"Perhaps your relationship is still as close as it was before."

Just like her and her sister An Qianxi, she thought a lot of things in a self-righteous way, indulging in all sorts of wild and chaotic thoughts.

At its worst, he almost regarded An Qianxi as his imaginary enemy.

But when she reunited with An Qianxi, the girl's gentle embrace instantly broke down all the barriers and defenses she had built.

Only then did she realize that they had always been sisters.

After listening to An Hongdou's words, Jiang Tang remained silent for a while, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Just as An Hongdou finally came up with a reason and was about to speak,

The long-distance running event has officially begun.

Jiang Tang said, "I'm leaving now. Thank you for your guidance, senior," and headed towards the track and field where he was supposed to be.

An Hongdou's heart, which had been soaring, suddenly felt empty again.

Since it's a thank-you gift, why not offer something to make people look forward to?

An Hongdou muttered to herself, but her gaze remained fixed on Jiang Tang, hoping that he could perform well and achieve good results.

Suddenly, a feeling as if being stared at by a ferocious beast came from behind, sending a chill down one's spine.

An Hongdou wasn't easily intimidated and immediately turned around warily.

All she saw was a smile from Ms. Mu Qimei, the teacher, on the leadership platform at the sports meet.

Of course, that sense of danger didn't come from her.

Instead, it was undoubtedly the silver-haired girl beside her, whose mere presence seemed to illuminate the gloom of the entire sky.

Unfortunately, her radiance is too bright, so it's only natural that it might sting people.

She gazed at An Hongdou from afar, her expression neither sad nor happy, yet it inexplicably stirred a sense of unease within one.

On the high platform, Mu Qimei appeared relaxed on the surface, but cold sweat was seeping from her back.

“Young Miss, as you know, Jiang Tang exudes his charm at all times, and it has nothing to do with Hongdou…”

Despite being a young lady herself, Mu Qimei still had to be humble and submissive in front of Jiang Peining.

She was trying to exonerate An Hongdou. In any case, just the fact that someone like Jiang Peining remembered her was enough to make one restless and unable to eat or sleep.

"Did I say I had anything to do with her?"

Jiang Peining slowly withdrew her gaze, her expression remaining expressionless.

Mu Qimei finally breathed a sigh of relief, probably able to put her mind at ease for the time being.

After all, even Lilith and the others... Jiang Peining didn't go looking for trouble with them first.

An Hongdou only made a few words to Jiang Tang, and Jiang Peining is already taking it to heart. It doesn't seem right.

Jiang Peining didn't say anything more, but instead turned her gaze to the track, specifically to the boy she knew all too well who was in the center of the track.

Jiang Tang.

This time, her gaze seemed less intimidating.

It was just a calm, almost nostalgic gaze.

But he was utterly ruthless in his words.

“Standing there, like an insect.”

"...As his fiancée, is it really appropriate for you to say such things about him?" Mu Qimei couldn't help but ask.

If Jiang Peining gets angry about this, she will slide to her knees on the spot.

Mu Qimei has always been like a fox.

Foxes possess more than just allure; they also have cunning and vulnerability, and are capable of both yielding and standing firm.

"I am not his fiancée."

Unexpectedly, Mu Qimei gave a response that left even her speechless.

"But it's true that he's my fiancé."

Mu Qimei seemed to have heard some shocking gossip and asked in a low voice.

"A son-in-law?"

No wonder she always felt that, given the family backgrounds of these two, it was strange that Jiang Peining would be betrothed to Jiang Tang since childhood and become his fiancée... No matter how she thought about it, it just felt incongruous.

Now she understands.

The fingertip refers to the abdomen, but it actually refers to Jiang Tang's mother's abdomen!

If the child is male, he will have to "marry" to Jiang Peining as her son-in-law!

?307 Only Jiang Peining is left.

Once Jiang Tang stepped onto the track, he focused entirely on the track, leaving everything else behind.

Although long-distance running is not like sprinting, it requires a high degree of concentration and burst of energy in a short period of time.

