Chapter 471: Chapter 319 Emergency!_3
"In the past, my 50-meter dash was over 8 seconds, ranked within the top five in the whole grade."
Yu Wen looked at her as if she was seeing her for the first time, "That impressive, huh?"
She didn’t know how fast 8 seconds was, but hearing ’top five in the grade’ made her feel it was very strong.
Jiang Ning entered the track field and took her place, only to realize that her classmate, Yang Sheng, had been assigned to the same group.
Jiang Ning had an advantage over Yang Sheng; she was taller, a few centimeters taller than Yang Sheng, and height meant longer legs, meant larger strides.
"Yang Sheng," Jiang Ning took the initiative to greet her, a smile on her fair face.
Jiang Ning’s features were only above average, however, she had a great advantage: her pale skin!
When a girl’s skin is pale to a certain extent, it really can turn the world upside down and greatly enhance her overall appearance.
Yang Sheng was in all black, her slender figure and short ponytail complemented a sharp and handsome profile, attracting the attention of many boys.
She nodded slightly, after all, they were classmates.
Then, Yang Sheng gazed towards the middle of the track, where Jiang Ning and Chen Siyu were waiting for her.
Jiang Ning, feeling snubbed, harbored a faint grudge. She had previously lost a bet with Yang Sheng, which resulted in her doing menial tasks for a long time.
She remembered it for a long time, and now, wasn’t it the perfect opportunity to get even?
But considering the many students around, Jiang Ning gave up the idea, it was inconvenient to challenge Yang Sheng to a bet...
Forget it, she’d pray for Yang Sheng to advance. She intended to make a preemptive arrangement with Yang Sheng in the next round.
With Yang Sheng’s competitive nature, she would surely agree, and Jiang Ning would have her chance to reclaim her dignity.
The girl to the left of Yang Sheng also drew attention; she was 1.7 meters tall, in sports clothes, her long hair pinned up, with a cold expression that warned others to stay away.
Cui Yu said, "Brother Long, isn’t that the waitress from ’Sister Ma’s Barbecue’ we went to last time?"
Wang Longlong said, "That’s Pei Yujing, a student in Class 3 of grade one."
"Tsk, tsk, really appealing," Cui Yu remarked, it was unclear if he was describing the barbecue or Pei Yujing’s looks.
Pei Yujing ignored the surrounding buzz and the looks thrown her way.
She just wanted the race to end quickly so she could find somewhere to rest.
She wasn’t actively participating in the sports meet; when it was time to sign up, there weren’t enough girls from her class, and many were indifferent.
The sports class representative, probably noticing her height and thinking she had long legs suitable for sports, arbitrarily picked her.
Pei Yujing wasn’t good at sports, many girls shorter than her could run faster by pushing off strongly from their calves.
But if she didn’t choose the 100 meters, then she’d have to run 800 meters or something even longer.
Forget it, better to finish early and get it over with.
Holding on to that thought, Pei Yujing signed up for the 100 meters.
Now standing on the track, she felt some regret. The 100 meters was a popular event, likely to get attention, and with a greater chance of showing a gap between runners and losing face...
Well, if she was going to lose face, then let it be.
Pei Yujing just wanted to get it over with quickly.
The atmosphere grew increasingly tense, and as the PE teacher at the finish line raised the starting pistol, the air became heavier.
"Bang!"
The race began!
Pei Yujing was still distracted, and her reaction was slow by a beat, but with that single beat, everyone "whooshed" ahead.
Though she was just going through the motions, Pei Yujing didn’t want to lose too badly.
She stretched out her legs and ran as fast as she could.
She was genuinely giving it her all, yet because of her slow start, she still fell behind to the last place.
Maybe because she hadn’t run for a long time and was out of practice, in the middle of the track, she suddenly stumbled, tripping over her own feet, and lost her balance, falling forward heavily.
As she was about to crash headlong onto the track, a fall that would certainly not be light and probably leave her scraped, a shadow darted from the side!
Instantly springing onto the track, someone scooped her up in a princess carry and brought her safely to the side.
The crowd fell silent.
Bai Yuxia opened her mouth in shock, her eyes wide with astonishment: "Jiang Ning!"
