Chapter 495: Chapter 333 Pour the Wine! (5400)_3
For the sake of the competition, he shed all pretense of reserve.
He didn’t speak but picked up Guo Ran and chased after the others.
Since the teacher had personally joined in to help, it would be a disservice not to win the championship.
Jiang Ning exerted a bit of his real strength.
Class 1’s Du Chuan rode on Yuan Xiaomao’s back, watching with wide eyes as Jiang Ning overtook them.
"Damn it!"
Hopelessly outpaced!
And for some reason, he always felt that the girl Jiang Ning was holding seemed a bit familiar.
Class 7’s Bai Han pushed forward with all his might; as a high jump athlete, his physical condition spoke for itself.
Bai Han ran across the field with his charge, his mind fixated only on the finish line. Faster, getting faster—it was almost within reach!
He couldn’t see the competitors behind him due to his limited angle of view.
However, the audience on both sides of the track had a clear view.
"Oh my God, look, look!"
"So fast, way too fast!"
"Amazing speed!"
In their sight, a figure approached from behind at an incredibly fast pace, overtaking several competitors in succession.
The speed was terrifying, as if he were sprinting a hundred meters!
Guo Ran curled up in Jiang Ning’s arms, feeling the speed more acutely than anyone else.
There was also a surging force.
Guo Ran had a strange thought: ’Jiang Ning has such good stamina.’
The wind tossed her hair, slightly tickling her skin. She lifted her head slightly and could see Jiang Ning’s handsome Adam’s apple up close.
The next second, Jiang Ning passed Class 7’s Bai Han team.
Ahead of him were only Class 9’s Shi Qianjin and Shen Xinli.
Class 9 was just 10 meters from the finish line!
The end was right before their eyes!
Their classmates yelled frantically, veins popping on their foreheads:
"Shen Xinli, faster, faster!"
"Faster!"
Shen Xinli ran for his life.
Shi Qianjin on his back wished he could defy Newton’s Law and run through the air for an extra boost!
’Championship is ours!’ Shen Xinli thought wildly in his heart!
Jiang Ning picked up speed, rising to the next level. Amidst the cheers, his figure surpassed Class 9 and crossed the finish line first, seizing the championship!
"Class 8, Class 8!"
"Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning!"
Shen Xinli reeled in shock: "First place, gone!"
In a daze and overwhelmed, his mind went blank, and his steps faltered!
Shen Xinli tumbled forward.
’No, can’t lose again, or we won’t even secure second place!’
With tremendous willpower and stunning skill, Shen Xinli, carrying Shi Qianjin, rolled forward on the ground and actually crossed the finish line!
...
After claiming the championship, Jiang Ning put down Guo Ran and steadied her on her feet.
At that moment, Guo Ran felt somewhat hollow.
The sense of security vanished instantly, and the surrounding air seemed muddled.
Jiang Ning was surrounded by his classmates, and the first thing he did was to express his gratitude:
"Teacher Guo Ran, we owe it to you, our class wouldn’t have stood a chance otherwise."
Chen Siyu: "Exactly, Teacher Guo Ran, you were amazing"
Before the start of the race, she really wanted to be the ’Princess’, but the thought of being carried by other boys made her give it up.
Moreover, Chen Siyu was in cahoots with her sister. She couldn’t just pair up with Jiang Ning; she had to involve her sister, otherwise, her sister would surely blame her.
After the ’Princess Competition’ was over, Jiang Ning returned to Class 8’s shaded area. The sun was about to set, and the second day of the sports event was coming to an end.
Guo Kunnan spoke to Ma Shicheng: "Jiang Ning carried Teacher Guo Ran!"
He was dying of envy.
"Why wasn’t I in the fourth seat?" He was extremely annoyed. How great would it have been if it had been him!
To princess-carry a beautiful teacher was an exceedingly rare experience in life!
He really had no idea what that would feel like.
Ma Shicheng gave him a look and took a moment to gather his thoughts, "Brother Nan, one must have self-awareness."
Guo Kunnan felt like he had a bucket of cold water thrown in his face as he calmed down.