But Jiang Tang was simply used to being serious and giving it his all.

Besides, he knew very well that he would be the focus of attention at the sports meet.

With so many eyes on him, if he were to pay attention to and respond to each one individually, aside from anything else, his mentality would definitely suffer to some extent.

Today he was wearing a long-sleeved tracksuit with a zipper and trousers.

Because it was cold, Shixue added an extra layer of autumn clothing for him underneath.

Compared to the long-distance runners selected from other colleges on the same track, they did appear somewhat too robust and unprofessional...

While everyone else is wearing short sleeves and shorts, showing off their defined thigh and calf muscles, that's the standard attire for long-distance runners.

He was wearing long sleeves and pants, not going for a morning run.

Some people even shaved their heads specifically for the competition, because it would inevitably have some impact.

Jiang Tang, on the other hand, always sports long, flowing bangs.

Seeing this, the other athletes on the same track all flashed a hint of disdain in their eyes.

If Jiang Tang thinks he can beat them, that's wishful thinking.

Despite their disdain, everyone started on the same footing; there was no question of who was ahead or behind.

As the referee gave the signal to prepare, he simultaneously raised the flare gun high into the sky.

Jiang Tang and the other long-distance runners posed for their starting positions.

They waited for the first gunshot, then charged forward without hesitation.

Sometimes, Jiang Tang finds long-distance running quite easy.

Because you don't have to worry about anything, and you don't have to think about anything.

Just keep running on the track in front of you, moving towards that distant goal.

You can hear your heartbeat, gradually accelerating and growing louder, until it becomes as loud as a drumbeat.

But you are not afraid; you clearly feel that you are alive and running.

As long as we don't stay in the same place, it doesn't matter.

The same applies to relationships.

No matter what lies ahead, he will keep running with all his might.

There are no other competitors on this track, only yourself, and any hesitation and doubt in your own heart.

--"boom!"

As the gunshot rang out, Jiang Tang's mind cleared instantly, and he ran forward without a care in the world.

Through absolute focus, Jiang Tang's reaction was far superior to that of the other contestants. His classmates had barely lifted their feet when he was already a body length ahead.

Not to mention his explosive start.

Even some of the athletes in the audience who had just finished their sprint events in the last two days were astonished when they saw it.

If it weren't for the fact that the competition event clearly stated the words "long-distance running".

They could only suspect that Jiang Tang was participating in a sprint race, and this made them wonder if they themselves hadn't participated in a race yet? They'd already won a medal...

It's impossible that Jiang Tang mistakenly thought this was a sprint race and that's why he was pushing himself so hard, right?

That should be impossible, since the news that Jiang Tang was going to run a long-distance race had already spread throughout the entire campus.

This new campus heartthrob is attracting an unusually high amount of attention, so there's no reason he wouldn't know it.

Therefore, we can only conclude that it was done intentionally.

Many people have their own guesses.

It's possible that Jiang Tang knew he had no chance of winning against professional athletes in long-distance running.

So he decided to show off at the start, leaving everyone in the dust and making a deep impression so that it could completely overshadow his later failure.

It has to be said that this is a very likely thing.

Anyway, the starting speed was so fast, and the lead lasted for a long distance and time in the early stages.

Most viewers don't understand; they just think he completely crushed his contemporaries, and that their abilities were on completely different levels.

Anyone with even a basic understanding of long-distance running knows that an early surge inevitably leads to a decline later on.

Jiangtang's high-speed driving can only last until the middle section, after which it has to gradually slow down and be overtaken one by one by its rivals.

"What's wrong with this guy? I didn't say he absolutely had to win the award..."

As a layperson, Teacher Mu Qimei thought that Jiang Tang was risking his life to keep his promise.

He immediately blushed slightly and muttered a complaint.

It could be described as a complaint, but the expression on his face revealed a deep sense of heartache.

Jiang Peining's silver hair swayed gently in the breeze, her gaze fixed solely on the boy leading the race on the track.
