Before Suga Wulian could send a message, a message was sent from the other end.

Suga Wulian deleted the text she had typed again.

Congratulations, Shiraishi-kun!

"Hehe! I shouldn't have been able to run this fast, but everyone cheered me on so well that I couldn't run slow even if I wanted to."

"It's because you, Shiraishi-kun, are inherently capable."

"It's definitely not all of them. My friends' encouragement really made it impossible for me to slow down. Almost all my friends cheered me on today, except for you, Bored Guy."

"I've been trying my best to cheer you on, Shiraishi-kun," Soga Kirei sent this message directly.

"Come on, Mr. Boredom. If you had come to our school today, I would have run even faster. You know I don't have many female friends in real life. Today, all three of my female friends came to cheer me on. I really don't dare to run slowly; it would be too embarrassing."

Soga Kirei suddenly felt a surge of excitement; had she successfully become friends with him?

There are two more. One is Ichiru, and the other should be Takanashi. Even the student council president has heard of Takanashi Yuuko. What kind of people are they?

What time are you running tomorrow afternoon?

3:20.

"Then tomorrow at that time, I'll keep silently chanting 'Go Shiraishi-kun!' in my heart! That should count as my encouragement, right? Please run even faster, Shiraishi-kun!"

"Understood, sir!"

Chapter 43 I Can't Come Up with a Long Title

With the power of love, Takagi Ryo became more and more courageous. In the morning 80-meter sprint, a physical education student was disqualified for false starts twice. Takagi Ryo won the silver medal with the first place in the preliminary group and the second place in the first-year group.

"They held hands! Oh my god, is Takagi's probation period over?" "Disgusting, Takagi even hung his medal around Fukada's neck." "I really want to burn him to the ground."

"Sigh, seeing Takagi and the others like this reminds me of my junior high school days," Arisu Takeuchi said dejectedly.

"What? Takeuchi, you actually had a first love?"

“No, I was watching couples like this when I was in junior high school.” Arisu Takeuchi was even more disappointed.

.......

A few boys in the stands sat cross-legged, watching Takagi Ryo and Fukada Hoi strolling in the center of the playground with a sour expression. Suddenly, Takeuchi Arisu turned his attention to Shiraishi Sawa Hide, who was lying on the ground in the stands.

"Shiraishi, did you see the bunny girl yesterday?"

In an instant, the eyes of the other animals lit up with a dazzling red light. "Yes, yes, let's bring out the good stuff and show it to everyone!"

Shiraishi Sawa spat out the grass root he was chewing, too lazy to even open his eyes.

"You actually believe whatever she says? A woman's mouth is a liar's tongue. She's a cunning liar. I can't see it, so don't even think about it."

"Damn it, by the way, isn't that pretty girl Shiraishi your girlfriend?" Maeda Shusuke asked curiously.

"No, it's just a casual friend. I, Shiraishi Sawa, will definitely not be in a relationship anytime soon."

We have to wait until we're qualified first.

"Can we have her contact information? Didn't you say you could? We don't want anything, we just want another pretty girl friend!" Suddenly, everyone surrounded Shiraishi Zexiu.

"Don't block my sunlight," Shiraishi Zexiu said helplessly as he sat up. "She said she could only add you in person, so giving you her contact information is useless and will only cause me to get beaten up."

When the time comes, Shiraishi Sawa will be the one who gets harassed and hurt once Chiyo enters the city.

"So how did you meet?"

"A friend who works at a supermarket."

"Damn it! I'm going to tell the club president I'm quitting the club next week, I want to join the part-time job club too!"

"Come on, hurry up, the group jump rope is about to start, let's go take a look."

.......

Yuko Takanashi is now quite well-known at Meikawa Middle School, and those who don't know her and are curious want to see her even more, so the area around any competition she participates in is always packed with people.

Seeing that it was already too crowded to get to the surrounding area, the group went to the top of the adjacent stands to take advantage of the height and see what was happening inside.

Although Shiraishi Sawa could see them, he followed them over. From a higher vantage point, he discovered a small vacuum area near the competition venue, where Soga Kirei and Shimizu Yoshiko were located. Apparently, the people around them were afraid of Shimizu Yoshiko, so they dared not get too close.

Strange, why would the president suddenly come to watch this competition? I explained to her before that I only participated in the 1500m and 2000m races, so it couldn't be that she came to watch for me.

If you can't figure it out, just go ask someone.

After speaking with Shiraishi Sawa and Maeda Shusuke, he headed towards the vacuum area.

"Excuse me, could you move aside? Thank you, thank you, I'm so sorry..."

"Phew~" Shiraishi Zexiu finally squeezed his way in and saw that both of them were looking at him. He greeted them, "Good morning, President Su and Vice President Shimizu."

"Hello, Shiraishi-kun." Shimizu Yoshiko greeted Shiraishi Sawahide. They had gone out together and were quite familiar with each other.

"Why are you here today to watch the first-year group jump rope competition? Is it a student council task?" I asked the two of them after standing next to Soga Kirei.

"No, it's because the president suddenly said she wanted to see it, so I came with her."