He thought back to the usual interactions between Guo Ran and Jiang Ning, including representing the class for chemistry lessons, giving out snacks, and so forth.
He let out a long sigh.
Ma Shicheng sighed as well.
"Brother Ma, what are you sighing about?" Guo Kunnan wondered. Brother Ma’s life was especially comfortable these days, with money, games to play, and no love troubles.
Ma Shicheng didn’t speak; he was worried. How on earth had Brother Nan turned into his current sorry state?
See a pretty girl, fall in love with her.
"Kaiquan, why didn’t you compete?" Guo Kunnan asked.
Dan Kaiquan reasoned, "Since I’ve thought it through, I know what I want."
Guo Kunnan didn’t understand.
Nearby, Pang Jiao, Zhang Yifei, and Wang Yanyan were engaged in an animated discussion.
Pang Jiao covered her wide face with her large hands, shyly shouting, "Why isn’t anyone holding me?!"
Square-faced Zhang Yifei pouted, "I want a sweet princess carry too!"
They were perplexed as to why, despite their excellence, no one took the initiative to hold them.
Wang Longlong’s mouth twitched as he raised his voice:
"Your Highnesses, the daughters of a thousand gold, commoners dare not presume!"
Hearing this, Pang Jiao and the others felt comforted, and their fondness for Wang Longlong increased by a large margin.
Cui Yu was applying an adhesive bandage he had gotten from Huang Yuzhu to save a trip to the infirmary.
He glanced at Pang Jiao and the others, feeling that something was amiss.
’Where did Li Shengnan run off to?’
Since he had invited the girls to dance for Class 7, Li Shengnan was the only one missing.
...
Class 9.
"Xinli, don’t blame yourself, you’re already very strong."
"Yes, you didn’t let us down in Class 9." Yan Tianpeng consoled.
"You just encountered a monster." Shen Xu spoke the truth. Class 8’s Jiang Ning was definitely a monster; his talent was too great!
Shi Qianjin also advised, as everyone was afraid something might go wrong with him.
After all, Shen Xinli was now too easily crushed.
Seeing his classmates’ enthusiasm, Shen Xinli smiled with a pale face, "Don’t worry, I’m fine."
The class monitor said, "Xinli, you did well. The spirit of the sports meet was fully demonstrated by you."
Shen Xinli replied, "What’s this? It’s what I should do!"
Shi Qianjin looked at the wound on Shen Xinli’s knee, which he had scraped in the struggle, and was still bloody.
"Xinli, let’s go to the infirmary." Shi Qianjin suggested.
Shen Xinli said, "It’s just a scratch, it doesn’t hurt, not at all!"
He sat there calmly, drinking water.
To show off his manly fortitude.
The class monitor said, "Still, you should get it checked, just in case it gets infected."
Shen Xu added, "That’s right, dab a little alcohol on it."
Shi Qianjin joined in, "Right, get some alcohol disinfection."
After some persuasion, Shen Xinli reluctantly agreed, and under his classmates’ support, he headed to the school infirmary.
Shen Xinli wasn’t just an ordinary student anymore, but a hero who had made contributions to his class!
On the way, Shen Xinli was filled with pride, splendid and spirited, casting his gaze far and wide, thoroughly enjoying himself.
It was as if he had found that youthful energy from the start of school again.
Everyone was quite gratified.
Did Shen Xinli hurt? Of course it hurt, the bloody wound on his knee was visible, and there was no way it didn’t hurt!
However, compared to the exhilaration in his heart, what was this little pain, this little wound?
Shen Xinli stepped into the school infirmary.
He sat down on the bench like the historical figure Guan Yu undergoing bone scraping, his face full of vigor as he called out:
"Waiter, bring on the wine!"
Shi Qianjin exclaimed, "Brother Li has style!"
Right after he finished speaking, a robust woman walked out from the side room. She was muscular, with a rough face, thick brows, fierce eyes, and wild hair, much like a raging bull.
Li Shengnan bellowed, "You want wine?"
Shen Xinli recognized this female classmate, and he trembled with fright, his face growing even paler as he stuttered, "Ah! I, I didn’t mean..."
