, Huang Yuxi nodded honestly and looked at her face with some embarrassment.

"Does it look good?" She pointed to her eyes, which were wearing colored contact lenses.

"Beautiful...!" Huang Yuxi gave a thumbs up, but quickly put it back when she saw someone looking over.

"From now on, you'll be a permanent resident."

"Huh? What, what do you mean..."

"Graduated! Ahead of schedule!"

"Tsk...? The time... isn't right?"

"It's usually March or April, but I passed my exams! Plus, my dad helped me! So, I graduated!"

"Settle down...?"

"I haven't decided yet, but I'll stay with you for a while. How about you stay at my place?"

Huang Yuxi hurriedly shook her head: "No, that's not a good idea..."

"It's alright! My father agrees!"

Sanhua Tongjue's Chinese has indeed become much less fluent, and she often breaks sentences in strange places.

"Hmm..."

"Anyway, when you have time, come to my place! Let's have fun~!" Mika Hitomi said a few more words in Japanese. Huang Yuxi barely understood half of them, and they didn't mean anything special. They were just expressing her current mood.

For example, feeling 'very excited' or 'very happy' right now...

Chapter Fifty-Six Closing Ceremony

(One)

"In this sports meet, we have witnessed everyone's passion for sports..." The vice principal stood on the podium and delivered his final speech with great enthusiasm, giving off a feeling of returning to his days as the principal.
