Ling Qing came back to life not long after returning to the world.

Isn't this too tight?

Ling Qing lowered his head and asked.

From this distance, you can clearly smell the strawberry shampoo scent wafting from Naiyu's hair.

No, no, it's because if it's tied tighter, it's less likely to fall!

Caiyu tilted her head back, her eyes curving into crescent shapes.

The school sports meet is next week, so we need to practice hard.

Ling Qing nodded obediently.

His gaze drifted toward the edge of the playground.

Yukino Yukinoshita, Yumiko Miura, and Yui Yuigahama sat on a bench, each with a different expression as they watched this scene.

The women were there to supervise their training.

Caiyu followed his gaze, a sly glint in her eyes.

Oh dear, it was the Service Department that helped me.

28 After all, three-legged races require tacit cooperation, wouldn't it be better to have professional guidance?

Professionals…

Ling Qing smiled gently.

Yukinoshita is one thing, but when did Urawa Yuihama become a professional?

Ling Qingjun, it's impolite to talk about others behind their backs.

Yukino's cool voice appeared.

Now that we've accepted the commission, we'll naturally take it seriously.

Yumiko walked over with her arms crossed, her long golden hair standing out in the sunset.

So, do you think we're free? If it weren't for Aya crying and begging us…

Yu-Yuko-senpai!

Caiyu hurriedly interrupted her, her cheeks slightly flushed.

I didn't cry!

Yui covered her mouth and chuckled to herself.

His gaze shifted back and forth between Ling Qing and Cai Yu.

You're working together very well; you're already walking quite steadily.

of course!

Caiyu raised her chin triumphantly.

Senior Lingqing and I will definitely become the best partners! Right?

As she spoke, she naturally took Ling Qing's arm.

This action had just occurred.

Ling Qing immediately felt the three gazes in front of him suddenly become sharper.

Yukino's gaze turned colder.

Yumiko frowned, while Yui's smile froze on her face.

Ahem, let's begin our practice.

Ling Qing changed the subject.

How about starting with jogging?

OK!

Caiyu responded cheerfully, showing no intention of letting go.

One, two, one, two…

The two started walking.

However, she almost tripped because Aya's rhythm was right.

Ling Qing quickly grabbed Caiyu's waist to steady her.

The girl's soft body pressed against his side, and his heartbeat seemed to be clearly audible.

Senior Lingqing, I'm so sorry!

It's okay, that's part of the fun of three-legged races. Let's do it again.

Ling Qing gently straightened her body.

Ah!

Caiyu's face flushed slightly.

The two continued their training.

...

On the bench.

Yumiko bit the straw, squeezing the drink cup so hard it made a cracking sound.

Are these two training or flirting...?

Yumiko…

Yui whispered a reminder, stealing a glance at Yukino beside her.

He sat upright under the snow, his face expressionless.

But the knuckles of his fingers, which were gripping the notebook, had turned white.

It turns out.

Agreeing to this was a mistake.

Watching other girls woo and flirt with your boyfriend in front of you is such a torturous thing.

I think they need a more systematic training method.

Yukino suddenly stood up and walked towards the center of the playground.

Such haphazard practice is just a waste of time.

On the playground.

Ling Qing and Cai Yu have gradually found their rhythm, and their steps have become more coordinated.

We're making rapid progress, aren't we?

"I'm so excited," Caiyu said.

With each step, her body drew closer to Ling Qing, her hair brushing against his cheek.

Well, indeed.

Ling Qing nodded.

He was enjoying the soft touch from her arm with a strange expression.

However, it seems that Yukinoshita has something to say.

He just finished speaking.

Yukino has come to them again.

He coldly pointed out: Your rhythm is still problematic.

Aya's steps are too small, while Ao's are too big; such practice over a long period will lead to muscle fatigue.

What advice does Yukino-senpai have?

Caiyu blinked and asked, but her hand secretly tightened its grip on Lingqing's sleeve.

Yukino's gaze lingered on that hand for a second.

Then, with a calm expression, he said: "We should first measure each person's natural stride, calculate the compromise value, and then practice according to that standard."

This sounds so complicated...

Caiyu pouted.

I think we're doing fine as we are now.

I also think that practicing directly is more efficient.

Ling Qing smiled.

He could already sense that Yukino was jealous.

But I just want to see her jealous look; it's such a delicious expression.

……

Upon hearing this, Yukino gazed intently at Ling Qing with her beautiful eyes.

a long time.

She turned away gracefully, leaving behind a single sentence.

Whatever you want.

He left directly.

His back view looked particularly stiff.

As I watched Yukino's retreating figure, a glint of victory flashed in my eyes.

To get even closer to Ling Qing.

Never mind that, let's keep practicing!

The two started jogging again, and this time their coordination was noticeably better.

But it was clearly in a stable state.

However, Aya had an accident while turning.

She tripped.

Ouch!

She screamed.

She threw herself into Ling Qing's arms.

She placed her hands on Ling Qing's chest, her cheeks flushed.

Sorry, I think I stepped on a pebble...

Ling Qing helped her up.

……

He raised an eyebrow slightly.

This guy's acting skills are truly amazing.

It's truly remarkable that she acted so naturally, even though it wasn't intentional.

Ling Qing didn't expose her, and went along with her unintentional performance, saying: Are you alright? Do you need to rest?

No need, no need!

Caiyu quickly shook her head.

She said no, but took the opportunity to rest her head on Ling Qing's shoulder.

But...can I just stay here for a little while? I'm feeling a bit dizzy...
