Chapter 505: Chapter 338: Turn into Light! _2
He remembered clearly that in his previous life he had lived at his uncle’s house, and every holiday his cousins and their spouses, along with Jiang Junlong and Shen Qing’e, would go on trips together.
Jiang Ning’s family had limited finances, and just the cost of travel was a significant burden, not to mention the expenses during the trip.
Back then, while others went on vacations, he stayed inside the house. 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
Jiang Junlong had mentioned bringing him along, but ultimately, it was the Aunt who made the decision.
And she had never mentioned it.
Over three years, Jiang Ning had heard about various mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas from their conversations.
Who would have thought that today he would be fortunate enough to be invited?
Jiang Ning typed, "No, I have other things to do during the holiday."
Shen Qing’e received the message and did not reply.
Xue Yuantong was still in high spirits, and she contacted her good sister Chuchu.
Chuchu was just as unrefined as her, and with Chuchu around, she wouldn’t be the most unsophisticated person.
...
The men’s 3000-meter race was in its final stage.
The girls from Class 8 gradually gathered by the trackside, cheering for Huang Yuzhu.
However, it lacked the fervor they showed when cheering for their class monitor.
Wei Xiu Yuan from Class 1 was far ahead; the 3000-meter race was long and purely punishing, with almost no athletes participating.
In the mountains without tigers, monkeys reign as kings.
Wei Xiu Yuan was indeed the king among the weak.
The 3000 was exhausting, his body was on the verge of explosion, and the weather was particularly hot, yet Wei Xiu Yuan was not tired at all!
In the last lap, as he passed by Class 1’s area, he saw a line of girls standing by the trackside. As he passed by, he raised his hands and gave high-fives to the girls in his class one by one.
Among them was Dong Jiayi.
Several times, Wei Xiu Yuan, lively as a dragon, surged forward a great distance.
Guo Kunnan was envious, "Class 1’s girls really put in the effort."
Dong Qingfeng was insanely jealous; if he were in the race, would the girls of his class, Jiang Yanan, Shen Qing’e, Yang Sheng, also give him this kind of encouragement?
Running so many laps in 3000 meters, touching the pretty girls’ soft, icy hands every lap, their soft cool hands gently sliding over his, the contact, the separation—
That must drive away the summer heat, right?
Luo Jun was also a contestant in the 3000 meters.
Gu Tai, with his dark face, was Luo Jun’s close brother, and they prided themselves as the Black and White Double Killers of Fourth Middle School, once organizing a makeshift funeral for students from the neighboring Class 10.
Their friendship was beyond worldly description, literally friendship from hell.
"Class monitor, look at Class 1. Give Luo Jun some encouragement, let him overtake that bastard from Class 1!" Gu Tai helped out.
Xu Yan hesitated upon hearing this.
Gu Tai urgently said, "He is our class’s last hope."
After considering, Xu Yan decided to agree; it was just clapping after all, no big deal.
She organized the girls from her class, "Everyone, like Class 1, let’s cheer on Luo Jun!"
The girls from Class 11, upon hearing this, didn’t have many objections. Setting aside Luo Jun’s personality, at least he was clean and somewhat handsome.
So the girls didn’t really mind him.
It’s like a girl who might be unpleasant, but if she’s somewhat pretty, the boys wouldn’t especially mind either.
Xu Yan and the girls from her class stood in a line by the trackside, extending their hands, cheering:
"Luo Jun, sprint, sprint!"
"Luo Jun, Luo Jun, you’re the champion!"
Their shouts were quite loud, attracting the attention of the surrounding students.
On the track, Luo Jun’s legs were numb, almost devoid of sensation, he mechanically moved forward.
The only thought in his mind was to finish the race and then drink a can of Red Bull.
All those nightmares, all those sad memories, were gone.
It felt good...
Luo Jun’s sweat poured down, blurring his vision; his sight was impaired.
He could vaguely see someone ahead, his class monitor Xu Yan cheering him on.
Luo Jun felt somewhat inspired; he was not fighting alone!
Charge!
In the final lap, Luo Jun planned to sprint!
Seeing Luo Jun pick up the pace, the girls from Class 11 were delighted, indeed, their encouragement was effective.