There were too many people around, so Soga Kirei didn't speak, but instead typed on her phone.

"Ever since Takanashi came to our school, I've heard so much about her, and I wanted to come and see for myself today."

Soga Kirei's gaze was indeed fixed on Takanashi Yuuko, who was hopping around in the middle of the rope.

"Hahahaha..." Shiraishi Sawah laughed, "I didn't expect that you, President, have the same goal as many of the people around you."

"If you ask me, Takanashi is an incredibly kind person. She's gentle in her dealings with people and things, and she's also very pretty, so naturally she has a great reputation."

"Are you very familiar with her, Shiraishi-kun?"

"It's alright." We just live together.

"Do you like this kind of personality?"

"I admire it more, because it would cause too much trouble for me, and sometimes it could even hurt me. I just couldn't do it."

"I see."

The three continued watching the game.

This year's first-year high school class had 8 classes, and they ultimately won third place in the group jump rope competition, which is not bad.

In the 4x100 relay, they only got sixth place because there weren't many students in the class who were good at sprinting.

--

Chiyo arrived even earlier this time, contacting Shiraishi Sawashu on Line right around lunchtime to let him know she had arrived.

Hideaki Shiraishizawa and Yuko Takanashi were preparing to eat a special meal for long-distance runners, so they brought Chiyo Ichiri directly from the school gate to the place where they were eating.

"Shiraishi-kun, I never thought you'd eat such small portions one day," Chiyo Ichiri said as she watched Shiraishi Sawashu eat.

"After all, there's a long run ahead. What if I eat too much and my stomach churns up? Today, I'm going to try my best to finish second."

“Takanashi-kun, let’s add each other on LINE?” Chiyo turned her attention to Takanashi Yuko again. “I often hear Shiraishi-kun talking about you. He often calls your name suddenly when he’s working at the supermarket.”

Hideaki Shiraishizawa and Yuko Takanashi both choked on their food, and Yuko Takanashi's face turned red with embarrassment.

"Adding...adding on Line is fine, but please don't do these things again, Shiraishi-kun."

Shiraishi Sawa looked at the naive girl with a shocked expression. "Don't believe this woman's nonsense, Takanashi-kun. I didn't do those things."

Unexpectedly, Takanashi Yuuko's face turned even redder. "Ah! I'm so sorry!" she cried, even standing up to bow.

Shiraishi Sawa Hideki rolled his eyes at Ichii Chiyo, who was smiling smugly at the moment.

"Just watch us eat and stop talking nonsense, or I'll tell security you're not actually from our school."

"Okay, Shiraishi-kun, eat up. And make sure you get a good run this afternoon."

"Having you around is the biggest factor preventing me from running properly."

--

As usual, Shiraishi Sawah slipped away to the office to steal a recliner and take a nap. Chiyo didn't disturb him this time. After agreeing on a latest time to appear on the playground, she went to find Soga Kirei, the only friend she knew at the school.

The good weather didn't last long. Before the alarm clock even went off again, the sunlight in front of Shiraishi Sawa was blocked.

"Damn it! Didn't you say you wouldn't bother me when I entered the mulberry grove?"

Shiraishi Sawa opened his eyes helplessly.

Gennai Ichiro looked at Shiraishi Sawa with a smile.

"Shiraishi, how did you manage to lie down on this recliner so naturally, teacher?"

Chapter 44 Sometimes Fairness and Justice Don't Exist

"Haha, what a coincidence, teacher, you're in the office too. I have to go and bring honor to the class, goodbye."

Shiraishi Sawahide grabbed the coat covering him, quickly got up from the recliner, and fled the scene.

"You little rascal, keep up the good work!" Gennai Ichiro said with a laugh as he watched Shiraishi Sawa Hide's retreating figure.

Although Shiraishi Sawa Hide would certainly not mind if Gennai Ichiro continued to lie down, Shiraishi Sawa Hide thought about it and decided not to be alone in the room with the homeroom teacher while he was sleeping, for fear of having nightmares.

Shiraishi Sawa looked at his watch; it was only a little before 1:30.

"The entertainment activities ended way too early today. Oh well, if I don't run as well as I did yesterday, I'll just blame it on the teacher."

After finding Chiyo Ichiriki and Kirei Soga, I watched Kirei Soga's class match with them for a while. Soon, it was almost three o'clock, and the match between Hideki Shiraishi and Yuuko Takanashi was about to begin.

After the check-in was completed, Takanashi Yuko was still the first to compete. As it turned out, in long-distance running, people with high stamina would achieve better results over longer distances. Takanashi Yuko improved a little and came in fourth in the whole school and first in the first grade group.

"It's my turn again."

Shiraishi Sawah stood at the outermost position of the starting line, taking a deep breath to adjust his state.

Feeling the intense gazes of others, Shiraishi Sawa looked towards the source of the stares. Akimoto Tadahiro was staring at him fiercely, making a throat-slitting gesture with his hand.

Shiraishi Sawa didn't even bother to respond, and simply turned his head to look ahead.

People gradually filled up the area, and the referees were already in place. Even though I was standing on the outermost edge, I still felt crowded.

"run!"

At the command, everyone started running.