Meanwhile, at Class 8’s area, Dan Kaiquan said, "Brother Nan, did you see that?"
Guo Kunnan was stimulated.
"I saw."
He sighed, suddenly longing to study in Class 11 and become one of Xu Yan’s people.
He took out his phone and sent Xu Yan a message: "I saw you guys cheering, awesome 😬"
He did not receive a reply.
That was normal because Xu Yan was busy.
Guo Kunnan was understanding.
Luo Jun’s eyes were full of sweat as he reached out to high-five the girls along the track, one after another, generating a constant stream of applause that filled him with strength.
That was the most genuine trust from his classmates!
He reminisced about his childhood in front of the TV, watching the final episode of Ultraman, where a powerful evil turned Ultraman to stone, plunging the people into despair.
At last, the children turned into light and resurrected Ultraman.
Wasn’t this moment just like that scene from his childhood?
The female classmates, exhausted Luo Jun, gave him the final encouragement.
Thus, he was resurrected!
Only one lap was left.
Luo Jun pushed off the ground, ready to take off: "It’s time to go fight the monster!"
Suddenly, he saw another hand stretch out from the side.
"Haha, another latecomer, huh!"
Luo Jun felt warmth in his heart, thank you!
He reached out to greet the little one.
The next moment, in his blurry vision, the pair of ’little one’s’ hands suddenly magnified, much larger than any hand he had seen before.
Pang Jiao yelled: "Luo Jun!"
Zhang Yifei’s broad face suddenly came close, saying: "Yaha!"
Pang Jiao’s robust arms made contact with Luo Jun’s palm, this clap carried the force of thunder, this clap split the heavens and the earth!
Luo Jun was caught off guard as if struck by lightning, countless nightmares screamed, like a horrifying swarm of bats, circling around his most vulnerable heart.
His defenses were shattered.
His body also shattered as Pang Jiao’s palm, carrying unbeatable force, struck him like a monster’s earth-shaking hit.
Luo Jun’s legs buckled, overwhelmed by an immense fatigue, and he collapsed right there!
The girls from Class 11 covered their mouths in shock.
Xu Yan and Gu Tai rushed forward to help Luo Jun up: "Are you okay?"
The watching teacher hurried over and admonished: "Don’t interfere with the race!"
Pang Jiao pouted: "Luo Jun and I are friends, I was just cheering him on!"
Xu Yan angrily retorted: "You call that being a friend?"
Pang Jiao roared: "I’m closer to Luo Jun than you are!"
Xu Yan was furious.
Upon reflection, there was indeed some truth to that.
...
Cui Yu from Class 8 banged on the table, laughing hysterically: "Hahaha!"
Ma Shicheng asked: "Cui Yu, did you do this?"
Cui Yu waved his hands in denial: "Not me!"
"I swear, it wasn’t me."
Though he was mischievous, he wasn’t that mischievous.
Guo Kunnan was both shocked and pleased, Luo Jun had fallen, Xu Yan must be heartbroken, but had he also lost an invisible rival?
Seizing the opportunity, Guo Kunnan sent a message to Xu Yan: "On behalf of Class 8, I apologize!"
Xu Yan, seeing her class’s Luo Jun out, utterly losing any hope for a prize, all under such annoying circumstances!
She, who valued class honor so much, one could imagine how bad she felt.
Right then, she received Guo Kunnan’s message. Recalling that Guo Kunnan also came from Class 8 and remembering the nuisance he had caused during her run,
Xu Yan’s mood plummeted to rock bottom, she typed:
"Guo Kunnan, let’s not contact each other anymore, I’m afraid the other students might misunderstand."
"Bang!" Guo Kunnan’s phone hit the floor.
His once triumphant expression, in 0.1 seconds, turned to blank shock.
"Bro Nan, Bro Nan, what’s wrong?" Dan Kaiquan waved his hand in front of him.
Ma Shicheng glanced at the phone on the floor, quickly guessing Guo Kunnan’s reason.
Ma Shicheng said meaningfully: "Bro Nan, pick up your phone first, at least it won’t leave you."
Upon hearing this, Guo Kunnan picked up his phone and hastily sent a message: "Yanzi, Yanzi! 😭😭"
